You can tell that Norris was active in debate when he pursued his Rhodes Scholarship at Oxford. It almost plays as well in transcript form:

KING: Chuck Norris, fair or unfair?

NORRIS: It's very unfair. You know, the whole thing is, three months ago, Mike lit a spark that turned into raging fire. The press calls it a surge and the radio calls it the Huckaboom. I call it Mike getting his message out to the people in America, who are liking what they're hearing from Mike.

And I told Mike, I said Mike, be -- get ready, because the dirt's going to start flying.

HUCKABEE: Yes.

NORRIS: And I said because any time you get up there and you become a threat to Romney or Giuliani, the dirt is going to fly from every direction. I've been -- you know, in the entertainment field, I've done that. That's why I would never run for politics, Larry...



NORRIS: ...because I'd be choking every opponent unconscious.

Thanks very much. I love having 7 videos in the queue. It makes me feel like I'm pulling a fast one on SiftBot.

I will admit that the clause in the law relating to the Internet had an old-person "what in the hell is all this internets?" vibe to it. However, not all law enforcement measures are presumptively bad as people who break things and hurt different people do, in fact, still exist. But I have worked on that side of the fence and I do claim a bias.

And I will also note that the internet was the second or third best method of drug cartel money laundering (depending on where you slot black market peso exchange) until the federal ML laws were tightened a few years ago and PayPal and similar transfer systems were squeezed and scrunched a little bit by the Feds.

Currently, if you really wish to launder illicit funds, I recommend a hawala.

Hitchens disembowels that moronic Romney speech in the most delightful way here - http://www.slate.com/id/2179404/

Once you get beyond the inherent strangeness of the Book of Mormon, though, Romney has very few political negatives, a very good organization, and the ability to mold his public image like Play-Doh. Scary.

I am still pinning my hopes on Bloomberg running as an Independent. Sorry, Church of Ron Paul @ VS.

Freedom ultimately requires a perverse sort of faith in the social compact that is more secular humanist than Southern Baptist, or Mormon, or Roman Catholic, or Scientological . . .

I think that you are all overreacting to this bill.

It doesn't add any new law enforcement powers beyond the already wildly expansive USA PATRIOT. It provides for a nice Commission, and an eventual Report, and perhaps one day a beautiful Center and seems to be an "earmark" project for California rather than the end of civil liberties as we knew them. Hell, federal agencies are not even required to turn over materials to the Commission. Good luck . . .

The key language in the First Amendment is "the right of the people peaceably to assemble." As far as I know, the Politics channel is not cooking plots of violent overthrow of the American system, the War on Terror channel can be withering toward US Policy but Cheney deserves it, and dag is only mailing shirt bombs to the Resistance (for now).

It is simply not traitorous to be opposed to those persons who would foment riot and worse via actions AND words. The First Amendment protects citizens precisely from that situation and this bill does not alter the 1st Amd.

Romney is going to be the GOP nominee precisely because he stands for nothing. Extremely smart and good on his feet as this interview demonstrates.

And another thing-

Although the median statistics of VS would indicate that most of us are well-educated, strangely beautiful with our ovoid heads, male, mid-40s, and 230 pounds (wii is not a substitute for diet and exercise), we mustn't forget that there are actually 12 year olds here.

I remember hating me some Sinbad (the comedian) when I was young and itchy and furious. And I would rage against those who would give Sinbad a stage or a major network platform.

Maybe Gervais is just a paunchy white version of Sinbad to drowned.

I was just glad to see that Karl Pilkington finally joined up...

'Sick'is so good...and Flanagan was indeed funny,and wry, and heroic in a way that only a man who pounded nails through his penis for his art could be.
