I rock at this game. I'm Clinton and I'm kicking ass and taking names. Notice how much the computer cheats in the harder bits of the campaign mode? Spending like, $30 million when it's near impossible to raise that much money while balancing ads, HQs, speeches and political capital? But, they ARE Republicans I guess.

O'Reilly sucks at debating.

If you live in a distant country and cannot find a copy, suprnova has a link to a popular torrent where you can....trial it. Achem.

Watching the replay now, it's pretty impressive. Stadium was filled with water, then a comet hit it and lit the flames of the Olympic rings, and then a little kid came out on an origami boat, then some pregnant chick came out holding Caeser's head, and then this massive head came out of the water and turned into little pieces of humanity and now there's dancers and weird costumes. Opening ceremonies are wack.

If Free Trade is so great for America, then how come the one you just signed with Australia is anything but?

I've said it before and I'll say it again - America is full of prudes.

Hey, if they offered them for FREE they'd get even more buys!

You're looking for a game called Hollywood Mogul, I think. It's an actual sim game, like EWR or Championship Manager.

The "anybody but Clinton" bloc would have drawn just as many voters. You think people actually wanted President DOLE?

It looks even worse if we don't know where they came from. And if you're posting stuff from partisan sources, it raises questions as to whether the info is genuine. And if its questionable info, we'll be wasting time discussing it.

What if you're an accountant with a small business?! WHAT THEN?!

HBK was small, but he was ripped. Paul London looks like Ricky Steamboat at the age of 14. No casual fans would ever take him seriously as a main eventer, or even a solid midcarder, because he doesn't look like a legit threat. Simple as that.

The highlight was hearing the convention director's microphone on CNN after Kerry's speech, yelling at the crew to 'drop more fucking balloons!'.

It's the sound something makes when it goes over someone's head.

He's not calling tubby people sacks of shit, he's calling Mike Moore, who just happens to be fat, a sack of shit. And even if he WAS insulting fat people, how come you only want him to apologise to America's fat people? What about the fat people of Canada, or Britain, or Australia? Are you some kind of fat-ist?

That Obama guy is going to be President one day. This is the first convention I've watched, but that guy was ELECTRIFYING. He's like The Rock mixed with Bill Clinton.

Just watched The Factor on Fairandbalanced TV with the Moore vs O'Reilly Cage Match. O'Reilly won. Moore had one good thing going where he compared Bush's "mistake" in the WMD info to the mistake of a guy running someone over in a car, and then asked O'Reilly if he would hold the driver responsible if he had hit O'Reilly's child. O'Reilly tried to say only if was intentional (his point was that Bush couldn't have lied because he didn't have the right info). But then O'Reilly asked Moore how he'd remove dictators if not through force, and Moore said some bullshit about the people rising up, and the world rising up like in the case of South Africa (rrriiggghhttt). The icing on the cake was O'Reilly's last word, after Moore had left, when he said that Moore was a 'blind ideologist'. When Bill O'Reilly is calling you a blind ideologist, you know you lost.

The delegates from the primaries do their nomination dance and officially nominate Kerry as the Democratic Candidate. In the distant past, the candidate wasn't known before the convention, so they actually meant something more than 'WHOO WE ROCK!'

And isn't it TNAW, not NWA-TNA these days?

I'm pretty sure anyone who listens to Hannity, Savage, Rush and O'Reilly aren't going to be voting for Kerry come November anyway. They are just like Moore, they preach to the converted. They also suck.

Tax breaks, fully functioning studios, decent exchange rate, better and cheaper crews.

Well, why don't we put you in a hijacked plane, with little knowledge of what weapons the terrorists had (I'm pretty sure they didn't brag about the fact they only had box cutters), and even less knowledge of what they were going to do with you, and see how heroic you are.

(full article at ABC.net.au) Hard to really condemn him for this, considering the crimes the insurgents committed against the country, and I guess Iraq likes their leaders to bust some skulls every now and then. The article questions the source of the reports, but the Sydney Morning Herald is one of the most reputable papers in the world, and McGeough isn't exactly a rookie journalist. Still, we can't be 100% sure this is an accurate report, so we shouldn't condemn or praise Allawi just yet.

The only American cable news network we get in Australia "as is" (we get CNN and CNBC, but they're 'international' versions) is Fox, so I don't know if this is just them, but can cable news get over the Laci Peterson case? Is it really that interesting to warrant at the very least, half an hour of discussion a day? Like, he killed her. We get it already.

Al Qaeda can take over countries now? What, with their Armoured Divisions and extensive Air Force? Took over Afghanistan nicely. -=Mike Al Qaeda had a relationship with the Taliban. They were never in control of the country.
