There's a definite conflict of interest in the who is doing the reporting. Large numbers of casualties will reflect badly on the military and the federal government and I wonder how much pressure they're willing to exert even at the risk of being exposed for hiding the truth. If you're killing innocent people it is a pretty bad thing, it doesn't get much worse, even if you're trying to cover it up, so why not attempt to cover it up? I want to suggest an independent over-seerer to count the bodies, but why not use that political will to just get us the fuck out places where we end up killing children and people just trying to live their lives.

I have it on repeated anecdote from people who's come back from the other theatre that all the numbers are hugely underreported. I don't find that hard to believe.

Re: Where were you when Google launched the Google Chrome browser?

Well, the CSS should be the same as Webkit (I hope), but you know they'll throw in their own idiosyncracies (like for instance when it comes to operating system issues such as how buttons and text forms are rendered, etc).

Why a carbon tax rather than a "cap-and-trade" program?

Wow. Nevermind. I need to learn to read back in posts.

Valid points.

What do you make of all the "OMG SNIPERFIRE" and her using the Bobby Kennedy assassination 'analogy' (which, to this day, I still don't understand the point of her using it)?

You would've voted for Hillary? Really?

I'll bite. Why?

Thanks for your comment AJ. I haven't heard back yet. Would be nice to get at least some kind of reply

Re: Heart Crushing Reality: Obama’s FISA Betrayal

Thanks for the post Bjorn. Spurred me to submit my own:

Regarding the FISA betrayal: You "compromised" the constitution. The means don't justify the ends when the means destroy the ends.

The senator's betrayal of our civil rights by not supporting the filibuster against telecom immunity is unacceptable.

While you may feel that certain political machinations are necessary to secure democratic victory in major elections, this base betrayal of the American People is the capitulation and abuse of power I'm voting against.

I did--I called hq, and they said the web form won't work; you should email your request to ddozier@barackobama.com. I haven't heard back but at least that way your message gets read by a real live human.

What exactly is your motivation here? Hehe.

Your Mother — Wed, 21 May 2008 22:32:55 -0000

Millions of points are made on the internet every day, and millions of those points are rebutted and counter-rebutted. Waste as much time as you like observing your arguments disappearing like a noodle into the world's largest Cup-O-Soup. If changing opinions were as easy as correcting logical errors, there would be no political parties and we would all be of one mind. People and their visceral feelings are not program code - they can't be logically debugged like a for loop.

Re: Blog Pundits

BjornTipling — Wed, 21 May 2008 22:18:33 -0000

Yeah except these blogs aren't just anybody. They're widely read enough to make it to the top of popular memetrackers. Which means a lot of people believe this nonesense and I think it's worth arguing against.

Just because a point is made on the internet, doesn't mean it's not worth arguing. That's a stupid argument.

Have you ever heard the saying, "Arguing on the Internet is like competing in the Special Olympics?"
