    Let me clarify that 'Derbig', in case you're wondering.

    Terrorism waged in the US is a GOOD thing. Too bad no one's that good at it. If you want change, then start blowing up malls in Iowa. If you want to blog and give gratifying strokes to Glenn Greenwald then do that. Either way, stand up for whatever the fuck it is you believe in. Or if you can't, then hang a big sign around your neck that says "Pussy".

    Did you know that the last man involved in the plot to kill Hitler died today? All the whiners here have about 0.04% of the guts that takes compared to their blogging outrage, nitpicking and other assorted mental defects.

    So by that math it would take every man woman and child, intensively and by hand, farming an area the size of Pennsylvania to feed us all.

    4th largest state, 44th in population. 6 people per square mile. Seems like a lot of fighting over nothing when there's huge expanses of nothing all around.

    of idiot Obama v Clinton blather here at Salon.blow. All stupidity aside, if either one of those groups loses and frowns and takes their ball home and votes for McCain like they say they will, then you will in fact get the disaster you deserve. So buck up, shut up, sit down and admit that at the end of the day 99% of you will vote for whomever is the Democratic nominee. If you're that driven by the narrow confines of whatever you perceive to be the purest noblest form of your personal orthodox doctrine then maybe this form of government isn't the one for you. Maybe you need to live in Italy or Israel with their anarchic Parliamentary systems where there's dozens of political parties each with their own insufferable inflexible ideology. That way all the extremists get to be extremists, all the fringe single issue groups get to be that and all the governments collapse every 2 or 3 years.

    Stay classy. What next? Dick jokes? I could only help your credibility - maybe Salon can give you a column "Moose Dick Jokes".

    Is this the Democrat's own Blue Dress scandal? Are we going to hear, oh I dunno, 20 million more words about this non issue? Good way to take your eyes off the prize there. I wish you good luck with that strategy.

    Yeah we get a variation on that too when the trailer parks complain that them thar sub-urbans with their new fangled computin machines and flat teevees move in and make them move their stills and meth labs further up the mountain. Yeah Yeah suburban blight taking away the bucolic charm of cars up on blocks in the front yard and upholstered furniture on the porch. Boo freakin hoo.

    I'm not hooked on DOOM like you folks. You people are the modern day analog for the American religious movements of the 1830's that were convinced the world was coming to an end on a specific date in the near near future.

    It's a standard fool, the laughable bumbling useless male. But try that shit on a female character and you'll have a whole phone bank of NPR fund raising volunteers calling for the ginzu knives to lop off your penises.

    But a 100% of Salon TV coverage is either premium cable channels that most people don't get, or it's the same 4 dramas on network TV with the occasional "Survivor" thrown in. And this is for a readership that half of them claim not to own a television as it is the Devil.
