It follows that if one does not have the ability of critical thinking to recognize what a shallow, ignorant poser Palin is, then such a person would necessarily continue to show a lack of critical thinking on anything and everything Palin says and does. » Posted By AdLib On December 4, 2009 @ 6:10 am I have one question…what am I doing up this early? BTW Kalima, you’re doing a great job with Morning/Daily Blog! » Posted By AdLib On December 4, 2009 @ 6:05 am Morning javaz! Did you get my other email? » Posted By AdLib On November 20, 2009 @ 7:40 am Senate Majority Leader Reid Healthcare Bill Passes Test with Very Good CBO Score I think this has to be the battle for the Democratic Party to define itself as a party that can wield power for the benefit of Americans. In my mind, this vote in the Senate really is do or die for the Dems having a valid argument to retain power. If they pass this bill, the Dems could cement their control of Congress for decades. If they fail, they will see their grass roots and financial support decline hugely…to the benefit of the GOP. For that reason, and I’m not a big fan of Reid at all, Reid sure as hell better play hardball with all Blue Dogs and belligerent Dems, if they don’t at least vote for cloture to break the Repub filibuster, they will lose their chairmanships and political and financial support from the Dem-controlled PACs and the DNC. This is fourth and goal and they must get that ball over the goal line or they will lose big. » Posted By AdLib On November 18, 2009 @ 11:13 pm New Event: Live Roundtable – “The Weekly Planet” That’s why I think she would be fun for The Weekly Planet but not worthy of being taken seriously in Debate Night Live. And the comedic material about her just writes itself. » Posted By AdLib On November 18, 2009 @ 11:05 pm Wow, another great topic! Though Progressives can be very infuriating in the way they often snatch defeat from the jaws of victory, they are strikingly different from Republicans in that they are confident enough for self-examination and criticism. The only self-criticism the GOP has is for those who are not small minded and hateful enough. » Posted By AdLib On November 18, 2009 @ 11:04 pm I would really like that as a Debate Night Live topic, may be hard finding someone to take the pro-Death Penalty side though. » Posted By AdLib On November 18, 2009 @ 10:59 pm Taking that concept even farther into the future, as their economy matures, might China be the main global superpower and the U.S. trapped financially beneath them? » Posted By AdLib On November 18, 2009 @ 10:58 pm That’s a strong news item from this week. The Reid bill moving forward is also a big story. » Posted By AdLib On November 18, 2009 @ 10:56 pm Sarah Palin is a virtual cornucopia of comedic material, how can we resist chatting about her? » Posted By AdLib On November 18, 2009 @ 10:53 pm I know, I was just trying to show that even anatomy-based insults are equal opportunity. 😉 » Posted By AdLib On November 18, 2009 @ 1:55 pm Bingo! » Posted By AdLib On November 18, 2009 @ 1:43 pm Or a Jack Ass? » Posted By AdLib On November 18, 2009 @ 1:42 pm Then again, people who are jerks like Cheney are called “Dick”s. » Posted By AdLib On November 18, 2009 @ 1:21 pm Heh! Just as “Man down!” does. » Posted By AdLib On November 18, 2009 @ 1:18 pm It only helps the Dems to keep having Cheney, Rove and all those assholes who destroyed the economy and military of our nation in the Bush Admin to stay front and center. No matter what complaints someone may have with things under Obama, the more they’re reminded of the hell it was under a Republican president only helps to ensure that they’ll be voting Dem in 2010. » Posted By AdLib On November 18, 2009 @ 12:33 pm Exactly, it’s all about building greater traffic at HP’s site, that’s how they make money. I think they’ve hit a plateau. Big isn’t good enough when it comes to corporations, you have to increase quarterly revenues forever. So, they have to keep getting bigger and bigger but the laws of logic say that as big as they are now, increases will be diminishing in proportion to existing revenues. There are only so many bloggers out there so of course they’re chasing the troll demographic and others, they’ve pretty much topped out on Progressives who want to blog and are willing to do it at HuffPo. » Posted By AdLib On November 18, 2009 @ 12:28 pm This is where Arianna and the hedge fund owners of HP really have their “heart”. They are all about money and seem oblivious to the fact that their editorial obsession with money exposes their greed. Those in a bubble think their perceptions and desires are naturally shared by everyone else. Thus, the heavy focus over there on Wall Street, Geithner, AIG, etc. and the plethora of stories posted there from Murdoch’s WSJ. What other alleged progressive site would be a regular publisher of stories from a clearly right wing slanted Rupert Murdoch paper? And present them as they would an honest news article? No, they have blown their cover, they are money-obsessed wealthy people who live, breathe and eat money. The facade of progressiveness is just a tool to make more money from the earnest Progressives out there who they treat like suckers. » Posted By AdLib On November 18, 2009 @ 12:23 pm They may have some financial arrangement with Facebook but it wouldn’t be anywhere near as profitable as when they have the same traffic at their site. Facebook isn’t exactly needy when it comes to traffic. I think it is all about burrowing themselves deeply into their members’ lives and squeezing more time and clicks out of them at every opportunity. A so-called Progressive site which wants to be Big Brother. Sad, indeed. » Posted By AdLib On November 18, 2009 @ 12:15 pm Oh, while we’re on the subject of what KQ calls, Bankington Post, the top story right now is again about Wall Street but it is a broadly positive one, completely undermining all of the Empress’ ragging about the economy. I guess her next column will be about how Obama, Geithner, The Fed and Warren Buffet have finally and obviously taken her advice on how to fix the economy. » Posted By AdLib On November 18, 2009 @ 12:10 pm My understanding is that they don’t allow any comments at their Facebook page so that wouldn’t work. They get too much money from traffic at their site, no way they would hand it all over to Facebook…which is no doubt why they don’t want people spending their time commenting over there. » Posted By AdLib On November 18, 2009 @ 12:03 pm I know you love words as much as I do. I agree about the basis of the word though I do think it has evolved into something more generic, just meaning “coward”. It’s even applied to women nowadays which kind of makes that point. And the reverse is true too, didn’t Hillary’s camp declare during the primary something to the effect of her having “testicular fortitude”? » Posted By AdLib On November 18, 2009 @ 11:56 am Agreed on the archaic and chauvinistic concept that being like a woman means being weak. But I’m sure you’d agree that sissy is simply and commonly used nowadays as a synonym of “coward”, even if the word’s origin or previous use was different. » Posted By AdLib On November 18, 2009 @ 9:20 am Yep, they’re all so macho about going to war but terrified of a “terarist” even though he’s all locked and jailed up. Calling Republicans sissies is slander upon the name of sissies everywhere. » Posted By AdLib On November 18, 2009 @ 12:41 am I think you’re right on the money about people skimming the article just to have enough to start writing comments. It is all about diving in the mix there, HuffPo is often just a muddy mosh pit for people to knock each other by throwing their insults and opinions around. That’s the “sport” over there for far too many and those making thoughtful or witty-but-pertinent points are just disregarded as amateurs…because that’s not what the game’s all about there in the minds of many. Huffy’s not about thoughtful discussion or debate, it’s too often just an immature game of blog-style dodge ball. » Posted By AdLib On November 17, 2009 @ 3:47 pm This is what we need to be doing to turn job losses around, investing in manufacturing and setting up green technology. I know the Stimulus did provide funds for this but we should be pursuing it like this country did the race to the moon. If we can invent the best green technology, the world will be beating a path to our door…getting there in hybrids of course. » Posted By AdLib On November 17, 2009 @ 3:40 pm Did he mention what blood impulse, due to a Texan Father, drives someone to start an unnecessary nightmare of a war and bankrupt a nation, causing a global economic meltdown? Didn’t think so. » Posted By AdLib On November 17, 2009 @ 3:38 pm I would add a 4th, financial reform and regulation in banking\Wall Street practices including more equitable pay between employees and those at the top. » Posted By AdLib On November 17, 2009 @ 3:34 pm Except for trolls! Once the Dow hit 10,000, even though I don’t think we’re in a true recovery, I smiled at the trolls jabbering on right after Obama was elected and crowing every time the market went down that it was all Obama’s fault (and that the Dow would drop to 4,000 or less). Kinda odd they’re not talking about the Dow anymore, huh? » Posted By AdLib On November 17, 2009 @ 3:31 pmComments Posted By AdLib
