wow, calling an airing of schindler's list "irresponsible sexual behaviour" is so amazingly fucked up

i'm sure that obama is total best buddies with tom coburn, one of the senate's leading intellectuals

I understand the gag factor in seeing an embrace of someone with detestable views, but being able to work with someone is not the same as taking BFF photobooth I ENDORSE YR VIEWS BROSEF pics with them.

FWIW i do more work to help get obama elected than anyone else on this board

So that thing McCain mentioned during the debate about Obama requesting $932 million in pork is more or less accurate, right? Admittedly it's not something I care about that much compared to the bigger issues, but it would count as a flaw, and as far as I can determine it seems to be true.

i fuck mathematics, Sunday, 28 September 2008 05:37 (fifteen years ago) link

my guess (i have not researched the details re: obama) is that a fair amount of what GOP usually term "pork" would be funding for projects in the state/district that would benefit the public

that is part of his job imho. i got plenty of things to criticize about obama but this is not one that troubles me unless there is some real cronyism stuff in there.

regular guy, scranton, pennsylvania (daria-g), Sunday, 28 September 2008 05:56 (fifteen years ago) link

Yeah I wish he would actually defend some of the earmarks instead of saying that the system is "broken" since it's kind of giving the point to McCain, and not requesting any earmarks for the next year isn't going to do great things for Illinois. If he was just like, "hey here's all the useful stuff I did with my earmark money, I was working for my constituents, fuk u John" that'd be cool.

A remarkable assumption.

FWIW I don't think anyone on this thread was attacking your motivations for criticism (nb: on this thread, other bs attacks on your motivations notwithstanding). Your point is well taken.

gabbneb, Sunday, 28 September 2008 14:31 (fifteen years ago) link

i assumed campaign work, but then i thought maybe she just knows more people who are "uncomfortable with" Obama than the rest of us

i might do Camp Obama, but I'm probably a little too Federal court for door-to-door; should do voter protection if I'm able to

gabbneb, Sunday, 28 September 2008 14:49 (fifteen years ago) link

Obama's biggest flaw is that he doesn't have a tic which would make him suitable for a really good "SNL" evisceration.

Alfred, Lord Sotosyn, Sunday, 28 September 2008 14:50 (fifteen years ago) link

well, it does. there are things that are true and things that are false, at the end of the day.

I think I remember hearing Obama use the word "cockamamie" at least once. Which is just, I mean, come on... it's just a foolish word.
That said, my Grandma occasionally employed the phrase "Holy Jupiter!" with notable success, so I could be wrong here.

This is making me nostalgic for high school satire columns.

btw Que, Lehrer's brand of mewling "classy" PBS journalism is what makes him a waste of space.

Dr Morbius, Monday, 29 September 2008 17:39 (fifteen years ago) link

Dr. Morbius i don't ever watch CNN or Fox or any of that shit, because I try not to get too much of my news from the TV. Nor do I have cable. That said, Jim Lehrer and PBS are really not that bad--they go pretty in depth on lots of topics, and they seem fair to both sides. i read papers and blogs and stuff, too so PBS is more supplementary. he runs a good debate. if you really think he needs to be shot like a horse, i don't think there is anything I or anyone else can say to change your mind.

i'm not sure what mewling classy journalism means to you but like i said, TV's a horrible way to get your news, so Lehrer and co suprise me.

Mr. Que, Monday, 29 September 2008 17:41 (fifteen years ago) link

surprise me--

you on the other hand never surprise me.

Mr. Que, Monday, 29 September 2008 17:41 (fifteen years ago) link

he's no Dennis Perrin that's for sure

Alex in SF, Monday, 29 September 2008 17:43 (fifteen years ago) link

seriously--i stopped reading after the "Jim Lehrer wants to put a Tek-9 in his mouth" gag. i guess i should read that bullshit instead of watching PBS from time to time, right Morbs?

Mr. Que, Monday, 29 September 2008 17:43 (fifteen years ago) link

it means he has a mild disposition and eschews the scatology morbs so prizes

he's also a Marine, so good luck w/ that KO, morbs
