Actually I like this one better than the other one. This one seems to change color and you also get a good sense of scale at the end there with the hand.

So how are things going with Scientology these days? Are they still as powerful as ever, or have they fallen a bit?

It is awesome that Don LaFontaine is getting so much recognition.

I really want to believe that most of the country sees just what a horrible choice she is aside from the one fact that she's a woman... still, it seems when I hear people talk about her, they have blinders on...

Perhaps true netrunner, but again, are we claiming that the Democrats are somehow "well-behaved?" This is totally out of left field, but to give an example about how ANY politician is probably a douche the deeper down you dig, Edwards was just the poster boy for clean-cut and now he's wallowing in an affair (and possible bastard child) just like all the people from which we thought he was so different.

My point is that if we are going to talk about insensitivity, wastefulness, and being "out of touch" it will be VERY hard to find an actually sincere politician in the American scene.

Its kind of an asinine story. I mean, don't get me wrong, McCain and Palin are going to finish off the country over the next 8 years because a majority of the people in the country seem not to have had enough of Republican rule.... however... is this news story somehow insinuating that the Democrats wouldn't have partied it up if the conventions were swapped?

I mean, let's take it a step further... I'm pretty sure that the democrats spent millions upon millions of dollars for last weeks convention which amounted to nothing more than a party (there was not boost to Obama's polls as a result), meanwhile countless Americans are losing their homes to foreclosures, lack health-care, and are otherwise in dire-straights. Why not just use the insane amount of money spent to something actually constructive rather than what amounted to a three day infomercial?

To summarize, all politicians are guilty of spending the taxpayers money on unnecessary stuff. Democrats and Republicans alike. Let's not even get into the fact that politicians can vote themselves raises (and seem to all the time). If this country really does want reform, we have to tear down the two party system period.
