All right, folks, time to talk about something non-partisan and really important. Here we have the Anti-Counterfeiting Trade Agreement , a multi-national agreement that's been in talks since 2007. Currently the second big-whoop meeting is taking place in Seoul, South Korea. To all appearances, the main thrust of the agreement is about multi-national cooperation against counterfeiters, which...

I have not seen this so I'm not sure if it's bad enough to be posted on this community, however the person who posted a review blasted it so completely... I think it really could be considered for a post here. As you might guess, it's a retelling of Romeo & Juliet with seals. I'm going to steal the review and repost here, it's written by badlydrawnjeff The film establishes early...

Suffice it to say, it's a major initiative. I've gone over why I think this is a bad idea in previous posts, and someone in one of these threads even implored me to put aside my protestations and "enjoy the investment" in public...

The prize? Well, nothing. But, it's fun! Pretend you are badlydrawnjeff (for those of you who don't know him, pretend you're the most far right person you can think of) (and this is open even to people who ARE badlydrawnjeff ) and defend Fox News (or find a way to debunk it) after reading this story and watching the video: http://thinkprogress.org/2009/03/16/fox-news-fundamentals/...
