Original article: The plot against Google

This is brilliant

I imagine a world without Rupert Mudroch, where I dont have to come across the crap he deals in. Thanks to this deal, I will be a step closer to that dream.

Original article: Obama's zugzwang economy

Well, the President was warned

And he chose bipartisanship (as if 2-3 Repub votes equal bipartisan) over getting the best stimulus bill out. On domestic agenda, the President is proving to be just an average President.

Original article: Three anniversaries

You forgot the Pinochet rise

Afterall, the coup that led to his installation on September 11, 1973 & Chile was to become the laboratory of Reaganomics (or is it Friedmanomics?).

Time to dump the Democrats

All the energy and the money that progressives have poured into the Dem party only to get cheated again and again. What is the point of it all?

Think it is time that progressives start looking at Greens.

Friday, August 21, 2009 07:15 AM

Stop defending Obama

He has proved to be even more right wing than Clinton.

Liberals need to dump Democrat party

What a sorry party it is?

Wednesday, August 19, 2009 09:00 AM

Actually, I never considered Obama to be liberal.

That Reagan praise was all too revealing. Frankly, I am all for progressives ditching the Dem party and voting for Green party or staying home. At least that way the progressives can say they did not take a direct part in the decline of USA.

lib Dem Senators should filibuster a non-public option plan

We have Feingold and probably Franken. Will Brown filibuster a non-public option plan

Wednesday, July 22, 2009 07:04 PM

@christopher, dont get what is the point you are making?

Do we really need to know the reasons for his career shift. Does it even matter?

Wednesday, July 15, 2009 07:25 PM

Actually let her stay on

The more she stays on, more my hate of Republicans gets replaced by a bemused apathy.

Monday, July 13, 2009 07:00 PM

This is the Blue Dogs and Pres fault this time

Repubs havent really waged a vigorous attack this time around. The only thing that is preventing healthcare reform is the so-called Blue Dogs. Time that Obama makes that call and tell them that if the dont get behind him then they can kiss his support, campaign time and funding goodbye.

Saturday, July 11, 2009 09:16 AM

NO

Dems= weasels.

Wednesday, July 8, 2009 11:39 AM

@John Foxborough, I think you are wrong abt the center-right part

Because only Landrieu, Nelseon and Bayh are just 3 of the 60 Dem senators. And last time I checked 57 out of 100 still formed a majority.

Wednesday, July 8, 2009 11:16 AM

Wolves in sheep's clothing

If these so called Dems cannot support something as fundamental as affordable healthcare, it is time to challenge them in primaries and throw them out from these seats.

Tuesday, July 7, 2009 05:43 PM

Aint it a bit too early for worrying abt such numbers

I would think the more important job is the governing.

Saturday, July 4, 2009 08:06 PM

Wish she had some decent education!

Whatever her skills are, she lacks basic communication skills. We dont expect our leaders to be great orators (not anymore anyways), but being comprehensible should be a requirement.

As for media's response to her resignation, most of it seems pointless with everybody conjuring up a new reason for the resignation without a single shred of evidence supporting their theory.

As for her becoming President, I would not write that off. We have a death-wish as evidenced by Bush becoming President twice.

Friday, July 3, 2009 04:01 PM

Joan, could you please decipher that statement of the governor for us.

Did not make much sense to me. And this was a prepared statement!

Friday, July 3, 2009 01:34 PM

Upon rethinking, I realize that she is honest about helping Alaska

How better to do it by resigning?

Friday, July 3, 2009 01:30 PM

Methinks that she found out that Alex did indeed visit

Bristol.

Republicans continue to astonish me

Just when i think they have reached the edge of insanity, out pops Sanford and the legion of Foxbots.

Original article: The Galactica fan tease

Fox channel and global warming

That already makes me want to watch.

Thursday, June 25, 2009 12:13 AM

I am not sure what you mean

When philandering husbands follow the script, are they not human? Arent they showing us that holding onto power is their main driving force. Ambition is as much of a human trait as emotional wreckage is.

Wednesday, June 24, 2009 02:01 PM

Is it a ``woman'' or a ``man'' or a

Barbie doll. Would somebody investigate, please.

Wednesday, June 24, 2009 12:08 PM

He is admitting an affair with a woman

I am really doubtful about the ``woman'' part. Who knows with these Republicans.

Wednesday, June 24, 2009 10:23 AM

Glenn Beck is just outta there

And I thought Billo had some real issue. This is bizzare even judging by the usual Fox news site.

Much ado about nothing: the Applachian trail runs through Buenos Aires

You dont believe me, just ask the folks at the Discovery Institute.

Visiting a cabin in the woods

Is my hypothesis. Either that or he has gone complete insane.

Original article: The Sanford saga continues

Smell like we have here a ``Brokeback Mountain'' moment

Come on, disappears for 5 days without a security detail.

Original article: Who hates who in Iran

Who controls the nuclear facilities?

In case of a civil war?

Thursday, June 18, 2009 09:52 AM

Prostitution is legal in Nevada

So why the ruckus over double salary?

Wednesday, June 17, 2009 05:07 PM

I am with u on DOMA but Dont ask dont tell policy

is a different matter. I view it as a right-- best way to avoid serving in the army. With the Afghan war escalating, a draft remains a real possibility.

Which brings me to the point that alongwith the gays, the anti-war crowd is the other group stabbed in the back.

Wednesday, June 17, 2009 04:57 PM

I never trusted the guy

As Russ Feingold put it -- Edwards was campaigning on Feingold's votes in the senate while having voted the exactly the opposite.

Of the major Dem candidates, it seems that only Clinton was campaigning on what she believed in. Strange but true.

Monday, June 15, 2009 12:32 PM

@had_enough, the conspiracy theory u provide is implausible

Because the theory hinges on the fact that Mousavi was declared winner even before a single vote was counted.

Monday, June 15, 2009 12:25 PM

I dont think that the opposition has met its burden of proof, but

there is a very simple way to resolve this. Count the ballots in front of TV!

Sunday, June 14, 2009 05:34 PM

@Betzee, I am aware of Iran's multi-ethnicity

But what u pointed out is again in my opinion, just a projection of ur desire. As omebody pointed out, this paragraph

from Indpendent explains the ``anomaly''-

http://www.independent.co.uk/opinion/commentators/fisk/robert-fisk-iran-erupts-as-voters-back-the-democrator-1704810.html

``An interval here for lunch with a true and faithful friend of the Islamic Republic, a man I have known for many years who has risked his life and been imprisoned for Iran and who has never lied to me. We dined in an all-Iranian-food restaurant, along with his wife. He has often criticised the regime. A man unafraid. But I must repeat what he said. "The election figures are correct, Robert. Whatever you saw in Tehran, in the cities and in thousands of towns outside, they voted overwhelmingly for Ahmadinejad. Tabriz voted 80 per cent for Ahmadinejad. It was he who opened university courses there for the Azeri people to learn and win degrees in Azeri. In Mashad, the second city of Iran, there was a huge majority for Ahmadinejad after the imam of the great mosque attacked Rafsanjani of the Expediency Council who had started to ally himself with Mousavi. They knew what that meant: they had to vote for Ahmadinejad."

Where is the fricking evidence?

Although i also do not like the result, just do not see any evidence of fraud at play.

Saturday, June 13, 2009 01:35 PM

What u are pointing out is circumstantial at best

Unless there is some concrete evidence, I have a hard time buying that there was fraud. And frankly quoting American govt sources who know almost next to nothing abt Iran, are not the best sources.
