You're ineducable. Of course she had unfavorable ratings to some extent.The Repugs had 50 years to drum it up.

What, now the Republicans have a time machine?

Get back under your bridge, troll.

He's down by 10 points now in Michigan. Looks like voters have finally realized how badly McSame's party f'ed up over the past decade or so. I guess it's curtains for The Party That Wrecked America. Maybe they'll just fold up and die, like the Whigs did.

The Democrats aren't much better, but they still have at least a few representatives who'll speak the truth when pressed. If you haven't seen this video yet, you need to. Everybody needs to - Ohio Rep. Marcy Kaptur:

Let's Play Wall Street Bailout!

Check out Rep. Marcy Kaptur on the floor of the House the other day. She gave this idiotic blank check bailout both barrels:

Farrakhan is quite probably the most dangerous man in America

Yeah, I know I spend hours at night lying awake worrying about what Farrakhan's gonna do next. Is he gonna make millions of fraudulent loans and sell them off to investors, leading to a massive stock market crash and the collapse of our banking system? Oh, no, wait a minute - that would be all of those right wing Republican Wall Street crooks, Bernanke and Paulson's buddies. Hmmm.

Well, maybe Farrakhan'll botch infrastructure repair or disaster recovery efforts, leading to the deaths of thousands of Americans. Oh, no, wait a minute - that would be incompetent Republicans like Heckuvajob Browine leaving New Orleans flooded and unsupported for days while citizens died by the dozen each hour.

I'll bet Farrakhan's gonna bankrupt the Federal government and leave the taxpayers trillions in debt to the (not so) communist Chinese, by starting an illegal war on the other side of the globe. Oh, no, wait a minute - that would be the Republicans under Bush, starting a war on false pretenses in Iraq.

Well, I'm sure Farrakhan's the most dangerous man in America for some other reason. Maybe he's being cornholed by gay prostitutes while tweaking on crystal meth. Oh, no, wait a minute - that was George Bush's spiritual adviser, rightwing family-values Christian bigwig Ted Haggard.

I've got it! I'll bet Farrakhan's gonna hijack the Genesis Device, launch a sneak attack on the Enterprise and get Spock killed trying to save the ship. Oh, no, wait a minute - that was Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan.

Hmmm, looks to me like Farrakhan's probably not the most dangerous man in America after all. Whoda thunk it? I think the most dangerous men in America are ignorant deluded nitwits such as yourself.

Outside of the pro space, Firewire is a dead standard. And the MacBook isn't a pro piece of hardware - it's Apple's consumer laptop. The only devices which NEED Firewire are high-end audio and video editing gadgets. Everything else USB 2.0 can handle, albeit sometimes more slowly than Firewire (although as CPU's have gotten faster, so has USB 2.0).

And if you really need high-speed performance, like for an external hard drive, eSATA blows both Firewire and USB 2.0 out of the water, offering 300MB/s transfer speeds, vs. less than 100MB/s for even the faster Firewire 800.

The real reason why Firewire's days are numbered though is because USB 3.0 is just around the corner. It's backwards-compatible with older USB devices, but allows transfer rates up to 4.8Gbit/s (a whopping 600MB a second), and also supports an optional optical interconnect.

Firewire was a great standard, and it's a pity it never took off the way it should have. USB probably should have been reserved for keyboards and mice, with Firewire being used for drives, scanners, printers or anything else which required more performance. But Intel was hostile to the standard - I've had Firewire interfaces on my last three PC's, and they NEVER worked right - and Apple's screwball decision to charge a licensing fee certainly didn't help increase adoption of the standard. Like Betamax, Firewire was a technically-superior standard done in by boneheaded decisions made by its corporate parent.

Call them Freedom Flies, Sarah!

I'm sure all of those fruit flies are the result of spells being cast by witches. Just get rid of the witches, and the fruit flies will vanish, don't cha know.

More like Double Talk Express.

Or, lately, Trash Talk Express.

Maybe we wouldn't have pissed away a couple of trillion dollars fucking around in Iraq. I don't know if forgiveness is good for your soul, but it certainly would have been better for our pocketbooks.

And since we still haven't managed to catch Osama or shut Al-Qaeda down, forgiveness would have been no less effective at achieving our ends than vengeance proved to be.

We have chosen to fight the hard way because even a low probability of creating another Japan makes even a couple of trillion a worthwhile expenditure.

Except we haven't fought the right target. Had the Bush Administration decided to go after Saudi Arabia in the wake of 9/11 - instead of kissing Saudi ass - at least they would have been going after the #1 financier of Islamic nutbaggery in the world. Of course, I'd expect a lot of blowback from any attack on the Saudis, but at least they were a quasi-legitimate target.

Iraq? That was like attacking New Zealand in retaliation for Pearl Harbor.
