Anyone switch sides?
peanut and I are pretty big backers of the two-party system. Take New Zealand for instance, their conservative party will likely get 35% plurality, but they need 50% majority, so likely they will have to make deals with the green party (think of Lieberman caucasing with the democrats to the extreme), so, the conservative party, to stay in power, will make huge concessions to one of the most liberal groups in New Zealand. I think the third party system sounds pretty appealing, but in practicality in the American system, there's a reason they haven't gained weight. edit: by peanut I meant dukenukem.

I wrote an editorial for my paper
I have great things to say about Missouri's journalism school. Especially about Stu Lori, teaching my international media systems class, guy has been around through everything, moscow correspondent, started CNNs world report, and just sits in front of us and spits knowledge. He's awesome.

Palin's Other Man Revealed
QUOTE (Soxy @ Oct 16, 2008 -> 06:00 PM) I think Michelle is really pretty. Certainly better looking than he is. Anyway. I take what I call the Elliot Spitzer approach to cheating/immoral activities. In general, I don't care. Truly don't care. It's not my business. I've made personal mistakes and I hope that I am not being judged by past mistakes. If it doesn't affect your job performance (and isn't illegal), it really isn't my business. It's a personal matter. I DO care when someone is really hypocritical in their dalliances (ala Spitzer). Don't claim to be pro-family and marriage if you're going to cheat on your wife. Don't crack down on prostitution stings if you're getting services from the prostitutes. Don't lecture me about drug usage when you're popping the vicodin. Don't be a dick about gay rights if you're into anonymous gay sex. I care about Spitzer because he broke the law.

2008 General Election Discussion Thread
QUOTE (StrangeSox @ Oct 16, 2008 -> 07:59 PM) Yes, it was. Obama has had a few more that have stretched or distorted the truth ("100 years" was definitely taken out of context and made out to be more than it really was). I think some of McCain's ads blow anything Obama has done out of the water, though. http://www.newyorker.com/online/blogs/hend...ns-hundred.html

Obama vs. McCain Debate III
I saw an interview with him. It reminded me that I don't care. He wanted to get rid of social security. Your opinion doesn't matter to me.

2008 General Election Discussion Thread
QUOTE (lostfan @ Oct 16, 2008 -> 06:57 PM) The one where he tied McCain to Rush Limbaugh and misrepresented his stance on immigration. Frankly, I don't care if he tied McCain to Lumbaugh. After McCain won the primary and during the primary, he catered to every gripe that Lumbaugh had about him. So in that way, i think they very much are tied. Lumbaugh has a huge audience, McCain needs them.

The Democrat Thread
Should I go see Dr. Jill Biden or fmr. Sen. Sarbanes on Friday. both are at the same time. I'm leaning towards Sarbanes, but I've heard great things about Dr. Biden.
