Regardless of how allowing felons to vote after returning to society may have effected the outcome if the 2000 election, it is proposterous to suggest that GW would ever actually be made commisioner of baseball. When has he ever demonstrated the diplomatic skill, or moral authority required for such an important position?

Portland OR is for the Tragically Unhip what Florida is to aging northerners. Here you can transform from a Tragically Unhip Brooklyn Duck into a Dork Chic Swan. Come on in. The water's ... well... kind of chilly actually.

I don't know. Maybe some member of the team had great grandmother who was raped by her owner or something, and getting called a whore by a rich white man stirred up a few centuries worth of pissed off.

I have a day job. I'm a musician. Big fucking deal! If you have to write an advice columnist for permission to play music then you probably don't deserve to play music... even in your soundproofed basement, with doors locked. You need to face up to the fact that the mindless robots that you work with are just better and more couragous people than you are. Once you have realized that you may then write Cary again to ask for permission to play music, but only in your soundproofed basement, with the doors locked.

I thought Jeff Gannon already got booted from the press corp.

from what I can see in the grocery line rags, and on MTV when I tarry there for a moment (like the show about coming out parties for rich kids), I get a strong impression that many of the children of the super rich are selfish pigs. So what that Alec Baldwin said it out loud?

An upset for the ages is when both teams play their best and the underdog triumphs by 1 point in triple overtime. The Mavs got their asses whipped. I call that a belly flop. (And I'm a belly flop expert having been a life long Blazer fan.)

Now seems like a good time to take stock when the Executive branch is involved in a conspiracy to undermine the constitution, the rule of law, the very foundations of democratic society, and no one gets punished. Most of the current cast of criminals that are a part of the current fiasco all earned their wings in the Nixon administration including Karl Rove who was an intern. If there is no punishment for trying to undermine multi pary democracy then why not try again?

Don't you know that the most important sporting event in the history of all sporting events was the Oregon State Beavers repeat victory in the College Baseball World Series????

Andrew- care to take a crack at why security costs are never included in "grid parity" calculations? Aren't they subsidies too? I've always wondered what would happen if we all got a huge income tax reduction, and instead you had to pay your share of the Pentagon budget at the pump.

"The self-made senator, who graduated from the University of Delaware with a C average, can only triumph if experience ends up mattering more than excitement."

Oh- and if saying things that make him sound like an idiot count. Or if the "Apoo" voting block gets all hot for Biden. Or maybe all those well groomed african american voters get on the Biden train to freedom. If experience is all one needs to be a good President then I'd vote for Hugh Heffner over Biden.

Of all the boats lost at sea that this particular boat did not sink.

Where I work (and with Social Security Benefits 3.1%) 3.5% is considered a Cost of Living increase, not technically a pay raise. The bastards.

Why not just get it all on the table? Next debate we can all get a close look at Hillary's rack. Followed of course by a close examination, measurement,and weighing of all of the prospective presidential penis'(peni?).

Not only did Pollack get a segment on Talk of the Nation to promote the new and improved Iraq, but The World opened with the lead in "A war critic has some good news about Iraq". War critic? Nicely done jerk wads.

I got my 15 pixels of fame on Glenn Greenwalds blog!!! Ha! I'm a dork. So what.

Hillary will be attending the breakout session after all.

If Padilla is convictable for helping, associating with, communicating with people who committed murder under the auspices of a shadowy, loosely connected organization, then shouldn't all militia members here in the states be brought to justice because Timothy McVeigh bombed the federal building in OKC?

And he's blind.

Dems stand for universal healthcare, and end to imperial wars, restoration of the constitution, sane environmental policy, and the right of working people everywhere to eat. I know that and I'm not even a freaking thinktank superstar or pompous pundit.

(How America Was Left Wanting More)

that after 91 comments someone would have already hit on "codpiece conservatives".

Leo-

I believe it was Superman flying faster than the speed of light (orbiting the earth) that allowed him to turn back his (and earths) clock long enough for him to save Lois. Regardless of the the scientific veracity of the metaphor (or Superman 2) holding alliterations up to scientific scrutiny is pretty party pooperish. Our lives advance day by day. The world rotates once and we are one day older. Hence the sense that turning back the clock also sends the world spinning backward. Not true? So what!

As always NPR is doing its part. This morning Tom Bowman reported that even skeptics like Michael O'Hanlon are being won over by Petraeus. Welcome to National Pravda Radio.

must have used Bumillers notes to write their report on the hearings that aired this morning.

Reagan was free of such dishonest and vicious politics.

Anne had a hilarious take on the 6 men piling on spin. Hillary did a remarkable job considering that most of her positions are indefensible.
