Re: Summer Movie Extravaganza
The Happening was a bad movie because the cause of "the happening" was stupid and lame. Dialogue was the least of its issues. The Village is the best movie of his since Sixth Sense. Signs was...

Re: Bloggingheads 911: Miami
That's not a conspiracy theory. Neither are flat earthers, as far as I know. They just believe everybody else is wrong. That's not a conspiracy theory. Sorry to quibble :)

Re: Bloggingheads 911: Miami
I've never liked the sentiment expressed in JFK's quote. It presupposes that the people exist to serve their government and not the other way around. The people ought to be asking what the...

Re: Bloggingheads 911: Miami
By wingnut you just mean very conservative? And that's the equivalent of a Flat Earther or 9/11 truther? Even in those wacky cases (9=11 truther, Flat Earther), aslong somebody is arguing in good...

Re: Bloggingheads 911: Miami
Just because a voter says they prefer Hillary to Obama and part of the preference has to do with race does not mean they have never voted (or would not vote) for a black candidate. I suspect a...

They were concrete and precise. He said exactly what he thought, there was no "follow me because I inspire" trip
The people subservient to the government? Yes, it does sound like Obama.

Re: Bloggingheads 911: Miami
You say it's OK (or at least understandable) that blacks don't trust or identify with whites. But whites are somehow supposed to accept this and then trust and identify equally with blacks? Once...

Re: Bloggingheads 911: Miami
Paul certainly had a lot of enthusiastic supporters. But they weren't joking he was the messiah! Paul wasn't talking about healing our souls. Paul didn't rely on vague "hope and change" rhetoric. ...

Re: Bloggingheads 911: Miami
At least it isn't racism that strikes me as particularly codemnable but it's still racism. I'd expect blacks to identify and trust other blacks more than whites. The problem, though, is you expect...

Re: Bloggingheads 911: Miami
But it is, at least for a lot of Obama minions. That's why people joke about "the messiah" and "the one" and all that. Even in the post Cold War Reagan glow, nobody talks about Reagan how Obama's...

Re: Bloggingheads 911: Miami
It may or may not be true. But I think it certainly qualifies as rude. I don't personally mind a little invective, aslong as there is some substance that accompanies it. However, rarely do I think...

Downside to many diavlogs?
Inspired by Wright's comments about changes to comment moderation in order to improve bloggingheads, I thought I'd share a thought. I used to watch almost every diavlog. Increasingly I am just...

Re: Moral Hazard?
The only two similiarities between regular moral hazard and what Cannon describes is that it costs insurance companies money! If people would spend the same amount on their care without insurance,...

As an American organization, shouldn't they have chosen a name which would have been translated better? I don't think you'd catch a German American organization being so sloppy! What they meant by...

Re: The Week in Blog: Post-Hillary Edition
I think it's BS that "the race" really means "the people" as NCLR claims. But at least it's plausible. It is not, however, honest to claim that interpreting "the race" to mean "the race" is somehow...

Re: Why Won't Hillary Quit?
After 8 years of Bush, it's good to finally see some infighting among Dems. So Dems do have minds of their own! I'm so proud of you all. =) Keep it up.

Ann's weird race comments.
What is up with it? It's really the only way she remains a 1960's conventional liberal, obsessed with seeing racism in everything. There was the time she was just shocked to the point of tears that...
