There was always that comparison to the Simpsons... but when I watch the Family Guy, I can't believe some of the jokes they got away with on it. I can't wait for it to come back... and to see the movie too....
I was asked to write a few articles for a magazine that was restarting in my area... with a decent pay check at publication clause... well, seems they didn't sell enough ads, and they folded right after the last deadline. That hurt. Trust me, I feel your publishing pain. I know all about the slips and the boilerplate responses... they suck. I still remember the first time I got a hand-written rejection... and its sad that getting a hand-wr
An interesting earlier counter-argument article about the media, which demonstrates how a slightly conservative stance by the major media outlets is safer for them: Here it is.
An argument could also be made that making adultery illegal might make it more attractive to some people, not less. Some people like to live dangerously, and adding a criminal aspect to it... well, the thought of not only getting away with it without their spouse knowing, but without the law knowing would make it an irresistable adrenaline rush. True, such a hypothetical measure would perhaps stop casual and opportunistic adultery, its true,
I have to admit that my exposure to Bill O'Reilly has been limited... but not by choice. I never said he was far right... I was dealing with perception on the left about him, not the reality. I will admit he was fresh on my mind after seeing him on the Tim Russert show on Saturday, and he did say some things that surprised me, so I know that he is on some level reasonable. Then he blew up and got a bit petty. He's not just loud... he's seems to be a bi
The "left" on the list are more for people on the right... as the choices are very polarizing. And I chose more than a few entertainers because of just how many entertainers have ended up going into politics(especially on the right given recent political history). And Michael Moore... well, we know what kind of reaction his name gets here. Hilary was a given on the list based on the very division she presents. Don, who would you say are some
This article was part of the reason I actually started my blog because it demystified a lot of things about the community for me.
Let's just say this... I am a lot more comfortable with Bush than I would be with someone like Jerry Falwell or Pat Robertson and Michael Moore or Bush might be a tossup....
About last summer, me and a couple of my friends were sitting around drinking at a bbq and we started playing this stupid game from LiquidGeneration called Who Would You Rather . As the night wore on, it became a rapid fire game, where you had to answer right away. It was stupid and juvenile, I'll admit, but in th
More articles will be forthcoming.
In talking about the new total-gaming.net site, the Wargamer mentions this article. http://www.wargamer.com/articles/behind_the_lines_20/page2.asp
The weirdest thing I heard about this whole thing was she is up for more prison time for that sexual relationship with her superior officer(22 years) than for the abuse.(15 years).
If electronic voting becomes the norm, I'd like to see a double system where you vote, and it gives you a paper print out, which you then stick in a ballot box... so if something happened, you still have something that you can count to determine the winner...
I just saw Political Machine on CNN a few minutes ago.
Don't forget Coulter....
Well, it would have to be a pretty big migration equal the Reagan Democrat movement.
But at the same time, I think the left is more apt to attack its own too.
I was always under the impression(perhaps wrongly) that the conservative side has always been a bit more tightly-knit than the left is...
The Flame Warriors page... basically a description of most of the common types of people who fight on forums. Link
I think statistically speaking, you might be less likely to get a nutjob on a smaller forum... and when you do... you know it almost immediately.
There are a lot of times I start writing a comment... and I stop because "its just not worth it" because I can foresee the whole argument, and I know that I am going to get a lot more pissed off... so I refrain a lot of times.
Oh, everytime you think you've seen the worst from company copy-protections, they find a new way to mess with consumers.... StarForce... one of the most hideous and insideous copy-protection schemes I've ever seen! http://www.dslreports.com/shownews/48427 I mean, they are putting this thing on DEMOS! And from the indications I am getting, those who are getting messed up systems from the scheme are basically being told "to ge
The late 80's... you mean when it was under Lynn Cheney's guard?
Of all the major ways to look at international politics, realism is generally the most accurate view to have.
Tell that to the Philipines...
