I'm with you, Roger: the more I see, the less I want to see.  And if you want to stay informed, no matter your political stripe, that's very frustrating.  I used to pull my hair out listening to the partisan callers to C-SPAN's Washington Journal.  I've given up on almost all news radio and websites, but you really

You can certainly decide what sets of ideas you find cohesive and agreeable—cognitive dissonance is a helluva drug—but, sorry, no, you don't get to individually decide what inferences are logical.  That's sort of the point of systematic logic, to take idiosyncratic reasoning out of the picture.  Given how much

Spot on.  Only creeps like the American founding fathers are so shortsighted that they'd willingly deal with Muslim states that harbour terrorists.  I also don't know any important social contributions by gays, so logic dictates that no such contributions exist.

Seconded.  Bully is my favorite Rockstar title by far.  Their trademark grade-school humour actually fit the setting, the art design was interesting, even the antagonist was kind of legitimately scary—a sociopath not yet old enough to be on any real authority's radar.  Minigames were blah, as were the bike races, but

And one hell of a Carnac setup.

I agree that the dialogue was repetitive—the recycled voice actors didn't help—but I personally liked Taking Back the Night as Catwoman:

"It was a viciously sharp slice of mango, wasn't it, sir?"

"Row, row, row your boat, gently down the stream, belts off, trousers down, isn't life a scream, hey!"
"Fabulous.  University education: you can't beat it."

"Have you got a plan, m'lord?"
"Yes, I have, and it's so cunning that you could brush your teeth with it!"

Don't forget Machete, Roger Myers Jr., Worf, and one of D.J. Tanner's boyfriends.
