In the time it took you to post that you could have simply read the damn thing.
Derp, I was referring to how every long quote seems to have bolded lines, like we can't read.

Not typically an issue I see in this thread, though, which is why the joke fell a little flat.Derp, I was referring to how every long quote seems to have bolded lines, like we can't read.

Thanks ^^True. It was good and subtle. Like a lot of trolls, but this was actually positive. Nice.
Also, I just re-watched Lawrence of Arabia Rusty, nice avatar.
A documentary about Obama's first term is going to be released on the 15th. Here is the trailer, which is narrated by Tom Hanks.

His campaign tax plan is literally bullshit, but I don't see how that's particularly scandalous. It just means that he and Obama are both free to decide what it means. Besides, Romney would have appealed to dynamic scoring, just like Paul Ryan, since it's likely that the only way his plan makes any sense is with manifestly absurd assumptions.OOPS! Romney Lets Slip An Uncomfortable Truth About His Tax Plan

So his tax plan can't be scored? Doesn't Romney need to care about that in the GE if he's going to claim that his budget will lower the deficit and it better than Obama's?
Good stuff. My only issues with Obama are his civil liberties record: NDAA, extension of Patriot Act, FISA bill, etc. I also severely dislike his groveling to Israel at every opportunity, but that's like a built-in feature with every President. Other things I'm cool with.

I'm not realllly up in arms about war on drugs/legalize marijuana debates. It's an issue that's just not dear to me. Didn't hear about whistleblower rules, but again, I suppose it comes under civil liberties as well.Cool with expanding the war on drugs and cracking down on whistleblowers? I'm going to vote for the man but there's a lot not to like.
You're not missing anything.What am I looking for, there's no bolded parts
Thanks ^^
Yeah, it's a fantastic movie.
As much as I think Peter O' Toole was magnetic in Lawrence, Omar Sharif was tailor made for Dr Zhivago. I can't imagine anyone else in that role. And yeah, you can't really blame O Toole for not wanting to spend another two years in an essentially ice desert.The special that came on after was interesting. I had no idea Peter O'Toole spent two years with the director in the desert filming it. Then when Dean went on to cast Dr. Zhivago he asked O'Toole to lead it. Add he turned it down so Sharif got it. O'Toole was sick of spending so much time together and the prospect of two years in the Russian tundra was not appealing.
They should just score it using the parts that he concretely specifies. He concretely specifies a 20% across tax cut . . . put that in the score. He fails to specify what deductions or exemptions will be limited . . . doesn't get in the score. He fails to specify what programs will be cut and how much . . . doesn't get in the score.So his tax plan can't be scored? Doesn't Romney need to care about that in the GE if he's going to claim that his budget will lower the deficit and it better than Obama's?
(CNN) – Republicans headed into a contentious general election fight with President Barack Obama may be facing an enthusiasm deficit: according to a new analysis, fewer Republicans have turned out for primaries in 2012 than in 2000 and 2008.
Taken as a whole, 7,846,172 Americans voted out of 68,125,000 eligible citizens, a turnout rate of 11.5%. That's a decrease from the 13.2% rate in the same states in 2008, and the 12.2% turnout rate in 2000.
Other contests that saw higher turnout in 2012 were Tuesday's Ohio primary, which was widely hyped as a key indicator of the 2012 race; Michigan, where the battle between Rick Santorum and Mitt Romney grabbed national headlines; and Vermont, which went for Romney on Super Tuesday. Ohio, Michigan and Vermont had higher turnout in 2012 than 2008, but all three states were down from 2000.
Only issues? His record on civil liberties is worse than Bush's.
I'm a little surprised by that. Granted, they haven't had a field of inspiring candidates. However, I thought the hatred of Obama was strong enough to drive some enthusiasm. I guess not. I guess a lot of people have just gotten used to him and the crappy GOP candidates don't inspire people enough to boot him out. Maybe all of Obama's cross-aisle efforts were not in vain. Although he hasn't gotten people to like him, he has diffused the hatred it seems.

But what does Ja Rule think?
PRINCETON, NJ -- U.S. unemployment, as measured by Gallup without seasonal adjustment, increased to 9.1% in February from 8.6% in January and 8.5% in December.
I posted Gallup numbers once before and I think everyone said they're not that reliable or didn't mean that much.Uh oh?
Uh oh?
Uh oh?
Uh oh?
This is why Gallup's numbers are a poor metric: employment and the seasonal adjustment.
Click on the graph.
Actually, there are several reasons. But the fact that they don't seasonally adjust means there's no good way to read their data. It will be noisy and not correlated with adjusted data.

Meanwhile, they are resorting to *snicker* calling a Harvard Law Professor radical and a simple hug an endorsement of radicalism.
I love how it is just presumed that Derrick Bell is bad. No argument necessary. I had a textbook written by Bell in law school. In Texas. Not exactly a hotbed of radicalism. One of the best textbooks I read, too.
how can you just ignore the fact that he isn't white!?
A reuters survey today morning did talk about economists feeling UE increasing over summer due to seasonal adjustments.
Which is why I'm confident Obama will not be re-elected

The recovery is too weak, and there are too many potential land mines for democrats. Today the house put us steps closer to another govt shut down, gas prices are still ridiculous, Iran/Israel are a major problem, etc.
As UE rises again I expect people to turn on Obama. He's had his four years and didn't get it done - at least, that's what most voters will argue
plus he spawned CharlieYou're not missing anything.
Surprisingly, portraying a president on TV did not grant Mr. Sheen amazing insight about politics.
But he did bring the hilaristupid -
"I wonder how many of those progressives are black? How many of those progressives understand historically what happened?"
p.s.
The West Wing sucks.
