*witty comment*
There’s a hell of a distance between wise-cracking and wit. Wit has truth in it; wise-cracking is simply calisthenics with words. -D. Parker
Oh Dorothy Parker. Is there anything you aren’t right about?
Little Words
When you are gone, there is no bloom nor leaf,
Nor singing sea at night, nor silver birds;
And I can only stare, and shape my grief
In little words.
I cannot conjure loveliness, to drown
The bitter woe that racks my cords apart.
The weary pen that sets my sorrow down
Feeds at my heart.
There is no mercy in the shifting year,
No beauty wraps me tenderly about.
I turn to little words- so you, my dear,
Can spell them out.
Summer ….
Nevermore shall I be cursed
By a flushed and amorous slattern,
With her dusty laces’ pattern
Trailing, as she straggles by.
I like to have a martini,
Two at the very most.
After three I’m under the table,
After four I’m under my host.
I’ve always hoped to one day borrow her response to her editor regarding a blown deadline: “Too fvcking busy, and vice versa.”
I just have to complain that you all are responsible for the growing pile of books on my bedside table. I just had to re-read Catch-22 after many references to Major Major Major Major and now am finishing a book of Charlotte Perkins Gilman’s short stories after ‘The Yellow Wallpaper’ was mentioned.
Now I want some more Dorothy Parker. *sigh* Ladies, I don’t have time for all this reading!!
I suggest this, if you don’t already own it!
Drop all other literature and read. this. book.
Going Rogue…. OH HELL NO!!!
*too busy LMAO to think of a response*
Personally, I’d rather read “Going Rouge” instead.
The laundry starched my underpants, now I’m Going Rough.
I have to launder my underpants twice a day since I decided I’m going roughage.
*whispers* There actually a book called Going Rouge now. The cover looks almost exactly the same except there’s a thunder storm in the background. Yeah, it’s not a pro-Palin book….
Sort of like Faren-Hype 911 makes fun of Michael Moore……
@DU – I put “Going Rouge” on my TBR list as soon as I found out about it. I just need to see if my library has/can get it.
I just took the English courses that I wanted. And had a feminist mother who reads. So I have my own copy of the complete Dorthy Parker. One of my favorite lines “tonstant weader fwowed up”, about a bad production of “Pooh at Pooh’s corner”.
And I have to say that all of the literary references above cause the following sentiment:
You all ROCK!
Well, when you’re actually getting an English degree, there are quite a few you HAVE to take. But I liked all of them. Probably why I almost accidentally got the English degree on the way to the math degree. Can you believe profs give you credit for reading books?
Credit? For reading a book? Nonsense!
wish someone would have told me that when i was in school, i got an accounting deg on my way to a marine bio deg that i still don’t have.
Ew. Accounting has numbers. I went into math so I wouldn’t have to deal with numbers.
“I went into math so I wouldn’t have to deal with numbers.”
My favourite math course was discrete mathematics, partially for that very reason.
(And I loathe all forms of calculus. If you need to use numbers, and even the sloppy kind with decimals and stuff, you’re doing something wrong.)
Calculus is just glorified arithmetic. I have taught it several times, though. lol.
If you’re short on time, might I recommend book-a-minute?
{http://www.rinkworks.com/bookaminute/}
Dorothy Parker is on audio at our library. Mmmmmmm, audio books. The idea that you can do laundry and ‘read’ a book at the same time almost makes doing laundry bearable.
LOL!! Here’s Far From the Madding Crowd:
Gabriel
Marry me.
Bathsheba
No. Marry me.
Boldwood
Ok.
Bathsheba
Just kidding.
Boldwood
Marry me.
Bathsheba
Perhaps.
Troy
Marry me.
Bathsheba
Yes.
Troy
Now that you’ve married me, it’s time to find someone else. (leaves)
Boldwood
Marry me.
Bathsheba
I will marry you if my husband doesn’t come back.
Troy
(comes back) (dies)
Gabriel
Marry me.
Bathsheba
Sure.
That is awesome! It’s like the book version of the 30 Second Bunnies Theatre.
I love the book-a-minute version of “Finnegan’s Wake”:
James Joyce
I have created my own language to tell the cyclical history of humanity.
Reader #1
Brilliance!
Reader #2
(dies)
THE END
Sample
(Rough translation: )
1: The Lord of the Rings (the whole trilogy)
2: Frodo has received a magic ring but the evil Sauron wants it, because then he can rule the whole world.
3: Frodo has to go to Mount Doom to destroy the ring but a lot of orcs and a lot of other nuisances want to stop him.
4: Eventually Frodo arrives and tosses the ring into the fire.
Well, at least this would be a job she is actually *qualified* for. Come to think of it, this is the ONLY job she is qualified for.
Good luck with the application. Remember, keep that mouth shut and you may actually get the job!
Awe ! Still butt-hurt over Senator Brown winning ?
Nope. Coakley didn’t rock my boat. I’m not thrilled by Brown, but I’ll give him a decent chance. And by the way, the media seems to have missed Massachusett’s multiple Republican state-wide officials over the past 20 or more years. So it isn’t as big a deal as you might think it is.
Not necessarily, obama isn’t qualified for anything above community organizer. And biden, who doesn’t even seem qualified to breathe, and look at them now.
I see. And what are you qualified for, besides conservatrolling?
*waves hand in air* Pick me! I know! *stands up* Reciting talking points from an election that was over a year ago.
Ya know, I only find Palin vaguely appealing at the best of times but she is kinda hot in this picture to me… Though I will always see soulless shark teeth when I look at her. So I think the hat is stupid but I find her pretty in this pose. I has a conflicting libido here. My brain is going Abort Abort and my wang is saying, Cougar the other White Meat…
Also… Boo redo…
And finally, this meh lol actually makes me partial to believing this crazy Liberal Bias stuff we’ve heard for months now. I don’t quite get the point. Usually jokes are supposed to be clever but I see no clever here. Why is there no clever? Having no clever makes Baby Jesus cry!
Well, a clever joke requires a sharp mind to understand it – otherwise it is lost. As is apparently the case here.
Well I’m sure the lolwriter will be clever someday as well as someday I will get my mind sharpened…
Oh there’s no lack of sharpness on your part, D.
Did he cut you?
hmm, spicy
Maybe I understood it however it was only a “Meh” on my whitty meter. I could think something like “The New Air Head Judge on American Idol is Tina Fey… I mean ummm Sarah Palin? WTF?”
Might have been Meh on your whitty meter, but
it went “Ding Ding Ding” on my whiny meter.
Yes, she whines a lot on top of being an airhead, doesn’t she.
Don’t forget screechy. I find her very screechy.
But I’m with DWN, she’s always come across as hot.
AND… she’s already a comedian… allbeit most of her stuff is unintentional…
Though I am not a fan of Palin (I find her somewhat dimwhitted), I do believe that the Media crucified her much more than they would any Dim-whitted Democratic politiciain (See Hiliary, Pelosi, Reid, Biden….)
She is no longer in office, yet the press still looks for ways to “zing” her, all the while the above four are saying and doing things that could require more scrutiny from the Press.
I bet you she is an animal in the sack (change of subject to your other stuff)… and I too find myself confused…. MILF, yet the whistling between the ears really grates me.
I have friends who are Hillary supporters and who complain about the misogyny in national politics. I used to think that there was no way it could be as prevalent as they claim; I figured they were just covering for the fact that she’s pure evil. (And I strongly suspect the Clintonistas are in fact a recon division of the army of the underworld, but I digress.)
This whole Palin thing has really opened my eyes — seeing how she’s been savagely attacked, pretty much non-stop, for being attractive and “uppity”. My Clintonista friends aren’t wrong.
The only real problem I have with Palin is that I don’t find her all that intelligent… maybe she is, but she certainly doesn’t come accross that way in interviews (unless she’s being soft-balled by FoxNews). Whenever she gives a poor interview, it’s always “that darn liberal-biased media” and when she gives a “good interview” it’s just the Conservative Talking Points that you could get from anyone…
My other issue is that she served half of a term as Governor then claimed she quit because she would be a “lame duck”… What’s she going to do if she became President???
I will grant that she may be the most polarizing figure in politics…
Plus, to those who have an issue with comments on the “hotness” factor, I think it’s perfectly fair. Any one in the public eye is open fodder. If they’re hot, people will comment on it.
Look, if anyone opened themselves up for “savage attack” it’s this *complete* bozo. Just look at the laundry list of idiotic things she has said!
So you’re cool with the soft misogyny of “hot chicks are stupid” when you don’t agree with what the person stands for? Thanks for proving my point.
Nah, she’s just stupid. And hot. Clear?
I take that back. I’m with mg, in that I don’t really think she’s all that stupid. But I hold firm in the belief that she has done a string of remarkably idiotic things.
My mum always said stupid is as stupid does!
FAIL!!! “Mamma” always said stupid is as stupid does!!!
Ooh that took gumption
Life is like a box of chocolates. I can take both away from you quite easily. MWAHAHAHAHAAA!!!!
Try and take chocolate FROM this FAT man…. I’ll eat your arm with it.
Run Forrest Run!
I think I messed up your room-mates robe, Pitty.
**slap Ivan with said SWEATER** Sweater…. SWEATER!!!! DAMN IT!!!
So, she’s stupid — and, by the way, even though it has no bearing on anything and doesn’t actually matter, she’s also a hot chick. Just sayin’.
In related news, Obama’s stupid too — and, by the way, even though it has no bearing on anything and doesn’t actually matter, he’s also a mixed-race black guy. Just sayin’.
You’re making your point perfectly, believe me.
Why ignore my other comment??
Because it didn’t change anything — you weren’t taking back “Any one in the public eye is open fodder”, right?
Open fodder – yes.
But you’re mistaking stating obvious facts with “making stuff up which is clearly without any basis or even circumstantial evidence because you don’t like the guy ” and open racism.
And how exactly does his heritage play into his qualification or what he does? You don’t have to agree with the guy or his politics, but stooping to racism because you feel personally offended that you don’t have a KKK member for President … nah. Crawl back under your rock.
Dummies: Say wha?!?! Dhoti and I disagree at levels of tact, but I doubt he wants a KKK member in the White House (he respects the cross too much to have one burning on the White House lawn all the time)…. Seriously though one can easily equate Hot to Heritage. True someone can change their hotness by letting themselves go, not washing, etc… however someone can change their heritage as well (see White Michael Jackson!!! What, too soon?)
You’re an idiot. Did you not understand the point I was making, or are you simply conditioned to say “RAAAACIST” whenever anyone says “Obama”?
Yes, stick to what you do best, just go off on random rants if you cannot find any argument against what has been said.
Quote “Dhoti”:
“he’s also a mixed-race black guy. Just sayin’.” – Racism. How you ramble about equating it to hotness may show some deeply rooted sexual desires within you, but I don’t want to speculate. But keep on rambling it is amusing me.
Any real arguments here or just trying to justify your closed-minded agenda?
Less crying, more crawling! Go, hush, crawl back!
I’m confused — are you the same troll, or just a particularly oblivious impersonator? Either way, you could have saved yourself some time by simply answering “Yes and yes.”
We are myriad!
And you should remember that old playground saying: Just saying it doesn’t make it so.
But I must say, you and Butter have lots of talent when it comes to trolling, we may assimilate you!
Yeah, though I rarely (if ever) agree with Dhoti, saying Obama is of mixed race is mostly on par with saying Palin is hot (with the exception PB noted, you can let yourself go and become un-hot, you can’t really change your race). He didn’t say he thought any less of Obama for being of mixed race or that there was anything wrong with his being multi-racial. It was a simple statement of fact.
I think her point is that she doesn’t agree that “hot chicks are stupid” is okay, but that “Palin is stupid” is okay. The hot chick and the stupid parts are unrelated and are merely observations since we’re talking about it.
Right, that’s the point she’s trying to make — but then I think she turns right around and does it. See my Obama example: if I constantly referenced him as “President Obama, the mixed-race black guy”, wouldn’t I get in trouble, even if I said it was just an observation?
You surely seem stupid.
She gets slammed because she is a twit. It has nothing to do with what she looks like. It has nothing to do with the fact that she is a woman. Some people WISH it was for those reasons, but it isn’t. Also, she would be ignored if she didn’t keep PUTTING HERSELF IN THE PUBLIC EYE!!!
It’s teh stoopid, stupid!
Yeah, who’d want the vice president of the U.S. saying a bunch of stupid things? (Biden my time waiting for an answer)
Don’t misunderestimate the ability of politicians from both parties to say really stupid things. Oh, my potatoe is done!
But only under Sniper Fire!!!!!
I remember the sniper fire. That was right before FDR went on TV about the stock market crash. But that sounded like nonsense to me. I said, “Fool me once, shame on me…uh…you can’t get fooled again.”
Yeah for an hour there I forgot Obama was black…. (not a politician, BUT appropriate)
You’re missing the point. Too many OB-GYNs aren’t able to practice their love with women all across this country.
…and nearly 100% of all US imports come from overseas.
What would this country be, without this great land of ours….
Ah, but rarely is the questioned asked: Is our children learning?
And are they learning in all 57 states?
And remember, even the educated have no disregard for human life.
I do believe the human being and the fish can coexist peacefully.
What exactly is the definition of “is”?
C-C-C-C-C-Combo Breaker! Damn PB, pay attention, will you?!
And talking in a “black dialect”!
And to sum up Obama’s State of the Union “BLEEP, YOU!!!” I laughed so hard at the Jon Stewart show the other night. “Bleep you, bleep you, and bleep you.”
It’s hard to tell based on interviews alone, because those outlets have a significant interest in portraying her the way they do. Personally, while I don’t think she’s the sharpest husky in the pack, I suspect you underestimate her at your peril.
Her resignation was fishy, I’ll grant you that — but if I had to choose between two more years of being harassed by lying nutroots (I think everything that’s been investigated has turned out to be bogus, so I think it’s safe to call them liars) and a high-paid media job, I know which one I’d take.
I don’t know about her relative intelligence. I do think she has been subject to serious misogyny by the press–the Newsweek cover using a photo of her in running gear was just wrong. However, I have a great deal of difficulty with her ‘cutsie-woo’, flirtatious behavior when running for a professional position–I think it denigrates her, and by extension all professional women. I’m not saying a professional woman can’t flirt, but you don’t do it during formal presentation or job interview!
I was also appalled when she couldn’t name one magazine, journal, or newspaper by which to follow national or world events. OK, she could have had a brain cramp. But in that case, why not make a LOUD press release the next day with a list of her sources?
According to her book, her answer was edited during the Katie interview. Of course it was her book written and edited by her. Your point is kind of weak though as I think most of the adult community, especially someone in politics, could surely name the New York Times, Wallstreet Journal etc.
“According to her book, her answer was edited during the Katie interview”
Like everybody else’s interviews?!! Like ALL TV interviews??!! Give me a break. The woman may not be stupid but she certainly comes across as willfully ignorant and has shown disdain for the educated and intelligent.
Quote from HOW
“The woman comes across educated and intelligent”
I may or may not have edited it a little, but of course everybodies interviews are edited. My point was, you can’t solely rely on an edited interview to gain your facts from.
You still haven’t made your point. Palin’s acted like a dunce in almost EVERY interview she’s given. She can blame the ebul media all she likes she will still come across as an ignoramus.
HOW: Do you think the media has treated Palin more harsh than they have other Politicians?
That has nothing to do with the fact that she’s ignorant or with the point I’m making. Even when she was making her own speeches, not being interviewed, there was so much ignorance and sentences and “points” that never went anywhere.
HOW I believe the point dhoti, semper and I were trying to make is that EVEN though Palin is, well a dumb a$$, the media went to greater lengths to attack her, as opposed to other dumb a$$ politicians, and yes including Bush.
I think she has only herself to blame for that; she started an antagonistically aggressive relationship with the media right away. What did she expect?
Also, whether it was her or others in the campaign who did it, the press’s access to her was severely limited, which is the ideal way to piss them off. They expect a lot of access to a VP candidate, and I don’t think that’s unreasonable.
They do attack female candidates on issues that they don’t attack male candidates on, but that was never limited to her. She was just the only woman in the ‘final four.’
You ended your sentence with a preposition. *takes away semper’s editing pencil*
That is the sort of thing up with which we will not put!
(paraphrased)
Technically, to make it an accurate quote it should be “he woman comes…across educated and intelligent” Just sayin’.
*shoves a capital T at the beginning of that quote*
Uh, isn’t that exactly the point? That she couldn’t name a news source when as you say, “most of the adult community, especially someone in politics, could surely name the New York Times, Wallstreet Journal etc.”
I’m thinking semperfidd is missing a word somewhere in that sentence, because I thought the same as you, Mabs.
My point was that you would probably belive anything if you truely believe that one of the 50 governors, 57 if you believe everything obama says, can not name a major publication that covers national and world events.
But she couldn’t! It was national TV, and I think most of us saw it. She couldn’t answer the question, and she didn’t come back later and answer it.
And what are the other seven states,
1. Puerto Rico
2. St. Croix
3. Midway
4. Guam
5. St. Thomas
6. Canada
7. Mexico or Iraq?
Hey now… just because we bend over and take it whenever the American Fed tells ours what to do does not make us American… We are independent… sort of…
Pfft. A bunch of wannabes.
‘Sides, you all have that…whachamcallit…monarchy thingie? And that socialized medicine stuff. Shoo, shoo.
Um, before you go, can we have some prescription drugs?
I wouldn’t be surprised to see some major changes in our international relationship in the near future though, our gen X’s and gen Y’s have seem to actually be growing opinions… and spines. Discussion of major Parliamentary reforms are growing again, and this time the politicians seem oblivious in spite of the fact some of our major media sources have started to detect smoke on the horizon.
Of course Canadians don’t actually rebel, we just sort of talk firmly to each other until someone slips into a coma from boredom, but those of you with delicate sensibilities (or better things to do) may wish to look away.
*yawn* I’m sorry, GB, you were saying something about restructuring the houses of Parliament. Please, do carry on. *looks about desperately for coffee*
*jumps on GreenBeard*
SURPRISE!
Mmm. *nom nom* Well, Mrs. GB wouldn’t like that and the fury of a woman scorned ain’t nothing compared to a pissed off pregnant woman, so you better get on that.
Hey! *whacks DMCA with a stick* Get away from my drug supplier! Geez. Almost made me spill my Baileys.
And, OW. That’s a large stick.
Well, Mrs. GB is in no condition to defend her husband’s honor. Don’t make me get out the shotgun. *glares at DMCA*
ACK!
*pulls out flamethrower*
DIE YOU PIECE OF CORPORATIST TRASH!!!
*BURNINATION*
Must nuke it from orbit… it’s the only way…
*Runs off to assemble nukes and orbital missile platform*
Ooo! I have yellowcake! *runs after GB, waving yellowcake*
Ooh, is that a Twinkie?
*grabs yellowcake*
Diss! *shrugs* She’ll be okay. I stole it from Iraq, so it’s probably fake anyway.
DISS HAS WMD’S!!! EVERYONE INVADE DISS!!!
Just for Diss’s sake, make sure you only invade one at a time. Unless she authorizes more than one invasion at a time, in which case, have at it.
Psst. Diss. I can get you a good deal on this thermonuclear orbital missile platform once we find some real yellowcake and nuke DMCA.
There was no creamy filling in that yellowcake, dammit!
Um, diss, you’re glowing…….green. Is that normal for you?
Only on Groundhog Day and St. Patrick’s. It’ll be ok.
OMG, a green smilie! Want want want want! I have more yellowcake….
Mabs, it’s (colon)mrgreen(colon)!
Ooooooo…
*happy happy happy* Here, actual Twinkies instead of yellowcake. We were using them for ballast in the orbital station.
To be perfectly fair, the question wasn’t “Name a news source — any of ‘em!” but which ones she followed regularly. (Granted, if I was asked this question I’d have an answer, but it’d be “Well, I look at Google News a couple of times a day and read more on the top stories that look interesting.”)
Otoh, that’s also the part of the question that makes it feasible that she really couldn’t come up with anything.
Hmmmm. I do believe I call Q8< on you.
What's 'otoh'? Is that like 'well'?
Never mind. :red:
Shoot. What’s the blushing face? :blush: ?
Ah yeah, that worked. I googled “make blushy face ichc” ;p
It’s ;oops; (take the semi out of the colons. ;p )
Clever!
Hmm.
*reminds self to try google after urban dictionary*
: oops :
I suggest we change Danbala’s name to: askaswede.com
Wow, I was late on that one.
Dear askaswede.com: If the english phrase for swedish meatball is swedish meatballs, how do you say swedish meatballs in swedish?
askaspeedyswede.com ?
What do they call Brazil nuts in Brazil?
Fun question though, ’cause the Swedish meatballs I came across when I was in the US were all first fried up the normal way, then cooked in gravy, which is something I haven’t come across in Sweden. We usually serve it with gravy on the side, as well as lingonberry jam. (To drown the potatoes in, because potatoes are BORING.
)
Dear askaswede.com: Are swedes really sad or is it just that the corners of their eyes are down turny?
I’m not sure you saw it, but we had a discussion with Nucky about what Canadians call Canadian bacon. It seems as if Americans have a lot of foods with other countries’ names on them that often don’t exist in those countries.
Like French I MEAN FREEDOM!!! Fries.
@pittypat:
Are they? The eyes, I mean. I’ve never noticed! I think Swedes like to think of themselves as more sad than they are. (And the suicide figures are not very high compared to other countries, contrary to popular belief.) When it comes to melancholy, depression and alcoholism to handle the bitter, twisted anger inside, they have nothing on Finns, anyway. ;p
@mabs:
Nope, I missed that conversation completely. I think most countries have those things. We have plenty of them, for sure.
The Liv Ulman type, you know? Half my family has that down turny eye thing.
@pp:
But she’s Norwegian!
That said, I think Norwegian and Swedish genes are probably close enough for there to be quite a few similarities, and yes, that kind of eye shape is far from unusual. I think of it more as “worried” than “sad” though, I think.
“On the other hand”. I am lazy some times, sorry. :p
No, my brain just didn’t recognize it as an acronym without all caps. *reminds self to use urban dictionary*
Oh, right. Yes. I try to not do the all caps for acronyms on the Interwebz because it can turn out very shouty.
I actually think that’s an easier question because you just think, well, yesterday I watched BBC World News Tonight (or whatever you watched yesterday), as you just did. And there would have been nothing wrong with a governor mentioning the local news.
Or you panic and think “Oh fvck oh fvck whatever I say it’s going to sound stupid or somebody’s going to have a problem with it and I can’t say People, crap, I gotta say something…”
Well, VG and I both suggested she could have answered later. But I swear that politicians are incapable of just saying something like, “OMG, I’m sorry, I can’t believe that I can’t remember the name of the station I usually watch.” Not just her, most of them.
I think as a people, Americans tend to be quite forgiving when someone admits a mistake, especially a silly one, because we feel that they’re more human and more like us.
OK look this just doesn’t make sense. How in god’s name can someone not think of NYT/WSJ/etc.? Mini-infarct? Really, I don’t get it.
Some times, not often, but some times, I can’t remember what the name of my significant other is. Some times I have to really think to be able to answer the question “how old are you”.
And if I, such a marvellously intelligent and together and hoopy frood can get that confoozled, I can certainly understand that that kind of thinking accidents can happen to other people too.
Dans = John Edwards or Tiger Woods or Bill Clinton…..
I was trying to be kind. Also, I am severely dyslexic and sometimes I just can’t remember things. I literally momentarily forgot the word ‘reciprocal’ when tutoring the other day. And I always have to think about what year it is when someone asks how old I am.
And, PB, I do believe you have insulted our Swedish friend!!
Ooooer… No, no, I remember who he is, it’s just the name that has alluded me a few times….
Oh I thought he was being sarcastic about forgetting his spouses name……. if not I retract, if so, my comment stands.
I meant that the comparison was insulting!
Psst. ‘elude’
And by he I mean she… I skip letters sometimes.
@Mabs: Thanks! I did think something looked a bit wrong. :p
@ILPB: No, no, not sarcastic. I seriously can have short bouts of rather massive dementia, mostly when very stressed. It’s … educatiomanal.
That was my theory. Nothing she could think of sounded “serious” enough, and it would look worse if she lied and said she read NYT/WSJ daily and actually didn’t….
And, yes, she does come off as a little bit of a doofus.
I’m glad I’m not a politician.
I’m going to quote it. I still find it astonishing.
Katie Couric: And when it comes to establishing your worldview, I was curious: what newspapers and magazines did you regularly read before you were tapped for this to stay informed and to understand the world?
Sarah Palin: I’ve read most of them, again with a great appreciation for the press, for the media.
KC: But, like, what ones specifically? I’m curious.
SP: All of ‘em, any of ‘em that have been in front of me over all these years.
KC: Can you name a few?
SP: I have a vast variety of sources where we get our news too. Alaska isn’t a foreign country, where, it’s kind of suggested and it seems like, ‘Wow, how could you keep in touch with what the rest of Washington, D.C. may be thinking and doing when you live up there in Alaska?’ Believe me, Alaska is like a microcosm of America.
For a V.P. candidate, it’s definitely unacceptably poor, yes.
I was and still am of the opinion that even Palin didn’t expect to be selected as a VP candidate. I mean that infamous Couric interview was just excruciating to watch. Palin was like a deer trapped in headlights the whole way through and wasn’t much better in the campaign though she did learn quickly.
In fact as much as I despise almost everything she stands for and believes in I think she’s been much more capable and effective at communicating her ‘message’ since retiring as Alaska’s governor though she has been more selective about picking her targets.
Guess it goes to show experience trumps booksmarts
How much is she paying you to shill for her?
You think everything she’s been investigated for is bogus? What about all the money she had to pay back for the trips with her daughter to New York? What about all the money she had to declare on her income tax for a “per diem” for living at her own house? What about her vendetta against her former brother-in-law?
Really, how much is she paying you? It can’t be much, she is too greedy.
Huffington Post much? There are other news sources out there your know…and no..air america does not count.
But LiberalBlgo.com does..
Liberal Blago!? *shudders*
“Blago”
KILL IT!! KILL IT!!! KILLITWITHFIRE!!!11!!!
Fire near that much hairspray=explosion nearly the size of Hiroshima.
Now Justa, justa cuz he has big hair doesn’t mean he’s a bimbo.
Somewhere I’ve seen the wind blowing that rug around. And it was all moving in one piece. That’s hair spray or gel one. Both quite flammable.
It would be interesting, though. I wonder if hair gel has fallout?
Insert [a picture] of the wind blowing that rug around. DUH
*tries hard to picture weird hair blowing around and spraying dried glue fallout*
Wasn’t that a scene in Night of the Comet?
*hangs head*
Thanks for making me feel soooo old with that movie reference, JAC.
Is that what he calls that hair?
What does the Huffington Post reference mean? What does the “other news sources out there” reference mean? Are you saying that she DIDN’T have to return the money? Are you saying she DIDN’T have to pay taxes on the “per diem” she got while living at home? Are you saying that those two items are not correct?
You are either very stupid, or a shameless liar.
Wait, maybe you are both.
I think maybe he was calling you a total 100% pure Dumb A$$!!!! And I’m pretty sure most of us agree.
You’d be wrong then. Now answer the question.
LOL, Ivan, of *course* you’re in the majority…
biff’s accusations, while technically true, leave out the meat of the actual story, and are therefore false. He’s misstating the situation in order to make it appear as though Ms. Palin did something untoward or illegal. She did not.
You are right on the one level – I think many people understemate (or is that misunderestimate) her… I didn’t say she wasn’t shrewd… I think she is politically shrewd, but I think she’s ignorant on many policy levels… I know a lot of people who are “book stupid”, but “street wise”…
MG: I disagree. It’s not just the interviews. It’s the fact that the media attacks her family as well. And by media I don’t mean pundits. Hilary’s landing under sniper fire was just as dumb as anything Palin has said, or Pelosi saying that you should also freeze defense funding (initially she said ALL) when two wars are going on, or Reid’s “speaking negroid” comment, I mean COME ON folks. To say that Sarah Palin has been unjustly attacked within the liberal media is an accurate statement. AND I’m NOT a fan of hers.
I would say that Palin was attacked by the media, as was Clinton and Coakley. Martha Coakley is a dull bird, Clinton has said some dumb things, Palin has said some dumb things. But so has every male candidate in the world. But they each got hammered on their dress, their hair, etc–all in ways that men have not.
—–
Scott Brown on the other hand posed nude in a magazine–can you imagine a female candidate in this country succeeding after doing that?!?!
He had a strategically placed towel.
I’m saying that against Palin it went above and beyond the standard “female bashing” that Clinton ever got.
Too bad you are wrong.
It’s teh stoopid!!! If you can’t detect her shallowness and vapidity, then YOU must be stupid too.
ILPB, I have to admit, you can’t argue with logic like that.
That sounds like a shallow and vapid thing to say, Dhoti. YOU are stupid too!!1!eleventy!!!!
I’m just mad you’re not in the KKK *froth froth froth*
Oh, I guess you must be amazed and overwhelmed by her intelligence.
Which makes you not just stupid, but pathetic.
Yes b/c Dhoti and I are calling her a Rhodes Scholar in every post. I’m pretty sure we basically have just said that the media and liberals are attacking her more than they should, and you’re intellginet babbling has not only helped to validate our points, it shows your inability to read and comprehend, which to me shows lack of intelligence. Therefore through association you’re a complete and utter Fvcktard!!!
How ironic, biff, that you’re spewing nothing but manure. Now make like a tree and get out of here.
biff, stop with the fvcking liberatrolling! You make us look bad with the douchie attitude!
Seriously, you’re making us look bad. The position of making liberals look bad is already filled. Though PETA is recruiting I hear.
Dhoti: What does everyone have against trees? Poor trees are always being shooed off! Well I’m not going to take it anymore! *hugs a tree* This tree can stay right here!….What? Oh, no, Biff can still get out of here, I’m just trying to protect the trees.
Yes, but can you imagine what the fallout would be if a female candidate had posed in Playboy, even if she did have a strategically placed towel? She would NEVER hold any kind of public office.
HOW: My comment was made strongly with tongue in cheek. I agree….. but really most women that pose for Playboy have as many Brain Cells as Palin, and do you think she’ll acheive anything further?
“most women that pose for Playboy have as many Brain Cells as Palin”
Some, yes. Not all. You’d be surprised how many don’t fall within that stereotype.
And the Stripper is working her way through Meidcal School!!!
That’s possible too. But I’m only speaking from what I personally know, not from anecdotal “evidence”.
There’s really no reason that a bright, attractive woman of limited means might not elect to make more money posing nude or stripping than she could doing a crap part-time job in the school library or a family restaurant.
Pretty and/or sexy does not = dumb, but it can = bucks, at least for a few years.
*Much* better tips.
You obviously haven’t watched much TMZ or VH1 special with Playboy Bunnies in them. I’m sure there are a few intelligent ones, but when I hear Playboy I think Girls Gone Wild!!!! Same thing with Male models, I think Zoolander…
Really? I think Scott Brown …
Hey I never siad it was a good thing… I’m just saying….
Playboy did do a “Women of the Ivy Leagues” issue. I suspect those were not stupid women.
The idea that a woman can be smart AND pretty is a rather misogynist stereotype. And really tiresome. (I was a very cute college girl, and I swear that most guys started stammering in disbelief after “Math major” hit their ears.)
I don’t know that Palin is dumb; I do think, from what little media interaction was allowed with her, that she is terribly uneducated about world affairs, at least for a vice presidential candidate. Now for a pundit, that’s perfect.
ILPB, I’d agree with you on GGW — you have to be pretty dumb to let somebody ELSE make all the money off your boobs, if you’re going to show them.
I also suspect there’s probably a difference between a girl just doing a centerfold or feature and buying into the whole “image and lifestyle”, the “OMG I IZ A BUNNY” mentality; which would come into play in who you see in the reality stuff.
Hey I never said HOT = Dumb…. I said Hot and willing to model naked throughout the world = Not intelligent life choice all the time.
Hey let’s go back 12 years and see some Presidential Bush……
Mabs: Ivy League = Intelligent. High IQ and ability to study, but not necesarily smart. The Gal who went to Yale from my HS could be tricked into removing her sweater in a heartbeat….
OMG that was you?!
It really depends on the Ivy. At Harvard, dozens of students tragically strangle themselves every year trying to tie sweaters around themselves. Even at the good ones, there’s definitely an intelligence/legacy divide.
I’m still waiting for a “Girls of the Geek League” calendar — MIT, Carnegie Mellon, Caltech…
If you get a a Girls of the Geek League I want a Men of the Geek League calendar. Knowing a guy is nerdy and intelligent actually makes him more physically attractive to me.
I have met a number of women who worked as strippers in college to help pay the bills, and they were, on average, neither smarter or dumber than anyone else. Hell, if I was more coordinated, I might consider stripping for money, my hours at the bookstore keep getting cut and my health insurance went up again this year.
I don’t know if anyone I knew/know ever did that for a living. I think people are probably afraid of being judged, which is sad. The women of one local strip club wanted to host the residents of a battered women’s shelter for a holiday dinner, and the a$$ who ran the place turned them down because ‘they were immoral.’ He’s a sanctimonious jerk. They found someone else to take them up on it, thankfully.
ILPB: I have a problem with her dragging her family in front of the media to use them for her own gain, then attacking that same media for “attacking her family.” Ya gets whats ya paid fer…
She went on the offensive against the “Liberal Media” from almost the second she was named to the ticket… so I think the media treated her like a hostile witness… is it fair, probably not; then again, ask Obama how fairly he’s been treated by FOX!
I think EVERY Politician has their family on stage during rallies, etc…. she just happened to have a mentally challeged son, Daughter who was pregnant out of wedlock, etc.. etc… It’s just that the media went after her like a fat kid after cake.
Because she had a pregnant teen daughter and preached “Abstinence” as a viable birth control lesson…
I don’t remember anyone attacking her Downs kid (I’m sure someone somewhere did), and if they did, I’d be disappointed as I think that is definitely out-of-bounds…
There was the whole news story that the child was properly her daughter’s as Palin never looked Pregnant…. it was quite disgusting.
Sort of like Obama preaching Sacrafice to people, yet his Daughters get a brand new playground?
Or Cheney preaching against same sex marriage, YET he has a lesbian daughter that the media stayed away from.
Or Bush being a recovering alcoholic (or at least trying to unparty it down) and his daughters get caught with fake IDs in a club?
Oh, I agree with you; but, we are ALWAYS going to see that in politics, from every side.
I honestly don’t remember that story about Palin… but if that’s the case, they should be ashamed of themselves.
I understand that, my point is the media went out of its way on Palin, and to not see to me is drinking an aweful lot of Kool-Aid. Once again, not a fan of Palin.
Palin got it easy from the media. It may seem like she was hit hard, but if people are still confused enough to think she has any good qualities, they were easy on her.
So was that Fruit Punch, Grape, or Lemonade Kool-Aid for you?
I actually had the red kool-aid and the applesauce. *drops dead*
I think attacking her family was unfair because they don’t attack other politicians families like that. I agree with going after her for saying abstinence only is the way to go while having a pregnant teenage daughter, but I think they should attack other politicians in the same way.
I can’t say with certainty how much was her putting her family in the lime light and how much was the media attacking her unfairly as I quickly learned to change the channel whenever she was on as I couldn’t stand listening to her(not her voice, but what she was saying, which reminds me…). I also found the whole ‘Hilary Clinton’s voice reminds me of my nagging wife’ thing that was in the media really ridiculous. If her voice is so grating to you, maybe you need rethink your marital situation.
Hmmm…don’t recall the media attacking Obama’s family when he brought them up on stage several times. Hypocrite much?
That’s MY POINT!!! She started an antagonistic relationship with the “liberal left leaning media and blogosphere!!!” WTF Did she expect from them???
Obama has cultivated the media (except for FOX) and enjoyed the fruits of that cultivation… it’s politics!!!!!!!!
“fruits of that cultivation” = 30% drop in approval rating? I don’t get it!!!!
I think the media built Obama up too much, and tore down Palin too much. It shows in the country’s attitude now. It’s like Clinton, when the media and Conservatives attacked him too much about Monica, his approval rating went up. I think the American population is tired of “Blame Bush”, “Palin is a floozy”, “Obama can do no wrong”, and it’s showing in the polls.
I wasn’t talking about his approval rating… moreso the friendly treatment he got/gets from the media.
I do have one problem with the “Blame Bush” principle that the Repubs are touting… The guy DID inherit a bunch of problems caused during the Bush Admin… to not recognize that by EITHER side is irresponsible…
NONE of the Republicans had ANY PROBLEM BLAMING CLINTON FOR NOT GETTING OSAMA BIN LADEN… so for them to go back now and say that one adminsitration shouldn’t blame another is simply hypocritical.
But I do agree that there is definitely a backlash from Obama-mania… how could there not be??? I equate it to the “Backstreet Boy- syndrome”… anything that is white-hot popular for any length of time is sure to have a backlash of people at some point who were, even if they won’t admit it, fans…
“White”-hot? RAAAAAACIST
Well, if I said “red hot”, I’m sure someone would claim racism against the American Indian!!
Hmm, I hadn’t thought about that one. *files away*
I’m pretty sure “Hot Chocolate” also would have been deemed racist…
Mmmm, now I want some hot chocolate.
I always think of it as Titanic backlash. Right after that movie came out there were plenty of men who admitted to having cried during the movie. When everyone started hating the movie those same guys insisted they had never even seen the movie.
Oh I cried during Titanic. Do you know how many dogs drowned on Titanic. And my GOD what a beautiful ship to disappear.
“white-hot popular” = poor choice of wording?!?!?
I understand that there are some issues that Obama inheritted, but his handling of siad issues hasn’t been stellar, and blaming Bush for that is now getting thin. There were people blaming Bush for Health Care failing… he had nothing to do with that. People blamed the under-wear bomber on him as well. The Blame Bush is getting awefully thin. It’s been a year, things are getting worse not better, and instead of dealing with the current issues he’s worrying about a social agenda (not socialistic though it could be argued). Clinton couldn’t get Health Care passed with a Healthy Economy, how the hell does Obama think he can do it in a $hitty one.
Clinton was kind of at fault for that one, he was behind four attacks on American soil/ seas (Embassy = to American Soil) and Clinton did minimal to detract any future attacks. Was Bush also responsible for underestimating Osama, 100% Yes, but some of the blame could be placed on Clinton.
I am one of the Obama-supporters who is not satisfied with Obama’s performance as of yet as well. I agree that he has pressed his social agenda too hard too soon.
But I can almost guarantee you that if nothing improves and a Republican is voted in, and within a year his approval rating took a 30% nosedive, he’d blame Obama for the situation he’s in…
There is nothing new with one administration blaming the previous administration…
In someways a bad economy is a better one for health care reform, with more people unemployed you have more people without healthcare….
Medicare Part D was under Bush with his blessing (I don’t recall how strongly he backed it, but he was definitely in favor). It was a completely unfunded federal program and a complete giveaway to the drug companies. It is one of the reasons Medicare is out of money.
I think Obama could easily have gotten Health Care reform passed last spring with the election momentum if he had been willing to do so through reconciliation as Bush pushed his agenda through.
Also, does anyone else recall ,as I do, that the media fawned over Palin for the first week or so? I remember it. McCain’s early (pre-convention) announcement of her choice totally killed Obama’s post-convention bounce! But then it also put Palin out there early for the media to research her background. (used to be they didn’t announce the VP pick until late during the candidate’s party convention)
Yeah, cutest Sarah Palin photo ever!
She is channeling Britney Spears.
More like Fidel Castro but then she wouldn’t know that.
She would too know that’s a neighborhood in San Francisco!
Oh and the Russians shooting those poor people in Georgia?
How can Obama just let that happen?! On. our. soil. *sobs*
LMAO. *standing o*
Those riots? In Paris? Where were the Texas Rangers when we needed them??!!!
Most women can…. of course it’s fun to watch them collapse afterwards (if done appropriately)..
*is also curious to know ILPB’s credentials*
@pitty – Why thank you! I’m hot AND smart so I can do whatever I want and will, most likely, get away with it.
In bed, standing up, with peanut butter.
**while PB is standing on his head!!!**
That could be most entertaining to watch if it’s a waterbed!
Who said anything about a bed… I was looking at a balconey..
And like other things, the plot … thickens.
No no no….. thinner the better…. thinner the better… until a certain point, then the “thicker plot”..
I don’t know, this is sounding like fun. I may have to try it.
I lol at this entire discussion because I can’t help thinking of a woman I know who is about five feet tall and whose husband is six feet plus. Them ‘standing up’ would present the logistic difficulties of a Chihuahua and a Great Dane.
Just get her a step ladder. Or if he’s on his knees and shes standing…Tomorrow is oral day after all….
At least I provoked conversation. *flies off*
*standing o*
(hee hee)
Don’t hurt yourself!
She’s a professional, she does this all the time.
I do her.
I’d do Tina Fey too, for that matter..
I’d do them both at the same time if they wanted me to..
I think I’ll take my pill and go back to sleep now.
Eh, Todd I assume, that’s really an inappropriate comment on this site. Children read this stuff you know.
New here?
I’d do her(e)?!?
hear hear, dear!
Cheer, cheer Deer (rug on Palin’s floor, where I’d do her)
Don’t get poked by an antleer!
An antleer in the reer? I have feer.
Perhaps you should steer clear of the beer …
Let me make that cleer…… as you apeer, is HOW you are.
Do her? She’s been done to death, especially in here… When there is so much more going on in the political arena these days to poke fun at. *sigh*
OMG you fantasize about killing women with the sex act? Sick!
Death by snoo snoo? Awesome!
OK that’s proof. I knew it! You *are* Uncle Fester, aren’t you?
The spirit is willing, but the body is broken.

What a cute little Che Guevara hat she’s wearing!
THAT’s funny!!!!!
¡Viva la Revolucion!
Quick, everyone down to GAP before the hoodies sell out!
Damn, all sold out.. all I they had a hoodie with a picture of Mao on it. Who the hell wants that fat guy on a hoodie?
Wait… wasn’t Stalin kinda skinny… QUICK!!! We could corner the market!!!
No way Stalin was like the Good Ole US of A people, portly!!!! His face can’t be at the GAP, A&F, Guess, etc… he’s an Old Navy, Walmart, K-Mart XXXXL Type O’Guy.
Yes, but Lenin was well fit! Respet!
Nope… too bald!
Patrick Stewart?
Trotsky. Total pin-up boy for the revolution!
My vote goes to Trotsky!
Aww poor Hu Jintao gets none of the love these days
Whut? Hu? Who’s hu?
Ooooooo…an owl. Owls are pretty.
Speaking of owls, where’s my Keithy? I miss my Keithy! And tomorrow is Oral day, I can’t have Oral Day without him!
I don’t know. I need the Canucks to return. I have all these questions after reading about their constitution!
@mabs: What’s yer question, eh?
PS. Can you guys send some good luck my way? I’ve got job interviews all this week and today’s the big one. Keep your fingers crossed, please!
Nucky: Wear something low cut and a short skirt and you’ll do fine…
Oh, best of luck to our Nucky!! (I suppose you don’t ask them if they offer health care benefits when you interview, eh?) Let me think:
May your hair be fine
and they like your mind.
May your words be witty
and your shirt not dirty.
May your answers be clear
and not coming through beer!
Okay, I confess, part of the non-French-Canadian-American part is Irish-American.
PS Don’t listen to ILPB. He’s too old to realize it
, but the interviewer might be a woman! (And not the kind that likes other women.)
Question: Does your govt finance religious schools and are the religious schools as weird as some of ours (new earthers, etc)?
Thanks, guys! ILPB, the shirt is low cut, but no skirt. Didn’t want to overwhelm them with my sexiness.
Mabs, yes, I will be asking about health benefits – for dental, vision care and prescriptions. And thanks for the irish, I’ll need it.
@mabs: We have a public system and a catholic system for the schools. Both get funding from the government (When they do a census, you tell the person which school system you support). Private schools are allowed, I believe that they do receive some money from the government. We also have chartered schools which offer more programs for the kids. They are publicly funded, but answer directly to the province rather than the local school board.
@Mabs: I’m only 32, what do you mean too old. So are you saying the glass ceiling doesn’t exist anymore?!?!?!? **wink wink**
I know (don’t recall how I know). I was harassing you because you’re quite a bit younger than I am.
But appearances are VERY important. My favorite story has to be the interviewee at a local non-profit who brought her purse with the word f**k all over it in bright pink. The interviewer was still dazed by it the next week. It was the only thing she remembered about the interviewee. (I think it would probably be the only thing I remembered.
)
Test… test… did I misenter my email last time?
Kill the SOCK!!!!!!
Sock it up, PM.
Friends should not argyle like this!
Why I knew you when you were knee high to a grass hopper!
Perhaps PM is a closet Muslin?
What hose that got to do with socks?
Muslin is a fabric..
Tube be honest, I think you’re stocking me.
If you’re in stockings, I’m full of sweat…
Well, darnit, what woolly think of next?
Do you folks spend all day Ragg-ing on each other?
LOL. Someday Palin will be remembered as the flash-in-the-pan political has-been who looked like Tina Fey.
Actually, future historians will wonder why there were apparently two comedians with the same act.
It is hard to tell from so far in the future that only one was intentional.
You’re just confused by the fact that the obvious difference between the two is that you don’t want to punch Tina Fey in the face repeteadly whenever she opens her mouth and says something, whereas this reaction is quite natural when Palin speaks.
You fantasize about beating women? Really?
Seek help.
Dhoti you forget… to some liberals Palin isn’t a woman, but some Cyborg thingy sent to this Earth to destroy them…. with wind tunnel logic.
Dude, if Palin actually managed to destroy us liberals, then we’d deserve it. Cos that would be PATHETIC.
She’s helping y’all are so busy trying to demonize her, you’re giving the conservatives time to rally….. keep it up, keep attacking our little patsy target!!!
MWHAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH “excellent”
Dammit! It’s so brilliantly simple, and we’ve fallen for it! No more will we fall for your conservative tricks! No longer will we…wait, now what did she say?
Indeed. It would be like being punched in the face.
Enough with the punching people!!!
Seriously. Don’t you know that all us liberals are panty-waisted pacifists? If you don’t stop this violence we’re just going to have to kill you.
Right! And, um, we hate guns! *pushes shotgun behind door* Hate ‘em.
*whispers* It’s loaded right? We’ll probably need it to kill this one….
As my friend who was co-owner of a jewelry store and was their armed escort for deliveries always said, “It makes a really expensive club.’
Well, that’s only a last resort. You know, when the zombies come and we run out of ammo, we can bash them in the head….
Well, you can damage the gun.
Which is why we only do it as a last resort. Better to have a club that no longer works as a gun than to have a working gun and be a zombie.
No, he fantasizes about beating up a specific woman. This can be utterly wrong, or simply entirely understandable.
Um, no. Beating up a woman — which is what he’s implying, and quite different from, say, “man, that Sarah Palin is so stupid, I want to smack her” — is not “entirely understandable”.
No he’s saying (not in these exact words) Unlike Tina Fey (who does not evoke this response in me), Sarah Palin makes me want to smack her (Sarah) in the mouth every time she (still Sarah) says something.
But really advocating violence on “one” woman for the specific reason given is STILL advocating violence against women. It’s not like Forrest actually said I would punch Sarah in the mouth if she levelled her rifle at me and I felt I was in danger………
Thanks to both ILPB and Dhoti for saying what I was thinking.
I was assuming it was hyperbole.
So by wanting to hit Palin; Forrest wanted to hit himself? Oh wait that’s a Hyperbola….
I think you’re all hyperventilating. Oh wait, that’s hyperbaric …
No, that he was exaggerating for effect, rather than actually making a rational statement of something that he would actually DO, given the opportunity.
I know plenty of people who, when I think of having to deal with them, I occasionally think “I’d like to punch him/her in the face,” but I don’t actually DO it.
“Fat guy punch the baby in the face!”
**WHAM**
“I do good Meg”
“Maybe you bring a blazer so we can visit a wider variety of restaurants”
“I…I’ll bring a blazer…”
Stress: the effect caused by one’s mind overriding one’s body’s desire to choke the cr*p out of some a$$ who richly deserves it.
Would you like some of our kitty’s anti-anxiety drugs, diss?
Yes, thank you.
They’re roofies!!!!! Mabs is looky for some nooky..
I think it on a daily basis. Roughly. Like, every time someone who’s on the escalator stops to look around as soon as they reach the next floor, or when someone meets a friend and stops to talk to them in the door opening, or when …
Yeah. I deal plenty of mental punches to the face daily. To men, women and children. Boohoo. :p
I must concur, except that if you are talking about small children, it is the oblivious parent that I usually want to shake by the throat and scream something like, “DO YOU NOT SEE THAT YOUR CHILD IS TRASHING OUR STORE?” *froth froth*
Sorry about that. Probably it’s for the best that I only work in a store as a volunteer once a week and not as my actual job.
Yes – if they are children of the sort that have parents nearby, it’s the parent I direct my fantasy wrath at. ;p
Since working at the library, where I shelve the childrens DVDs, my desire to inflict serious bodily harm on parents/babysitters/nannies has risen dramatically. Though I was very proud of the three year old who actually threw a tantrum because her mother didn’t put the books back on the shelf right.
Sometimes children can renew your hope in humanity’s future.
There, I think, is where it crosses the line. When you talk about punching someone annoying you have to deal with, that’s hyperbole (hopefully
). When you talk about punching a woman repeatedly “whenever she opens her mouth” because you don’t like what comes out, that’s douchebaggery.
Maybe I’m misreading his tone here, but I’m detecting more than a hint of “I’ll show her not to open her b!tch mouth” in his statement.
Dude he totally was wearing a “Wife Beater” complete with stains too…
Hold on, let me go look through the “People of Walmart” archives for him…
Test?
How effed up is this….apparently you can’t say “Willie the gentleman who prefers to sell the bodies of young women for profit and keep his hand strong” or variations thereof without getting moderated. Twice. Even with a symbol in place of the “I”. Fecking feckers.
*snerk*
You guys are hilarious!
You wouldn’t recognise sarcasm if it punched you in the face.
You right-wingers are very sadly predictable. And I see the Ringleader joined in – Mr. Caroliamnotrepublicanbutmiddleoftheroadeventhoughiamreallyrightwing
Hilarious!
Read up: this, then this.
As usual, no point.
Except the one on your head.
Actually, I haven’t joined in. I laughed at someones ignorant remark. And as for your name? I’ve made no bones about being FOR States Rights, individual freedom and less federal government. I find myself in agreement with Mr Madison in the Federalist papers.
But, if your naming things helps you feel better about spewing hatred of others, go ahead. I promise it wont bother me.
If nothing else, she is incredibly photogenic.
Especially her legs.
Don’t worry, she’ll quit for no reason after a few months.
Now now, she had her reasons. They weren’t very good ones, but they were technically reasons.
So what do you belive her reason were Rando? I am just wondering.
I would agree with the money aspect in that she is making a hell of alot more than when she was gov. Personally I would be looking for a way to make more money if I ended up $500,000 or more in debt primarily due to someones political beliefs being different than mine.
I would be willing to bet you would change jobs if it were costing you more money out of your pocket than you were bringing in.
Awwwwww, poor Sarah.
*did a double-take at this post for no apparent reason*
*walks off whistling*
Okelie dokelie then.
I’m willing to bet that if you were an Alaskan you’d be pretty darn happy she quit seeing as how you despise her and all…
*I* would be pretty darn happy, but those who voted for her (and since she was elected, I would assume the majority of voting Alaskans did) must be pretty disappointed. Honestly, I don’t know her track record as governor. All I know is that she would have made a nightmare of a VP, or worse yet, President. *shudder* Thanks for pitching in, though, Andy. I appreciate the butthurt.
Way to project there guy. Sorry your life sucks that bad. Just sayin, if you were an Alaskan you’d probably be among the happy crowd. Here, take this *toss* it’s a chill pill.
Don’t take it, Rando! It’s a trap! Andy is trying to roofie you up so he can have surprise buttsecks!!! ACK!!!
I didn’t know my life sucks so bad. froo, why didn’t you tell me??? I guess I should’ve been an Alaskan. *sigh*
Actually, we were going to have an intervention about the suck that is your life. There’s a sucky life rehab clinic we were even going to send you to, we would even pay for it. But you ruined the surprise, so no intervention for you.
“Sucky life rehab” — I don’t suppose that’s anything like the sex addiction rehab?
Must go to bed. You keep late hours, my dear. My burning questions about Canadian constitutional law will have to wait. If I understood FB and knew Nucky’s FB name, I could send them all to her!
Heheh, I work mostly evenings so I don’t have to get up early, and I’m a night owl myself. I was up till 4am yesterday cleaning house.
lol. I was just imagining changing the bed now (as hubby has been asleep for quite a while). Probably not the best idea.
PS FB is still the ebil.
Give it time. Soon you will be addicted.
This is purely anecdotal and second hand so feel free to disregard it, but from what I’ve been told by my Alaskan friends, the general sentiment regarding Palin is… mild disappointment. Her performance as governor was adequate but hardly impressive, and she seemed somewhat easily bullied in to questionable compromises.
They think her performance on the national stage reflects badly on the state in general, and her lack of preparedness was her major failing. Although most think the media took it way too far some of that was self inflicted. They believe she should have gone back to running the state and quietly slipped out of the national scene after the election instead of trying to do damage control on her image.
Over all Alaska is easily a swing state, the only constant being a tendency toward libertarianism, both left and right wing flavors.
I wonder why so many famous people seem to self destruct. Palin seems to have no connection between her brain and her mouth. Why when she is in the spotlight can’t she say something calm and sensible? They all seem to have this problem. Hillary’s “sniper fire” comment cost her the nomination in my mind.
If the women have a disconnect between their mouth and the brain, men seem to have a disconnect between their brain and their penis. Bill Clinton a brilliant man was so so stupid. What was with Tiger Woods? Why did he need so many? There must be a study somewhere on why the successful self destruct.
It’s called being watched 24/ 7. I’m pretty sure “everyday ordinary” people couldn’t stand up to such scrutiny either.
I’ve noticed something truly horrifying about mankind. We all like a good train-wreck. Somehow watching the strong, confident, intelligent people we look up to have their lives cracked open by the ‘media spotlight’ and have every shred of dirty laundry, every slight misstep, every moment of weakness fixated on, scrutinized and commented on, on the world stage seems to help us justify the moral ambiguity we allow in our own lives.
It’s rather disgusting in my opinion, that people in the public eye are held to a level of moral perfection so unrealistic that only those most skilled at hiding their humanity, of lying and covering up even their most minor imperfections can manage to maintain some level of public respect. Even then, the jackals are always hunting for some minor offence to use to tar and feather them.
It’s completely dishonest. If one of us were somehow thrust in to the spotlight I doubt any one of us would be able to look like anything but a blathering idiot and/or moral cesspit after a few seconds. Yet we would not hesitate to savagely attack our public figures, be they political, celebrity or otherwise, as if they were somehow responsible for our own failings by not being perfect role models for society.
I’m sure most of you have heard the comparison of the private vices of Lincoln, Churchill and Hitler, so I won’t repeat it here. I however would like to say that I personally prefer the idea of a leader who is unashamed of their humanity and their flaws, yet genuinely seeks to make a real positive difference in the development of their nation and the world. I don’t agree with Palin, but the circus that has surrounded her is really only partially her fault. The rest I blame on the sick voyeurism of modern society. If it didn’t sell, the ‘media’ would have lost interest long ago.
Well said!
Ditto…
Thirded. 24-hour news cycle FTL.
24 hours news should be taken out back and shot.
I absolutely agree. Nothing is more certain to produce a vast amount of humility and sympathy for actual public figures than seeing a 30-second spot of yourself being interviewed on the local news.
I think that is part of Oprahs appeal. She doesn’t hide her flaws, but puts them front and center for the most part. To a certain extent it’s almost like making fun of yourself for doing something stupid before anyone else has a chance to do it. It loses it’s impact if the person is already mocking themselves. It makes it very hard for the media to crucify her for something while showing her as human to her audience.
I agree though, it is disgusting to watch the media hound celebrities to their doom. I was actually glad when Anna Nicole Smith died because it meant that soon there would be no more stories on the news about her. Someone running around being generally crazy isn’t news and I don’t want to hear about it!!!!! *froths*
Oprah has the “Thin” Camera….
Shouldn’t that be on “Totally-looks-like”.
Has anyone else noticed that Forrest has 4-5 socks on this page? I think that Forrest is actually EWAdams’s socks. And it has all the different socks running with tabs open, just so it doesn’t miss a single reply. Venting all it’s anger at once.
I have a strange feeling that EWAdams is really the girl taking a bath in the restaurant sink. That would explain all the emotional drivel.
Can’t be, “restaurant-sink-girl” clearly had a sense of humor.
It’s “‘throw a fit about sink girl’ girl” that had issues… :p
(I meant that as agreeing with you, diss, but on reading it through it doesn’t quite look that way, so I clarify that here.)
Okay, this is off-topic, but ever since the riding discussions, I always think your little figure should be on a horse; it’s already in the proper stance.
Psst, Mabs, you forgot to change your name.
Argh!!!!
Migraines. :/
I am lucky enough to mostly suffer from the aura part of them. Still, a day at work with only tunnel vision (combined with the opposite where I cannot focus on anything I look directly at) is rather annoying. Fortunately, that’s only followed by mild headaches and nausea.
I get these weird pains in my left eye. I don’t usually get the visual effects (although I had incredible visual effects when I had preeclampsia, but that may have been more from the almost dying and all). I do get olfactory hallucinations, which my son and husband find quite entertaining as I walk around the house smelling things to track down nonexistent odors.
I have been seeing a DOM (Doctor of Oriental Medicine) and am now actually amazingly better.
I’m seeing a Domme..
I don’t think that would help the migraine pain….
Try some LSD.
Hee hee. I think I’ll stick with the ‘drugs that cannot be named for fear of the moderators.’
Tallywhacker.
Um, what?
Psst. Mabs, just smile and nod. I think Ivan is suffering Shorty withdrawals. (Where is she, BTW?)
Okay, but I’m smiling and nodding from over there. (What happened to your name?)
I just noticed it. Have no idea. I’m logged on at home now and I’ve never done that before. Maybe it’s my computer? Weird.
You’re probably logged in to WordPress. If you log out, and just put your name & e-mail in, it shouldn’t do that.
Inside joke. Charro will get it.
Oh right. Now I remember. BTW, Ms. Booty Wench, you have a cool avatar. What was cooler was when my Blues came to Calgary and blanked them 2-0. *evil laugh*
Rando, the Flames are just playing possum right now. Really, that’s all it is. It’s not that they are sucking so badly we’ve developed a vortex in Calgary…….
The LHC is now in Calgary?
My sympathies and prayers. I have a friend that gets regular migraines, as does my stepmother. I’m fortunate that I’ve only had an average of 1-2 a year, and that’s more than enough for me. I feel soooooo sorry for people that get them on a regular basis. When it hurts so bad that you can taste the pain, it’s getting serious. I usually have to find the quietest, darkest place I can, and even pace my breathing. Once I do that, it goes away after 3-4 hours.
I’ve seen people suffer with them nonstop for multiple days, and can’t imagine what that must be like.
So far, the worst one I had was alot of throbbing pain, it was so bad that I actually couldn’t think. I was trying to figure out exactly what part of my head I would need to cut out to remove the part that hurt, I couldn’t hold onto a thought long enough to realize that would actually be really really bad. Luckily I also couldn’t hold on to a thought long enough to realize there was a knife within arms reach of me. That was not a good day.
They (Einstürzende Neubauten) used it on a horse image for an album cover!
So, that was probably not what you meant, but still!
ROFL. Um, no. But it did give me a good laugh because it reminded me of seeing the elephant peeing at the Fort Worth Zoo. They pee a LOT!
So do the to-tos. And always while you’re waiting to remove the saddle after the ride or something. (You keep backing away in the silly notion that there’s any point to trying to keep the stable shoes clean.)
Okay, I tried urbandictionary and google this time (trying to maintain some appearance of intelligence), but ‘to-tos’? Is that slang for horse?
It should be toto, I think, my bad. Still. Yes. Ummm.- I am certain that I have heard horses referred to as “totos” in kiddie speak several times, but I’ll be damned if i can corroborate that even via Google. how depressing. :/
(Typos and cap errors due to having to go to the loo.
)
The only reference to ‘toto’ I found was Dorothy’s dog in “The Wizard of Oz,” but I assumed you were not riding tiny black dogs. (Swedes are all tall, right?
)
But I’ve seen the horsies pee…they got nothing on the elephant. Seriously, a waterfall. What’s really cute is that my rather prudish father in law reluctantly took and printed and mailed a pic to my son (who was, of course, delighted by the sight at age 10).
We’re abnormally normal* with an average height of 5’5″ for women!
And yeah, I can imagine that An Elephant’s Relief could be quite a show.
*) If you go by industrialised countries.
That’s my favourite of all their album covers. I think you should change your avatar..
I’m LOLing about that long fight we all had about whether or not sink-girl was attractive. LOL.
Was she fat? Was she curvy? Was she wild and crazy and fun? Was she totally irresponsible and a drunken lout+ Was she … etc. Yes, the good old days….
And DWN was mad attracted!
Wyrms are strange that way.
Tina Fey is butt ugly. Most liberal women are. That’s why most liberal men are either limp wristed or perpetually pissed off.
And you should piss off, WANKER!!! Shut-up and let the cordial conservatives say things.
And as a conservative I would totally bang Tina Fey…. OOOOHHH Tina Fey, Sarah Palin, it’s like the Wondermint Twins!!!
Oooh the marriage of those 2 would be dangerous, could cause the earth to implode. Still it would be a very sexy implosion
I’d totally bang a hot conservative as long as we didn’t actually have to talk.
My brother (who is about as liberal as me, occasionally moreso) was married to a conservative girl. It didn’t work out.
Nobody cares what you think, loser.
Know what I heard? I heard that no one cares what you think. Have you heard that too?
I wish he’d respond to us, just so we know that he knows that no one cares what he thinks.
No one cares what you think. Oh, and Phbbbbbbblt, too.
In addition and also it is entirely in toto possible and feasible and it might happen that no one cares what you think.
Oh FFS, shut the hell up already. Nobody cares what you think (and based on your observations, you’re also blind and stupid!)
I wouldn’t insult Blind and Stupid people like that Eddie….
Eddie, we’d like a word with you, please.
Uh-oh….
Pssst…mabs…At least part of your committee wouldn’t know what “Defamation” is.
Defacation is easy… it’s poo-ing!!!!!!
That’s why we must protect them!
No one caes what you think.
But we like cae with iing!
Oh for fukc’s sake.
<3
Thanks pitty.
Oh and also? Like, 70% of the women in Hollywood are Liberals. So, um, yeah, bullcrap.
Glad to see your self assessment skills are so good.
I AM CGRAY; I CANNOT PUSH REPLY! :p
(damnitdamnitfeckdamnit)
But you maintain your command of cuss words — must focus on the important things!
HAHA! I am not alooooooone!
(bloodyhell)
Why can’t we reply?
Was someone moderated? I don’t remember seeing anything truly nasty…..
@justacanuck:
No, i think there are more sinister froces at work here….
Doodoodoodoodoodoodoodoo…. (That is the Twilight Zone theme, not just a lot of crap, thankyouverymuch.)
@danbala: No worries, I actually hummed the tune as I read your post.
I scrolled up hoping to see cgray moderated out, but alas, no such luck.
Wild guess, the programming does funky stuff when we interact with the very last post in the thread. It’s a “-1″-check that’s missing in an array-handling somewhere, or similar.
No one cares what you think. Especially not Tina Fey.
I don’t care what you think.
I don’t really care what you think either.
The resemblance was uncanny until Palin opened her mouth and everyone realized it wasn’t just about looks.
In the news today: SARAHPAC spent $63,000 buying copies of Going Rogue for distribution. SARAHPAC also gave money to deserving candidates: $64,000 worth.
Sorry, but Sarah is much prettier than TIna.
Od pewnego czasu zastanawialem sie nad napisaniem podobnego postu. Nie wiem czy w sumie teraz to zrobie, bo wydaje mi sie ze chyba wyczerpales temat, dzieki za dobry post!
She is crazy as hell, but i wouldn;t mind meeting her in my bed.
