how culd U americans vote for him ?
Really? This is the comment we get from yet another holier-than-thou country that insists they’re not only the most intelligent, but the most evolved?
Yeah. Might want to take some English classes.
No, seriously, I can understand the first time, just barely. But not the second time. I’m not trying to be condescending, I’m genuinely baffled.
He wasn’t THAT bad the first time…If presidents could run 3 times, I’m pretty sure we wouldn’t pick him again!
Yep, also people like to believe its just the president. Think about it though its the whole government, and theres nothing we can do but suck it up. I know I am 1 in a million but I liked bush. Obama is scaring me right now. Us Americans are always fickle. We chose bush because we knew he wasn’t going to pull what clinton did. Now we are looking at Obama the same way like, fix it fix it.
yeah, he got blamed for a lot of crap that wasn’t his fault. Katrina for example-the LA governor refused the federal aid.
Cite it or own it.
Reorganizing FEMA in to Homeland Security resulted in decreasing
their budget, decreasing their efficiency, and especially decreasing the local control–and the locals are the ones who know what sort of disasters are likely, and how best to prepare. Pre-HS, FEMA had focused very well on local response.
(Link above to USA today article from 2005.)
Excellent article, Dear. Thanks!
Oh good God please. Yes, the mayor screwed up, but the mayor didn’t have access to ANYTHING that could have helped ANYTHING. The governor screwed up, but she didn’t have access to ANYTHING that could have helped ANYTHING. The only people with access to anything that could have helped were either flying back from a birthday party in Arizona, sitting in a studio denying there was anyone holed up at the Civic Center, or worrying about whether they were going to get a nice meal and a decent haircut before they decided to finally go to Louisiana and see if anything was y’know, wrong. It was ALL Bush. All of it. Right down to the stupid f*cking photo op with National Guardsmen and helicopters that made all of us who are sane wonder, “why the hell aren’t those Guardsmen and helicopters out there saving people’s asses from DYING?”
Still, there’s nothing about Kathleen Blanco refusing
assistance from FEMA… Something tells me we will be
waiting a while on that cite.
In the meantime:
[LINK] Brownie’s hard-core, serious attitude
I’m still amazed that no one in the Bush administration saw the golden opportunity to lock up the African American vote by helicoptering into the Superdome to hand out bottles of water. Sure, it would have been pure, hardcore pandering, but geez,
if the GOP is serious *ahem* about attracting anyone with more melamine, why didn’t they do this?
Of course, I am asking a stupid question and will shut up now.
Money. The people in the superbowl had none… and it was beyond the organisational capabilities of FEMA, who were hamstrung by that Polo playing idiot friend of your stumbling, demented, child-king…
Well, I guess the time I spent down there three weeks after Katrina went through is for naught then? Okay, I’ll tell that to my knee – the one I injured down there- whenever it starts to sing at changes in the weather that I didn’t help anyone.
Shove Bush up your ass.
I didn’t know you did that, LG, but it doesn’t
surprise me (the helpfulness, not the knee).
*bear hugs*
I’m proud of you!
*Hugs back* Thanks, Rho. Coming from you, that means something!
But I do not want him there….
What about this? [link]
Sorry! I should have warned you! I’ve not been subbing the last few weeks and have been posting from home, so I forgot to be sensitive to my office drone friends. I will, of course, attend the inevitable sexual harassment seminar in you place.
Good thing I have an office & not a cube…no problem. I’ll just add it to the list of “Things Dissimilitude Does Not Want Up Her Ass”.
(OK guys, be honest, how many of you just tried to sneak a peek hoping you weren’t on that list……)
I checked. I’m not on the list. Although I don’t have any nefarious plans to screw Diss or Jane in a very uncomfortable place. (no, not the back of a Volkswagen)
Mallrats win!
I love the smell of commerce in the morning!
“Bush spent more money on Africa than any president in history.”
He also completely defunded any program that distributed condoms and those that event so much as told anyone that a condom might be a good idea if you’re going to have sex with anyone in a country where a giant percentage of the populace has AIDS.

You meant “melanin”, I am sure, cause “melamine” ain’t so
good for the skin
-
Melamine:
Melamine is an organic compound that is often combined with formaldehyde to produce melamine resin, a synthetic polymer which is fire resistant and heat tolerant. Melamine resin is a very versatile material with a highly stable structure. Uses for melamine include whiteboards, floor tiles, kitchenware, fire retardant fabrics, and commercial filters. Melamine can be easily molded while warm, but will set into a fixed form. This property makes it ideally suited to certain industrial applications.
Melamine resin is manufactured by mixing urea with formaldehyde under heat and pressure. The substances begin to polymerize and are forced into a mold which will create the desired shape. Under pressure, melamine releases water, which could make the plastic unstable if it is not removed. The materials finish polymerizing and create a finished product, melamine resin.

Forge: “Yes, the mayor screwed up, but the mayor didn’t have access to ANYTHING that could have helped ANYTHING.”
Yeah, except for that parking lot full of buses that could have been used to evacuate people who couldn’t get out on their own.
IIRC, they couldn’t find drivers for those. Is your
memory better on what happened there?
question: what’s hard about driving a bus?
Well, I think you DO need special training. However, if you knew people we’re in such trouble and trapped I’d say drastic times call for drastic measures.
PK ate my post with a link, but if you google
“katrina buses,” the third hit down* is an
excellent article about what happened, and
how very messed up the whole thing was.
* “ISS: More Details Revealed in Katrina
Bus Evacuation Scandal”
PK ate MY post with a link too, but google”storm victims steal school buses” and it’s the one from the Orlando paper I think. Some enterprising 18 year old who had never driven a bus before just jumped in and started driving. *We don’t need no stinkin’ bus driving lessons!*
Only if you’re doing a bus route. Problem with a lot of Americans, you give them a gear lever (stick shift) and their brain runs out their nose…
Agreed 100%. I hate automatic transmissions for that very reason.
They allow people who shouldn’t be driving the ability and opportunity to do so.
Annoying, that.
*blushes* Yeah… I don’t know how to drive a stick.
But you yield the troll one with a might vengeance, Jane!
*sigh* The stick-driving jokes you just let yourself in for, Jane…
Honestly, you work with adolescents and you left that opening?
I saw the door swing wide, but I decided to take the high road ’cause I like Jane heaps!
Well, there’s really nothing wrong with driving an automatic.
Do you still start your car with the crank in the front, or does yours come with a electric starter?
I know lots of people who still drive std trans. I don’t own one, but I still drive them from time to time.
@ACSIS: Of course that brings up one advantage of standard transmissions – when that electric starter craps out on you, you can roll/push the car to start it. I know how to drive one myself, but I don’t think I’ve actually had one in years.
Well, in my own defense I only worked with adolescents the one time, honest! How about this:
*flutters eyelashes*
Will one of you big strong men show little ‘ol me how to drive a stick?
Jane keep in mind I like you a bunch, but you just keep opening the door wider and wider…
*self-control crumbles*
You can drive my stick any time you like Jane. I’m sure you will get the thrust of it.
*admonishes self*
*gets out her conquest book, adds Steve’s name to the list*
Yup, got me another one. (It’s really Max’s own damn fault for leaving me on my own for so long)
Conquest? Yeah, that’s about as much of a challenge as conquering France.
History fail. The French have won more wars than they’ve they’ve lost …
It’s a figure of speech, obviously. Why would we want to conquer the French anyway? We already have French Fries and French Bread! (har har)
-
Although I still don’t agree. Most, if not all of the conflicts the French have won have been with the aid of allies. If the US really wanted to conquer the French, we wouldn’t have any trouble. Of course they can go get their Dad or their Big Brother to beat us up, but in a 1 vs. 1 conflict, the French wouldn’t stand a prayer.
That’s what they said about Iraq…
Hahah…well again, we’re attempting to be diplomatic about it, not trying to conquer Iraq. The fact that we aren’t an evil dictatorship bent on world domination really curbs our ability to win. Little things like killing civilians and burning villages to the ground aren’t practices we can employ, but are they are very effective.
When are those Iraqis going to start
welcoming us as liberators? It was in the
script, dammit…
As for the French, we probably wouldn’t want
to do too much in the way of pillaging and
plundering. Those guys tend to look down
on that sort of thing. Oh, yeah, there’s that
“ally” business, too.
@UF – check out the story of the enterprising 18 year old who just jumped in a bus and drove the frickin’ thing (link). *We don’t need no stinkin’ bus driver training*
As I said above, you generally only need proper training if you’re going to be catrrying paying passengers around town, I don’t think you really need them to get people out of the jaws of a water hell…
Having said that, reversing something that long can be tricky…
Refueling and traffic were issues, as well.
If something had happened, the driver woulda got their ass sued completely into oblivion. No sane person’s going to do that in this day and age.
[LINK] Article about Katrina bus scandal.
From other reading:
Evidently, assuming all 200 buses in the famous
photograph were in working order, 13,000 people
could have been evacuated, but there was no
place for them to go, no way to guarantee that
they wouldn’t get stuck in traffic, and hit by the
storm, anyway.
There were doubts that such a large expenditure
would be well met, if Katrina had changed course.
By the time the storm’s path was known to a close
enough degree of certainty, it was too late.
Hindsight is 20/20, but the image of 200 parked,
flooded buses is hard to shake away.
You do know it just ain’t that fricking easy, right?
Yeah, but HE could’ve done something about it. There are other states to help too. Man, what an ass.
I have a low opinion of america, but GO OBAMA!!
as for “How could you folks elect him a second time”… Our choices were bad and bad. Second Time around Kerry was the Dems answer to “Nobody would elect Bush again” so they grabbed the most “loony left” guy they could. They didn’t factor in that people would see it as “Danged if you do, danged if you don’t” and vote for the lesser of two evils. Kerry you didn’t know where he stood. When asked a question twice, he’d give you three different answers and all of them would contradict the others.
As for Obama… Yeah I’m worried about him to… His first choice on his bit “We are going to change things” was to pick a 36 year incumbent. Nothing says change more than keepin’ them the same. It seems to me he’s a puppet… and that is what scares me.
Kerry is ‘loonie left’? Not hardly. Kucinich is far to his left, and he’s not loonie left either. Try maybe Bernie Sanders, the socialist senator from Vermont. Kerry is pretty middle of the road, relatively speaking.
“Loonie left” wouldn’t eat meat, wouldn’t drive a car unless it runs on veggie oil, wouldn’t get married (the whole ‘obey’ thing), and wouldn’t wear leather or clothing made in factories located in 3rd-world countries. Kerry is a wealthy member of the authority-wielding class. I should know, living in Massachusetts. Try again. Or get a dictionary.
Is “loonie left” in the dictionary?
It is on ‘the left bank’, of the Charles River…aka Cambridge, MA!
you like dumb ass wars on 15 year old intel? That’s so cute…

And what did Clinton do? I don’t recall him starting any wars over falsified intelligence, and I do recall him balancing the budget…

You’re crazy.
You’re the one that likes John Goodman more than Jessica Alba.
I’m just sayin’.
Just remember, on a person the size of Goodman, everywhere you touch feels like tittie
-
Now Ward, I think you’re being a bit hard on The Steve.
Aha – name submission!
leaveittostever
Actually, froofrou you make a good point, Goodman probably has a bigger rack than Alba.
Goodman has several racks bigger than
Alba’s measly pair. Oh, sure, he probably
has a little more hair than she, but that’s
getting picky, isn’t it?
Yes, yes he was THAT bad the first time. Choosing George Bush over Al Gore is like picking John Goodman over Jessica Alba. As a sex partner. Or for that matter to take to an expensive restaurant.
Lots to grab on John-boy…
So if I prefer John Goodman over Jessica Alba as a sex partner or
as a dinner companion, I’m wrong?
Gee, PK’s tough!
(I did, however, vote for Al Gore.)
I’m not feeling either of them as a potential paramour, however I imagine John could recommend GREAT places to eat.
*also voted for Gore*
and @ jane
picky-picky-picky… they’re both rich!
Well, that is a fair point.
Yes Rho. You are wrong. You and Jessica Alba would make a lovely couple.

She really has decided cucumbers are better than men, that’s all.
No, I loves the mens! Cucumbers don’t have
opposable thumbs, and *never* call…
Cucumbers lack a tongue too…
Just saying
And batteries. Wait, what are we talking about again?
Men come with batteries???
@rho: Only the really old ones that have pacemakers and hearing aids.
Men? Hell. I thought we were talking about vibrators. Damn.
LOL–Well, call me a pragmatist, but I don’t see it. I hardly
have enough closet space for myself, you know. That
woman looks like she would have a lot of shoes…
Hey, wait: If she and I are the same size, that could work
out as a positive, eh?
Still, John looks sweeter and cuddlier…
*contemplates*
Shoes? She owns no shoes. Only swimwear. Ill-fitting swimwear.
snerk.
Hah…ill-fitting? More like perfectly fitted…
And she does have some nice shoes Rho, check these out! [Link]
Couldn’t see the link, but, in fairness, John
Goodman may have some good shoes, too.
The idea of John Goodman in three inch heels is… interesting.
I wouldn’t say ‘nice’… but definitely ‘interesting’…
They show off his meaty calves.
….and I’m still just wondering, having looked at the website, who the hell sits around wondering and investigating what shoe size celebrities wear?
Oh, I was disputing the “ill-fitting swimwear” comment by Forge, I didn’t feel the need to back that up with photographic evidence, there’s plenty available.
Rho was interested in her shoe collection, so the image was for her benefit.
I could have worded my response more clearly.
Oh, I got that, it’s just that the Celebrity Shoe Size website exists that completely amazes me.
Hahaha. I didn’t even notice the site, I just snatched the first picture that came up on Google Images. That IS amazing…who has time to inventory celebrity shoe sizes?!?
Bush was rated as the most unpopular american president through.
I mean, even Nixon was more popular. He wouldn’t be president a 3rd time,
I really think americans are smarter than that.
@Czernobog – I’m with you. I didn’t vote for Bush the first time because he came off as a dumb frat boy who got where he was because of his daddy’s influence and daddy rescuing him over and over. He seemed marginally competent after 9/11 but maybe that was just a sympathy thing. By the time his second term came around I really couldn’t understand how anyone could vote for him, Independent, Democrat or Republican. It just boggled the mind.
I didn’t vote for him the first time because he came across as an un-caring frat boy. He obviously cared about the oil business and his political party, but not about those who weren’t provided with all of the advantages that he was born to. That and the fact that he had tanked at every endeavor he had ever undertaken except getting elected to the Texas governorship. I didn’t want someone like that getting the reins of our country. Sigh.
My dilemma was voting for an uncaring frat boy, or someone who was too enthralled with their own awesomeness. Neither Bush or Gore were good choices for me as far as I was concerned. When Kerry came up to bat, aside from the war (which a lot of people still supported in 2004) Kerry just had to much baggage. If people were that disenchanted with Bush, how come Kerry didn’t win? I will concede that it’s entirely possible that Gore could have/should have won, but that’s now history.
What exactly was Kerry’s horrid baggage? I vaguely remember not being very clear about that at the time either, but I think I might have also been subconsciously trying to forget everything about that election.
I think it was the general ‘looking like Jay Leno/Herman Munster’ thing…
Heinz Ketchup and Old Navy flip flops?
So far we have basically everyone say they didn’t vote for Bush either time. I can well imagine there are more people who did, but are just to embarrassed to say so. Well, I did, twice. And for the record, even though I am a registered Republican, I am quite embarrassed over how Bush managed his Administration. In fact, over the last 8 years there’s been alot that has embarrassed me from the Republican side. Having said that, I have two words that might compensate – Frank & Pelosi.
Frank & Pelosi sounds like a brand of supermarket pasta. The kind you get in the freezer cases.
*snort*
-
If only we were so lucky!
In 2000 Bush made good sense. Pulling back from policing the world, and a lot of old style Republican noises… small govt, lower federal taxes, etc… I’d have voted for what Govenor Bush (R, TX) said…
Gore, for the average American, was far too intellectual, hence the cross aisle mockery.
2004… There was, at least from outside, the general idea that the US felt ‘better the devil you know’ rather than Kerry, who really had no presence, nor depth. The Republican smears on his war record were, in my opinion, uncalled for, but in view of Bush’s LACK of war record (other than technically still being AWOL) is understandable. The whole ‘War President’ thing rang hollow, since to most people, the wars in the Gulf and the Afghan wastes are little more than video games, and were likely to remain so while ever the greater public didn’t get a feel for the number of the dead being brought home. no one realistically thought anyone other than Bush would win.
2008 – well… thet was an ‘all bets off’ race. Hillary hanging in to the bitter end almost hamstrung the Dem race and the selection of Palin from, apparently, nowhere after the Obama selection just seemed a combination of ill advised and cynical, coupled with an ever widening distrust of the Fundamentalist Christian lobby on the GOP. The inherent racism of the American people, which had never been truly tested before, was the wild card, versus a GOP who were less and less trusted. If the banks hadn’t been screwing each other dry until they stopped talking to each other, then the 08 race would have been a lot closer. As it was, the Reps were at the helm when everything went belly up, and thus paid the price… whether that was right or wrong is debatable, and will probably be debated until the start of the next century.
I’d not be embarrassed to have voted Bush in 2000. ’04 I’m not sure there was that real a choice, since, even for someone out side of the whole circus, what Kerry stood for was debatable at best and non-existent at worst…
Have you been reading Seth’s notes again? Damn, that was very enlightening and I have to agree with your assessment. My embarrassment comes from the fact that Bush was given not one, but two opportunities to do the right thing and fscked them both up. And as you said, better the devil you know.
Re: Seth’s notes… No, but I’ll take that as a compliment!
To Czernobog:
I’m an American. I’m don’t understand how it happened. I’m baffled. Yet, I know that a ton of my family voted for him. I can’t possibly understand why.
“I’m don’t understand.” DAMN IT! I’m don’t understand how/why I did that.
Oh, do put the ‘patriot’ bull crap on a back burner…
No seriously, how in the holy f**k did we get stuck with this assbag for 8 miserable years?
We didn’t. :-/
Well, not a *majority* of us, anyway.
Many of us didn’t vote for him. There was and is still much debate about whether or not he actually won the elections.
He got 51% of the vote (without recruiting homless bums and criminals)
the obama clown got 52%, so is there a question if HE won? There certainly should be. Have fun living in a 3rd world communist country, 6 weeks and he’s outdone all the debt we EVER had, in our entire 230+ years. keep the change you morons.
Wow, what an… utterly worthless string of nonsensical meaningless right-wing talking points. Did you watch Hannity repeats all week to get that paragraph? You realize that what you said has absolutely no basis in reality whatsoever, right?
Oxycontin. Being an opiate, it tends to warp perception.
the communist America hater got 52% of the vote, that is not a “talking point”, Acorn made NO secret that they were recruiting homeless people and criminals to vote for someone who REFUSES to show either his birth certificate OR his college transcripts to anyone, gee…I wonder why? that is a FACT, not a “talking point” “The Dow is down 30 percent since Election Day and 15 percent since Obama took office.” <<FACT
Guess what, when the country goes bankrupt because of your socialist savior and you welfare leaches get no more “free” money, maybe THEN you’ll get it.

He provided his birth certificate. It has been inspected and verified as authentic by several different independent authorities.

[LINK] -With photos, witness testimonies, and the whole 9-yards.
You mean like Tripp Palin’s birth cert wasn’t shown, that sort of hiding?
I agree, except for Tripp wasn’t running for president. To be fair, we
didn’t get to see Malia and Sasha’s to prove that Michelle isn’t RuPaul,
either (joking, guys, just joking!)
No, but I don’t remember there being a hoo haa to see Bush I or II’s, or any other candidate other than the black guy… odd that… In fact McCain’s cert never cropped up much in conversation and he was born in Panama (on a naval base, but, hey… did any one REALLY check that stuff out?)
Yes, and the ink on McCain’s birth certificate was all
smeared, but papyrus does that…
(joking, guys, just joking!)
You were kind. I would have gone the ‘stone tablet’ route…
Champollion used it as an adjunct to Rosetta…
I can see your dark cloud of irrational hate from my house.
“the communist America hater got 52% of the vote, that is not a “talking point”,
You’re right, it’s not a talking point. It’s a statistic. Well, a statistic precluded
by some opinions, but a statistic nonetheless.
“Acorn made NO secret that they were recruiting homeless people and criminals to vote for someone”
Substantiate your insanity or STFU.
“who REFUSES to show either his birth certificate OR his college transcripts to anyone, gee…I wonder why?”
I can wager a guess: BECAUSE THERE’S NOTHING TO HIDE, GENIUS.
Had he forged his birth certificate, it would have come up in both his run for
Illinois state senate and during the primaries of the 2008 election. The fact
that the whole “controversy” (a word which here means “No controversy
whatsoever”) began only *after* he was elected means the issue just *drips*
with validity. After all, you can’t trust that Supreme Court for tossing it out!
It’s packed to the gills with loony libs!!!
Wait, no it isn’t. It’s got 4 conservatives, 4 liberals, and a moderate. Hm.
“that is a FACT, not a “talking point” ”
Actually, no it’s not. It’s neither of those. Try again, and lose the insanity next
attempt.
““The Dow is down 30 percent since Election Day and 15 percent since Obama took office.” <<FACT”
Yes it is a fact. Good job, you’re getting better at correctly labeling things! Have
a cookie!
The stock market couldn’t possibly be tanking because we’re in a recession or
something, right? Nah, impossible. Recessions and poor stock markets have
no correlation whatsoever between them. What color is the sky in your world?
“Guess what, when the country goes bankrupt because of your socialist savior and you welfare leaches get no more “free” money, maybe THEN you’ll get it.”
Guess what?
1) You don’t know what socialism is
2) Your argument is invalid
3) You misspelled “leeches”
4) You’re an idiot
5) why is free in quotes??
Let’s assume just for a minute as a hypothetical that we *will* become socialist
now. That our press will be restricted, our opinions silenced. Yeah, that’d be bad,
but there’s a silver lining: I wouldn’t have to put up with poorly constructed,
logically inept, riddled with fallacies, paranoid, invalid, incompetent, incoherent,
pathetic miserable excuses for ‘arguments’ (such as yours) coming from paranoid,
ill-informed, incompetent, idiotic, hateful, moronic dipshits like you.
Shut the holy hell up and open your mouth again only when you’ve learned the

All good points, but I wonder how much Dan can absorb at
one time. He doesn’t appear to appreciate thought too much.
Considering the way he parrots talking points, perhaps he
needs crackers between each phrase.
Responses containing more than 50 words will likely not be fully processed until the following business day.
Well done rebuttal. I don’t usually even attempt to illuminate minds when faced with sewage dregs like Dan (it’s a basic truth that people believe what they want to believe), but there’s no shame in trying.
The password is: verbal diarrhea.
From what i understand, Kerry lost because many thought of him as an elitist. Bush was elected a second term because people like him. (Keep in mind this was before the KAtrina-FEMA disaster. Thats really what cost him his popularity and cost the GOP the 2008 election.

Get your facts straight.
Check out the buffoons we now have “running” the show, they going to be #1 very,very soon.
I didn’t. Twice.
I’m more baffled at how Americans could vote for Barack Obama, who is currently screwing up more in his first 100 days than Bush or any other president could do in 100 years. The man is a complete amateur, and every time he opens his mouth, the stock market dives another 150 points. In addition, he can’t seem to appoint a single honest taxpayer to his cabinet. My God, how are we supposed to pay our taxes when our Treasury Secretary says he can’t figure out TurboTax. I give Obama a massive FAIL.
Well, that brought nothing new to the discussion… simply reiterated stuff that’s been refuted before…
‘Slow’ seems apposite.
Nothing “new” has been brought to the discussion for the last 8 years, since the first liberal talking points were issued that Bush was to be portrayed as dumb/evil. Come on, guys. Come up with something original. We’re getting bored with the same old script. What are you going to be told to hate next? Oh, right, freedom of speech. You’re gonna miss that pretty soon.
*wraps arms around slowboat and squeezes* It’s okay, we’re all Comrades here.
I’ve warned you… if you get infested… just sayin’
And don’t forget the black helicopters….and seizing your guns and ammo….and forcing you to marry someone not of your ethnicity.
Slowboat -listen to something besides Fixed Noise network, and Rush/Sean/Bill-O and Ann and her wannabees. You might hear a fact for a change.
What are you going to be told to hate next? Oh, right, freedom of speech. You’re gonna miss that pretty soon.
Oh, sort of like Ari Fleischer telling us all we have to watch what we say because any dissent from what Bush things is right is ZOMG TREASON!!!!1!!ELEVEN!!
It’s all so clear now.
“U Americans”? Who’s asking?
I didn’t vote for him either time. Neither did a lot of americans. Unfortunately for the United States, the archaic Electoral College is in place. This group awards electoral votes based upon each individual state, and thusly removes the popular vote from the counting.
I say it’s archaic, because the United States uses electronic voting, and therefore it would be extremely easy to count each individual vote. However, the Electoral College makes for great television, as it shows the drama of how the election unfolds. So in the good ol’ USA, your vote really doesn’t matter in the presidential race.
you are neglecting one thing… States where there are so few people that they wounldn’t fill Manchester (England) compared to places like NY or Parts of Calif. that are highly populous. The Federal Republic is made up of quasi-independent states, not ‘Americans’. To lose the electoral college would, in effect, weaken the power of the state (i.e. Alaska, Oregon, Arizona, not the ‘Federal state’). The Founding Fathers were never much interested in the ‘popular’ vote, looking to preserve a Federal Republic.
Additionally, there isn’t a government on the planet that is interested in increasin the power of the individual… thus we have the sort of legislation we’ve seen in the post-9-11 world, where you can be wire tapped without warrant, and I can be arrested for having a camera in the ‘wrong place’…
There is the canard that ‘People shouldn’t fear their governments, governments should fear their people.’ It misses the fact our governments fear, despise and loathe us in equal measure. Thus you lads have the “Patriot act” where-by not even congress knows fully what they signed to law, and we have the ‘Prevention of Terrorism Act 2003′… Dit-dit-dit-dah! Dit-dit-dit-dah!
Just how pervasive is CCTV over there, exactly?
Enough for me not to be worried about it since they’re pretty much to data overload
Details boy, details.
We’ve all been wondering what happened on your one and only trip here.
It’s time to Fes(ter) up.
That’s in the UK… we’re catching you up on the whole ‘police state’ thing…
Ah ok. And it should be noted that I held back on the obvious ‘body-cavity’ jokes about the camera being in the ‘wrong place’. Sometimes the easy ones are just too easy.
Still curious about the arrest though.
Legislation enacted Feb 16th 2009. Basically Section 76 of the The Counter-Terrorism Act 2008 (Commencement No. 2) Order 2009, to wit
As I’ve said before, they seem to think 1984 was a blueprint, not a warning…
*joy*
So if I take a photo of a British police officer eating a
doughnut, I can be arrested if someone thinks my photo
could help a terrorist? Who decides “likely?”
There’s the ‘rub’… it’ll be unlikely over PC Plod having a coffee, but say old Plod and his oppos are reenacting the highlights of the Rodney King Arrest for some clearly terrorist thing like ‘Being Black in a BMW 7 series in a build up area’… You film it, you could well wind up in the same place…See link for the modern police at work over ‘civil disobedience’…
Wow–You Brits are trying to maintain your “51st
State” status, aren’t you? That looks almost as
bad as it would here, except that your protesters
are better kept than ours.
Based on the footage, it looks as though every
protest has equal number protesters, journalists
and police. Does anyone wind up, uh, actually
protesting, or are they exhausted after the police
interrogations and journalist interviews?
The first time I heard of a ‘free speech zone’ being set up, I knew this country was lost.
Uh, ‘scuse me folks, the whole frickin’ country is supposed to eb a free speech zone!
Wiki Article
It would appear they’re nothing new… they seem to have started as an ide in colleges from that article.
One must remember the Class of 68 not only gave us the ‘Summer of Love’ but the lasting legacy of the NeoCon movement… Sort of a form of genetic syphilis on the American mind set… although they did build on an pre-existing structure. One just has to see how people’s eyes glaze when the words ‘Liberal’, ‘Communist’, or ‘Socialist’ are applied to an individual… to see how mass media programming in the ‘Land of the Free’ has worked…
“Now watch what you say or they’ll be calling you a radical,
Liberal, fanatical, criminal. Won’t you sign up your name, we’d like to feel you’re
acceptable, respectable, presentable, a vegetable!”
Logical Song?
Yeah, anytime liberal is used as an insult I think of that song. When I was a kid I couldn’t understand why it would be a bad thing.
Absolutely true, but I don’t think they were called ‘Free Speech Zones’ in the 60′s and 70′s, nor were they used as often or for as wide a range of purpose as they were by the Bush Administration. I believe they were also primarily used on campuses, and not as a way to prevent the POTUS from knowing how extraordinarily ‘unpopular’ he was (Nixon knew, he just hated the protesters so much he didn’t want to see them).
No one used them or abused them more than Bush. Here’s an article published in the December 15, 2003 issue of The American Conservative, titled “Free-Speech Zone” which details some of the abuse of the Bush admin. up to that date.
but the idea comes from the same people that spawned the Neocons, thus it is a logical progression. I’m waiting for the Police to manage to do something akin to the Peterloo massacre over here for the tide to significantly turn.
This isn’t funny. It’s getting old. Really old, really fast. *sigh*
Well, no it’s not funny…it’s sad…. really, really sad.
But it’s over… let’s move on.
Absolutely. Just as soon as you lot have gotten the Clinton jokes out of your system, plus 8 years.
Well, that, and the small matter of some prosecutions…That alone
should take 8 years.
Oh, yeah, and there is the small matter of scale. If a blow job is good
for 8 years and counting, the sum total of the Bush’s crimes should
carry us through Malia Obama’s presidency.
@rho – ZING! Malia’s presidency FTW !
Well played.
WIN
Thank you all!
I still find Clinton BJ’s funny… although I find the whole pejury thing tired, since the court screwed the pooch on that…
Excellent point. Blow jobs are always comedy gold.
I could go for some comedy gold right about now…
Jane, I’ve got a box for you. All you need to do is open the box (step3), and you can store some comedy gold inside!
Yay! I love presents!
Hahah. Jane I’m really liking what Rho’s evil potions have done for you, I’m going to have to try a sip!
*takes a nip from Jane’s bottle, marked only #6*
*suddenly feels like hugging trolls*
It’s the best way, really. Who can be looking for commies when I’m showering them with love?
All hail the Sacred Boobies of Troll Smothering!
You lot? I didn’t vote for the guy. I’m over the jokes. I want him to live a long life alone with his cowardice.
And I want America to never forget what complacency does.
Well, while ever the US refuses to recognise the International Court of Human Rights, and has a veto on the UN issuing War Crimes, then ‘alone with his cowardice’ is all that’s going to happen…
“…never forget what complacency does.”
Excellent point!
remember remember the 2nd of november…
TONN gets another one …
This isn’t TONN. TONN is the new name for the other one.
Didn’t we sort out that H had heather’s email or some crazy sh!t like that?
No, that was Literal, who posted as Sardonic at first*. Sardonic posted the
heather email, then socked around as several others until landing on the
name Literal as the main sock, with still other socks, as well.
Literal (the longest lasting sock) has made LOLs mainly under this name,
but has several profiles set up to vote on itself and its friends, and vote
down anyone else. We’ve found four of its profiles so far.
For all of her craziness, TONN never* socked, though she did falsely
claim that she had been socked. Of course, the avatars revealed that
TONN was the author of all of her comments, including the ones she
tried to say weren’t hers.
never = can’t be proven, but highly unlikely, before avatars.
at first = on PK
P.S. Does anyone else see elements of the FW “Archivist” here?
Mission accomplished.
Thanks again, Dear. That has been great fun!
It’s kind of sad that you are soo worried about people bothering you who I’ve never even seen talking here. Don’t take this the wrong way, but maybe you should get out a bit more, for your own health?
I get out plenty. Thank you for your selfless concern.
How long have you been posting here?

A train whistle? I guess… I live near a changing station and Northern Indian is just littered with train tracks so a train whistle just signifies that not only will you be unable to stop for coffee on your way to work, you’ll likely be twenty minutes late as well.
Indiana rather, left of the ‘a’ thanks to Firefox *angry glare*
LOL, dna yo u let of the becase or whta raesn?
I used to hear the train whistles distantly in the night from my bedroom window when I was a kid. There were no such complications then.
I fcuking just woke up to a train in my back yard. Unfortunately I rarely get to hear them in the distance, as they’re always right outside my door…… *grumble*
Wow, did it plow through the fence and knock over the barbeque??
Something like that
I live in a flat, so no fence.
The rails are about 30 paces from my door, right on the other side of where I park my car. It’s not a very high-traffic railway so it’s sort of rare to be woken up by it.
Fun to play on, though. My cartwheels are straight enough, working on handstands now…
*wrrrrr* of my cat Tigger purring in a sunbeam
Why? Are you planning to put me into you “naughty” book, Santa?
Why do you ask?
Y’know, I was thinking about this last night. I think I’ve been coming here since last May sometime. I know I was here mid-June because I spent my birthday making lols. Sad.
I’ve been here since mid June. I know you and herb were already here when I started.
You’re possibly the longest poster left. There aren’t many,
if any, who’ve been on much longer. Did PK start in late
March last year, or is that only as far back as the LOLs go?
I’m not sure. I started hanging out last May(ish) and was certain I had seen a website that posted snarky captions on political pictures before somewhere else.
I think PK may have been an independent site once upon a time and the Cheezburgers ate it as part of their stable of caption sites. Lolcats started in Jan 07 and loldogs started soon after, if I’m not mistaken. The other sites were added later.
It’s an empire of lolcaptions, now!! This is just my theory.
I think you’re right. Anyway, we are certainly
lucky that you have stood the test of time.
Isn’t it funny that you’re considered one of the
“Ancients,” when you haven’t been posting a
year? A lot happens on PK, though.
Yeah, I’m a sucker for punishment!
It’s been fun to see how the place has changed a bit but essentially has stayed the same. The “regulars” have been entertaining and very educational. I’ve actually LEARNED things from you all! <3
Lowly Grunt = ♥♥♥
“I’ve actually LEARNED things from you all!”
You’re too kind, in mine and some other
cases. Most of the things you’ve learned on
PK could get you arrested, or *at least*
shunned… ;P
I’m with LG on this one. I don’t often post, but I read the comments constantly, and I keep an extra window open so I can Google without losing my place! PK and the ensuing comments are very educational, if for no other reason than people demand facts to back up their comments. Thanks!
I wish you would post more often, but it’s
good to know you’re around.
Now that’s what I would call a literal statement …
*extreme shock*
OMG…You don’t mean…it responds like clockwork, lurking
around, then popping up to tell others to get a life???
Indeed.

That’s not nice… she has a mouth like a slit in a carrot…
You’re right. And the boobies are real, either.
Nice to see that my devices are working,
as well…
Are you ready to apologize for teasing me
about my typo yesterday? Hmm?
*holds bottle of evil botanical typo antidote
out for pittypat to see*
Let’s see: ok, I’m sorry you got mad.
No? Not a *real* apology?
Hmm, ok, I’m sorry but you started it so it’s your fault. That’s not real either?
Um, ok, I, I, you say it first! No? You have no need to apologize?
Hmm, ok, well, I would apologize but since you asked me to, it won’t be real. No? That’s lame too? Hmm, ok, so yeah, I guess I’m sorry Rho *hugs*
*gives pittypat antidote*
You had me at “Let’s,” you cute thing, you!
That’s ’cause she’s not a “girlie girl”. Only tomboys pose for myspace pics in a bikini.
Tomboys have crap implants?
IIRC, their implants aren’t made of crap,
but instead are made of rats, snails and
puppy dog tails.
If I’m wrong on this, please jump in…
I thought it was snakes and snails and puppy dog tails (if we’re quoting from that poem ‘what are little boys made of’ in which case little boys are clearly serial killers).
I think you’re right. Did Plath write that one?

For Jane
Where on earth did you find such an accurate picture of me, dear Unc?
another link for you…
It told me it’s been deleted. That bad, huh?
No, I pasted the link in there twice… try this one…
Awwww, the chainsaw adds a nice touch.
Jeez that’s exactly what I mean.
Do you guys also think JOhnson had Kennedy murdered, too?
lol
But I did mean that in a nice way, not as a mean thing.
And that appears to be an attempt at a sardonicstatement.
LOL! WHy don’t you ask the mods it this is the IP address of the people you;re mad at if you’re so sure it’s one of them? Because it’s more fun to pretend everyone’s the same person who is out to get you, and it gives you something to talk about!
It’s a familiar kind of rude that tips me off …
Well then put up or shut up and leave me alone. Jeez.
poke. poke. pokepokepokepokepoke.
Maturity — you shure haz it!
@pittypat: Hey! That looks like fun!!
*pokety-poke-poke-poke…poke*
LOL!! It *IS* fun!! Woot!!
I like how it says “leave me alone” like it’s not the one to interject into a conversation with insults for the ones conversing.
Oh, the rest of the hive mind is swarming now. I’d better go and jump in the lake so i won’t end up all stung full of liberla venom.
LOL!
And thanks for being match-ooooooor
Oh, and before I forget:
*poke poke pokety poke*
This IS fun!
um. leisa87, you are being an ass. sory pittypat for that. leisa87 is my mentaly disturbed sister and she escaped from the hospital.
In Liberia, apparently.
mhm. she stuck a fork in a light socket and fried her brain…
I guess that explains your moniker.
See, you can’t hurt me, cuz I don’t have any emotional investement in this website; you guys, on the other hand, guard it as if you own it, which means you have ti interject your opinions where they’re not requested and thane say other people are wrong when they do it.
If you haven’t figured it out yet, it’s a public forum, so anybody can post. Also, as I said, put up or shut up. YOu tell other people to do that, why can’t you?
Seems a bit early for benzodiazepines …
SO by your silence you admit you do exactly what you accuse other people of doing, then, namely “i can say whatever I wnat to whoever I want without proof.”
Typical.
That’s strange, I hear a baby crying. Is someone babysitting today? Maybe they need to change some diapers.
LOL! THat’s really funny, Jane! I’ll let pittypat know you’re worried about her diaper!
Weird. There it is again.
OT, but I’m so SQUEEEE I can’t help it.
I just cleaned out my garden pond, and
found over 30 dragonfly larvae there!
Last year, I only found a dozen.
Huzzah for Rho’s dragonflies! (Something that large that flies at my face has never been one of my favorites, but to each their own, I guess).
Oh, but they eat mosquitoes, and they are so pretty!
yeah
Well, I’m not much of a fan of butterflies for the same reason. If it is large, insect, and flies at your face I’m not having any part in it. I’m just glad that spiders never evolved wings, or I’d seal myself up in a bubble!
I think dragonflies are the coolest thing evar!
I just did Phase II on the pond, and found
some more. Dragonflies spend 7/8 of their
lives as larvae, and all they do for a living at
that phase is eat mosquito larvae. Some
dragonflies don’t even eat during the final
1/8 of their lives, but the kind I have does,
and are wonderful to gaze upon as they
perch on the horsetail.
Anyway, I can’t tell you how happy this
discovery makes me. It’s my reward for
going green! YAY!!
A few minutes ago, I was happy dancing in
the back yard, when I realized that my
neighbor had seen me. She joined in, then
asked why we were so happy–LOL!
Well, because YOU’RE happy, I’M happy. *happy dances with Rho and her neighbor*
Thank you, Jane! I’m a real dork when it
comes to this sort of thing. You should have
seen me the first time I found swallowtail
caterpillars on my fennel. (The police report
really didn’t do it justice.)

Noes! five food *eight*, one-thirty!
Yikes I have to apologize all over again.
You eight five foods?
One mustn’t be two tense about it …
Gee! I was wondering why I had growing
pains all over again…eight inches in as many
minutes? And without pizza?
Dammit! Why did I have to say “pizza?”
Mmmmmpizza. Pizzapizzapizza.
“I think dragonflies are the coolest thing evar!”
`
I like dragonflies, too. For some reason, there are a lot of
ladybugs in and around my yard, which are also good, because
they eat aphids and other pests. Every so often, a ladybug sneaks into my house, and I find them inching cutely along the windowsill.
O.M.G. Every winter they flood my house, and they’re hard little shells are not easy to vacuum. I’m talking piles and piles of ladybugs. And they bite. I know, I know. Not supposed to happen. But they do and it’s nasty. Even the cats won’t chase them. Dragonflies, however, are lovely.
*their
Well, those might be Asian Lady Beetles (I think that’s what they’re called). Seems to me that one was edging out the other’s natural habitat and over producing. When we lived in the southern part of the fair state of Indiana we had them coating the outside of our house once. It was like invasion of the body snatchers or something. We get a fair amount in our house up here too, it is annoying when you get more than a few.
I got them in my office at work, a few years in a row. I would leave them alone, but some of them would die and I’d end up crunching shells under my feet. Finally caulked the window, which kept them out.
Asian Beetles suck. My cat will eat any other flying insects that invade my home. I don’t even own a flyswatter. She doesn’t touch the Asian beetles. Stupid invasive species *mumbles*
At the risk of being thrown onto the troll pile…
As a frequent lurker and occaisional poster, the
regulars do seem to go off on these “troll hunts”
pretty frequently where someone is accused of
being a previous troll. I don’t know if there is a
way of proving or disproving that the accused
is the troll in question, but the rapid labeling
and subsequent poking by several people makes
y’all look kinda paranoid.
Think of it this way. So what if we’re wrong. This individual came in wih a nasty insult. When confronted, it kept it up. Whether an ex-troll or a newbie troll, a troll is a troll and gets the same treatment.
Good summary!
Dunno why, but it inspired the memory of a
(paraphrased) childhood favorite:
“I meant what I said,
and I said what I meant
A troll is for whacking,
One hundred percent.”
Well, and maybe we wouldn’t be so paranoid if Megabob hadn’t had over 30 socks throughout the time he was posting. Since the PK “regulars” correctly identified about 95% of his socks (before avatars, I might add) then I’d say we’re doing pretty well on the troll front.
I’m to 37 ids with the occasional Lazarus threads popping up…
All I’m saying is that this seems
to come up with surprising
frequency. I’m just trying to
give a little wider perspective
of how things are coming across
to others.
with the kind of OCD exibited by some of the most determined trolls of the past months, I’d say it’s unsurprising that, when someone with virtually identical posting and speech patterns to a known Troll comes in, fully formed, while loudly proclaiming ‘My first post’ and other typically disingenuous crap, while clearly aware of the entire back story of all the other troll interactions, then I’d say it was suspicious…
However, feel free to disagree…
Funny thing is I didn’t even realize you guys considered Literal a troll until she went all batshit crazy one day. It’s all very Jekyll and Hyde.
@Steve: S/he uses lots of socks, so you may
not have been aware that some of his/her
crazy was going his/hers, because it was
posted under different names. Megabob
was/is the big socker (37 and counting), and
his/her tells are distinctive, too. As far as we
have seen, TONN didn’t sock, but made false
claims that she had been hijacked. As far as
we know, EP was just EP.
Strike “going” in the third line.
Nah….was Nixon did that. heh
i see what you did there.
Yay! Somebody noticed me! I have noticed that much gets
buried by the way things nest here. Kinda strange the way they
do that.

Sorry about my Coffee Deficiency Disorder (CDD). You’ve brought up a
good point. This one needs a nickname. Considering it has changed names
frequently, it would be nice (and novel) to have *one* name for it.
Any suggestions?
Wait up. You mean to tell me that TONN, aka H*NF, is not Heather?
Heather = Literal
HHNF = TONN
That’s three demerits for summoning, Aedriel.
Their signatures are completely different. They are two distinct
individuals.
Really? I thought that time that Sardonic ramped up into hysterics and wailed about us abusing her preteens was pure TONN. But you know better so I defer to the master archivist
LOL!! I never wanted to develop skill in distinguishing one
set of ravings from another, but it is what it is.

I think Froo jokingly called her HHNSardonic, because of her “Won’t someone think of the children?” diatribe.

YOINK!!
*steals credit for cool name from pittypat*
Yeah…the Bush bashing got old…say around the time a new President was elected. Now its not even funny anymore. We have seen all the jokes and parodies of Bush a million times and they just cease to humor me anymore.
No, they didn’t… same way that Clinton BJ’s are funny… sorry..
Well, the genre of ‘Bush R Dum’ still has a lot of good material in it, if we can just mine it out. This particular example is just a meh to me, but then we must consider the captioner, who seems to specialize in unclear and unfunny lols.
More “LOL BUSH IS DUMB!!!!” humor?
Yes… we had a Clinton BJ one the other day… you can go complain on that too…
Well, Clinton actually got a BJ. Bush is smarter than most people think.
Sorry I DARE to have a different sense of humor than you. The nerve of some people, right?
Ah, an apologist… I see… So, really it’s not a whine about it being ‘old’ but about it not being to your political taste… Sort of a ‘blasphemy’ issue rather than anything else… That’s cool… I’ll now mock you for a moment

Actually, its more of a “not funny because it isnt true” thing. I know how to laugh at myself, and laugh at members of my own party. But there is on catch: In order for me to do that, it has to actually be funny.
But once again, if I disagree with you, I must be an idiot.
room for one more?
I’ll stop you when I disagree…
You’re a very accomplished mocker, have you ever thought of going pro?
I tend to prefer the edge of Amateur mocking… Going Pro would get in the way of my other adventures…
Terrific LOL. Right on the money. Iconic.
And if people are wondering how so many Americans could vote for the Idiot Bush, just wait and see how many vote for the Bimbo Palin in 2012.
You don’t think Romney or Jindal can catch her before the election?
No matter what, it will be an interesting primary, I think.
I can’t wait to see the beat down members of her own party will serve in order to edge her out of the nomination.
+1
I foresee plenty of republicans flinging poo her direction to make themselves look better. It should all be very entertaining.
Maybe the difference is that Obama is actually invested and involved in the office of President of the United States?
You have some insider information on that terrorist attack? It seems to be the only thing the GOP has to pin its hopes on these days.
Dan’s getting a tan and hoarding weed killer as we discuss the matter…
LOL!
Dan, do you have a breakdown on the dates of the 284 EOs? I would venture
to guess that the frequency of EOs would be higher at the beginning of the
term of a president replacing the opposite party. Do you know how many EOs
Bush signed in his first 7 weeks?
Poor dan, he is not the man.
Are you keeping count of the signing statements too, funny boy, or are you too busy making up stupid nicknames that make no sense whatsoever?
If you’re looking for a wannabe dictator, look no further than the chump who signed laws with statements claiming he didn’t have to obey them and ordered his pet lawyers to give him cover for dismantling the Constitution at will.
The Dow Jones Industrial Average fell 20 percent since Inauguration Day, the fastest drop under a new president in at least 90 years, according to data compiled by Bloomberg. The gauge has lost 53 percent from its October 2007 record of 14,164.53, slipping 4.1 percent to 6,594.44 yesterday.
More than $1.6 trillion has been erased from U.S. equities since Jan. 20 as mounting bank losses and rising unemployment convinced investors the recession is getting worse. The president is in danger of breaking a pattern in which the Dow rallied 9.8 percent on average in the 12 months after a Democrat captured the White House, according to data compiled by Bloomberg.
Option A: Explain exactly how a McCain presidency would have halted the
course of an economy plummeting into recession, in terms of DJIA, equities,
and unemployment.
Option B: Since you seem to want to blame the sitting president for the
economy, explain how the economy is Obama’s fault, and not Bush’s fault.
Option C: STFU
Option D: *snuggles Dan* I love you Comrade…

You wouldn’t happen to know about a bottle of Troll Love Potion #6,
would you? That was a weird batch…
No, I don’t, why do you ask? *suppresses urge to snuggle with Rho*
I was afraid of that…
If you’re going to try that approach, you can’t forget a good bottle of Russian
Potato Vodka. This is my favorite.
.
After all, what’s communism without vodka?
Ummmm, can we make screwdrivers? Or add cranberry juice?
Only until we’ve completely transformed to 100% Communist. Then, you can’t even keep it in the freezer. You must drink it like water. In fact, it’s my understanding that in Russian
Vod = water
ka = diminutive form
.
so I think it basically means something like ‘cute little water’ anyway.
.
BTW, with a good vodka like this, don’t mix it with anything. At the most, use a twist of lemon or a squirt of lemon juice (that’s how I like it).
Arrgh, I’m being stupid. Luksusowa is not Russian! It’s a Polish Potato Vodka.
I’ve only been drinking it for 30 years, you’d think I’d remember that.

It’s always been my understanding that it was the Poles who created Vodka, and it was originally made from potatoes, not grain.
after that stuff for 30 years, I’m surprised you remember your name…
To be fair, Bush was blamed for everything bad that happened during his Presidency, even when probably half of it had nothing to do with him. Obama will get the same treatment. As did Clinton, and Bush 1, and Reagan. Sh*t rolls uphill. Sorry that’s just how it is. If something goes right, Congress did it, or the American people take credit for it themselves. If something goes wrong, it’s the Presidents fault.
Shit rolls downhill. Not uphill.
Physics fail.
From a political perspective, it rolls uphill. Physics and logic have no place
in politics..
Nope, even politicians can’t subvert physics.

sh1t floats to the top, at which point politicians shove it over the edge where it then rolls down hill, smothering us all.
Phew. I’m glad I’m not the only one that gave this more thought than I care to acknowledge.
Because the economy was doing so well before Obama was inaugurated.
So he didn’t reverse a runaway freight train the first day he stepped into office, which is no surprise, apparently only you expected him to be capable of that.
Since much of economics is based on stolen physics formulae… Could you imagine the carnage of runaway inertia, and massive g forces involved in that sort of turn around? It would be a victory, but only Pyrrhus would get the joke…
OR Spiderman mulling on why Gwen Stacy died…
Zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz.
and we have another ‘Oh look, I’m stupid’ post from Anniee… quelle surprise…
Thank you for the valuable input. My 4 year old niece couldn’t have said it better herself.
Whether you think Bush is a good or bad man doesn’t matter.
You still must face the fact that he’s a dumb man.
