Looks like we need some oversight of the people who are supposed to have oversight.

kohana: Red light cameras save lives, because most folks will stop for a red light with fair warning there is a camera coming up. However, I suspect those who hate red light cameras are those who fudge and run red lights.

This sounds too much like "If you aren't doing anything illegal, then you shouldn't worry about the surveillance state."

John Hanson: I don't want a society where my neighbors are paid to inform on me.  

This is the correct response.

Omid Moghadam: I think he is in East Berlin interviewing old Stasi operatives for new IRS vacancies.

Joking aside, . . .

Oh . . . are you sure that's a joke?

Shotgun target? See, I was thinking that a shotgun could be mounted on it.

DrewInWisconsin: I've always felt that the export of anime was Japan's revenge for the bomb.

Haha, well like underground cartoonist Robert Crumb once said "It's all just lines on paper, folks!"

Except when it's aliens and robots having sex with schoolgirls in upsettingly tiny skirts.

Well, I . . . don't like it. At all. I find the artistic style disturbing and repellant, and I don't like its influence on modern illustrative styles. 

I would prefer the world be influenced by ligne claire instead of anime.

Full Size Tabby: And when I figured out it was to keep people IN - not to keep invaders or bad people OUT, my 7 year old mind just could not fathom what sick minds would do that to their own citizens. 50 years later, I still can't.

I wonder if President Obama even grasps what your 7-year-old mind could.

The King Prawn: It has to have all been downhill from there, including winning the presidency.

All he wanted was to win the presidency. He's not very interested in being the president. This was clear just a few months into his first term.

The King Prawn: He's like a pudgy, balding, middle-aged man going back to the high school football stadium where he caught the game winning touchdown that is still the high point of his life.

Although, this being the anniversary of JFK's "Ich bin ein Berliner" speech, it's more like he's going back to the high point of someone else's life.

Remember, this is the White House that edited all Presidential bios on the official website to insert Obama into American history, so that the man of no accomplishments could experience them vicariously. No surprise he's still showing up like Zelig, hoping that he can steal the valor he lacks.

It's nice to dream. But we'd have so many diversity specialists put out of work, we'd have an enormous spike in unemployment.

Walker's problem, alluded to by Troy, is that he's a mild-mannered midwesterner. He's working hard to turn our state around, and with every weapon of the left arrayed against him, he's getting the job done. But he gets the job done without running for the nearest camera to announce his own awesomeness. 

Now, I don't personally have a problem with the low-key non-celebrity candidate -- in fact, such a person is my preference. But modern American culture seems to want a Rock Star, whether that's an Obama or a Palin.

Also, I'm a bit selfish, and want to keep Walker on the job we elected him to do. We can't afford another Diamond Jim Doyle running Wisconsin.

Butters: If Graham were by some miracle to lose  in a primary, he would pull a Murkowski/Crist and run as an independent.

RINOs don't go quietly.

My thoughts, exactly.
This kind only comes out by prayer and fasting.

Sorry ... I should explain the joke. In Doctor Who, the Timelords are a species that look human but have two hearts. 

So that's two more than Lindsey has?

Heck, our Congressional district seems reluctant to put up anything more than a token resistance against our Democrat Representative. The local GOP tactic seems to be: find some old guy, put him on the ballot, watch him lose.
