I wouldn't even attempt it. You just end up with cinnamon all over the place because it is nearly impossible to not cough.And there will be no attempts on the cinnamon challenge; that just looks gross.

Oh I would be so happy if CNN were left wing, or even left of center. CNN is a little bit right of center, and they're drifting further right all the time. Fox is so far to the right, they make CNN seem Left by comparison.And Fox News may not be balanced, but it's no more right wing than CNN is left wing. The problem, as with all the major news outlets, is that it's incredibly unintellectual (which is exactly what OSC is saying).
I agree on the unintellectual comment, but if it were intellectual, I imagine OSC would accuse the channel of being elitist buffoons with a radical secular agenda to murder God and sit on his sky throne and also making Jesus the court-jester-monkey-slave. Down with the evil intellectual usurpers! they are out to get us all! Oh waily waily waily!
So, Lone Star, now you see that evil will always triumph because good is dumb.

I guess if you think DailyKos or HuffoPo are centrists, you could come to the conclusion that CNN is "right of center."
In reviewing stories from the last primary election cycle, a Harvard study found the following:
CNN casted a negative light on Republican candidates by a margin of more than 3-1. The breakdown for Republican candidates was: 14% positive, 41% negative. Obama's breakdown, on the other hand, looked like: 46% positive, 8% negative. The Democrats candidates as a whole: 27% positive, 23% negative. Democrats were twice as likely as Republicans to get positive coverage and nearly half as likely to get negative coverage.
Fox New's breakdown? Republicans: 32% positive, 21% negative. Democrats: 24% positive, 37% negative. Democrats were about three-quarters as likely to get positive coverage and about 1.7 times as likely to get negative coverage.

I know there's a language barrier, and most times I can understand what you're saying, but in this case... what? I think you're suggesting that the Democrat candidates were better than the Republican ones, but I'm not sure.
If that's the case, I'm not sure why that would matter in a primary race, where members of a party vote among several candidates from their party for who will run in the national election against the other party. Democrats v. Democrats, Republicans v. Republicans.

In other fun accent news, I had some very inappropriate thoughts while watching the latest Twilight movie when Jasper, in a Southern accent, said "Sorry 'bout that, ma'am." He won't be using that in Airbender but I may have to see that now, for him.

This is honestly one of the most awesome things I've ever heard of.

You play table tennis with your mind.
You have to concentrate and relax, at the same time. Your relaxation keeps the ball from reaching your goal, while your concentration sends it to your opponents goal.(using brain waves)
Whoever outconcentrates and outrelaxes the other, will score the point.
Seriously, it sounds like they stole this from the Sympathy showdowns in the Name Of The Wind. (For those of you who will get the reference, remember the sympathy showdowns in the class with Kvothe, believing your opponents stick is your candle and creating a sympathetic connection and believing your candle is the same as a candle in the oven and creating a sympathetic connection so that the energy is transferred to your opponents stick, all while believing your stick is not your opponents candle to counter his sympathetic connection. Whoever lights their opponents candle first, wins)
So f****** awesome.

reviving the CNN debate (and really, syphon's statistics showed that CNN was only 3% more favorable towards democrats than Fox News, clearly that 3% is indicative that they are left wing and LIBERAL AS ALL HELL)(
CNN just fired a long time employee for praising a muslim cleric for the strides he made that benefit Islamic women because that same cleric had ties to terrorism.
This would be like CNN firing someone for praising George Bush's African Aids initiatives because Bush has ties to torture.
I think Nasr's firing supports my assertion CNN is not left wing, I think Andrew Sullivan put it best:

and a list of journalists fired for not adhering to neo-conservative principles.What I do know is that if you tweet that Supreme Court Justice David Souter is a "goat-f****** child molester" or that "Linda Douglass really is the Joseph Goebbels of the White House Health Care shop," you don't get fired by CNN. You get hired. But if you express qualified support for some of the positions of a cleric whose funeral Nouri al-Maliki just attended, you have no future in American journalism - even after twenty years of non-controversial work at CNN.
Our discourse is being chilled by those who are supposed to protect it.

Are you kidding me? That's what you get out of the breakdown? Not the fact that when the supposedly "right of center" news station discussed Republican candidates, only 14% of the time it was positive and 41% of the time it was negative. They were three times as likely to provide negative coverage for Republicans as positive coverage. They were twice as likely to provide positive coverage for Democrats as for Republicans. They were nearly twice as likely to provide negative coverage for Republicans as for Democrats. They must be crazy right-wingers to positively cover Democrats and negatively cover Republicans. Some vast right-wing conspiracy, no doubt. MSNBC would have none of the conspiracy, of course, painting Republicans in a positive light 38% of the time (compared to 30% negative).
As far as the Nadr story goes, I guess you haven't actually read the tweet that got her fired. Not that I'd expect you to, of course, but hey.
Sad to hear the passing of Adolf Hitler. One of Nazi Germany's giants I respect a lot.. #Nazi
I can't believe people would miscontrue that. All I meant was that I respect him for the strides he made in pushing for the production of a reliable, affordable car for the middle and lower class Germans. Give me a break.
If you're going to bitch about her being fired for her political views, that's one thing. I wouldn't have fired her. But to pretend that she was fired because she praised a leader of a terrorist organization for a very specific thing he accomplished is not just silly, it's well out of line with reality.

Yeah, that totally comes across as praising him for "the strides he made that benefit Islamic women." Or, you know, not. Which is probably why, per her latest tweet, she "regret [the] tweet about [the] Fadlallah death [because she] didn't explain specific respect for standing up for Muslim women."Sad to hear of the passing of Sayyed Mohammad Hussein Fadlallah.. One of Hezbollah's giants I respect a lot.. #Lebanon

I'm pushing through
I'll disregard the cost
I hear the bells
so fascinating and
I'll slug it out
I'm sick of waiting

hear the bells are
ringing joyful and triumphant

You are a horrible person for not putting a return statement in main (I don't care if it's never reached). Also for using c++.Random number generator!

#include <cstdlib> #include <iostream> using namespace std; int main() { for(;;) { int random_integer = rand(); cout << random_integer << endl; } }

Marvel's insistence that it's in the "real world" throws me for a loop every time. I don't really want my superheroes mentioning pop stars. It gets dated very quickly.

Someday, someday I will have my own *sensible* library. It will have many, many shelves, and I won't have to double- or triple-stack any of my books. Nothing messes with an organised library like trying to maintain a system as well as keep the books you access more often on the front row.
