Big Ol' Smitty Posted November 17, 2004 Author Report Posted November 17, 2004 Post of the Day. Your sig kicks ten kinds of ass. I almost forgot about the Macho Man. Thank you for reminding me.
Slickster Posted November 17, 2004 Report Posted November 17, 2004 Thanks! I'm proud of this because it's the first thing I've ever made using PSDs in Photoshop.
Big Ol' Smitty Posted November 17, 2004 Author Report Posted November 17, 2004 The Macho Man had great fashion sense.
Guest Cerebus Posted November 17, 2004 Report Posted November 17, 2004 This guy assumes too much. It started out ok, but he fucked up near the end. And Macho Man's rapping ability blew away his fasion sense in awesomeness.
Big Ol' Smitty Posted November 17, 2004 Author Report Posted November 17, 2004 I liked this On both sides, discourse now moves swiftly from disagreement into demonizing, from contrast to caricature. The worst motives are always assumed. Both camps have polemicists who win popularity, ratings, and book sales by devising ever more clever ways of ripping the eyelids off their opponents. We all know the visceral satisfactions of hanging out with our home-team blogs and watching the TV or radio stations that fit our worldview. Our politicians and pundits happily supply us with the voodoo dolls and the pins. But we'd be smarter not to use them.
Guest Cerebus Posted November 17, 2004 Report Posted November 17, 2004 That's why we need something like Pardon the Interruption for politics. Knowledgable people that don't take everything so seriously yet can talk about politics without verbally jerking off their party.
kkktookmybabyaway Posted November 17, 2004 Report Posted November 17, 2004 I got dibs on Tony's seat -- I'd own the Wilbon replacement with just one LOL2004 remark...
Jobber of the Week Posted November 17, 2004 Report Posted November 17, 2004 What a bunch of excuses. Figures it's from a spirituality website.
Dr. Tom Posted November 17, 2004 Report Posted November 17, 2004 I got dibs on Tony's seat -- I'd own the Wilbon replacement with just one LOL2004 remark... A little black kid came up to me today and asked if it was OK to be a panelist on a TV show...
CheesalaIsGood Posted November 18, 2004 Report Posted November 18, 2004 An interesting read. Still, even though many of the points made can be true, there are still assholes on both sides that don't seem to know how to curb their excesses. I think there ARE religious types who would love to impose a theocracy! Abortion IS morally repugnant, and could be abolished if the circumstances for its need were eliminated. So when you give an inch and they take a mile, no wonder no one is betting on the side of compromise. Its a nice ideal to have everyone recognize what the guy wrote about as truth but I'm not going to count on it. Humans are all too human, and they are greedy. I'd love to be shown I was wrong, but yanno about that experience thing....
TheBigSwigg Posted November 18, 2004 Report Posted November 18, 2004 I think it's discussing more of general America and not politicians. I'd like my in-laws to read it so they quit assailing me with Fox News reports proving that liberals are evil. Okay, that was a bit of an exaggeration, but it's close.
