Ancient Sumerian commented on Our Creepy Government Secretly Obtained AP Reporters' Phone Records.
@1++. Answer the question, Paul: at what point will you admit that this is not some kind of fuckup, but *policy*?

Ancient Sumerian commented on Welcome to President Obama's More Liberal Second Term.
To say nothing of Obama's awfulness on Plan B.

Ancient Sumerian commented on Lindsey Graham: "The Homeland Is the Battlefield".
Graham: "The last thing we may want to do is read Boston suspect Miranda Rights telling him to 'remain silent'."
Constant: "What an awful American this man is."
And yet, of course, it was Obama's DOJ which diluted Miranda rights for domestic terror suspects, creating “new rules [which] allow investigators to hold domestic-terror suspects longer than others without giving them a Miranda warning, significantly expanding exceptions to the instructions that have governed the handling of criminal suspects for more than four decades” (http://www.salon.com/2011/03/24/miranda_…).
If Lindsay Graham is an "awful American" then what are Barack Obama and Eric Holder? Paul?

Ancient Sumerian commented on Why Drones Matter.
@2, because? You refute facts and argument with more facts and more argument, not with pique.

Ancient Sumerian commented on David Shields on American Guns.
...then gun control will only provide a superficial solution.
Yes, and wouldn't that be just awful? To prevent mass murder, but NOT IN THE RIGHT WAY?

Ancient Sumerian commented on A $22 an Hour Minimum Wage.
That's a good piece of rhetoric, right there. Move that Overton Window, Warren!

Ancient Sumerian commented on Candy Whistle-Blowers.
@2, it's really not so hard. Michael Pollen's haiku-like formulation ("Eat food. Not too much. Mostly plants.") is excellent advice.

Ancient Sumerian commented on SL Letter of the Day: Double Bi Standard.
What 3 said (better than I would have). You can't discount the simple math, here.

Ancient Sumerian commented on William Saletan Sends Slate Readers to a Picture of a Cock Stuck Full of Needles.
I think we should redefine "Saletan" to mean "sexual concern troll."

Ancient Sumerian commented on Jon Huntsman Continues His Streak as the World's Worst Republican.
@2++. Anyone who thinks that women should not be in control of their own bodies is not a "good human being." Please make a note of it.
