To use your analogy, maybe it will turn out to be gasoline but if the other choice is letting it burn down, I can understand why they are doing it, human nature is to do something when problems occur. Trying to use short term solutions to fix long term systemic problems may not work but I'm not sure...

Nothing at this point would surprise me. It's clear we are dealing with a problem that no one has dealt with before (recently, and the global scale of it), maybe nobody is qualified to deal with, and the all of the options on the table may not work and they just happen to be very unpopular political...

I'm not advocating believing in anything on faith. However, if you want to know something you go to the person who studies it every day. Then, because it's science, the experts in the field argue and try to disprove each other and poke holes in their each others arguments until they figure out where...

I love how people think they understand one of the most complicated sciences on the planet, and understand it so well that they know the science is flawed. Obviously, everyone (other than climate scientists) have to rely on other people to form an opinion, but "climate skeptics" happen to choose peo...

Anyone have any reccomendations on a good entry level economics book? I'm not looking to take up any classes or get a degree, just looking for a good read that will help me get a better handle on the subject. This is kind of like a class but you'll learn the basics ($99): http://www.teach12.com/ttc...

http://seattletimes.nwsource.com/html/politics/2008332674_apelectionrdp.html In terms of turnout, America voted in record numbers. It looks like 136.6 million Americans will have voted for president this election, based on 88 percent of the country's precincts tallied and projections for absentee ba...

I'm glad this s*** is over. It's going to be weird being critical and picking apart the president that I actually voted for.

By any means necessary?

...right?

http://www.fivethirtyeight.com/ They are putting Obama's win percentage at 94.1% at this point. So I guess it's looking good for the socialist/communists out there. And even Bill Kristol agrees: http://www.nytimes.com/2008/10/13/opinion/13kristol.html?ref= The Obama team is well organized, flush wit...

Both parties (well they actually probably operate outside of the typical left v. right) have their crazies, trying to "judge" the amount of crazy really comes down to what flavor of crazy you dislike more. Ultimately extreme views originate more on emotion than reason and lack evidence to support th...

Obviously the daily show has a bias, but they don't just make up their material out of thin air. McCain has a longer record than Obama and it's easy to pick apart, as you can see here: <embed FlashVars='videoId=184113' src='http://www.thedailyshow.com/sitewide/video_player/view/default/swf.jhtml' qu...

I tried to find the Biden Palin debate from SNL the other day and one of the links I got said removed because of NBC, so I don't know.

For a little debate preview, I forgot how heated it got.....I can't wait until McCain plays the Ayers card. Surely McCain wouldn't be so dumb as to get into this whole "obama is a terrorist" bit in the debate (he'll save it for later). Palin is already being questioned as a racist on talk radio tod...

Oh, the good old days:

Also, I'm not arguing for her to be the moderator. I just don't think it's some giant crisis. Given her past history I think she'll be fine, but we'll find out. Even McCain himself agrees: <embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/VYGU-9Sybl4&hl=en&fs=1" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowfullscr...

What the hell? http://www.wnd.com/index.php?fa=PAGE.view&pageId=76645 Who the hell thought this was a reasonable idea? I don't think the moderator is the person you need to be concerned about. She hasn't come off as biased to me in the past. But if she comes off as biased that will be a great way t...

Explain that. That makes no sense to me. What is supposed to do, stare into his eyes and see his soul? No, not at all. But he wouldn't even look in his direction. A glance towards Obama once or twice was all I was expecting. And I'm not saying it was all that "important"...just that it's rather awk...

The no eye contact thing really bothered me. And if he does that again during the next two debates it's going to be quite creepy.

This thread is getting hilarious. So here is some good funny...but first I have to get my partisan shots in.... Obama is going to win against the RepubliSTUPIDS and DemoSMARTS are the best team in town. Palin is stupid and McCain is OLD!!!! But seriously, this video is funny. "For the past eight yea...

I was doing some late night reading on Palin and Obama if anyone would like to join me, trying to remind myself why I'm voting for Obama (and I'm really interested in learning more about Palin because I'm kind of becoming resigned to the fact that McCain is going to win... so if you got some good ar...

It was from the NY Times so it has to be false. Even the ink they print on has a liberal tint to it. :roll: As Stephen Colbert has said, "We all know reality has a well known liberal bias." I just read that article a few minutes ago, far more condemning than the seattletimes article I posted. Rob w...

I can't even begin to understand how the Democrats have managed to fumble away this year's presidential election. First by nominating the wrong person for president, next by nominating the wrong person for vice president, and finally with this past week of attacks. Even if the attacks were on targe...
