Oh my, time to start a towing business. :)

Good read as usual Joseph.

"Their use of race and racism is premeditated; it is a commodity to be traded in the political market. THAT should be the focus of GOP outrage; that should be what the media is talking about; that should be the cause of our national indignation."

Hi Joseph,

Great as usual, but I need to think a bit more on what the GOP outrage SHOULD be about. A big part of me says we should simply ignore race as most of us do in our daily lives and I think at some point whether someone says negro or black person or cracker or martin luther coon or whatever that we should realize and be proud of the fact that most main stream Americans are not terribly impressed by racism to begin with. I dislike Reid more for his juvenile absolutism, which simply doesn't wash in the real world, political or otherwise. He reminds me of a 15 yr old in his arguments and the last time I heard him on sean hannity's radio show he sounded like a complete buffoon in terms of how we should deal with afghanistan and al qaeda etc..

My ass is lilly-white (according to one of my black friends)..

Newsflash from the Globe: Coakley beats Truman! Woohoo!

I dialed in a few times, it only takes a minute and 10 bucks is charged to your phone..
Pat Robertson is #2 on twitter for some rather idiotic remarks at an inopportune moment, but it's nice to see BH stopping the presses and doing some impromptu coverage on this. In the right here, right now world we live in, BH knows how to take a moment's pause and do what's right.

"You ask them what I say and don't say sh*t else"..

Perfect,.. I love that guy.

Thanks Ed for the Nebraska clarification. The MSM as far as I can tell has all but ignored the attempted terrorist attack though.

Nutty post for a "grad" student..

Well, the Golden Age of science fiction actually is conservative-leaning.. While many people here see "Dances with Wolves", I see A.E. Van Vogt "Cooperate or Else". The 6 legged monsters are all the same as well as the jungle world, private industry in space and motifs on corporate greed and the backlash to the industrial revolution in general. The only thing Cameron did differently was to make "us" lose instead of finding a middle ground where smurfs and people could be happy. I think he should be commended for doing that because it eliminates the possibility of a sequel. The only thing I can think of for part two is nuke the planet surface and take what we want anyway and that would make for a rather short movie.
