We should be doing this

Read this before so you know what 'this' is.


$22 Billion? Imagine how many of these cities we could have built for the cost of the Iraq war(I did the math: 25 and counting).

"A supply shortage for classes of offshore rigs capable of drilling in up to 10,000 feet of water means that the daily rate that operators pay to rent a high-end, deep-water drilling rig is now $500,000 to $550,000. That’s up from a day rate of $450,000 to $500,000 a year ago-and more than double the price per day on the spot market just three years ago, according to ODS-Petrodata Consulting & Research."

I did the math for you and that $22 billion would be able to sustain one rented offshore drilling rig for about 120 years. However I'm sure you are all aware that this kind of drilling is directly harmful to the environment on top of the harm that the burning of fossil fuels causes.

It isn't often that you find out that a presidential candidate is personally responsible for the deaths of hundreds.

Just like the title says.

Why the hell would the Dems pull their punches like this? Why not ask him about it?

Holy shit

Palin's 'going rogue,' McCain aide says

You'd think that they would at least want to keep it in the family. Why would they let something like this leak to the press? It could torpedo any faith people have in the potential McCain/Palin administration.

Somethings to ponder

What a McCain/Palin mob looks like.

McCain gets boos at GOP rally for defending Obama.


Just for kicks.

Get This:

A secret memo controls the rules of the presidential debates - should it?

I never heard about this, did you?

Look at how advanced they are!

The section in ch18 about Stormfront.org about their forums makes them seem very dedicated to "Foster[ing] an online community." However, all of the tools that their site uses are used by close to every single online forum. If you look all the way at the bottom of the page it says "Powered by vBulletin." If you go to the vBulletin website, the first thing they say about themselves is:

"It gives you an instant community that lets your visitors interact, take part in discussions, ask questions, give answers and express opinions."

Take a peak at their Features section. It lists, very briefly, almost everything that Statzel details about the Strormfront forum.

I'm not trying to take a dig at Statzel, I have no idea what she knows about vBulletin and how prevalent it is. What I am trying to get at is how easy it is for someone with $180 and the determination to create a hugely successful online community to start attracting members.

If there was no white supremacist site on the internet I would actually be kind of shocked, because you don't need to know how to code in html, or any other programming language. With the availibility of web servers (a google search for "web server rental" yields 757,000 results) one need not even own a server to host the website. In order to start and moderate a web forum needs little more than basic computer literacy.
