*Disclaimer : I do not support any candidates as of yet nor does Barack Obama's politics come anywhere near my own. /rant on So Barack Obama apparently attended a Madrassa in Indonesia for a few years as a young child . I could give a damn. Here is why: - The guy verifiably went back to live with his maternal grand
then no proof is required because you're speaking your OWN opinion, and no one else's. And therein lies the problem... Oftentimes blog assume their opinion is everyone elses and then state it as "fact".
So I suppose this would be a bad time to ask when we should expect to see JU Premium launch?
60% of Americans say ham is evil! So why does this administration continue to support the use of ham in schools! Sound outrageous? Of course it does. It is an outrageous claim. If I actually expected you to believe this it would be reasonable to ask me for a link to the source of my claim. If you asked for proof of it and I couldn't provide it you would be justified in assuming that I was full of shit. &n
this is how it starts,,,then expect every piece of evidence to be "lawyered" as if we were in criminal court. When you say "most of Americans" it isn't unreasonable to ask for a bit of supporting evidence (even jus a shitty newspaper poll). Of course if you have no evidence it seems like a much bigger deal. Colgene is a hack who can't b
but in fact it bore absolutely no relevance to my enquiry, was entirely deceptive and led me into a downward spiral of depravity that only a deviant mind would happily frequent. This has nothing to do with google and everything to do with meta-tagging for specific searches. Health problems are often targetted because they are specific and it is v
If the people being marketed to have any interest whatsoever in the person doing the marketing, the jig is up. Exactly why there is nothing to fear from campaigns trying this sort of this. It only helps them if they can get a significant number of people to care, and if significant numbers of people care then the fraud is auto-exposed, ergo no ne
I disagree.. even if a capaign pays 1000 people to wrtie 100 "fake blogs" a day on random blogsites it is unlikely that most of those will even get a single page hit. Even if they use blgo promoters the hits they get aren't quality activist type hits. heck half of the stuff you get from BE are click-bots and the other half tend to be people who dont read anything on BE at all. Ditto for the other click traders. Yes you can put out boilerplate party line crap on a few thousand unread b
an ironic, but hilarious form of cancer I had you figured for a terminal brain tumor years ago.
It doesn't take much effort for a campaign or pac to sit down a few volunteers who create blogs under fake names and post the same old campaign advertising disguised as a blog. It takes a shitload of effort to get these blogs any readership though. thats the bit that matters. Try as hard as you like, you won't be Kos, Instapundit, Powerline, or
The link did lead to the defeat of that secion as you guessed. it was from Instpundit and his link likely crashed the senate swerver. Additionally the bill actually only would have required action if a blogger was A. retained by an outside agency as a paid advocate AND B. urged people to cantact members of congress exlicitly AND C. Either received or spent in excess of $25,000 in the course of the atcual urging (not just blogging) If ANY of
I always get a chuckle from those...
Not a problem anymore : it is gone .
Democrats think global warming is more of a danger than Iran. Al "Oscar me" Gore certainly thinks so.
The region is already burning, it is "not bad" to add another flaming spot there? Heck no if the "falsh point" ends up as a island of progress in an ocean of regression around it. Israel is a stunning success compared to it's very backward neighbors. Add in the fact that it has only been up and runnign for 50 years compared to literally thousand
I don't understand why the U.S. even bothers with the U.N. and it's toothless appeasement branches like the IAEA anymore . (from Yahoo News) El Baradei (Head Eunuch of the IAEA) - "I don't think sanctions will resolve the issue. I think sanctions, in my view, could lead to escalation on both sides," Needless to say he also opposes militar

I find that those who really believe that rules are ment to be broken, and do so consistently, fly under the radar of punishment for a long time I usually also find that these people tend to break rules they have found to be breakable and tend to do so only when such breakage will be noticed by people they want to impress. In u
Another Israel-type nation in the Middle East would be a bad thing? How?
Do you know anyone who has used that pretty much exclusively? No, but I do know several people who have been very sucessful with self study alone for both Arabic and Farsi. Frankly linguistic ability seemss to matter a lot more than curriculum. If you have the gift for languages you will likely do well with any approach and if you don't have the gi

It always seems to work and that never ceases to amaze me. It is especially effective from people seen as an expert in a field. I am not terribly assertive unless we are in a SIGINT discussion, in that situation people rarely even challenge me simply because I sound like there is no question that I know exactly what I am talking about (even wh
This is a bit of old news but I keep seeing the Milgram shock study popping up in places like Slashdot, the Cato Institute blog, etc as though it was new and/or a surprising result. For those who don't know here is a summary: Milgram's study placed a test subject (you) into a situation where they were instructed by an authority figure to administer electric sh
Nothing helps lower your stress quite like a steady paycheck:)
Al Misri loves company.............. God that is horrible.
Seemed pretty handy, and I guess it would be a lot more objective than the human alternative. They have been working on techno alternatives like this for years but i have never seen one do well with any range of audio unless it had been trained to that speaker extensively. Text translators have come a long way but often in Arabic (where vowels
Fan-boys of anything don't react well to any critique no matter how tactful. I am unsurprised by their reactions...
