Takes Aim at Illegal Downloading (thanks D.G.Whiskey)... when 70-year-olds
deal with technology. Mind you I'm not critical of this because it is
anti-piracy, but just because it's nightmarishly stupid. My thought is to
counter this with a proposal that causes Senators' cars to break down should
they be suspected of engaging in illegal or illicit activities... it would be
fun to see all these stuffed shirts waiting by the side of the road to get their
limos towed.

Ahhh, another stimulating political debate on the Blue's New forums. And like always a there are few good points, but most importantly we have more unintentional comedy than you can shake a stick at. (shake a stick at? wtf does that mean anyway?)
Anyway, I just want to say that the media says and shows what it thinks people will watch. They don't care if it's left or right as long as people watch. And if there's video involved, that goes first.
I went to school with a guy who reminds me of his dudeness. He would actually use the word "indubitably" instead of "yes" when asked a question. And yes, he was fun to talk to.
But we wouldn't have it any other way!
Ooooo, ooooo, I know that one: Judge Smails from Caddyshack!

Yes sir. I would love to have a real time conversation with The dude. It would be very educational.

You haven't made sense in years. And no amount of dictionary surfing on your part is going to change that.

I suppose the world needs ditch diggers too.
