  • Ma, come quick, something's happenin' on the internets!

    I love it when the mainstream media (and I completely include Salon in this category) suddenly notices something that's been on the internet for years, and then decides to write a whole bunch of stories about it as though it's news. I'm not sure whether you ripped off CNN or they stole your idea for a story, but I've got a scoop for both of you:

    MyDeathSpace.com has been online since March 2006. In internet terms, that makes it 10,000 years old. You are posting an old meme: http://www.encyclopediadramatica.com/index.php/Old_meme

    Seriously, don't try to tell us about the internet. We live here.

    It's actually been up since January 2006, so you're even later than I thought.

  • Why is everyone assuming he's talking about war in Pakistan?

    From his quotes, it sounds like Obama is talking about action by law enforcement or special forces (most likely with the quiet approval of the Pakistani government). I'm pretty confident he doesn't want to invade Pakistan. I don't know whether posters here just didn't understand that or are willfully misrepresenting Obama's statements.

  • Leave the poor girl alone...

    This whole thing seems mean. She can't choose who her parents are, and it shouldn't be a big deal who she supports for President. Everyone here who agrees 100% with their parents' political views, raise your hand.
