I couldn't agree more. This may be the issue I'm most passionate about.

I have plans to possibly become a teacher so I'm definitely in favor of education overhaul. And after watching Waiting For Superman a few months ago, it actually made me angry.

The fact that Rob Delaney has parlayed his absolutely ridiculous comedy into multiple opportunities to have his opinion on serious issues be heard and considered is so awesome/hilarious.

Why Obama is more than Bush with a human face.
Ground-floor thinking can give Obama lift-off. His reforms have already touched a nerve at the core of the US ideological edifice.

It's a Slavoj Žižek piece, and he's a fucking incredible writer, so I'd highly recommend reading this. And reading everything else he's written.

Damn, I thought I mentioned the super-hotness of Tulsi Gabbard.

why can't you stand him? i don't want him to become secretary of state because then there'd be another special election in massachusetts which the democrats could lose.

I didn't realize they played that outside the movie.

Austin was pretty great when I was there. Plus is at UT Austin, which has an awesome CS department.

I'm going to spend all day hitting refresh on Romney's Facebook page and watch his follower count drop. This is so entertaining.

How did we get our debt?

Quote:

As President Obama and Republican leaders in Congress square off on the debt-cutting measures that could send us over the fiscal cliff, “it’s crucial to remember the source of our deficit and debt. The Center for American Progress’ Michael Linden explains the laws passed during the Bush administration along with the wars and the bad economy over a decade made up 86 percent of the debt we’ve accumulated since 2001. President Obama’s budgets and the stimulus are responsible for only 14 percent.
