You might be the Prime Minister of Canada, but you’re still a nobody when compared to Obama.

Copy & paste this:



censorship. You’re doing it right!
Crappy photographer – WIN!
No this is – Obama blocking the teleprompter so Stephen Harper can’t read what Obama is going to say next.
Win!
Don’t worry, Obama made it up to him by givin’ him a nice DVD collection. It was on sale at the WalMart!
Actually he ended up holding onto the DVDs and gave them to his friend Gordon.
Obama only likes dictators.
Wolvie – Proving idoits can type since November 08
But not that they can spell the word idiot.
HA HA HA!!! What a dumbass!!
“idoits” can type
HA HA HA!!!
And Bono still pwns both of these guys. Celebrity fail.
Man, it must suck to be the leader of a US Ally right now…
Why? I’d have thought you’d be pleased he’s focussing on the domestic issues…
President Obama’s “focusSing” on embryonic stem cell research instead of upfront economic and immigratiion issues, which worries me at times. Now is not the time to start a complicated and possibly moral reversal of a Bush policy.
It was a zero sum signing, and domestic… I would think a lot of people who will actually benefit from the lifting of the embargo were pleased… and look on the bright side! It’s a use for dead babies and we know how Barry loves them dead babies!
And in the end he will answer for those souls! There are other kinds of stem cells–spinal stem cells, for example; but since embryonic stem cells are more accesible and more common, there are many who wants them. Could it save lives? Yes! A life would be sacrificed for a life, however, and negated, and it would still be a death. In the end, all who know the truth will answer.
I do not condemn the frightened mother confused by the lies of Planned Parenthood, or some campaigners who may not full well the truth. Obama, however, is not releasing all the information, and he is using this for his and his party’s own cunning beliefs!
Nothing like the breath of scientifically ignorant paranoia to add some pungency to the proceedings…
Dead babies are no longer the primary source of stem cells, but please, you keep the US as a third world, demon haunted, superstitious hell hole…
Don’t encourage her, I’d rather we not.
I was going to ask if you really wanted to start this, Unc, but it seems I am too late. Have fun!
I’m sure Dhoti will be along to castigate for lack of relevance shortly… soon as he’s changed the fat in the donut fryer, and wiped some tables…
Oddly enough, when you are an intelligent, well read, well educated person who listens objectively to intelligent, well educated advisers, you can actually do more than one thing at a time. Bush’s policy was based solely on “truthi-ism”, whatever he thought in his itty bitty mind/gut combo. Not based in science or logic, or any thought to the greater good. Just his ego and his opinion. The policy led to great advancements of non-embryonic stem cell research- in some cases. But it also led to a massive set back in understanding the possibilities and limitations of what this technology may do. Get over the hyperbolic rhetoric and a petri dish of cells are somehow a human life- again the reality simply does not hold this OPINION up (the human body miscarries 75% of fertilized eggs- fetuses, human lives-whatever you want to call them within the first 12 weeks of fertilization- so god f*cks up 75% of the time if we follow the “catholic right to life” illogical logic). With that said there are limitation and ethics that need to be applied- and NIH has a long history of investing in bioethics- it is one of the top priorities of the stimulus money given to NIH- and this is a continuation of a long history. Some of the commentators for the support stem cell research side have said some horrific things about not allowing politics to stand in the way of scientific inquiry (hey Hitler was all for that!)- but they did not mean it the way it sounded- or if they did, it will not end up that way- we have bioethics conferences, nationally and internationally, and standards are set for this and other controversial techniques that are evaluated and updated regularly. Obama simply trusts a process that has, for over 60years been highly successful- not perfect, but better than “cause I think so, and I am the decider” crap of prior “leaders”. He is putting the SYSTEM back in place- rather than the individual- All the powers that everyone ignored being handed over to Bush now make many nervous in the hands of Obama- instead of going coo coo for cocoa puffs, he is acting in a responsible and thoughtful, rational manner and re-establishing the core of America- a set of ideas and a system- not an individual- if you want that I think the leader of Sudan is acting in a manner in which you might approve- one thing at a time- his thing, all the time. Bush should not have bi-passed the systems of America and science- Obama is simply reasserting them.
What are embryos? Embryos contain everything that is needed for a human life form because they come from the cross-breeding of two human parents ! Therefore, an embryo from two humans is human and should not be destroyed because it is life and in the political rhetoric has “potential” life, just like the eagle eggs that the government seems to protect so well.
Oh, go do some research… preferably not from pro-life sites, since they mostly lie…
I have gone onto Planned Parenthood’s website and onto pro-choice blogs. I honestly do see that there are people who truly do believe in their mission and their work, bit I have studied biology for years. I hope to breed horses someday, and I would never willingly destroy an embryo because you are destroying a life form just to save another life form. That is science, not morals.
I stand by what I believe and I can see that you and others who support embryonic stem cell research believe deeply also, but I don’t like that Pres. Obama isn’t releasing much information after the leak. On CNN, Wolf Blitzer (I believe) gave a few basic facts and said “this was leaked, we can’t say much more.” If I were president, I’d at least say if or if I wasn’t working on something, but it was only through the grapevine.
Pro-choice sites don’t lie, either. We show mothers the ultrasounds and stages of life and explain the abortion processes. We talk about the science behind stem cell research (if you go through American Life League approved sources_.There are some Christian sites that get ‘fluffy’ but can be picked out/
No, they lie… tell untruths about numerous things… but now I know what your beef is, and that you are actually as ignorant as you seem, then I really have little time to waste so I’ll cut to the chase

ahhh-HAAAA
[/Nelson Muntz]
oh, and the ‘secret’ signing was in front of the press pack yesterday.
If that’s US hush-hush stuff, then I think Barry definately screwed the pooch…
But you were claiming not to misrepresent things…
Weasel-wording pap!
So women are destroying human life every month. I knew women were evil… Hence the attraction, I suppose.
Let me put it this way. The embryo is a bit of human genetic material. It isn’t a full human being, it is a part of one. Not even a finger. These cells can be used to bring Alzheimer’s victims back from the hell they are in. I am so glad you are willing to sacrifice these once productive human lives for the mass of cells in the petri dish.
Your righteous indignation disturbs me when you are standing on the block of your own hypocrisy. Your stance requires a sacrifice just as much as ours does. By your own words, we are letting a life die so that another MIGHT live. In this case, the life is a person already here while you are worried about a mass of cells that won’t even go anywhere.
Wow, just fu(king wow…
From what I understand about stem cell research, aren’t adult stem cells bringing us basically the same results as using embryonic ones? I’ll have to look that back up, but I seem to recall hearing that recently.
Then it could boil down to a supply and demand issue. I haven’t checked into it in a while. I was more interested in the hypocrisy of the moral debate in stem cell research. A “life” is sacrificed either way, period. Just in one stance, the pile of cellular goo isn’t a life, it is cellular goo.
As I recall, one of the issues in favor of non-embryonic stem cells is that embryonic stems are hard to come by. They’re not exactly handing them out in your local Wal-Mart. This makes them impractical for mass-produced treatments.
Of course, we’re still talking about research, and there’s more than enough embryos to go around for that, provided you can keep the cultists at bay.
[LINK] More research is needed, but at the moment,
it looks like adult stem cells may be the ticket.
even if that’s the case, cutting off research to the alternative isn’t a very good idea, at least when you can do the research you have proof it isn’t as good an option
[LINK]
Here’s another article about the need for
further research. Japan is making strides
in the field. We may not catch up, given
our eight year disadvantage. Oh, well–
We probably would have outsourced
it all, anyway.
*sigh*
Oh, certainly I agree. That’s why I wrote
“more research is needed.”
I have been trying to post another link, but
suffice to say that many sources are calling
for more research. Early screw-ups don’t
make the case, of course. I’m sorry if that
wasn’t clear.
BTW, Unc notes the Japanese progress in the
field that has been announced recently. We
may never make up the lost ground caused
by the eight year delay.
There’s my lost post…
Now how did that happen?
*sniffs drink* Hmmm.
i was under the impression we’d made great strides in the veterinarianfield. they are treating hip displasia (sp?) in dogs by using their fat cells and enguineering them to be stem cells. So maybe we could make up some time applying it to humans a bit.
NO, they are not. They ARE bringing SOME of the same things, and a few unique discoveries to the table (the silver lining of the Bush policy is the advances made in this arena that I think would not have been explored otherwise). They are not able to do all that embryonic stem cells have already been shown to have potential for. FYI, for anyone willing to hear rational thoughts on this issue, we destroy hundreds of thousands of embryos as part of the invitro fertilization industry in America every year- once these embryo’s were put to good use, THEN the Anti-Choice brigade got up in arms. It was due to this insanity that I actually started to investigate SCIENCE- not ANYTHING on pro-life or pro-choice site- actual peer reviewed journal articles and became a Pro-Choice person instead of neutral- I was raised Catholic, and I have boundaries regarding abortion- but the rhetoric proved to be lies told to support beliefs, not reality from what I found- so there you go.
What they have in those petri dishes aren’t embryos, they’re blastocysts.
Growths hat under a certain set of circumstances have a small chance oof becoming embryos. Someone who’s studied biology ought to know that.
biology is a sin, it’s just questioning god and his creation
Eagles are endangered, which is the only reason the eggs are protected.
Humans are not.
what was that recipe for Soylent Green, you had?
I like to add a dash of paprika to mine.
I’m from Wisconsin, use Jane’s recipe, but sprinkle with shredded cheese before serving.
(And after – floss with string cheese, rinse with beer.)
Down here we would cover it with sweet chili sauce and have some suasages and an egg on the side. Or, as a breakfast alternative, vegemite (gag).
i would not consider it a human until it is grown enough to have its own blood flowing through its veins
i usually wait until it has a brain enough that it could be a conscious entity
for some people that could be never
WIN
Considering that my 3 week old fetus (zygote?) had a heartbeat when we saw it on the sonogram, I’d say you might want to rethink that line of thought if you’re pro-choice.
it’s not a bad line of thought in the case of stem cell research with cells made in a lab. they would never be at the point of a zygote. but that’s neither here nor there really.
I understand that, but the blanket statement ‘it’s not human until blood runs through its veins’ is misleading, wrong, and stupid
it leads to a very interesting trans human question. Would someone with a fully mechanical body still be human? by the blood question, no, by the brain question yes. I am fairly sure by the time a brain has been made miscarraiges and such have been reduced dramtically
Dr. King hoped that one day a person would be judged by the content of their character not the sum total of their parts, in his era that was skin. In the future, that might be biological vs artifical parts.
They asked that same question on Battlestar Gallactica!
I, erm, have a friend who watches that show.
has there been some one with a fully mechanical body yet?
not that I am aware of, but it’s a transhuman question
That’s really kinda awesome to see, isn’t it, froo?
FYI: The fetus “always” has it’s own blood supply; that’s how HIV positive mothers can have HIV negative babies if their blood doesn’t mix at birth.
-
The mother’s circulatory system is not continuous with the fetus’s. Blood does not normally flow from the mother to the fetus and back; only materials carried in the blood are exchanged. Therefore, maternal blood cells such as B lymphocytes are not normally transferred to the fetus, although the antibodies produced by B lymphocytes do cross the placenta.…

/science geek off again
Crap! *its
Interestingly enough, there are some blood cells from the baby which do make it into the mother’s blood stream–the barrier isn’t 100% between the two. You can find fetal cells in the mom’s blood 10 YEARS later!
I actually find that fact a little creepy…
–Greetings to the fellow science geek above!
Actually, I HAVE heard that happens, but I heard it can have devastating effects on both the mother and the fetus.
I’ll have to do some more reading about the non-lethal infiltration.
Thanks, viking gal!
-
It is known that fetal cells occasionally enter the maternal circulatory system, because the result is a documented medical tragedy. In cases where the fetus has the red blood cell D antigen of the Rh group (that is, the fetus is Rh positive) and the mother does not (that is, she is Rh negative), the entry of fetal blood cells into the mother’s blood will cause an immune response against the antigen. The mother will produce antibodies against the D antigen, and these will cross the placenta and start destroying the fetal red blood cells, a condition called hemolytic disease of the newborn. Because of advances in medical knowledge and diagnostic tools, this condition is largely preventable and curable.

Damn fine post… wasted on this mob, but it’s a good one… reasoned, coherent, and level headed…
I agree, great post, although the stats I think are a bit off.
Overall risk of miscarriage is generally considered to be up to 25 percent of pregnancies. Among miscarriages, up to 75 percent are “chemical pregnancies,” that is, lost before implantation; often not sensed as a pregnancy at all. If anyone wants a cite I’ll look it up, but these numbers are all over the place.
I looked it up. It turns out that a recent study found a 31% rate of miscarriage (again, mostly “chemicals”), as reported in today’s New York Times [link]
Pregnancy Fail!
omg lol sob lol …
Mmm, can you feel the Wang tonight? Cuz it can feel you…
Good thing we have Gene HackMan in case somebody eats so many stemcells that they become an evil Superman…
Hmm, must come up with a Wanganite element for a comic book now.
I read “can you feel the wang tonight” to the tune of “can you feel the love tonight” from the Lion King. Now I feel dirty.
Mission Accomplished…
“Now is not the time to start a complicated and possibly moral reversal of a Bush policy.”
I’m a big fan of Theatre of the Absurd. Thanks!!
I for one would never want a moral reversal of policy …
Noes!! Too SOOOOOON!!
But wouldn’t moral reverse be a handy little gear in the car …
…in the back seat?
Right. I mean Billy could get his blow job, deny it to Mr. Starr, the dress could be produced, he could be charged with perjury, and he just throws that little baby into moral reverse and he’s scott free.
I think peachy is scripted by Beckett…
We are all born mad. Some remain so.
If you are referring to Samuel Beckett, I take that as a compliment. He was a highly intelligent and moral man who could one-up Obama in economic policy and and ‘sensitive’ policies before Obama could sign his name.
You are WAY, WAY too much fun!
Of course Beckett could one-up Obama before Obama learned
to write. *duuur*
Actually, hate to complain, but could you make the next one
challenging?
Wasn’t he the character on Quantum Leap?
o_O You may be onto something!
Stoppard wanted to be Pinter, Pinter wanted to be Beckett, and Beckett wanted to be dead.
Only Beckett got his wish.
Once worked in a place that seemed to be a play by Beckett, based on a work by Kafka, and directed by Pinter…
Wow. What was the lunch room like?
bland
You do remind me of Vladimir or Estragon.
Personally I always thought Beckett had got away with money for old rope, and that he was actually laughing up his sleeve at the people who lauded it as ‘art’…
I’ve always found Trinity men to have, shall we say, a certain way with gulling the proles
And here I was thinking that was exactly why I voted for Obama in the first place.
Hahaha…exactly!
I like the part where you say it’s a “possibly moral reversal” of the policy.
This has nothing to do with domestic issues and everything to do with his snubbing of our greatest allies (PM Brown, for example) and wanting to open up ‘dialog’ with terrorists.
Nice strawman with the stem cells, though.
TBH, the UK is just one of 190 other countries vying for attention. It was less a ‘snub’ and more that there was nothing that needed saying and old Gordie wanted a PR coup for home, where he’s far from popular…
The sooner UK Gov get the idea of a ‘special relationship’ out of its policy making the happier I’ll be…
Ah, parroting the lines straight from Obama. Well done.
It’s ok, its not like the UK is one of our oldest allies and has supported us for decades. They’re no more special than, say, Luxembourg.
Excuse me? We ARE special.
Oh, screw that… we paid you to be in WW2…
Well, no. We lent lots of equipment/money to you so you could be in WWII. We were quite happy to stay out of it until someone
shot a pearl necklaceshot up Pearl Harbor..
Lend Lease Act
.
BTW, you still owe us money and um, we could really use it right about now.
Either that or fix the damn exchange rate so we can all come over to the UK for a holiday and spend what little money we have.
You can see he’s a baller. Hand in the face – you’re doing it right.
You people don’t get it. The entire time Obama’s hand was there, Prime Minister Harper was not attacked by any of those vicious Canada Geese.
Citizens of America, This is Obama’s foreign policy at work.
And?
I think he’s suggesting that Obama should hire better photographers.
He’s going to talk to terrorists and suggest they hire they’re own photographers so they can have better picture angles.
That’s right. He’s blocking the shoe that was thrown at the PM.
*lulz* Great shot! Great caption!
Obama = Fail
Care to qualify, or just crap bombing?
The latter. Or it is a Yuk Yuk. Sorta hard to tell. Sometimes, the dive bomb may have had a humorous intention, but with such a short statement, there is doubt.
I found the brevity of the stupid to be the only redeeming quality.
I was thinking Enfant Provacateur on this one.
Looks like a photographer fail to me….
He would of loss if he was white because very few of the blacks would of voted. This is how it is in this neighborhood, blacks fk’ing everything up and the few whites that fallow them.
Btw, I was looking at a chart in health on how many people reported STDs and 80% of them were black in my area and there are more whites then blacks.
Suggestion: As it appears from your post that you are enrolled in a school of some kind, pay attention in English class.
80% of racists douche nozzles are you. IT’S SCIENCE.
I really hope that’s a nesting fail, as I think (hope) it would make more sense directed to PenguinMan. If not….wtf did I do?
Sorry, it was indeed a nesting fail, user error. My comment was intended for the racist douche nozzle.
*lost, follow, than
Saying that things would be different if he were white leads into a butterfly effect. Yes it’s skin tone but there is a culture associated with it. I can say that my life would be much different if i were black, not because i view one as better or not, but it is a different cultural experience that shapes a different mental model.
Now please return to you high school classwork. it’s apparent that you have been skipping english classes.
damn, diss beat me
Not to mention his use of “would of” instead of “would have”. Yes, you hear it that way…because “would’ve” is a contraction of “would have”.
Also, what you said, FaileV, regarding the actual content…
so… a long time ago you told me that people really wrote “would of” instead of “would’ve”… i didn’t believe you… until now…
For bad quality X: there exists a person with X in sufficient quantity to resemble a parody. It’s a more generalized Poe’s Law

Gift to Gordon Brown: 25 dvd movies to watch on the flight back to London.
Gift to Stephen Harper: Talk to the hand Stephen.
Fantastic!
This is a problem how?
and as a reminder, some of us were more pissed about a certain someone winking at Her Majesty…
Hint — the rest of the world doesn’t give a shit about the feelings of the inbred cousins you keep around to remind you of Empire. (Sure, most of the Commonwealth *says* they care, but really they just pity you and don’t want to hurt your feelings.)
While I do love to comment about the absurdity of a monarchy in the modern times, I find that having it come from you is like hearing financial advice from a man living in a box with his finger up his own @ss at the time of the consultation.
So no, you ruined what fun this post could have been with your prior stance of having no balls when asked to cite your sources…
For what it’s worth, I don’t care about the monarchy either. But, I do appreciate that I get the Queen’s birthday off paid, and salute her good health every year!
That I could actually appreciate…
You know, US-UK relations are a little flaky right now, perhaps if we were to celebrate this holiday as well it would all clear up. In the interest of world peace, you know what I mean?
Am I the only one who can hear/read the name Gordon Brown without thinking “through my mind she runs, through distant lands, takes both my hands, never a frown…”
Nope… happens to me too…
“Prime Minister” is capitalized – protocol fail.
I thought that was part of the joke…
You would… but then, you’re a red necked know nothing who probably can’t tie his shoes without help from someone civilised…
I love how you rant about human decency (which apparently only extends to people you agree with — nice) whilst making petulant little comments to everyone who commented on the lol. Takes one to know one, I guess.
Decency? Who the hell was talking about ‘decency’? I was saying you’re an idiot, you twerp…
> They’re not all… some are decent human beings… it’s just that
> Dhoti fails on the ‘decent human being’ score.
Though I can understand how you would forget what you typed 30 seconds ago…
That was there, not here, you muppet…
But since you’re raking old coals…

I feel I missed a joke that I should really, really laugh at.
It’s from a movie that was, um, somewhat before your time, my adorable young DWN….so don’t feel too bad.
Ah, got it. *blinks*
Hmmm, let’s see. *bites Diss*
Hehe…

Ooooh…

It was one of the Porkys, wasn’t it?
Yes, the original (1981).
Mmm, another satisfied woman. Too bad our sons keep bumping into Lynn’s shoulder or she would enjoy her bite marks more.

Can’t just bite once, ya know?
lol. Reminds me of the “talking to americans” skit from this our has 22 min.
But as a Canadian I’d rather have Obama than Harper.
This *Hour* Has 22 Minutes. Unless you are watching it in French, har har.
As a Canadian I would rather have Satan than Stephen Harper, at least
the devil doesn’t pretend to be nice.
Let he without typo cast the first stone…
I’m actually glad he posted the correction as I was trying to parse out that sentence and figure out what the heck she was talking about. I’ve heard of it, but we don’t get the show here.
I parsed it and I’ve never even heard of the show…
Congrats….I was some where around “our what has 22 minutes” as I thought there was a word left out.
Clearly I need more caffeine.
I speak bad typing like a native born son…
we’ve noticed.
Thanks for the view of the Brain’s Trust… I was worrying that it had been missed…
How’s the world of data entry?

how’s the view from your ivory tower?
Unrelated note, I recently acquired an ivory tower and looking to sell it before certain agencies find me and get rather upset that I ran off with their ivory tower…
It’s not ivory, it’s Chalcendony…
<.<
Sorry folks, just checked and it is Chalcendony…
i always thought it was spelled chalcedony… but hey, my name isn’t webster…
As a Canadian I do find this funny, but having said that, this is more of a poke at Americans,
Politics shouldn’t be a popularity contest,
Just because the American media is obsessed with making money, by turning politicians into celebrities doesn’t mean the American leader is “more important” he is just more well known
BTW Fester, buddeh, how about an intelligent reply now, eh?
wow – you’re emanating canadian liberalism. how patriotic. this is why canada always cleans up at the paralympics…
Don’t forget about Olympic Ice Hockey! We’re pretty good at that too eh
And curling…
There isn’t an Olympic dog sled team is there?
Who knows? Anything that close to the Arctic wastes should be good at stuff involving snow and ice…
As well as the new ‘Hockey for Ladies’
It’s more down to the fact the Americans let their disabled die in the street…
but I’m sure you’ll win one for Uncle Sam in 2012…personally
sorry, i’m canadian.
I’m sorry for Canada then… but personally, I just think you’re a liar.
Funny how the mindless Obama worshipers seem to have time to spend all day on sites like this proving what idiots they are, how much is your monthly welfare take? If people who leach off the government weren’t allowed to vote (and they certainly shouldn’t be) we wouldn’t be stuck with this clown and once he reaches his goal of 50%+ deadbeats, the communist dream will come true.
Ah, the wisdom of the butt hurt retard… always refreshing.
Just finished your trash patrol outside Macs?
Do you work with the disabled? because you seem to be able to identify them quite easily

…. this specimen is either Enfant Provocateur or Ferrous Cranus or Troller but most likely simply Grenade.
I think I will choose Enfant Provocateur because it is French and may make his head explode.
That’s so weird. The only one in my family taking welfare right now is a Libertarian, go figure.
Oh, and before I forget. *pounces on NO_BAMA and hugs him tight* But the Commies loooooooove you!
*wants some Commie love… le sigh*
Like Steve said, you have to be a Commie fearing Troll. Then I try and smother you with the People’s Breasts.
*works on it*
commie’s suck!
.
*looks around for smothering breasts*
Try again, ubr: She said “fearing,” not “hating.”
Ubr, if Jane gets one stuck in there, I’ll be putting a team together to get him out…
Want to be on the list?
DWN and Max I just noted without asking…
That’s because you’re smart and you know me already…
*sniffs* It’s so nice to know I have such a supportive group of friends willing to go the extra mile to pull trolls from my breasts. *gets choked up*
Trolls Jane in hopes of smothering cleavage hugs….
Ooooh, good idea!
*clears throat*
Jane’s breasts couldn’t possibly convince me. Nope, I would need tons of proof. I believe that God places nipples on embryos which gives them the spark of life… and nipples. He also wears gaudy jewelry and smacks women on their period for not being productive in his Hoing business. He has cane and a goatee and nobody’s has a bigger feather.
Also, he doesn’t believe in the power of the Wang or in stem cell research. Um… He thinks all babies are made from Jesus’s underwear and sanctified in the swelling bulges of Jesus’s loins before being flavored in… erm… Cream of Sum Dead Savior.
I dunno… I think you need to throw something in there about America turning Communist.
>.<
I forgot! Um, Obama is going to use those stem cells to each and become a super commie. It will take the power of a Oxycotin infused Limbaugh to stop him. It will be a kung fu fight, I mean Freedom Fight to the finish for the quality of our souls, lest they be squished in delicious commie… darkness… Boobies…
*to eat…
Wow, I feel all this pressure. The People’s Breasts just can’t smother on demand. It’s more stealth smothering, ya know?
NO_BAMA, meet Joe the Plumber.
Funny how the mindless Obama haters seem to have time to spend all day on sites like this proving what idiots they are, how many people did you hire this month? If McCain was in office right now, he would continue to cut taxes for the wealthy, regardless of business ownership, and it still wouldn’t solve the welfare problem. As long as the rich aren’t asked to part with their money, and the poor continue to suffer, your dream has already come true!
Best picture of Stephen Harper ever. Now if Obama would just take two steps to the right, perfect.
His or yours?
…or politically?
Isn’t he supposed to take a jump to the left before he steps to the right?
with his hands on his hips?
and his knees in tight.
Beat me to it…
It’s the pelvic thrusts…They really drove you insayayayne.
And his knees in tight.

I realize the horse is quite dead, and yet I can’t stop myself from beating it…hopefully the horse was the immoral bi-product of equestrian cloning anyway.
@Peachy: I’m very confused why you keep referring to Planned Parenthood in your inane tirades against stem-cell research. The embryos used to perform stem-cell research are not aborted fetuses, they are leftover embryos donated by families who have had embryos created for invitro fertilization. These embryos, unused, would left frozen or discarded – a complete waste of life. Oddly, one doesn’t see throngs of outraged embryo defenders outside of fertility clinics the way that one does outside of abortion clinics.
Also, it is quite a stretch to imply that stem-cell research for the purpose of curing deadly and debilitating diseases will lead to human cloning. Not that you seem to be swayed much by facts, but President Obama has stated that “we will ensure that our government never opens the door to the use of cloning for human reproduction. It is dangerous, profoundly wrong, and has no place in our society or any society.”
PS – and I could be off base here, but I’m pretty sure that Uncle Fester mentioned Samuel Beckett because your posts are absurd, not because you are Beckett’s moral or intellectual equivalent.
That horse was a turrist anyway and furriner. A damn dirty furriner who steal jobs and sleeps with commies, especially Russian aristocracy.
That and PK’s deplorable nesting aside, I loved your post and award you an internet. *gives internet*
Thank you, I’ll treasure it always!
*tucks internet in bra next to copy of communist manifesto*
A good place for it. Internets love warmth and soft places.
Just like socialists!
Hey…what’s President Obama doing in my bra!?!?!
Presidential duty madam, best to let him and his secret service men continue… While I run this camera… Um, for the archives. I’m with the crew.
>.>
Not to worry, I’m a patriot. Ask not what your country can do for you, ask how many of your countrymen you can fit in your bra, that’s my motto. Yes we can!
They might have to… *cough* Investigate the rest of your body in quivering detail… For Justice and Freedom! More than once… *mutters*becausewehaventseenagangbanginalongtime*cough*
Damn, stupid cough just hasn’t left me. I should be fine for filming though.
<.<
Well, Freedom isn’t free! And neither is Justice, just ask my parole officer.
Anway, I’ve often dreamed of getting into public orafice. I mean office.
OR DO I?
That cough sounds bad, almost as though you have a gang bang stuck in your throat. Here, try one of these WhoreBeGone lozenges. They work on Ann Coulter too!
Awesome. *takes lozenge and rolls film of subsequent investigation… keeps a copy for home use and makes sure that Suicide Blonde gets her 50% cut from the internet film sales*
*wonders if film qualifies as public service, makes note to email David Plouffe with inquiry*
Oh yes, it demonstrates government at its rawest level…
I think I love you…
*blushes*
Aw shucks!
Hmmm, we might need footage of you both… For the archives. >.>
I hope she’s jewish…
And a socialist…
…who enjoys long walks on the beach, candlelight dinners, and the harvesting of human eggs for scientific experiments.
Yes, yes, I am sure she is all of those things and more. Rolling film…
And penis colliders.
There’s limited marketability for that type of film. I think DWN’s will be more profitable. Everyone loves hot Socialist on Socialist action.
Of course, I could do additional filming to cover my bases with some special interest markets.
Did you know that anal isn’t even considered a fetish?
But perhaps I’ve said too much…
I am not surprised. It has become rather popular in an underground kind of way. A lot of people I’ve met have tried it at least twice and plans to do it again. And with the prevalence of gays, it wouldn’t be right to call it a fetish since it is a mainstay with the gay menfolk.
No worries about saying too much, sometimes you just need the squeal that is only found on the dirt road.
Well… I’m not jewish, more agnostic with some leanings towards atheism.
Well, as long as you’re comfortable answering for the lost souls of stem cell clusters, I think we can still make this work.
Well said. You took all of the loud arguments that ran through my head as I was reading that post, and articulated them into a well thought out, much less garbled reply!
Is the caption supposed to be funny?
I’m still not smiling or laughing so I don’t know. And all I see are a bunch of lost souls spewing all their science beliefs as if science can explain everything. Sad, sad.
Like religion explains a single thing… There again, at least your god tells you who to hate, which is handy…
Sorry, my god doesn’t teach me to hate anyone. Shows how much you know what you’re talking about.
Learned that all on your own, did you?
Explain things like … religion, mayhap?
(First find on google was The New Zealand Herald, I bet someone else might be inclined to find better hits.)
Science isn’t based on beliefs, it’s based on imperical evidence. You know. Facts.
It’s based on empirical evidence, too
Yeah and that!
I believe in God, but I still believe he created science. I believe he created a very primitive basis of life and left it to figure itself out. “Talking” to people on here and getting exposed to other beliefs in college I still believe a lot of Biblical truths, but I also believe in evolution. If you believe in creationism, that is your choice, but I know how easy it is to be narrow-minded.
does any one else think that Steven Harper looks like he a robot?
You mean he’s not?
Oh dear God, my entire worldview has been shattered… Martin lost to a HUMAN!!!
*goes over to corner to weep*
Yeah so dead babies, God and general religious fights aside, YAY our Prime Minster was on here (kinda…sorta?)
Woot Canada!
Thank you Mr. President for hiding our PM from view. Would you like his job? You can have it. PLEASE take it!!!!!
Dear Mr Obama,… please do all you can to obscure and keep our PM from showing his face in public again.
Obama. He’s a very nice fellow, having the kindness to block the stupidest Canadian from speaking on television, and making the rest of us look like idiots.
Smooth move, Mr. Prez.
Maybe when Canada gets another Trudeau…
Speaking of which, no American president compares to that guy.
ha! caption fail. That’s no the Prime Minister of Canada, it’s the PM of Australia, Kevin Rudd
No, that’s Stephen Harper, Canada’s wannabe Emperor.
As a Canadian, Harper’s a nobody compared with ANYONE in our borders.
Aww you forgot to draw an analogy to members of the republican base being inbred hicks.
They’re not all… some are decent human beings… it’s just that
Dhoti fails on the ‘decent human being’ score. Scores highly on the loud mouthed idiot scale, who seems never to establish anything other than his own, stultifying ignorance… Not sure which is worse, the fact he can vote or the fact he may breed…
I know, right? I thought that was an obvious setup too.
That’s because you’re trite, you twit…
That’s actually really funny, coming from the guy who found a way to work a mention to George Bush into a completely unrelated topic…
More butt hurt whining… you want social faux pas, then the Bush family figures large… But then you’re just upset since the won’t let you eat the bits from the bottom of the donut fryer… You really should be better with the mop…
Link!
Thanks, TheSteve…now I have this [link] stuck in my head.
“creatures of unnatural proportions”? wtf are you on about? the cells you’re referring to do not even make it out of the laboratory… right now abortion is legal in the US and we’re discussing embryos? if you really had a bone to pick with anyone it’s with the supreme court…
LOL–Jinx on you and Unc, and I was thinking the same
thing before I checked your links!
GMTA!!
Win! Diss, I hoped I knew what that was going to be before I even clicked the link…in fact I kept thinking about that song as I was typing my reply.
Well done Diss. Well done.
The Frankenstein canard…
Personally, I think having an extra set of arms would be awesome.
“I don’t want nature tampered with.”
Do you take birth control, antibiotics, allergy medication, have you been vaccinated against measles, polio, etc.?
You’re tampering with nature.
If you think that experimenting with stem cells is going to bring about the T-virus and a zombie apocalypse, fine. I can understand your concern, vote NO on gun control!
You expressed an interest in horse breeding, then
pitch a fit because we’re being “unnatural.” If you
put your money where your mouth is, you wouldn’t
be so quick to play god with who makes babies
with whom, now would you?
Set the horses free, and let them decide how to
breed. Fences and breeding aren’t natural!!!
(See what I did there?)
POE
Why isn’t my army of clones growing the extra limbs I need to make this possible?!
When I’m carrying something with both hands I frequently think it would be nice to have a spare arm, but then I realize that I’d probably just be carrying something in it and be wishing for another.
Aw, we got the ESPN going!
the thing i don’t get is…we’ve tested on humans before, full grown adults. isn’t it unnatural to give a man a prosthetic and allow his mind to reprogram itself so he can have a working arm again? experimental surgery is an experiment on a person, shall we stop all of that as well?
I just can’t understand that sentiment. it makes me wonder how much they care about what is natural if they needed a cure, like a pace maker, or a donated heart or something. that’s a life for a life, when you need a heart, kidney, or liver will you be decrying the unnatural?
Most pro-lifers only care about life when it’s in the womb. After that, all bets are off.
Carlin: They want live babies so they can make dead soldiers…

@Jane
Dunno how much of an SF fan you are, but try and find a book called ‘The Death Guard’ by Philip George Chadwick.
As far as I know, it was only published the once, in the 1990s, having been lost for over 50 years due to the Blitz destroying the first print run
It’s not dated ‘well’ but even so, it’s an interesting read…
BTW, it’s so obscure that even Wiki has only indirect mentions of the book
[LINK] Amazon
Pricey book: $166 for a new paperback?
Ouch! I’m always on for good recommendations, but that might be outside my current budget. I will write it down and leave it for my mother’s rare book Christmas list for Alyssa that we do every year.
Well, they also had a couple of used copies at about $26 but it definietely seems to be a rare book!
Hell, the majority of food one can get in the supermarket has so many unnatural chemicals in it. Even if you’re buying veggies and all natural ingredients the farmers use pesticides. So unless she’s a total organic vegan hippie I’d wager she does something against nature every day. It was nothing but a pat answer to hid the fact that she’s basing her opinion on religion.
I for one don’t want anyone telling *me* I can’t breed with my horse!
Poe on steroids.
*runs over in a huff after filming Suicide Blonde, Jane, and the President and his bodyguards*
Dammit, so many filming opportunities. Okay… *catches breath*
Ready when you are for your um…. Close up.
Norma’s dream of performing for the cameras has in an unexpected way come true for her.
*catches the touching story of a Pittypat and her horse on film. Sells to internet crowd and sends Pittypat her 50% cut.*
50% cut? Nope, no way, I want the whole damn foreskin thank you very much.
fantastic, you win an internet for being willing to do more logical research
Thank David Attenborough, he taught me to start believing in science.
He gets death threats from Fundies… it’s sad really…
Oh, and the Japanese have just (past 24 hours according to NHK International) announced that they’ve perfected a method of getting stem cells from skin of patients, so there is no ‘embryo’ in ‘embryonic stem cells’ – just in the name. It’s like serotonin is called a ‘neuropetide’ even though it’s now known to be used more in the Gastro-intestinal tract than it is the brain, since it was first identified in the brain as an emotion related neuro-transmitter.
“i don’t want nature tampered with”… wtf does that even mean? nature is one of the most diabolical systems in the history of the world… i think it will be just fine without you standing up for it…
.
btw, did you know that using anything made with synthetics is tampering with nature? most of the electricity in nevada and southern california comes from tampering with nature… did you know that genetic mutations occur on a daily basis?
.
you’ve either read too much scifi, or not enough…
on a slippery slope
possibly with some gamma radiation effects
*Hugs Uncle Fester*
looks like you need that
*jumps into a tub of boiling bleach*
almost clean
Add me to the GMTA list, please!
Here, have a Brillo Pad
That’s pretty clever. Science advances every day, and here I thought my skin was just that stuff that kept my guts in and made my bathroom gross and provided hours of fascination with slides under my microscope. (Thank you, Nasco)
