Well, no one here has quoted Chaucer to me, but I've met 14 year olds who can take apart an engine and rebuild it in the time it takes 'educated New Yorkers" to cut a Mumia stencil. The people I've met here have real life skills, the kind that 'educated' people like you need when your car battery dies in the middle of the night. When was the last time somebody called you specifically at 4am with an emergency that only you could fix?
I say go.
adn I'll NEVER move back to NYC. That's my promise to you, buddy. Siberia first.

This kind of sums up Roger's entire history from what I've seen. Whine all you want about Mumia lib'ruls, but you're the most pathetic cliché in the book. Every stereotype of a young, angry, ignorant and scared straight white male in the book.

well, im not a "you people", more of a person really, and i cant speak for anyone else. but, yes, i would be less than happy with that scenario. i would prefer if bush didnt draw up any lists, didnt go anywhere, and didnt start any unilateral laws, and didnt act unilaterally as a selfappointed global policeman.
in fact, if he avoided all these things, not only would i find that good, i would also find it 'interesting'

*Womens rights, reproductive and otherwise, and minority rights will be set back 50 years.
*No embryonic stem cell research for at least the next 4 years, probably more ... so much for cures for diabetes, parkinsons, alzheimers, etc.
*Separation of church & state likely weakened further ... a nice little gift for the evangelicals that handed Bush this election.
*Alaska wildlife refuge to be opened for oil drilling...
*At least 4 more years' ignorance of global warming and other environmental calamities in the making...
*And, of course, the rape of other countries for their oil and other actions that benefit the big corporations that helped Bush get elected, at the expense of the lives of our soldiers, will continue unabated ...
And, best of all, the whole world knows that we blew our best chance to fucking take this country back and change things for the better. So now, when terrorists hit us with another 9/11-style attack (which is almost certainly coming, and Bush ain't gonna protect us), show me one country that is going to feel sorry for us. They will all laugh at our downfall, knowing that we brought it on ourselves, and I don't blame them anymore. This country has been hijacked by fucktards.

Bunning. DeMint. Coburn. Martinez. Burr.
Every one of them batshit insane. Every one of them a United States Senator, as of 10:40 Eastern tonight.
No, folks, I’m not despairing. The country is, and will always be, worth fighting for. I’m not saying 'everything sucks, so why bother' (as Mike suggested in a comment to the previous post). But we here in the reality-based community are constrained by empirical results, and we know now that we will have to deal with a Senate chock full of lunatics who spend 30 percent of their waking hours trying to figure out how to bring Christ to earth and the other 70 percent fantasizing about (and then, with a fervor commensurate with the intensity of the fantasy, decrying) man-on-dog sex. Well, except for Bunning, who spends 40 percent of his waking hours trying to figure out what day it is.
It is still unclear what the executive branch will look like. But I don’t see any landslide coming. . . .
