Pretty cool how this article was basically bias against John McCain and said hardly anything about Obama or Clinton. I guess it's because he's friends with Libermen (who has been very stern on his opinion against video games). However I guess that means that all republicans are evil, right Spong?

Still, people who assume video games are necessarily bad for their children are probably likely to have intellectually "dumbed-down" children anyway, in my opnion.

Secondly, when are the people who "run The World" going to be the people who are good at doing it?

When the neo-cons get run out of the Republican Party and the bloated legacy of FDR is finally dissolved.

Also...the video isn't even what the article purports it to be. It is McCain's "trash talkin' interview" not anything involving Hillary or Barack or anyone who looks like them, nor is it from THQ (AFAIK) its from WWE RAW and USA Network.

wtf, Tim?

The THQ video wasn't embedded correctly - this is totally my bad, for which I apologise profusely.

That's been fixed now. Mea Culpa.

For those of you across the pond who might not be aware of it...Hillary's candidacy is a dead issue...she can't win.

Republicans and right-thinkers are both overjoyed and dismayed. Overjoyed because well...no Hillary...Dismayed because if anyone could have propelled John McCain into the White House it was Hillary Clinton. Overjoyed because she's not quitting and the inter-Democratic bloodletting will continue, dismayed because there are plenty of people who will vote for Barack who would have voted for McCain had Hillary been his opponent.

Comedians mourn a lost opportunity...4 years of Bill Clinton in the White House with nothing to do would have been rich fodder.

I'll probably vote for Obama, McCain has lost most of the respect I once had for him by not repudiating the neo-cons and the Religious Right. (He likely feels he has to get in bed with them, but who are they going to vote for, the baby killing, gay marrying, gun haters who killed Jesus?)
