olyclimber Posted October 13, 2005 Author Posted October 13, 2005 I find it funny that if you (insert ludicrous hypothetical situation here) you'd all be (praising/condemning) (him/her), and that it all comes down to (latin phrase). -CobC. Madlibs! Quote
olyclimber Posted October 13, 2005 Author Posted October 13, 2005 I've been gone for awhile, working and such. I see I haven't been missing much. Spoken like a true liberal. Go ahead, sweep the real issues under the carpet...no ones looking! Quote

olyclimber Posted October 14, 2005 Author Posted October 14, 2005 Lets pump this thread up today. I want to see lots of debating and argueing about politics. Lots of condecending remarks, and witty retorts. Skeptical dismissals and incredulous sighs. Walk your parties line...no free thinking allowed. Quote

underworld Posted October 14, 2005 Posted October 14, 2005 yes, but the 'beating a dead horse' method is expected Quote
catbirdseat Posted October 14, 2005 Posted October 14, 2005 Sorry to interrupt this hilarity but here's a fun politics link: 0lberman The Olberman article would have had much greater impact with graphics. You could plot a timeline with the date of political embarrassments denoted by a blue bar. The corresponding terror alert would be denoted by an orange bar. To be fair, you'd have to plot ALL the political embarrassments and All the terror alerts. The problem would be defining the threshold for political embarassment. Quote
selkirk Posted October 14, 2005 Posted October 14, 2005 Now your just raising more proelbems. We don' need more problems we need solutions! Quote
chucK Posted October 14, 2005 Posted October 14, 2005 I found this graph someone did. It's not really very convincing to Olbermann's implicit allegations: Quote
catbirdseat Posted October 14, 2005 Posted October 14, 2005 (edited) It's an interesting graph showing approval ratings versus time in relation to terror alert events. Similar to what I was postulating but not exactly what the Olberman article was referring to. You have first the news story such as on Karl Rove, then you have the dip in approval rating, then you have the terror alert, then finally the corresponding rise in approval rating. Reminds me of the boy who cried wolf. Edited October 14, 2005 by catbirdseat Quote
