Informed dissent
OpinionNovember 7, 2008
Congratulations you unpatriotic,terrorist-palling,fake American,Islamic Marxists,you did it.You just elected Louis the Sixteenth. For those unfamiliar with the analogy,some history:King Louis XVI was the guy who got his head chopped off during the French Revolution.He didn’t sow the seeds of that revolution,or even really incite it.No,that honor belongs to his predecessor,Louis XV,who left the nation with atrocious poverty,soaring food prices,appalling inequality and anincestuouselite composed of the idle rich and fanatical religious conservatives.Add to that a foreign policy which exceeded the military’s ability to maintain the empire and,most importantly,a massive national debt whichledto an unprecedented financialcrisis,and it’s no wonder that in the last years of his rule,Louis XV said, “Aprés Moi le déluge,” which roughly translates to, “You’re all fucked now.“

OpinionNovember 7, 2008
Hate is an extremely strong word.In fact,I believe that out of all the words created to show dislike,hate is the most powerful.Think about it.Abhor,detest,spurn,disdain,loathe.None of them portrays an aversionto something like “hate” does.
