Well, you are supposing a lot about me. But I will concede maybe I play into the right-vs-left thing too much. And I do think of it as a sport.
However, "my side" sees politicians working together as the problem. I have no issue with government being paralyzed. I don't want them to work on solutions. The less they do the better.
And I said "calm down" because you were rude. It was condescending, so sorry for that.
Confession time - I did indeed do this. The "WhiteHart" sock puppet was a childish experiment to see if a raging liberal (as opposed to a hardcore right-winger) would garner more karma. Of course I am not a raging liberal, so the experiment went nowhere (as you can see from WhiteHart's comment history).
This may or may not violate Slashdot's account policies. I'm not sure, I cannot find anything about multiple accounts in the FAQ. If it becomes an issue and my regular account were to be terminated, I really have no defense to give.
As I said, the WhiteHart "fake" account never really got off the ground, and I'm surprised to have found myself logged in. According to the FAQ, I cannot delete WhiteHart; I will just have to try to forget about him. Please believe me when I say I've learned a few things in the 8 years since I set up the sock-puppet, and it is something I detest today if I see it elsewhere. Mostly I really do stick to posting my comments under my actual name where practical.

Or the credit?
Will I finally be able to dance?
OK, I lied; I do have another question. But I'm going to refrain...
Hah!
It looks like in the US problems caused by being a fat ass or smoker is the leading cause by a long margin.
Did anyone get his name?
I'll open the ".DOC" file that they send via email and see :)
If you're lucky. If you're not, it's a ".PPT" file.
Those stars are stationary.
We're moving at a third of the speed of light.
No wonder I'm so tired all the time.
It's progressive if the oysters and clams are working together, and sharing the same bathroom.
The ocean is teaming with life....
GO TEAM LIFE!
Sorry, couldn't resist...
Does this mean the new iPhone could also be gay?
Ah, but what if I gave my bot artificial intelligence, so that it could DECIDE to be hateful or not?
I think "nuclear family" does not mean what you think it does. But if I'm wrong, what is the alternative that you're thinking of?
"Get ON the plane? Fuck you, I'm getting IN the plane!"
This might explain why grown men are more and more behaving like frightened old women these days.
Maybe that's what happened to Stephen King.
But will one be able to press the "Shift" key from Singularity?
Do people that chime in saying "fusion has been 20 years away since the 70s" think they're presenting an original gripe?
No, we've been tired of hearing this gripe since the 60s.
One of the judges had already promised the Physics prize to his cousin, so they had to make do.
He expected someone with better genes to read it.

A perfectly reasonable proposition. Too many are labeled "deniers" for taking any position less than the extreme.
Another example of the Republican War on Women.
"It drives me crazy that I need both a metric and a standard set of socket wrenches and hex keys"
Me too, I want a set that is a mix of metric and SAE. At least the SAE sizes should be in metric first with the SAE size added as an afterthought.
I don't know if I believe you guys or not.
As a tool guy, I'm always wanting more tools, not less.
(Joking, but only kinda)
I vote semi-colon.
Four Charged With Stealing Army Helicopter...
Whhuuuuut??!?!?
oh... meh
It's interesting that the politicians that *I* would describe as "liberal Democrats" are now the authoritarians.
