I voted for Nader in 2000. At the time the choice between Al Gore and Lil' Bush couldn't have been any less interesting for me.

Rand Paul '16

Cause at least he won't invade a random middle-eastern country.

Replace Rand Paul with Barack Hussein Obama and 16 with 08 and lolololol all day. I just can't vote for someone who is named after Ayn Rand. Ugh.

Ayn Rand isn't my favorite person but Atlas Shrugged had some good bits and the basic message that Socialism works just fine until you run out of other people's money remains true.


That said, as soon as we go after Syria, Lebanon probably gets destablized. Too bad, it's a pretty country with some nice people. The President and Congress really don't have a clue what's about to happen. Putin is not going to let us steamroll his port.

I have those feels.

I could not bring myself to vote for a man named Burr. I know it's completely stupid but when it came time to make the little mark next to his name I was just all, "No. There is no way a man named Burr gets my vote as a Senator from my State". Bad juju.

It's like voting for someone named Adolf. You just don't do it. King of Ohio? Fuck you and fuck your entire family name.

It's pretty obvious Pakistan then Afghanistan 2.0.

You think we're going to let the 1 trillion in resources estimated to exist in Afghanistan alone?
I guess the powers-that-be realized we made a mistake not taking out Iran and Pakistan first.

The Grand Chessboard: American Primacy and Its Geostrategic Imperatives
Regarding the landmass of Eurasia as the center of global power, Brzezinski sets out to formulate a Eurasian geostrategy for the United States. In particular, he writes, it is imperative that no Eurasian challenger should emerge capable of dominating Eurasia and thus also of challenging America's global pre-eminence.

If our pimp hand is too strong we'll encourage them to nutcup with Russia/China and morph into their greater form, Stanistan. Also unless Iran is friendly or Pakistan is a lot more stable, how do we get all that $$ out of Afghanistan? We need boats for that shit. You don't pipeline rocks. China has a level of access to all that shit way above ours.

Funny or Die made the bet that even with the Syria situation dominating cable news, their demographic would need an extra nudge to inform themselves. According to the site's stats, the video has been viewed more than 150,000 times so far, so it might just be working.

Maybe I've missed it during these first two weeks of the new semester, but I've never seen it established how/why the Syrian opposition forces are supposedly more ideal than the Assad regime for any of those things. They seem just as bad if not worse.

This. I hereby apologize for my insane ramblings and outright stupidity promoting "boots on the ground" in Syria. I blame beer...............
