I tweaked a setting and, hopefully, this is no longer an issue. Please let me know if you continue it see it.

Ha! So, the presumptive Republican nominee, previously having been Bachmann, Perry, Gingrich, Cain, Santorum, and Gingrich again, will actually be Zombie Ronald Reagan?
That's probably the only thing that could make this nomination battle even more absurd than it is already.

The bill is for a windfall profits tax on oil companies aimed at preventing price gouging. You know who signed a windfall profits tax into law? Sarah Palin. So, it's not only Obama's America (a strange connection for you to make given that Obama is not a House Democrat and has no announced position on the bill), but Palin's Alaska.

Just call me Dr. Steelenshmirzt. I have an evil plan to use my Postinator to take over the world.
I hope this thread gets lots of hits. Too bad I didn't think of posting it.
You are correct that I post threads to get hits. I do it under my name. Doesn't everyone post threads here to get hits? Who wants their message to be ignored? Why do you post here? Isn't it to get hits?
I love conspiracy theories. I especially love conspiracy theories in which I am the evil mastermind. Keep up the good work.

This is pretty funny:

So is it the oil? What has caused three Republican presidents to do nothing but favors for Iran?
Frankly, I'm not sure that Democratic presidents have acted much differently. I'm kind of thinking out loud here, but traditionally (i.e. before the Islamic Revolution in Iran), Iran was an ally of Israel. The Turkey-Israel-Iran axis was a counterweight to the Arab states. Even after the revolution in Iran, there have been covert ties between Iran and Israel (remember that Israel was smack in the middle of the Iran-Contra affair). Iran served the purpose of drawing the Arabs' attention from Israel, with the Iran-Iraq war being the most concrete demonstration. But, after the US invasion of Iraq which removed Iran's most immediate threat and replaced it with a pro-Iranian government, the threat to the region posed by Iran outgrew it's usefulness. From the US viewpoint, Iran should present just enough of a threat to keep the Saudis dependent on America, maintaining stable oil prices and buying US weapons, but not enough of a threat to actually do anything. Nuclear weapons and a controlling interest in Iraq would push Iran over that threshold. Hence, the current policy to knock the country down a peg or two.
Many of the blackouts are only lasting 12 hours. I contemplated blacking out DCUM, but have been very busy dealing with another project and simply haven't had time or energy to put together the code necessary to do it.
Despite some political movement in opposition to SOPA and PIPA, they remain a real threat. Obama has announced his opposition, but if I had a dollar for everything he opposed but later caved in over, I would be in the 1%. The proponents of the net censorship laws are very powerful and very wealthy. The worst part about it is that supporters in Congress simply don't seem to understand how the Internet works. In this case, stupidity is a bigger threat than political differences.

Okay, I made the thread a "sticky".

So it has to be that blatant for you to think something may be off with these murals? Quite honestly, I think they're brutal enough. What's the point? Even if you research the artist, Leo Tanguma, who claims to juxtapose genocide with humanity, where are the truly "harmonious" works?
Art interpretation is far from my strongest skill (much closer to my weakest), but it seems pretty clear that the first one is a comment on the brutality of war and the "happy family" shows all the world's people united in peace while bending a sword into a plowshare. I am reminded a bit of Picasso's "Guernica".

Adding two additional posts to the thread is not a particularly good strategy for killing a thread. Do you routinely douse fires with gasoline?
I reindexed it and things should be fine now.
If it really was copy and pasted from someplace else, it might be a copyright violation. But, if someone can find the message and post a link here, I'll take a look. I can look myself a little later, but since I have never seen it, I might have a harder time finding it.
He wants to consolidate agencies that deal with trade and commerce. For instance, fold SBA into DOC. EPA is not involved. Sorry, wingers.
