Gates was so aggrieved about Obama that he kept his limo privileges and stayed four years.

Every kind of dismal political cliche on display here:
Republicans acknowledged that, with unemployment still at 7 percent and one in six Americans living in poverty, they needed to make a stronger case that their reforms would help struggling families.
“There’s also a recognition among a lot of Republicans that we have not done a good job messaging conservatism, messaging the fact that we are conservatives not in spite of our concern for the poor, but because of it,” Mr. Lee said.

help me find something!
last year sometime this map was going around of the world's racial attitudes. 'surprisingly' the western hemisphere looked pretty chill but europe was not and africa and asia were all bigoted as hell:
http://www.washingtonpost.com/blogs/worldviews/wp/2013/05/15/a-fascinating-map-of-the-worlds-most-and-least-racially-tolerant-countries/
someone linked to an analysis of it saying that it had big problems both in the stats themselves and in the presentation of them. anyone know what i'm talking about?
a correction on wonkblog links to this, which showed huge errors in the numbers for bangladesh, but that's it:

Frankly, Morbs, I don't have a lot of time for gay men who use phrases like 'syphilitic cunt'.

v nice, you didn't even have to wave your diploma from PCU at me.
Maybe you should worry more about why an impacted colon like waterface is still in the playpen.

What does where I went to college (or parody of same) have to do with your basic reflexive misogyny?

the gates 'revelations' seem like classic beltway disconnect - obama was skeptical the surge would work in afghanistan! - the kinda thinking that the al qaeda flareups in iraq recently are a disaster for obama cuz they show he shouldn't have cut and run in iraq. this isn't quite directly tied into that but the neocon revisionism and pushback on iraq recently has been out of control.

Ssh! Quiet, unless you have something to say relevant to the thread. Just take a break.

Morbs, my post was about your conduct. Whining that other kids did it too doesn't cut it with me; you're the one reaching for the misogynist imagery at the slightest provocation.
The reaction to Gates here in the UK is basically "...", everyone's like 'of course Obama wanted to leave, didn't he campaign on that, stupid Republican is stupid...'
