all in your head

Yeah, after 17 years of liberal media whining, some self-serving callous bureaucrats have decided to take that pansy-ass invention, 'Gulf War Syndrome,' and label it a "real" "illness." Pussies. Go take another bullet for your country!

encroaching on our right to idiocy

It's not enough that an 8-year-old shot killed himself by losing control of an Uzi at a gun show in Massachusetts (those liberal scum!), but you rednecks watch out: them minors know what's up, and they're coming to get you, even if you live in a red state! Mwuahahaha

can I bum a fag?

Sometimes people can actually do surprising things.

But the advice remains that you can never really trust a metals trader! :oP

welcome to the machine!

Partly amusing, partly sad commentary on modern life. We're all become technological 'yes' men (or women, or bi-sexual, trans-gendered, hedonistic squirrel-worshippers).

it finally happened

A major mainstream news organization published an article promoting further research into your mom! Stunning!

low-hanging fruit

I be there are a heck of a lot of 'low-hanging fruit' that the government regulators can harvest nowadays!

the sound of breaking glass

OK, so in some ways the British are not nearly as sophisticated as Americans tend to give them credit. Foreign donation scandals by, essentially, frat buddies who enjoy getting so pissed they're randomly violent? Stiff upper lip indeed - it's swollen after you punched me, my good man! lol

However, in other ways, especially in matters of public debate yes, yes they are. Could you ever imagine that bus ad in the US? Heck, Top Gear simply said "NASCAR sucks!" and they were nearly lynched in the South. Fox News, fair and balanced as it is, would never air a "god" vs. "no-god" debate. So much for presenting two sides of an issue.

whither US innovation?

This is the kind of stuff University research would find hordes of undergrads to help study! Why aren't they?

always de-regulation. always.

That's what Republicans stand for. I am surprised, though, that the multi-billion-dollar entertainment industry wasn't able to get their way on this intellectual property initiative ... must be because they're all pinko commie liberals.

it takes a dunce

to deduce she's fit to be vice-commander in chief:

too short

Not the rapper, but this list full of epic Bush fail.

As I've stated before, I disagree with nearly every major decision made / legislation coercively passed by the administration.

America's top export: hypocrisy

This is stunning in its blatancy.

One result of this standoff is that the United States, despite being one of the primary authors of the U.N.'s Convention on the Rights of Children, which specifies that governments must take appropriate measures to protect children from "all forms of physical or mental violence, injury or abuse, neglect or negligent treatment, maltreatment or exploitation," is one of only two nations that have not ratified it. The other is Somalia; 192 nations have ratified it.

Land of the free (to beat your children). I guess us rednecks worry that wife-beating will be outlawed next. If I don't resort to five across the eyes, I don't know how I'd ever convince that fat slut to crap out six more kids. Now, if I hit her too hard and break her three remaining teeth, so she can barely eat for a week, I might get some capital punishment up in harr, and that's no fun.

Go (black and) Blue!

According to my colleague Liz Gershoff of the University of Michigan, a leading expert on corporal punishment of children, the main arguments that have so far prevented us from ratifying it include the ones you would expect—it would undermine American parents' authority as well as U.S. sovereignty—plus a couple of others that you might not have expected: It would not allow 17-year-olds to enlist in the armed forces, and (although the Supreme Court's decision in Roper v. Simmons has made this one moot, at least for now) it would not allow executions of people who committed capital crimes when they were under 18.

All that fancy Ivory talk, bitch, will get the back of your head pulverized by a well-aimed donkey punch. Now stop jawing with that ugly ol' gap-toothed mug of yours and start working them gums on this here "rod."

WARNING: aneurysm-inducing idiocy

Governor Granholm has Canada on the border, and she was even born there - in a foreign country(!) - QED!

You can tell she wishes she'd paid attention to those trade missions instead of who was tasering her extended family, lol.

give that man a Nobel!

Well, if you take a large enough sample, someone's bound to be right, but still, impressive! Especially considering that it took until the latter half of the 20th century for our government to acknowledge that smoking leads to health problems. Ducking fuh.

still a dangerous precedent

Allowing nuclear-armed India to avoid the non-proliferation treaty. I can't say I see how voting the measure down will drive the Indians to ally themselves with Iran - this is the same style of broad, culturally-blind assumptions that have re-created a Vietnam-style quagmire in Iraq.

this just goes to show...

... that you can teach an old, forgetful dog new tricks! Haha, like that? I thought so ... :oP

Sarah Palin + FOX News = Infomercial

funny, I do the same thing when she speaks:



As a giant piece of lying political slime, Blair is STILL more honest and open about the difficulties of the "War on Terror" than just about any US politician. Shameful.

only a fool would revel in Lehman's failure

Count me among those fools!

If you want to have a free market, you have to have consequences to risk as an appropriate deterrent against future malfeasance. God knows you can't trust Bush's slash & burn policy to regulatory oversight, and the worst thing would be to let banks believe any of them are immune. Watch AIG and WaMu for signs of imminent failure (though I really can't understand how AIG could be SO leveraged that its physical assets' value would be outweighed by the positions of just one of its many divisions). Anyway, I haven't been following AIG closely though, so maybe the market is right in its heavy devaluation of the firm. It went from $40/share to around $20/share between May - Sep, and now it's trading at the sub-$4/share level. That's a tad extreme.

The Value of the "Liberal" Media 2

I'll put the headline here just for effect:

Pakistan order to kill US invaders
Key corps commanders of Pakistan's 600,000-strong army issued orders last night to retaliate against "invading" US forces that enter the country to attack militant targets

Well, it's Australian, but it manages to get the information out to a wider audience. With allies like these, who needs are enemies?

The Bible is my Anti-Spore!

Oh for God's sake ... I knew this was coming.

I especially like this attempt at an argument. Stunning. Just because you believe strongly in creationism doesn't mean you *must* defy logic.

But because Will Wright has brainwashed Frank Drake into thinking that life in the universe gave rise to “super humans” on other planets that are better than us. God would never create something better than himself, it is not possible as God is perfect in every way. And once again, I reiterate that man was created in His image.

For starters, equating humans to God is heresy, though through the creator's (of the blog, not "the Creator") tenuous grasp of logic, I don't think he fully understands what he implies. Saying man was created in God's "image" does NOT mean that we are perfect and/or like God in every way. Why? If we were perfect, we'd be God (which we cannot be). So obviously we were made in His image, but not 100% - which leaves room for improvement! With all the sin and strife, I really cannot believe someone thinks that we could not be "improved" upon in some way, such as, perhaps, a higher standard of morals or a stronger conscience.

And just because Dr. Drake has a fantastical vision of "super" sapiens that doesn't conform to someone's creationist ideas does not mean he is challenging God or has somehow been "brainwashed" by ... a game designer? Come on! Drake is an astrophysicist for Christ's sake - he's smarter than that! lol

And for that matter, so are Jesus and God. Actually, I think Armageddon will be retribution upon the truly ignorant, such as those people who claim to be avowed followers of Jesus the Christ, yet who insist upon literal interpretations of the Bible. Have you read the New Testament? IT'S ALMOST ALL METAPHOR! YOUR "SAVIOR" WAS A LIBERAL INTELLECTUAL! lmfao You can read parables about the sower and the seed, the candle under the wicker basket, etc., yet you can't comprehend that God may not have created the Earth in 7 24-hour days? Believing in God or Jesus the Christ does not give one leave to abandon logic.
