I don’t have a problem with the discussion becoming all mental health all the time…so long as everyone recognizes that stockpiling weaponry is a symptom of mental illness.

This is a thing of beauty, Tbogg. Well done.

TomHilton commented on the blog post Everybody Is A Critic These Days Yet Nobody Goes To The Movies Anymore
Except that right or wrong isn’t really the point of this critique. The point is people tossing out opinions without adequate information on which to base them. If Greenwald, say (or anyone who endorsed the movie without seeing it, for that matter) turns out to be “right”, it’s purely coincidence–not the result of knowing what they were talking about.
(And for the record, I don’t think Greenwald is an idiot. I do know for incontrovertible fact that he is a lying sack of shit.)

Jesse Taylor effectively says what I was going to say: the #tcot hashtag is more often used for mockery than as endorsement.
Or maybe our mockery of these sad little people is just one more sign that they’re crushing us.

Well, Kevin Drum actually has integrity to salvage.
Greenwald, not so much.

Well of course it “looks like intimidation”. I mean, the guy is black. What further evidence of intimidation do you need?

TomHilton commented on the blog post Obama To Maybe Win In November; Front Page Commenters Hardest Hit.
As Scott Lemieux reminded us yesterday, we President Chomsky and House Speaker Avakian wouldn’t have been elected in 2004 if Nader hadn’t tipped the election in 2000. So history is clearly on the side of the front pagers.

I dream of a world when every day can be NW-STFU Day.

I got as far as the object being both shiny and transparent (like a soap bubble, maybe?) and then bailed. Nobody pays me to read Jen Rubin.

Apparently so; now I get a “This

Next time I have nachos I am definitely putting hollandaise sauce on them.

TomHilton commented on the blog post Me, Myself, But Not I
At first I read that as “…smoldering pile of dildoes”. Which seemed oddly appropriate, in a kind of non-linear way.

What’s the problem? Pizza guy’s plan is just great for the upper crust.

The video is totally fake. Just look at it–the kerning is all wrong.

TomHilton commented on the blog post On Joseph Kony, War Powers and Liberal Interventionism
One suggestion? I think the debate would have shed more light than heat (I think that’s what you meant) if you hadn’t a) headlined your post with “White House starts a mini-war in Africa” and b) falsely claimed that the action in question wasn’t authorized by Congress.
As I said, just a suggestion.

Sadly, no. Check the date.

TomHilton commented on the blog post On Joseph Kony, War Powers and Liberal Interventionism
Sorry, but this is just completely fucking insane. The President taking action with explicit Congressional authorization* is not a precedent for presidents taking action without Congressional authorization. (Note the words “with” and “without”? Those are two different things.)
And if the President doesn’t have “constitutional authority to conduct foreign policy”, that’ll come as news to the State Department.
*Doesn’t matter what Feingold says or doesn’t say now about what he thought or didn’t think at the time; the authorization is explicit in the text of the bill. As has been pointed out to you.

TomHilton commented on the blog post “Meatskin tango, she says. God-awful messy business that is.”
28 Days Later is one of the rare sequels that’s infinitely better than the original, at least partly because it doesn’t have Sandra Bullock in it.

TomHilton commented on the blog post They Shoot Warlords, Don’t They?
That’s not single-payer; that’s a description of the public option. The part about “…the new public plan or an approved private plan” is kind of a tip-off that there’s more than one payer.
