McCain Campaign Uses Spider/Diff Against Obama
Vote McCain in 2008! writes "McCain's campaign is doing everything it can to erase Obama's online advantage, this time they ambushed Obama by detecting edits to his website when he updated some of his policy positions. This isn't the first time the Republicans have shown up the Democrats with their web savvy — you may remember the previous reports about the Republican Web 2.0 Consultants and their online campaigning game. This just proves that old Republicans can learn new tricks." Assuming the spider adheres to robots.txt, this is clever and well done.
You have to click on the score to get the moderation history. It was moderated "underrated" and the poster has a karma bonus. Why "underrated" was an appropriate choice here and why it doesn't get listed next to the score, however, I can't answer.
HAIL!
In Soviet Russia jokes are formulaic and decidedly non-humorous.
It was unintentional. Kharma is a phunee thing. I actually corrected someone recently for the identical malapropism. Re-reading what I wrote, I cringe at the verbosity, poor construction, and use of cliche. It's like someone else wrote it, but it sounds strangely familiar, and somehow solipsistic. Playgerism, perhaps?

Since when was 'savvy' a noun? It can be used as an adjective to mean someone who is well-informed and perceptive. It can also be a verb, meaning 'to understand'. However, it does not function as a noun.
Those using pirated Tinysoft signatures(TM) are a real threat to society and should all be thrown in jail.
Moderators: Moderate all the elder siblings of this comment insightful. Or maybe underrated. Silly Slashdot.
That's bad enough but you forgot "while reducing Federal income by slashing taxes" at the end.
Except the facts are otherwise
:
Total federal revenues grew by about $625 billion, or 35 percent, between fiscal year 2003 and fiscal year 2006... Had revenues grown at the same rate as the overall economy between 2003 and 2006, federal receipts would have increased by only $373 billion. The other $252 billion of the actual increase in revenues represents growth in excess of GDP growth
So the tax cuts stimulated enough increase in federal revenues to outstrip the growth of the GDP by 40%. Lower taxes increased growth in revenue.
Browsing at +1 - no ACs, I ignore their posts. So refreshing!
