just to head off any whackjob right wingers, Fox Noise Channel did indeed report NOT that Senator Hillary Clinton's campaign reported that Barack Obama attended a madrassa but that he DID attend a madrassa.
In the late 80's, we started seeing the closing of bases, and slashing of defense budgets under Bush Sr. Remember the hubbub that right wingers had over Kerry voting to slash countless military programs(which it turned out to be Dick Cheney's, then secretary of Defense, idea) when he ran?
in the 90's, we saw a reevaluation and refocusing of where the miliary went. In short, no, Clinton didn't gut the military.
maybe where it comes to blatant astroturfing, no. But Hiro Nakamura's blog really drew me into the Heroes thing. NOw with Primatech paper and Hana Gitelman's blog... it's kind of impressive what you can do when you present a product meaningfully to consumers
To be fair to slashdot, they're atleast a few days ahead of the Mainstream press when it comes to tech stories. Even with misleading headlines, they're also ahead of the curve with reporting them too.
Because it's not on speech, it's on communications medium.
The bill in question would've put restrictions on anyone who was getting paid $100,000 or more per year to blog for political reasons from another group. Plus McCain/Feingold restricts the medium, not anything content wise. The idea here is to restrict the possibility that one would be able to outspend their opponent.
The fact that people can get paid $100k+ for this activity boggles the goddamn mind.

That's why i support Barack Obama and Dennis Kucinich.
Clinton didn't gut the Military. Bush did.

Had ross perot not looked like a jackass in 1992, he could've won then. He had the means, money and support.
No, this is american politics, I don't NEED to cite my sources!
(I made the post with the factoid I used knowingly pulled out of my ass so I could set up that zinger.)
Like Trickle Down economics isn't redistributive?
besides, in large urban centers and suburban areas Gun Control LOWERS crime rates, not increases them.
microsoft reps often cited WinXP problems as reasons why vista was delayed.
What the poster is wondering is why not get more poeple to fix WinXP and more people to work on Vista?
Borat.
What's he's doing isn't *clearly* right or wrong.
Wrong: He's getting litigious for no good reason.
Right: He's trying to stop people from doing The Electric Slide.

Horcruxes.
Horcruxen?
MacBooks and MacMinis ship with DVI on board.
Spring time for hitler and germany!
Deustchland is happy and gaaaaaaay!
the second amendment was an afterthought.

I knew I should've said *something* when I heard about this on the Focus on the Family broadcast a week or so ago.
Sigh.
There was talent involved with the production of Serenity?
Rush -IS- flaming looney. Read "The Way Things Aren't" or "Rush Limbaugh is a big fat idiot."
Fox News ran in the red for years before becoming profitable. Does this mean that Right Wing news has no space in public discourse?
It just means that Air America doesn't have a rich asshole billionaire behind it, despite people accusing George Soros otherwise.
(George Soros gives and belongs to organizations that do indeed support Air America, but he doesn't care about it either way.)
NPR presents all sides fairly. What the hell have you been listening to? Sam Seder sounds far different from NPR.
-or- a better way to look at it, NPR's most popular program is Car Talk. I don't imagine the average Car Talk listener to be incredibly political.
Pacifica has no big name talent. No Al Franken, no Randi Rhodes, no Steve Earle, etc.
Great idea! And when I want my friends and listeners to know I've updated, I could start an RSS feed!
The bug affected machines that had more than 2 gig, but less than 4.
How the hell that works is waaaay beyond me.
You insensitive clod!
