3/27    man, gotta hate that liberal media
        http://salon.com/news/col/cona/2002/03/28/whitewater/index_np.html
        \_ Why do you quote defenses of Bill Clinton by those who
           proverbially suck his dick.  Do just 30 minutes of
           INDEPENDENT research into the crimes for which he was accussed,
           just one of which he happened to be convicted by the House of
           Representatives.  Are you that morally and ethically depraved
           that you defend the vulgar narcisistic slime that is Bill
           Clinton?
        \_ Great first line.  I wonder if Joe Consason wrote that line himself
           or it was Salon adding their two cents.  Anyway, whatever the
           source they obviously didn't read the same final white water report
           the rest of the world read.  I wonder where they get the special
           edition from?  Also, I still can't figure out how Hillary 'lost'
           those billing records for years only to magically find them on her
           desk a week after the statute of limitations expired.  What an
           ironic and oddly fun world we live in!  I think "Socks ate my
           records!" would've gone over better but I'm not a lawyer.

2/10    I like Woz, and I like iWoz, but let me tell ya, no one worships
        him because he has the charisma of an highly functioning
        Autistic person. Meanwhile, everyone worships Jobs because
        he's better looking and does an amazing job promoting himself
        as God. I guess this is not the first time in history. Case in
        point, Caesar, Napolean, GWB, etc. Why is it that people

11/2    California Uber Alles is such a great song
        \_ Yes, and it was written about Jerry Brown. I was thinking this
           as I cast my vote for Meg Whitman. I am independent, but I
           typically vote Democrat (e.g., I voted for Boxer). However, I
           can't believe we elected this retread.
           \_ You voted for the billionaire that ran HP into the ground

2/20    Ok serious question, NOT political.  This is straight up procedural.
        Has it been declared that we didn't find WMD in iraq? (think so).
        So why did we go into iraq (what was the gain), and if nobody really
        knows, why is nobody looking for the reason?
        \_ Political stability, military strategy (Iran), and to prevent
           Saddam from financing terrorism.

8/5     Regarding NKorea relesing the journalists, here's what I think the
        actual deal between Kim and Obama is:
        - Both agree that Kim needs to save, or gain, face to pave the way for
          his son's succession and for NK's stability.
        - Both agree that Obama doesn't like losing face by publicly
          apologizing.

4/27    "Obama the first Asian-American president?"
        http://news.yahoo.com/s/afp/20090427/pl_afp/uspoliticsobama100daysasia
        Just like the way Clinton was the first African-American president.
        \_ Two wars, a banking, housing, and general economic crisis, a truly
           massive deficit, and now, Swine Flu.  Has any president except for
           Lincoln and Roosevelt faced worse?

        How much did the Dubyas and the Clintons make?
        \_ Obama wrote two bestselling books right around that time.
           \_ But Obama wasn't that famous before the presidental election
              campaign in 2008.

Though the final Whitewater report clearly shows the Clintons were innocent, the New York Times and Washington Post arrogantly refuse to admit they were wrong. There was nothing remarkable about that conclusion, nor about the independent counsel's strenuous literary effort to justify a breathtaking expenditure of time, not to mention $73 million, in the pursuit of partisan goals. The Wall Street Journal, whose editors have published four volumes of bilious frothing on this topic, blatantly twisted the final report's exculpatory findings into a guilty verdict. The frauds that resulted in prosecutions of various people -- some friends, some enemies and some strangers to the former First Family -- had nothing whatsoever to do with that deal or the Clintons themselves. Fair-minded analysis is too much to ask from the Journal's bitter polemicists at this late date, but the editorial board of the Washington Post might be expected to understand the foundations of this country's justice system. Like their colleagues at the Journal, the Post's editorialists seem unable to transcend their newspaper's failed journalistic investment in "Whitewater," their longstanding friendship with former independent counsel Kenneth Starr and their inexhaustible fury at the Clintons. Having long ago convinced themselves (and presumably many of their readers) that the Clintons were guilty of some criminal offense in Whitewater, they continue to insist that the final report is "at the end of the day, inconclusive as to whether the Clintons committed crimes in their dealings with James and Susan McDougal and in their subsequent interactions with investigators," and "leaves ample reason to suspect wrongdoing by both the former president and Sen. For them, a decade of extraordinarily costly investigation that resulted in no indictments, let alone convictions, is not enough to discourage insinuations of guilt.
