Original article: "WALL-E"

Pixar's Problem

It is bonded and branded with Disney.

The movies are just made to make money and show off CGI skills. The team does both.

I am interested in goals other than theirs.

It's about the machine.

Original article: Is Ralph Nader losing it?

Paint us a picture Joan!

Use words to make someone look bad, that's the craft of journalsim!

He is not doddering and is not appalling and not the one who lost the election to Bush.

You are just talking shit.

What does your mouth smell like?

If you really believed that shit, you wouldn't be dwelling on Nader, but McKinney instead.

It is as if McKinney wasn't on the payroll and the score card of the WWE.

That makes her respectable.

Not likely that you will pay any attention to her.

She is real.

@IAlwaysforHillary

"IF SOMEONE HAD A GUN TO MY HEAD AND A KNIFE TO MY HEART!!! I WILL BE VOTING FOR JOHN MC CAIN!!! AT LEAST I CAN RESPECT HIM. I CANNOT RESPECT OBAMA!! HE IS UNQUALIFIED, INEXPERIENCED, ARROGANT, COCKY AND HAS RADICAL TIES TO TERRORISTS, CRIMINALS, RACISTS AND PEOPLE WHO HARBOR ANTI-AMERICAN SENTIMENTS TO OUR COUNTRY - HIS WIFE INCLUDED!!"

I admire your steadfast determination. If someone had a gun to my head and a knife to my heart i would vote for whoever they wanted me to.

I would even vote for Hillary.

Please don't shoot me.

@Tina Trent

You can trash talk McKinney all you want, but she isn't for war, torture and corporate hegenomy like the other two candidates.

Racism and dictators? Have you looked at either party?

You want to vote for the Junta and I want them thrown out.

@Renegade Iconoclast

I am not buying fascism, war or corporations over people.

That is what the democrats and the republicans are delivering.

Maybe the c stands for cynic.

Go ahead and worship your Icons,

Hey, wait a minute . . .

Iconoclast - One who attacks cherished beliefs.

Renegade - a term for a fallen Christian or a knight without allegiance.

Maybe you should change your name, oh TRUE BELIEVER and LOYAL DEMOCRAT.

SCHWIIIINGGGGG!

Thank you ladies and germs, I'll be here all week. be sure tip your waitstaff please.

Good for them

After the US Air Force stole "Uber Alles" from them they had to do SOMETHING.

@dataguyx

I am pretty sure that more of them are pretending to be democratic congresspeople, like Nancy Pelosi.

@bbd

My draft number was 364.

That was one hell of a relief.

I still believed back then, but I sure as hell didn't want to go to vietnam.

I was too stupid to go to Canada. Most teenagers are.

I was born the same year

How come i look twenty years younger?

Of course I never did meth, pills, or coke.

Bill Kristol - All American Hero

Cant we take up a collection and by him a gun, some ammo and a plane ticket to Afghanistan?

He sounds just like the kind of hero we need!

O'bama, McKinney and McCain!

The Irish election!

If you will not vote for someone because they are Irish, a woman, or an African Ameriacn, then I guess you will have to vote for Nader.

Then the next four years will be all your fault.

@ politicod

What are the advantages of compromise with warmongers and fascists?

What are the advantages of compromise with liars and con artists?

What are the advantages of compromise with thieves and killers?

Enlighten us!

@Renegade Iconoclast

That why I am voting for McKinney. She didn't vote to support those things. Obama, Clinton and McCain did.

I think you are a bit confused. McKinney IS running on third party ticket.

Those who support war, torture, corporations, the MSM and the imperial presidency can vote for McCain or Obama.

/ducks

/laughs

"Why Clinton voters will come back to the fold?"

Because war is more important than peace.

Because corporations are important and people are not.

Because the constitution is a silly old rag that should be recycled.

Because we should spend lots of money spying on Americans to protect them from CIA terrorists based in the mid east.

Because the oil companies are not making enough profits and gas is just too damn cheap.

Because Skull and Bones should continue having access to the treasury.

Because we miss the cold war and the threat of nuclear war with the communists.

Because health care doesn't cost enough.

Because we need more prisons.

Because who else are you going to vote for? Nader?

Vote for Cynthia McKinney.

@brightstar65

From their perspective you are much the same.

Domesticating apes was never a good idea.

Issues do not matter as they really don;t count anyway to the pols - they are just sales talk and ineffective sales talk at that.

Feelings and whether or not you trust someone or they rub you the wrong way count for a lot more. Plus you really want someone you can identify with, someone like you.

Who the hell is Obama like anyway?

It is all BS anyway. None of them are real.

FISA

There is no difference.

One has stuck the label CHANGE on the box.

What is in the box is the same old shit.

The new boss is the same as the old boss.

We won't be fooled again.

Except for everyone who votes for a democrat or a republican.

Those fools will damn us all.

Original article: George Carlin dies at 71

"we will figure out a way to honor him there"

You can start by not believing.

Especially in politics, government, news and religion.

The only great american who deserves a state funeral who wouldn't want one.
