But to the 'sport' not so much. It's entertainment. If the corporate body that owns the sport sees fit to tweak it to the extent that the fans get to see some extra bball then so what? It's not as if lives depend on it (well maybe if you owe Big Angelo 10 large it does). People take this crap too seriously. Guess what, Batman's not a real person either.

Only those points of view which hew to the official orthodoxy can be allowed. Everyone else is a traitorous liar who must be hunted down and silenced.

I don't worry about it that much either way. And neither would you unless Glenn banged it into your head nearly every day either. Face facts people if Glenn told you rob a drugstore you'd do it.

Couldn't give them away. I should charge $110 for them.

So mission accomplished there.

Splinter splinter splinter. Toss out the baby, the bathwater, the stove that heated the water, the doctor who delivered the baby.

I am really ok with that.

Look party solidarity isn't a bad thing. Otherwise there would be no need for a convention. Let the disgruntled pull together. That's not a problem if Glenn wants to flip flop for electoral expediency.

No the problem is that the same people who were calling Obama the messiah and heaping scorn on all who questioned them, are now calling for a wider scope of control over everything they personally disagree with. And they're in a position to impose their undemocratic will on everyone else.

As always, the Dems are too craven to butt heads with anyone but their own members. Would that they went after the GOP with this fervor, there wouldn't have ever been a need to question the legitimacy of the very members in Congress who overwhelmingly allowed this administration to bend them over the pool table and have their way. But no, the radical elements of the Democratic party will once again unilaterally declare themselves the winners, punish all their peers and march together off a cliff giving the GOP yet another shot in two years to take control again.

It's about politics not ideological purity. Glenn gets it 100% wrong. If the Dems had the balls to stand for anything, anything at all, it doesn't even matter what, and THEN followed through to expedite that instead of pissing and moaning that the big bad world is unfair and they're gonna take their ball and go home then we wouldn't have come to this point. Instead, Glenn and his minions spend their day hurling bad puns and insults at the 2% of the people who dare question them. Because WE'RE the threat. We're the danger. Uh ok.

Thanks, rates have gone up 30% in the last 4 years and instate enrollment is dropping fast. Your plan for America is stunning in its brilliance. There's nothing like a liberal mindset to ensure that the only people who benefit from being in the US are those people here illegally.

Good plan.

Murder the infidels. You win.

I bet I just bet though you'll be the first people whining and pouting that not all the ex Democrats are happily being dragged along with you. You already have a ready made bunch of scapegoats to blame when or if you lose.

Of course spending all your time calling me quote "A fucking moron" unquote is I'm sure the next best thing to actually winning. Let me know how being 14 years old works out for you.

I hope Obama brings back Gus Hall from the dead and runs him.

And homeowner property taxes are way way down as a result. Local government will have two choices: raise taxes 20% or cutting services to the bone. Typically some of both will occur.

Luckily, as I have been publically obscenely yelled at for this before, our legal illegal alien population continues to grow so my school system already 2 billion dollars in debt, will see massive funding cuts and a big explosion in population. That will be wonderful. Salon's dusky freedom fighters who don't pay taxes to send their children to school just in time for the budgets to fall apart. I guess the fine radicals of salon will be happy to send me several thousand dollars the tax increase will cost.

Oh you mean they won't? Go figure. Lying poser blogger fucks.

Then GM would not be angling to sell the Hummer division. Obviously there is no horde of Asians clamoring to buy them all. There is on the other hand, a constant market for luxury items in corrupt countries.

They're dangerous bastards.

We are changing the whole world.

Jesus god, you're precious. Blogging is you and your 12 friends chatting up each other about how great you are. Even St. Glenn Mao von Greenwald and his minions of weed addled antisemites are really just the same 5 dozen people who go to his book signings.

I spoke to a real live Obama campaign volunteer today, a young man, not entirely attractive but very polite and earnest who was going door to door asking for donations. I'd take one of him vs 10000 blaawgurrs any day.

Romney is doing his part for the GOP not for himself not for McCain. You really don't have a good eye for what drives people.

I've rarely heard such a snarling pile garbage about childrens' books based on some idiot psychosexual post modern political blogging crap. It's a childrens' book. If children like it then why don't you shut the fuck up?

We need to have the Salon Games. Only liked minded earth, pet, whale, brown people friendly people will be included. The smug may choke us, but those are the breaks.

1960 - Rome, horrid pollution. The marathon was run on broken cobblestones

1968 - Mexico City. High altitude lead to sickness and some extraordinary results

1972 - Munich. If murder were an Olympic event the Arabs would take the gold

1996 - Atlanta. Ever been to Atlanta in the Summer?
