Thanks Kim! We're playing this Saturday Oct 22nd @ Gilman st in Berkeley, Ca. and @ MDF next May on Saturday. We can't wait to me meet you in Baltimore, keep up the good journalism!

I like Jill Stein and the Green Party, but I have to beg you to please be realistic and not throw away your vote to Willard or encourage others to do so, which is what a vote for Jill is equivalent to. You may be too young to remember Ralph Nader.

No doubt Fox Nation would agree with you.

Re: Rape, Abortion And Akin’s Remarks

Acnestes — Tue, 21 Aug 2012 09:38:45 -0000

Yeah, because God knows we need as many unready, unwilling, unwed teenage mothers as we can get, by any possible means.

So go over to Fox Nation. You'll fit right in.

No, it's not that sensible people perceive the Greedy Old Pigs as actually wanting grandma dead and the environment polluted. We perceive that they don't care a fig about any of it, as long as they get theirs, which is evidently all they care about. If they were just soiling their own nest I wouldn't care either, but in their arrogant self righteousness they're soiling mine too. And you bet it ticks me off.

If anything is said of any actual value it will be summed up in about 45 seconds on the 11 o'clock news. Anyone's time would probably be more profitably spent watching reruns of Jersey Shore.

Re: The Republican Challenge

Acnestes — Mon, 27 Aug 2012 10:43:55 -0000

Jersey Shore is less likely to be depressing than the conventions. The characters in both are all pretty appalling, but one can comfort oneself that at least the ones on Jersey Shore aren't likely to be in positions of influence or authority any time soon.

Well, true, they only televise what takes place on the actual convention floor so you won't actually see it. . .

Acnestes — Mon, 27 Aug 2012 11:47:29 -0000

"Gauche" - so, you're not saying that it's wrong, just that it's tactless to point it out? I can see why you'd think so.

I can't stand him either. For the sake of accuracy, though, he was out of office for several years by 2008. Maybe you're thinking of his earlier failed run for senator? He was still governor then.

Re: Convention Kick-Off

Acnestes — Tue, 28 Aug 2012 10:40:56 -0000

Yes, a GOP tradition, starting with the unmissed William Weld. I always had a sneaking suspicion that Mitt had at some point had an affair with Kerry Kelly-Healey and that she'd blackmailed him into nominating her for Lt. Gov., against the advice of his own party. She had no evident qualifications for the job.

Ah, the trolls are here. It must be frustrating to you not to be the biggest lamprey in the pond over at Fox Nation.

OK then, let's see those tax returns! Trust but verify, eh?

Fortunately or unfortunately, she isn't. Basically a spouter of talking points. GOP always good, Democrats always bad.

Some friends and I are going to see "Iron Sky" tonight, but my girlfriend has opted to stay home and watch the convention. I think she's crazy, but as one of my friends points out, given the choice of watching either the Republicans or Nazis from the moon there's really not much difference.

She likes to be informed about what the enemy is up to.

He isn't. I believe he's considered persona non grata there.

I think you need to keep a dictionary handy. You don't seem to understand what you're saying a lot of the time.

Re: Week In The News: Romney and Ryan and Issac

Acnestes — Fri, 31 Aug 2012 09:14:36 -0000

It's an anachronism that should have died with the arrival of mass communication. There was some justification for it in the 18th and 19th centuries when news might take months to reach some of the further flung parts of the country, but now it's in the same class as wisdom teeth and the appendix. It adds nothing good and is just an opportunity for bad things to happen.

I'd still take it over the GOP convention. ;-)
