Tyrannical on 20 December 2008
It's funny that last Christmas the blu-ray/HD-DVD format war wasn't over. This is the first Christmas of only blu-ray and the first year the players are significantly cheaper then a PS3.
I think MS propped up HD-DVD just long enough.
Yet, today, America's leaders are reenacting every folly that brought these great powers [Russia, Germany, and Japan] to ruin -- from arrogance and hubris, to assertions of global hegemony, to imperial overstretch, to trumpeting new 'crusades,' to handing out war guarantees to regions and countries where Americans have never fought before. We are piling up the kind of commitments that produced the greatest disasters of the twentieth century.
— Pat Buchanan – A Republic, Not an Empire
