  • Re: Is This Election "About Obama" or About Obama's Skin Color?

    ''Let The Senator go on Fox...'' Most of the MSM, to their credit, at least TRY to maintain a certain level of objectivity. FOX takes a certain pride in being what they perceive to be ''the opposite'' of the rest. By default, that would mean they make no attempt to be objective. Propaganda...ain't news!!!

  • the 'WHIMS' of the superdelegates??

    What a biased and intemperate article. How is that Sen. Clinton's need to secure the votes of the superdelegates can be dismissed as a last-ditch effort to rely on the 'whims' of these people, while Sen. Obama's absolute dependency on securing the very same votes of the very same people is somehow celebrated as natural and normal if not in fact ...

  • bill kristol's appointment to NYT

    I blew up when Kristol's appointment was announced - and the reason is simple: no one in the media that favored the war changed their minds. If anything, Iowa and Obama lit up that section of the fence. What is it that wants war when the war is so costly as to be beyond comprehension. The word now is ''change.'' So may it be, Frank ...

  • Just what the world needs more of...

    haircreme:From now on, from sun up to sun down I'm going to start blogging. For the next two and a half months, I will do nothing but blog cogent and clearly articulated thoughts on Slate.Even if I have nothing to say I'm going to start a chatroom for ruminations that make little to no sense but are clearly worded. I can't wait for that! Or ...

  • Nicotrol Inhalers

    The government is criminal for not allowing over the counter sales of Nicotrol Inhalers. They produce no smoke nor tar and only minimal nicotine which goes to the smoker alone, no one else. It is the only way I was able to quit a four pack a day habit. It annoys no one, my lungs are now clear and the house doesn't smell. Yet I still have to go ...

  • So I've been thinking of taking up a collection.

    How much would it take for you to quit posting to internet forums?

  • Oh, lets just cut to the chase.

    Why screw around with ethanol? We can use genetic hybridization to create a stem-cell propagated variant of a whale heart which will live in a solution inside the engine compartment of my car, providing a sugar-fueled hydraulic engine that is both emissions free and which, when worn out, can be recycled into pet food or used to make fajitas. ...

  • Oh, the usual way.

    I lit up some exotic incense, used a large piece of chalk to paint a pentagram on the floor, sat in the center, invoked the name of Ender (backwards, of course - bears a vague similarity to the pronunciation of ''rundeep'', which I'm sure is entirely coincidental. Or is it?) and sprinkled a little of my own blood over the keyboard while ...

  • Boundless opportunities

    Wow - Slate really is trying to cater to every taste. Who'da thunk it? At last - a place to post my really awful poetry! I can flame people, in all caps, speculate about you'all's sex lives, fictionalize brag about my own sex life, invite the Freditor to engage in anatomically unlikely activities with himself, the works! Embrace your shame, ...

  • Ah, Saletan was right after all.

    ''Dog breeders should be shot.'' You're out to eliminate the pernicious ''dog-breeder gene'' aren't you?
