I'm really torn as to whether I should tune into FN for for the lols after this speech or NBC for some actual discussion.

the man can speak

I was making a joke.

That is an all-time great speech.

hell of an orator

Das Boot and Zimmer, nice posts.

And it makes me awfully happy I'm living in Canada where these just aren't issues for us anymore...and we've got a right-of-centre majority in Parliament.

In all seriousness, it's time for the GOP to look at what the Canadian Conservatives under Stephen Harper have done and start thinking about implementing some of that framework. David Cameron's Conservatives in the UK as well, for that matter. They've won elections by running on platforms that prioritize economic policy but still remain socially progressive. And when you can no longer be painted as the big bad socially conservative boogeyman, you take the bat out of the left's hands pretty quickly. 2011 Canadian Federal Election was a great example; almost killed the Liberal party for good, which would've been unthinkable only 5-6 years ago.

no doubt

He's no Michael Douglas tho

Oh hey, Fox has some new blonde hottie on now.

Man, Fox News went to commercial and comes back with a new WASP-y man and woman. They must keep a ton on hand.

That chick's fat, yo

Edit: Actually now that I've had a good look at her she's not fat at all.

hey man, i have consistently talked about drugs in general and not pot specifically. ill stand by mericans hate drugs and so does leo. furthermore it sure makes leo feel important.

Yeah, not sure America is ever gonna be down with lol heroin.

****, I missed it. Didn't even realize. Think they'll replay it anywhere or it'll be online anywhere soon?

Watch the whole thing. I'd be shocked if it wasn't on Youtube already.

Would be super nice if gay marriage winning some actual of the people direct votes would be the kick in the pants that SCOTUS needs to strike down DOMA.

that gay marriage is such an issue is the moast infuriating thing. it shud be mundane.

Would be cooler still if Congress would come together and say that all people are entitled to equal protection under the law, regardless of whether or not you were born liking similar or different genitals and just repeal DOMA.

Whichever really.

*Best of all would be for them to decide that the government has to reason to be involved in marriage anyway and let that **** die it's natural death in a few generations.

Yeah only reason I didn't mention that is because lol Rs still control the House. Hopefully me lol-ing at R or D doesn't tard up this relatively tard free special edition poli discussion

Among the increasing number of things that make me feel old is the realization that the "youth vote" doesn't refer to me anymore.

wow, you're right. going to watch now.

Republicans getting wise to social issues might even lead to both parties having to adopt clearer, less bastardized fiscal platforms that are actually a lot more similar to what they claim to be, and stop being so detrimental just from being such weird muddy compromises of themselves.

Won't happen, but is a nice thought. Hopefully the above paragraph makes a bit of sense, I'm pretty sleep deprived.

Most popular Facebook status, November 2012: "Moving to Colorado."

On campus today, everyone already celebrating legal weed... Its 630. I haven't looked at it but hope tax rate is outrageous.
