8/26    Micro$oft is racist!!!

        Seriously, is it any different from replacing the black actor with a
        white actor and then re-taking a real photo to suit a foreign market?
        Would it cause the same outcry if, say, M$ Photoshop'ed ... I mean
        photo-edited ... the Asian man and the white woman with two blacks for

9/11    Palin foreign policy: War with Russia!
        http://abcnews.go.com/Politics/Vote2008/story?id=5778018&page=1
        \_ If a member state of NATO is invaded by Russia, you are against
           aiding them?  What exactly is NATO's purpose in that case?
           \_ Which says to me we shouldn't be offering NATO membership
              to unstable, belligerent new nation states.

8/11    Anyone have thoughts about what the US should do about Georgia?
        \_ Annex it as Georgia II.
        \_ Not much I'm afraid.  Especially since Georgia seems to have
           started it.  Russia was fomenting the battle, but when Russia
           is itching to attack you, don't give it an excuse!
           \_ Russia moved troops into Georgia, not the other way around.

10/17   What are some examples of successful & sustainable colonies?
        \_ Israel
           \_ A colony of what country, USA? You're funny.
           \_ We do give them a few billion a year.  Same with Egypt.
              I doubt Egypt or Israel would exist in its present state
              without our aid.  You could argue that they'd be better off

6/20    Clint Eastwood's twin Iwo Jima movies triggered island name change.
        http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20070620/ap_on_re_as/japan_iwo_jima
        \_ Of course, the proper romanji is "ioutou" or "ioujima."  Can't
           they get anything right?
        \_ more like they are reverting it to original name, and Iwo Jima
           was just a mistaken name brought about in WWII that stuck.

6/12    Surprise!  Canadians torture terrorism suspects!
        http://www.citynews.ca/news/news_1097.aspx
        \_ Redacting suspects to Canada is a lot more convenient
           than Poland, Romania, Egypt and Syria.
           \_ Why do you think Canada is any more convenient?  Because the
              plane trip is shorter?  Most of them are closer to Syria than

4/6     I'm confused.  If all the illegals become citizens and we know that
        Americans won't do the jobs the illegals have been doing then who
        will do those jobs?  Won't granting them citizenship kill the
        economy just the same as kicking them out?
        \_ it's an election year.  I don't think people are trying to solve
           the problem.  If US pardon this wave of immigrant, 5 years

        I maintain that German gals are the hottest!
        \_ Earth calling Swiss John. What awful things have you got to say
           about the German people this time?
           \_ They're all physically lumpy, wear ugly glasses, act too
              self-righteous, and are prone to invading Poland.  -John

3/13    Why do Reagan admirers say that the Soviet Union collapsed because
        of Reagan's policies?  I know he called SU the "evil empire" and
        also started a Star Wars weapons program.  What else did he do, and
        how did these contribute to the SU's collapse?
        \_ Those Reagan supporter think that by escalating the
           arms race, we effectively bankrupted the Soviet much sooner than
