Is Bill Clinton about the worst friend ever?

He also said:

In the last 32 months our economy has produced 5.3 million private sector jobs. That is twice as many as were produced in the seven years after the dot-com bubble burst and crashed under the Bush administration. Two to one. Now, if we're plainly moving back, why in the wide world would you junk a strategy that's working for one that you know won't work?

If you always worry about right-wing bloggers (and Karl Rove, and the RNC) lifting individual bits of what you say out of context, you're going to be saying very little.

538 aggregate polling and predictions are inching back up for Obama. His predicted odds of winning are about what they were in July-August.

DOMA was struck down by appealate court in NY. I believe a law like this would have to go through the Supreme Court before it's actually, legit shot down.

Probably. I never understood the angst some people have for allowing gay couples to marry.

If gays are allowed to marry then they will be happy. And they cant be happy. They need to be miserable like the rest of married folks. So therefore they need to remain unmarried.

Hot damn, I think you've finally found the answer! It's not hate at all! It's envy!

EDIT: Although you have to figure... once homosexuals (inevitably) get the right to marry as easily as straight people do, they'll have as many frivolous, ill-advised marriages as straight couples do and soon become as miserable as the rest.

Don't you see? We're forcing them to wade through a mountain of shit for their own good!

Paradox, baby. Paradox.

I had a friend (I use the term loosely, actually couldn't stand the guy some days) who is strongly against gay marriage, but didn't want to admit that it was for religious reasons. He told me that he wanted the definition of marriage to remain one man and one woman. So I asked him, "Wouldn't that be government imposing the will of the church?" to which he responded "No, that's just always been the definition of the word marriage! It has nothing to do with religion!"

Dude, I don't think Merriam Webster is going to lose sleep over this -_-

He wanted the church to define it but then said it had nothing to do with religion?

Its kind of sad to watch, really. He's an amazingly intelligent person, especially when it comes to anything related to numbers, and all around just a genius. Unfortunately, he was raised as a devout catholic, and his parents really drilled into him that every word of the bible is undeniable fact. So to me, he always seems torn between his intellect and his overzealous faith. I think it's really frustrating for him, which is why he tends to become angry when arguing about anything related to christianity.

I was responding sarcastically to a person saying everyone is on koolaid, yet my post is an example of liberals. I'm sorry, I guess I should have said people who disagree with me are high, to live up to her standard.

Pardon? I wasn't talking about you.

[Felya]

Pardon? I wasn't talking about you.

Her standard, not yours. I was agreeing with you.

[Grizzly Willy]

You would think that, as an English major, I would be better at figuring this stuff out. Suppose I should work on that.

I liked the 1996 entry. One streak that Munroe missed is that no Republican has won the presidency without Ohio.

[Mnevis]

That's what the whole thing is a reaction to.

[Grizzly Willy]

Totally knew that.

Cognitive dissonance is a bitch.
