Re: Friedersdorf Weigel redux
You and Breitbart are wrong. Will Saletan goes through the video line by line (http://www.slate.com/id/2261552/) and debunks this as a lie.

The breadcrust drinking game
Are you tired of the constant, monotonous posting of the forum's most prolific scientific racist? I've devised a little drinking game to help you out. (Warning: If you're not an East Asian or an...

Sorry, John
Your (and your girlfriend's) interpretation of the Lost finale is wrong. The island wasn't purgatory--everything that happened on the island happened. But the "flash sideways" universe was a sort...

Why is Lyle so happy?
Lyle, you seem pretty gleeful in this thread, and I'm not sure why.
Perhaps its because you support Israel and think that the footage showing the soldiers being attacked proves that Israel was in...

The Goldberg Code
After watching many Jonah Goldberg diavlogs, I've noticed a telling tick: he expresses casual disdain with the phrase "all the rest." Examples from just the first five minutes here...

Re: Matt & Jon = Whitey McWhitebreads
For what it's worth--and I don't know what exactly it's worth--Matt is 1/4 Cuban (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jose_Yglesias). He does not live part-time in Denmark, but seems to attend a junket in...

The New Heaven
The discussion of boredom as an objection to immortality immediately made me think of a very good book I recently read, Julian Barnes's "A History of the World in 10 1/2 Chapters."
In the final...

Re: On Goats
There's actually an argument that kinda makes sense in that original post--the sort of mutual high-fiving epitomized by the "blowing goats" joke demonstrates that the Netroots are an insular movement...

Re: On Goats
It was fine to mock him when the rumor seemed outlandish. Once the rumor was proven true, to continue to mock him for it is as stupid as (hypothetical) freepers going after Michelle Obama for hating...

Re: On Goats
Nice euphemism. The number really is virtually zero...unless, of course, you count the rumor that John Edwards had a love child, which was the origin of the goat sex joke, and which strangely enough...

Re: On Goats
I agree that, based on the publicly available evidence, there wasn't any reason to believe Mickey on Edwards (I didn't believe it at the time, either). But my point is that since he was proved...

Re: On Goats
Weak sauce, bj. The point of the goat sex joke was that Mickey was wrong about Edwards. Well, he actually wasn't wrong--everyone who mocked him was wrong! Continuing to use the goat joke is like...

On Goats
The "Mickey Kaus blows goats" meme should officially be retired.
It was started to protest Mickey's wild, constant rumor-mongering about John Edwards having an affair with a woman named Rielle...
