Brownie points? For what?

ACORN?

Do you seriously believe any of what was said about ACORN was true, Outerspec?

The points dealing with them being at the center of the housing crisis, yes, and all the accounts of voter fraud. I've only heard one perspective though.

[RBoar]

all the accounts of voter fraud.

What, you mean the voter registration forms? The voter registration forms that they had to collect and turn in, even if they were fraudulent, under obligation of law? A law that had, in fact, come under being due to Republican pressures?

I seriously hope you didn't get this from the same man who was responsible for Shirley Sherrod getting fired.

Hmmmm....ok. I also just found out ACORN was responsible for reporting some of the first cases of voter fraud.

I seriously hope you didn't get this from the same man who was responsible for Shirley Sherrod getting fired.

More like mainstream media but as I research this topic more now it seems the media latched on to these stories about ACORN whether they were true or false.

Still, I can't take away his brownie points once I've given them to him. They're not mine anymore. I can only hope he chokes on them or he's allergic to brownies.

You should really reconsider this policy of yours, especially because of just what he did. He might choke, but even then, he'll have tasted chocolate. And that's just terrible.

Yes, yes, I know. Rachel Maddow and MSNBC. It's automatic bias, but it's like saying Haaretz is in the wrong for the same reason. It's not good reporting and journalism, but isn't FOX. There's more on this obviously, and not just from here, but I am tired as all hell at the moment. I'll be able to continue this tomorrow, should someone not take it up for me.

Ah! You're tired? ;P Must be from informing me in two separate threads of how the world is today while demonstrating your superior knowledge of politics. Oh you cruel bastard.

Midnight over here, and the police have been doing some strange things down the block. Even if wear wasn't, noise is starting to get to me.

Ladies and Gentlemen, we have found Pandora.

Okay, so the planet's official and unofficial names are "Gliese 581g" and "Zarmina". But the way they describe the planet, it sounds like Pandora.

I should also mention that Mr. O'Keefe has a track record of attending White Supremacist rallies, and making comments on Planned Parenthood of a racist nature. In addition, when he was on Fox and Friends over the forged video he made where he constantly fabricated new and stupid lies, when he was questioned in disbelief over dressing up as a pimp, his response - in defending himself - was along the lines of "I'm like the whitest guy ever".

Sweet, sweet fudge.

Forbes' World's Most Powerful Women of 2010:
http://www.walletpop.com/blog/2010/1..._lnk3%7C175773

People are seriously freaking out about #1, which kind of bothers me.

Hidden:

#1 is Michelle Obama. Whether she's the most powerful or not is not what bothers me. What bothers me is that people are disturbed that she's #1.....and yet NO ONE mentions the shock that Lady Gaga is considered the 7th most powerful woman in the world!

I mean, I like Lady Gaga, but holy shit! 7th most powerful woman in the world? She's above Beyonce (who though has questionable power, DOES have power over the music industry) and Ellen Degeneres (a big name and powerful woman for gay rights). Then again, Lady Gaga does have her name in both music and gay rights. I don't know....

Where's the lady who is about two weeks away from becoming the head of state of Brazil?

People don't care enough about Brazil, even if a woman is become head of state.

Hell, people still think Spanish the language of Brazil.

Wait. Just wait. Brazil?

Is... is this the woman who's saying that she doesn't know anything about politics or administration, but runs because it beats whatever they've got? Or is that another candidate?

I might be getting things mixed up, but wasn't it a clown (I'm not joking) that got elected in Brazil?

No it's Lula's chosen successor.
