I agree with you on the "both sides" thing, tommyrot, but I think it's very useful to be able to say, "GET THE HELL OFF MY SIDE, YOU'RE MAKING ME LOOK CRAZY, TOO!" which is what I wish more conservative would do. In debate, and in conversation, as soon as someone brngs up Michael Moore, Barbara Streisand, or other crazyleftpeople, I am quick to say, "Look, Michael Moore doesn't speak for me, or the democrats on the barstools in Southie sipping beers after the third shift. And I'm working on the assumption that Glenn Beck doesn't speak for you, either. So let's start from a different place now that we have that out of the way, and not argue the points of crazy people neither of us agree with."
Weirdly, Joe Scarborough has been doing that a lot re: "death panels" and challenging his wingnuttier guests to show him where that exists in the bill, and not letting them slide.
I think they're starting to inch away from the crazy, which is so much better for the country.

He is one of the conservative voices I can totally disagree with and still believe he pays attention to facts. I can't deal with the crazies on either side that just make shit up. Although right now the right side crazies really do seem to outnumber the lefties by far.
This tennis match will
surely last until midnight.
I'm tired out already just watching.
Anyone around? We're helping my niece with her word equation thingies. (Like, 5 S on a P = 5 sides on a pentagon)
We're down to one: 3 C on a S.
I have run out of the will to figure it out. Anyone?
Three children on a slide?
Or does it have to be math-related?
3 consonants in a square?
Ok, I got nuttin.
It doesn't have to be math related, but it has to be "true." So, 12 M in a Y is 12 months a year, 18 H on a GC=18 holes on a golf course, 6 S on a D=6 sides on a die. That kind of thing.
Oh, I love those! Let me think.
My S-i-L is now phoning relatives. See, I know if this were not Sunday, you all would be around to figure this out lickety-split. Also, this keyboard is missing the plastic cover for the b key, which is really annoying.
This is going to be another kprinkle, isn't it.
