Oh, and I also think the entire Burial album would be a great one. I have yet to do that. :) - Melissa
I'm liking the way you think, Melissa... Pagan Poetry would be one awesome song to make out to and more :-) - Tracy Ruggles

"I like it" by Moby or "I lay down" by Zucchero ft. John Lee Hooker....works every time ;) - Tamara J.
Ooh, the Burial album. Why didn't I think of that? - Derrick

Yes! Vespertine is TEH soundtrack to an awesome hour of one's intimate life with another ;-) - Tracy Ruggles
Dude, this was rickrolled JEREMY - anna awesomesauce
depends what the make-out leads to. If it's just makin' out then some Damien Rice (Cannonball) Bon Iver (Re: Stacks) or Josh Rouse (Under Cold Blue Stars), but if you're heading through makeoutsville on your way to some place grander then I'd recommend Pulse by Ani DiFranco or Running Up That Hill Mashup (Placebo, Pet Shop Boys, and Kate Bush), or Lust by The Raveonettes. And of course Sade is always a good standby. - Andrew Kippen
Copacabana, IIRC what "make-out" means - Glen Campbell

http://www.johnmccain.com/Issu... - Michael Tefft
Thanks, Michael... I just read the part on "Ethics Reform" but it still doesn't give me any information about what he plans to do... Some info about what he has done in the past, but nothing concrete other than he'll use his veto pen (which may or may not be effective if it's not line-item veto). If he said he'd try to ban lobbyists or earmarks completely that might be worth something... but I'm not convinced by the rhetoric that that's the case. - Lindsay Donaghe
@J.Phil - no, I don't ever take politicians at their word. Their word is as fickle as opinion polls. Worth less than a mortgage security at this point. - Lindsay Donaghe
Maybe it's just me but McCain seems to have a resume-approach. He shows us his resume so that we see what he's done in the past which should prove that he has the capability to do the job we're asking him to do. I hate to tell him but this is not an interview for a position at Microsoft. - Akiva Moskovitz
I can answer that question easily. . . . our next door neighbors are foreign countries. They're in the state she is the executive of. And there in Russia they have trade missions back and forth. We-- we do-- it's very important when you consider even national security issues with Russia as Putin rears his head and comes into the air space of the United States of America, where-- where do they go? It's Alaska. It's just right over the border. <insert wink> - Peter Ghosh CISSP
The mavericks plan: #1) Ride into Washington, #2) Do maverick stuff, #3) Save the day - Mike Reynolds
Mike, you forgot a step - cut out the earmarks and the pork barrel spendin'. Thanks but no thanks! - Alexander Carlill
Get to Washington, Look at the notes Bush left behind, say, "this will work!" and continue with another four years of Bush - Mathew Ballard
Basically, he wants to abolish earmarks. And, um, be mavericky. - Eric P
@Eric - I've heard him say he doesn't like earmarks and that earmarks are bad and that earmarks are what's wrong with our system but I haven't heard him actually say he would GET RID of earmarks... Can someone point me to a quote? - Lindsay Donaghe
just like with lobbyists, i think people who want to do away with earmarks, have no idea how gov't works. without lobbyists, we'd not have a lot of our protections. without earmarks, our infrastructure and local governments wouldn't be able to get things done. - Anika Malone
@Anika - why can't the things that lobbyists lobby be put into their own bill? Can you give an example of the protections that were provided via earmarks that we wouldn't have had otherwise? - Lindsay Donaghe
Even if he "got rid" of earmarks, it would make little difference to the overall federal budget. It's a tiny portion. - Jason Wehmhoener
@Jason - I think it made a big difference ($140 Billion) in the bailout bill. $700B was hard enough to swallow, but the extra moves it to the next level. - Lindsay Donaghe
Agreed. Every member of congress should be ashamed of themselves for adding all of that crazy pork to the bill (archery, rum, etc). Hopefully, many of these jerks are up for reelection next month and will get voted out. - Peter Ghosh CISSP
Lindsay, I think McCain's talking about this plan: http://youtube.com/?v=-N8_u1FL... - Raoul Pop
what i was saying was that some of the stuff lobbyists lobby on behalf of us gives us protections (clean water, monies for special needs children, education, etc). earmarks help with our infrastructure (roads, waterways, trash, land use) and also in how much your state can help keep itself clean and educate our children. not all earmarks are bad, not all lobbyists work on behalf of multinationals and corporations. - Anika Malone
and the things lobbyists work on do get put into their own bills, that's why bills are named certain things like the 'save dolphins from infrared laser beams act' (i made that up). - Anika Malone
Ok, that makes sense, Anika, but do you think that those things couldn't stand as bills on their own? Is there some reason why it's necessary for them to be done as add-ons for other bills, often completely unrelated to the main purpose of the bill? - Lindsay Donaghe
I think that the large portion of the $140 billion was the addition of additional coverage for banks up to 250k per individual, no? Typically earmarks only account for about 8 billion of the budget and not all of them are pork. - Alex Scoble CISSP
Lindsay, there are items that may stand up as their own bill but don't get passed for political reasons rather than budgetary... - Stupid Blogger (aka Tina)
Lobbying still doesn't make sense to me though. It seems as if an item is important enough to need funding it should be in it's own bill. And if it's an item that's related to the original bill then it should just be included as part of the bill. I think the system allows too many loopholes otherwise. It seems very ripe for abuse. - Lindsay Donaghe
@Tina - isn't it all for political reasons either way? - Lindsay Donaghe
I am hoping at the very least that this gets more people not only to the voting booth, but more engaged in general as to what is going on around them. With the internets, it's very easy to see what your local reps are doing, and to also [literally] call them on it. - Peter Ghosh CISSP
FYI, for those of you who are interested in the details of Obama's plans, they're on page 5 of his "Blueprint for Change" document. Most of it is increased transparency by posting all the details of lobbyists, contractors, etc., online, including posting all "non-emergency" (there's a loophole for you) legislation for 5 days on the Whitehouse website for public comment. All in all, very reasonable stuff. - Glen Campbell
BTW, I'm still looking for a single document from McCain that outlines his platform; if you find that, please let me know. It's a real pain to have to troll through dozens of pages on a website to do a detailed analysis. - Glen Campbell
the point of lobbying is to bring it to the attention of the legislature. example: my friend's kid is autistic. in IL, where she lives, there's no funding for education for him. she had to drive a few hundred miles to get him into a school or pay for a tutor to come to her. there are other parents of autistic children in their area, so they banded together and worked out a proposal. they appointed a spokesperson who registered as a lobbyist to appeal to the state legislature. - Anika Malone
this also enabled them to speak to durbin and obama. both of whom were unaware of this pocket of IL that lacked educational services. now, 2 years later, the kids have a school in the area with teachers skilled with working with autistic children in their spectrum. lobbying has enabled them to also have transportation and medical staff onsite. - Anika Malone
There's this keatingeconomics.com thing I heard about today... :) - Steve Lynch via twhirl
