To All Wannabe Right-Wing Debaters Here:

Unless your argument contains a link to the source of whatever facts you are using to support it, I will henceforth assume that your talking points came directly from The 700 Club.

I post this for use by anyone here who regularly ventures outside the bubble.

That is all...

The Shock Doctrine: Aurora

I do not for one minute believe Mitt Romney's public "condolences" for the families of the victims of the Aurora theater shooting. The shooting and the resulting political and media cease-fire is the best thing that could have possibly happened for him. Anyone who thinks that the GOP isn't taking full advantage of the situation is absolutely kidding themselves. This isn't a football game, it's a war. A real war. In disaster situations like this, conservatives have again and again throughout US history pulled off their most damaging stuff while the public is in a state of shock.

Kochroaches are people, my friend...

This was originally posted in the DU Lounge, but after much soul-searching I decided it is better posted in GD...

Edit: Given Romney's recent "unmasking" in the MSM, I figured this would be a good time to kick this post.

DogKnob's official contribution to Campaign 2012 is here!

So far, we have BUTTONS and HOODIES* ready for you to add to your political fashion repertoire!

Edit: I'll do bumper-stickers if anyone is interested, but if Rmoney somehow steals the election, please contribute to my "Get DogKnob The Fuck Out Of The Country ASAP" fund.

*Hoodies have the regular pouch, but do not include an NRA-approved concealed weapons pouch. Please stand your ground responsibly.

My entries in the Henri "feel-alike" contest...

If you have not seen the "Henri" films, they are very funny (https://www.facebook.com/henrilechatnoir). The first two are better than the new third one IMO.

During the "Henri Fever" that broke out after the second film, I saw many posts about him here on DU.

Anyway, the ennui-filled (yet adorable) zoomorph, in a half-hearted, shark-jumping effort to reach the 16th minute, is having a photo caption contest on his Facebook page.

These are my entries, featuring the corpulent (yet cuddly) Molly. You may "like" them. You may "ignore" them. Molly doesn't care...

Thinking about building my next computer. Can you point me to good resources/help?

I'd love to build a laptop, but if I can put together a compact enough desktop that is easy to move around, then that's not out of the question.

I need top graphics, top audio and lots of high-speed ports for connecting audio hardware (lowest possible latency is the goal here -- and most pro audio gear plays badly with hubs).

I had a mac back in the snow leopard days, but I'm now using Win7. Any system I build will probably be a dual-boot Linux/Win7 -- I just don't like where Apple is going in their attempts to dictate everything; they've sort of become what Microsoft was like before Firefox kicked their ass and Vista shamed them into humility. Once Apple gets the ass-kickin' that's definitely coming to them, I might consider OSX again.

If anyone here can point me to useful resources/advice for building my own rig, I'd be much obliged.

P.S. I know my remarks about Apple are going to incur the ire of many. Let me say in advance "point taken." I'd like help building a computer, not a "less filling/tastes great" debate thread.
