It's getting more and more hilarious to occasionally re-visit the OP of this thread and consider how embarrassingly wrong the right wing has been when it comes to economics.

Where were these Tea Party folks before the Iraq wars? At church every Sunday. Gun shows every Saturday. Generally speaking, hanging out wherever they felt safe hating brown people. So the Iraq war was safe, because mainly brown people would die. It's sad to unhide certain people here and see them ...

Bossypants was a tremendous book. If she falls on hard times, she can just write more of that.

You're so nice.

Anyone worried this banal-seeming rom-com marks the beginning of the end for Ms. Fey? Anyone else hear the Jaws theme? Not here. She's been the source of so much top notch comedy for so long, that it's understandable that she would take a misstep here and there, and can be expected to return to the...

I just noticed this thread and was reminded of its predecessor from three years ago: http://rationalia.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=22&t=12341 I used to wonder if right-wingers would ever get tired of being proven so utterly wrong on economics for such long stretches that it's hard to keep track of jus...

Hillary has said that she won't run, and I believe her. On the Dem side, the first black president could be followed by the first hispanic president. Julian Castro could make a go of it. So could Antonio Villaraigosa. As of today, I see the Republicans drilling down to Chris Christie, Paul Ryan, and...

So. Like four years ago, the navel gazing and hand wringing will separate the GOP into two camps: the tea party, who will claim that they would have won if they'd nominated a more-conservative candidate, and the rest of the right wing, who will blame Romney specifically. They seem to instinctively k...

And here is where I win the thread:

I rather like films that give me the opportunity to look around, listen to the score, and consider what's going on.

Smashing Pumpkins are definitely top 50. As much as I like grunge, and fill out the top of my list from that timeframe with Pearl Jam, Stone Temple Pilots, Soundgarden, Alice in Chains, and Temple of the Dog, I'm going to go with: #1 from the early '90s: Dream Theater Images and Words was an explosi...

I'd like to meet these mythical no ID legal voters :ask: You have to have ID to get a job,and it has been that way for over twenty years. I'm White in a nearly pure White area and had to show my social security card to work for a temp agency twenty years ago. No one had a question of where I lived ...

Excellent article on the voter fraud myth: http://www.newyorker.com/reporting/2012/10/29/121029fa_fact_mayer Richard L. Hasen, a law professor at the University of California at Irvine, and the author of a recent book, “The Voting Wars,” says, “Before 2000, there were some rumblings about Democratic...

Because I have the far-right wing on ignore here, and don't see them dutifully providing cover-fire for their conservative religionist masters, this page of this discussion is so far nothing but a rabbit vibe smoking a cigarette and a nachos recipe!

I love this forum.
