Malmesbury Monster posted:Social media is the new dotcom, and we all remember how well it turned out the first time. Is Twitter still bleeding money at an alarming rate? They're my favorite dotcom 2.0 site because they're very popular and extremely useful yet have no real revenue. hobbesmaster posted:I can't believe people criticized him for that because that was a legit good joke. If he was on SNL then sure, it's a good joke. When you're giving a serious interview about a rather big loving deal you don't make a smug "I don't give a gently caress" joke/comment like that. It'd have been like if after Clinton gave his "I did not have sexual relations with her" comment he followed it up with "who wants to go to a titty bar?" hobbesmaster posted:Now that you point out the water it seems bizarre that they're unlabeled. Removing labels isn't uncommon in media. Watch a show like myhtbusters and you'll sometimes see that when they're out on a boat or elsewhere there are people wearing clothing with the brand blurred out or covered because said brand isn't paying for the advertisement of being visible on the show. ESPN definitely does this as well if for no other reason than Reebok, Nike..etc get pissed when they pay for advertisement or sponsorship and someone's on TV wearing competition clothing with the logo visible.

Should Obama go to the border? Should he suck it up and make it a photo op and just do it? The talking heads on the radio are all over it, screaming how he is ignoring his duty by not going to the border. Governor Good Hair Perry is saying its his Katrina moment. And today, Charles Pierce in his politics blog at Esquire, a pundit I agree with a lot, says its his duty as President. I think Pierce is wrong. I don't think there is anything to be gained or done by Obama making a quick trip or even extended visit to the border. And Pierce's blog post contains the reason why. quote:This is what presidents do. They go to places where a crisis has erupted and they assure the victims that they still have a stake in the country and that the country still has a stake in them. From the most charitable viewpoint, those children are illegal immigrants, many probably refugees, that deserve compassion and charity. But they don't have a stake in this country and the public is about equally divided on whether they should ever be allowed to have a stake in this country, and a majority of the public doesn't believe the country has a stake in them. There is absolutely nothing to be gained by Obama going to the border to see something that he can do absolutely nothing to prevent or correct.

So in Virginia news, the fight over the Medicaid expansion isn't over yet. Things are still hosed up up from that rear end in a top hat Puckett resigning and turning the senate 20-19 for the Republicans, which really really sucks given just how many squeaker victories the Democrats had to pull in order to get that slim as gently caress majority in the first place. rear end in a top hat.  quote:Emails released through the Freedom of Information Act indicate that Del. Terry Kilgore, R-Gate City, was lining up a job with the Tobacco Indemnification and Community Revitalization Commission for former Democratic state Sen. Phil Puckett in the weeks before Puckett resigned. Federal subpoenas show that a grand jury is looking into the issue.  fade5 fucked around with this message at 17:34 on Jul 10, 2014 |

Taerkar posted:The *switch* is far more complicated than that and involves more the southern democrats than anything else. Eisenhower's party affiliation had more to deal with cooperation and issues he had with Dem leadership than anything else, IIRC. He also wanted to give Truman the finger, which might be what you were referring to as "issues he had with Dem leadership."

copper rose petal posted:"No, you guys seem to be mad for no reason. See what I meant was that sometimes women lie about getting raped so they can get an abortion." The more you dig into Akin's statement and why he believes those things, the worse it gets really. The study he's referring to was one right before the Roe v Wade decision by a Dr Mecklenburg and it has been used a lot by anti-abortion people ever since. The study is insane and worth looking up. Some of the supporting evidence was from Nazi death camps where they would send Jewish women to mock executions and then check if they were ovulating.

UH OH:quote:What was more surprising is that people who got the new coverage were generally happy with the product. Overall, 73 percent of people who bought health plans and 87 percent of those who signed up for Medicaid said they were somewhat or very satisfied with their new health insurance. Seventy-four percent of newly insured Republicans liked their plans. Even 77 percent of people who had insurance before—including members of the much-publicized group whose plans got canceled last year—were happy with their new coverage. http://www.dailykos.com/story/2014/07/10/1312995/-New-survey-shows-why-Republicans-anti-Obamacare-campaign-keeps-getting-nbsp-harder
