Inauguration day 2009

no, a swastika = nazi if it is tilted 45 degrees

Really?

So if I adopted this as my new Negro symbol and hypothetically say I shifted that bitch hmmm.... lets say 47 degrees give a take, I would be in the clear?

Nice. I never knew that, I guess the facts are always in the details. I'll have a new Miz symbol by end of the next fortnight.

Wow @ the news about Senators Kennedy & Byrd.. prayers & best wishes to them both.

There's an unconfirmed report that Kenendy seemed much more responsive as he was being brought to the ambulance. Hopefully that's a good sign.

Someone is offing the senators with nanomachines ala MGS 2. I am pleased.

Doesn't matter how far you rotate/distort it, if it looks like a swastika, you're gonna get flamed for it. Ignorance is the in thing now.

[LD]

Not like I have to say anything at this point, but if you're trying to honestly argue that flipping the symbol makes it significantly different, then why has it been completely erased from every bit of Eastern culture that makes its way over here? Because the Nazis ruined the symbol to the point where any form of it brings a negative feeling.
Hence 'corrupted'. QED.

you don't even know. I'm in berkeley right now and well...its berkeley...

It's like that everywhere.

Every nazi swastika you see is exactly the same. Not the same for other swastikas.

But that's a moo point

[Tristam]

There is such a cult of personality surrounding Obama it's scary.

Would you say it was as big as Reagan's? or Palin's?

Edit: Demos is fast.

He moves at cow-like speed.

"One of the oldest symbols made by humans, the swastika dates back some 6,000 years to rock and cave paintings. Scholars generally agree it originated in India. With the emergence of the Sanskrit language came the term "swastika", a combination of "su", or good, and "asti", to be; in other words, well-being."

Ignorant people are ignorant.

Eff Ted Kennedy, that bloated, drunkard bastard. All the shit he gave Donald Rumsfeld, basically telling him to resign from being secratary of defense was quite disgusting. Not to mention all the cheating he did in college, and leaving a woman to drown in a car while he saved his own fat ass. He is on my list of '09 deaths. Call it being an asshole, or whatever I don't care, there is nothing redeeming about him. Don't even pull the "he's a kennedy" card. Democrats and Republicans both hate him.

This is kind of a broad statement and false too. The swastika symbol is everywhere in art if you look for it. People just have a tendency to ignore the fact that it is there but it is not erased from eastern culture at all.

[Boyiee]

So how about that line Obama made.

Your people will judge you on what you can build, not what you can destroy.

The Right-wing cant help themselves when it comes to fucking with the Clintons.


Clinton confirmation

Several members of Obama's Cabinet and high-level appointees were confirmed in the Senate after Obama's swearing-in. One person who will be hanging back: Hillary Clinton. AP reports that Sen. John Cornyn of Texas is blocking her confirmation:

Cornyn's spokesman says the senator has concerns about foreign donations to Bill Clinton's foundation:

"Senator Cornyn is a strong proponent of complete transparency and has fought for as much throughout his time in office. He is keeping all of his options on the table."

His objection could delay Clinton's confirmation by a day or two, but barring any extraordinary circumstances, she is widely expected to win approval from the Democratic-controlled Senate.
