GOP "restored hope, respect and morality within the Oval Office"...

I thought Clinton was a criminal, and can't decide if the current guy is a zealot or a moron or a criminal or all three.

Looking for a comparison.

Scooter Libby is also a deranged individual. http://www.newyorker.com/archi.../051107ta_talk_collins

Al Gore's son arrested for DUI again

In all fairness, this should have nothing to do with the election. I won't vote for Al Gore because he is a censor of popular music (Google PMRC).

52% of Americans won?t vote for Hillary via NBC poll

But remember, democracy is freedom. How is it that all democracies seem to decay into these oligarchies? Well, Plato told you. Did you listen? Succinct analysis of the Democrats, by the way. I was aghast last election that they chose the billionaire over a viable candidate, but someone...

Spreading Democracy by the Sword

It's possible that both suck, and that the type of government is implicated in both cases, or that the situation is more complex.

Why Identify With a Political Party??

Status = identity politics. People want to feel smarter about their political choices, whether true or not.

Prime Minister Gordon Brown first act against terror plot in Britain

How about just telling the truth? If they're Muslim terrorists, they're Muslim terrorists. We know terrorists come in different stripes (thinking of McVeigh here) so what's the harm? When we can't talk about reality, we're a sick and dying society.

A**hole neighbors keep parking in front of my garage

Having been in this situation, I say: do not escalate to violence or stupidity. 1. Make sure you've talked to the tenants and left a note: soon I will tow. 2. Make sure you've told the landlord: soon I will tow. In writing. 3. Find out what you have to do to get it towed. In most areas, if...

Best Core 2 Duo motherboard?

Thanks all for the input. I'm most convinced by the arguments for the Abit and the Intel boards. I'm still mulling over this "all boards are created equal, except for features" issue, as tests in the field indicate some questions on that regard. It's often hard to separate...

Why are poor countries still poor in this day and age?

That's the way the US is going, for sure. As Spengler noted, third-world nations are most commonly the remnants of collapsed empires.

Spreading Democracy by the Sword

I'm not sure I want to live under democracy. The masses seem to pick the wrong answer every time.

Out of print material and Pirating

You're asking a complex question. Wrong? Obviously the publisher doesn't care. Exceptions might be if they'd prefer you buy a current version... Illegal? I'm not a lawyer, but if it's still under copyright, my guess is it's illegal.

Best Core 2 Duo motherboard?

I'm not interested in being the bleeding edge, but I'd like to put a Core 2 Duo system together. The question is, what motherboard takes advantage of this new chipset the best? I'm looking for a balance of price, performance and stability. The last is a category few people emphasize, but I've...
