I don't think you even need the "directed at right-wing targets" bit--there may be intentionally funny rightwingers but Rush Limbaugh is not one of them. But what you're trying to actually say is true--he never says anything negative about a right-winger who hasn't already been declared apostate.
And notice how the BBC produces better programming than any US broadcast network. Reality TV--this is capitalism in action. Stuff the rich fatcats with money. And if anybody complains about not being able to afford dinner then they're evil socialist scum trying to Destroy the American Way and Families(tm) by not being hundreds of thousands of dollars in debt to billionaire CEOs.
After reading this I must wonder: Why is the US system so broken? Other countries have managed to at least partially seperate profit motive from television and therefore reduce the amount of crap on and yet the United States still...sucks.
I wish the US had a TV license. That way we could have a TV channel not tied to the profit margin so that we could get decent shows like Doctor Who more often. Wait, this is the United States, they'd go out of their way to make it all reality crap.
There aren't. It's just that people in the second-most-recent wave of immigration would like to think that they're somehow better than people in the most recent wave of immigration.
In this world nothing is certain but death, taxes and failed car analogies.
What if I have a sarcophagus, live in Sealand, and always succeed in making car analogies? No death, no taxes, and no failed car analogies. (Actually, a Goa'uld wouldn't really have to worry about taxes or cars either way...)
Behind every single computer conspiracy, there are humans. If it weren't for the fact that the current voting-machine companies are conspiracies(get several completely independent companies) machine voting would be much less corruptible than paper ballots--it's much easier to fake a ballot with only human-readable text on it than one with a cryptographic signature.
If I had to choose between Diebold and paper ballots, sure I'd choose paper ballots. But if I had to choose between paper ballots and machines from a voting company not run by people whose main business before starting the voting-machine company was old-style election fraud, I'd choose the latter.
No, the naysayers on the iPod were talking about the first generation, which frankly did suck. (The iPod has much more space than a Nomad now.) This one is just hypothetical crap.
Remember, not wanting the exact same things as the majority is bad.</sarcasm> Just because the iPod is right for you doesn't mean it's right for somebody with different wants and needs. But the Zune still doesn't fill any actual niche, considering that the geeks who eschew the iPod for those reasons generally hate Microsoft more.
(For the record, I have an iPod. I don't have any major problems with it, with the exception of iTMS songs(I got a $15 gift card for Christmas) not playing on Linux, and the fact that it periodically gave me the "Sad iPod" face)
Tagging sometimes seems to work well--I often see 'troll', 'flamebait', 'slashvertizement'(God, I hate that word but it seems to be occurring less frequently, thank God), 'dupe', 'pigpile'(Roland), etc. on articles.

I could have sworn that most of the really bad things Netscape did to themselves came after Microsoft gave OEMs a discount for not bundling Netscape.

Gotta love capitalism.

Except that it's not funny to anybody with more than two braincells.

Not yet, but in 1984 it was. (Well, actually they were both part of Oceania and Britain was called 'Airstrip One'.)
That's because "cahoots" and "reckon" are actual words.
What's funny is that in 1984 America and the UK are both part of Oceania.
It's called a negative correlation, not an "anti-correlation".
My guess? Both.

Apple didn't steal their interface from Creative. Creative is just trying to pretend that they patented interfaces.

What about this?
He only included console games. BR: OtRR is a PC game, even though it makes those console games look like fucking Half-Life 2.
Insults don't have to be false. Actually, in general, if they're clearly false they're rarely insults.
I really wish my Slashdot account had four digits right now :P
