Political Games - Where the fuck’s the reset button?

I was reading Steve Gilliard’s excellent blog, when I noticed these two posts right after each other. In chronological order…

The long, slow march to oblivion: Hillary Clinton defends pro-war vote -12:56 am

The not-so-slow march to oblivion: Federal Videogame Regulation Proposed [by Hillary and Joementum] -1:06 am

So Ms. Clinton is afraid that our children might see animated gore and blood and violence, and they’ll therefore… be more inclined to kill, or something… but she has no problem defending a vote sending young men and women to another country to kill people, and then continue to defends that vote after the war becomes untenable and the prewar intel is revealed to be bullshit? With all due respect to the Junior Senator from New York, but you need to get your fucking priorities straight. I’ve played violent video games since I was 5, and I’m a pacifist. I still love playing Halo, GTA, Starcraft, and every other bloody, “psycholigically-damaging” game in existence. But “oh no, t3h horror, t3k kidz0rz are being exposed to blood and b00bs!”, but it’s ok if 2100+ Americans die on foreign soil.

But hey, who am I to critique a person who clearly has forgotten more about the subject than I could ever know… [/snark]

Mike, could you give me access to edit my presentation files? I’ll break it if I try… Specifically the sidebar one. I’ve got a sitemeter [god knows why…] and it’s required that I have it visible on my site, but I can’t edit the sidebar to put it in [so if you’re reading this, Site Meter, I am in the process of adding your counter; technical difficulties, but they should be cleared up soon…

Thanks Mike!

So I changed my blog title and tag. My title is snarky, in case you can’t tell. It reflects my disgust with how every new major crisis is responded to with a new PR offensive, though nothing else changes. I wish there was a reset button…
