What kind of address did you give them?

I’d have been so annoyed. Tutting and clicking and eye pulsing

Nope. They stole that word and put it in the kickass super club name in order to counter recruit labor folks who were otherwise enamored with the left. They’re “socialists” the way north korea is “democratic.”

Something like 10-20% of the working population have commercial driving licenses. I hope everybody sees where the wind is blowing.

To be fair — we’re discussing government interventions in economics that determine who lives and who dies. Hitler and Mao are going to come up as the examples of extremism on how not to do it.

It’s almost like moderate capitalism with liberal approaches to civil rights and strong independent courts are preferable to both far right AND far left authoritarian states.

It’s not meant to be funny. It’s meant to highlight the fact that “economic efficiency” of the kind you learn in freshman macroeconomics doesn’t have anything to do with morality or desirable policy.

People dying of thirst is an efficient economic outcome. So is putting the disabled into ovens. Democracy and independent courts suck too. Hell — those Nazis had an amazing economy, and we should really get right on duplicating it. SO MUCH BETTER AND MORE EFFICIENT THAN COMMUNISTS.

It’s like Bono used to sing as the Mirror Ball Man — “The God I know isn’t short of cash, Mister —”

Not to repeat myself but the available rebuttals to “All blanks are blanks —” is EITHER “all blanks are not blank,” or “not all blanks are blanks.” That’s just basic formal logic.

He did, actually. “Yeah, all Christians are like that. All religions, really. Religion is like a disease that makes people evil.”

I’m not defending him. I’m saying that the distinctions between the varying things that he did that are offensive politically and as a matter of human dignity are important.

Hold on — it’s a valid distinction. I was misinformed on this issue because journalists played fast and loose with describing the nature of his legal troubles and what actually stuck. For those of us for whom facts matter, getting the specifics right MATTERS.

Oh shut up, will you please? I know heaps of super decent Catholic and Protestant believers. “All” [blanks] are [blank] is just such a facile and lazy sentiment. Barack Obama is a Christian, and I think he’s a great guy who doesn’t afraid of anything.

I’m planning to kickstart a game called, Close Your Hand in a Car Door Simulator. It’s going to be painful, linear, uninspired and look like it was made in MSpaint. Everyone is going to give it more credit than it deserves or what a work of film or literature with such half-assed delivery or absent dramatic purpose…

This is all the worst.

There absolutely are — but you see, I had you fooled! *I* was being sarcastic. I don’t think that you are at all objective!

Very objective of you. You’re a consummate journalist, to be sure.

This article is sexist bullshit.
