“Change of this magnitude is extremely hard. That it is also frustrating,...”

He still gots love for Obama, as do I, and as should you.
Merry Christmas.
A reporter asked: “If there’s a hoax, then who’s...
“It started in the United Nations,” Inhofe said, “and the ones in the United States who really grab ahold of this is the Hollywood elite.”
Predictably, this line of reasoning played out really well in Europe.

“We’ve gone from the Teddy Kennedy health care bill to the Joe Lieberman bill....”
– Taylor Marsh (via apsies)
I fail to see the merit in this criticism. While Taylor got behind Obama once he grabbed the Democratic nomination, she was an ardent Hillary supporter. She wasn’t HillaryIs44, but she was pretty damn close. I’m reading deep between the lines here, but with...
My Woods
Today I threw out the shoe box that was full of the nicest things anyone has ever said about me. I duct taped it shut at the beginning of the summer, and it sat on the top shelf of my closet ever since. I didn’t open it before I threw it out. I didn’t read any of the cards or letters, or look at the pictures. I didn’t really care. It’s the end of the year, and I’m...

First place: “One night after a long day of campaigning, when the haters had made my spirits reach a nadir, I looked into Todd’s eyes, which were as blue as the stripes on Old Glory, and too representing truth and loyalty, and he looked back at me with a twinkle of determination which I hadn’t seen since I told him my goal of having another baby in my...

How to Win a Climate Change Debate
‘Climate Gate’ has put some new wind behind the skeptics’ sails. With the MSM often taking the he said/she said approach to covering this not-really-up-for-debate debate, I often find myself sticking to my guns less than I would like when I get into arguments about climate change, mostly because my brain is unfortunately not connected to the internet at all times… yet. I...

Pitchfork has the documentary about the dude responsible for such classics as Suck a Pitbull’s Dick and Rock’n’Roll McDonald’s available to watch in full. It’s split into 13 parts right over here.

rillawafers:
This is interesting: The CEO of Comcast — which is in the news today because of its huge takeover of NBC — has just penned a letter to the President, endorsing his health care reform effort as “critical to putting this country on a path of sustained growth and prosperity.”
The letter from Comcast CEO Brian Roberts to Obama — which was sent over by a source — puts the CEO of one...

I preface this by saying that I am writing with the intent to maintain a reasonable, high minded, mature discussion. Emphasis on discussion. I know that this is a difficult concept for the internet.

Rumsfeld really wants to go there? →
Donald Rumsfeld, one of the least competent members of the Bush administration, fired some shots at Obama today regarding the president’s claim last night that “Commanders in Afghanistan repeatedly asked for support to deal with the reemergence of the Taliban, but these reinforcements did not arrive.”
I am not aware of a single request of that nature between 2001 and 2006. If...
WatchTiger Woods Newzak - The Daily Show
Since I get all my TV news from PBS, I wasn’t really aware of how consumed cable news had become with the Tiger Woods thing — a thing I could truly care less about. It’s truly impressive how many words so many people can devote to such a completely insignificant thing.
