Raw has become "The Triple H Show" and Smackdown's just another bad UPN sitcom.

Whether you intended it or not, I am taking that as a compliment.

Yes, by all means, let's add quotas measuring political affiliation to college hiring practices. It seems to me like conservatives dominate departments for fields that conservatives tend to go into (i.e. business and economics), whereas liberals dominate departments that liberals tend to go into (i.e. sociology, education, social work). That's just kind of the way it worked out.

In this case, I definitely think they are. Sensationalism has become the media's bias of choice. Its not jsut the media, though. This is the biggest thread in this folder, and that's WITHOUT pages-long arguments over the meaning of the word "clear" or gay sex skits.

Yes. Yes, it is.

A lot fewer than in the past. Things are actually going better in Iraq. And I'm sure it's a coincidence that press coverage has tapered off. -=Mike Press reports what stories they think will get them the most ratings. People care more about Shiavo than they care about Iraq right now, which is sad beyond belief.

They recounted the votes to see who would get Florida's electoral votes. That's hardly acting as if electoral law did not exist. So you're saying that the whole month we sat waiting to find out the result of the recount, it was absolutely clear to everyone what the outcome was going to be? And that when the recount was stopped, there was no controversy over it?

Man, I can't wait until after she's dead so everyone can see how stupid they're being about this. Its just ONE woman, who hasn't had a coherent thought in over a decade. How many soldiers have died in Iraq in the last month? I'd rather save my tears for THEM.

Well, the papers who recounted. And anybody who studied it. If it was so clear what happened, why did the papers do recounts? Why did others even bother studying it? Hmmm????? Because people have a habit of studying elections. Clinton's wins ALSO got studied. It's called history. -=Mike No, they studied it because the outcome was controversial. Newspapers did not do recounts of the states Clinton won. They studied it results of the election were not clear. When Theodore White wrote the "Making of the President" books back in the 60s and 70s, he wasn't going to Florida and examining dimpled chads. He was doing it for history. The studies by the press were done to CLARIFY what happened during the election because the outcome wasn't CLEAR. The recounts were done because the outcome wasn't CLEAR.

Well, the papers who recounted. And anybody who studied it. If it was so clear what happened, why did the papers do recounts? Why did others even bother studying it? Hmmm?????

I don't get it either. Even if the newspaper reported them in a way that actively helped the mayor's opponents, they should still be protected by freedom of the press.

The sad part is that you might be right. "Wow, that one car over there is going to save me 50% of my gas costs over what I'm currently driving, but it doesn't look as good as that new H2 that gets 2 mpg!" People are so fucking stupid.

Mike, you and the Bush Administration were the only people who the results of that election were clear to.

Gold.

Damn, those hybrid cars that get 50+ miles to the gallon sure are flying off the lot. Blame the consumers for not buying them. Car manufacturers are trying to find ways to produce them more cheaply because if they can pull that off, the sky is the limit for how much money they could make. -=Mike So what makes you think the consumers will want to buy a car with an oil alternative? Why would car manufacturers want to spend billions developing a product no one wants to buy?

So there WERE irregularities in Florida that put the outcome in question, thus making it less clear! I knew it!

It was close --- but it was clear. In Washington, it was close --- and not even remotely clear. -=Mike **cough**double standard**cough** **cough**Bush didn't win only after losing 2 recounts**cough** **cough**Bush didn't have a Republican stronghold with more votes than voters than the overall margin of victory**cough** -=Mike **cough**ballot irregularities that favored Bush in Florida**cough** **cough**ballot approved by both parties before the election and designed by a Democrat**cough** **cough**The state attorney general was involved with the recount and was a Gore campaigner.**cough** **cough**And I suppose a mention of anything Harris did wrong will be forthcoming**cough** -=Mike **cough**your just proving my point for me that the outcome wasn't clear because there were multiple irregulaties on both sides**cough** **cough**Except no irregularities actually occurred**cough** -=Mike **cough**but you just named like 5 on your own**cough** edit: This has now become the world's most unproductive doctor's exam.

Why would car companies want to not spend the money to totally redesign their product when their current product is selling so well? Hmmm, why could that be????

Do you think the car manufacturers aren't? Wow, you're naive.

.......... ..........the CE folder really took a weird turn very abruptly. My friend, you couldn't even qualify to write Star Trek slash fics. I guess I'd better stick to my fucking awesome political rants.

I never said Bush didn't win. I just said the outcome wasn't clear. I alledged no conspiracy, just the uncertainty which hung over our country for an entire month after the election over who the next president was going to be.
