Even though I'm a teacher, I try not to be a grammarnazi here (except when faced with trolls). However, the headline for this vid screams for a comma/conjunction or for a semicolon. Currently, it implies that "Santorum rips Romney" (yes!) & "Obama gets a standing ovation at CPAC" (ick!)

We all know that O didn't earn a standing O from CPAC, but for clarity's sake, the headline should be changed.

China + Google, Turkey + YouTube... free speech has its limits, as Evan pointed out.

Hopefully Twitter can keep its 'promise' to replace offending tweets within the offended country. If they prove inefficient at that, users in some countries may be denied access to the entire world of Twitter because the governments themselves will take blanket action.

Have you met DJ? You two would get along well.

Sunlight is the best disinfectant, here and in the MMFA kingdom.

"Hundreds of more examples"... such an awkward construction, but I can imagine what you wish to imply. Of course, that thread is 41 (forty-one) weeks old. Had to do some digging in your favorites for that, huh? Or do you have it linked in one of your blogposts?

Are you asking for decency, or simply throwing up stuff to see what sticks? Either way, it doesn't change my premise: if posts cross the line, deal with them. As I said, "Sunlight is the best disinfectant, here and in the MMFA kingdom." That's all I'm asking of MMFA or the BIGs. I know which I trust more.

Have you read the comments on the MMFA site pertaining to this non-story? Have you written any of those comments? They contain the same disrespect and disgust as the tweets listed.

Your answer is wrong. Your score is zero. Better luck next time.

The answer to the question is, "Yes, they are; at least one." I read through some of the comments on the MMFA non-story and despaired of ever finding a rational thought.

Chunktronic recently commented in this thread that "the guilt by commenter association can of worms is one we want to open." My question to you is, "Why not?" Can you provide evidence that comments by actual conservatives (not "DJ" and his imitation friends) cross the line of decency into that in the MMFA pages (and tweets)?

Perhaps you can; doesn't make it right. Sunlight is the best disinfectant, here and in the MMFA kingdom.

Plenty of bad films make "lots of bucks." Many of the "Best Picture" nominees barely made enough money to pay the "stars" appearing in the films. How much of the $12 million earned by “Extremely Loud & Incredibly Close” will be used to pay Tom Hanks?

We have to continue pointing out the hypocrisy in the MSM. Anti-life proponents are some of the most devastating deceivers on the planet, so they fit together well. Keep it up, Mary!

The MSM has a track record of misrepresenting the quantity and the character of attendees at pro-life, pro-liberty events. After all, the Restoring Honor rally was misreported similarly, with estimates of the crowd at perhaps a third of reality. Those same folks gleefully boosted the numbers of Rally to Restore Sanity to 200K+ (which may itself be inaccurate). Here's two different sources for the same discussion: http://www.examiner.com/us-headlines-in-national/... and http://ironicsurrealism.com/2010/10/30/aerial-pho... Be sure to see "update 4" particularly.

P.S. I know that Breitbart and Beck have had their differences, but there were lots of good folks from all parts of the conservative world that participated in the Restoring Honor rally. America does need to be restored.

Since the photos have credits listed, I presume you'll take down your comments?

Please provide links to posts where the author has "taken liberties with the truth". If, by some chance you are not referring to this author, but to some other person affiliated with Andrew Breitbart, then I presume you'll reword your comments to more clearly express your thoughts. After all, even in the basics of the English language, words mean things. Your words are wrong in at least one part of your first comment in this thread, so editing is required for you to maintain the illusion of intellectual honesty.

The characters do indeed make Chuck what it has been these years and what it will be in syndication and fandom for years to come. While the characters were created by showrunners and writers, the actors who brought these characters to life made Chuck the show we love.

I know that Zac and Yvonne have already had major big-screen roles; I suspect that Adam will be back on a soundstage soon enough.

Thanks, Adam, for being that "elder statesman" on screen and off.
