  • Can't see why he'd be "violent and aggressive." He's a .209 hitter making $15.5 million. It'd be hard to find a better example of remunerated incompetence outside the CEO ranks.

• Cheney lawyer claims Congress lacks power to conduct oversight over vice president

  Tue Apr 29, 2008
  • So, wait. If the VP is above the law, then what's to stop all the power from accruing to him? If this argument succeeds, then the office of the President would be no more than a figurehead, and all the dirty deeds necessary can be run through the VP.

• In France, Prisons Filled With Muslims

  Tue Apr 29, 2008
  • That's a very orientalist, slippery-slope view of things. Nobody is talking about forcing non-Muslim Europeans to wear headcoverings, now or in the future. That's something that many Muslim countries themselves don't require of their citizens.

• Year in Review: Best Albums of 2007, Number 1

  Fri Dec 14, 2007
  • How do our lists compare with yours? Which albums have we grossly overlooked from 2007? Please do chime in. Robert Plant & Alison Krauss, Raising Sand. It's my #1. I can't even think of a close second.

• Judge allows class action against Target Web site

  Wed Oct 3, 2007
  • Having seen this argument in every Slashdot post with the word "accessibility" or "lawsuit" in it, I am compelled to respond with the only thing that will end this particular ping-pong match: Your hardline libertarianism has been duly noted.

  • @JoulesBeef: some pointers.. pretty much what was said above and avoid flash. if ya want to see what your site is like, use windows narator. This is awful advice, as it only perpetuates a story that was once true, but largely isn't anymore.
