Does anybody have a perspective on why the American voting process is such an amazing shambles?
Well, no, but I has this theory...
The US system seems to be deliberately engineered to make it as difficult as possible for people to vote. The whole thing makes sense if you work from the basic assumption that they just don't want people to vote.
nyone have any idea when we will get a sense on how California's Proposition 8 is breaking? I think this is going to be one case where the support act is going to be more interesting than the headliners
Yeah, this I'm going to be watching. Because money from Utah Mormons convinces people from California to take their advice on what constitutes a marriage? That'd be... mm, pretty much business as usual.

Nothing short of Batman, I would think.
Camp fifties Batman, or goth-angsty Batman? Cause I'd really like to see the former. And he'd be the first Republican candidate to run with his faithful young lithe male companion at his side, instead of tucked away in a Motel 6.

Pff, you lot, go to bed.
the most aggrieved are uniquely drawn to Palin's bright eyed and unapologetic appeal to resentment and victimology.

Just your brain? My dear.
I was being polite. We have company.

He's a Vulcan, I reckon. Check those ears. Mind you, there's always pon farr...
Oh, my brain...

“If you're not a liberal at twenty you have no heart, if you're not a conservative at forty you have no brain.”
Is that more palatable?
He was plagiarising GB Shaw and aside from that I'd say it's just as unapalatable and not nearly as insidiuosly clever.
Well it's just as untrue and condescending. The Grey Lynn tribe is really made up of childless young people? I don't think so.
My mother looks like Jeanette Fitzsimons, but people tend to assume she votes for Winston Peters because of her age. For some reason this makes me irrationally furious.

Who was it that said the difference between a liberal and a conservative is having a daughter ?
Somebody who was wrong.
Agreed, but what a tremendous line.
I guess it depends whose daughter it is.

Is there something about Rod Drury that you're not telling us? :)
Only until the publication of 'A Night Out With Rod Drury'?
Hmm. It doesn't have the same ring to it. What does Alan Bollard drive?
