Who is the Gamer’s Candidate? | Edge Online

"Though the situation is no longer so clear-cut, Senator Obama and Senator McCain (as well as running mates Senator Joe Biden and Governor Sarah Palin) do differ in opinion on several political matters that are critical to industry health. These are the things you as a gamer should know before you cast your ballot in November." - George Kelly

I took John MCain's acceptance speech from last night's Republican convention and compared it to Barack Obama's acceptance speech from the Democratic convention and made wordles of each. John McCain's wordle is on top, Barack Obama's is on bottom. <a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/t...">Best viewed large here.</a> - Thomas Hawk via Bookmarklet

What worries me is that the word 'freedom' isn't big enough to see in either one. - Jay Wiegmann
I thought the word I and me would show more prominently in McCain's wordle. Fight is clearly visible. - Russellreno
interesting to see a few prominent word differences. McCain: fight, government, world, make. Obama: promise, time, new. Also interesting, in keeping the Palin-Biden wordle comparisons, that the Democrats mention McCain a lot in their speeches by name but the Republican's rarely mention Obama by name at all. Both seem to mention country, America, and Americans alot. - Thomas Hawk
Hey Thomas, I have a feeling mingling both would be even more interesting than the speeches on their own... - Vincent Ferrari
I could tell who's Wordle was who's as soon as I looked at it. - Cecily Walker
Obama is into McCain, but McCain is into Americans and the Country. hmm. Obama has America and American very large, but Americans is small? It just seems to me like Obama wants to tear us apart and McCain wants to fight for America. I know who Americans will vote for... not the guy who obviously hates them - Noah David Simon
I think it is interesting how prominent the word "promise" is in the Obama one. Is he doing a lot of criticizing of other's promises or is he making a lot of his own? - Kenton
@Kenton: Neither really. The usage was more in line with " indication of future excellence or achievement" - AJ Kohn
excellence in tearing the other guy apart because he wants to fight for America? no thanks Obama - Noah David Simon
looks like McCain doesn't make promises he can't keep - zach chisholm
Fight for *some* of America it seems. And not fight and win at all costs in Iraq and hey, step off Iran and Russia we got some for you too. No thanks. I'll fight to get our economy back (which is directly related to the war), and eduction, and health care and equal rights. Oh, I'll fight alright. - AJ Kohn
there's a 'war' inside Obama's 'promise' - Mister Groonk via twhirl

Why McCain can't stop saying "my friends." - By Paul Collins - Slate Magazine
Tuesday at 7:55 am - Link
"Among the wide ranks of modern presidential 'my frienders'—let us call them MF'ers for short—only Jimmy Carter and 'Silent Cal' Coolidge appear to have been determined to avoid the term. For Democrats and Republicans alike, it seems, a president who isn't a little bit of an MF'er is a once-in-a-century event." - George Kelly

"It offers the chance to live on the cheap and start a nonprofit organization, or rent an abandoned church for $1,000 a month, or finish your album without having to hold down two temp jobs at the same time, or simply have more space and a better view and enough money left over each month to buy yourself a painting once in awhile. A city like Buffalo reminds you that, beyond New York, there are still frontiers." - George Kelly

"In the world of political stagecraft, where songs are used as stimulants and signifiers, lyrics often don't matter, particularly if they fall outside of the chorus. (Very notable exception: Barack Obama's surprising use of Brooks and Dunn's country-rocker "Only in America" following last night's speech. "One kid dreams of fame and fortune/One kid helps pay the rent/One could end up going to prison/One just might be president.")" - George Kelly

Palin dissed veep job - Mike Allen - Politico.com
August 29 at 11:28 pm - Link
Palin replied: “As for that VP talk all the time, I’ll tell you, I still can’t answer that question until somebody answers for me what is it exactly that the VP does every day? I’m used to being very productive and working real hard in an administration. We want to make sure that that VP slot would be a fruitful type of position, especially for Alaskans and for the things that we’re trying to accomplish up here for the rest of the U.S., before I can even start addressing that question.” - Jason Shellen
Mike Allen knows that Palin did not say what a VP does is not important; he's merely giving Palin the MSNBC treatment. She simply said she wanted to know it was going to be important *before she agreed to run for VP*. Therein lies a not-so-subtle distinction that is completely lost over at Politico.com. - wyclif

getting very annoyed with blue state spin of Palin. I think it is clear what party is more progressive now and it isn't the one that hates America, wants to fail in Iraq and spits on soldiers. - Noah David Simon
It turns out that Sarah Palin is a Patrick Buchanan and Ron Paul supporter. Friendfeed search it. - Sean McBride
So you're saying she's a non-interventionist in terms of foreign policy? Against imperial adventurism? Again, feature-- not bug. Also Sean, there doesn't appear to be any evidence that she financially supported Buchanan [vis. Politico]. So I suppose it depends a lot on how you define "supporter." - wyclif
If she's non-interventionist, that's a plus in my book -- but it is going to create enormous consternation among neoconservatives in the Republican Party who assumed that John McCain was their boy. - Sean McBride
She shares Patrick Buchanan's ideological beliefs and agenda. Apparently she is not a neoconservative or Christian Zionist, or an Iraq War ringleader. Watch and see: McCain's neoconservative base will not be happy campers. They may even go ballistic once the facts begin to sink in. Has McCain begun to lose his mind? This choice is inconsistent with all his previous positions. - Sean McBride
Sean, I doubt McCain really cares what the neocons think. They've spent their capital. This is an outside move for McCain, which is exactly what he needed to do: grab the swing voters. - wyclif
wyclif - John McCain has been completely controlled by neocons until now; they are writing his script; his chief foreign policy adviser is Randy Scheunemann; William Kristol promoted Palin as a VP pick back in June; McCain seems to be itching for neocon wars against Iran and Russia. The neocons are still very much in play in American politics and in McCain's campaign -- after all, they own and dominate the mainstream media. Still, the Palin pick is mystifying, given her support for Buchanan and Ron Paul. I don't get it. - Sean McBride
Sean, there are a lot of independent voters (like me), who loathe the Neocons. But claiming that they "own" the mainstream media is absurd rubbish. MSNBC, anyone? And again, show me the proof that Palin *financially* supported Buchanan or Paul. Even Politico, your chosen source, admitted that she didn't, which kind of deflated their case re: "support." - wyclif
Neoconservatives DO in fact own and dominate a critical mass of the mainstream media: Rupert Murdoch, Mortimer Zuckerman, Donald Graham, Arthur Sulzberger Jr., Sumner Redstone and Sam Zell are a few of the key players who own Fox News, the Washington Post, the New York Times, the Wall Street Journal, CBS News, the Los Angeles Times, Newsweek, U.S. News & World Report, etc. The neoconservative mainstream media were key ringleaders of the Iraq War. - Sean McBride
wyclif -- one can support political candidates, express sympathy for their policy positions, without making financial contributions to their campaigns. You're playing word games now. - Sean McBride
Neocons & MSM: Arthur Sulzberger Jr. (Boston Globe, New York Times) | Bruce Kovner (New York Sun) | Cheryl Halpern (Corporation for Public Broadcasting) | Donald Graham (Newsweek, Washington Post) | Martin Peretz (New Republic) | Mortimer Zuckerman (Atlantic Monthly, New York Daily News, U.S. News & World Report) | Richard Mellon Scaife (Newsmax, Worldnetdaily) | Rupert Murdoch (Fox News, Myspace, New York Post, News Corp., Wall Street Journal, Weekly Standard) | Sam Zell (Chicago Tribune, Los Angeles Times) | Sumner Redstone (CBS News, Digg, MTV, Paramount Pictures, Viacom) - Sean McBride

Love that second comment! hilarious and true :) - melmcbride
i was wondering about that too. I mean, Michelle Obama had Stevie Wonder songs. - Anna Lynn M.
it was interesting becusae some pundit earlier tonight said country music is an important part of america too. - Ruth Ferguson
Hendrix or Prince would've been uniquely suited to the moment. I can see it just as it should have been, with Jimi's version of "The Star-Spangled Banner" or either "America" from Prince's "Around The World In A Day" or "Beautiful Night" from "Sign O' The Times." But country music was just as uniquely suited, odd as it might have sounded at first. It's his, it's mine and it's allay'alls: not just black music from the days of way-back, but there for us here-and-now. - George Kelly

"[...] This spring, [New Delhi] also installed cameras at 59 stops along its subway line. So far, concerns about privacy have been muted, likely because so much of the city remains outside of CCTV’s watchful eye – a far cry from London’s roughly 1,800 cameras, monitoring virtually every inch of public space. But there have been concerns about how surveillance footage will be used. The surveillance industry does not fall under any government legislation. [...]" - George Kelly

“I'm looking for recommendations for sci-fi fantasy titles (after avoiding them for years). Right now I'm looking for feminist fantasy/sci-fi and have come up with titles by Sarah Hall and Cheryl Bernard. Thanks in advance!”
August 25 at 8:14 pm - Link
I suggest Charles Stross's Merchant Princes series. It has multiple female characters who talk to each other about something other than a man. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/M... - Chuck LeDuc Díaz
Shadowmarch (Tad Williams) might be okay, or the Dragonriders of Pern (Anne MCaffrey), or Memory and Dream (Charles de Lint) (haven't read that one in ages) - sergiooo

Read any Joanna Russ? Her short story "When It Changed" is pretty boss. http://www.scifi.com/scifictio... Another good 'un: James Tiptree Jr.'s "The Women Men Don't See" http://www.scifi.com/scifictio... - George Kelly
I highly recommend "Portable Childhoods" by Helen Klages. One of the most satisfying short story collections I've ever read in recent memory. And an introduction by Neil Gaiman has to be good for something, right? - Barry Wynn
Mists of Avalon, Marion Zimmer Bradley - it isn't Sci-fi. Just fantasy. - Yolanda
It's been a long, long time for me as well... *ponder* All I can recall atm is Mercedes Lackey... and of course the classic Anne McCaffrey, who is one of the best female or male. - Michael W. May
My favorite sci-fi author Alan Dean Foster has a ton of good books - orionstarr
I don't know any good feminist fantasy/sci-fi authors, but my experience in recent years is that the best modern sci-fi comes from British authors. - RAPatton
My wife says that Octavia Butler is the go-to author. She recommends "Kindred" for the story, "Xenogenesis" series for the feminism. - Steve Lawson
Try Sherri Tepper - I haven't read her stuff in a while, but IIRC there are feminist themes. - ellbeecee
sergiooo, I've read Tad Williams' Otherworld series. It was good, but man, he needs to learn to tie up a story in less than 3000 pages. :D - Cecily Walker
Steve, thanks for the recommendation. I've read everything Butler wrote. - Cecily Walker
Thanks, Chuck. I'll add those to my rapidly growing list. - Cecily Walker
The "Fantastic Women" issue of Tin House is chock full of the stuff you crave. http://www.tinhouse.com/mag/is.... Copies are still available through the site. - Kyle Hebert
I don't know if the Graphic Novel series "Castle Waiting" would qualify, but it is fantasy written by a women with modern ideas - RAPatton
Elizabeth Bear. - Nine - Like the number
Ha! Butler did seem like an obvious recommendation, but since you didn't mention her, I thought I should. - Steve Lawson
If we're talking graphic novels, then give "Transmetropolitan, by Warren Ellis a look. Also in books, I really like William Gibson. I've read 3 of the "cyberpunk" novels, "Burning Chrome", a short story collection, and "Pattern Recognition (where I'd recommend you start). "Spook Country" is on deck. - Barry Wynn
Barry, I lost my faith in Gibson after Spook Country. Don't even get me started. And as for Neil Gaiman, I want to have eleventy billion of his babies, that's how much I lurve him. - Cecily Walker
These are all great suggestions, everyone - my library list is getting a mile long! - Cecily Walker
I mentioned this on another Sci-Fi thread but have you read Mosley's Futureland? Short story collection. Not necessarily feminist focused (although he doesn't shy away from strong/robust female characters) but definitely an interesting read. - Jason Toney
I hadn't heard of it Jason - thanks! *adds to list* - Cecily Walker
Marge Piercy, Woman on the Edge of Time... anything by Ursula LeGuinn (sp?), such as Lathe of Heaven... I am partial to Doris Lessing's Shikasta series too. - Christian Crumlish
Doris Lessing. She has a truly unique voice and she won the Nobel last year (though not for her SF). Her "Canopus in Argos" series was critically well received, although to me her writing bears the indelible taint of the 70s. - Chuck LeDuc Díaz
Cecily, re: "Spook Country"... *le sigh*... well I'mma read it anyway. Re: Ellis, Transmet is not a "feminist" book, but Ellis writes really strong female characters. and he's a hoot. - Barry Wynn
I second the James Tiptree, Jr. nomination. The amazing female characterizations were more easily explained when I found out she wasn't really a dude. Most of her fiction is YA-oriented. - Chuck LeDuc Díaz
Cecily, what were your problems with Spook Country? - Kyle Hebert
Kyle, I think my biggest problem is it was set up to be this great world-changing mystery and it ended up being about... well, if you've read it, you know how it ended. I just felt cheated. I've liked many of Gibson's other works, but this was the first one that I was disappointed in. - Cecily Walker
Not necessarily feminist, but John Scalzi has positive portrayals of strong women in his Old Man's War world of books: Old Man's War, The Ghost Brigades, The Lost Colony, and Zoe's Tale came out last week. - Katie
Okay, this might be pushing you too far but... Alan Moore and J.H. Williams' "Promethea". Some people absolutely hate it, but it spends a lotta time exploring the role of women in the cultural and spiritual imaginations. - Roger Benningfield
I like the ending quite a bit actually. And I didn't see it as a world-changing mystery, but a mystery that explains how the world has changed. - Kyle Hebert
Gibson's plots have been slowly moving backward in time from the distant future (+70 yrs) to the present. I like his quote "the future is here, it's just not evenly distributed." - Chuck LeDuc Díaz
I'll also recommend Walter Jon Williams, particularly "Metropolitan" & "City on Fire" with a strong female protagonist. I like his other books too. - Chuck LeDuc Díaz
Roger, I think "Promethea" is an excellent suggestion. - Barry Wynn

Very nice Shey. If only everyone was as even keeled as you around difference and diversity of opinion.

I like your posts about social stuff - you're very attuned to other people. - melmcbride
Thanks Mel, like you I find the social phenomena of this space, fascinating. I really liked this comment by you: "Well, Freud argued that the one type of pathology that was totally untreatable was narcissism. The narcissist's ego is so powerful they are incapable of admitting fault or need for growth." This is a huge danger, IMO. - Shey
Great post shey. It saddens me to think that as sites like FriendFeed become more popular the kind of gravitation towards one's "birds of a feather" will increase - on the other hand these tools allow us to identify and interact with individuals who place a premium on the same things we do (music, books, hobbies) which allows us to make those things a focal point while not completely eclipsing our ability to share our diverse thoughts in other areas as well. - Marco (aureliusmaximus)

Good post. I think part of the problem is a lot of people just seek to avoid confrontations and arguments, so they'd rather not see someone who disagrees with them. Personally I like to argue, so I don't have that problem ;) - Jason Carreira
I agree with Lindsey - my primary criteria is "interesting". Rarely does that mean "agrees with", because if all someone does is re-affirm my own point of view and tell me things I already knew... they're boring. I like to be challenged, and even if all I do is argue, then at least it forces me to defend my own ideas. - Eric
