May 3, 2011: White House situation room during bin Laden raid - Page 3

This live-feed business really forces leaders to confront the reality of what they've ordered. It seems like a good trend.

Take it further. Once a day, maybe while he is exercising, the prez watches a headcam feed from some randomly chosen grunt. Might be in a firefight in Fubaristan, might be standing sentry duty on a road block on a god-awful hot day outside Kabul.
"What's that?! ... okay, regular car ... What's that? ... supply truck, let it through ... "
Just to keep him in touch.

Not a bad idea. Fubaristan is a suck-ass assignment btw.

Good idea, he could use the same system to get a glimpse into the lives of some of America's "rich" small business owners.

I read a statement from that paper to the effect that they don't show pictures of women because viewers will be distracted by their beauty and this detracts from our respect for their abilities and talents and makes us regard them as bimbos.

I gotta tell those guys, whatever else you may say about her, Hillary did not get where she is on account of her looks.

Oh I dunno.

ZenGum · 05-14-2011, 08:15 PM

Not bad, I must admit, but I doubt either of us were born then.

The paper in question from post #31 publishes pictures of these women. How is that the modesty of these women is not worthy of the same respect?

eta: further exploration of the photos from their site revealed numerous pictures of women, some dressed similarly to the ones shopped out of the WH photo. Some are mentioned by name, some are even shown with the President. I think the excuse about the modesty of women is bullshit. It is categorically false that they do not publish pictures of women.

For some reason this story really pisses me off.

That's very funny.
I thought about something like that.
Attributed to a feminist type site/mag/paper, but I was too lazy to do it.

infinite monkey · 05-16-2011, 09:43 AM
