"Daniel Tu" Truth Squad

On my last article about media perception, a random guy on my campus forums created the topic..."Daniel Tu" Truth Squad.

I had trouble figuring out the image sourcing so you can find the screen capture here (WARNING: I couldn't get my filer webpage to accept a jpg file so it's a 3.75 MB bitmap image...I'll try to remedy this when I don't have class coming up)

Laughably, it has 100 posts.

Flow of argument
Neocon statistics "disproving" any Bush bashing I did --> No Child Left Behind --> Halliburton --> WMD --> Iraq --> Freedom --> Values/Morality

Typical.

That's pretty funny.

And I guess good for you if you're wanting to stir the pot.

At least it got some sort of discussion going ;).

Or should we say infamous...

Just FYI, Windows 2000 or XP Paint has capabilities built into it to convert a .BMP into a .JPG, just choose Save As... and change to the appropriate format.

I'm not sure how any of those represent Values and Morality. In fact, the freedom we're in the process of losing makes up for the freedom we gave the Iraqis, so at best that's a neutral argument.

I kept getting that evil red X when I converted it into .jpg. I'm sure I can find a CS or MIS major to tell me the stupid thing I'm doing wrong.

Freedom as a zero sum system is a rather interesting idea.

That what the world is going from (not coming to). It'll all be better after the election, whoever wins...

Yes, after the election I can write about my opinions on how to improve the university, which I'm sure my audience will appreciate more than my ramblings on politics.

Less disagreable indeed but less entertaining as well, I like the elections as either a soap opera or a sideshow depending on my mood. but I don't care as much for my Uni as I do for politics. I don't know ofcourse how it is over there.

but think, great reporter and the like are made in war and politics and the American elections are both at the same time.
