Its flaws are that it doesn’t have nearly as linear a story as BoB and that the narrative tends to jump around, making it more difficult to track who was where when and why that mattered.  Which, is exactly the difference between the Pacific and European theater, so I’m not sure it’s even a “flaw” in the end.  

The omission of Dr. Gerard in BSG is unforgivable.  Unforgivable!  

I am always curious to know where the line is for people when it comes to being cordial with others.

This is the umpteenth time you’ve retreated to a version of this post. You’re aware that we’re all on equal footing here, right? We’re all anonymous internet voices that matter and don’t matter to the precise same degree, right?

Isn’t the notion that one only has two options, either open hostility/violence, or cheerful palling around, the actual extreme position here?  

Well that certainly explains it. A former centrist hack in DC trying to be a Hollywood hack in LA--if there’s a better recipe for being embittered against young good looking “sort of minorities,” I’m not sure what it would be.  

Or, how about we recognize that good people are also capable of doing things that disappoint?  

I guess the point is, what is the expectation for Ellen here? Would it have been better for her to scream “you are a war criminal!” at Bush and then spit in his face?

And this is suchhhhhh an important issue to harp on for several days

You just don’t get it. If the kind of ideological shift within the Democratic party cost Mac his position as a staffer to a “centrist” Democrat, it must be a bad thing and anyone who says otherwise is a nobody.

Whew, well that’s a relief. Anyway, I’m glad you came through losing your gig as a congressional staffer without being bitter about uppity sort-of minority women making life difficult for all those noble “centrists” out there. That would be a shame.

Just out of curiosity, what is it that you believe I’m bitching about at the moment?

True Democrats are not fooled by the Left’s chicanery.

They understand, they just don’t want anyone else to.  

I will never understand the sheep who support the wolf in sheep’s clothing.

It takes such conviction to work on behalf of someone who used the fact that she was hot and sort of a minority to win office.

And honestly, putting Limbaugh or Hannity in the same league as W is stretching it a bit, don’t you think? Even in the same league as McConnell is still a bit much.

“I’m not really sure how quotation marks work, but let’s see if this is close.”  

Practice.  

What should Ellen have done? Answer that.
