Looking For a Better Read commented on Lying Liar Lies.

He's the Original Troll.

Rush has been quite effectively marginalized since the Sandra Fluke dustup, and he knows it. Advertisers have continued to flee, and no one save for the extreme fringe give to whits about what he has to say anymore.

So now he has to be even more ludicrous than ever, just to hang on to that sliver of actively dying (literally) audience that he has left. He knows he's full of shit, and he doesn't really care one way or another about marriage equality. He's just a sad, obese, has-been troll trying to be relevant, and failing miserably.

Looking For a Better Read commented on Seattle Arena Deal Kicks Sacramento Arena Deal's Ass.

I think the NBA will choose to support the Sacramento proposal. They'll say it is to keep a franchise at it's proper location, reward the City and the Mayor for their efforts, blah blah blah, but in reality, there is much leverage to be held by each of the other franchises in their efforts to extort new deals when necessary if there is the specter of Seattle and its standing arena deal waiting patiently on the horizon.

Actually, if your goal of "making fewer babies" is to put fewer stresses on limited resources (which I agree with), then you should ENCOURAGE women to delay child rearing, and we should CELEBRATE medical advances that allow this to happen.

Figure this: one group of people have on average 20-year generational gaps, and another has 35-year generational gaps, the first group will grow faster than the second. In 100 years, the first group will be on the cusp of their sixth generation; the second will be merely approaching their third.

Coincidentally, through much prayer God has made it clear to me that He wants me to pour a delicious Trumer Pils and book a vacation to Nicaragua. Who am I to deny Him?

Looking For a Better Read commented on The Morning News: Popes, Cyberattacks, and a Woman Trying to Sell Her Children on Facebook.

Regarding the case where the intoxicated girl was raped: I support the idea that each accused is entitled to a robust defense, but the shit that is coming from the defendants' attorney is absolutely infuriating. I'm generally not one to bash "bottom feeding lawyers" but in this case, it just might be a fitting label.

Looking For a Better Read commented on SL Letter of the Day: Shut Up and Don't Do Porn!.

@19 - odd, because the rest of us probably *could* pick out your mom in a field of 17 million porn videos.

(sorry, I couldn't resist. I really have never met your mom nor observed her in any visual media, porn or otherwise. I did hear, though, that fnarf treated her to a chicken dinner last week)

I feel that "I think you should shut the fuck up, that's what I think" could appropriately be the first line in every one of Dan's responses. Or it could be the catch phrase of a SNL skit about a radio advice show a la Loveline. Or maybe I'm just drunk.
