  1. Re:It's OK on McCain Decries "Hobbits," Accused of Ringbearing · · Score: 1
    I think Palin is out, but I would seriously consider donating to Michelle Bachmann's campaign. I don't have enough faith in American voters to believe Bachmann running would be a guaranteed victory for democrats, but even so I think it would be better for the country in the long run if she actually won the presidency. The voters need some "shock & awe", the sooner the country can bottom out the quicker the ignorant public will wake up and realize what has been going on before their very eyes, and hopefully be motivated to vote the ideologues and corporate shills out of office.

    And it would be fun to watch.

    By tea party standards the great Ronald Reagan wasn't a "true" republican either, so stop worshiping him already.

    I think it has less to do with their beliefs than it does with making sure Obama doesn't get re-elected at any cost to the people, the worse the consequences the better. Many have no problems admitting exactly that. I can hope it will bite them in the ass, but unfortunately I don't have much faith in the U.S. voters.

    John Boehner compared negotiating with President Obama to negotiating with Jell-O alluding to the president's changing stance in negotiations

    Other's might call this attempting to compromise, it's not surprising he's confounded by the concept.

    Um, it really happened numbnuts. And you could have simply cited the OJ Simpson trial rather than coming up with this ridiculous 18th century Black Panther fabrication. Not only is it a couple hundred years before the Black Panther party, blacks would not have served on a jury back then nor would they have gotten a trial at all.

    Oh, and it's "you're", short for "you are". It's called a contraction. Not only did you skip American History, it seems you missed a few English classes also.

    jury nullification---its a good thing

    Would this also apply to, say, an all white jury acquitting a KKK member of bombing a church and killing 4 young black girls?

  11. Re:Conspiracy! on The Science Behind Fanboyism · · Score: 1

    I agree. I've tried just about every potato chip or nacho in the snack aisle marketed as "HOT & SPICY!!!", most of them have the heat of a green bean, and even the hottest I've tried are on par with a mild jalapeno. Strangely the hottest chips I've found weren't even marketed as "OMG HOT HABANERO", they were simply potato chips labeled "Jalapeno Flavored" (which I can't find anymore, which is a shame because they were delicious). I don't get why they would market something as hot when it's not, people who don't like spicy will not buy them because they're labeled spicy, and people who do like spicy will be disappointed and only buy them once, it makes no sense.

  12. Re:Interesting fact on Zuckerberg Quits Google+ Over Privacy Concerns · · Score: 1
    Exactly, at least that's the biggest draw for me. I don't want every one of my contacts to see my detailed account of the dead hooker in my trunk. There are things that may be relevant and appropriate to say to friends that you wouldn't want your family or colleagues to see. My RL friends don't know or care about my online friends and vice versa, and none of my friends don't care about my grandma's 80th birthday or the company picnic.

    Also, the Zuckerberg creating a G+ profile, and then publicly quitting for "privacy concerns" is so transparent.
