[kj] Apology

[Karen Weil]

Hi, Exorcist (or whatever your real name is; it's kind of weird to greet someone that way!):

I am writing to apologize for some of my comments to you yesterday. Clearly, I woke up on the wrong side of the bed, and guess I had little patience with some of your arguments, as well-intended as they may have been. 
While I strongly disagree with your basic premise about this election, and Barack Obama, it was juvenile of me to respond in the manner that I did towards the end of the day. 
Don't expect to hear back from you, but I hope you read this.

K.W.

  Heya Oliver, Gotta love hypocrisy!

  2:30 into the first clip is really an interesting part as is 2:53 as is 3:35.

  I don't care much for the movie parts or the subtitles but those  clippings
  are quite compelling.

  Point being, all politicians engage in hypocrisy.

  Cheers,
  Me

    This Jon Stewart/Daily Show segment on the hypocrisy of right-wing smear campaigns regarding Palin, Obama, Clinton, et. al., is so brilliant it ought to be preserved in the Library of Congress's national film registry:

    It shows how the right/GOP position shifts very selectively, duplicitously, when it comes to things like sexism (Hillary is "whining" when she implies sexism works against her; Sarah Palin is a victim of sexism, however, when people critique her, etc., etc.) or a candidate's "experience."

    Brilliant. Thank god (?) this show is on TV. I just wish the above link was required viewing in the US.

  Competition is a barbaric, insensitive ritual that reeks of social Darwinism.
  We cannot allow the fittest to survive on our pages. Your loss is someone
  else's gain, and your gain is someone else's loss. Therefore, losers contribute
  to the society and winners take away from it. Being a winner is unethical, while
  a society of losers is happy and striving as a collective. In the spirit of diversity,
  inclusiveness, and collectivism our contests shall have no winners.
  Everyone is declared a loser, which in our book means an ethical team player.
