As someone who self-identifies as a conservative, I feel like suing these morons for dragging us all down to their moronic level. True libertarian-style conservatism is dead.

2 Star Wars items: 1) Check this out! This guy has too much time on his hands. I discovered the site several years ago after NPR did a report on his "jet-powered beer cooler". There's a link to that on the same page. 2) Does anyone know of a place online to play the original Star Wars arcade video game?

Yay!! Thanks!

I use the search bar (in the upper right) quite a bit, but would often like for my searches to open up in new tabs. I can't find a way to do that. Any know if you can?

(And his Mother Called him Bill, if you can't see the writing on the image) I like this one because, seeing as it was recorded in the 60s, the sound is terrific, and there is some phenomenal swinging as well as some excellent playing on slower numbers.

I TOTALLY forgot jazz! Agghh... Miles Davis Quintet - Workin', Relaxin', Steamin', Cookin' Charles Mingus - Ah Um, Mingus Mingus Mingus Mingus Thelonious Monk - Monk's Music, Brilliant Corners Sonny Rollins - Saxophone Colossus

Downloaded it today. Seems to be working fine so far. Thanks for the tips on the add-ons. I esp. like the foxmarks idea.

Josh Rouse, they collected dust for too long.

I'm not wanting to go to 3.0 yet because of the problems w/ Vista compatibility previously reported on this board.

Sore Loser?

I own and love them all, and many other obvious omissions, but I was hoping to get some underdogs on the final list.

Just to clarify, that is most certainly not my POV.

I think there are plenty of good libertarians, but I don't know of any good libertarian candidates.

Most other countries in the Middle East view the very existence of Israel as a taunt.

I'm raising my kids to be a socially awkward as I was so I don't have to worry about this.

No doubt about the ultimate winner, but I'm curious to see how the percentages play out. McCain getting 30% or higher would be something of a surprise to me.

Hopefully anyone who votes other on either questions will post to explain their vote.

I thought about adding that, but thought "other" would suffice.

All this political discussion has been interesting and a bit more diverse than I expected on a Wilco board, I'm curious!

I'm not sure, ask Karl Marx or Vladimir Lenin.

I think the segment of the population that votes on SCOTUS issues (abortion, guns, gay marriage, etc.) will almost always vote for their party of choice because many either don't understand precedent and the principle of stare decisis or don't trust the court to respect it. Those who want their guns will still vote Republican, those who want to take them away will still vote Democrat.

No doubt the founders provided a context of the necessity of militias. What is the historical basis to say that owning guns to prevent crime would've been considered crazy by the founders?

On a semi-related note, does anyone watch the Morgan Spurlock show, 30 Days? This week, a woman against gay adoption lived with a gay (male) couple who had 4 kids. She would get so upset when people would question her beliefs that all of these gay people she was around shouldn't have children.
