I won't dispute that--I'm no insider to the democratic party. Dean would've gotten a lot of undecideds and young people, though, which IMO would've been good for the Dems in the long run....esp. if they're gearing up for a HIlary run in 2008. Yay conspiracy theories. -A.
Oh, god, here I go. There'll be a black mark next to my name in someone's book after this. I know what's going on here, and as we appear to be keeping names on the DL, I won't give any that haven't been mentioned. This demotion of Muggaz to "visitor" status is stupid. He and the Other Person (OP) just don't get along and he wound up paying for it while she gets off scott free (as far as I know). That's ridiculous. In terms of adding new and in
Word around the bong is the fix is in. They wanted Kerry to lose so Hillary would be unbeatable in 2008. It's the MAN, man... . That's awesome. <TABLE cellpadding=8 width="95%" align=center bgColor=#FFF394 class="mb-Body-Quote-Table
I’d caution you however that if things get too serious for either of you, it’s time to move on. Yeah, I bet this is a real doctor. He looks like a perv. (Oops, judging people on the way they look. Shame on me.) Seedy site, though. If you ever need one, I could hand you a brick. <img src="../im
Um, I'm going to take issue with this one, partly for fun and mostly because I'm serious. 1. Not wanting men in their school doesn't necessarily mean they want women in men's private school. That's a logical fallacy. I'd hazard a guess that if you belong to a single-sex educational institution, you respect others' rights to belong to one as well. 2. There are single-sex colleges and prep schoo
"Desperate Housewives, the new ABC prime-time soap (Sundays, 9 p.m. ET), bites into the shiny red apple of American suburbia and finds a worm inside." --slate.msn.com I clicked on the review for "Desperate Housewives," wondering what their writer thought. At first I encountered that pretty metaphor above, but by the end of the article, I still wasn't sure whe
Personally I've never had this perception. And until JU, I've known very few people in the military--just an uncle who's in Iraq and a couple classmates who joined to get their college paid for--so I'm learning a lot here. Cheers. -A.
I can think of a couple people at whom you might be directing this. At any rate, I generally agree with what you have to say. However, I think you can be a moderate with a slight lean towards a candidate's character, not their party. -A.
I'm happy to give up wearing a bra, especially in the name of, uh, freedom. -A.
WF--Mugz should be able to respond. Sir Pete is at visitor status and can post on his own articles--though this one is posted in the forum, and SPM's was not--maybe that's the difference? I really don't know. I like Mugz--he's a good guy. One of my favorite bloggers. -A.
Dear Sir, Are you reforming your "non-fraternisation" policy, then? -A. Oh, and give my love to Muggaz. I miss that crazy Maxwellian.
While we're at it, could we keep politics out of the NFL, too? Watching the game yesterday and also last Monday, and there were Bush/Cheney and Kerry/Edwards signs in the crowd. Can't we just enjoy a freakin' football game? As for school (er, going back on topic), my history teacher would never tell us whom he voted for. Drove me nuts at the time, since I pretty much venerated him, but I can see why that's a good thing now. The story in questi
Politicians lie? People are arrogant? Really??? Read any top political article's comments and see the people who point fingers and say, "It's the right wing nuts trying to spin things" or "Lefties are liberals" or "George Bush is a liar" or "John Kerry is a cheater" or any variation. What it boils down to is that the accusations made by each side at the other
Is referring to someone numerous times as a "trail lawyer" really effective at putting them in a negative-light? Technically, no. But in my mind, yes. And after having read through Edwards's cases, with two exceptions, I'd simply call him a sleazy lawyer. Would that put him in a negative light? <br
Isn't O'Reilly slated to be on the Daily Show here shortly? I would imagine that Stewart would have fun with this, especially with making O'Reilly squirm for awhile before Stewart gets around to bringing the subject up. I think that's this Thursday. -A.
FUCK YOU AND YOUR SUV Even though you're slammin' it a bit, I think I want that bumper sticker.... Mugz, I still get checked out by guys who seem to think that their noise-polluting big-ass Chevy trucks are the way to pick up chi
"Maybe"!!! That was supposed to say "Maybe," not "Maye." *goes to cut off fingers, as they're evidently useless*
Poi Dog, Have to admit, I hated "Life is Beautiful" because I saw the English-dubbed version. There's nothing to make you physically ill like watching a movie where the lips and sounds don't sync for two hours. It totally ruined the experience for me and I'm not sure I could watch it again now, especially after having seen the end. Amadeus was fantastic. It was rich and sufficiently plausible in terms of the conspiracy theory (Salieri
tongue-in-cheek: Maye we should start a fan club...? -A.
In no particular order: American History X -- hopeful and sad look at racial tensions and what it takes to get out of a cycle Love Actually -- the most un-cheesy, realistic look at love in the romantic comedy genre Big Fish -- only because it mirrors a relationship I have with my own father, so perfectly A River Runs Through It -- is anything more
Imajinit, I agree. And now that they're on separate teams, couldn't they just drop it? And couldn't Shaq just admit that he can't rap, while we're at it? Suspeckted, I get most of my news from the Onion. The post 9/11 coverage was classic--someone even tried to get it nominated for a Pulitzer, I hear. -Area Woman.
Well, it's no JibJab, but it was okay. The Arnie bit was ... weird. Thanks for the link. -A.
I think that's a wise thing, Raven. I have a lot of blogs that are marked private that no one reads. (As a confessed points whore, it grieves me a little that I make 15 points on them, but, ah, screw it.) I guess I agree with you--I think the forums are fair game for feedback and comments, but a person's blog...that's like private property. You tread carefully and respectfully there. I'm glad you showed up here. You make incisive contributions
The IRC would be an appeasement to the major parties in that it would funnel the votes of many third party supporters to the major candidates through second and third place designations, and the media would be highly unlikely to report the preliminary votes, but rather the "final" vote tally, causing the third parties to be furth
Gideon, I think you'd like the IRV system. It's a voting system that lets you prioritize your votes. In this election, I'm afraid the Internet's viability for helping third party candidates has been compromised by the Florida recount. Too many people are afraid that their votes won't count if they're voting third party. I even struggle with that, as I'm in a swing state. Hopefully by the next election, you'll be running for president, and then
