As for the recession, yeah it sucks. But my 401k and investments are needed right now, and I'm more than willing to see them take another pummeling if it helps wipe the smarmy smirk of some of the fanatics and takes them down a notch.
I'm less concerned about my 401k and more concerned about people starving. I'm not a big advocate of people dying to prove a point.
Not my problem. Political fanatics that I have to deal with daily, is my problem. I'd pay to see them take a hit. And I view them as more of a long term problem then "people starving" to my daily life.
If that makes me an asshole fine, but that's how I see it.
Those starving people might drop down dead near the fountainhead of your water supply. The decaying corpses would be polluting your bodily fluids, your essence, with disease.

Equal rights are fine and all, but we have morons voting in droves. All brainwashed to their party.
So... your ideal party in charge would be one that few people actually voted for, so as to cut down on any human involvement, without any firm stances or ideas for people to get behind, to avoid any degree of enthusiasm in the people who despite best efforts still decide to involve themselves.
I thought it was rather obvious. I mean, I tortured both sentences in order to get the two references to make sense.
I only got the Fountainhead one... what was the other?

Honestly, based on our gays in the military discussion previously in this thread, I think military coup may be more his style.

That would be one with healthy debate that most people don't just tow the line for and subscribe to all it's ideology.
I can't say I like either of our options.
So... in terms of importance,
the other guy being wrong > someone not starving.
At this point, I SERIOUSLY hope this is just trolling. The alternative is depressing.
No I'm dead serious. I was anti Republican for years because of their base, now I hate the Dems just as much.

Depending on the Admiral or General, I could get behind that.
So apparently the first family took their first trip to Camp David this weekend.
First Black President to crap in the woods.
Really, moniker? Really?
Beats talking about dystopian hellscapes wrought solely to make a point.
Plus Thurmont seems like it kinda sucks. But then I'm not a big fan of cabins.
Yeah, cabins basically suck. Stupid cabins.
Sort of on topic: what do we expect tomorrow night? Pissed off rampaging at the Democratic House retreat Obama, Professor Obama, campaigning Obama?

I suddenly have this image of Obama camping, with tents and similar accessories, which is hilarious because I know Obama probably knows nothing about camping and would be the first to admit that he knows nothing about camping.
Now I'm picturing the entire Administration camping. Summers and Geithner have just failed at setting up the tent and Rahm Emanuel is screaming profanities at them.

Harry Reid is trying to give the tent whatever it wants and Pelosi is standing behind him contemplating bashing him over the head with a log.

I think a mixture of all three. But likely mostly angry and professor Obama. What he needs to do now is control the bill merging.

Everyone's pestering Shinseki because he's probably the only one who knows anything about actually living in the wilderness. Except maybe Gates and Jones. Who are all sitting by the fire smoking cigars.

Right now, they're the options you've got. This is the time when you go hunting for people you'd like to see run next season so they have enough time to set up, so if you've got anyone in mind, go contact them and see if they'll give it a shot.

Dear Newsweek: Stop being tools. Lern 2 maek intelligent headline.
Also "new era of big government"?
It's only big government when it's pouring money into our economy and trying to elevate the level of public discourse that has fallen dead by the wayside, but the last 8 years of enormous and unchecked executive power is small government because omg lower taxes?
Well we are all socialists now. This is not necessarily a bad thing, and it's rather silly that we're dithering over whether to admit it to ourselves.
I will kill you so much.
Seriously, though, you know as well as I do that the problem is Newsweek saying the socialist thing is because of this bullshit stimulus bill, which can do nothing but bad things on half a dozen levels.

The title is still true.
But Newsweek is also sensationalist garbage. They've become quite a bit worse than Time, which is itself only mediocre. They were one of the principle media outlets feeding the Palinmania in the wake of the RNC, which I've neither forgotten nor forgiven. And they pushed the idiotic 'center-right country' meme too.
