Ack. And I am not using 'he' correctly. Proving, with roryk, the rule that every spelling or grammar correction on the net must itself contain a spelling or grammar error.
This is a variation on the old election-year gimmick of debating a cardboard cut-out. Candidate A wants to debate Candidate B. Candidate B is ahead in the polls, and doesn't want to to debate. So Candidate A holds a big dog and pony show for the press in which he 'debates' a stand-up cardboard figure of Candidate B. Politicians all over the US have done it.
Still, doing it with *dolls* is wierd. I think Nader should have included Mr. Bear and Clown and The Dancing Princess, and served them all tea and cookies.
I think marx is right: "...he doesn't give a flying fuck about the US election."
To OBL, we're all pagans, crusaders, Western women are all whores because they expose their faces in public, and so forth. He probably doesn't think too much of elections in general: radical Islam doesn't have much use for democracy.
But it's amusing to hear him parrot one of the left/liberal memes of the past year, the "My Pet Goat" thing.
She may not be factually correct about AIDS, but I can't really sit here and condemn the woman, particularily given the quantifiable good she has done in a very difficult part of the world.
I can condemn her. She's an idiot. I don't care how much good she's done, she's doing great evil spreading this very bad and stupid idea.
I don't care how good a poet Ezra Pound was, he was an idiot to be a fascist.
Talent and good intentions don't excuse a person from spreading bad ideas that cause harm.
The Nobel Peace Prize committee should have vetted her a little more diligently, and awarded the prize to someone who isn't a loon.
no offense to loons, which are really very nice birds
Let's just say that if there was something similar to Mofi/Mefi that dealt with international politics, it would be on my rss reader in a heartbeat.

So on Labor Day, nobody goes to work?
I work in an ER. I go to work. (In about 1.5 hours.)
Everyone else in town drinks heavily, gets into fights and gets hit on the heard, or else uses crack and has chest pain. Or both. Then they come to my ER. Also everyone whose own doctor took the day off (because it's like, you know, Labor Day) comes to my ER.

Ouch. Sorry. I did search, on both 'Economists' and the URL, but didn't come up with it.
