That's such a great song. I can't figure out why it's experienced such difficulty in getting sifted.

Philistines. A pain in the ass 3000 years ago; a pain in the ass now.

You just need to watch more kitteh videos Thanks

In reply to this comment by gorgonheap:
Congrats you two! I'm so happy I could cry if I didn't have a heart of stone and a permanent scowl on my face.

I'm like Big Foot. Sightings are rare and can never be confirmed. And if you tell people that you saw me, they'll all think you're crazy. Which they do anyway. So in your case, you have nothing to lose. Kind of like when the village idiot starts wanking in the town square. No one's really surprised.

So pull your pants up, for Christ's sake.

In reply to this comment by gorgonheap:
Awww, you do still love me. I'm glad to see your still around, even if we don't hear much from you.

I'm sorry I had the wrong embed, it's been corrected.

What water buffalo?

No need to apologize to me.. I think it worked out for the best, now I get to watch two Komodo dragon videos.
By the way, the father of a friend of mine fell asleep on a beach in Komodo, while the rest of the group (it was a wedding party) went hiking. When they got back he was still sleeping, and there were two dragons walking up the beach towards him. They were easily scared off... but I wonder if they would have gone for the goat curry (probably) or my friend's father (more interesting) first.

This has got to be the wrong video.. Notice the tags referring to sepsis brought on by a dragon's bite. Wonderful creatures.

I disagree. I know exactly how he as a person will vote. He was raised a in a poor family by a very strong, very liberal mother, never even knowing his father. He was also raised by Christian grandparents, who instilled in him a love for country and a burning idealism for how Americans can get things accomplished. He is a liberal, and votes his liberal conscious.

However whats great about Obama is that he is brilliant at a few key things which make people who recognize them very excited about his presidency. Lets see, I'll throw out three of them real fast... 1)selecting, managing and inspiring other brilliant people, 2)understanding and engaging both sides of an argument to fairly guide towards compromises that work, and 3)valuing American history, the Constitution and the founding spirit of 'anything is possible'. Towards the last point, I mean, he honestly believe he can get a huge squad of people who disagree together to form a plan to pull us safely from Iraq in 18 months, and another squad of people who disagree to form the beginnings of universal health care over the next 4 years. And, personally I think if anyone is smart enough to direct us out of this ditch, its this guy.

I loved McCain in 2000. The last 3 years have seen him doing everything he can to win votes from the people who brought us GWBushJR, which makes for exceedingly awkward choices like not signing the new GI Bill and dumbing down his opposition to secret military prisons, both for no particularly convincing reason other than thats what he's supposed to do. Its honestly hard for me to watch McCain's speeches and interviews today, because half the time he's not comfortable on the side of the argument he's putting him self, and anyone with a memory stretching back to 2000 or even 2006 will notice he's a changed man; http://www.videosift.com/video/McCain-Debates-Self-on-Bush , http://www.videosift.com/video/Washington-Bureaucrat-Predicts-USA-Politics-For-2009



In reply to this comment by gorgonheap:
That's the problem, unless we get republicans back in congress, they are going to run Obama too. He voted with his party 93% of the time. I'll admit that McCain isn't much better since he mistakes stubbornness for principal. But Peloci pushed Obama around when he was a senator and I can see her doing the same if he's elected president.

I feel like I'm trying to choose the lesser of two evils this election season. But my biggest issue with Obama is his double talk, I have no idea what he's going to do because he talks out of both sides of his mouth. He needs to find his issues and stick to them.

He's a smart man. There's a small possibility he could become a Nixon, but a much greater chance he'll work to get congress to bullshit around just a little less.

He advocates energy independence but pretends this can occur without more domestic drilling for oil and natural gas.

Of course maybe that's the defining mark of a true politician, being able to speak to one side while the other hears a different message.

Totally agree with you gorgonheap on your whole comment. And I'm seriously considering to edit a tee with "Ignorance != Stupidity" printed on it, since i've been repeating that fact for years now.
Ignorance is lack of knowledge.
Stupidity is lack of common sense.

BTW, i'm constantly questioning myself about a connection between those two, which leads me to assume that they're not directly binded.

(sorry about my poor english ...)

In reply to this comment by gorgonheap:
Evolution doesn't scare me, what does it when it's presented in a way that makes 'scientific minds' hold on to this, 'your stupid if you don't believe this' attitude. Please keep in mind ignorance is not the same as stupidity.

If someone doesn't understand Evolution, explain why. There's far to many 'evolutionists' who say, "why don't you believe this are you stupid?" When what they should be saying is "What part of evolution doesn't make sense to you?"

When I was in High School our science teacher spent just shy of one day on evolution. And to explore the theory of evolution takes more time then that. That's not enough time for me to see how evolution fits into my religeous beliefs or personal feelings.

Simply because someone does not know enough about evolution to make a clear analysis of it doesn't mean they are stupid. More often then not 'stupidity' is simply ignorance, and lets face it we're all ignorant about a great many things.
