| Bill Clinton on Fox News. I don't know who they have working over there, but even I could have told them that was a bad idea. For those of you who don't know, since he left office, Clinton has spent most of his time working for his nonprofit charity foundation, which mostly centers on combating AIDS. In a recent article with the New York Times, he commented that he regrets not doing more about the AIDS epidemic during his tenure as president, however the Republican legislature wasn't wildly supportive of any measures to combat the disease outside the United States. Now, Clintion persues the AIDS problem with relentless zeal, raising over seven billion dollars for his foundation. In Africa, he's a rockstar. He's also commented publically that the nice thing about being out of politics is that he doesn't feel the need to be nice anymore. With this in mind, was it particurarly bright to drag Clinton onto Fox News under the pretense of talking about his non profit works, only to lambast him about Bin Ladin? So, yeah, he verbally ripped Fox News and the whole conservative Right a new collective asshole. I exhibit no surprise. Full Transcript here. | |

I heart Jon Carroll
Wow. That article is a thing of beauty. Thanks.
On a completely different subject, are you free on Wednesday nights from 7 PM EST onward? I'm running a Serenity tabletop came online with some folks you may remember from my GJ and elsewhere: Emi, Lav, Eric and some other former Signal all-stars. I'm setting it during the Unificiation War, on a neutral freelance ship. You want in?
I would, but I'm in class from 7 to 10 EST on Wednesday.
How would it work online anyway?
When you're in an AIM chatroom, you can enter a code to have the computer roll the dice for you. For instance:
//roll-dice 5-sides 10
That would randomly produce five different integer numbers, all between one and ten, inclusive. IE, it would roll five ten-sided dice.
Other than that, it's pretty much the same as regular tabletop.
Hmmm. I'd be free on Thursdays nights for an hour or so, I suspect.
Unfortunately, I've got five players so far in three different time zones. Wednesday night was the only opening we shared.
That being said, I'm hoping to run this as an extended campaign. We will probably still be here next semester, if your schedule opens up.
There's a high liklihood of a new schedule next semester. I'll let you know.

Willy handed him his ass.
Afghanistan is where we should've put most of our efforts. Saddam was getting weaker and weaker. We had no fly zones and kept his military in check. Clinton's Desert Fox made him give up getting WMD's.
Unfortunately now we've opened up a can of worms and it's our responsibility to fix it. :-/

Actually, "we" did nothing. Bush opened up that particular can of worms, and it's the rest of us that are gonna have to pay the tab, just like we're going to be paying for his reckless fiscal habits. That being said, the Repubicans have a lot of nerve to blame their fuck ups on Clinton. That was a verbal lashing they richly deserved.
We're giving Bush a lot of blame, and as he has said before, the buck stops with him.
His biggest problem though is Dick Cheney. We don't have a vice president, we have co-presidents. It's Bush's fault for letting him influence so much. We're not giving enough of this blame to Cheney. I bet we wouldn't be in Iraq if Bush didn't listen to him so much. He should've told him to shut up and go to more ribbon cutting ceremonies.
-Scott
I couldn't agree more. Unfortunately, Bush has to listen to him. Cheney's his lemon connection, and the president needs all the lemons he can get.
