Commented on Civil Rights Vs. Tea Parties: A Comparative Analysis

Funny story of the day: Republicans (and conservative Dems) have fought hard to make sure no one getting subsidized healthcare has coverage for an abortion. But the RNC gives its staff health insurance, with abortion coverage: http://news.yahoo.com/s/politico/29456...

Commented on Verdict! Runner Is a She. And a He

When she was born, doctor's took one look and said "she's a girl". Only later exams revealed that she lacked a womb and ovaries, and has testes. So she must have grown up believing she is a girl, and wasn't...

Commented on Holiday Caption Competition

"I gotta feeling that tonight's gonna be a good night". BEP...

Commented on Google Just Killed E-Mail

Very Cool Stuff!...

Commented on Monitor Crazy

Those are some sweeeeet monitors! Add to the list of things I will buy when I become a millionaire....

Commented on This just in...Arlen Specter switches sides.

Gee Dave, if you are so keen to get rid of Specter, maybe you will also send us Olympia Snowe and Susan Collins. These moderate repubs (or RINOs as they are affectionately known by conservatives) are so out of place...

Commented on Why Everyone Likes Stephen Colbert

Colbert is a direct parody of Bill O'Reilly, all the way down to facial expressions. But like any good comedian/faux news anchor, he will ridicule anything that is funny in the news. The fact some conservatives like him is not...

Commented on Shepard Smith Spews Anger, F-Bomb

"Where are the cynics today? WTF. Makin me nervous." Good point E. Why are we talking about torture when there is a pandemic flu killing pigs in Mexico? 60 people have died already. No more bacon?...

Commented on Shepard Smith Spews Anger, F-Bomb

Khalid sheik Mohammad is not the victim here. We are. Especially as we now learn that the purpose of the extreme torture was to create a link between Al Qaeda and Iraq (see this recent McClatchy story: http://www.mcclatchydc.com/227/story/66622.html ) So...

Commented on Shepard Smith Spews Anger, F-Bomb

An important side question is on whether to prosecute Bush admin officials. Of course you cannot criminalize policy differences or prosecute people with different opinions. The central question is, did the OLC lawyers act in bad faith? In other words,...

Commented on Shepard Smith Spews Anger, F-Bomb

Dave, Thanks for your points. The Comment thread does not really provide facilities for sourcing facts but I should have provided more sources. So here they are: FBI and military opposed to torture: http://tinyurl.com/dnxl7j or just Google it Most detainees...

Commented on Shepard Smith Spews Anger, F-Bomb

On torture I say "Not in my name". Period. But there are a couple of facts that make the Bush administrations torture more pernicious. First is that most people captured and tortured were innocent. Some estimates are that as many...

Commented on A Racist Cartoon? You Make the Call

To "VikingBerserker": I'm not claiming that this is MY interpretation. I'm just saying that the editors of the New York Post published this cartoon knowing that some people, no MANY people, would have this interpretation (including their own employees and...

Commented on A Racist Cartoon? You Make the Call

Regardless of the intentions of the cartoonist, the cartoon brushes against two taboos in American culture: (1) black people as apes, and (2) dead presidents. I'm sure the editors of the New York Post had a discussion about these two...

Commented on A Racist Cartoon? You Make the Call

One measure of the "inappropriateness" of the cartoon, is the fact that many employees of the New York Post, including some of the editors, are unhappy about it: http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2009/02/19/new-york-post-employees-u_n_168267.html...

Commented on Babies Having Babies

Hold on just a minute. Some other kids (14 and 16) are claiming fatherhood. We may need an Anna Nicole Smith style court case, or a good dodge ball competition to sort this mess out. http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/uknews/4637339/Schoolboy-father-Alfie-Patten-distraught-at-claims-Maisie-not-his.html...

Commented on Trillion Is the New Billion

If trillion is the new billion, can I have a million?...

Commented on Help Bush Pack

I blame Angela Merkel (Germany Chief). She should have pressed sexual harassment charges when he gave her the unwanted backrub. Violating the constitution may not bring down a President, but violating a woman sure will....

Commented on Profiting from War

Can't you see the future progression of assignments for Joe the Plumber: -- Joe will visit the North Pole to prove that it is, in fact, not melting. -- Then Joe will visit Togo to explain why things were better...

Truth B Told commented on Civil Rights Vs. Tea Parties: A Comparative Analysis

This is one of the most offensive posts I have ever seen on YbNbY. It may shock some posters on this blog to know that like the voting public at large, 50% of YbNbY's readers are Conservatives. Insulting half of your readership is just plain stupid....

Dr. Zhivago commented on Civil Rights Vs. Tea Parties: A Comparative Analysis

Wow, I love it that there are so many people offended by this! I find it funny that corporations are so good at manipulating people that large numbers of them actually think that the Tea Baggers are a real grass roots movement and not the creation of powerful corporations in order to avoid a loss of profits. If the Tea Baggers were real, why weren’t they pissed about wasting billions and billions of our dollars a month on pointless wars in the Middle East? If they were real, why didn’t they care about blowing billions of our dollars to prop...
