But I’m not arguing. I’m just a little confused on if Pentagon budgets are classified differently from supplemental packages. » Posted By Khirad On January 31, 2012 @ 4:33 am Indeed, and when it is further ferreted out to add up the discretionary spending going toward the military and MIC I’ve seen them come out relatively equal – though I can’t recall where I saw that, so that could be wrong, as well. » Posted By Khirad On January 31, 2012 @ 2:20 am BLR – Ron Paul https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=igQlbesF0zA BLR – Newt

And then there’s those Oregon jerseys… » Posted By Khirad On January 31, 2012 @ 12:50 am Of course, but he does aim to replace this guy– [img]http://www.eurthisnthat.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/02/congressman-chinese-tiger-suit-rep-david-wu.jpg[/img] And it’s not technically Portland, but part of it (Blumenauer has the mostly Portland seat). The district is home to many of Oregon’s largest and best-known private employers: Intel, Nike, Columbia Sportswear, Solarworld and Genentech. The district is also home to the state’s richest man, Phil Knight, whose fortune Forbes pegs at greater than $12 billion, and to Columbia Sportswear CEO Tim Boyle, whose company stock is worth more than $700 million. Thanks to redistricting, most of the tony Pearl District and Southwest Portland, the city’s wealthiest section, is in the district. (The special election will be run using the existing boundaries. The new lines will take effect beginning with the 2012 primary.) So, a Republican, even if it is a Portland area one, has a bit of a shot. Then again, For Republicans, capturing the 1st District is harder than winning the governor’s office. Oregon last elected a GOP governor in 1982, but the 1st District has not sent a Republican to Congress since 1972. Even after a 2004 Oregonian investigation of Wu’s alleged date rape of a college girlfriend, he defeated GOP challenger Goli Ameri by 20 percentage points. » Posted By Khirad On January 30, 2012 @ 10:33 pm For some reason I’d totally missed the Nazi thing.

» Posted By Khirad On January 30, 2012 @ 3:49 pm Brewer Has History Of Getting Facts Wrong » Posted By Khirad On January 30, 2012 @ 3:04 pm When one is running as a Republican in Portlandia, one must choose colors such as soft green and blue for your signs and actively seek the Colbert bump. That, if nothing else, is hilarious. The problem with this guy is that it might be more funny if I thought the smugness were an act.
» Posted By Khirad On January 30, 2012 @ 2:28 pm And as such I feel like a minority within a minority and I won’t be quiet either! 🙂 I hear some prominent fundamentalist atheists (as with any group my only problem is with fundies) say some really stupid shit about agnostics and putting words in our mouths–and basically being incredibly simplistic as if we don’t affirm or deny a specific god. Really? Did you hear us say specific God X or Y? No! it’s much more abstract than that you disingenuous, obtuse, literalist douchenozzles (and here I’m just referencing the fundamentalist atheists, again). My own beliefs as an agnostic are actually pretty similar with KT’s Taoism. I don’t deny there might be such a force, and I’m spiritual. Truth is, I rather like the idea of it, even if it’s not factually true. And what’s wrong with that? Do artists only deal with fact? Does art and poetry still not move and nourish you? In the end when I butt heads with a lot of fundamentalist atheists I really think the subtext it comes down to more is a right vs. left brain conflict. They are guided by linear reasoning, me, by creative inspiration and feeling. » Posted By Khirad On January 30, 2012 @ 1:30 pm He broadly generalizes and takes the most irritatingly literal interpretations to ironically attack a whole group of people as stupid. One thing his ilk and fundies share in common is their complete lack of thoughtful textual analysis. It’s entirely counterproductive unless after berating people for being idiots you think you’re actually helping your cause. I’d rather take more subtle stands and plant seeds of doubt or questions in their mind. Or at least wait for them to get obnoxious and damn me to hell before I strike back. Otherwise, it just makes you the bully. » Posted By Khirad On January 29, 2012 @ 7:06 pm Ergo, defining yourself by what you aren’t. Why do you need to fight religion, broadly speaking? What’s the harm in people believing god exists? If a religious person leaves you to your non-belief, and you don’t need to convince them, what’s the harm in people believing or not believing what they want? The moment anyone would declare a religious OR atheist state I would fight. As an agnostic I value religious freedom and freedom from religion as the same battle, and can sometimes see the most virulent advocates of religion and atheism as two sides of the very same obnoxious, self-righteous coin. » Posted By Khirad On January 29, 2012 @ 7:00 pm I agree this guy was such a complete idiot, and I mean that objectively, in a non-partisan way, that he made Kennedy look informative. My lord. Dana Rohrabacher Gets Lectured For Lying on HBO’s Real Time with Bill Maher I would have taken on Maher with Kennedy on atheism though, though I wouldn’t call it a religion per se. It is a belief system though, and not merely the absence of religion. After all, how many atheists do you know that say, sure, I’ll take communion, it means nothing to me? I would. Cause it doesn’t, so what does it hurt to play along with those whom it does mean something to? For all atheists that aren’t anti-theist, give up and come join me: just call yourselves agnostics. Like it or not the term atheism is forever tainted with bitterness and douche-itude à la Maher. It’s Saturday, I’ve had a few, I’m just lettin’ it fly. For those that want to rag on me for watching, it’s on before Portlandia and there’s nothing else on Friday, so why not. » Posted By Khirad On January 28, 2012 @ 8:18 pm » Posted By Khirad On January 28, 2012 @ 2:42 pm I’m related too. Though more distant. » Posted By Khirad On January 27, 2012 @ 5:31 pm Keef Ablow-me has some real winners over his disillustrious FOX career. Yes, this coming from the same guy FREAKED out over moms painting their little boy’s nails in a catalog, and “The Gay” in general. A typical chauvinist dial-an-“expert”. » Posted By Khirad On January 27, 2012 @ 3:09 pm You’d think it would be great grandson… 84, huh? I need to get out the calculator on this one. » Posted By Khirad On January 27, 2012 @ 3:06 pm Australia Day turns ugly » Posted By Khirad On January 27, 2012 @ 2:08 am Apt analogy. I also just got done reading an intriguing book written by a social anthropologist and expert of Iranian culture. The takeaway is that ours is a culture of making accommodations (typically in our favor, of course), theirs, a Revolutionary one with a painful history of concessions to foreign powers where even appearing to make concessions is the kiss of death politically. Similarly, you will see them strike back saying they are doing just fine, don’t need Europe, and will even try to ban oil sales there. This is them comically trying to save face. It should be clear by their own insistence otherwise and this new overture to talk that sanctions are biting with the spiraling of the Iranian rial. Of course, talks will likely fail again, because officials in both countries don’t understand the other culture. At least that was the main thesis of the book. It may not be that simple, but both countries have made plenty of faux pas for decades which always seem to scuttle any steps forward. Point being, Iranians don’t like being dictated to, and we don’t like being strung along as if we were haggling in a bazaar. » Posted By Khirad On January 26, 2012 @ 9:45 pm [img]https://fbcdn-sphotos-a.akamaihd.net/hphotos-ak-snc7/s320x320/407716_2813016879451_1079646123_32361409_450339359_n.jpg[/img] » Posted By Khirad On January 25, 2012 @ 9:00 pm When is the media going to demand that Obama release his college transcripts? I hope they realize that I could turn that question right back around at them. » Posted By Khirad On January 25, 2012 @ 8:53 pm And on the other end, vocational options. Not all kids are headed to be teachers or getting an MBA and you know what? That’s okay. In fact, it’s necessary as countries still hum along from skilled labor. That’s where the community colleges also play a part. Otherwise this was nonsense. He was simply saying states should take the challenge, he wasn’t proposing national law, and indeed Bush said similar when he was president and Texas takes away your driver’s license if you drop out. Talk about TYRANNY! No, this was just Obama again demonstrating why he should just adopt the whole GOP Platform. Then they’d oppose themselves on everything. » Posted By Khirad On January 25, 2012 @ 8:50 pm Republicans vow to protect high school dropouts from Barack Obama » Posted By Khirad On January 25, 2012 @ 8:20 pm Indeed, or 70’s gay porn.
