The Atheist Communist Caliphate Made Flesh, Spread the Clusterfuck Around Thread

[Kerm]

Having just watched Obama's press conference, with the gargantuan Paul Volcker in the background much of the time and the Oleg-esque Robert Reich waddling off the stage at the end, I can't help but thinking this pair has all the makings of a buddy comedy in the Schwarzenegger–DeVito vein.

PASS.

What?  "Taxi" was good.

I'm fallible.

I didn't know what The Good Night was or whatever, so I never bothered to link to it.

I think you have him confused with this guy.

I don't watch "Always Sunny" either.  Holy crap, I'm missing out on all of these Danny Devito references.

The 3 sole reasons this thread is worth clicking on:

1 -- RV's great chart, good information that most people ignore.

2 -- Tonker referencing a thread closure, which I can only hope awaits this thread.

3 -- JD talking about how these threads just instigate multi-paragraph name calling with no substance at all, but you click anyway hoping there will be some sort of e-funny to be found.



I'm all for the politi-talk, but most of what is being said here is just mind numbing.  I discuss politics every day, but it doesn't degrade to most of what I see here.  I should be the last one to talk, because I know a thing or two about making long-winded multi-paragraph posts that beat any given issue like a dead horse. 

I think the advice I should follow is -- "let sleeping dogs lie".  Also, if I "can't take the heat", then I should "stay out of the kitchen".  The final and most important bit of advice I should follow is "DON'T BE A DICK!".  Sorry if I came off like a e-hating dick.

You know who prohibits political talk?

Al Yellon.

That's because he doesn't understand it.  He should also outlaw trade talk and talk about women.

It feels...like a bag of sand...when you touch it.

I think you mean they feel like "saggy bags of garbage".

Was that wrong? Should I have not done that? I'll tell you, I've gotta' plead ignorance on this one. If I had known that sort of thing was frowned upon...

I've got no beef with the Clusterfuck. I could do without the partisan hackery that seems to invade from time to time, but I'll accept it in exchange for all the new crap I've learned and the legitimate debates I've been able to read/participate in.

Anyway, interesting piece from a veteran political writer at the Chicago Reader about Emanuel and Obama in relation to the Chicago Machine. I agree with TJ on this subject - one of my problems with Obama is his refusal to endorse Claypool over Stroger and to take on the Machine in general. This guy does a good job of adding some context to the situation.

So thanks to Mayor Daley, Emanuel got to go to Congress, where he railed against Republican corruption and scandals, conveniently overlooking all the corruption and scandal in his hometown.

In contrast, Obama's what passes for a reformer in Chicago -- at least he took a longer, more circuitous path to winning Daley's good graces. Running for state Senate in Hyde Park, a liberal independent-minded neighborhood near the University of Chicago, Obama basically pretended as though Daley and his Machine didn't exist. He didn't run with Daley, but he didn't run against him either.

This.

The good stuff from Desipiots on both sides makes putting up with the arguing worth it. And the arguing is kind of entertaining in a car accident kind of way.

Believe it or not, I'm way more educated on our nation than I was before these threads started. I've also met some insane people. Which is awesome.

You flatter yourself, Yeti.  Mike C. was around here long before you were, my friend.

I was referring to Mike C and Merkle's Boner. Yeti's a blip on the Insane Doppler 3000.
