All that and more, in 2008. It's hard to predict which posts will trigger the better flame wars - even though the list of "hot subjects" is predictable. Once in awhile there are some surprize subjects, e.g., Schiavo and Miers of recent. The Grey Davis ouster and naming of a GOP candidate was another.
Good blast from the past, that thread you linked. Thanks - I got a kick out of it - don't recall seeing it before, but have heard references to JR's past "anti-Bush" sentiment (and I recall seeing him "take it back" later, too).
