http://www.democraticunderground.com http://blogs.law.harvard.edu/tech/rss Sun, 22 Nov 2009 01:59:52 Sun, 22 Nov 2009 01:59:52 I remember being shocked when I read Molly Ivin’s assertion that Bush, George W. Bush, is not stupid. I believe she said he was a mean, petty, small-minded little man, but not stupid and it was a mistake to characterize him as such.

I’ve decided that I think I mean something different when I c... http://journals.democraticunderground.com/LisaLynne/12 Thu, 06 Jul 2006 10:02:14 I have always thought that it was supposed to be Jeb in the WH right now, but it didn't work out and they had to go with Dubya instead, since he was a Governor at the right time. I honestly think * was forced on them (and by them I mean the neocons et al who wanted to take over the government). Th... http://journals.democraticunderground.com/LisaLynne/11 Wed, 14 Jun 2006 10:02:57 This rant is directed at those who think this Marriage Ban thing is okay -- not all of us cool people here at DU. :)

Here’s the thing. The only reason – and I mean the ONLY reason – to oppose gay marriage is basically because you feel that being gay is somehow immoral. Is it immoral like kil... http://journals.democraticunderground.com/LisaLynne/10 Tue, 06 Jun 2006 10:08:53 George F. Will is vile. I know this so I can’t say I’m exactly shocked by the particular article I’m going to dissect here, but I felt that it needed to be answered. I hate reading what these compassionless men have to say as they struggle to keep the masses under the control of the corporations a... http://journals.democraticunderground.com/LisaLynne/9 Fri, 21 Apr 2006 10:46:26 toward people or animals. I think it depends on the abuser. Thinking about child abuse cases, there are times when, after the parents have taken parenting classes, they stop abusing. They didn't have the knowledge before of proper parenting skills, became overwhelmed, and turned to abuse, usually... http://journals.democraticunderground.com/LisaLynne/8 Tue, 18 Apr 2006 08:54:58 This totally just came to me. It seems infinitely insane to use nuclear weapons against Iran, although I would certainly not put it past *. Nothing is too insane or stupid for this administration and I really think they want to either kill us all or are just too wrapped up in their clubhouse PNAC ... http://journals.democraticunderground.com/LisaLynne/7 Tue, 11 Apr 2006 09:15:55 A local radio station that I listen to on my way into work has been playing David Letterman’s Top Ten Lists in the morning for a while now. They usually do them right as I’m making the turn into my parking lot, so I just get to hear the whole thing by the time I’ve found a space and stopped the car... http://journals.democraticunderground.com/LisaLynne/6 Tue, 04 Apr 2006 09:49:59 Or Christmas. Or Easter. Or Lent or All Saint’s Day or All Soul’s Day or President’s Day.

Here’s what’s going on. Christianity has been the dominant religion in western society for a very, very long time. Due to this dominance, our culture has developed certain privileges associated with bein... http://journals.democraticunderground.com/LisaLynne/5 Mon, 27 Mar 2006 08:41:21 What is Bush’s focus? Does he really care about his legacy as President of the United States or is this, for him, just another job, another CEO position of a company that he can run into the ground, loot, use to help his friends out, and then get out while the gettin’s good? Does he really think, ... http://journals.democraticunderground.com/LisaLynne/4 Tue, 21 Mar 2006 09:22:47 This was inspired by this article that deals with North Korea’s reaction to Bush repeating his ridiculous “axis of evil” phrase:

Seeing that article and feeling, very acutely, some fear about what exactly North Korea’s ne... http://journals.democraticunderground.com/LisaLynne/3 Mon, 20 Mar 2006 10:07:22 It seems as though our elected officials and perhaps a good portion of rank and file Democrats are laboring under the illusion that we are still dealing with the sort of conservatives that we have known our entire lives. They favor small governments, smaller social programs, a strong military. Yea... http://journals.democraticunderground.com/LisaLynne/2 Fri, 17 Mar 2006 08:39:22 Seriously, though, I want to respond without flaming. We need to be able to discuss issues without all that fire. ;)

I understand that abortion seems like a wedge issue that keeps people voting Republican when they would otherwise be Dems. Maybe for some people it does work that way. I do kno... http://journals.democraticunderground.com/LisaLynne/1 Wed, 15 Mar 2006 08:35:02
