Is Richardson relevant? I guess as much as anyone. But he's just another ex candidate who no one paid any attention to when he ran.

I don't know. You could ask the Iranians why they churn out so much insane agitprop as well. I guess it's a sop to their own middle class of blogerati fools. It's no different than all of the Cold War era cannibal king tinpot Marxist dictators screaming about People's Revolutionary This or Running Dog Lackey That.

Maybe paranoia is comforting to you. I know why I get pulled off the line. I check all bags and I travel on multiple one way tickets. Plus TSA trailertrash just love to reach into my jeans and cup my balls to 'check' for something.

Just prattle on about the inevitable war with the Martians. I'm sure that will happen eventually.

In case it wasn't red meat enough for the loons like Gordon Wagner and aVulcan.

In areas like leverage and reserve requirements.

There. We can all go home now. Unless Gordon Wagner wants to blame the Jews.

Syria, The Caucuses, Lebanon, the Islamic states of the FSU. Also Iran biggest endeavors now are in both Central/south Africa including Namibia, South Africa and Zimbabwe and Angola but Iran's biggest 'foreign development programs' now are in Central America and South America.

Pick up a book and read it once in a while.

Laughter is frowned upon and shall be corrected. Up The Revolution.

Ok, so is he a major stockholder of Salon's?

Is secession ALWAYS the preferable mode of action for everyone everywhere at all times? I've never seen a secessionist movement Salon couldn't find good in. Is it that you just think that the people who wear their hats cocked to the left should be allowed a whole country on their own to keep out the people who cock their hats to the right? Or is it something that just itches to see people kill one another for reasons that are too obscure for anyone but them to gather?

Kills itself. That's really the sense I get from many of you, that human life is an infection on the earth, a plague that must be exterminated. Now I'm probably a few years older than most of you so I don't really care what you do to exterminate the world after I'm gone, but just wait until I'm dead before you kick off that revolution, thanks.

That whole I'm too cool to talk to you thing might not fly there.

I'm more of a Juliette Binoche man, myself. You can never be too fem, for me.

Are you telling a joke? That was the most over the top thing I've heard this week. You sound like you've been to Jim Jones Kool Aid Compound.

Is that you're all so prostrate with guilt, so over the top with your demands for American suicide, that you're not in a position to change the political conditions anywhere. When I start hearing things like "atonement" I have to wonder if you'd be happier in another venue, like religion or a cult.

Have accomplished squat. You've wasted the last 5 years sucking on an internet pacifier angrily typing to your 9 friends the same insipid nonsense back and forth. Yeah yeah America is the worst nation in the history of the planet. Everyone over 50, white and Protestant should be shot like dogs in the street. Right right. Was there anything else? In the meantime you've staked out an utterly apolitical uncompromising position and a 100% take it or leave it attitude. And then you wonder why your darlings like Cindy Sheehan, fall for their own press, embrace dictators and no one takes any of you seriously. A good rule of thumb now is, if Salon says "X", go 180 degrees the other way. Your odds of success are much higher.

I'll probably get banned again for that one. You can say a lot of shit here, but failure to take the Radicals as insufferably self important as they do, is a recipe for censorship.

I hope that wasn't you. That was possibly the most tedious thing I have ever wasted a few minutes of my life on (& I couldn't get through more than half of it).

Let me ask you something. Why on earth would you possibly expend one erg of effort worrying about some nonsense bullshit 'award' anyway? Is anyone's life that shallow? As far as I'm concerned, YouTube can award a blank screen the greatest video ever made. Have you ever watched Atomfilms? Most of that is complete crap too. Some of it is rather good but most of it is crap. And that's crap that people actually set out to make.

Made from the rendered fat of those disloyal to the Revolution. It makes a cheery glow.

I think that pretty much covers the general opinion here. I can't tell if I'm being ironic or not anymore.

I know I do. Why? Certain antisocial almost psychopathic tendencies are a plus, a GOOD attribute for the line of work I'm in. My job is to think like a criminal to some extent.

What I love about zealots is that you can safely ignore them. Either they believe their own ideals hold them to such a high standard they take themselves out of the equation entirely, or their own suggestions sound so insane that no rational person needs bothering to pay any attention to them at all. At Salon I've people openly espouse philosophies that advocated the complete disassembly of technology, genocidal population reduction, famine, economic calamity, and just about everything that the Unabomber thought was a great idea. To them CFL's aren't the problem. The last 300 years of human progress is. These are the people for whom the Patriot Movement, off in compounds out in the Idaho woods was tailor made for. I just wish they would go already.
