• Obama will cruise to 2012 re-election

  
  The Moderate Voice — Authority: 730
  No, that’s not a serious prediction. My real point is about Republicans getting too excited about thrashing the Democrats in 2010. Sure, that’s what I’d like to see. But remember what happened during Reagan’s first term? That precedent has been on my mind, so I was glad to see that Sam Donaldson and Cokie ...

• Dont be afraid to lay a stinky egg bomb

  
  Speak Schmeak is the blog of public speaking coach Lisa Braithwaite — Authority: 461
  In an interview with the Foo Fighters recently, Jack Black asked the band if their song ideas ever dry up. The answer was no. JB: "You never have the fear that you are now empty... ever." FF: "Thats not to say that I think we write the greatest songs ever in the history of songs. But I feel like we could go into ...

• Abortion Analogies

  
  Akron Law Caf — Authority: 133
       The enactment of the Stupak Amendment as part of the health care bill reawakens the debate over abortion.  Both sides invoke arguments by analogy in support of their positions on abortion and abortion funding.  I find a third analogy to be more fitting – one that supports the Supreme Courts position that ...

• The Fort Hood massacre was rhetorical flourish as Obama urged House Democrats to vote for health care.

  
  Althouse — Authority: 740
  His idea was: Soldiers make sacrifices for the good of the country, so congressional Democrats should put their concerns about the next election aside for the good of the country. “He was absolutely inspiring. In a very moving way, he reminded us what sacrifice really is,” said New Jersey Rep. Rob Andrews, ...

• Signs

  
  Jennwith2ns — Authority: 118
  God and Moses are having their little back-and-forth about whether God knows what Hes doing in choosing Moses to get the rest of the Israelites out of Egypt, and whether Moses is going to do it, and God says, "Heres how youll know it was me who sent you to do this: after you guys all get out, youll come back and ...

• How useful are you?

  
  Speak Schmeak is the blog of public speaking coach Lisa Braithwaite — Authority: 461
  Download audio here. When reading this post by Scott Ginsberg, I was struck by how similar his tips for making money are to tips for giving a successful presentation. Check it out... " 9. Revenue is the aftershock of usefulness. If you want to make money, make something that people need. If you want to ...

• If Harper Was a Tree…

  
  Red Tory v.3.0 — Authority: 478
  Like Presidents before him, President Obama planted a commemorative tree on the White House Grounds today. The 25’ Littleleaf Linden replaces an Oak planted by President Harrison in 1889. So, if we had a similar tradition here and Stephen Harper was a tree… what kind would he be?

• a car out of alignment

  
  Mr. SponsorPants — Authority: 124
  "... the main problem of the alcoholic centers in his mind, rather than his body." "Alcoholics Anonymous" (AAs Big Book) Chapter 2, There is a Solution, pg. 23 Treating the disease of alcoholism is like driving a car that has its wheels out of alignment . Its driveable, but whats needed is an ...

• I Read Matt Welch. Then I Ask Myself . . .

  
  The New Ledger Chequer-Board — Authority: 141
  How is it that Frank Rich still has a job with the New York Times ? If only some of the Times’s ownership would ask itself the same question. Incidentally, is there a sort of Godwin’s Law for bad Stalin analogies?

• Halloween Q&A

  
  Blogonoscopy — Authority: 112
  Is Halloween my favorite holiday? Yes. Is it my favorite day of the year? Yes. Do I love it like a fat kid love cake? Yes. Do I love it like rappers love lame analogies? Yes. Do I feel ashamed that, despite this perhaps-slightly-maniacal passion, I didnt carve a single- , triple- . or ...

• Analogies

  
  Kings of War — Authority: 467
  Did you know that the Soviets were in Afghanistan in the eighties? Apparently they lost. A bit like the Americans in Vietnam. If only they’d tried COIN like we did in Iraq in 2007, all would be well. We should double down in Afghanistan like we did there. …Wait, maybe the lesson is that the stakes aren’t high ...

• Argument by analogy

  
  Joho the Blog — Authority: 593
  A judge has ruled that email is not protected under the Fourth Amendment. This sounds wrong to me (although I am very much not a lawyer), but what I really enjoy are the many many arguments by analogy as slashdotters try to figure out what email is like , so we can see what privacy expectations to port over from ...

• Gitmo’s Boombox: Does an official “Music Torture” song list actually exist?

  
  Darren Garnick's Culture Schlock — Authority: 445
  DOUBLE STANDARD? When John Cusack bombards his girlfriends home with music, its cute. When the CIA uses a boombox, its torture. So, a pretentious group of musicians is upset that their music is being used to torment America’s most dangerous enemies? And now they want the U.S. government to release an official ...

  Marine Snow — Authority: 118
  A few years after my Aunt Megan died, when my folks and I were back on speaking terms, I went to visit them. My Dad and I had a few glasses of red wine one evening, and we went to sit outside on the patio so I could smoke. They have this amazing house in [...]

• Ive posted so many analogies in my blog that it has become an analogy

  
  impudent strumpet — Authority: 131
  There are some people who have the attitude "I can do X, so anyone should be able to do X." This often comes with connotations that the people who can do X are just being lazy, and if theyd be diligent theyd be able to do X just fine. So heres my analogy: I average two blog posts a day. (Yes, Ive been lazy lately, ...

• Filing Rights

  
  Marine Snow — Authority: 118
  At work I file a lot of investigations. It’s what usually we say if we are closing a case because there are no further lines of enquiry to pursue. If you’ve been a victim of crime you may have spoken to someone like me. Someone who contacts you and breaks the news that unfortunately, despite [...]

• "The older you get, the smarter your parents get": two possible perspectives

  
  impudent strumpet — Authority: 131
  Ive been very frustrated with my elders lately, because they arent being smarter than me in the ways I need them to be. Im not talking professional knowledge or knowledge specific to certain hobbies and interests, Im talking life knowledge and skills that you absorb or figure out just by living life. How to remove a ...

  RonAmok! — Authority: 106
