    when the bones of our long dead species are excavated by some interstellar archeological suvey, I hope there is a monument somewhere on earth memorialising the fact that the US supreme court handed bush the lesser the presidency and helped to fuck us all.

      I feel like the bush era politics are a footnote to the evil Reagan inflicted on the states. Man killed the unions, and it was all downhill from there.

        oh, without a doubt.

        could certainly point back further than reagan, but yeah… thats when the shit stated pouring from the skies with the “trickle down economics” garbage.

        with relation to global climate, a gore presidency could have made a tangible, positive difference instead of another war for oil entanglement in the middle east with bush the lesser and his cronies. thats what I was alluding to.

    It would be really nice if the big mostly-white images in the sidebar on this topic were collapsible. It’s blinding in dark mode.

      I can’t believe I’m actually saying this guys, but I think we have to apologize to Al Gore…
