We already had a witch, she didn't get elected. i blame the mouse people.

My god... in that interview, she just repeated 3 rehearsed lines... "If we approach this with our heads in the sand, the other end is in the air!" "They admitted that they're only cloning Monkeys so they can clone Humans" and "It's about Dignity versus Commodity." When confronted with a question that these lines couldn't answer, she froze, and just went back to repeating them. And the fact that a woman who thought herself fit to be president was convinced that Evil Scientists were crossing animals and people in their secret genetic labs just... I would trade brains with her for a second, just so she could understand how crazy-stupid her reasoning was.

In other post-election news, Obama supporters hate white people.

HOW TO NEWS:
~ by The Examiner

Step 1: Pay someone to browse Twitter for a handful of inflammatory posts saying "Fuck White People".
Step 2: Assert that it's the duty of the president, for the sake of our union, to condemn that handful of twitter users, or he must support them.
Step 3: Find angriest-looking picture of Obama, and use it for your headline.

Just add in a subtle implication that Abraham Lincoln's fight to end slavery was misguided, since this was the unforseen result. It's that easy!

Actually she was only running for Congress, not president, so it's all good.

Btw i came across a video titled "Mitt Romney & Barack Obama Talk Dirty" i won't link it, it's very NSFW language, but extremely funny.

Heh. Mittens is, in essence, stating 'Obama won by offering policies which appealed to the majority,' while simultaneously spinning it as a bad thing.

[Reelya]

Well Mr Small Government is now saying people don't know what's in their own best interest.

The Laissez-faire magic of people's greedy self-interest always giving the optimal result only holds for the wealthy and the white apparently.

How has nobody discussed the secession petition manufactroversy?

Long story short, several (As in, all of them) states have filed petitions to secede from the Union.  Except, oh wait, no, that's not it.  Several individuals have filed petitions for their states to secede from the Union.  Non-binding, legally worthless cries of "I'm buttmad that ObadO won the election"

Honestly, I say let them go.  As of yesterday, seven states (Texas, Georgia, North Carolina, Florida, Alabama, Tennessee, and Louisiana) have successfully gotten the 25% votes required for the government to respond.  Of those, two (Texas and Georgia) are net contributors to federal tax revenue.  Over the course of 19 years (1990-2009), the other five outweighed their contributions by 400 billion dollars.

Seriously.  Let them go, cut military spending (Easy with a smaller country and fewer red states), and maybe with some work we can wrangle a budget surplus.

[Flying Dice]

We already discussed that a day or two ago, and that was essentially what it came down to. Pointing out that they were entirely meaningless whitehouse.gov petitions, and making snarky comments about letting them go. 

[MetalSlimeHunt]

Oh no you don't, you aren't cutting out my part of the country. I have no intention of being burned as a witch.

[kaijyuu]

Oh no you don't, you aren't cutting out my part of the country. I have no intention of being burned as a witch.

This is a good reason for not letting them secede. Well sorta; there are less facetious and more valid examples, like criminalizing homosexuality.

You can move before they break away.

Warren Buffet endorsed Hilliary Clinton 2016.
 
Damnit guys.we just finished. have you not had enough?!? Although I guess I can't blame them. The Fact is all of a sudden the Democrats are looking at the future happily, and everyone wants a piece of the pie. But seriously guys, hold off on the endorsements.

[scriver]

I endorse Clinton as well. I know you've told me about her stupid video games censure (or was it ban?) in the nineties, but I still have a good impression of her. She seems to be a somewhat good diplomat, has lots of experience in the field and now experience if the international power game as well, has a good repuatation abroad as far as I know, and seems like a sensible person over all. I know she's worked with gun laws as well, but I'm not particularly clear on how heavy a degree of restriction she prefers. She may be a bitch, as so many like to say, but seriously, what female politician (or wielder of any power) does not have to be a "bitch" to get anywhere in our world. Gotta be a tough bastard to play at that level, regardless of gender, anyway. Of all my (admittedly limited) knowledge of American politicians, she certainly seems like one of the best candidates. And it would be cool to see her butt heads with Palin if she gets Republican support.

Lastly, also importantly. Old Billy as America's first First Gentleman. Come on. You know you want it.

Censorship is an unpardonable sin

To an moral absolutist, yes.  Someone who sees in shades of grey might say "wow, BFD".

Actually, I'd say it is.

I see in shades of grey and I also see it as a big fucking deal.
