Yeah, he basically disowned his son for being gay, IIRC.

I think I read on Card's blog once, when I saw it linked in his book,
something like the following: "I'm so sick of people complaining we
invaded Iraq for oil. What do liberals think their cars run on?"

However are "my people," the actual left, responsible for characterizing Democrats (to the right of even liberals) as feckless? We characterize, say, Obama, as a fucking mass murderer who is doubling down on the civil rights abuses of the Bush administration and doing nothing to end his wars (and has actually ramped…

I mean, in the new timeline, there are Olivia and Fauxlivia too, but they've never heard of an adult Peter Bishop. I'm saying that Olivia's universe is the amber/orange one (whatever the kids are calling it these days), and I'm wondering whether Fauxlivia's universe has a color too, and if so why not. If that makes…

Yeah, maybe I would have just hung around watching it too. It was pretty awesome.

Good catch.

Man, that universe seemed grey to me. And the consensus amber universe seems more orange.

Yeah, it does.

Thank you; I'm glad someone else noticed this. In the amber world, evacuation apparently just means staring at the pretty disaster.

I was outraged to hear the words "Fall finale" in the teaser for the next episode, yeah. Why must they do this to us?

In the real world, propaganda is necessary to control democratic societies, and violence by "the West" is either justifiable or an unfortunate hiccup.

Funny that in our society, killing hundreds of foreign civilians (and at least two American ones) is considered "left" and "feckless."

McNutt owes him five dollars.

The Chinese (at least the Han, and at least in my experience), consider a child a year old at birth. People who know about other systems and really want to pin things down will ask you (or me, anyway) to specify.

Thank you. I despise him. His dialogue in the castle scene… ugh. Does he have a speech impediment? I know it would be wrong to hate him for that, but it's insufferable.

It's strange you consider Maddow a "leftist." She's a pure Dem shill. Moore will reliably corral people for the likes of Obama in a pinch as well.

Yep. Fuck, it was depressing even reading about those books.

If only.

I had thought it was just me who felt it was a trilby. Bless you, sir.

Agreed; I love to see these.
