[quote]Nice attempt at a consensus. The "understanding" issue rests solely with the author, a person that appears to enjoy (by his own words, in multiple blogs) "mocking" and has a proven track record of being less than truthful.

So you're saying the DP runs the trains on time? I'm pretty sure I didn't say that. Look, here's the deal: 'Support of the troops' ranks next to pro-life on the list of core conservative issues - issues that are at the very fabric of the political platform. The GOP enjoys a total monopoly on the issue and that's not an overstatement. If you think back to the Bush era and you think

Originally discussed here . My oh my, what a black eye. For starters: -There's a rumor floating around that only 500 were sold . As much as I would have laughs at a phone with that kind of marketing only selling 500 units, that seems a bit low. Maybe in one market they only sold 500, maybe they only

Good? As in some universal truth or high noble goal? Or just in documenting what you state is already known by some, and denied by others? No as in what practical good comes of this. You're not going to convince anyone new that there's a vast media conspiracy----especially not now. Maybe, 4 years ago, you'd have had a chance. Today? Not so much.

[quote]Hard to discern with so much blather in your writing (style?).[/quote] Let's just be clear here: The only comment in the OP that was from me was: "Fascinating that the total failure of a policy is used as a justification for the continuation of a policy." Your telling everyone here that you couldn't understand that? [quote]Having three kids helps when dealing with other juvenile personalities such as yourself. [/quote]

Well, I own 2 as it were. Funny that you didn't read the one comment I made in the op that pretty much indicates where I stand on the issue. I was just mocking you for being borderline retarded and easily baited into telling us all about your hard core real 'merican e-peen. You responded predictably, all things considered. But thanks for playing.

When last I posted of Microsoft , I mentioned a bit about what I thought was their greatest accomplishment: I think that MS's greatest accomplishment in the last decade or so has been the Xbox. They plunged headfirst into one of the most difficult tech markets and not only survived but thrived. Ironically, it had little to do with 'synergy' or marketing gimmicks or because people had a pr

I actually haven't had a lot of bad experiences with HP/compaq. Then again, I buy compaq laptop at a bargain basement price. I beat the shit out of it until it breaks and 2 years later buy a new one. I'm really not your typical user. But as 'resident computer guy' for quite a few people, I've had plenty of experience with HP stuff. Haven't experienced too many problems,.

Oh dear. Breitbart: I’ve had $100,000 burning in my pocket for the last three months and I’d really like to spend it on a worthy cause. So how about this: in the interests of journalistic transparency, and to offer the American public a unique insight in the workings of the Democrat-Media Complex, I’m offering $100,000 for the full “JournoList” arch

I know I do . A bit over two weeks ago, a group of statistic wizards (Mark Grebner, Michael Weissman, and Jonathan Weissman) approached me with a disturbing premise -- they had been poring over the crosstabs of the weekly Research 2000 polling we had been running, and were concerned that the numbers weren't legit. I immediately began cooperating

[quote]No, I am pointing out parallels that are happening. Not every persecutor is a Nazi, not every persecuted is a Jew, and not every fiend is a Hitler. Nor did I say any were. I merely pointed out there is a reason the ACLU defends Nazis.

LGF : Tea Party wacko Rick Barber, who’s running for Congress in the GOP primary in Alabama’s 2nd District, was last seen at LGF when he posted a video calling for President Obama to be impeached and openly inciting anti-government insurrection.
