1/21    Go Margaret!
        http://margaretcho.com/blog/frommichael.htm
        \_ I usually don't find Margaret Cho funny, but this
           is a riot!
        \_ Can we get Margaret an honorary csua account? She'd make an
           excellent addition to the motd.
           \_ Yeah she is about well informed about the budget as the
              average American. Entitlements have always taken a larger
              chunk than defense or places for the VP to relax.
              \_ See?  Even you can't resist being trolled by her.  We
                 should sign her up!
                 \_ The idea of a celebrity motd flame warrior is pretty
                    cool.
                    \_ Dude, seriously.  We could set her up with macho@csua
                       and watch the flames take off.
              \_ Straw man. She didn't say "entitlements." Go back and
                 reread and try again.
        \_ She wouldn't add anything to the motd.  We already have enough
           trolls, leftists, and ignorant ranting.  She could increase the
           4-letter-word count.  That's about it.
           \_ since the motd is mostly anonymos anyway, why don't we just
              pretend that she has an account?  Who'll know the difference?
              -mcho
              \_ mostly no one and no one will care.  go for it.
           \_ Sup, Republican ass monkey biyotch! --macho@csua

11/6    Four more years!
        \_ Yay! I look forward to 4 more years of doing absolutely nothing.
           It's a much better outcome than the alternative, which is 4 years
           of regress.
           \_ Can't argue with that.

        "The super rich pay a lot less taxes than they did a couple of decades
        ago, and nearly half of U.S. households pay no income taxes at all."
        And people are still complaining about taxes being too high.
        \_ yeah but only 3 out of the 5 people who aren't rich but complain
           are actually counted.

        http://www.csua.org/u/zwf
        \_ The NRA has a lot to answer for.
        \_ Oh, for fuck's sake.  We don't put taggants in gunpowder because it
           interferes with the proper functioning of a round of ammuntion.

        \_ Yeah, voters are stupid.
        \_ I'm disheartened that the most popular program to cut is the
           space program. I think most people assume it gets a lot more
           money than it does. As this article says, its budget is tiny

        Obama administration screws DC school kids. (in his defense, it is
        not clear that he really knows what the Sec. of Edu is doing, that
        he had anything to do with holding up study till after the vote, etc.
        Still, it seems that my hope that Obama may pull an "Only Nixon can
        go to China" on our broken EDU system, is way in vain.

1/28    One of the criticisms of the Patriot Act was that it was rammed
        through without any time for legislators to properly review
        it.  Isn't that the same problem with this $800B bill?
        \_ Is this $800B bill hundreds upon hundreds of pages long? It's not
           coming off the heels of a crisis in national defense; rather, it's
           attempting to fix a spiraling economy. Plus it seems that the

I know that I have not pulled punches with the way that I beat the shit out of Dumya, I mean Dubya, but there seemed to be nothing in the defense of his term of ruin, nobody exactly pointing out my perceived wrongs, nothing political at all. What was brought up for debate was answered by people telling me that I was a fat, ugly, gook that should go back to my country but before I left, fuck some pigs. Also, my comments were taken out of context, which is very important when you are a comedian. I was not delivering a speech, but merely there to spit my rhymes and recognize. I mean, I am not saying that you are lying or anything, but how come all my bosses have always been white men? Why is my experience with white men so different from your experience of being a white man? When you are in line with other white folks that you do not know, does the person behind the counter just assume you are all together? But you would rather have them used to make poor kids go to Iraq to kill and destroy a land that has nothing to do with ours except for the corporate money that wouldnt be pocketed by the citizens of the nation, but those who organized the fiasco? The taxes you pay are not going to the irresponsible or the illegitimate. They go to a complex array of laundering schemes, simulated searches for weapons of mass destruction, undisclosed locations for Cheney to kick it in style. The myth of you reaching in your purse and paying for the welfare/ghetto/thug/underage momma population who will not pull their own weight is a sad story that you bought with your own poverty of knowledge. I would > be saddled with alimony, > child support, limited visitation > rights. If my ex-wife sits at > home all day and gets strung > out on drugs and her live-in > boyfriend beats and abuses > my children there is very little > I can do to protect and shelter them. I resent the fact that if I fall in love with a woman, I wouldnt be able to make her my wife. I would not be able to have children with her because the government would not allow us to adopt them, or maybe we would have to give our children to Social Services because since we are the same sex, we are unfit for parenting. I want to make some people feel like they have a voice, that they could count on mine to speak up for them, that I am brave and a gangsta, that I love hip hop and Elliott Smith. I want to remember all the family, not from my homeland mind you, my chosen family, who are dead because of bigotry, ignorance, intolerance and make sure that they are not forgotten and did not die in vain.
