I saw the CEO of Exxon-Mobil go over to Rush Limbaugh’s mansion with a set of kneepads. True story.

@Annie: Yes, I remember reading that article! It always makes me wonder how I ever found non-white friends.

@Allen: Ah, yes, protectionism. The free market is great…until Americans actually lose jobs because of it.

Don’t forget that the right also tends to favor big business so they’d rather support Big Oil.

I find it funny that Conservatives that are so against the “bailouts” have nothing against the farming subsidies, particularly the subsidies we pay to farmers NOT to grow food. That sounds like paying someone not to work… isn’t that the argument used against welfare?

there was a newsweek article about racism and babies. one of the sections talked about an experiment at a grade school where kids were randomly selected to wear a red or blue t shirt. over the course of a few days (or was it hours? i don’t remember) the kids with the same shirt color sat together and when asked “which color is better” they picked their own color.

I wonder what would happen if we simply did away with the political party labels. as you said, party members go along with an idea because it’s expected based on their “position” on the political spectrum. what happened to processing each idea as an individual entity? *sigh*
