Re: Cat Stevens: Bitter Blue
That really takes me back. His voice, and the attitude of his lyrics, have always really reached me.
I was actually worried that he was lip synching, until he screwed the song up, twice. I've tried playing his music for years, without a lot of success. I think this song is in 7/4 time.

Re: Arrest at G20 Demonstrations: 09 24 2009
Cognitive dissonance is the tea-baggers preferred mental state. I'm sure they have no problem with the government cracking down on leftist protestors using death squad-like tactics, even as they denounce government involvement in health care.
Re: Kids vs The Marshmallow Test
I feel sorry for the control group. They sit them in front of an empty plate and yell "No marshmallow for you!"
Re: Obama Health Reform Address, Complete Speech
Majority opinion is only one aspect of how U.S. democracy works. A small number of people who care enough about something to write their representatives, go to meetings, and work the media can make change happen, even if the rest of the country doesn't care. A lot of research on specific diseases gets funded because a small number of people affected by it organize and lobby government. The citizens loudly agitating against government involvement in health care may be half-crazy, paranoid, and gullible, but they're motivated. If the people who support health care reform had half that motivation, we would already have passed the president's plan.

I didn't know Monty Python did educational films.
Re: Barney Frank to Hitler Woman: What Planet Are You from?
I'm an admin, though mostly inactive these days. I wasn't the one who deleted your comment, but I would have had I seen it first. I'm sure you can make your point without homophobic name calling.

Wait, I thought it was "Cash for Clunkers" that was supposed to be amended to become the genocide bill?

Re: Taxi: Christopher Lloyd
I spent a year of my life, making a macrame couch.
Re: Forever Wedding Entrance Dance
I teared up when I watched this the first time. People do stunts at weddings all the time, but this is the first one I've seen that is really an expression of joy. If there is any event in life that should be totally Bollywood, it's a wedding.
Re: Chris Rock on Michael Jackson
When he first started to act crazy, it seemed a bit tragic, but his craziness started to seem more and more to be an example of what a person could get away with if he had enough money and fame. After years of having him subject us at regular intervals to the tragedy of his life, it's hard to respond to his death with respectful restraint.
Re: Opening a Can of Honey in Microgravity
I want to invent a time machine just so I can go back and tell people on the street "In the future, man will eat honey out of a can in space."
Re: MTV Movie Awards 09: Bruno Teabags Eminem
Eminem has made a career of highlighting how damaged and fucked up he is, not how tough he is. Laughing off a mildly humiliating prank at a public awards ceremony takes a depth of character that he's never claimed to have.
Re: Ventura vs Hasselbeck: Torture, The View
These people (defenders of torture) really need to start thinking about their legacy. 9/11 really screwed us Americans up. We're a damaged people who have been acting crazy, but we're beginning to heal. Our sense of moral perspective is coming back, and those who don't stop defending torture as if it were a sane policy are going to be stuck with their statements for the rest of their lives.
