@54 Quality has definitely declined. I even miss the sheer batshit insanity of Loveschild. Now that was a troll; she could connect pretty much anything to the gays somehow, and she was always good for at least 5-10 comments, which would prompt at least as many responses (Kim in Portland and Venomlash did yeoman's work on those). On the other hand, we have a whole buffet of trollery now; variety has never been as wide (if dumb). I expect most of them will get bored and move before too long; even Bailo seems to have cut back over time.

@3 Nope. Will is our village idiot. Been here nigh on a decade, and still blathering. He's not a Paultard, to his credit. But that's about as far as we can go.

mkyorai commented on Young, Conservative, and Opposed to Gay Marriage.

Please, by all means, guys, do your damnedest to hold back the tide. Just do us all a couple small favors, if you could: first, please make sure your names are all indelibly associated with your movement: no sudden erasures from documents and websites when you have a change of heart or are caught on Grindr. Second, please make sure you associate yourselves as strongly as possible with the mainstream Republican party. We want you deeply involved in elections, especially Presidential elections. Make gay marriage a litmus issue, and ensure that everyone knows it. If you can do that, you're entirely welcome to make as much noise as you like.

@106 what faux white guilt? The writer isn't white, moron.

@ 102 several others. I spend 4 years on the west coast, and still miss it often in its passive aggressive, Seattle-freeze glory, but now I live in Baltimore, in the rapidly gentrifying Canton neighborhood.

@87 Nicely put.

mkyorai commented on A $22 an Hour Minimum Wage.

@4 actually, I think this is probably good politics, and takes a page out of the Republican play book. If we want anything like a livable minimum wage, we need to move it beyond the $10-12 range. To get republicans to even consider that, you need to set the playing field in the $18-20 range, and let them work their way down from there. This is one of the more insidious ways the country has been shifted to the tight in the last 30 years: the right wingers set the debate so far to the right that today's moderates are substantially to the right of many of yesteryear's conservatives. I like it. It feels like dems are finally playing the game.
