Yesterday
brianr commented on the topic Sarah Palin to Step Down as Governor of Alaska, MSNBC's @AndreaMitchell reports:
"Talking to people who are very close to Sarah Palin, I have been told that she has told her supporters that she is out of politics, period. She is fed up with politics. She doesn’t like her life. She feels like she has to raise her family. She’s sick of the commute from Wasilla to the capital and she really does not want to run for higher office. This is not the case where she is stepping down in order to figure the way for a presidential run. In fact, she has told some of her biggest backers in the national Republican Party that they are free to choose other candidates for 2012." http://thinkprogress.org/2009/07/03/palin-resign/
brianr said Hussein was more afraid of the religious zealots in Iran and bin Laden than the U.S. http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2009/07/01/AR2009070104217_pf.html
brianr commented on the topic Debate Over Health Care Reform, 76% favor a public option. Stunning. http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2009/06/17/obama-boost-new-poll-show_n_217175.html
brianr took a stand Healthcare reform should include a government-sponsored health insurance option. The most efficient private healthcare providers will rise to the top. There's an argument to be made that the public-private education system has made private schools more competitive and actually lowered government costs. This study actually talks about how competition from private schools improves achievement for both public and private school students. http://www.ncpa.org/sub/dpd/index.php?Article_ID=17156 Why can't this happen with health care?
Ninja Cat said @brianr agrees 10% of the time more with @SarahPalin than I do.
brianr commented on the issue Which is Michael Jackson's best studio album?, That's fair. Do it!
a topic was approved by brianr, House Passes Climate Bill
brianr commented on the opinion of Joe Kelliher on Should the Pledge of Allegiance include the phrase "under God"?, Many don't seem to realize that it was originally written without the phrase. Thank you for pointing that out.
brianr said Right, sort of different than "our CEO is healthy" when he's on his death bed.
brianr commented on the opinion of Nick Oliva on Should Lehman Brothers have been bailed out by the federal government?, The fall of Lehman is generally considered to have triggered the economic crisis in this country. To not see the correlation between the country's economic collapse and the ramifications it has on our national security is pretty lame.
brianr commented on the issue Did Michael Jackson's death merit the media coverage it received?, @gethro give the last call a little more time. Your first last call came two hours after you proposed the issue and one out of the two comments you got gave you a thumbs down. You might as well have not waited for any comments.
brianr said Illegally occupying? Weird. His name is "Barack" too. That's one r.

brianr took a stand Michael Jackson's personal life will tarnish his musical legacy. I think it already has. The New York Post is still referring to Jackson as 'Jacko,' not that I would expect anything less from a trashy organization like the Post.
brianr commented on the issue What was the deciding factor in your most recent purchase of a portable media player?, "Something that looks large and clunky" is not about size, @gethro? I mean, c'mon, we're getting a little picky here. If we're going to pull out size as a separate option then why not color or shape too?
brianr said Hehe.
