Unreal : "Many argue that these children that are born to illegal aliens are really still under the jurisdiction of the Mexican government," Paul said in an interview earlier this week with Right Wing News. "I think we need to fight that out in the courts. If we lose, then I think we should amend the Constitution because
[quote]His lumping the liberal side with the conservative side and accusing them of the same malady means he is scared for his own side. [/quote] Or he recognizes the vast amount of symmetry between the two parties. [quote]But that is not usually the case with the left (nor the right generally, although they are more prone to self examination than the left). [/quote] Oh yes, all that self-examination........

Matt Miller in the WaPo does a good job of pissing in everybody's wheaties . The fascinating thing is that both groups are correct about the obsolescence of the other side's key premises, yet blind to the staleness of their own. What partisans on neither side seem to sense is that events are poised to consign many traditional priorities of both conservatives and liberal

[quote]You are taking things in absolute. Because BP made a mistake, they must be pure evil. Intellectually you know that is not the case, yet it is the easy and lazy way of viewing things. Clearly no one is excus
Oh god. You, may remember candidate Sharron Angle who told us that we're getting close to violently overthrowing the United States government and that 'the first thing we need to do' is to 'take Harry Reid out' . Now she's letting us know exactly <a href="http://littlegreenfoot
Again, if you are talking about the powdered wigs, you may be right. If you are talking about the little people, you have not been listening much. If by "little people" you mean "the mouthbreathers", you're probably right. I'm not listening to them. Again DG: It's an issue of taste. You go apologize to the guy who's been the face of the crucifixion, you're casting your lot. It's a gamble
[quote]My hope is that the Democrats will be so unhappy with him [/quote] Not a chance. [quote]You detract from your message by using the slur term of Tea bag. But that is your choice. If you want to be taken seriously, then discuss it seriously. not like a shill for Rahm Emmanuel.[/quote] I call them Teabaggers because it's a term of respect. Or something.
I understand that. But again, it's about taste and it's about perception. There's a reason right now why Joe Barton is a bit of a laughing stock.
Ouch. A humdinger from EJ Dionne. Read the whole thing. But, a money shot: But conservatism is a diverse movement with many philosophical threads and tensions. Successful conservative politicians such as Ronald Reagan (and George W. Bush in his first term) kept the peace among economic, social and big business conservatives while moderating the movement's public rhetoric. In opp
I probably would have agreed with you on that a few years ago, but: It might come down to usage habits. I really don't have much use for voice recording or handwriting recognition. The feature that made the switch a no brainer for me: the ability to sling notes/images/anything with just hot keys. That and the super karamba theme is pretty pimp as well. FWIW: I'm pretty certain Basket is available

[quote]If this is the future of email, I'm disappointed. Very disappointed.[/quote] I share your beef. I spend more time managing email than I do responding/reading/sending. It's not just that I work for an organization known for an attitude of cc everybody, it's also limitations on server space allotment (10 megs isn't much at all) and limitations on outlooks functionality. I'd love to tell you that a better client would solve all my problems, but it really wo
Oh this is just delicious : BP chief executive Tony Hayward took a day off Saturday to see his 52-foot yacht "Bob" compete in a glitzy race off England's shore, a leisure trip that further infuriated residents of the oil-stained Gulf Coast. Ouch. Ohhh yeah, that one is going to hurt. I know. I know. There's a tiny vocal majority who
Oh god. I just found this: Lulla, you're nuts. Seriously. 'Just discrimination'? 'harmful behavior'? Gay agendas? Absolutely, positively out of your mind bat shit insane. Please go hang out with that person who thinks the Dallas Police Department chipped her head. I'm just kidding. No really. I'm not. [quote]Feel free to post any st
Matt Yglesias: Public Wants More Stimulus talking about the results of a recent gallup poll. Nuts and bolts of the poll: Those surveyed want the gov to spend money to make jobs, tinker with the energy industry to save us from global warming, regulate the shit out of the banking industry and kill Obama care. The quote: Obviously just because the public supports something
If you're a Linux user or you're looking for a good excuse to come over to the darkside, Google CL Tools seems pretty good . Looks like they're supporting quite a few google services already . Actually, it appears to be just a python script, which probably means somebody could either run it on windows or port it to win
I can't say I agree with everything in this piece in the Economist , but it's got a nice edge to it: For several reasons. The vitriol has a xenophobic edge: witness the venomous references to “British Petroleum”, a name BP dropped in 1998 (just as well that it dispensed with the name Anglo-Iranian Oil Company even longer ago). Vilifying BP also gets in the way of identifying othe
[quote]She did not say that. She said we are in danger of an armed revolution based upon congress legislating against the will of the majority. Her "take Reid out" is a stretch for moonbats and lefty loonies as she was clearly saying to defeat him at the polls.[/quote] Wait a second. You're telling me that saying "take him out" in the same breath that she's waxing poetic about the violent over throw of the United States government doesn't even register a red flag
[quote]Perhaps you are talking about the "pundits", not the "little people" like myself.[/quote] Yes. [quote]So does Dr. Walter E. Williams - you know who he is?[/quote] Yes. You're not seriously trying to justify the statements of one loon with the opinions of another, are you?
[quote]IMO email and personal information management is still quite a mess, online or offline.[/quote] You're right about that. Outlook sucks. Thunderbird is better mainly because of extensibility. I can't figure out why, to be honest, email advancement seems to be sort of stunted, save for the cool stuff google has done with gmail (inline youtube previews, view attachment as html, etc.) Yup. I use the google stuff, only because it's t
Come to think of it: Rand Paul says doesn't have to sell shit to black people Rank and File Response: Because Rand is so 'businessy'. Sharon Angle says 'okey dokey lets have that armed revolution now" followed by 'lets take Harry Reid out' Rank and File Response: Ohhhhh she didn't mean 'take him out' like "armed revolution take him out". Anyway, it wouldn't matter even if she did say that, because JEFFERSON
Why? You seem to think there is an all or nothing attitude for those who do not agree with you. But I doubt those who do agree with you, do so (or you with them) 100% of the time. What exactly is there to disagree on here? Look, if you're one supposed small government conservatives, you ought be pretty pissed off about the idea that the government should be drug testing unemployed folks. Let's be honest: It'll cost a s
What an asshole .... Sen. Orrin Hatch, a Utah Republican, proposed yesterday that people seeking unemployment benefits or welfare undergo drug tests before they can receive benefits. "Too many Americans are locked into a life of a dangerous dependency not only on drugs, but the federal assistance that serves to enable their addic
Couldn't make it up if I tried : You know, our Founding Fathers, they put that Second Amendment in there for a good reason and that was for the people to protect themselves against a tyrannical government. And in fact Thomas Jefferson said it's good for a country to have a revolution every 20 years.
