afx: Don’t you think “Team America” was one of the funniest movies ever?

By the way, the Russians aren’t commies anymore. They’re power hungry, grasping plutocrats. Just like us, only with better vodka.

Baseball is NOT America’s Pastime. That’s a filthy lie, fomented by people too weak and afraid to play football.

I was not trying to conflate Obama with the Clinton Administration, I was only trying to make the point that this “Republican Bad” and “Democrat Good” nonsense was exactly that, nonsense. Justme appears to believe that when Bill Clinton bends over the sun shines out his a**. That’s a wee bit too much for me to stomach.

Speaking of vulgar: Have any of you soccer fans ever watched a Manchester United or Arsenal game against a French, German or Spanish opponent? Just curious. Those fans make Raider games look like a garden party.

Rus: ALL dancing is subversive. You learn that in Catholic school. So is questioning authority (especially priestly authority), attempting to gain knowledge, and eating pastries.

I joke a lot about American imperialism, but I don’t think our overall situation is anything to joke about. Our economy is in tatters, we are locked in an unwinnable wars in both Iraq and Afghanistan, and we’re watching our civil rights disappear under Patriot Act and FISA.

No, I haven’t seen Drunkle. Have you checked with Tijuana?

Pele? That’s the flamenco guitarist, right?

Rustico: Too much soccer turns you into an effete French Socialist. It’s true, you can look it up on Wikipedia.

As I’ve said before, since we’re not an empire, we can’t be imperialists. We’re a hegemony, so we can be hegemonic, though.

equalizer: Why the hate, baby, why the hate? I agree with Veritas regarding your summary on Huxley and Orwell. Interestingly, I just read Hitch’s book on Orwell (“Why Orwell Matters”) earlier this year. I haven’t read “Brave New World” in a while, but it definitely resonates as of late. You can find thousands of articles on Brit’s baby, her addictions, family problems and rehab, but try to find one well researched article on… well, anything and you’re SOL. I would agree with your assessment on Hitchens, but would also say that as a reformed Stalinist, he has a very rare point of view and his articles are a joy to read, simply based on how well they are written and reasoned. You’d be hard pressed to find another writer working in the English language with such a fluid command of it.

gandalf: I agree with you on GM. There is an excellent article in the Atlantic Monthly on the Chevy Volt (it’s in either this month’s issue or last month’s), and how GM is using it to remake their corporate culture and regain their footing in the marketplace. One of the things that really struck me was the sense of rage among the senior GM execs about how Toyota was wiping the floor with them, and that they were prepared to do anything, including overhauling the whole company, to beat Toyota. I felt a surge of admittedly jingoistic pride, but I wouldn’t take GM lightly, especially now that they’re in their “wounded bear” phase.

I would ask when/where was I bashing Obama? You might be thinking of another poster. I simply said that I thought he was a foreign policy dilettante, and lacked the requisite experience.

As far as the Latin goes: Nils illegitimus carborundum, as an old Jesuit teacher of mine used to say.
