    Punditus Maximus commented on the blog post Five Hawtest Ladysplainers Splainin’ Sexywrongtalk To You

    As “Skakira Ass” guy will tell ya, there’s nothing more articulate than praising a woman on her looks.

    Isn’t Obama gonna cut Social Security or something? Anyways, let’s mansplain some stuffs.

    Punditus Maximus commented on the diary post The Freedom To Be Impoverished: Matt Yglesias’ Perverse Logic on the Minimum Wage by Julie Gutman Dickinson.

    2013-03-09 07:46:34View | Delete

    Yglesias himself probably doesn’t believe this; Slate specializes in a certain type of Contrarian Troll argument that this article exemplifies. He’s just cashing a paycheck.

    This is a stupid argument. SCOTUS is simply not going to get into a fight of this magnitude between the Executive and Congress.

    I don’t know why, but those little Pikachus in the lower left corner really put that image over for me.

    I will never understand why, in some circles, one can punch a hippie and automatically be right.

    I mean, if you’re a Republican, just be a fucking Republican. If not, have some goddamn sympathy for people who haven’t given up on this country and/or don’t have other options.

    Biden woulda won if he’d promised to protect Social Security, but there are some things more important than winning to the Obama/Biden ticket.

    Punditus Maximus commented on the blog post Negative Ad Blitz Erodes Support for California GMO Labeling Initiative

    2012-10-12 12:20:13View | Delete

    The sad truth is, my scientifically educated family is absolutely convinced that GMO is the second coming of Christ and that all opposition to it is driven by pure ignorance.

    No number of food allergies, which keep getting worse and more numerous each year, will persuade them otherwise…

    Punditus Maximus commented on the diary post Obama – What does he know and when did he know it ? by cmaukonen.

    2012-10-12 09:55:19View | Delete

    The one thing I agree with on this is that Obama is a firm and unshakable believer in American decline.

    Punditus Maximus commented on the diary post Former US Supreme Court Judge O’Connor says criticizers of SCOTUS are uneducated by Don Mashak.

    2012-10-09 13:15:41View | Delete

    Liberty and tyranny is a Zero Sum game. Every gain in authority by the government must necessarily result in the loss of liberty for the individual.

    Ah, found your problem. You believe something really stupid and you’re trying to shoehorn the world into it. Liberty is not remotely a zero-sum game, and even if it were, [...]

    I am related to these people. It is exactly as awful as you think it is.

    2012-10-05 08:06:39View | Delete

    So, someone help me out with this one:

    Given that I’m not in a swing state, so my vote for President doesn’t count at all, why wouldn’t I vote for Stein? I can’t help Obama, and I can’t help Romney. Isn’t that more or less the definition of when the Obamans say I should be “allowed” to register my displeasure — when Obama can safely totally ignore me?

    The problem is that the President, instead of the Candidate, was on state last night.

    Wait, the Obama-criticizers have a point now that you’ve seen Obama in action?

    Well, took you long enough. But welcome to the party anyways.

    Punditus Maximus commented on the blog post Obama’s Second Term Goal: Cut Social Security

    2012-10-04 08:36:22View | Delete

    I really hate that Obama would rather lose the election than protect Social Security. What a fucking joke.

    Conservatism is a mental illness, not a philosophy.

    Thanks for admitting that it was pointless hippie-punching, at least.

    “Our “First World” status was primarily due to having an intact industrial base after WWII, ”

    I thought it was due to building that industry up in the first place. Silly me.

    Punditus Maximus commented on the diary post “Leaderless” movements, “no-boss” collectives, and other left-radical hypocrisy by Sarah Morrigan.

    2012-09-30 08:34:20View | Delete

    This is something of a chicken/egg problem. The entire Occupy paradigm is that people who actually do Really Want It can help one another advocate and listen. But if you bring the same hierarchy-driven smash-em-up into a consensus group that you’re pretending to be against, then you’ll either create a mob running on charisma or [...]
