"I don't want to think about politics, but when I have to I lean heavily right."

We can't rely on the courts to keep saving us from stupid legislation. This is a direct result of the big ugly bill.

Movies have a bigger audience, require less time commitment, are heavily marketed, and cost less to see. Easier to convince people to see a so-so movie as long as it has a couple of good scenes. Harder to do with games, and gamers are usually at least somewhat more aware of games before they buy them.

I don't think it's radical to oppose genocide, but maybe that's just me...

The "incentive" will be selling the appliances for cheaper. Amazon was/has been doing this with Kindle readers: you can get it cheaper in exchange for ads on the lock screen.

The only thing worse than an incompetent fascist is a competent fascist, so I'll take this as good news. Imagine a J. Edgar Hoover version of the FBI right now. No thank you.

Ahh, but we didn't realize it yet.

Almost like there is a large, unmet demand for leftist politicians at the national level. Hmm, no, couldn't possibly be it.

Maybe someday friend, but you've made the right choice for now. There are still good people here.

Yeah, 'a bit out of touch' is a good starting point when talking about conservatives usually...

I'm with you on what I like to call the well-to-do liberal tilt of public broadcasting (NPR in particular). Reminds me a lot of the New York Times and their blatant biases. But my understanding is that the CPB is just a source of funding for PBS/NPR and is not directly linked to their operations. That said, they apparently provide quite a lot of the funding to those stations, so their odds of survival are looking quite grim.
