OP gets posted at 1:01, your conclusion-jumping reply gets posted at 1:04. Either you read the whole shitaree and then typed out your thoughtful reply at a pace that would make Mavis Beacon proud. Or else you read the first couple of paragraphs and jumped right into the diatribe. Either way, it was pretty fast. Congratulations all around!
[font size = "+1"]You should put that "eom" (or an "nt"
into the subject line of your post.[/font]
The whole point of including "eom" ("end of message" or "nt" (no text) is to considerately let the reader know that the subject line is all there is to the post.
In other words, "eom" indicates that there is no further message in the message box, so the reader shouldn't waste his/her time clicking the message open to read more text that is not there.
By putting "eom" in the message box, you defeat the entire purpose of using the abbreviation.
if Obama had clearly and unmistakably distanced himself from his predecessor, a lot of us would be saying 
to the headline of this article. Instead, he has retained or otherwise included way too many Republicans in his administration (the people we thought we were voting out of power) and has also retained some of the very worst of the bu$h policies. On top of that, he even likened himself to a "moderate 1980s Republican" and during his first campaign seemingly had more praise for Ronald Freakin' Reagan than for some of the Democratic icons like John F. and Robert Kennedy. So when a headline like this comes out, it is natural for some of the more liberal members here to say "It figures".
You've just proved the author's point, BTW.
Yeah sure, nice try
fun. 
.. looking for sources! Anything to tell me this was not so!
PBO praised bush for his contribution to helping AIDs in Africa. that's is far as it goes. And, that, of course, upset some people on DU. 
Reminds me of a test we took in middle school where we were asked to read all of the problems before starting. The last question instructed us to skip all the previous ones.
I think everyone failed
should vet the sources in an article and corroborate those facts with other sources if possible. He added that some journalistic posers will even provide false links to non existing or fraudulent sources.
Obama also told him to make sure any testimonies are from "reliable sources". Too often a "source" is a political hack that claims to be an unbiased and neutral source when in reality they are a paid corporate shill.
rule. 
read before you write.. do not just look for buzz words that will play into a preconception.. we all carry those around.. the hackles went up on my back before I read the entire post.. job well done
I actually made it through the whole thing without so much as looking for an onion link. Well played, Mr. Clifton. Well played.
security (ignored August 6 intelligence brief warning of imminent terraist attack), and national debt (mushroomed), curiously missing is junior's possibly greatest initiative (launching a permanent pre-emptive war of aggression featuring torture, massive destruction, unparalleled cost in treasure and American limbs and brain parts, and possibly one million Iraqi deaths). If giving credit, why not give full credit when credit is due? Let's all praise the power and glory of George W. Bush.
