Displaying 91 To 120 Of 132 Comments Her atrocious grammar is nothing compared to the insane lack of any attempt to observe basic logic. It seems that there is a massive movement stoked in part by Palin, but masterminded by Rove, and executed by GWB. This movement is a direct assault on logic. Examples: * (RE: Health care bill) There will be death panels designed to kill elderly people. This is an “Appeal to Belief”, “Appeal to Emotion”, and an “Appeal to Fear” all rolled into one. * The health care bill will cost us a fortune, therefore we should not support the public option: “False Dilemma”. Oh forget it. I give up. I can take nearly every single statement made by modern (pseudo) Republicans and they all fail a logic test in one way or another. How are we going to fight this onslaught? » Posted By FrankenPC On February 28, 2010 @ 7:27 pm I love the Hello Kitty AK-47. Perfect. » Posted By FrankenPC On February 25, 2010 @ 5:51 pm The very sad and complicated story of Mercy the Cat True. And that disorder can be diagnosed early as well. Too bad psychiatrists are not accessible to the average income earner. That is until it’s too late and something like this happens. Again…priorities. Look what’s happened to the health bill. Bye bye. » Posted By FrankenPC On February 18, 2010 @ 2:09 pm Anyone who cruelly abuses animals are instantly profiled to be a sociopath with possible borderline personality disorder and/or homicidal tendencies. Classic serial murderer. So, it’s PROBABLY a good thing he offed himself. For societies sake. Sad but true. But, for sake of argument, let’s abstract the term “innocent” from the word kitten. It’s usually the concept of innocence that freaks most people out. But, keep in mind: this guy was probably seriously abused while HE was an innocent child. So, do we go to his dad and string him up as well? How about his dad’s dad? How about a society that TRULY doesn’t give a s**T about children.. like Americans don’t (I can back that assertion up by showing how Americans vote and spend their tax dollars). So, my statement is simply this: If you are one of the people saying “Burn the witch!!”, then you DAMN WELL better have dumped some money into taking care of troubled human children. Otherwise you are truly talking out your a**. Fix the source of the problem and you fix the downstream consequences. Period. » Posted By FrankenPC On February 18, 2010 @ 12:10 pm PROGRESSIVES AND THE DEMOCRATIC PARTY With all this corporate/party circle jerking going on, it’s amazing anyone has any time to actually screw us over. » Posted By FrankenPC On February 13, 2010 @ 12:17 pm Periodic Table of Dangerous Elements Kryon is the funniest dangerous element IMO. Perfectly named. » Posted By FrankenPC On February 3, 2010 @ 2:47 pm Palin asking for someone to resign because of a verbal gaff? A PRIVATE one at that? AHHHHH HAHAHAHA!!!!! What a hypocritical tool. I seriously dislike that crackpot corporate whore. » Posted By FrankenPC On February 3, 2010 @ 10:07 am Are We Really Liberals and Progressives? I would argue that Lincoln was a progressive. The idea of freedom for everyone was a VERY progressive idea. » Posted By FrankenPC On February 3, 2010 @ 3:07 pm My biggest complaint is this: He promised transparency. But, he never qualified WHAT was going to become transparent. I see that as a lie of omission. He never really intended to make the administration truly transparent. It appears that he is deciding for us what should be transparent. Here’s a few of the reasons for my assertion. * Geithner: We all want to know exactly what he adds as an adviser. Yet, after all this financial damage and distrust, we have no information as to WHY he was vetted for the position. And we all are asking why he is still there. * East Asian conflicts: Why, exactly, are we continuing a seemingly loosing battle? Nothing worth noting. Only the reports from the ground. And those reports look bad let alone the budget nightmare this is creating. * Too big to fail: Where is the main street help? Personally, I’m going under and I don’t see it. So, from a transparency perspective, why is that? Where is the main street support? What’s blocking that reform exactly? * Foreign policy: Where is the official foreign policy doctrine that we have never had? Ever. If he is making big foreign policy decisions, then there must be documentation guiding his decisions. Or is there? (NOTE: One of my biggest beefs with Republicants) FYI: I acknowledge that I’m missing some information. Or better stated, the information has successfully been obfuscated from reality by really bad mass media decisions. » Posted By FrankenPC On February 3, 2010 @ 6:19 pm Corporations Are People Too! by Dr. Suits I don’t get how anti-lobbying laws are any different than anti-racketeering laws. Same concept. Yet, one is on the books and the (truly surreal) supreme court does not see it. Why? » Posted By FrankenPC On January 24, 2010 @ 5:06 pm I agree with 99% of this post. I think it’s dead on. I disagree with: “And those so-called Progressives who want only to condemn Obama can kiss Rush Limbaugh » Posted By FrankenPC On January 20, 2010 @ 9:37 am Legalize Marijuana Use: State by State First and then Make it the Law of the Land One slight modification to the “marijuana is harmless” argument. As a long time user, I can say unequivocally that MJ use can lead to hangovers. There ARE withdraw symptoms. But, they last for only a few hours. Also, inhallation of a combusted product of any type is bad for your esophogous and can lead to throat cancer. It’s not MJ that’s the problem, it’s the high temp gas. Always USE a water pipe! » Posted By FrankenPC On January 24, 2010 @ 5:16 pm You look at a node of interest and double click on it. Then, a new relationship is born showing you how everything is connected. It’s handy to see a large overview of how connected a concept is in the web arena. That tells you who/what’s relevant and who/what is interested in a particular concept. One interesting search I did was on the relationship between Bush and Oil. Or Cheney and Halliburton. » Posted By FrankenPC On January 4, 2010 @ 2:04 pm You really want to trip out? Go to this link: http://www.touchgraph.com/TGGoogleBrowser.php?start=Obama%20year%20in%20review&signed=false It’s a JAVA relatinoship visualizer feeding off the Google API. Very cool stuff. » Posted By FrankenPC On January 2, 2010 @ 4:07 pm My sincere apologies. My tale is nowhere near as horrible as yours. But I think it’s appropriate. My cars have been broken into three times. I’ve lost several thousand dollars in audio gear to common gutter thieves. I swear, If I EVER catch a thief in the act, I’m going to send he/she to the emergency room. I’m so pissed off at these scumbags. So, what do we do collectively? We imprison pot smokers and let the true criminals go free. Remind me, what makes America so great again? » Posted By FrankenPC On January 1, 2010 @ 5:11 pm It’s clear to me the country went downhill as soon as the indigenous morons learned how to change channels on the TV. It’s getting worse. They now understand how to type and use the comment sections of blogs. What’s next? Actual reading comprehension? Why is no one putting a stop to this madness!!? » Posted By FrankenPC On January 1, 2010 @ 1:08 pm That’s awesome! I so happy for you! » Posted By FrankenPC On December 29, 2009 @ 6:00 pm In short, we need knights of virtue to police the land. Seriously, ultimate power corrupts ultimately. At this point, we are so corrupt we can’t even see how we are eating ourselves alive. Only a cleansing can cure this disease. How that will manifest itself…who knows. Most likely a massive environmental disaster. I wish I had optimism, but history shows that any optimism is poorly placed when it comes to large civilizations. Only a cleansing can do what needs to be done. All of this technology and we still have the Roman senate. How sad. » Posted By FrankenPC On December 24, 2009 @ 6:49 pm This is sad. I used to look up to AH. This is one grand lesson for everyone: Greed corrupts always. No one is exempt. » Posted By FrankenPC On December 14, 2009 @ 4:33 pm I’m actually pretty entertained by the comedy, entertainment, and green sections. I just skip past the front page. Nothing to see there. » Posted By FrankenPC On December 14, 2009 @ 4:30 pm It’s Time To Rethink Re-Instituting the Universal Draft Richard Pryor would argue that we need to send in an army of rednecks. There’s only one thing the terrorists are truly afraid of, and that’s rednecks. “Come on fellas, we’re going over there to clean their clocks.” » Posted By FrankenPC On December 13, 2009 @ 12:00 pm Isn’t it an international law that one country can’t topple another sovereign country? Isn’t that what Bush ordered in Iraq? The destruction of a sovereign nation? I don’t get how that is legal at all. » Posted By FrankenPC On December 13, 2009 @ 12:04 pm I’m a fan of Obama’s as well. And I know he welcomes rational discourse. That’s been his platform and his behavior since day one. My concern and the evidence I’ve seen so far is that there is very little rational anything going on in both floors. Regardless, in my mind, Mr. Obama’s intelligent meetings with Russia to unilaterally disarm the nuclear warheads and his rapid withdrawal of Bush’s planned anti-ballistic missile program from Europe is enough justification for the peace prize. He’s putting his best foot forward to any country that is still willing to speak to us after the last 8 years to propose peace. » Posted By FrankenPC On December 11, 2009 @ 2:19 pm Don’t Let the Perfect Be the Enemy of the OK: Vote Dem! I’m pretty upset with “business as usual” politicians in general. But, voting for a third party to show how disgruntled I am would only hand over control to Satan (Republicans). So, like a dutiful dog, I’ll keep voting Democrat because I have no other choice. I feel like I’m trapped like a rat on a sinking ship. » Posted By FrankenPC On December 9, 2009 @ 6:45 pm Yeah…exactly…what about Pakistan? It’s never going to end. » Posted By FrankenPC On December 9, 2009 @ 3:01 pm Finally, A Plan I Can Live With I agree. I finally felt a tinge of hope about this iteration of the plan. The weight of creating a new bureaucracy always brought to mind the cluster-f*** of the homeland security transition. I’ll pass. » Posted By FrankenPC On December 9, 2009 @ 11:52 am An Open Letter to Arianna, With Deep Sincerity I agree. Albeit sadly. I was commenting at HufPo back when there was a lot of meaningful discourse. I might add, everything seemed to go downhill during Obama’s race for presidency. That would seemingly indicate that the fantastic increase in traffic (and consequently advert dollars) may have corrupted the site. My 2 cents. » Posted By FrankenPC On December 8, 2009 @ 11:05 am As I commented in the “Open letter to Arriana” thread. Things simply went downhill during the the 2008 presidential race. I understand how much money enormous amounts of traffic can bring a site. It wouldn’t be shocking at all if the company behind HufPo simply couldn’t let that kind of money die down after Obama won. So, they sensationalized the site to garner more ad-hoc attention from the web. Wine is fine, but whiskey’s quicker. » Posted By FrankenPC On December 8, 2009 @ 11:10 am The New Face of the Senate Health Care Bill I would argue that what the entire Federal government is already a titanic Frankenstein monster. What we are looking at here is the bride of Frankenstein. And later, the children of Frankenstein. » Posted By FrankenPC On December 7, 2009 @ 6:13 pm Let’s talk NFL and health care Sort of lateral topic. But I think it’s obliquely relevant. A friend of mine in Arizona is living off social security. So are most of his neighbors. They cannot afford season tickets or even single tickets to the local stadium any longer. So, what do they do? Pool their resources and watch a broadcast on TV. My point is this: At some point, you will be left wondering who is actually watching the game? At some point, every single seat may be filled with a camera and that camera may be leased by one or more people. People are there…but not there. Health care is a lot like that. We no longer take part in the spectator sports with the unwashed masses. We are surgically separated via the internet, TV, email, etc. I think if we ACTUALLY still went to sporting events and took part in the Colosseum, we would feel more human and more in touch with the problems everyone are facing. Wow…that was oblique… » Posted By FrankenPC On December 7, 2009 @ 6:07 pmComments Posted By FrankenPC
