I'll have to check that out. Come to think of it, I have noticed that conservatives do sometimes tend to take obvious sarcasm, metaphor or irony literally. I hadn't noticed that as a trend before. Weird.

i just watched waiting for armageddon.......

1. i now understand where the sudden hysteria about nazi's came from .... the aryans persecuted the jews like multiculturalism, feminism, and atheism are persecuting the white christian male.... therefore "progressivism" is a total assault on white men because it seeks to include people of other races, genders, and creeds ... if we give pell grants and scholarships for hispanic women to go to college, there will be less room for white men.....

2. postmodernism is apparently the biggest threat to liberty... because the "postmodernist" doesn't take words literally, but rather digs for symbolism... so postmodern christians are more liberal and symbolic with their interpretation of the word of god, and literalism is dying out... these people aren't really christians... and when words lose their meaning, people die... postmodernism is killing people


all the women in this documentary seemed absolutely terrified. all the men seemed to have erections. my heart is screaming and shrinking and swelling and bleeding and leaking in the juxtaposition of all that fear and sadness and death and joy and repressed inappropriate arousal.

Double down!

someone private msg me when this is no longer promoted and I'll double down

Yeah, she is an idiot. I found this hysterical, what with the prom dress, overabundance of eyeshadow and an iq that seems to be dropping by the second. I tried to sift it but it was avoided like the plague. You might be able to sell it better than me, assuming you find humor in it in the first place.

The film puts a human face on the suffering and illustrates some of the newer and more insidious oil industry tactics. It's also a well made film.

If I'm already convinced and aware that the gas/oil industries are evil and are killing us all, is watching this going to benefit me?

... But don't take my word for it, i'm just a lowly sound engineer, local music promoter, and lifelong musician.


WELL! while we are trotting out our pedigrees, I'm just a lowly Grammy nominated sound engineer and you CAN take my word... not everything needs to "speak to me" or "touch my soul" sometimes it just makes me happy.

Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year to ya.

LOL

I noticed @gwiz665 got awarded twice for a #1 video the other day (points and badges).

I can only assume that it's not an error with @siftbot as such, but rather siftbot is cloning itself. By my calculations, if there were two of them awarding gwiz665 approx 6 days, 4 hours ago, and now there's approx 64 (power of 2 numbers are easier to work with here) awarding you, then siftbot is doubling in numbers roughly every 30 hours.

If this continues, the number of siftbots will outweigh the number of actual members in a little over 150 hours.

I find commercial media political analysis to be pretty stupid in general. They often get hung up on petty details, missing the important points, or perhaps not allowed to speak of important points for fear of scaring off corporate investors. I don't waste my time with either Olbermann (though I don't think he should have been booted off his network) or O'Reilly, although Maddow is pretty good. PBS, NPR and print media offer much deeper, more intellectual coverage, probably because they worry less about pleasing advertisers and can focus on doing their job.

The center is all very relative in our politics. Right of center Democrats who support common sense programs like health care are considered extremists; in the rest of the world, healthcare is a bipartisan issue. The American 'center' lies between right of center moderate dems, and batshit loonies like Sarah Palin on the right. It's not really a middle at all, it's more of a mean; a mean that shifts further and further to the right.

I challenge you to find a genuine liberal extremist who holds any political sway.

Anyway, I agree with Maher that being centrist for the sake of being centrist is a fools errand. It doesn't make you wise, intelligent or in any way independent. When you look at the agenda of the American right, it's easy to see that it is all based around sucking up to corporations. Cap and trade, corporate tax cuts, limiting social services, climate science "skepticism".... They offer nothing helpful to the average Joe. Once you cast a vote for corporatism, you lose the right to call yourself independent.

Anyway, the laptop is almost out of juice, so I'm going to cut this short...

It's hard to take an obviously biased [and somewhat insane] Bill Maher seriously. Maher hasn't been watchable for about 4 years now, and he's getting worse and worse. I understand the point you're trying to make, but as a person who truly stands in the middle, I see the extremes in both sides all the time, and that includes Olbermann. Unlike most, I actually DO watch Olbermann AND O'Riley. Well, not Olbermann anymore, but you get the point. I know you want to believe that everything Olbermann touches on is fact based, and everything O'Riley opines on is propaganda based, but that's not reality. There are times both make solid points, and there are times you can tell their <insert right/left> leaning opinions shine on their biased tendencies.

My voting record stands by the fact I call things as I see them, down the middle. In the last 5 Presidential elections, I've voted for 2 Republicans, 2 Democrats and 1 Independent.

A lot of people love to say they're down the middle, and they can see/hear both sides, but their slanted voting records show otherwise. I don't vote for parties, I vote for candidates, whether those votes end up being mistakes in the long run there is little I can do about, but the fact is, I'm one of the very few that actually does ride the fence. Quite a few of my friends, for example, claim the same...but their voting records show pure republican or pure democratic bias.

Maher has let his anti-religious lunacy get the better of him, and this is coming from an avid Hitchen's fan, who is also anti-religious. Hitchen's said it best when he mocked Maher's crowd for believing anything he says and laughing at any Bush joke he used. If I cared enough, going back to the beginning of the United States, I'd venture to say that I could find good things and bad things every single President has done, including Bush Jr and Obama.
