Aren't these Alpacas? Or is there a difference? - Ninjitsu Jason Huebel

""Ladies and gentlemen, I have never been to a state that hasn't sent its sons and daughters to serve its country," Biden said Friday in New Mexico as the crowd booed Palin's reported comments. "It doesn't matter where you live, we all love this country. And I hope it gets through that one of the reasons why Barack (Obama) and I are running is that we know how damaging the policy of division ... has been. "We are one nation, under God, indivisible," Biden shouted to the crowd. "We are all patriotic, we all love this country."" - Jason Carreira via Bookmarklet

This is why I say the two sides are behaving differently. - Jason Carreira

yes, and it is why the bully usually beats the poet in power struggles - Gregory Lent

"The gap between rich and poor is getting bigger in the world's richest countries -- and particularly the United States -- as top earners' incomes soar while others' stagnate, according to a 30-nation report released Tuesday. In a 20-year study of its member countries, the Paris-based Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development said wealthy households are not only widening the gap with the poor, but in countries such as the U.S., Canada and Germany they are also leaving middle-income earners further behind, with potentially ominous consequences if the global financial crisis sparks a long recession." - Jason Carreira via Bookmarklet

Unfortunately, this isn't particularly shocking. - AJ Kohn

to them that hath, all shall be given, to them that hath not, all shall be taken away .... i am not preaching, am noting that this is almost a law of nature ... and the poverty of poor people is not lack of money, it is a poverty in understanding that results in lack of money ... it is not set in stone, belief can change, but so many social forces work to disempower the poor that it is hard to change minds ... this is why i think the gates foundation should throw every cent towards schools and teachers - Gregory Lent

I think Senator McCain would agree with me when I say: Can this just be over now? - Jason Carreira

Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles is awesome... they moved it this year and put it in a worse time slot, but it's worth the search. - Jason Carreira

They scheduled it against MNF. I'm not watching anything anymore. Either they make good shows suck (Heroes) or they cancel them or kill them. TV execs are braindead. - Cyndy

I take it someone is reading their news on a machine at the Apple Store?? - Cyndy

And if so, what time are you expected home? And is my phone coming home with you? - Cyndy

"So, I have been effectively fatwahed (is that how you spell it?) by the conservative movement, and the magazine that my father founded must now distance itself from me. But then, conservatives have always had a bit of trouble with the concept of diversity. The GOP likes to say it’s a big-tent. Looks more like a yurt to me. While I regret this development, I am not in mourning, for I no longer have any clear idea what, exactly, the modern conservative movement stands for. Eight years of “conservative” government has brought us a doubled national debt, ruinous expansion of entitlement programs, bridges to nowhere, poster boy Jack Abramoff and an ill-premised, ill-waged war conducted by politicians of breathtaking arrogance. As a sideshow, it brought us a truly obscene attempt at federal intervention in the Terry Schiavo case." - Jason Carreira via Bookmarklet

talk like that gives me hope that true conservatism might still survive - MikeAmundsen

"In contrast, there is the traditionally Republican approach which points to enterprise and tax incentives in poor communities as the best way to create jobs and lift those neighborhoods out of economic duress. Government involvement, in this case, is seen as an intrusion more than a buoy. Somewhere in the middle lies Obama, who as a former community organizer brings more experience to the topic than any recent presidential nominee. The Illinois Democrat, as Boyte sees it, wants to move "urban policy and poverty policy" beyond "dependency creating programs." He sees a need for "catalytic government that enables citizen action rather than displacing citizen initiative."" - Jason Carreira via Bookmarklet
