I saw nothing wrong with either Hamilton's Terminator hang up, or Ringwald's Pretty in Pink one. The first one, she's supposed to be scared for her life, and the second's "see you at school" is close enough to goodbye for my sensibilities. The ones with versions of "love you" is fine for that sort of call too.

I personally end all my calls with "YIPPE KI YAY, MOTHERFUCKER!"

Doesn't go over too well with my mom though.

Okay, I'll throw my testicles into the ring. First, Amanda Marcotte is a staunch feminist and modern liberal. Not that there's anything wrong with that, but it's important to note when considering the source of the above article. Not sure why DFT is posting it here as if it was anything but a biased article.

Second, I like how NetRunner tried to completely disqualify GeeSussFreeK's comment by pointing out I'm not part of the national media. That was classic. Apparently NR has never heard of BNN. It's only the smallest national news outlet in all the world.

Third, and most importantly, why does the Democratic fight against "privatization" take precedence over their fight against the civil rights violations? Honestly this comes back to bipartisanship. Going along with the party and all that.

The truth is the TSA is under the purview of the Obama Administration so it opens this entire discourse up to bipartisan rhetoric, and that's all we're seeing here with NR and DFT. I believe if the porno-scanners and the enhanced gate rape pat downs were implemented under the McCain Administration (shudder) then the Republicans would be saying the exact same shit the Democrats are saying now, "These are the times we live in" and "The number one priority is safety" and so on.

And the Democrats would be in the streets protesting them for their civil rights violations. What hypocrisy. Where are our civil liberties loving Democrats? Oh, that's right, they're too busy defending their saintly leader to fight the good fight. Maybe later when a Republican gets in office we'll see the "Party of Peace" rear their pretty Code Pink faces again. Wouldn't that be something?

Clinton not treated with kid gloves? Have you forgotten that Michael Issikof, the Newsweek magazine editor who had all the facts of Clinton's Lewinski doings, spiked and covered up the story to protect him - until it was exposed by Matt Drudge? And the many interviews with Billary, in which she was allowed to say it was all the doings of a 'vast right-wing conspiracy' and the hosts all smiled and nodded? The "Pretty in Pink" press conference? Hillary being allowed to get away with saying nothing but "I can't recall" during her grand jury testimony about the mysterious documents that proved ill business doings that remained hidden in her office until AFTER the stature of limitations had expired? Clinton blaming the torching of the Davidian compound on Janet Reno and the media accepting it without question? Clinton ordering Peter Jennings - "Don't go there!" (using the same finger-wagging) at the first hint of questioning his legacy? http://newsbusters.org/node/7882 I could go on and on. But all of it - conveniently forgotten - by the left.

And you (saying "you" as a general descriptor of those in favor of the political left) are still going back to the root of your Bush hate - "His brother was governor of Florida in 2000".

You still think the election was 'stolen' from you. Gore demanded and got over three recounts - and he lost them all. Yet you still think you were robbed. I guess it all goes back to that. You think the only way Republicans can possibly win is by cheating and stealing. It couldn't possibly be that they're better at persuading the American people. It couldn't possibly be that people didn't want to elect Gore. It couldn't possibly be any of those things - could it? After all - no intelligent person would vote Republican - would they? They have to have been tricked - or disenfranchised - or discriminated against. That's the only possible way Gore could have lost.

How convenient indeed.

Thanks to Gore's arrogant refusal to accept his rejection, he started the current trend of Democrats running to the cameras after they lose elections and demanding recounts because they can't accept defeat in the arena of ideas.

Gore got less votes. He lost. In order to overcome that simple truth, the left has to come up with conspiracies of voter fraud, intimidation, discrimination, butterfly ballots, hanging chads, and now malfunctioning voting machines. And the rumblings are already starting among the left, gathering teams of lawyers to 'contest' the upcoming mid-term elections in case they lose those, because they are no longer sure they'll win.

College football rivalry? You're still cheering for the team that lost in 2000.

In the sound bites from this press conference, Bush the 'dumb cowboy hick' spanks the insolent reporters using the "war in Iraq created more terrorist" line. Not only that - the President of Afghanistan himself stomps on them as well. But what does he know, right?
