      Well they were a bunch of crazies, idiots, freaks and hypocrites?

          And ObaMao , Pelosi and Reid are not ?

          • Sqwirk says:

            I guess if you’re a genetically compromised conservative yourself you might not be so weirded out by how they look but to normal people they look strange.

            Even the so-called ‘attractive’ ones look peculiar and odd. For example, Mitt Romney looks semi-normal from some angles (not face forward) but his kids look freakish.

            The only comparably freaky looking democrat I can think of would be John Kerry and you can blame his Forbes family genes for that.

            I’m not talking about a person being hot vs being ‘plain’. Republicans just have more visible genetic ‘oddities’, they’re quite plain to see to anyone with a training in medical genetics.

            • LULZ! Whatev! Generalizing, much? This dude looks like he was molded out of a turd shoved through the Fuzzy-Pumper Barbershop!

              • Sqwirk says:

                I wouldn’t be surprised if there was a gene with the name Fuzzy-Pumper Barbership :)

                          …because really, your witty and obscure references are simply to esoteric for this poor plebeian n00b.

                          ISB- Are you the male, plebeian version of n10bette?

                        • It's so obvious! says:

                          Nope. But do continue to interpose your witty reparte. It’s so refreshingly disconsonant.

                        • Disconsonant? Pfft. There are plenty of consonants in that post!

                        • It's so obvious! says:

                          @ Wino: what’s your dealieo? Why are you so insistent upon pigeonholing me to fit within your neat little utopian parameters? Are you OCD?

                        • Wino says:

                          That was intended as a joke, since n10bette used teh name n00bette until New Years, but whatever. Next time I will include some sort of [JOKE] indicator in my repartee.

                        • Wino says:

                          hah – get it… n00bette is a girl because her name includes ette. You said n00b without ette so you must be a male… Admittedly not very funny. But that is how I role. Look at my posts on previous pages. Full of corniness. Sorry if you interpret my comments as pigeonholing.

                          In general, my comments on PK should be interpreted as intended humor. I am pretty unfunny, but I do intend humor.

                        • oɹɹɐɥɔ says:

                          OCD isn’t really something to be taken lightly or to toss around casually.

                        • It's so obvious! says:

                          I wasn’t kidding. He seemed to want me categorized, which eases the uncertainty, from my understanding.

                        • oɹɹɐɥɔ says:

                          It really has nothing to do with uncertainty. OCD is an anxiety disorder, and the overt compulsions that people have (washing hands, organizing things what have you) are done to ease the anxiety. When something (the compulsion) is not being dealt with/done, the person experiences extreme anxiety: heart palpitations, sweaty hands, a sense of panic. The only way to calm this is the repetitive act of completing the overt compulsion. The major attribute of OCD is that it interferes with your day-to-day functioning. People cannot hold down jobs, go to school, keep a relationship etc., without (drug and/or behavioural) therapy.

                          While it may seem a little anal retentive to see someone as persistently trying to categorise or “pigeon hole”, likely that is not a manifestation of the disorder. He lacks the response of panic, anger and frustration that is associated with depriving someone of their compulsion.

                          Please don’t think I am personally attacking you – I know someone with OCD – and the persistent incidences of people in this society to call people’s quirks “OCD” irritates me because it shows they lack understanding about the disorder itself. Which, again, is not a personal defect, I just try to educate where I can.

                          A sidenote – my cousin in law is on my FB as is his wife (which I guess is also my cousin in law LOL) and she posted one of those retarded FB quizzes that was “How OCD are you?” and in the “diagnosis” it said “You are super OCD lol!” It took a lot but I refrained from commenting about the insensitivity of saying “You have OCD – lol!” because it really is a crippling disorder for those afflicted.

                        • It's so obvious! says:

                          Consider me educated. And appreciative.

                          Charro… have I told you how much I love you lately?

                        • oɹɹɐɥɔ says:

                          ISO – you are most welcome.

                          Janie – I love you too.

                        • Default User says:

                          I am technically not OCD as my insistence on putting books in numerical order not only doesn’t interfere with my job, it is my job. Though I have issues with a series on the five senses as the dewey decimal classification doesn’t match the order the publishers put them in. I want to put them in order, but no matter what I do they are always out of order! I really really really want to get them re-cataloged as a series, then they all get one dewey number then I can put them in order whitout putting them out of order. *whines*

                        • oɹɹɐɥɔ says:

                          My CDs used to be alphabetically organised and within the alphabetical organisation was chronological.

                          Then, I spent a lot of time DJing in my room drunk and high and now they aren’t in order anymore. I very badly want them to be reorganised, but when I look at my collection (800+!), it makes me want to cry in frustration.

                        • mabsba says:

                          I put our CDs into alphabetical order just because I hate spending time looking for things (no sub-ordering, though), then my husband pulled out a lot to put on the Ipod, and now I can’t find anything. Plus I have some very strange music on my Ipod.

                        • oɹɹɐɥɔ says:

                          *skerk* :shock:

                          iPod. :-)

                        • mabsba says:

                          Oh, phbttttttttt. Picking on the poor dyslexic. ‘Sides, it such an old iPod that it probably doesn’t deserve to be called one any more.

                        • Put 800+ CDs in alphabetical order? Dude. That would totally make my day…er, couple days most likely. I like to sort things. I used to take a jar of change and put all the coins into order by date and type of coin. Then, when I was done, I’d put them away again. As charro explained, I don’t think I have OCD…but I am rather quirky.

                        • oɹɹɐɥɔ says:

                          You’re welcome to come over at any time and sort my CDs.

                          And bring Jack in the Box. :-D

                        • Default User says:

                          I have a friend who had a 500 disc CD binder and it was completely in alphabetical order. It made me so happy. Charro: If I were to go to your house I would actually start putting your CDs in order until you stopped me. I do it at my friends house with their books and it drives them nuts. I just want the series’ to be together! All the Harry Potter, all the wheel of time together…I really can’t stand an authors books being all over the place.

                        • oɹɹɐɥɔ says:

                          I have many less books than CDs, and in four separate places in the house. So, they are in order, in clumps, around the house.

                          You are also welcome to come organise. It can be a party!

                        • Naoyusimi says:

                          Mabs: How could you NOT sub-classify them in chronological order of the album release? OMG, what’s WRONG with you?
                          (I’m only partly kidding. :) )

                        • Jane St.Clair Glamorous First Lady of PK says:

                          You just haven’t lived until you find yourself rearranging book in the bookstore. When you’re there as a customer.

                        • dissimilitude says:

                          I actually like my books and cds on the shelf randomly. It’s a little trickier if you’re looking for something specific, but more fun for being browsy.

                Well, it could be Dianetics.

                • Dhoti is wanted by the Cheezburger Police says:

                  Frankly, and sadly, I’ll take that over “my political opponents are genetically inferior” any day. There’s really no non-frightening way to interpret that…

                  • oɹɹɐɥɔ says:

                    All of that plus.. Scientology has the stupidest premise ever. Reminiscent of Hale Bopp and Heaven’s Gate.. But more preposterous. I mean “Xenu, also Xemu (pronounced /ˈziːnuː/[1][2][3]) was, according to the founder of Scientology and science fiction writer L. Ron Hubbard, the dictator of the “Galactic Confederacy” who, 75 million years ago, brought billions[4][5] of his people to Earth in a DC-8-like spacecraft, stacked them around volcanoes and killed them using hydrogen bombs. Official Scientology dogma holds that the essences of these many people remained, and that they form around people in modern times, causing them spiritual harm” … … Really!?

                    • mabsba says:

                      But if you take the classes (for big BIG $), you can get ‘cleared’ of those evil influences. :)

                      To be fair, buying your way into heaven (or wherever Scientologists want to go) is not exactly new. There’s a church in Shropshire built by one of my ancestors in the 12th century. He was, according to his tomb in the church, ‘sometimes indiscreet in his ways.’ *snort*

                    • oɹɹɐɥɔ says:

                      Oh, it’s not the buying your way into heaven. I remember the scene in “Prince of Thieves” where Friar Tuck gives uh.. Whoever that guy was.. “30 pieces of silver, to pay the devil, on your way to hell!”

                      Also, the old school rites of coins on the eyes, burying treasures with the pharaohs..

                      But.. I mean.. “the dictator of the “Galactic Confederacy” who, 75 million years ago, brought billions of his people to Earth in a DC-8-like spacecraft, ” … … Really?

                    • Default User says:

                      Not only was he a science fiction writer, but he was a bad one too! Ugh, his ‘religion’ is just has bad as his books. Ever read Battlefield Earth? No? Good. Don’t.

                    • oɹɹɐɥɔ says:

                      I did read Battlefield Earth, and I read Dianetics too. I also read two of his earlier works, Slaves of Sleep and The Masters of Sleep (my dad had them and by the time I was 10 I gave up reading “kids” or “tween” books) and I seem to recall enjoying them.

                      I re-read Battlefield Earth before that trainwreck of a movie came out (saving grace? Barry Pepper. He’s hot), and I still enjoyed it. On a brain candy level. It was fun to read (IMHO).

                      Then, later in life (about 19 or so) I heard about “Scientology” and re-read Dianetics. I read it from a purely entertainment value standpoint – while not the best written book, I have to give him some credit. He was a pretty decent author (IMHO) before he decided that Dianetics was real. Or, more to the point, before he decided to convince others that Dianetics was real.

                      I guess because I grew up on Asimov, Bradbury, Crichton, that sort of “Old School” sci-fi appeals to me.

                    • Jane St.Clair Glamorous First Lady of PK says:

                      Charlie has tried for years to get me into sci-fi and I just can’t do it. I love fantasy and I just can’t stand science fiction. The only thing I’ve read that was classified sci-fi that I liked was Ender’s Game and the sequel Speaker for the Dead by Orson Scott Card. There’s more to that series but I couldn’t finish Xenocide and gave up on it.

                    • mabsba says:

                      I find Hubbard’s writing just ‘meh.’ I also read all the ‘classic’ old authors when I was younger. Last year I re-read all the Foundation books (Asimov) because my son was reading them. Best part, imo, of having a kid, sharing really cool stuff with him. Also that you can play with toys as an adult, and no one thinks you’re weird. (“Right, yeah, I’m buying that for my kid. Sure.”)

                      At least not for that….

                    • Default User says:

                      I like the old school sci-fi, I just absolutely couldn’t stand Battlefield Earth. I feel like it was needlessly long, should have been divided into two books(after they kick the psychlos off the planet would have been the ending point for book one). The main character just absolutely annoyed me. Everything he did was perfect, he could do nothing wrong. The way he wrote his villains really annoyed me too. Limper was basically picked on and tormented to kingdom come because of a birth defect and so he went off and was all evil and trying to self-righteously destroy Johnny. I something about that character was just so…meh. I don’t know how to describe it, but he just didn’t seem real as a villain. The banker/shark aliens were just weird.

                      I like Asimov better. Or Heinlein. His early works are absolutely awesome in a bad scifi way. Rocketship Gallaleo was great, they build a rocket in their backyard, go to the moon and fight nazis. How do you beat something like that?

                    • oɹɹɐɥɔ says:

                      Orson Scott Card and Frank Herbert (who can forget Dune?) are also on the list..

                      I’m kind of the opposite, I’m more sci-fi than fantasy. But I have a problem with my favourite series of all time (of all time!) Darkover, while generally classified as “sci-fi” it has a lot of what I consider “fantasy” elements. But, it’s still some good reading. I finally finished collecting the whole series! Took ten years, but I did it!

                    • oɹɹɐɥɔ says:

                      Well DU, I get what you’re saying. The character development did leave something to be desired, fo sho. I still enjoyed it. But, I tend to enjoy most books I read when I am reading them for pleasure, as well as movies and TV. I try to not get all intellectual. If it keeps me interested, I’ll like it. I’ve not enjoyed few books in my life and only have a few that I just could not get through no matter how hard I tried.

                      You’re right about Heinlein! AWESOME! Who could forget that!

                    • mabsba says:

                      I like both. I read the Darkover books a LONG time ago and have listened to a lot of them recently since the library got them on audio. For newer authors, well, Terry Pratchett is the king in our house.

                    • mabsba says:

                      BTW, Asimov’s autobiography I remember as being pretty interesting. I learned a lot about the early years of science fiction as a genre from it. I can’t swear to how well written it is since that was *cough cough* a few decades ago.

                    • Maxwell Silverhammer Beatlist Pope John Paul George Ringo the First says:

                      I remember reading Ender’s Game when I was back in high school, freshman year I think. No other book to this day has sent a chill up my spine like when Ender found out the true meaning of the training simulator game he and his friends had been playing. I just shuddered when I read it. No other book has ever done that for me.

                    • oɹɹɐɥɔ says:

                      For some reason, when I read “Sphere” (Michael Crichton – if anyone didn’t know), it scared the bejesus out of me.

                      I don’t know why. But the first time I read it, when I was done, I was terrified.

                      I love it when books do that to me.

                    • Default User says:

                      My favorite part about Asimov’s life life story is how he came to America. At the age of two he was already a practiced smuggler of illegal immigrant children. :D

                      I read one of the Darkover trilogies (The fall of Neskaya, A flame in Hali, and one other) and just couldn’t get through the third book, it just seemed like no matter what happened things wouldn’t end up well :(

                    • mabsba says:

                      The books earlier in the series are much better. They don’t have all that weird mystic stuff that the author got into later. Just good adventure mixed with matrix powers.

                    • oɹɹɐɥɔ says:

                      Everything written after Sharra’s Exile (or Sword of Aldones which was rewritten to Sharra’s Exile) was in collaboration with two other authors, Debra J. Ross and Adrienne Martine-Barnes. So, Exile’s Song, The Shadow Matrix and Traitor’s Sun were all will Adrienne Martine-Barnes and The Clingfire Trilogy, The Alton Gift and Hastur Lord (just released!!!) were with Deborah J. Ross.

                      That rather explains the significant style change.

                    • oɹɹɐɥɔ says:

                      Oh, uh, I don’t actually know if Sharra’s Exile was the last book she wrote before collaborating, but when you put the series itself in “chronological order”, that’s how it works out.

                      Also, MZB is dead. Hence all the collaborating and “artistic license”.

                    • Jane, give anything by Larry Niven or Jerry Pournelle a try (I highly recommend Lucifer’s Hammer or Ringworld!) Also give James P. Hogan a go. Those are the three that pretty much got me hooked on Sci-Fi.

                    • mabsba says:

                      Charro, yeah, you can certainly tell how MZB’s influence fades away. It seems as if her name is the only part of her in some of those later books, more like ghosting than collaborating.

                    • Naoyusimi says:

                      Jane: I just thought of a couple of science fiction books that you might like. They have elements which seem like fantasy. (I love books that blend the two.) One is John Varley’s Titan series. It starts in space, with a crew who “crash” on a “world” . . . they find out it’s run by a capricious god. Check it out. Very, very neat. One of the races the god creates has unique ways of procreation, and, depending on the method used, name their offspring according to musical theory . . . after “chords”, and “trios”, “duos”, and “solos”, and “madrigals” and . . . well, just read it!

                      Also, Julian May’s Saga of Pliocene Exile. I think I mentioned this one before: it uses time-travel to get back to the Pliocene, but when the humans get to the Pliocene Earth, they find it’s inhabited by two races from another galaxy. Those two races have a feudal society, are advanced, yet rely on metapsychic powers most of all. But so do the humans . . . the aliens have torqs to amplify those powers, though (Celtic influence? Yeah, wait till you read it!) . . . very colorful and dramatic and funny and exciting–something for everyone.

                    • Default User says:

                      Lois McMasters Bujold is great. She does both sci fi and fantasy. She’s one of my favorites.

                    • oɹɹɐɥɔ says:

                      Mabs, from what I understand, she was dying. She had a several of half written, half though manuscripts and did a lot of “dictating” (at least to Deborah J. Ross) in terms of where she saw the story go. I know she wanted to continue the Lew Alton/Regis Hastur – conflict with the Terrnas – line, and also she very much wanted to do some more on the Ages of Chaos, which leaves me thinking she did what she could, as fast as she could before she died thus leaving the other two to “piece it together”. So, I think you’re right “ghosting” may be more appropriate. I believe she actually died before “Shadow Matrix” was released.

                      Eds: Larry Niven & Jerry Pournelle? Two more off my dad’s shelf! A lot of these authors I actually don’t own, it never occurred to me when I had money that I might someday move away from my hometown, and thus my parent’s bookshelves. I would constantly go to my mom’s or dad’s to borrow books. One newer author I got from my dad – Kay Kenyon. The first one I read by her “Seeds of Time” was extremely well written and a page turner, though the ending was sadly predictable. Though, I enjoyed her writing so much I took a chance and got “Braided World” and “Maximum Ice”, which I did enjoy immensely.

                      Another of my favourite authors – Joan D. Vinge. I read her “Cat” series when I was a teen, and I loved them (I’ve read Catspaw at least a dozen times), and I moved on to her Snow Queen cycle. “Snow Queen” itself was amazing, “Summer Queen” and “Tangled Up In Blue” were also good, and I just got the second book in the cycle “World’s End”, which I haven’t read yet.

                      A few newer Sci-Fi/Cyberpunk authors I enjoy: Neal Stephenson, Bruce Sterling, William Gibson and Stephen Calder.

                      Gods I love books.

      Bill is horny
      Hillary is crazy
      Bush r dumb
      McCain is old
      Cheney is evil
      Putin is also evil but in a more awesome way

      There are more than that but these are the most basic and elemental. I might also add that you seek therapy for this persecution complex you seem to have.

            • dissimilitude says:

              We live in a country where people genuinely believe a lot of stupid things (e.g. “the moon landing was fake,” “the Psychic Hotline will give me really good advice and won’t cost too much,” “Hey, I got an email that says it’s from the IRS, I’d better open the attachment,” or “the key to health is paying somebody to hose out your lower intestine.”). Given this, I think it’s highly unlikely that there aren’t some people stupid enough to think they’re going to get “free” health care.

              Actually, I’d bet the average Medicaid recipient thinks they’re already getting “free” medical care.

        • Dhoti the anti EWAdamsist says:

          Of course not, troll. It’s not free – but the “rich” will foot the bill.

      • It's so obvious! says:

        My cat sleeps about 20 hours a day.
        He has his food prepared for him.
        He can eat whenever he wants, 24/7/52.
        His meals are provided at no cost to him..
        He visits the Dr. once a year for his checkup, and again during the year if any medical needs arise.
        For this he pays nothing, and nothing is required of him.
        He lives in a nice neighborhood in a house that is much larger than he needs, but he is not required to do any upkeep.
        If he makes a mess, someone else cleans it up.
        He has his choice of luxurious places to sleep.
        He receives these accommodations absolutely free.
        He is living like a king, and has absolutely no expenses whatsoever.
        All of his costs are picked up by others who go out and earn a living every day.
        I was just thinking about all this, and suddenly it hit me like a brick in the
        head.

        Holy dogfish, my cat is a Democrat!

        • viking gal says:

          Nope. Your cat is a slaveholder. You are a slave.
          If your cat were a Democrat, he would be willing to pay a portion of his income as taxes, so as to ascertain that kittens and elderly cats would not suffer the result of having been abandoned by their owners.

                          Comparing what dogs do with what cats do is like comparing bashing two rocks together with advanced neurosurgery. The dog at least acts as though he/she loves you and can’t stand to spend a moment away from you. The cat can’t even be bothered to acknowledge you exist unless there is food involved and you still spoil it rotten.

                        • viking gal says:

                          Not with all cats. I’ve had a couple who are almost dog-like with the overt affection. The others show affection, but less obviously. One cat used to sit at my feet with ‘please let me join you?’ eyes, until asked up on the sofa. Cats aren’t all that classifiable!

                          My kitty must be in the same room with me at all times. She doesn’t have to do anything to acknowledge me, she just has to be in the same room. She also likes to great me when I come home from work. Where I used to live she would sit in the window and wait for me to come home. She’s also lazy enough that if I stick my feet under her when she’s sleeping in the middle of my bed she won’t actually move, which means I have a great foot warmer. :P

Clearly, if you’d have used those awesome literary skills you would realize Jane is not a “people” she is a “person” Therefore, when I said “people”, I meant everyone else you’ve trolled throughout this thread.

            When mine had too many babies to feed, we tied her tubes and said (in a Cartman voice) ” No Kitty !!! This is MY pot pie !”

      • Wino says:

        You cat is a rich, ivy-league educated snob from MA? Wait, stereotypes not computing.

        What’s with all the ridiculous accusations today D?

        • Dhoti the anti EWAdamsist says:

          Wait, everyone from MA is a rich, Ivy League snob? Hey, that’s your stereotype, not mine.

          Here’s what I was saying — it looks like the MA Senate race will be a close election. Democrats steal close elections. Therefore, I wouldn’t be surprised if my cat turned out to “vote” in the election.

          • Wino says:

            No, no!!32 Froth !234 Froth 2134oi45098450! Republicans steal close elections !!!! remember BUSH v. Gore.

            Ok, seriously. How many of the people you stereotyped as democrats even vote? What’s with all the accusations of people’s troll-ness? Why are you so angry today? If the Democrat wins, is it automatically going to be stolen in your eyes (before the results are even in)?

            • Dhoti the anti EWAdamsist says:

              Accusations, plural? One accusation — I accused forge of being a troll. (Which he is.) Singular.

              Do you always assume people you disagree with are angry? Does it make it easier to tune them out?

              • Wino says:

                Here are the accusations I pulled from your posts on this page.
                “wow, you are an idiot”
                - — biff is incapable of understanding that CNN does not equal “Cheney News Network”
                -all people on welfare are lazy and stupid thus being democrats
                -democrats steal close elections
                -democrats have brains the size of testicles.

                Admittedly, this list is not as long as I expected from my initial glance at the page.

                I tend to assume that people who immediately start throwing derogatory comments in with their responses are angry. Maybe it is not the best word.

                Note: my calling people angry has nothing to do with political affiliation. There are plenty of angry liberal-libertarians out there. I just haven’t had the chance to ask them why they are angry on pk.

                • Dhoti the anti EWAdamsist says:

                  Notice that the quotes were in response to existing derogatory insults. And as for the cat/Democrat jokes — who among you can resist setups like those?

                • In all fairness the last two aren’t accusations, just closer to the truth.. *snicker*

                  • Wow, those must be some huge balls then.

                        Based on your own standard D, Rando (a self-avowed Dem.) was accused of having a brain the size of cat testicles. He responded in kind.

                        btw – “It’s so obvious” == Dhoti? Neither seems to be online at the same time.

                      • Dhoti is wanted by the Cheezburger Police says:

                        It’s referring to something else entirely.

                        Why are you wasting your keen deductive powers here, instead of using them to go hunt for Osama or something?

                      • Wino says:

                        I’m a democrat – I don’t believe in violence. Just wasting the welfare state.

                      • It's so obvious! says:

                        ZOMG CONSPIRACY THEORY FTW!!! U CAWT ME!!
                        Lay off the brain-brine, Wino.

                      • Dhoti is wanted by the Cheezburger Police says:

                        Very interesting, Wino. Leaving OBL to rot in a federal prison — which is the Democratic party line for what to do with the guy, right? — isn’t an inherently violent act.

                        You sound like you’re starting to get agitated. Maybe you should go out and chill for a bit.

                        I’m also disappointed that no one has yet to accuse me of being in any type of Victpher situation. (Free high-fives to anyone who gets that reference.)

                      • Wino says:

                        People in prison don’t typically rot. From what I understand of the standard Repub. criticism of the prison system is that it is too expensive; inmates are treated too well.

                        There was no harm in asking. ISO seems to have a similar style of argument. Neither of you posted within a few minutes of each other until now.

                      • n10bettes says:

                        Osama will get foot baths and Kosher meals in prison. He’ll get a book deal and do interviews and eventually get out on some sort of technicality because someone didn’t read him his miranda rights… No rotting in prison for him.

                        Rando, I hate to point it out, but you aren’t calling yourself Amazing right now! :P

                      • Just because it’s not in my name doesn’t mean I don’t still call myself amazing. ;)

                        Apparently they do have testes, and apparently the Right Whale’s testes can weigh over a ton. I think that definitely qualifies as TMI.

                        Mabs: If talking to me, I meant average human brain is about 1,300 grams.

                      • mabsba says:

                        Ah, Nao, I thought you meant the testicles were that size. It seemed like an odd bit of trivia to know. :)

                      • Naoyusimi says:

                        Another odd bit of trivia? Your liver is often heavier than your brain.

                        Ugh. No offense, but ugh. I visited a friend while he was attending med school, and he wanted to show me ‘his’ cadaver.

    Why don’t we hear about that whackjob that shot up our military at Ft. Hood? Oh no, the real evil here is Cheney. Let’s hear more about Cheney.

    • charro says:

      Well, actually, they did put up a pic of Ft. Hood back around when it happened and (oddly enough) there was a majority of folks who felt it was TOOOOOO SOOOOOONN!!!!11 (which, because it was like the next day, I think it actually was).

      So, in conclusion, beer. Oh, I mean, I think they may have just been avoiding that subject since. But it’s been a while, maybe now?

      Also, beer. And Xanax. Preferably together with some Vicodin.

      • n10bettes says:

        Well, I guess I meant in the news, because someone up above mentioned Cheney was in the news recently. But, my bad for not responding directly to that convo… Oh, and many happy beers to you too. But, those drugs are bad for you.

        • charro says:

          Pffffffffff. Drugs? Bad? For ME? I’m immune to the badness of drugs. Don’t you read my postings?* Silly n10bettes.

          I actually have a prescription for these, the Vicodin I had to get the other day because my Doosh of a landlord has not salted my front walk in forever and I slid on a patch of ice and landed flat on my back. It was excruciating. Actually, it still kind of is.

          But I don’t really drink anymore, so I’m not going to mix with alcohol, because if I learned one thing from YEARS of drug and alcohol abuse I learned this: Xanax + Vicodin + Liquor = coma for at least three days. Liberal as I am I actually have a job and I don’t think they’d appreciate Charro Coma for three days. LOL.

            You made me laugh, however, because one of my tutoring students had the flu last month and I was helping her catch up over the weekend. She seemed kind of unfocused, and finally I asked what they gave her for the residual cough — cough medicine with code1ne. :)

                    Mom said it is very good for teething pains (not a shot, just applied topically). Of course, they didn’t have oragel back then.

                          The rum is always gone when I’m around.

                          I’ve learned the hard way, however, that any amount of alcohol is REALLY bad for me when I’m sick. The same for exercise. My immune system must be really sensitive to anything that depresses it.

                        • mabsba says:

                          Ah, I believe if VG is substituting rum for rubbing alcohol, she’s not suggesting drinking it. :)

                          As for drinking, the only thing I can think of that actually works is hot tea with honey, lemon and whiskey for a sore throat/cough. The whiskey acts as a local analgesic. But in general, I believe that’s true for everyone.

                          I don’t have any rum, sorry; you are welcome to share my Baileys — assuming you are not sick. I wouldn’t want to make you sicker. ;)

      • charro says:

        I do also remember the outcry about the Wal-Mart tramplings last Christmas. I guess it’s easier to make fun of people who caused thousands-millions (depending on you asked) of deaths in a second hand fashion, than it is to make fun of someone who went berserk and shot up a military base.

        I mean, would we make fun of Timothy McVeigh? I dunno now that I think about it. Would we?

          It’s the only way to dull the horror of him.

        • Dhoti is wanted by the Cheezburger Police says:

          It’s different when you’re not talking about the person who actually pulled the trigger. (Unless you’re a Truther, but then you’ve got worse problems.)

          On the other hand, Achmed the Dead Terrorist is damn funny, so that kind of shoots a hole in that theory.

          • brak the wanna be zombie says:

            No joke is unfunny or inappropriate (HATE that word) when the aim is true.

          • charro says:

            Well, but, Achmed is more of a cornucopia of “All Arab/Muslim Terrorists” (while I’m sure most people think Osama), instead of an actual caricature of someone “real”.

            You know, like Timmy The Dead Oklahoma City Bomber. That would be a little different.

            But, I guess brak has a point of his own – sometimes the best way to dull the pain in with humour. Some people find that inappropriate, some laugh their ass off. Different strokes I guess. I make fun of horrible things in my life (addiction/alcoholism/general craziness) because if I don’t.. Well it’s really fukcing depressing.

            And don’t go around shooting things Dhoti! You’ll be Dhoti the Dead Interwebs Terrorist!

            • It's so obvious! says:

              Individual vs. group identity desensitization. It’s a helluva lot easier to eat faceless “chicken” than it is to eat “Chicken Little” for most people. Similarly, it’s a helluvalot easier to condemn to death a “domestic terrorist” than it is to think of cute little Timmy from up-the-street dangling from a hangman’s noose.

              • Dhoti is wanted by the Cheezburger Police says:

                Desensitization might apply if the government was trying to tell us, for example, that all pro-lifers are domestic terrorists. But when sweet little Timmy went off and murdered people — a lot of people — in cold blood, that’s a bit different.

                • viking gal says:

                  I disagree with you all on this. My take on it is that ‘Timmy’ isn’t funny because of the particular act that he committed. Whereas ‘Numbnuts the militia-member domestic terrorist’ could be funny, as we don’t associate particular victims with a composite character.

                  • Dhoti is wanted by the Cheezburger Police says:

                    Don’t get me wrong — I’m not saying I think he’s funny, just that I don’t think desensitization applies here.

                    • viking gal says:

                      You might have a point in that–we haven’t had years of Hollywood-izing of a ‘Timmy’, unlike ‘Achmed’. And I don’t think ‘Timmy’s’ show up in video games? (I don’t play them, so I’m not sure on that one)

                          I want to say that Hollywood briefly worked on the domestic terrorist, i.e. “corn-fed killer”, angle, around the time of the Atlanta bombings, Waco, and Oklahoma City, but it didn’t stick.

                          24 would be a good indicator, too. I don’t watch it, so I can’t tell you, but I’m guessing domestic terrorists have shown up there from time to time.

                          Whut?

                          They have had domestic terrorism, in fact once a nuclear bomb went off in LA. Though, I think the premise (and the acceptance of it) comes from a different angle – “Look How Hard Jack Bauer (faceless hero representing all of the US Government) Works To Singlehandedly Save Us From Doom!”. So we are given a very driven, dedicated hero who combats terrorism and stops at nothing to save his beloved nation. It gives a warm fuzzy feeling to us who think that there might actually be someone like that in our government who does that (I can’t think of one – LOL).

                          Interestingly enough, there have been times where Jack has, literally, tortured people. It’s odd to me that the show has been as accepting because of this little tidbit, but (and maybe my perception is skewed because I have the hots for Kiefer shhhhh), they do a good job painting Jack not as someone who thinks he is above the law, but a tortured soul who loves his country so much, and the freedoms he fights for every day so much, that he is willing to give up his own freedom, and his own life, to protect ours.

                          Ok, I didn’t mean to go on such a rant there, but 24 really doesn’t make light of terrorism. It gives us a likeable hero and a sense that maybe, someone out there actually cares as much as he to save us all from terrorism – whether how he gets there is “right” or “wrong” – but he is such a Wonderful Human Being(TM). (unlike most of the douchebags we have in our goverment [on both sides]) that he is willing to take responsibility for what he does.

                          In conclusion, I heart Kiefer.

                      I did. (Obsessive scientist trait.) No lungs, but I was thinking that maybe inside there’s something that looks like lungs and might be called that when using lay terms. I didn’t find actual internal pics, so couldn’t figure that out.

                      (Found that one out the hard way.)

                      Being not a marine biologist, I just went with it an never looked it up. So, my bads for posting faulty information.

They replaced the legs with King and told me they wouldn’t charge me…. then proceeded to charge me. I was so DONE with eating by that time. Have you ever EATEN ammonia? I thought I’d been POISONED. Seriously.

                      They have them off the Keys, too. Spiny, horrible little things.

                    • oɹɹɐɥɔ says:

                      Thinking about eating anything in Seattle makes me queasy – as a little girl I got food poisoning at the Space Needle.

                      While intellectually I know that’s not the whole city of Seattle’s fault.. It’s a conditioned response I guess.

                    • It's so obvious! says:

                      Probably because I HAVE tried Florida lobster (BLEH) and haven’t tried Maine lobster. Hope to one day, however.

                    • viking gal says:

                      Next time you have a nice fresh lobster, I’ll eat your tomale for you! –erm, maybe I should clear that with my BF first?

                      The tomale (sp?) is actually the liver. And if it is a fresh, east coast lobster (I can’t speak for west coast ones), then it is quite yummy.
                      Lobsters have gills, not lungs. They can’t inhale unless you can get the substance dissolved into their water first!

                    • Maxwell Silverhammer Beatlist Pope John Paul George Ringo the First says:

                      The only really good lobster is from the north eastern coast I’m afraid, Florida tries… it really does, but it can’t compare to a Maine Lobster!

                      Well, ok, but the best Alaskan King Crab I had came directly from Alaska in like 6 hours. Ok, so it was flash frozen, but still. It was delicious.
                      I took Oceanography for one of my sciences in college and they have some nasty looking deep sea crabs that creep me out. Janie, I understand where you’re coming from.

                      Dhoti – I had a McRib. *hangs head in shame* Now I want King Crab.

                    • Jane St.Clair Glamorous First Lady of PK says:

                      Well, no doubt it was good but that was kind of my point. They send it out so quickly that if you’re actually living in Alaska (especially in Fairbanks which in addition to being in the middle of the state is also one of the circles of hell) you have a hard time getting it. Maybe if you lived near the coast, like Anchorage, it’d be easier to get.

                    • Dhoti is wanted by the Cheezburger Police says:

                      I’m jealous — I LURV the McRib. (But only two per year max.)

                      Speaking of which, more advice for the lobster noobs: DO NOT try the McLobster. (I was in Boston one summer and couldn’t help myself. It was like lobster-flavored mayo on a stale roll.)

                    • Jane St.Clair Glamorous First Lady of PK says:

                      Jane – my sister and brother in law were in Fairbanks when they sent me that lobster. So, point taken.

                      I don’t believe in eating anything that lives in water. Seafood, lake food, river food, aquarium food. All bleh. I’ll stick to beef tamales instead of lobster tomales. For the smoking lobster, maybe something bong like might work. Set up a hookah using it’s fish tank?

                    • Okay, about 50 posts later, I’ll say, thanks for the advice (really). I’ll probably just stick to the shrimp or something, I dunno. I never leave the midwest so I think my chances of eating really fresh seafood anywhere are pretty slim anyway. LOL

                    • More good advice that I’ll take. Thank you, charro. And I also lurvs the McRib, but that should come as no surprise.

                        I like deer but I don’t know if I’ve ever actually had rabbit. I always cried when I was in 4-H (yeah laugh it up I raised rabbits) and we’d have out shows and there were meat pens. Rex rabbits make the best meat, and they are so sweet and cute. I definitely couldn’t kill then eat a rabbit. Though, if it was already dead and you know, um. Carved? I would give it a shot. I’m pretty adventurous when it comes to eating.

                        I used to have a Rex. She was evil and terrified my cat, she also tried to kill me a number of times. Though rabbit in general is pretty tasty, not much a fan of venison though, the stuff I had was just too gamey.

                        Rabbits are bred for two things – looks and meat. Some breeds are just generally more affable than others. Dutch Rabbits? Bad juju. Lops? Good juju. They all have their exceptions though.

                        V1cod1n is actually what I take by prescription for migraines. None of the fancy, expensive migraine drugs do anything for me. (Ooops, I lie. Imatrix almost made me puke.)

                        I have a friend who’s a massage therapist who does wonders for my migraines. But that’s out of pocket for me too. I think I’m going to try to get a prescription for vic0din to go with the Imitrex because lately it hasn’t been working that well.

                      • mabsba says:

                        There is at least one (maybe two) drugs that are similar to Imatrix that might work if Imatrix has worked for you before. I love my V1cod1n, but I only need it on average once per week at the most. Doctors are weird about prescribing it, though. They kept telling me that I should take psych drugs DAILY instead. Take a look at the side effects for those — WOW. So now I see a nurse practitioner. They’re so much more practical.

            You claim that Bush and Cheney did what needed to be done to protect us.

            Bush was explicitly warned that bin Laden was determined to attack the US. He was warned that he would try to attack with commercial airliners. Bush ignored this. And then after the attack claimed no one could have known the attack was coming or what its nature would be.

            Bush was warned explicitly that the levees in New Orleans were likely to fail when Katrina hit. He did nothing. He did pretend he could play guitar at some musician’s birthday party while the levees were failing. He then claimed that no one could have known the levees would fail.

            So Bush and Cheney didn’t do sh1t to keep us safe, even when they were warned what was coming. All they did was try to cover their a$$es after their colossal failures.

            These incidents are widely published. So you are either too stupid to be aware of common knowledge, or you are lying in hopes no one will point out the failures.

            Repeating false stories does nothing to advance the debate. Therefore, shut your pie hole.

        There’s no mention of the Fort Hood shooter, probably because he is still in medical treatment due to his spinal injury.
        Today there was mention via several news outlets that there will probably be at least 8 senior officers indited due to not bringing proper actions due to his erratic behavior and his dreadful performance as a military psychiatrist. The guy was reported as a risk to his patients by one of his colleagues, but his superior officers responded by giving him a highly desired award instead of a performance review.

        Liar! Liar! Yor pants on fire! (I just wanted to shout out that… nothing personal, it’s directed to ALL of us/me/them/those.)

    • Wino says:

      Pancheros is really not a good replacement for Jack-in-the-Box either.

      • Naoyusimi says:

        Where’s Panchero’s? DSM? I haven’t eaten in DSM in eons!

        • Wino says:

          I thought they were littered all over Iowa. There are a couple in Iowa City and I believe I have seen one in Dubuque.

          • Naoyusimi says:

            Next time you’re heading down the river road from Dubuque, stop by the Mississippi Narrows and say, “Hi!” This town is too small for most chains, but I’ll see if the Quad-Cities has them. I’ll be danged! There’s one on Utica Ridge Road in Davenport. You do or don’t recommend?

            • Wino says:

              Its better than a lot of fast food, but it is really not that great compared to other chains of its type: Chipotle or Moe’s.

              I just miss decent Mexican food. (My plan is to seek out Mexican on Tuesday when I get back to Iowa).

              I go up to Dubuque quite often – there is a ski area there I work at/ ski at.

              • Naoyusimi says:

                Decent Mexican food? Take a different road home, and stop in Sterling/Rock Falls, IL. Trust me.

                I know it well. I’ve never skiied, but I’ve been there a few times, anyway. We take that back road into Galena, on the motorcycles — you know the one I mean? It’s a good ride.

                • Naoyusimi says:

                  Whoops….subject change in the paragraphs. Was only going to post one, then I added another when I reread your post.

                  I am non sequitur-girl. Or so it looks.

                • Wino says:

                  Sadly my flight is to CDR and not MLN-Quad Cities. I have a layover in Chicago so maybe I will be able to leave the airport.

                  I haven’t been down that road, but I hear it is pretty fun.

                  • Naoyusimi says:

                    I looked up the airport code and that’s Chadron, NE. No way… you meant Cedar Rapids, right? That’s CID. Moline is MLI.

                    I’m learning them so I can beat my friends at a stupid FB quiz. That’s sad, isn’t it? Yeah, that’s sad.

                    • Wino says:

                      I did mean Cedar Rapids. I seem to have a mental block on remembering CID and MLI even though I fly through them quite often.

                  • Naoyusimi says:

                    Layover at Ohare or Midway? OHare, you’re not going to find too much… Midway, you might find something good, but watch yerself. Take a gun. Oh, wait, exiting plane…um, buy a knife? LOL

                      • Naoyusimi says:

                        Well, I never explored it fully, I should say. It just seemed like it was all hotels and a convention center. I stayed at the Doubletree—nice hotel, even though the night clerk was RUDE when I walked in, early in the a.m. and tired as hell. She sniffed the price at me like I couldn’t afford it. I wanted to say something snotty, but was too tired and desirous of a room in which to get comfortable.

                      • charro says:

                        Wait, how long is your layover?

                        My brother in law works at O’Hate. Erm, O’Hare.

                • Naoyusimi says:

                  Oops, I had it mixed up with Galena. Durrr. Told ya I don’t ski. LOL

                  • Wino says:

                    Its not far though. There is another ski area in Galena. Just not the one I go to most of the time. Its even farther from IC.

                    I’ve never been down your ways in IA before. My wife worked in Davenport for some time and I go up to Dubuque a lot, but I have never traveled between them.

                Chipotles is good, but it isn’t real Mexican food.

                I have been informed by my aunt that they have real Mexican food in Hutchinson, Kansas. The stuff we have here in southern CA, 5-30 minutes away from the Mexican border is not, in fact, real Mexican, despite the um…Mexicans that work there, own the place, and choose what goes on the menu.

                Tuesday is the best day to go Mexican Food seeking because Tuesday is Taco Tuesday.

                • Wino says:

                  Yeah, Chipotles is definitely nowhere close to ‘real’ Mexican food, but even it is much closer to decent Mexican food than I have had in the last 5 months.

                  There were a number of places right outside of Atlanta where I grew up that seemed to have pretty authentic Mexican.

                  I like Taco Tuesday.

              • charro says:

                Good lord, this is a good lesson to read the whole thread first.

                Having lived in Mexico for 6 months, I can honestly say that I cannot find good Mexican food in the States. Texmex? Sure. Meximerican? Sure. But not good, true Mexican food.

                • dissimilitude says:

                  That’s because all the Sonoran cooks in the US are busy making French (and other high-end) food. ;-)

                  • Wino says:

                    I have never been to Mexico, but I did used to work with a number of people from different parts of Mexico when I was in high school. They were pretty awesome and nearly always shared the food they brought/made (i worked fast food). I learned from them the wonderful lesson that one should try to go to the most remote/ run down looking Mexican restaurants and that is where teh best food is found.

                    • Default User says:

                      Yes. That is a fact. If it looks like the building will fall over if you look at to hard, or it’s a dingy little doorway shoved between two much nicer buildings, then you know they have the good stuff. The term we use is ‘Hole-in-the-wall mexican food’.

          • charro says:

            You mean they aren’t in IL!?

      • charro says:

        What is this “Pancheros” you speak of? Do they have Jumbo Jacks?

  10. Wino says:

    What do you eat Ioannes?

    I eat unborn babies. *Savors taste of unborn babies* So much tastier than kittens.

    Your complete and utter hatred of everything and everyone shows you have not accepted the love of Jesus into your heart as you constantly claim to have done and demand others do. If yours is the love of Jesus, I’ll stick to the indifference of nothingness, thanks anyways.

  12. paws4thot says:

    The “right to choose” means exactly that; the right to make a decision for yourself, rather than have some self-righteous conservatroll force their morality on you.

  13. dissimilitude says:

    You know that saying “Jesus loves you, everyone else thinks you’re an asshole?”….. :roll:

  14. Jane St.Clair Glamorous First Lady of PK says:

    Not as disgusting as your post. Jesus, keep your sick wack-off fantasies to yourself next time, Paul.

  15. Sarah the self rightous says:

    Ignore the trolls and maybe they’ll go away. Wish I had something witty to say, but I wanted to let you guys (and gals) know you made my day. The series following Ender’s general Bean is great by the way.(not brilliant but at least it rhymed. )

  16. charro says:

    I don’t remember Obama performing my abortion. Or any other one for that matter. In fact, is Obama even a doctor? I don’t think they allow people that aren’t doctors to perform abortions. Something about that being illegal or something.

    In short, you are an idiot and a terrible Christian. I can’t believe you live in a world where you distrust everyone who wants to make the world better just because they don’t live in the same narrow, hate-filled world that you do.

    You are a disgusting human being. Jesus Christ would be ashamed of you and indeed He would denounce your acts as decidedly Un-Christlike.
