FUCK YOU TACO.

Since I've been getting it in the neck in regards to this site and "it can't get much worse" aesthetic, what do you think will be the next move by the management to make this site even more unreadable?

Bonus fun: Vote this up in the firehose. If you can find it.

Looking over the Minecraft Server startup scripts that are around, I found myself nodding my head and thinking "I see what you did there" instead of staring blankly.

Guess I don't quite qualify as a Linux noob anymore, which is nice.

I found this and immediately thought everyone here would enjoy this. It's a shot of Michelle Bachman's naked ass taken apparently with her knowledge.

The Tea Party is dead*. After all, the elites will not let a bunch of principled idiots tank a State's economy.

Or the GOP, as I still think it could go either way. But my money's still on the guys with the fats stacks of cash, so...

Happy Birthday Iceland! See you in 2014!

The greatest thing I did today was hold down the volume up button on my G15 keyboard.

Shit fell off the shelves, it was awesome. 'For Whom The Bell Tolls' just started. Laters.

This is how you destroy a presidential run. Won't have any affect in the primaries of course, but he's got his own problems there anyway.

But if he reaches the nationals, that pic will be everywhere, if not already stored in everyone's unconscious. They've Dean screamed him before he's even started. Very impressive.

Notice the contrast, too: The cover hints at an entirely positive story about the benefits of being a Mormon, coincidentally one of his big stumbling blocks with the Conservative base. So not only do they want him as the GOP candidate, any criticism of the picture and its negative effects on Romney's campaign will be met with incredulous protestations to the contrary.

I was going to do this anyway, but this definitely seal the deal: Any triumphalist conservatives want to put their money where their mouth is? A $5 Slashdot sub sez Obama's reelected 2012. And I'll be happy as a pig in shit to pay out because fake conservatives are way more entertaining than fake liberals. Honestly, I'll be be getting a bargain if I lose.

He's right. I started at Linda Ronstadt and ended up at Philosophy in about 20 clicks or so.

Because apparently none of the rest of you savages have a soul.

Someone on another site made the valid point that, without Hulk Hogan, the Macho Man would probably have been the "It" guy for the 80's WWF.

Mind you, I was a "Rowdy" Roddy Piper guy from the get go. And this was before They Live. Go figure.

Right, after having to read for the thousandth time about how Bush 1 had massive approval levels shortly before being swept out of office and how that pertains to Obama and "anything can still happen!", let me straighten out a few things.

1) For starters, Bush stopped at the Iraqi border and didn't pursue Saddam, whereas Obama happily invaded a sovereign country to get Osama. If you think that's meaningless, I invite you to leave your basement and go out and meet some of your fellow Americans.

2) There is no Clinton in this race: Huckabee's out. And Huckabee ain't no Clinton anyway.

3) There is no Perot to siphon off votes in this race. Best you're going to get is Kucinich and whoever the Green Party gets to run.

4) Obama is not Bush Sr. Which is to say he's not some ancient crusty white dude who keeps passing out in public and puking on foreign dignitaries.

5) Last but not least, Bush's election was a pretty big fluke. The main reasons he got elected in the first place was the fact he didn't seem involved in any of the Reagan scandals and that his opposition was that chump Dukakis. Hell, historically speaking, incumbent VPs dont get elected President. Gary Trudeau had a whole long running bit in Doonesbury referencing it, fer crying out loud.

Not saying Obama can't lose, but it's very unlikely, and the precedent the pundits (and other assorted idiots here) are trying to push has zero bearing on that.

So, what's the under/over on how long until this footage leaks?

Lots of light chatter on the 'Pakistan situation', by the usual bobbleheads, followed by silence. After all, everybody knows what the fundamental differences are between Afghanistan and Pakistan, otherwise morons like Railgunner would be fulminating a call for action to wipe those Pakis from the face of the earth.

Which puts Iran once again into perspective. The only reason the US wants to deny them nuclear capability is that it forever precludes invasion. Can't have that.

So, I'm now logged out on the FP page while logged into the rest of the site, lots of CSS and links still borked, and the Journal Spam has reached untold new heights, and comment numbers on FP stories continue to plummet. Hell, numbers of FP stories continue to plummet. Even the trolls are gone, that's how sad this place is.

Great work guys! Someone will use all this in a future case study on how to kill a once popular site. They'll talk about this place in the same way as they will Myspace.
