If Bernie was in charge, I would be VERY worried we would be on our way to becoming pre-coup Russia or worse, Venezuela.

You completely missed what I’m trying to say. This new administration is doing the bidding of the petrochemical companies, and will do everything in their power to bury alternative forms of energy generation for at least the next few decades.

Maher sometimes hits the nail on the head with his comments, but he’s still an asshole who is way too full of himself. He also tries to pass himself off as a champion of liberal causes, but after watching enough of his show, I’ve realized that he only does it for ratings.

Well, except for the fact that the vast bulk of the money spent on public schooling doesn’t actually go to teach the students or pay the teachers, or even the schools. The bulk of it went to pay for administration.

The only problem now is that I expect that this new administration will hit the alternative energy field with massive taxation and regulation that will force it almost completely out of business in the US. These are the guys that want places like LA and NYC to look like they did back in the 1950's (with all of that…

I actually had that book when I was a kid. It’s funny to see that the meme still lives, as well. :)

Meh, I could care less who they support poltically.

I pay my own bill in order to access those resources, so why would it matter? Are we really at the point of arguing that some people are entitled to a portion of other peoples’ earnings so that they can browse Facebook and Twitter?

That bit actually surprised the hell out of me after watching that episode. Yet, it was perfect for the ending.

What worries me is how soon will it be before a journalist or photographer is actually gunned down for doing their job.

It’s funny that you actually believe what you’re saying. This has been festering in one form or another since the time of the Civil War. Yes, it’s been underground for many years (especially since WWII due to the people that saw fascism up close & personal), and is now becoming more mainstream simply due to nothing…

No, what assholes like Spencer need to realize is that unlike what the 1st Amendment actually guarantees (that is, that the government cannot suppress your speech, not that all forms of speech are protected from actions being taken against you), being a hatemonger and using speech like he is opens him up to being…

After seeing how she dealt with ‘Mr. Adventure’ in Star Trek III, Boba should have known better! :)

Are you Toby? No? Then why the hell are you white knighting for him so goddamned hard?

The only thing I have to say to someone like him is, if you continue to vote for the people that are going to actively use their political power to hurt the bulk of Americans, don’t try acting like you aren’t throwing in with the bad guys. Because you are, no matter how non-partisan you want to argue you really are.

Umm, yeah...about your ‘source’? You might want to read up a little bit about their veracity before using them to back up your bullshit assertions.

It has nothing to do with ‘weather’ and everything to do with climate.

The issue here is that he wants anyone who actually knows how to do their jobs effectively out (especially since the black guy appointed them to their post, or kept them on from the prior administration).

If you write a novel written in the Harry Potter universe, you can’t publish that novel for money, but it doesn’t mean that J.K. Rowling owns your novel.

I’m pretty sure that Paramount tried to sue JMS once B5 went live. Saying that he had stolen their idea for DS9 (when it was pretty much the other way around).
