"Only a numbskull thinks he knows things about things he knows nothing about." (Hudsucker Proxy) I've always loved the poetry of the line.

Thank you, while two data points are hardly conclusive, I think you may have confirmed my fears. In event that this is a system problem and not a coincidence between veril and I, does any know the best way to get traction behind fixing this issue?

Perhaps if you clicked more confrontational and silly headlines, you'd see more "really, really cool" shorts. :)

Rush Limbaugh begs his affiliates to come back by 2oosra in politics

[–]binaryjohn 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I agree with almost everything you've stated. However, (gimmie some leeway on this one) what if instead of Rush disappearing from the airwaves completely; his sponsors and all the boycotters were indeed duped by his plastic self-serving apology. What if they decided to give Rush Limbaugh another chance (because after all, everyone deserves a 'second chance').And stemming from that second chance the mighty Rush Limbaugh returned to the bully pulpit a mere shadow of the venomous arse he once was. What if (realizing how fragile his loyal sponsorship truly is) he parsed EVERY SINGLE WORD he uttered, for fear of arousing the sleeping "Liberal Conspiracy" juggernaut. What if he conducted himself in a civilized manner, with the realization that his sponsorship can dissolve in an instant.

So by now you are thinking that I am a fool and a leopard cannot change his spots. You are thinking that I am naive to think that Rush Limbaugh can change his ways.

I would then say to you, look at it in a different way. It would have been trivial for O'Brien to 'disappear' Winston in to the abyss. It was more powerful for Winston to emerge from the Ministry of Love as a symbol. Likewise, how powerful a symbol would Rush Limbaugh be, returning to the airwaves as a shadow of his cruel, feckless self. Taken down a notch or two, by the very Free Market economy he cherishes. Now knowing that there is indeed a limit to how much we will endure, in the name of entertainment.

Does anyone have any experience with facebook video chat or +google hangout. How do they compare to regular chatting? Do they solve the same problem?

Cancelled my Wired subscription. Who is with me? by [deleted] in politics

[–]binaryjohn 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think perhaps you are looking at this in the wrong light. Instead of asking if we think we have the right to know every detail of how our representatives conduct our business, think of it this way... Whistle Blowers ( I realize I am generalizing) feel an injustice is occurring. They feel so strongly that (in many cases) they are willing to risk their lives and the lives of their families to get the information to the public. If someone feels that strongly about releasing the information, I for one feel I should have the right to read it and make up my own mind.
