Remember, WP. The fabricated evidence used to justify the US invading a sovereign nation, was called a "slam dunk", and the man in charge of the fabrication received a medal of motherfucking freedom and the entire world hated us.

Then some uppity black man talks about stuff like dignity, peace, empathy, pride, geneva conventions, and not killing people 400x times over, and suddenly people think the US is almost like kinda cool again?

How dare these dirty Europeans try to tell the rest of the world who's ideas are worthy of attention and who's (the neocons) are nothing but evil, stinking, pustulating piles of dogshit.


Oh... and free market, and liberty, and the constitution, and neolibs or something. But anyway, yeah, Rachel Maddow is a lesbian with stupid hair.

Slam dunk indeed - excellent journalism.

Comment hidden because you are ignoring dag. (show it anyway)

Slam dunk Mr. Moyers. katharine Weymouth should resign. *promote

Q The President -- you said a couple of days ago that Americans are concerned and anxious as the President about the deficit, and they have a right to be. The President says it keeps him asleep at night. The polls also indicate --

MR. GIBBS: Keeps him awake.

Q Keeps him awake, I'm sorry. (Laughter.)

MR. GIBBS: Fox is what puts him to sleep. (Laughter.)

Q Ooooh!

MR. GIBBS: Sorry, I just -- I couldn't resist.

Q Slam dunk. (Laughter.)

MR. GIBBS: I try, I try.

Q He just means it's the last thing he watches before he goes to bed.

Q He gets to throw the ball.

MR. GIBBS: Exactly, exactly. (Laughter.)

edit:
Even if you're a fan of fox news .. you have to give Gibbs credit for actually catching and processing every word of questions asked. It means he's actively listening and not trying to parse his next answer. I think they picked the right guy.

>> ^HoRnO:
Football rules state that a proper throw-in is when a player has both feet
on the ground with the ball held with both hands behind the head. Both hands must be on the ball until it is released, and the feet must not leave the ground during the throw-in.


Football rules? That sort of looks like a basketball being thrown into a basketball hoop on an indoor basketball court. Your feet do not need to be firmly planted in basketball. For instance, the slam dunk and the jump shot.

Chilaxe, are you saying that every day every single citizen in China
experiences repression from their government, and if some of them
manage to go a few days every week without feeling the government's
jackboot on their necks then they don't live in a police state?
Actual repressive acts don't have to happen every day in order to feel
repressed; it's the ever-present FEAR that attends your daily life
that causes repression more than anything else.

I can tell you right now that I'm outright scared of cops in this
country, because they have the right to assault you to death with
their tasers or other weapons, almost always without repercussions.
The exceptions to this rule are generally the ones where video
evidence was available to prove police assault, but even then it's not
a slam dunk. Just ask Rodney King.

Just because we don't have men in SS uniforms patrolling the streets
with sub-machine guns doesn't mean we don't have a police state. And
yes, I already said we still have freedom of speech. So right now
we're still free to speak about police brutality until we're blue in
the face, while another Robert Mitchell gets killed by taser-happy
pigs. Yes, we're totally free, aren't we?

It's comical how the same people who complain about Fox can watch this clip and declare victory. This host is almost as bad as stuff I've seen from Fox.

Anyway, here's what I got from the interview:
- Not sure about violence. Yes, a lot of it stems from prohibition, and logic dictates that legalizing pot would make most of that go away, but it's hard to ignore the 60-70% correlation with violent offenders - wouldn't the criminals doing this for profit want to be clean, and leave the drug usage to the customers?

- Legalizing would increase use. (California's "medicinal" shops)

- Increased use brings increased costs associated with health care and addiction which would offset any tax benefits.

I'm not saying Walters is the victor, but it's far from a slam dunk for the legalization camp.

Haha, Kansas fails again.

I love listening to this guy talk, he has a wonderful british accent and a nice delivery too.

Things like pointing out that the 'slam dunk' the creationist nutjobs think they have in a banana being but actually a man made creation are just gold

"Who's dad is that?"
The guy trying to sodomize him at the end if i had to guess...

"The first lady with a butt." Oh man. Rims, ok. Oprah, no. Dr Dre, yes. Late for inauguration, moan. Kool Aid, hilarious. Pitbulls, NO. Ears, "yes we can!" Slam dunk... okay, I'm going to stop now.

How about greatest slam dunk never.

>> ^Oblyvious:
You know that he is out for the rest of the season with an injury due to that dunk.


Stop calling it a dunk. The ball needs to come near, if not actually INTO the hoop for a dunk...
