Politburo's Profile
On September 5, 2008 2:18 PM in Bomb Threat Empties DC USA Complex in Columbia Heights, they said:

"In real life, people who want to blow stuff up generally don't announce it in advance." The IRA did this for several of their large attacks....

On September 5, 2008 1:44 PM in Morning Roundup: The Other Side Edition, they said:

You are correct, I missed that part. But I dunno where you get "worked up" from. I only pointed out that your argument was a strawman (several times, in fact). If you don't see independents thinking ...

On September 5, 2008 1:30 PM in Early Addition, they said:

That is far from the first time that the GOP has used a song without permission....

On September 5, 2008 1:29 PM in Ghostbusters out of Retirement, Rumors Include Rogen, they said:

I don't care if God himself came down to make a new Ghostbusters movie. Just leave the fucking old franchises alone, Hollywood....

On September 5, 2008 12:09 PM in Zoning and Guns Make For a Good Fight, they said:

I think completely outlawing a store would probably be an infringement, but you're right that Heller is ambiguous on it (as it is on most everything). I don' think you should have to go outside the Di...

On September 5, 2008 12:06 PM in Oops: Rangel's $75,000 of Unreported Income, they said:

If the math doesn't add up, then that changes things. I'm not familiar with the details of how foreign real estate is taxed, so I can't really comment on that aspect....

On September 5, 2008 11:38 AM in Oops: Rangel's $75,000 of Unreported Income, they said:

TK - I don't think it's $75k per year. I think it's $75k over 20 years, an average of ~$4k per year. This is a relatively minor issue in the grand scheme of things, but it still looks pretty bad, esp...

On September 5, 2008 11:34 AM in Zoning and Guns Make For a Good Fight, they said:

I dunno.. as long as the zoning regs don't completely zone gun shops out of the District, I'm not sure it's a winner for Heller, et al. The Court upheld the right to bear arms, but not the right to no...

On September 5, 2008 10:38 AM in McCain Accepts Nomination: "Change is Coming", they said:

And let's not forget, McCain has been making statements since at least January that he knows how to get bin Laden, but he can't tell us. Why do we have to wait until January 2009? Why not tell us now...

On September 5, 2008 10:33 AM in Lawsuit Says Mechanical Bull Too Rough for City Slicker, they said:

maevemealone - You're implying that the operator at this establishment was drinking.. is that correct?...

On September 5, 2008 10:30 AM in Popcorn & Candy: This is the Modern World, they said:

"comes to believe he may have evidence of a murder on his hands, though his image, when blown up, is indistinct." I never knew the source of that High Anxiety reference.. until today....

On September 5, 2008 9:15 AM in McCain Accepts Nomination: "Change is Coming", they said:

"Baby Killer is the kind of term that will get your jaw broken" GOP supporters haven't had any regrets in going around calling Obama a baby killer... for opposing a bill....

On September 5, 2008 8:57 AM in Morning Roundup: The Other Side Edition, they said:

"Keep drinking the kool-aid while continuing to think you understand people different from you by rarely engaging them and mocking them when you do." Pretty rich coming from the poster whose first co...

On September 4, 2008 3:40 PM in Morning Roundup: The Other Side Edition, they said:

Once again you respond to an argument that wasn't made.. ...

On September 4, 2008 3:04 PM in Gun Sales to Start in D.C. on Sept. 9, they said:

"if it's such an important, inalienable right, then everyone should be able to get a gun without impediments, legal or otherwise." That's where you're losing me.. is this some sort of trick? Has the ...

On September 4, 2008 2:43 PM in Morning Roundup: The Other Side Edition, they said:

OK, ideological blinders, then. Same concept. I'm not making the argument that organizers have more responsibilities than mayors. In fact, no one is. You keep responding to these arguments that no on...

Does anyone know why links sometimes don't work? It's Epidermodysplasia verruciformis....

On September 4, 2008 2:19 PM in Morning Roundup: The Other Side Edition, they said:

IMGoph: Hopefully, she would be wise enough to avoid that crap altogether, since there is nothing the two could "debate" with those questions. However, based on the previous "debates" this year, I'm n...

On September 4, 2008 2:17 PM in Gun Sales to Start in D.C. on Sept. 9, they said:

IMGoph: That's where what logic takes you?...
