Will The Unemployment Disaster Be Obama's Katrina?
Commented Nov 25, 2009 at 00:08:56 in Politics
“We do what we can by hiring under utilised United States Senators to make a few extra bucks as shills for the health insurance industry. We find that those from the westbank of the Mississippi River are most especially talented in this regard.”
If It Were Me, I'd Be Embarrassed
Commented Nov 23, 2009 at 11:16:49 in Media
“How dare you people bring a rational basis to the reality of that city on the hill that conservatives are trying to establish throughout the American planet. Your damn facts and global warmed over truths will never disuade the true believers. Just remember that fair and balanced means that one right side trumps the others.”
Too Big To Fail - Too Big To Exist
Commented Nov 08, 2009 at 12:51:55 in Business
“When you say that the United States is too big to fail/to big to exist, do you expect a peaceful breakup like the Soviet Union's or another war like we had in 1861-65?”
Dud, Baby, Dud: The Lesson of Doug Hoffman
Commented Nov 04, 2009 at 19:57:44 in New York
“In Virginia and New Jersey (where I am) the election was as much about rotation in office and throwing the rascals out as about Republicants vs. Dimocrats. It's also worth noting that Mr. Christie will have a legislature of the opposite party to deal with. Good luck with that.”
Collision: Is Religion Absurd or Good for the World?
Commented Oct 21, 2009 at 01:21:30 in Living
“Like most things in the world, religion is good for some and not so good for others. Some people need the kind of structure in that universe that their religion creates. And then there are those who think that silly stories show the talent of human imagination and nothing more. So it's not all one thing or all the other. Choose your side and come out firing.”
Chip W replied on Oct 21, 2009 at 02:14:59
“Many people benefit from religion, and there's lots of good stuff in religious teachings.
But there's the matter of belief based on faith. Believing something is true because someone told you, or because you've decided it's true, is bad thinking. That kind of thinking creates a lot of problems.”

Taking Acid Test, Our New Documentary, To Capitol Hill

Israel Diary: Hyper-Alert Security Guards, Hyper-Creative Tech Geeks, and an Upcoming Interview with President Peres
Commented Sep 24, 2009 at 09:37:47 in World
“Q: Will the settlers in the Palestinian Territories be willing to become citizens of Palestine, i.e. Palestinian Jews? 2. Will Israel and Palestine both be willing to give up Jerusalem? How could this intractable problem be solved in any other way than by the separation of the city as an independant entity?”

Commented Sep 17, 2009 at 11:59:55 in Politics
“And I suppose that all 1.5 million will be attending the Dallas Cowboys opener to their new stadium. I can't wait to see the picture of that.”

“You will probably be seeing that picture the next time the tea party gang has a get-together in a football stadium.”
As Obama Pushes Change, GOP Bets on Restoration
Commented Sep 10, 2009 at 10:29:39 in Politics
“Time was when Representatives from South Carolina had the good graces to not attend Congress when the opposition elected the nation's President (1860). Of course that was much better than Mr. Wilson's predecessor who took his gutta percha-cane and beat a U.S. Senator from Massachusetts senseless.”
O'Reilly, Beck, Olbermann and Maddow: Venomous Snakes?
Commented Sep 08, 2009 at 17:43:56 in Media
“Must be that Charles Warner is an expert on venomous snakes from his experience as one. O'Reilly is really a comedian pulling fictional facts out of his behind and Beck is a simple bull goose looney who seems to have escaped from one of this country's finer institutions for the treatment of mental breakdowns. Olbermann and Maddow as far as I can tell are digging up true facts which only seem venomous to those who spend most of their time poisoning the American airwaves with lies and calumnies.”
The 3 Lost Lessons of Healthcare History: Will Obama Re-Learn Them in Time?
Commented Sep 07, 2009 at 20:47:56 in Politics
“We should demand a single payer system for Democrats and let the Republicans keep their overpriced private insurance policies. That's a compromise I could support.”
The Lies of Texas Are Upon You
Commented Sep 06, 2009 at 16:33:14 in Politics
“If that Obama fella was any damn good at Presidenting he would make it rain in South Texas, wouldn't he? It's not as if the locals want their kids to be lazy, skip school, get a bad education, and plow through life ignorant and foolish. Or do they? If only they would restrict the bearing of arms to those specified in the Holy Bible.”
The Myth of the Black Swan
Commented Aug 28, 2009 at 00:17:06 in Business
“If I go out and spend all my money before the end of the year the recession will be over. If I hold some back and keep it in the banks then the recovery will stop short and a new recession will begin. That's all there is to it.”

Why the Gang of Six Is Deciding Health Care for Three Hundred Million of Us
Commented Aug 24, 2009 at 14:21:09 in Politics
“Of course Americans couldn't posibly be "ignorant" or "nut jobs". What they can be is "poopy brains". You know how that works--garbage in/garbage out.”

“Dakota should NEVER have been divided. One state with four Senators is just plain WRONG.”
Palaver replied on Aug 24, 2009 at 14:30:35
“They should divide the Democratic party. They obviously don't want to rule as a party. Maybe it'll finally give the public some "real options" in the next election.”
PNOGUY replied on Aug 24, 2009 at 14:28:14
“Maybe we should also get rid of those annoying teeny states in the NE that always vote blue.”
oldngrumpy replied on Aug 24, 2009 at 14:24:29
“You could just as easily throw Nebraska, Montana, and Wyoming into that to make it reasonably equitable to higher population states. I think that the pure economics of government will soon force us to re-evaluate the artificial boundaries that divide us even where political priorities are shared. This will likely begin within the states as counties are consolidated to eliminate useless redundancy.”

Crazy Wingnut Healthcare Attacks Exposed
Commented Jul 24, 2009 at 10:22:38 in Politics
“It's about the transfer of wealth. The more people who go into the public option, the more money that eludes the pockets of those who run the private insurance companies (and their stockholders) ane reverts to the pockets of the customers of the national health insurance group; i.e. the commonwealth. This idea gives the Republicans conipptions. Middle-class and poor people keeping more of their own money? That's what tax cuts pretend to do. Not in the GOP lexicon.”
