Toles on Negotiation

Has there ever in all of time been a negotiation where one side said: “we will not compromise one single tiny bit on any thing whatsoever, even reasonable things, and if you do not yield on all points, completely and massively, we will take an action that we know will hurt everyone, including all innocent bystanders.” One, anyway, that was reported in newspapers as being a “negotiation?” I think tornados negotiate like that.

Zogby-like shenanigans in the news

NS: Thank you, have a good day.
JZ: Go fuck yourself.

My friends, I'm a "jackass."

This was the first time these presidential debates have touched Roe versus Wade. For a moment it seemed McCain would advance a centrist (if not entirely plausible) position, begging off the idea of a litmus test for Supreme Court judges. And then with a grimace and an eye roll he mocked the idea of granting women abortion exceptions for the health of the mother. "Health" he sneered, derisively, and made little air quotes with his fingers. And with that, he lost all those centrist, mildly, or avowedly, pro-choice women in America who, yes, care about the health of the mother.
