Thanks for the hat tip dsmallwood!

Willard’s obviously a skinjob. I’m not too sure about the other candidate either.

@omar #9,

Jon Shafer still owes me $50 for the steaming pile of Civ 5 he left on my desktop. Civ 4 forever (or until Derek Paxton gets put in charge of Civ 6.)

Seriously, try the Fall from Heaven 2 mod for Civ 4. It’s not just better than 5 is, it’s better than 5 even hopes to be.

GeneralGarbage,

It’s not that FOX would refuse to broadcast a show with Noam Chomsky. It’s that Noam Chomsky would haughtily refuse to host a show on FOX.

But even more than that: everyone not currently in a coma would refuse to watch the Noam Chomsky Show.

My 2d paragraph is to suggest that a president Romney would be more proactive about getting a nuke to detonate in the desert. If that happens it couldn’t have been a us nuke or an Israeli numeric so it will be must have been an Iranian device.

Burgers, with the US already in several unending wars, bombing civilians on the flimsiest of pretexts, and both parties boorishly competing to prove they’re more belligerent and militarist – and overwhelming bipartisan agreement that we must somehow gin up a new war with Iran by any means necessary – I don’t see this “difference” that you speak of.

If I read your second paragraph correctly, you’ve also bought into the cable news propaganda that the entire country of Iran is just a 74 million-strong suicide cult.

Just step away from the idiot box. Remember that war is the health of the State.

@16:

Doesn’t which candidate is elected make a difference on whether the US goes to war or not?

It seems like with a President Romney there will be an Iranian nuke going off in, or near, Israel, or perhaps an Iranian terrorist attack in the US, but with more President Obama that isn’t going to happen.

If that conjecture is true then that is a real diffo.

@#30 -

“MSNBC is the Democrats’ equivalent to Faux News. ”

Because Fox gives Noam Chomsky 3 hours every morning, amirite?

Hmmm… MSNBC engages for 5 minutes in the kind of thing that faux news does 24/7 and they get called out for it. Its good to see that there are still standards expected for the “liberal” media, even if they aren’t applied to the right wing “news” organizations.

MSNBC is the Democrats’ equivalent to Faux News. It’s really sad that anyone pays attention to this divisive BS.

Why? Because Romney and Obama only differ on emotive issues like gay marriage. They both lust to be the smiling face of the Empire – which stays the same whichever is in office: Salesman-in-Chief for the Complex. Head cheerleader for the Corporatocracy.

They’re both bought and paid for – only Romney is an actual oligarch; Obama is a telegenic hired hand. They both have the same sponsors and they dance to their tune.

The doughnut would make a better president than either candidate.
