I would argue the opposite. There are still a lot of talking heads and bumper stickers that throw "commie" at anyone who advocates for a welfare state. If I call someone a shithead, even the casual listener is going to ask me for evidence. It doesn't have a lot of mileage as an ad hominem attack. But I'm glad you brought up the term, it's a big part of how these wars of words are fought. Let's see what a list of red herrings, and ad hominem attacks could be in our quarrelsome political climate: Obamacare Flip-flopper Reaganite One percenter Elitist What others are there?

Tea Party is to conservative as Marxist is to liberal. It is a specific method of interpreting an economic theory and a social ideology. Therefore, calling an unknown conservative a shithead is a big leap, calling a teapartier a shithead is not as big of a leap. I would imagine any person who has an intellectual tendency towards fiscal conservatism, and has a sense of dignity, wouldn't fly a tea party flag at this point. They've already let their loonier elements make a caricature of them at this point. I think either "Republican" or even "Libertarian" would be a more dignified handle a

My relationship with Wilco has lasted longer than any of my relationships with women. Being There still reminds me of a camping trip with a girlfriend, several girlfriends back. AGIB reminds me of the beginning of a long relationship and WTA reminds me of the end. Maybe The Whole Love will someday remind me of my current relationship. Sooner or later I'm going to get married, or Wilco is going to break up..... neither sound like a good idea.

Yeah, if you have a problem with that.... your life has a shortage of problems.

Any band that J Robbins has been in charge of.

I thought tickets went on sale on Friday.

For those of you interested, the Freakshow 9 boost is now re-labeled as the 2010 boost. I have one and it rules!

Yes! Another new lady in my life: http://youtu.be/hYgyQ20TJAs

If you go to Wilcoworld look under shows. There will be a link for tickets, if there is any password requirements it will explore from there.

Viva la revolucion!

I am totally there!!!!

I heard something from the album before this that sounded cool, but this song sounds like a Pepsi commercial.

It's ok. You won't have to buy it if you don't want to.

Yeah, Denver sports have a sudden interest in breakable, aging, greats, throwing things..... well.

Wait a minute, corporations should get tax breaks because it's dumb for Americans to think things are free? Or You shouldn't insist the government close tax loop holes because the corporations qualified for them? Those arguments don't look very good.

Mitt Romney is against people getting free birth control, but he likes getting free tax breaks on his mammoth income. edit: kevin, we're thinking the same here. simultaneous post.

This is really good.

Dude, no need to feel weird about it. There is so much god damned amazing music that is already out, and coming out every year- you shouldn't ever feel bad for ignoring your favorite band for a month or two.

This is just an update of an executive order made 15 years ago. It doesn't change anything. Calling it "Obama's new executive order" is almost an outright lie. "In fact, that’s almost entirely what it is. The original EO dealing with national defense resources preparedness was issued in 1939 (EO 8248) according to the National Archives. It has been superseded a number of times, starting in 1951 by nearly every President through Bill Clinton, and amended twice by George W. Bush."

A four year doomsday prediction- similar revelations were made when he was inaugurated. If you believe those articles that we're headed for martial law you're bonkers. Too many episodes of Coast to Coast. You decry the false choice element of our two party system, while championing someone running for the GOP ticket. If what you say is true, I'm sure he's already compromised.

No, you're just championing someone who you comfortably know will never win. That way you won't be put to task, you can just sit back and say "I told you so." Keep cutting and pasting man, feels good to be right and do nothing.
