Product Placement Banned in U.K.
You're pretending to shoot people in the face. How is this experience ruined by the presence of an ad that you routinely and easily ignore? Or, better yet, how is this worse than the fake ad that would be there if not for product placement? I'm asking.
Really?
I paid for the game. I didn't pay to be hustled. I paid to pretend to shoot fictional people in the face in an attempt to sublimate my desire to shoot advertisers in the face.... [more]

Oh look, we have created enchantment.
One crucial point is being overlooked here:
Adam Sandler is a motherfucking hack no-talent nunshitting unfunny skidmark of an alleged human being. When Rob Schneider's reason for being on this Earth is solely to make you look talented by comparison, you have to ask yourself some hard questions. Sandler apparently hasn't done that. If I had my way, I'd cast him as the host of that "Kick-me-in-the-balls!" teevee show from Idiocracy, giving... [more]

The Personal Use of Marijuana by Responsible Adults Act of 2008
With all of our current financial problems it only makes sense. Stop overburdening our prison system with minor drug offenses. Collect taxes on it.
It'll happen when we run out of money, but not before. I think of it as (paraphrasing Churchhill here) "doing the right thing after all the other possibilities have been exhausted."

Uribe had the sense to shitcan Mark Penn in a second. However, he still has a job with Hillary. Stuff like that is what makes people shake their heads when they watch her campaign.

You're probably right about the pupils, but I've watched people drop and liquor up, and you can talk some of those people into damn near anything.

It's time we moved to a different system where houses cost whatever you feel like paying charging any given month.

Don't double post. After you've found a site
you want to feature on the front page, first go to the POST A LINK page
on Metafilter, and enter in the url of the site. Leave off everything
but the domain name -- no "http," no "www" and no directory or html
file information. Press "Preview." If it's been posted before, even as
a secondary link on someone else's post, it should pop up... [more]

This is agreeing? It looked like childish foot-stamping to me. Of course, when you disagree with someone you're free to call them a "dick" for quoting their very own words on the selfsame subject to them, right?
Regardless of whether or not it's a double, you certainly failed to live up to your own published advice by not linking to the prior FPP. You want a point, there it is.
And why on earth would Mr. "I'm dropping my... [more]

The Gaza Bombshell
Perhaps it has to do with the fact that we import more oil from Canada than anywhere else. Riding our coattails can't be more costly to us than George's Excellent Iraqi Adventure, can it?
Before we hit Iraq, oil was $36/bl. Where is it now?

Jesus, get Cheney the fuck away from there. He's liable to goad Uribe into a Tonkin-style "he hit me first!" escalation. Chavez is being a moron by leaving that opening.
You can quote Ann Coulter or you can quote Noam Chomsky, it's all the same fucking thing
Not a close reader of Chomsky, but I thought his basic point is that we do war because it's easier for the US to outgun someone than it is for us... [more]

It's too bad her followers then decided to also ruin politics and the Internet.
Why just this year they terrorized the nation with a scary blimp and chased poor old Sean Hannity through the streets of New Hampshire.

That About Wraps It Up For Science
Given the primacy of peanut butter in God's plan, it is most ironic that it is the very substance that persuades the stray dogs in my neighborhood to lick my balls when no one's watching. Then again, though, they do say He works in mysterious ways.

and sign a constitutional amendment that restores the balance of power,
No.
This gives a sliver of credibility to the view that these jackal-breathed motherfuckers have somehow found a two hundred and something year-old loophole in our founding document no one had spotted before.
They didn't look for loopholes in the Constitution - they wiped their distended red hairy baboon assholes with it. We... [more]

"It is a profile of the Public Relations company working for Blackwater and who the executive managing the account is. The company is Burstein Marstellar. The account executive is formerly of State Department Public Affairs where he was transferred after he finished his stint with guess what? The CPA in Iraq bit off the head of a sleeping infant and swallowed it whole."
