I like Alex Wagner because she has some pretty interesting discussions and seems to keep it moving. mostly because she's cute, though.

I like Melissa Harris-Perry, but her lisp tilts me.

In San Francisco everyone votes absentee.

Also doesn't one need an ID to get on welfare?

Please report to the war on voting thread. This will be fun.

Alex Wagner and, to a lesser extent Erin Burnett are personal crushes of mine. Melissa Harris-Perry might have the single best show, i love how it's sort of what Sorkin was going for with The Newsroom. Rachel Maddow, Chris Hayes and Ezra Klein are like the Trinity of Truthfinding, love those guys.

Funny you should say that:

Ladies and gentlemen, we just found the perfect example of someone who was ignorant on a topic, showed that ignorance, got shown why he was ignorant and then ignored those explanations to then repeat that ignorance again - one time less than a month later.

Here are his posts from the war on voting thread:

All the money spent by the far left complaining about voter ID laws could have put to use to help these people get IDs.

Those points and the fundamental errors behind them were explained to him by a few people after.

Just. Wow.

All in all, msnbc has some of the best programming on cable, but not the stellar ratings the circus crowds flock to.

I like Maddow's reporting, but when she starts to do her hyper-sarcastic voice, I just have to change channels.

Nice try but no one was actively blocking the panhandle from voting. That was NOT the case with the black vote in Florida that year.

She doesn't care who's the president, knows nothing about policy or laws, or anything related to government. The only thing she cares about are taxes, the trash being picked up, and getting her car inspected once a year. I do all the finances and investments. She doesn't want to get involved, and she's plainly told me so. In fact, I just emailed her at work and told her one of our investments is up 98% in 3 weeks. Her reply? "great". She simply doesn't care.

This baffles me because I run around butthurt about what the GOP does and how it could affect the country and blah blah blah. Her? She watches dancing with the stars.

I'm still thinking all of this is something of a joke, that people really do not live their entire lives not caring about anything except going to work, coming home and making dinner, then watching The Biggest Loser or Monday night football. I'm constantly proven wrong.

And the funny thing is they are usually much happier then people who are informed.

Haha are you talking about stripersonline? I got banned from there for making standard left-of-center arguments.

Though of course being 'free' should also mean 'free to not give a ****' too, don't you think?

Interesting idea, but I have to disagree. The price of freedom is the electorate informing themselves and participating in the process. We stop doing that, our freedom is little more than a shadow on the wall.

c'mon, Madonna sucks, always has. Her boobs might be fine but her arms/ hands are freaky as hell.

also, wil, you should watch DWTS with your wife. This all-stars series is pretty awesome with Emmitt Smith, Shawn Johnson, Apollo Ono... I haven't watched a full season before, but I'm gonna this year.

Yeah, you should let your wife watch all those fit, dreamy men dance around and then when she turns off the tv and looks around and you're the only one left.... score.
