Eh, what else do you expect from the far right republicans.

Paramo has the right idea at least, if he actually believes his own words.
Who is Paramo?  ???


And as far as TSA -- have you SEEN a TSA screening line? These are folks who weren't competent enough to work at the DMV. And in many cases, they're outsourced through a firm like Securitas. You basically have mall cops checking your luggage.
That's supposed to be Pataki, spell checker somehow changed it when I wasnt looking.

They never fail to fuck with me about toiletries.

"That's some minty breath you have there, citizen. Suspiciously minty."

"You look like you have suspiciously good personal hygiene. Do you know who else has good hygiene?"

This is a British dramady in the making, keep up the good work.

Considering Paramo isn't a word any more than Pataki is...

Ahh okay. Yeah, considering Pataki's response to Huckabee's comments was basically, "Look, I personally don't agree with gender transition, but for fuck's sake they're still US citizens (and human beings) and deserve your basic respect."

Which makes him such a flaming lefty that he'll never survive past New Hampshire, if there, sadly.

Oh, the other kiss of death for Pataki is that he announced his candidacy in English and in Spanish. Already seen numerous comments among the FOXtard crowd that announcing in Spanish was tantamount to treason.

That actually strikes me as a pretty savvy move.  It's always great to be on the popular side of a controversy.  Even in the Republican primary electorate racist backlash in the abstract sense is unpopular.  So if you get people mad at you for being a nice guy it makes you sympathetic.

Then those people will have problems with the hispanic candidates won't they?

I honestly don't see a problem with it, but hey, being independent (with democratic leanings) and from California (mostly that fact).....

So, wikileaks is apparently offering 100000$  to whoever will leak a copy of the TPP.

On one hand, transparency in gov't is good... on the other, it can be construed as attempted bribery or some such.

No, see, that would be racism. But being pissed about pandering to a demographic by speaking their language in addition to English, that's not racism. That's good 'ol MURICA thinking.

It's the basic cowardice of Conservative Republicanism. They'll criticize the demographic and anyone trying to get their votes up and down, but criticizing a member of the demo that's an actual politician standing there? Why, no, they'd never do that.

Yeah, Republicans have no problems with Hispanics. As long as they speak English, wait 10+ years to legally immigrate, are devout Christians (preferably Evangelical converts) and vote Republican.

In the days when Sussman was a novice, Minsky once came to him as he sat hacking at the PDP-6.
“What are you doing?”, asked Minsky. “I am training a randomly wired neural net to play Tic-Tac-Toe” Sussman replied. “Why is the net wired randomly?”, asked Minsky. “I do not want it to have any preconceptions of how to play”, Sussman said.
Minsky then shut his eyes. “Why do you close your eyes?”, Sussman asked his teacher.
“So that the room will be empty.”
At that moment, Sussman was enlightened.

Mm... reminds me of a conservative/religious talk-show the person I was driving around was listening to (at least until I couldn't stand the crypto-racism anymore and talked them into switching over to classical) who claimed more or less to not be racist, and then spent like half the goddamn segment obliquely talking down "that hip-hop culture" and denigrating Obama and crap. It's just, like. Could you whistle that bell any harder, old white dude?
