Commented on Al Franken kicks eleventy-million kinds of ass in health-care hearing
I noticed exactly the same thing. The bespectacled woman behind Franken is HOT. Also, did you see the "kid" in a suit behind the Hudson Institute woman? He was cracking up with laughter....

Commented on Al Franken kicks eleventy-million kinds of ass in health-care hearing
Oh, but didn't you see; it's not just one ass, it's "eleventy-million kinds" of ass...*sarcastic eyeroll*. It's still a good clip, but Cory has a tendency towards hyperbole, as we all know....
Commented on 555 California security guards in San Fran threaten to punch sidewalk photographer, break his f*cking camera
This is the security guard's "shtick," if you will. Acting intimidating, threatening, etc. These guys have no real power and they know it, so they have to resort to threats of force. It's part of the job, I figure....
Commented on Al Franken kicks eleventy-million kinds of ass in health-care hearing
I'm extremely glad he's in the Senate. Beyond the fact that I've always been very fond of his comedy and his books, he's turning out to be a real muckraker. Virtually anyone would be better than Norm Coleman, but Franken...
Commented on Important and fascinating Lewis Hyde essay on copyright
I think this is a fascinating thesis. I also think it's worth noting that these men were, for the most part, alright with the idea of human beings as property....
Commented on Wild Mook: Japanese '80s fanzine devoted to American cops
I can't quite figure out who the audience for this is intended to be. It doesn't seem like it's supposed to be for police. Of course, there's nothing more different than a Tokyo police officer and an officer on "Cops."...
Commented on They Shoot Porn Stars, Don't They? Susannah Breslin on recession and adult biz
I won't "flame" you only because I immediately expect opinions like yours when articles like this appear on Boing Boing and elsewhere and I'm almost disappointed that more people don't share your view. Of course, I disagree entirely. I wholeheartedly...

Rather hilarious, I say....
Commented on Psychologists answer the question "What's the one nagging thing you still don't understand about yourself?"
It makes sense that Susan Blackmore would wonder about a soul. Her most notable research is in the study of near-death and out-of-body experiences - always mystical areas....
Commented on Report: Woman paralyzed by E. coli-tainted hamburger
This is disgusting; I hope this woman and her family can successfully sue Cargill, but of course, I doubt it....
Commented on Rogue helicopter pilots and "chameleon lemon-headed coward terrorist pussies."
I like how so many things (like this post surely) on Boing Boing turn into "controversies" - and everyone goes back and forth discussing their opinions and dismissing other people's and it's just a recursive loop of touchiness and pretense....
Commented on Rogue helicopter pilots and "chameleon lemon-headed coward terrorist pussies."
This one seems to be enjoying a comeback. This is the third time I've seen it posted to a blog, Facebook, etc. Nevertheless, it's indescribably awesome. Sue Myrick knows about this....

Wow. How fabulously obscure!...

Commented on Are Muslim Women Oppressed? Ask One
Here's where I stand: if I'm honest with myself, I think the burqa/headscarf is the most disgusting and tragic symbol of female oppression in the modern world today. But, of course, I would never say that anywhere other than this...

Commented on Computer Space on eBay
I don't know how anyone could say this machine is anything other than "beautiful." It's one of the earliest and best examples of what Bruce Sterling would call a "blobject."...
Commented on Celebrated Darwin biopic can't find a distributor in the US, producer blames creationists
This story isn't "novel" or "funny" and it certainly isn't "wonderful." It's just very, very sad. Nevertheless, it still seems like the grim duty of BoingBoing to report it....

zyodei commented on Hope is fading
There is one reason the American people elected Obama over McCain that towers above all the rest: To end the wars. The mass of Americans, the swing voters who decide elections, cast a vote AGAINST everything that Bush represented. In the true will of the people, there is NOT a strong mandate for these massive social programs that are being proposed. He has an overwhelming mandate to end the wars and reverse constitutional violations and crony capitalism. NONE OF THESE are being delivered at all. I find these posts linking the Politifact "truth-o-meter" to be amazingly myopic. It's not a...
zyodei commented on Hope is fading
Yeah, it is too bad. Really, really too bad. But the problem isn't with wealth itself - money is a neutral energy, capable of accomplishing great good or great evil. Many filthy rich people have done great good for the world. The problem comes when the rich choose to capture the coercive power of government for their own ends. The power of avaricious money amplified through the power of a powerful government has the potential to cause more damage than any other force in the world. That's why I support the shrinking and defanging of government at every opportunity -...
teapot commented on Hope is fading
Zyodei - we mostly agree on this issue, it's just we are arguing slightly different points and something got lost in translation: Capitalism, in the sense that it made America great, is simply economic freedom within a framework of honest laws. You seem to think I was having a go at capitalism, which is not true. Any economic system is likely to have expoitable loopholes - and the people who can, usually do end up greedily exploiting them. My tirade about Capitalism was more about user Navigator's blind and all-too-simple rhetoric. Furthermore I think you hit the nail on the...
lhughes commented on Hope is fading
He's a fraud. If you 30 or younger be afraid. You've either signed up for (or you are a victim) of a generation of low wages, unemployment, underemployment, spiraling health care costs, social security costs, property taxes (in blue states) and a crushing federal deficit. If you're not worried then you're probably a looter and on the public dole. Otherwise, do something to change this....
deckard68 commented on Hope is fading
"To end the wars." I believed, like many others, that when Obama-the-candidate said he was for the war in Afghanistan and against the war in Iraq, that he was just saying that about Afghanistan only to win some Republican votes. I thought he was saying it with a wink, and that once in office, he'd say that he was actually for ending both the wars. So he did not fool me, but I fooled myself. My only remaining hope is that the only reason he's continuing to fund the war in Afghanistan is because he's afraid that if he stops...
