  1. Just got done reading it. Definitely a quick read, but I do think the overall structure of the book has some commentary built into it. I liked it. It was far from being my favorite book, but hell, it was pretty entertaining. I'd say that, while not even close to his best, it was worth the read.

  3. Royal Tenenbaums sucked
  4. http://blogs.orlandosentinel.com/news_spac...-delay-moo.html http://news.slashdot.org/article.pl?sid=08/04/12/0433208 My biggest problem: he claims he is going to stop pork, but his website says he's only going to make it transparent. He claims he's for fiscal responsibility, yet he doesn't have ways to pay for all the things he wants to do. There were other examples I picked up on during the debates (including some of his being against negative campaigning while engaging in it) that I can't remember off-hand. One example not related to his website: He claims his ideas are for "change", but outside of a few exceptions, are similar to the Democratic party platform, and his voting record indicates that he typically always falls directly in like with them. Which is the image that Obama has created, quite frankly a pretty good one for the political environment (and is why McCain is also popular at the moment, though since he has a long political history he's at a disadvantage). Of course, the biggest part of the problem is that people keep voting for the same policy ideas from the same people, instead of voting for candidates outside of the mainstream and forcing the mainstream to change. 'Tis why I'm not going to vote for any of the "big 3".

  6. I would disagree - I think the Clinton's do too, but they set those aside to chase poll numbers. In contrast, the image that Obama has developed for himself depends on him portraying some strongly held beliefs, so he doesn't.
  7. Thats *exactly* my point: this idea that he's "different" from politicians isn't correct.
  8. He seems to tell people what they want to hear in certain situations, even if it contradicts previous statements. I don't really see how that makes him all that different from McCain or most candidates.
  9. Obama doesn't talk outside of both sides of his mouth? In Florida, he's for NASA funding; outside of Florida, he's against it. He supported the good reverend, then had to denounce him after "shocking" comments (which weren't anything new). His talk doesn't match up with his plans on his website. Oh, and: http://www.slate.com//id/2189485
  10. Hell, Bill Clinton tried to do that with his triangulation strategy.
  11. Has he done anything to prove this, or is this based off of a feeling you have about him?
  12. From my understanding of it, the NFL Management Council sets the rules on the number of players on a roster, not the NFLPA. http://query.nytimes.com/gst/fullpage.html...75BC0A964948260
  13. And you believe Obama is the BEST to enact the issues that are important to you? How do you get that? What has he really done to prove that?
  14. I heard it was 2005 Abercrombie and Fitch
  15. At least he gets the opportunity to get in a girl's bed.
  16. The VNS actually called it for Gore early, and incorrectly reported poll closing times, which suppressed the Bush vote. The organization was disbanded and blown up, switched to the NEP, which was using new methodology to do exit polling and results (which was completely disorganized and inaccurate), and then switched back to a reformed version of the VNS.
  17. You got white ones? sh--, mine are pink.
