  1. @bradplumer We need to move everyone through the jigglebyte era first.
  2. @markos <inserttriteexpression>When you lay down with dogs expect to wake up with fleas.</endtriteexpression>
  3. @ggreenwald But ... but ... we're America, we're the good guys. Apparently our exp in Central and South America have taught US nothing.
  4. @drgrist Today's coal industry is yesteryears livery stables. Had we legislated to save the stables we would still be riding horses.
  5. @PawnMower @EWDolan @chrislhayes Not all soldiers have heroic qualities. Heroism is shown, not assumed. Newspeak is what it is.
  6. @JessicaTaylor Did you ask why?
  7. @AJEnglish @astroengine And if we continue to watch it for the next billion or so years we might see the evidence. #Europa
  8. @EWDolan @chrislhayes Requiring all soldiers to be called heroes is a form of politically correct speech.
  9. @EWDolan @chrislhayes Calling soldiers heroes diminishes the meaning of hero. This is Newspeak. I was a soldier, not a hero.
  10. @tomtomorrow Facepalmed by Facebook.
  11. @BreakingNews Does he intend to do the same for Mosaic Law? This BS is a solution in search of a problem.
  12. @JohnWDean The Internet doesn't need regulating. It may need watching, but not regulation. The goal is to maximize freedom. Not regulate it.
  13. @IreFive I don't know, sinner. Why don't you tell us? For all have sinned and come short of the Glory of God.
  14. @JohnWDean Lack of anonymity will chill discourse. Sometimes one must take the good with the bad. You can't legislate civility.
  15. @mattyglesias @ddayen All the tax cuts need to be unwound. If the FED won't help then all the money from the TCs should be used as stimulus.
  16. @joshtpm @TPM As a life-long Dem, I am confident in saying the Dems will run away the first time the Republicans look at them crosswise.
  17. @Melhi Laws like that quash entire industries that can be built to facilitate wife beating among the squeamish, and morally weak.
  18. @davidfrum There is nothing about Afghanistan that doesn't come back to the blood red hands of BushCo, of whom you were a member, iirc.
  19. @TPM Repubs just keep giving Obama ammunition with which to attack them. Do we really want such an inept gang anywhere near the controls?
  20. @JohnWDean When a few business get shut down, believe me, business will be screaming to relinquish their humanity. #citizensunited.
