China and Russia aren't even remotely close.

Don't they share a border?

They actually share borders twice

You're confused, Siege.  Leave English grammar to English-speakers.

That's a pretty brutal thing for a hippy-flippy guy who goes around picking up languages from cultures that he proceeds to idolize above his own to say.

The Democratic convention schedule for Tuesday is out and it includes a coveted 10 o'clock slot for a certain 2016 contender:

    The Honorable Martin O'Malley
    Governor of Maryland

  Is he gonna tell us we're not better off than 4 years ago and then tell us we are?

The Democratic convention schedule for Tuesday is out and it includes a coveted 10 o'clock slot for a certain 2016 contender:

    The Honorable Martin O'Malley
    Governor of Maryland

    Introduction of Keynote Speaker Julián Castro
    Joaquin Castro
    Brother of Mayor Julián Castro
    Candidate for the US House of Representatives, Texas
     
    Keynote Address
    The Honorable Julián Castro
    Mayor of San Antonio, Texas

    Michelle Obama Video and Remarks
    Elaine Brye

    Remarks
    Michelle Obama
    First Lady of the United States

So they have a guy named Castro speaking in support of a guy who is named Hussein and whose last name sounds a lot like Osama? They should have gone the whole hog and find fellow speakers Mao and Stalin.

I know I'm not.  Fucking Irish traitor.

Shockingly, the statement that Tamas parroted is not even true.  Obama worked at law firms when he was in law school, and the university where he was a lecturer was private as well.

Oh, man.  That sounds a lot like the real world so many of us can relate to.

In Obama's own words, he felt like a "spy behind enemy lines" when he briefly worked a real job for a private company.

Career politicians are becoming more and more common unfortunately.  But maybe that is necessary.  Government is so much bigger and complex now and none are bigger or more complex than the Executive Branch of the United States.

Still it creates a certain mentality.

So did I.

I don't like it, and if there's one thing that makes me uneasy about Ryan it's that he's a career politician.  Hearing a career pol talk about their life of "public service" makes me want to vomit.  I've always been against federal term limits for senators & congressmen, but I'm starting to wonder if that might help clean up our system a little.

Yes, it makes so much more sense to have amateur know-nothings running the biggest organization in the world.  At least they have "real life experience". 

[Razgovory]

We saw how amateurs did in the debt ceiling fight.

[DGuller]

Oh, man.  That sounds a lot like the real world so many of us can relate to.

Yeah, we all can so relate to being a CEO of a corporate chop shop.  Now that's the kind of experience that schmoes like you can relate to.

[Tamas]

Yes, it makes so much more sense to have amateur know-nothings running the biggest organization in the world.  At least they have "real life experience". 

The public sector is a world in itself. It operates under different conditions than the private sector. The latter is the real world. I don't want amateurs running any country, but a career politican ends up deciding on stuff he never really experienced, precisely because he has been on the track of being the detached aristocracy of his world since college.

[Tamas]

Oh, man.  That sounds a lot like the real world so many of us can relate to.

uh-oh! rich people! we will get cooties!
