111 unioins exempt from 'Obamacare'

The fact that GT is already a de facto politics forum - American politics, let's be clear about that - and has been for a number of years kind of makes any editorial intent redundant at best. Neal Stevens may own the site, and he might have any number of visions he wants for Subsim, but the unspoken truth is that it's Steamwake, The Third Man, Bubblehead1980, etc. who effectively dictate the tone and content of the board. No single poster approaches the volume of, say, Subman1, a fantastically knuckleheaded poster, now departed, whose entire contribution to this place was over 10,000 bulletins of the standard Subsim reactionary script ("Dems...drinking the Kool-Aid...anchor babies") and who basically functioned as a sort of one-man RSS feed for the latest in crazy right-wing spam. Even so, the depressing regularity (up to 15 topics on page one alone some days) and ultra-partisan nature of these posts is enough to persuade many non-US members that GT, despite all hopes of the ineffectual Management, is more or less an unofficial affiliate of sites like freerepublic.com, handling the particularly monotonous overspill.

Exactly how diuretic have Americans become about politics? Well, how about this:

A forum (which I, uh, found while researching a doctorate paper on chronic masturbation) that while dedicated to detailing every permutation of grot conceivable - enough to keep any pervert entertained until soft-headedness, wankers paradise essentially - still manages to attract Americans who would prefer to repeat the cloned ravings and reactionary sludge that country produces as an everyday byproduct.

Seriously, just how humourless and pathologically self-absorbed a people have you become? And why do you think the rest of the English-speaking world might be interested in your frankly insane political chest-thumping? Which it isn't, except as a freakshow spectacle of a nation digesting itself.

And while we're at it, let's have a separate sub-forum for all those tedious farts who post "grabs popcorn" after each latest piece of US political spam. How about grabbing a slice of smart-ass pie, smug-a-tron.
