I can't access UD at work. I'll have to look it up when I'm at lunch.
It was just one that popped into my head as I was getting into the car this morning. The other one I thought of was Sienna Simpleton. Beyond that, I'm starting to reach.

Was Clinton wearing an earbud during the "candidates' forum" hosted by Matt Lauer?
Sources in the NYPD seem to think so....
I wonder if Trump's team is going to try to hack into the frequency during the debates....

Fox News thinks Trump will win, at least publicly they're saying that.
An MSNBC personality carries as much weight when saying something to protect the Democratic candidate as they do when they lambaste Trump for having orange skin and a ****zu on his head instead of human hair.

Comparing Rachel Maddow's integrity to Fox News personalities is like comparing WWE to PBS.

It was a dumb attempt, too. The reason the Dubya earpiece during the debate resonated was it made perfect sense: he was a charming ignoramus human shield for the psychotics who pulled his strings -- of course they were programming him. OTOH, even the most whacked out sufferers from HDS admit she's sharp and completely on top of the subject matter. If anything they say she's too smart and too calculating -- none of the hurr durr set would like to have a beer with her (this is supposed to be a negative somehow).
They should go back to their "she's the lesbian lover of that ISIS member Huma!" crazy uncle chain letters. At least those fit the narrative.

Because when it comes to debunking things that make Democrats look bad, lord knows Maddow is the reigning authority.
I'll agree it's most likely BS, but let's not pretend that she isn't fully in the tank for Hillary.
That's still a reliable trope among Freeptards.

In the era of FOX news this entire line of thinking is hilarious.

Maddow played up the 'nerd cute' like she always does, and it got to him.
It amazes me the number of college educated men who fall for her shtick hook, line, and sinker, but have no problem criticizing the bubble-headed bleach blondes of Fox.
Re: An Experiment: A Literal Political Thread
for some reason, your post reminded me of an article in Pravda during the Cold War.
From time to time, the USSR and the USA would have bilateral athletic competitions as a way of reassuring the rest of the world (and mutually ourselves, I suppose) that we actually could get along with each other every now and then.
The Pravda headline would sometimes read "USSR finishes second, USA finishes next-to-last."
In that case, they actually were telling "a" truth.....but "the" truth, so to speak??

Re: An Experiment: A Literal Political Thread
If I might first apologize for letting my disgust at Clinton's moral depravity show through so clearly, I tried to keep it evidence-based (like her very own words that she was having memory lapses after a concussion!) but some of my "evidence" was not quite so reliable, I guess they call that confirmation bias.
so anyway.....

Re: An Experiment: A Literal Political Thread
awhile earlier in this thread, I had cited a moral philosopher about a particular issue, and the OP of the thread responded by describing how much he liked that philosopher's work.
Reading a bit more, an interesting exercise in moral reasoning came to me. It is presented in a way that seems "provocative" in the sense that it is designed to evoke an emotional reaction.
That emotional reaction in turn is a signal to us that we need to think things through a little more than we are used to. The results eventually will be fine.
The first step is to lay out an observation, purported to be empirically far more likely to be the case than not:
"Those people who are most adamant that Darwin's theory of evolution through natural selection is the only right way to understand biology are also the very same people who are most adamant that the unfortunates of our society be protected from Darwinian pressures that otherwise would cull their existence."
It is deliberately phrased to sound 'harsh' to highlight the glaring intellectual contradiction.
Of course I pretty much agree with both premises of the statement yet have no sense of contradiction at all about it, because I can make one minor tweak in the wording of one of the statements that makes it work out after all.

Fish, the fact that you have to condescendingly recall this anecdote as if I'm some wide-eyed 18 year-old college freshman sitting in your Economics 101 lecture, is just silly.
I might be able to see Maddow for the pathetic opportunist that she is, but that doesn't mean I'm on your side here.

Yes. This is that man. For my money, one of the three finest ethical philosophers of the 20th century, along with him and the incomparable her.
