Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
In any case, if I'm following the reporting correctly, they basically caved and put God back in
Yeah, they did. And since some of the people on the floor booed at the caving, the GOP is now claiming that the DNC booed God.
I hate the way they cave: it does them no good, and just makes them look weak.
I saw someone quoting scripture about how those that "bless Israel will be blessed" and that's why you should vote Republican. *shudder*
I cannot express how much I love Charter Communication's use of Twitter for customer service. Seriously good. Charter itself isn't great and it's expensive but I adore not having to phone in. Just tweet them and they do want you want in a few minutes.
OMG Charlie Pierce, I love him so:
I would crawl on my knees naked through four miles of crushed glass just to listen, on a bad radio, to a debate between Bill Clinton and the zombie-eyed granny-starver Paul Ryan.
Ha! Me, too!
That would be, to quote Garfield, like swatting a fly with a Buick.
I would crawl on my knees naked through four miles of crushed glass just to listen, on a bad radio, to a debate between Bill Clinton and the zombie-eyed granny-starver Paul Ryan.
Naked through four miles of crushed glass....no. But I would pony up for pay-per-view for that debate.
Man, I think the only thing that's going to keep me sane this election season is the Esquire Politics Blog.
Yep. Steve Benen is good to if you want to vary it up.
I haven't watched the whole speech yet (since it's an HOUR FREAKING LONG), but could you elaborate? I'm curious what he said and why it was wrong.
He said that Obama had allowed undocumented young people to get a status that will allow them to join the military. The status he is giving them does NOT allow them to join the military. The military requires permanent residency. DoD could change the enlistment rules but they haven't at this point.
Some states, Arizna and Texas, have also been sort of assholes and won't let these kids get driver's licenses.
I am glad your Dr. was honest with you. I was so annoyed with my dentist because he implied that having my wisdom teech pulled as an adult was no big deal, and instead I could barely eat for 2 weeks right before Thanksgiving.
I am quite grateful that she didn't pull any punches and told me exactly what I was signing up for. Sorry about the bizarre dreams and ickyness, Sophia. Dreams should be more programmable.
The conventions are all about firing up the base; I don't think any minds are changed by them. Maybe the debates will change minds or influence the undecideds. In a completely biased assessment I have to think the DNC is doing a better job with firing up the base job, but I have no objective reason for thinking this.
