By the way, I'm going to go out on a limb of sorts here and predict Byrd will be replaced by a Republican. And now for something completely funny: Bizarre Story of the Day: Blagojevich Considered Oprah for Obama's Senate Seat Edited by Slartibartfast - June 29 2010 at 06:32 |

Did anyone catch Obama's speech at the G20 Summit? Because I gathered 2 things from it:
1) I felt like it was 2006 again and Bush was giving a speech. 2) I find it laughable that Obama has the gall to tell the Europeans that to solve the whole Greece and Spain debacle, they need to keep spending money. From the way I understand it, there are several countries, Germany especially, who are very angry that they have to use their money to help bail out another bankrupt European country. They're more concerned about getting their fiscal deficits in order, and this clown tells them they should keep spending? Preposterous. Also, if you have 45 minutes to spare (or have no life like myself ), here's his press conference. I found it almost as laughable. He spends the first 5-10 minutes talking about more government controls on the private sector, and the world economy isn't getting better yet despite whatever he thinks! I bet Obama honestly knows as much about economics as Bush does. |

They did their job. I applaud them for that. The risk of dying is part of their job. |

I have great respect for anyone whose job involves people trying to kill you for doing your job unless you abuse your authority. |

For a liberal, you seem to be a pretty cold person. By this "logic," the risk of dying is a part of anyone's job, including teachers, pastors, and musicians. |

Teresa May thinks that spending cuts should make the police able to increase their street presence?
Another example of cheap rhetoric about cutting waste coming from delusional, insulated idealists. Ech. |

I'm not cold. I'm much warmer than you I'm sure I just think a police officer dying in his job is much more likely than a teacher or a pastor or a musician, and they have to be applauded for being ready to put their lives on the line, but they also have to be scolded when they abuse the power that we have given them over us.

Well, let's just stick to shooting the bad musicians because after all we can all agree on who they are. But seriously, be realistic, police officers are human beings. too. But when you're out on the road driving, would you rather be in front of a police car than behind? Edited by Slartibartfast - June 29 2010 at 20:36 |

True Teo, but don't you agree that they are shafted by the media in terms of how they are presented overall?
Everything they do wrong is front page news, with the dash cam videos constantly showing everywhere even though these incidents are the exception. Whereas all the good things they do every day are virtually ignored. Thus the public perception is that they are *mostly* a****les when the opposite is true. Most are professional, and *few* are a****les. I'm not against punishing abusers, what drives me nuts is the outright fallacy of the picture that is painted for the public. The reality is not reflected in the coverage choices. |

Every profession has people who don't do their jobs properly. If a teacher gets murdered, do you bring up "they also have to be scolded when they abuse power." ? If a pastor gets murdered, do you bring up "they also have to be scolded when they abuse power." ? The media boosts ratings by mostly airing the abusers. People don't want to hear good news. As far as I can tell, people have an addiction to complaining and talking about scandals. Please have more compassion. |

I hate Homeowner's Associations more than almost anything in the world. People complain about the government running everything, but then they let these f**king fascists bully the neighborhood for their own good.
