Believe RobRoy is busy watching the new presidents speech.

It's fitting that his last post here is saying that we just elected Hitler. I'll miss him.

Sigh, that might just be the final Robroy Nazi Countdown post. Our old pal Robroy will now be goosestepping his way out of the Seattle area. For the coming months, he'll be too busy purchasing marked arm-bands and negotiating care for his family pets when he and his wife are eventually rounded up and taken to a ghetto and eventually a concentration camp in Tennessee (or is it Kentucky?).

So, while the rest of the world finds some new enthusiasm and start asking again how we can bridge our divides, we won't have Robroy there to warn us that we should hate each other. When we start rebuilding our economy and our nation with energy and infrastructure initiatives, Robroy won't be around to assert that our increased freedom of motion and decreased dependency on foreign energy are just "the Man's" way of enforcing his power. And when we start bringing our soldiers home, we won't have Robroy to make it clear that only a Muslim terrorist would enact policies that might reduce the number of deaths in the Middle East.

God speed Robroy! We'll miss your delusional and over-reverent ways.

How to win an unproveable argument in 3 easy steps:

1. Assert that your unproveable argument is true because you are special.
2. Assert a different argument that your audience strongly disagrees with but has a chance of being true.
3. If your second argument is true, use that as evidence that you are more special than your audience and therefore they must be wrong about the first argument as well.

If #3 does not pan out then move on to a different audience.

WOW. The Republicans are throwing Palin under the bus in a big way: http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2008/11/0 ... 41653.html

Yeah, it's really true. The Fairness Doctorine was around for 40 years up until 1987. Frankly, I don't think it's that big of a deal either way.

It's like the "issue" that was posted a couple of days ago about Democrats wanting to steal everyone's 401k plan. I'm sure that all the righty talkers raised that alarm last week.

A little digging about it of course found that it was something one economist said at one congressional meeting a month ago. Not something any politician had endorsed at all or it seems taken seriously.

Constantly setting up strawmen and knocking them down.
