I worked in a book store when she endorsed Million Little Pieces, which is a very lurid account of a drug addict's recovery. We had so many elderly Southern Baptist Republicans coming in for that book solely because Oprah chose it for her 'book club'. I cringe to think of what their reactions were when they read it.
Again, mentioning that I sometimes have sex with my spouse is not a detail, and is not TMI. In addition, it was not only relevant to the discussion, but it followed your own sex reference, making your objection hypocritical.
As for the rest, while I don't have a problem with your suggestion, the two cases are not analogous. In my case, you made a sex reference, I replied with a similar sex reference, then you said it was TMI. That's hypocritical. In your case, you made a joke (?), no one else did, you got butthurt.
Personally, I think anything easily understood is correct. Grey and gray, favourite and favorite, read and reed. I don't really care in this context. The message is the important bit, so as long as I can understand the message, we're good.
Nicosia was convicted for the hit-and-run, but he has not received any sanctions for his actions afterward. In case you didn't read the site (You had to do a search first. :P), Dr. Nicosia, an emergency room physician, stood and watched his now legless victim hauled out of the water, ignored shouts for medical help, declined to answer police when they asked if anyone aboard his boat had medical experience, and then left. Seriously. Quite frankly, that's despicable and I applaud the efforts of the commenters who are gathering signatures for a petition to Florida's medical board.
Yes, except they don't imply or state that they're going to consider the matter or that my comments matter. Also, these letters are always several paragraphs long. Really, they're a marvel of the art of writing nothing. I mean, seriously.
...you start to understand that he isn't about anything other than the cult of Assange.
Why is that relevant? It's not any more relevant than his personal life, or criminal record. It simply doesn't matter.
It won't be long before he is locked up for a very, very long time, or has a horrible auto accident. Or both :)
And then what do you expect to happen? You think all of the people that run Wikileaks are just going to take their ball and go home?
What I wonder is why TD doesn't address these issues, and continues to show Assange as a victim rather than an aggressive preditory type that he appears to be?
This post isn't even about Assange. It's about the idiocy of this politician. Oh, and also, from the article:
"Even if you think that Assange is an egomaniac with serious issues, focusing on Assange is missing the point of what's happening."
This reminds me of the Heinlein predictions, where he'd write what he thought was going to happen and then check back in ten years. Very interesting stuff, even when I disagree.
