Couple Arrested for Not Paying Tip
Bullshit. That's like saying you agreed to 30 pages of legalese for each website you ever visited, just by clicking on it. A contract cannot be formed without the consent of BOTH parties.
Olbermann: On Hannity Being Busted By TDS
Prohibiting congressmembers from using their official websites to promote certain political activities is an outdated rule from times when postage to hordes of people cost orders of magnitude more than a website costs now, adjusted for inflation.
Bachmann is a nut (and a jingoistic scrooge of breathtaking ignorance) for other reasons. Stick to the issues instead of this lame gotcha shit.
Rachel Maddow: Health Reform Bill Restricts Abortion Cover
The problem isn't present population - it's growth. For every increase in population, new infrastructure has to be built -- roads, schools, houses, markets, water treatment plants etc. When a country already cannot provide basic infrastructure for its current population, growth only makes their financial situation worse. When the average age is 15, there aren't enough adults around to teach or feed the noobs, and this further impoverishes the society. Vast tracts of virgin rainforest are razed to produce new farmland and new settlements -- this is a problem. Earth has enough people on it; population growth must stop.

Coupons are a heck of a time sink but ultimately a zero-sum game. I'd rather go to a store that had low prices without rebates or coupons. Coupons are the most common system of charging different prices to different people for the exact same thing (and one of the few legal ways to do it).
ACORN (Blog Entry by jwray)
McCain made up a few more lies to slander ACORN. He blamed ACORN for the subprime mortgage crisis. That couldn't be further from the truth, considering ACORN counseled poor people on how to avoid predatory lending and obtain cheap housing (and THAT operation of ACORN in particular is the one that got federal funding).
Girl Gang-Raped At Homecoming Bystanders Watch No One Helps
Minuteman Runs Away From Chicano Girl
I think every neo-nazi would back the minutemen, but not every minuteman would back the neo-nazis. Every American redneck anti-abortion young-earth-creationist is a republican, but not every republican is one. Same thing.
The Lou Dobbs type of immigration-haters are mainly motivated by the idea that it is hurting their employment prospects, more than anything else.
Immigration is one of the "wedge issues" that republicans use to deceive poor people into voting against their own interests. Another is Reagan's fictional racist stereotype of the ghetto "welfare queen" who is better off than working class white people. Another is pandering to fundamentalist Christians with big talk about anti-homosexuality aka "family values" (While secretly getting handjobs in the men's bathroom of an airport).
Reality TV Show to Convert Atheists
Agnostics are just pussy atheists. I hate them. I hate atheists, too, because they are arrogant cunts.
I am atheist.
Oh man, you're like the black KKK grand dragon on Chappelle's Show.

Philip: 86 year old Rep and WW II vet speaks about equality.
The USA was founded on equal rights for "the people", except originally only educated white people were considered part of "the people" or citizens. The in-group always had arbitrary boundaries and always trended towards expansion. The meaning of "All people have equal rights" is a function of your definition of a person. The idea that all humans have rights and other great apes don't, is on the same continuum as racism. So your 10,000th cousin has rights, but your 1,000,000th cousin doesn't? There's a fairly smooth continuum, with the smartest apes being more aware than than some mentally retarded humans, and a vast variety of species and individuals all the way down to the simplest organisms. There's no good place to draw a thin line and say full rights on this side, vastly less rights on the other side.
