An actual piece of software? You *are* a dork. Specifically, a dork in trouble if you are to be the one collecting rent from your gf's best friend.

Linda Wortheimer had a thing the safternoon about how the Christian Right (according to the "founder") will be feeling marginalized because of the moderateness of the convention and might decide to vote Democrat because none of the (bigoted) issues they care about are being talked about by either side anyway.

Phone ban....oh, not bank-by-phone. Telemarketing.

Now accepting suggestions for a new sigline

which is odd. by dev trash (3.00 / 0) #8 Wed Sep 01, 2004 at 03:02:50 PM EST

I think the GOP as it stands now is way too, Christian-right oriented. But I'd not vote for Kerry to protest it.

: It didn't seem likely to me by DesiredUsername (3.00 / 0) #12 Thu Sep 02, 2004 at 12:17:28 AM EST

But SomeGuy was saying that many (most?) of the Xians who vote Republican only do so because of abortion (and now gay marriage) but otherwise they are social liberals or apathetic. If the convention doesn't target them, was his argument, many will vote Kerry or not at all.
I think I just restated my earlier post, but I'm too lazy to check.

just for the weekend by tps12 (6.00 / 1) #17 Thu Sep 02, 2004 at 12:57:47 AM EST

I went to the Planned Parenthood march across the Brooklyn Bridge, which was just nice and fun...great day for a stroll across the bridge, plus cars were honking and everything. And then the anti-war demonstration Sunday, which was exhausting. I haven't yet talked to my brother (who is out of work after his employer moved to LA), but he was planning to go to a bunch more protests this week.

christopher hitchens... by rmg (3.00 / 0) #4 Wed Sep 01, 2004 at 10:54:24 AM EST

i know he's been branded a right winger and "mediawhore" by the "blogging community," but what, beyond the testimony of some rabble with keyboards, has convinced you he is no longer a liberal?

[t]rolling retards conversation, period.

cuz he's old and bitter by MillMan

(6.00 / 1) #10 Wed Sep 01, 2004 at 05:19:14 PM EST

like all old people. Similar to Barry Miles who MNS talked about earlier this week. He gave up and decided the world has no redeeming value.

As an old, bitter man, he now enjoys war as sport and making life difficult for poor people. Thus his new political affiliation.
This may be the first class war in history where the victims will die laughing.

: really? by rmg (3.00 / 0) #18 Thu Sep 02, 2004 at 05:42:16 AM EST

i read his articles and got the opposite impression.
i suppose someone who reads my comments might come to the same conclusion. many have. but that tells us a lot about what kind of reader they are, doesn't it?

voldemort by Patriclus (3.00 / 0) #9 Wed Sep 01, 2004 at 04:14:59 PM EST

Intriguing, the slogan and banner.

I read some Harry Potter, once. It seems I haven't remembered what Voldemort's political philosophy was, though. Was it just: evil? would you say? Destroy Harry Potter, and everything else is just playing with marbles?

Please don't go out of your way for it, but, perchance do you have the translation to the Japanese that was lost in translation advising on how to act when drinking certain kinds of whiskey for relaxing times?

racial purity by tps12 (3.00 / 0) #15 Thu Sep 02, 2004 at 12:50:53 AM EST

Voldemort's whole deal historically is that he thinks pureblood wizards are superior to everyone else. So he wants to rule the world as a dictator and subjugate or wipe out all of the Muggles and mixed-blood families. I don't think the sticker intended to draw any parallel beyond "Republicans == evil," but I found it funny.

This is not an everyday whiskey you know.

Thanks for the link! "We don't have time for this, okay?" Haha.

Voldemort. Is there any way for a person without wizard blood to learn wizardry, I forget. Just thinking about racial castes and that all sort of thing.

wizards by tps12 (3.00 / 0) #20 Thu Sep 02, 2004 at 07:26:45 AM EST

Warning: we are moving into pretty dorky territory here.

Muggles can have wizarding children (Hermione's parents are both Muggles) and wizarding families can have non-magical children (called Squibs), but the general pattern is that families are either magical or non-magical. I think it's sort of like being bald.

I think...
... It's got more to do with the sex drive of the parents. Sex drive; fancy combinations of moves; this sort of thing. Mr. and Mrs. Granger were just really hot for one another.

well by MillMan

(6.00 / 1) #11 Wed Sep 01, 2004 at 05:29:07 PM EST

The idea is, a truly principled person, while generally aligned with one social or political movement or another, will at times follow her principles to conclusions that contradict those movements' stated positions. This leads to the conflation of controversial positions and consistent principles, which in turn leads to some people making controversial statements in order to increase their perceived credibility.

Perhaps this is part of the assumption, but I think this is going to occur in any society that values individuality. Supporting a cause is not enough for an individual. You have to make a mark on your own merit to be considered successful in western cultures, so you take actions that serve yourself while harming the larger cause.

As far as Hitchens, see my reply to rmg, and I'm not particularly joking.

: that's a good point by tps12 (3.00 / 0) #16 Thu Sep 02, 2004 at 12:52:36 AM EST

You're right, that has nothing to do with an implication of principle.
