Commented on EXTREME: Sarah Palin video "ad"
It's nice to see critical thinking is alive and well. No offense, but they were better off as Luddites. All of that has been debunked or vastly overstated and misunderstood....

Commented on Mad Magazine on Sarah Palin
Ugly Canuck... propaganda.... religious beginnings... good point, but it's a political tradition too. And the Commies, Nazis are just secular religions of course. Thomas Paine, The Federalist, The Anti-Federalist, the broadsheets that inundated this country through the early 20th century...

Commented on Mad Magazine on Sarah Palin
It's amusing, but it doesn't really have much to say. All those jokes are a tad obvious and have been making the rounds for over a week now. Cracked is better....

Exactly when did these folks talk about Chelsea and or Hillary or Bill's parenting skills or Algores's drug abusing son? John Stewart is a shill. Too bad because at times he's high-larious....

Commented on Who scrubbed Wikipedia's entry for Sarah Palin just before nom announcement?
BB Ate My Name... awesome moniker first. I agree it can be reliable -- probably mostly -- but in academic papers I don't allow it. I definitely agree (backing off my perhaps overstatement of unreliability)with your take on the fickle...

Commented on Who scrubbed Wikipedia's entry for Sarah Palin just before nom announcement?
One other thing... it just goes to show that anyone who relies on Wikipedia for reliable information is sadly lacking in discernment. It's great to peruse for general info, but hardly reliable for the very reason this post points out....

Takuan... I've a law degree -- don't practice now just to clarify. I don't have a Wikipedia page or I'd go "cleanse" it. My main point is -- what is the big deal? I have a buddy from college who...

Commented on Mad Magazine's War on Bush collection
"Mad's already warming up to have some fun with Obama, but at the end of the day, he's just not mush-mouthed, uncoordinated, and goofy to adequately serve the nation's satirists. Poor bastards." Step away from the Kool-Aid dispenser. Obama makes...

Commented on SFMOMA's Director of Visitor Relations forcibly removes photographer, even though photography is allowed in SFMOMA
Besides being wrong and assholish -- it's also stupid. Some folks -- so inclined -- would now own the museum. Assault and false imprisonment lawsuits bring quite the damages. I'm not advocating a lawsuit at all, but Blint screwed up...

Commented on Turning 30 in Guantanamo -- Unsubscribe from the War on Terror
Ugly Canuck.... he was arrested in Sept. 2004 -- that's not quite 4 years -- not that long in war years. I guess that makes you the math expert? And yes -- I am an expert in international and criminal...

Commented on Are musicians owed royalties for performance of their music in torture chambers?

Commented on Nearly every part of US gov is "involved in monitoring or surveillance."
This is the gov't that thought there was extensive WMD in Iraq and missed 9/11 right? You guys do realize that most bureaucracies -- especially with our population are inefficient. Not that surveillance shouldn't be curtailed. But if you're not...

Commented on NYC cops harass club owner whose CCTV footage overturned drug conviction

Commented on Over-surveillance makes it harder to fight crime
The anti-profilers chickens have come home to roost. Let's not use targeted information to catch those we know empirically to be more likely to commit criminal acts, that would be unfair and God forbid we be unfair. Lets watch everybody...

Commented on US Judiciary opts to spend millions on accessing its own records, which are now available on the Web for free
As a lawyer I second (or is it "third"? Hounskull. I would also not be surprised if the bureaucratic hassles of accepting a gift in lieu of the bidding process and other government-contracting regulations make keeping the existing contracts in...

Commented on Declassified memo authorized US to torture "enemy combatants"
Actually, in International law, there's a long history of ignoring treaty obligations in time of war or other national emergency. Obviously its arguable, for some anyway, whether this memo authorizes "torture" or whether it was ever used -- since many...

Commented on Sex offender ordered to keep warning signs on car and house
This guy is lucky the kids' father didn't do what he should've done. I agree with him -- the sign is a useless punishment -- though a good tag for the rest of us. The proper punishment would not be...

Commented on TED 2008: Samantha Power on American responses to mass atrocities and genocide
I find it ironic that Pat Schroeder -- of the worldview that gave us animal rights and group identity politics is shocked -- SHOCKED! -- that people are more concerned for silverback gorillas than about Tutsis being macheted. What to...
