REALLY!!?!?!? A re-used picture with a re-used joke? We couldn’t really do any better? It almost makes me want to say “First”..
I join in by saying second
Gout is a medical condition that usually presents with recurrent attacks of acute inflammatory arthritis (red, tender, hot, swollen joint). It is caused by elevated levels of uric acid in the blood that crystallizes and deposits in joints, tendons, and surrounding tissues. Gout affects 1% of Western populations at some point in their lives.
Treatment with NSAIDs, steroids, or colchicine improves symptoms. Once the acute attack has subsided, levels of uric acid are usually lowered via lifestyle changes and long term prevention with allopurinol.
Historically, it was known as “the disease of kings” or “rich man’s disease”.
Eating fresh cherries will greatly help to alleviate the symptoms of gout.
Huh! I wonder if that is because they have so much calcium and vitamin C? *geeks out again*
I don’t know. My new boss has gout, to the point of not being able to walk at times, and he’s expressed how well it works. Someone else I know with gout has told me the same thing.
OK, sample of 2, but then again it is a somewhat rare condition. Coolness!
First? Hell, I don’t want to say anything that would admit I’ve even been here. Oy, and LOL number three for the day is also a recycled picture.
i come in shooting both of you
I’m not too worried you know how to use a gun, you can’t even use the reply button properly. I feel pretty safe.
But watch out cause he’s flinging spam.
Bloody Viking!!
We vikings reject him!
Are you a liberal college professor, too?
I’m going to regret saying anything but…
If you’re talking about the U of A shooting, what do the horrific actions of a mentally unstable person have to do with her political leanings??
What do you think the news would be if she were a conservative? Look at how quickly Joseph Stack was associated with the Tea Party movement, though there is (last time I checked) evidence that he has ever been associated or on the rolls of any tea party. Amy Bishop was a well known leftist activist, and nothing was mentioned. Several of the articles about Stack mentioned the tea partiers, then turned around and admitted there was no known connection.
Just like the Blago events, in the beginning, you had to Google Blago to find out what party he was a member of.
That was NOT my point. It does NOT matter what the politics are when you’re killing people. Why are you so quick to defend Dhoti’s very obviously bating statement (to which I regretfully responded)? And last time I checked Blago didn’t kill anybody.
Anyone from Il, or the surrounding states new that Blago was a democrat. He was a well known public figure who had been in the news for some time.
People from Il knew, but not if you were from other places and depending on the mainstream media.
And I agree with you. Politics shouldn’t matter when some nut shoots up or otherwise murders people. However, the media shouldn’t be so quick to try and point fingers when they think someone from the right wing is involved (though in the Joseph Stack case, unproven) and be so quick to avoid politics when it’s someone from the left.
Let a Republican screw up, and Republican will be the word of the day. Let a Democrat screw up, and you’ll hear nothing, or next to nothing. Froo posted a link some months back about it.
It makes a great drinking game when Republicans screw up. Every time you hear Republican or right wing(er) you take drink. Better have a BIG bottle.
Right. The Republicans are so horribly maligned and embattled. /sarcasm. I’m not getting into an argument about this with you. We’ll have to agree to disagree.
As for Blago, his political affiliation was mentioned in EVERY news story I heard.
So you’re cool with people being smeared by a supposedly impartial media, as long as they’re the “bad guys”. Yeah, that’ll never backfire. /sarcasm
Which is exactly why I mentioned it. (Of course, you knew that too, and just wanted to lecture someone.)
Get over yourself & your misplaced self-importance.
BUT I’m important… my mommy tells me that everyday!!!!!
*pats ILPB on the head* Of course you are. And you’re a beautiful, unique snowflake.
Who you calling a flake? Besides I’m too hot (temperature wise) to be a Snowflake. I AM my wife’s space heater.
I bet you are.
He’s just looking for a fight, I wouldn’t bother with it. He tried to goad me on the poppy fields thread, but I’ve realised it’s probably best to just ignore it. No matter what you say or do, he’ll find some accusation to throw your way.
Who’s goading? When you say something stupid, don’t be surprised when you get stupid jokes in reply. I didn’t even realize it was you — until you posted that giant wall o’ text. (Typing up a manifesto, by the way, is not generally considered a way to “ignore it”.)
But hey, whatever lets you sleep at night…
Zzzzzzzzz. Huh? What?
You know what helps me sleep at night? Alcohol. Lots of alcohol.
NyQuil NyQuil NyQuil.. We love you, you giant fooking Q!
@Rando: Now you’ve done it. In the future, whenever you’re winning an argument, Dhoti will now say “Of course you’d say that, you’re a well known alkie”…
Seriously, that’s what you think happens? BWAHAHAHAHA, hilarious! Wow! Oh jeez, I think I just peed myself a little…
Let me summarize for the class how one of your “arguments” usually goes:
1. Inarticulately restate the current party line
2. Make some offensive comment to lower the tone (“forced pregnancy” is your usual goto)
3. Wait for dissenting response
4. Now that the party line has been shown to be rubbish, grow violently angry and launch baseless, whiny, personal attacks against the responder
5. Declare victory, Baghdad Bob-style
6. Fire off an indignant email to the PK admins and the Masters of the Internet
Wow! I’ll bet you’re a barrel of laughs at parties.
Ivan, I can only imagine how you must fare in the real world.
In the real world, I’m a pretty funny guy. I get invited to parties, people like to hang with me and watch football and drink beer. I’m unfailingly polite to women and my elders. I open doors for people. I thank people who do me kindnesses.
You, on the other hand, appear to be a thoroughly miserable person. Now, that is just judging by your manner HERE. You never get “in” on the funny. You never joke or act like you’re having anything resembling a good time. You never post unless it’s to try to belittle someone with a different viewpoint to yours. Face it, my friend. You are NOT friendly or likable.
Either that, or you’re a paid hack for the republican party.
Or you’re having a really crappy year.
You’re so endearingly extremist, Ivan. Admit it — despite your rather weak protests to the contrary, the idea that someone, somewhere, is allowed to disagree with you just burns you up inside. So much, in fact, that you waste your days hijacking unrelated conversations on anonymous Internet message boards to spew forth your impotent wrath.
Still, it’s funny to see the lengths you’ll go to justify your adolescent behavior. I’m sure you have a party with supermodels to get to, big guy, so I’ll let you go…
Ok, we’ll go with “nasty and unlikable” then. *thumbs up*
Like I said — adolescent behavior. I rest my case. Have a nice life.
Ironic, from the person who came charging down the mountain of moral superiority…
You should work on that reading comprehension if that’s what you derived from my post.
You’re having difficulty separating your ego from a neutral interpretation. It’s a difficult skill to learn, yes, but a rewarding one; keep at it.
“It’s a difficult skill to learn, yes, but a rewarding one”
As you have proven that’s something you yourself only know through anecdotal evidence.
You can’t challenge me with logic, so you fall back to insults. Is this that magnanimous “agree[ment] to disagree” you mentioned earlier? Either way, duly noted.
If she doesn’t challenge you with logic, can she blind you with science?
If she doesn’t mind me calling her Miss Nakamoto, then yes, absolutely.
I’m regretting this already, but, and I quote:
“Dem furriners sure wear funny clothes, derp derp!”
As well as;
“Wow, the rod up your butt must have a rod up its butt. You take yourself WAY too seriously, chief”
Context, you see, is everything. In context, those were pointed and topical ridicule; out of context, they’re simply meaningless.
It’s not an insult if it’s the observed truth.
The context of the first quote, if you’ll recall, is your attempt to imply that I’m a troll. Which, of course, is after you’ve followed me to another thread.
The second is, you’ll note, after my apparent “manifesto” to which you seem incapable of responding “challeng[ing] me with logic”.
Don’t even bother responding to this, because it’s become obvious by now that for some reason you take joy in attempting to ridicule me, and from this point on, unless you’re making a joke (because this is, afterall, a joke site), or attempting some form of coherrent conversation not comprised of mudslinging.
It only looks that way because the alternative would make you look bad, and we can’t have that, can we?
@Churj: Actually, the first quote was pointing out that your statement was inane, and more than a bit intolerant. The second was in response to your emotional, self-protective outburst.
I’m sorry that you respond to criticism so badly. (Actually, no, I’m not, because it’s kind of hilarious to watch. Never change.)
You’re obviously having trouble sussing out what is reality/fact/truth; they have meds for that now, Dhoti.
*yawn*
Hey, guys, did I miss anything? *ducks and runs*
@Rando: Well, we canucks got another gold (WOOHOO), there’s a discussion on another thread about whether you should watch hockey during sex or have sex during hockey (depending on your view of it)…….uh, that’s about it. Nothing much happening really.
Blago’s affiliation was NOT mentioned for quite some time. Only after it was mentioned on a few conservative outlets did the mainstream fess up.
It’s not like it was hidden. He was the governor of freaking Illinois. His hair alone was already a celebrity long before the scandals.
LOL. For several days, you didn’t know, if you watched the mainstream media. More than a week with one network, if memory serves right. (I remember El Blabbo, Maha Mount Big Mouth going on and on about it)
I had to search for it, for whatever that’s worth. I didn’t know who he was until the scandal.
I did. Oh wait I live in IL. I used to see his last name on the “Open Road Tolling” and the first time I did I nearly crashed trying to figure out how to pronounce Blago…whatever..
Well, I had heard quite a bit about him, but St. Louis does a lot of Illinois news, so I can see how that wouldn’t be obvious. Still though, it’s not like it was being kept a secret. I mean, a Google search would pull it up in a second.
That’s kind of the point though. You’d have to do a Google search for it.
You can’t just Google it?
No, but I bet I can Google it.
Why don’t you just try Googling it?
I know I’m late today, but has anyone tried googling it?
No, g_d_ it! I’m going to Google it and you cant’ stop me!
Well, whatever you do, don’t try Googling it. That could have disastrous results. You’d better Google instead.
Andy! You dropped your finger on my keyboard! I was trying to google that thing for Froo.
A googol is the large number 10^100, that is, the digit 1 followed by one hundred zeros in decimal representation.
The term was coined in 1938[1] by Milton Sirotta (1929–1980), nephew of American mathematician Edward Kasner, when he was nine years old. Kasner popularized the concept in his book Mathematics and the Imagination (1940). A googol is of the same order of magnitude as the factorial of 70 (70! being approximately 1.198 googol, or 10 to the power 100.0784). In binary it would take up 333 bits. A googol has no particular significance in mathematics, but is useful when comparing with other very large quantities such as the number of subatomic particles in the visible universe or the number of possible chess games. Edward Kasner used it to illustrate the difference between an unimaginably large number and infinity, and in this role it is sometimes used in teaching mathematics.
Other names for googol include ten duotrigintillion on the short scale, ten thousand sexdecillion on the long scale, or ten sexdecilliard on the Peletier long scale.
weeeeee, i’ve always wanted to do that
And then there is the googleplex.
“A googolplex is the number 10googol, which can also be written as the number 1 followed by a googol zeros (i.e., 10100 zeros).
1 googolplex
= 10googol
= 10(10100)
= 1010,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000″
Googleplex is also the name of the headquarters of the company Google–for which I give them humor points!
Google is the happiest place on Earth! They have free food, a free espresso/juice/coffee bar, a lego room and a reading room! You can bring your dog to work, and they have a dinosaur! The dinosaur was dressed as a flamingo for Halloween!
You can Google it if you don’t believe me.
check out “google zurich” interior, i think you know how to find it. It has some of the coolest interior design i’ve ever seen, including slides between floors, gondola and igloo meeting rooms, and a “relaxation” fluid room with aquariums and cushioned bathtubs. I wish i could have that kind of workspace, i’d never want to leave the office.
Wow, look at all these Google…things. Maybe someone should google this stuff. It’s a lot to take in.
But has this google thing it been proven on mythbusters? *giggles madly and runs off*
I knew that Blago was a democrat, and I’m from another country. I saw his designation nearly every time I saw a news item about him.
I would agree with that, Rattus. What I saw of him always labelled him as R
AAARRRRRRGGGHHH Finger slip, I swear!!! He was always labelled as a D!!!!!!
Actually some stations did have an “R” for a while. It was quite entertaining…. then I realized he was from Ill and I knew he had to be a “D”….
I do remember hearing that. That has happened the other way around too, though. Fox news (I believe) labelling someone who cheated on their wife as a D, when they were an R?
Foley and Craig were both labelled (D).
Well, cheating on your wife = Democrat. Cheating on your wife with a man = Republican. Cheating on your wife with an endangered species = Green Party.
Muahahaha! *laughs maniacally and runs away to hide*
Hey, that spotted owl was a consenting party to everything that went on ….um, I mean, whut?
It’s not cheating if your spouse agrees and/or joins! I mean…um…sh!t….
Blago’s okay, because he’s not just a Democrat, he’s an Illinois Democrat. It fits the narrative, so it’s acceptable.
Kwame Kilpatrick, the former mayor of Detroit, is another good example — when he was in the news for corruption and perjury charges, you had to hunt to find out that he was a Democrat, if it was even mentioned at all.
I think “Blago” could be used in place of a swear word. Like “bugger”. Oh, Blago.
“when he was in the news for corruption and perjury charges, you had to hunt to find out that he was a Democrat, if it was even mentioned at all.”
Thereby demonstrating the lack of perception and reading comprehension that characterize you. It was in the top couple paragraphs of every news report *I* saw about him.
And yes, I’m glad he was convicted, he was a scum bucket. How much time did he end up getting for his crimes?
PM, the way you barge in, hackles raised, insults flying…it’s downright, what’s the word, disagreeable. Especially when you show up armed with nothing but a specious personal anecdote, it makes me think logical discourse isn’t the first thing on your mind.
Flame on, good sir…flame on.
Oh, and he served all of 99 days in prison — then fled to a multi-million dollar lifestyle in Texas, courtesy of one of his campaign donors. Apparently pimpin’ really is easy, at least if you’re a connected flack.
With a hair cut like that, I did die a little inside.
Is what Dhoti said anything worse than saying “going postal”? or “going OJ”? And JAC is somewhat right with his “defense” of Dhoti. If a conservative does something like that the media splashes his political ideals all over, but if it’s a liberal it’s hard to find. Von Brunn’s first line in any article was “A rifle-wielding white supremacist “.
I think the point JAC was making was, right or wrong, the media puts right leaning ideals first in the article but sometimes bury the left leaning ones, when it comes to violence.
Well, us libtards want to take away all your guns. Of course one of us wouldn’t resort to shooting people WITH A GUN.
Don’t liberals beat people to death with sad-eyed puppies or am I thinking of another group?
Yeah y’all use “Flower Power” and stuff…..
NOTE I said sometimes, didn’t say always…. I also siad “right or wrong”….. I think if the crime is paiitically motivated (obviously so, not speculated) by all means let the Politics leak through, but half the time it’s just a crime.
Pffffbbtthhfff. Those approaches haven’t been working. I think we need to make your heads asplode fighting against universal health coverage. Assured self-destruction and we wouldn’t even need to leave the house.
My head won’t splode, we’re winning on Health Care…
I double dog dare Congress to make Health Care part of a Budget Bill, you wanna see 1994 again?
I’d have to say you’re best weapon to get rid of us…. ummm ummm melt the polar ice caps with Global Climate Changing that has nothing to do with warming anymore…. or worse, give Al Gore and Michael Moore the surgery to unhinge their jaws, and then tey’ll eat us.
“give Al Gore and Michael Moore the surgery to unhinge their jaws, and then tey’ll eat us”
Thanks for that mental image. I’ll just send you my bill for therapy, shall I? *shudders*
Those poor, poor conservatives. Nobody loves them.
Everybody hates them
Sitting in the garden eating worms, yum yum
Hey! You have the worm song, too? I didn’t know that. The truly great diamonds of American culture are scattered across the world. *happy sigh*
One of my former co-workers would launch into that one everyonce in a while. My other co-worker would sing I’m taking home my baby bumblebee. Mine was Mares Eat Oats. Drove our lawyers nuts
I had a book when I was little called Ellie and the Ivy, at one point someone comes in and says (to the best of my memory)”Marzee Dotes and Dozzey Dotes, and liddleams eat Ivy, a kiddle eat ivytoo would’nyou.” It was the Mares eat oats son.
(and figuring out what the actual words were was the solution to the main problem in the book).
Spoiler alert!
—
I’ve been past the IV animal feed factory, in NH. Which made that song a little less mysterious…
It wasn’t a “defense” so much as commentary.
Oh come on JAC. Just come out and admit that you’re a conservative republican. You’re among friends.
But that would be lying. I’ve made it more than clear several times that I would most closely identify with James Maddison and the Federalist Papers.
Outside of abortion and capital punishment, there really isn’t much difference between the Democratic and Republican parties of today. They both have a romantic relationship with our wallets, yet the people are the only ones getting screwed.
*sigh* Denial ain’t just a river in Egypt.
You’re absolutely right! You are in denial! You can’t label someone in the way that suits you, and it just tears you up.
LOL Project much?
Not at all Ivan. Now do all all a favor, and get your rant over with. Whine about how bad people who must get the last word in, as you repeatedly come back and make sure you do.
And while we are on the subject of your whining , lets all notice how you belittle people for presenting a viewpoint other than yours, and then bemoan how evil people are that present their point of view while not being tolerant of others views.
JAC: Ivan would NEVER do such a thing **cough cough** Match.com thread **cough cough**
*swoops in to get the last word on an argument I’m not even in since everyone else so desperately wants to get last word*
There, now I have the last word, and none of you guys have the last word, so all of you shut it!!! *wags finger*
LAST!
Nuh-uh, LAST!!
So do we ordinal post when someone says “last?”
And Rando, your buddy FiFi needs some midol, maybe you would be kind enough to buy him some. Look up, he started whining for nothing. But then again, that’s not unusual, is it?
What, that you’re a conservative? Dude, you are. I can’t remember any time you came down on anything the left supports. And if you’re not conservative, then you’re definitely anti-liberal. Oh, and LAST!
*Ahem* LASTER!
You mean come down on anything the right supports. I guess you missed the quip at Ann Coulter.
And even if what you said were 100% true, it still wouldn’t change how FiFi whines about others, while doing it himself.
(And please be sure to look back and see where I’ve spoken up about GWB’s spending habits, NCLB, capital punishment, and a few other such things.)
Fair enough. You’re still anti-anything the left supports. You might not support everything the conservatives do (and yes, I’ve heard you criticize Bush before), but you’re hardly bipartisan. And you have to jump in anytime Ivan or I say anything about conservatives. It’s hard to believe you’re not conservative when you make sure to jump on us for criticizing them.
It has NOTHING to do with you, or FiFi. And there are points on both sides that I’ve spoken up against. Things that I don’t thing are honest, or go along with the Constitution. Including smacking some on the right. I think you don’t notice it so much on the right, because it’s never YOU when it’s the right getting smacked. And *ahem* even when I smacked a overly zealous right winger, her came FiFi whining about me then.
And I’m not a perfect human being, nor have I professed to be. I’ve also never claimed to be “bipartisan.” Having things in common with both sides isn’t. There are independents who cover the entire spectrum. I seriously thought about the Libertarian party (mentioned that here before, too) and ran like a 4 year old with a candy bar when I learned more about them.
I’ve said time and again (remember the VNV discussions) that a lot of what Liberal’s want would be GOOD things on a state by state level, but that the tax code would need to be changed to make it work. (The Fed tax the states, not the individual, and make the Fed stick within a budget, no deficit spending) And of course, enforce Enumerated powers.
Some liberal ideals I think are legit, and legal, but I personally disagree with, and would fight like Hell against on the state level. I said it before, that abortion is killing of a human, and that makes it a crime against another, which is why I’m against it. But outside of interfering with the rights of another, I’m all for getting the govt out of people’s business. That includes marriage, drugs, ect…..
And for the record, the things I’ve called you on?
Fox News being more/less biased than the other networks. (Which in the end you admitted, or at least the MSNBC is lefty propaganda)
Jesus is a liberal. Which in the end, even you admitted he has attributes of both sides, but wasn’t politically involved.
To the best of my memory, that’s all I’ve ever said to you, without it being a joke. (durty librul card and such)
I will say this about you Radno, unlike FiFi, you aren’t a hypocrite. And generally a likable fellow, welcome to a beer at my place anytime.
A couple of questions JAC:-
1) Can you name a government which hasn’t run a deficit budget for several consecutive years at some point in the last 200 or so?
2) Ref the claim that abortion is murder, is it also murder to discontinue treatment of terminal patients, following brain death etc?
I don’t have the time to do more research this morning, however……
1). Every body is doing it doesn’t make it right. For how many years were all the nations imperialists, seeking whom they may conquer, or the fact that the pirates were originally hired by nations to attack other nations?
2) An adult can make that decision before they get into that state, then it’s none of our business.
Rando I don’t think your “Last” comment worked. Perhaps you should do with more authority…… you know, like a conservative…
JAC The prblem is if you’re anti-spending to help your fellow country mates you’re automatically anti-liberal in some people’s eyes. My wife who’s voted pretty much Democrat her entire life is now even fed up with her party. If the Republican party would get their head out of their a$$es and drop the Christian Right, and focus more on fiscal conservation (like we used to) and stop worrying about who sticks what human organ in another human body part, gay marriage, and the whole “moral superiority” thing, she’d vote for them.
Hmmm…you’re right. *gets out lots of guns and pre-emptively invades last spot* I’m looking for weapons of mass destruction, and LAST!!!111!111!!!!eleventy!!
You forgot the beer and ciagrettes…. my GOD!! no wonder you’re a liberal.
I’m voting now and stuck between an laternating fastfood and flanders… it’s worse than 95 South Bound on Friday before a holiday weekend at 4:30. (IE 3 hours to go 20 miles).
They fight like little children. It’s really pretty stupid. And of course, we get to watch the whole thing in the voting. No wonder nothing good ever makes the front page anymore.
JAC
1) I’m fairly sure most or all governements have run a deficit at some time. Just because you have to repay it eventually doesn’t make it always wrong; for example, if you can avoid a technical recession turning into a full-on Great Depression that I’m sure most people would arue it’s very much the right thing to do.
Oh and I think you were thinking of licenced privateers, not pirates, and they weren’t paid by the government who issued their Letter of Marque: Just allowed to keep the proceeds of robbing the other side’s mechant traffic in the war.
2) I’m sure you know perfectly well that there are cases of care being withdrawn on the instructions of next of kin, rather than the written instructions (living will) of the patient. In fact, I can’t prove it off-hand, but I strongly suspect there are cases in the USA where money was a factor in the next of kin’s decision.
Also, you’ve yet to prove that a non-viable foetus is actually a human being.
Paws:
1) I’m sure every country has run up a deficet before, but this country’s government is addicted to it. Just look at the new credit card laws; instead of putting the onus on those running up the debt, they put it on the Credit Card companies. So when China comes calling for re-payment, should we play China or the US Government?
2) Not getting into abortion, but can you pove that a “non-viable” fetus isn’t a human being?
1) People should be responsible for their own debt, that I agree with. My wife works for an installment loan company, and they are under fire in this state for “preying” on lower class communities, which is nonsense. Nobody is forcing those people to walk through the doors, and the terms of the loans are discussed in detail so there’s no surprises, no hidden fees, nothing out of the ordinary. If they did ANYTHING even remotely sleazy the state would shut them down, period. So if people can’t pay their loans back, it’s their fault for getting into that.
That being said, credit card companies don’t play fair. If it was straightforward, that’d be fine, but they pull all sorts of unethical tricks to sneak an extra buck from everyone and that’s why they have to be controlled.
2) I can. I’ve got photos to prove it.
No, that came out wrong, I meant I can prove that a non-viable fetus IS a human being. My bad.
1) Credit Card do pull some sneak $hit, but the “No more overage fees” part of the law is BS to me.
2) Definition of Human in Webster’s Dictionary “a bipedal primate mammal of the genus Homo: any living or extinct member of the family Hominidae”
How can one prove that a fetus isn’t a bipedal primate mammal of genus Homo?
Homo definition per Webster’s Dictionary “any of a genus (Homo) of hominids that includes modern humans (H. sapiens) and several extinct related species”
I know we’ve been though definition of viable, but Human is different.
Oh ok Rando, you and I agree….. HS.. you feel that, the earth stopped rotating, now Gravity doesn’t exist, I’ve been proven right!!!!
ILPB, did you read your 7:04 before posting?
14 months does not equal an addiction in economics terms. Yes, it may be a long time in politics, but economic boom/bust cycles tend to run over decades, so at least 2.5 terms, not 0.29 terms.
Can we keep personal debt out of it though? Unless you believe that the executive don’t realise that borrowings (as distinct from deficit; you can run in deficit without borrowing) have to be repaid eventually, the positions aren’t analogous.
On the abortion point, I do not believe in a “free right to termination whenever and whyever”, but I do believe that no man has a right to tell a woman that she must carry to term regardless, which is what the US conservative position amounts to.
Paws: I wasn’t just talking the last 14 months, I’m talking the last 40 years or so. As our government expands into social programs and people’s private lives and into larger scale wars, spending has gotten out of control (both Repubs and Dems).
As said not getting into full up abortion here, just irritates me on the “it’s not a human” arguement. Yes it is, just not one that can live outside the woman’s body.
However the woman’s body arguement always get’s me a bit confused, if you don’t want the governemtn telling you waht you can and can not do to your body, why would you allow it to tell you had to live a certain way with a certain amount of insurance? That and I object to a woman having the choice, but the man having no say in it, however he’s financially responsible pending the woman’s choice. If women want the CHOICE, they need to have all the responsibility.
@ Paws
Where do you think most of the pirates got their start? Privateering. That letter of Marque was official permission. And just because the majority of governments did it, doesn’t make it right. At one time, slavery was done by the majority of nations in this world. Including African nations.
And people disobeying the legal, written wishes on end of life doesn’t change abortion. And I would agree with you on that. Some people are just greedy murderers. But no matter what, that person had the chance to make a decision on end of life, where as a fetus doesn’t. If a person doesn’t, when they clearly have had a chance to, it’s their fault if the decision gets left up to next of kin. And that’s all the difference in the world.
And as for viability? All humans ARE viable. A fetus needs support, yes. So does a newborn. The feeding process is a little different, but both are still dependent. And if you want to argue that some fetuses don’t survive, neither do all newborns, or children, for all that matters. And that is something that doesn’t happen because of the decision of another human being, short of neglect. (which you CAN be charged with a crime, in such cases)
Jac, please stop tormenting poor Ivan. You know he’s been taught to see things in black and white, and all this talk of shades of grey is just confusing and upsetting the kid.
I’m 45. LOL
I hope you’re lying. The idea that you’re a grown man with the naivete and analytical sophistication of a sullen teenager, with a life so unfulfilling as to make trolling here a rewarding use of your time and energies, is horrifying.
Pot, kettle.
The idea that you’re a grown man with the angst and viciousness of a cyborg, with a life so unfulfilling as to make trolling here a rewarding use of your time and energies, is horrifying.
Playground mimicry, huh? Do you really think that’s wise?
What Stack did was because of his feelings about the government i.e. political. Bishop’s actions were not politically motivated. I do not understand the motivation of some Americans to politicize everything.
Nucky, not just Americans. BBC does it as well. It’s the human’s need to understand why something was done.
I don’t watch BBC news, so I’ll concede there. I honestly don’t see it here in Canada. Someone goes on a shooting rampage or whatever, it’s about that person, not their political leanings.
Maybe I should just stick to boobie flashing
We don’t really have that many shooting rampages though, so perhaps that’s the reason we don’t hear much about it. The only real massacre I can think of is the one at McGill university… and he’s been accused of targetting women (rightly so… because he directly said beforehand he wanted to kill women).
Well, we have had a few serial killers: Picton, that other guy……and, yeah…..um…someone else, I’m sure.
Oh yeah, I forgot about Picton. Well clearly he was associated with whatever political party likes pigs… and dislikes prostitutes.
Of course, if you were to say he was a “left-winger” or “right-winger”, immediately all canadians would be asking “what team did he play for?”.
That made me laugh out loud! You’ve made my crappy morning, Churj.
Woo! Do I get bonus points?
Um, would a drive by boobie-flash do?
That sounds better than points!
Don’t disparage the points! You can turn them in to various women here for things other than drive by boobie flashes….*nudge nudge wink wink*
“what team did he play for?”
Buahahahaha!!! ROFLMAO!! This is one of the reasons fekking I love you Canucks: it’s all about hockey, all the time.
Wait… there’s something other than hockey?
No, Churj, HOW is just kidding. There is nothing other than hockey. Don’t worry.
Sex?
But you could do that AND watch hockey.
OMG! It IS all about hockey!!11!!
Sex is just like hockey.
You do know where doggy style came from right? 2 canucks were feeling randy but the game was on… it meant both could watch the game.
From June to September, it’s all about sex – passing the time until hockey starts…..except at my house
I also believe that Canucks have puck shaped pe ni and net shaped va ginas. Condoms are little goalies.
Psst….ILPB, want to see for yourself?
Hey I used to be a commerical Sailor, I been all around the world, I seen it all….. and we have Canadians here you know.. eh? Plus you guys have some wacked out po rn.
i like it, i like it, but wouldn’t it make more sense to have puck shaped swimmers, and a hockey stick shaped penne noodle.
Wicket: I believe you are correct…
Churj/Nucky – That’s why the DVR is one of the greatest inventions ever in the eyes of this hockey fan. Especially during this year’s Olympics hockey semis & finals, what with the Mr coming back after a month in Syria.
There is most certainly more to life than hockey. There are also hockey video games. Sweet lord that Canadian Olympic hockey team is loaded. But right now I’m watching Sweden Vs. Belarus. The Olympics rule!
I was on the edge of my freakin’ seat last night. Who knew the Swiss were that good?
You know, the US solidly defeated the Swiss. Think about it. Oh, and the Sweden/Belarus game is on MSNBC, so the only time either teams’ right wingers are on camera is when they screw up. Otherwise, they always do closeups of the left wingers.
Well of course the US defeated the Swiss. The Swiss are notorious socialists, right?
Well, our communist leader tried everything to convince our team to tie the Swiss so the points would be spread evenly, but there’s a shootout, so someone has to win either way, so they were allowed to win this time.
Someone has to win so that means the Olympics are capitalist? I’m so confused.
No, no. We’ll let the Swiss win at the next Olympics. It all evens out.
@Nucky – We can still play, my lovely. “Not my hubby” (we’re not legally married) just might encourage it.
@ HOW: heehee, okay…..I’m good with that
I’m not sure we can let the Swiss win though….It’s hockey….we just couldn’t do that…..
Not like we’re going to let them win a medal.
Speaking of hockey…3 HUGE games on Sunday between three HUGE rivalries!! Woohoo! I’m planning on spending the entire day on my couch, only getting up to use the bathroom.
Oh my. Yes, Sunday will be an entertaining hockey day.
We have that new one, Russell Williams. Only two that we know of (yet), but definite earmarks as a serial. Plus, he was apparently buds with Paul Bernardo (another of our fine serial killers) while at University.
I think John Wayne Gacy’s mom was Candian…
We’ve yet to find the Zodiac killer, he coulda returned to Canada….. ummm ummm ummmm I think many of your Cereal Killers use bear attacks as cover… with milk.
I have a friend who is related to JWG. We went to NY together once and finally the suspense was killing me (his last name is Gacy) and I blurted out, “So are you related to John Wayne Gacy?”
He just laughed and said yes. They’re cousins.
ILPB: I’m not a cereal killer and you can’t prove anything!
…probably because I ate all the evidence….
Charro: Wow, I feel bad for that guy, that’s just gotta suck, being a close relative of a serial killer.
“Picton”?
Misspelling – it’s Pickton. The serial killer/pig farmer. He fed his prostitute victims to his pigs.
Oops: sorry, not all of them were protistutes, but I believe there were all thought to be transient.
Oh mai,
But I didn’t think y’all had politics up there, just Trees, mountains, hockey, beer, and Mounties…. and those pesky French Canadians…… Oh and GREAT land scape (need to get to Calgary sometime)
Yes, ILPB, you really need to come see my…I mean our Rocky Mountains
Can I stick my flag in them?
Only part of Canada I’ve been in is PEI. (Sister was a Anne of Green Cables freak so as a 12 yr old boy I was dragged there)
Maybe…..
I’ve actually never been further east than Winnipeg *shudder*. I want to take my son to all the National Parks, which includes one for Anne in PEI.
Take him to the wax museum if it’s still there… only thing I enjoyed, well that and the red dirt being shoved in my sister’s face.
Well, he’s 12……but he doesn’t have a sister. Maybe I’ll hire one so he can have the same wonderful experience you did.
Hey! I’ve never been further west (in Canada) than Winnipeg. What are the odds?
Nucky, when discussing parks — Yellowstone. It’s the ultimate in parks. Unforgettable. Incomparable. (Okay, there is a geyser field in Siberia that’s apparently comparable but it’s only accessible by helicopter, and the bears are twice as big.) My son wants to go back every year.
PS My cat is sleeping on your shirt. It’s okay. It’s black.
Mabs, I would love to take my son to Yellowstone, but I thought I should start with OUR parks first.
Tell the cat to keep the shirt warm for me.
I agree with your statement. But in reference to Stack and his political leanings…after reading his manifesto, it seems he’s more likely an independent voter; just as likely to vote for “less taxes, and smaller government” while at the same time he made a case for health reform, insurance, and banking regulation too. Regardless, the guy was a whacko and way off his rocker.
True. I don’t know whether he right or left only that I think his political leanings are more on point in the dicussions about him than say, Bishop’s.
He made obvious Liberal references, and obvious Conservative references in that manifesto; but the only thing I took away from it was his general disdain of anything government, lawyer, accountant, engineering, corporate, IRS, LA, Austin Texas…
the guy simply hated life and turned into a Full-Blown-Whackaloon! It doesn’t matter which way he leaned politically, because he leaned the full way towards dimento-ville…
Ah, so he was of the Whacko persuasion? I’m sorry, I am not overly up on why he did what he did (or his reasons). So, from now on we should be a W behind his name?
I think so. From what I gathered from his “manifesto” he wanted government health care and low (or no) taxes or something. *I will freely admit I skimmed it. I’ve had a busy week.
Hah, you’re a lawyer, don’t you mean your assistant has had a busy week?
*gets back to typing lawyer’s mumbles, coughs, and yawns*
Lol…well, I share an assistant with the partner that’s been keeping ME busy, so…yes, she has! (But since I draft all my own stuff and pretty much just use an assistant to get my letters mailed out, most of it’s not mine!)
I work for an older lawyer that only knows how to turn his computer on and search for his stocks.
I’m moving to two lawyers, a young’un like you and an older one. I don’t know how I’ll feel about only being used as a mail clerk. 
We still have some guys in the office who dictate stuff into a tape recorder! I can’t even BEGIN to imagine writing that way. I am actually probably going to have to delegate some organizational type stuff to her; I got into the habit of doing EVERYTHING myself first when (for a long time) I didn’t have an assistant assigned at all, then when I had one that was a total airhead, and finally when I had one who was so incredibly overworked that I always felt like an ass if I asked her to do one more thing!
Up until three years ago, my lawyer was using tapes too. We just went digital (and he’s still screwing it up LOL). I can relate. I’ve been a legal assistant for 10 years with the same lawyer, and I’ve seem some doozies for lawyers and assistants!
Had she left anti-tax suicide notes and gone in to an IRS building to shot people then it would have been relavent that she was a liberal activist.
and no you didn’t have to google blago to find out he was a democrat. the words “democratic governer” were a dead giveaway.
I really hope English is not your first language.
I don’t want to discourage you from posting here on PK, we can be a friendly bunch, but i hope you did read the whole thread before posting. We definitely covered all sides and view points along the way here to the bottom of this one, including different view points on whether Joseph Stack was a conservative or liberal activist, or neither. It’s a pretty decent discussion if you’re interested in reading it.
The Libs are very, very scared of Palin…….
Is anyone really scared of her as a person? They might fear what she represents: another step on the road to idiocracy.
I like money..
I like turtles.
I like big butts and I can not lie…
Win!
I like me.
I like beer. It makes me a jolly good fellow.
I like pies.
I like kitties.
I lick boobies.
Hey we definitely have something in common there…
I have boobies
As do I.
Yep, same here.
Somehow I thought you guys would pick up on that Freudian slip, even if it did mean a combo breaker!
I thought we were getting in line for boobie licking….. *walks away mumbling to herself about how men can’t keep promises*
Oh, is that what this queue is. Niiicceee.
HOW, did you just get in line because everyone else did? *shakes finger at HOW* tsk, tsk. That deserves an……extra boobie lick
I’m not sure where in Canada you are, but it’s been pretty cold the past few days in some areas… be careful your tongue doesn’t freeze to her boobies! Or maybe be careful that it does…
@churj: Aside from some snow at the beginning of the week, it’s beautiful out here in Calgary right now.
Nucky, I was raised in the USSR. It’s beyond my control; I must join a queue even if I don’t know what’s at the end of it. I mean, it could be toilet paper…errhhhmm…I mean…boobie lickings!!!
Southern Ontario hasn’t really gotten too much snow this year… only a few feet (and it’s mostly all melted). But a little north of where I am they had 6 feet in a storm about a week ago, and the temp has apparently been about -25C.
It’s good to do it in the park, it’s good to do it in the USSR!
[lick lick]
Nice
how many licks does it take to make nucky go…. hhhhhhmmmmmmmmm!?!?!?
Well, let’s find out…I do have two boobies……
OHHHH we’re talking boobies… I thought we were licking other things as well…. MY BAD… **walks off**
*has a sad* Wait, ILPB, come back….you can lick anything you want……
We should hang out.
Careful, Charro, he didn’t say he HAD money, just that he liked it. I’ve fallen for that trap before.
He was also quoting “Idiocracy”.. I just followed suit..
Oops…sorry
I’ve never seen it, but I’m told I should.
That’s ok honey. It is really good.. Kinda scary too.
Yeah, people keep telling me that, too.
I don’t know about you, but the idea of having someone that stupid just one McCain heart attack away from the presidency scared the daylights out of me.
Apparently “folksy” = thick and closed-minded.
apparently “closed-minded” means someone you don’t listen to.
No one cares what you think.
Well yeah, she shoots sh!t from helicopters.
Clinton shot other stuff under his desk…..
He kept a loaded pistol under there?
No, a gun.
I guess there’s some jobs he just didn’t trust the secret service to do
Bill knew that his Secret Service Agents all had poor gag-reflexes…
*laughs & gags a little*
So are some Conservatives… **raises hand** That beotch is CRAZEE!!!
Oh thank you, thank you, thank you. I KNEW I wasn’t being partisan in my disdain for the woman – the beotch IS crazee!!!
We’re not scared of Palin. We’re scared of that remote possibility of her supporters getting her elected, which would be pretty much a stake through the heart of this country…possibly the entire universe.
According to Fox News? Must be true then.
whine about fox news? Must be humor.
Whine about anything that’s not pro-conservative? Must be dhydar.
whine about not seeing pictures of ivan’s new gladiator costume? must be any of the women on PK.
We were promised!!!
Cite please! I never promised *whimper*
Promises were made on your behalf! *hee hee*
Pro-conservative isn’t enough for dhydar. If you said you thought Bush was a good president, he’d still call you a commie. Now, if you said you wanted to put all abortion doctors to death while putting all registered Democrats in Gitmo…he’d still call you a commie.
You’re a commie Rando.
I’m no hero. I do what I can.
You’re my hero.
And the wind beneath my wings.
I gotta lay off the Taco Bell.
Oh great. That’s too much pressure!
No no, you’re just my hero because you worked at Jack in the Box. No pressure.
WE DON`T NEED ANOTHER HERO
WE DON`T NEED TO KNOW THE WAY HOME
ALL WE WANT IS LIFE BEYOND
THUNDERDOME
What’s that place? You know the one where two men enter and only one man leafs?
Does the other one fruit?
Maple that’s his personal business, eh?
Avocado think about that for a while.
No, they just pear off.
Can’t we just get beyond thunderdome?
*gunfire*
Ugh, okay, made that joke one too many times…sorry. *dies*
More like:
The media
After Obama dropped his pants
“Obama’s last speech
According to the rest of the 24 hour ‘news’ networks.”
I can fling claims of bias at all the channels in that spectrum, come up with something NEW ffs.
Yep, people can claim all sorts of things. However, there is video proof of FOX using footage of much larger crowd for another event to illustrate a story about, I think, Palin’s booksigning (or one of the other silly things the ridiculous famewhore is doing to keep herself in the spotlight).
Or the program producer could have used some Palin stock footage and not told the anchor, who then erroneously thought it was from the actual signing.
So you’re saying that the people who work at Fox are idiots would couldn’t cobble together a simple news segment if their lives depended on it?
That’s a rhetorical question, Rattus? Cause the answer is a resounding “YES”.
Take out the entire “who work at Fox” and everything after the word would, and it is a “YES”!!!
I should have included a
in my comment.
Not mine… for the most part (except of the present company) people are idiots.
OMG!! You are such an elitist!!!11!!
You PROFESSOR!!!!!
*snicker* Very appropriate for this LOL. *claps*
WAIT! Is she a liberal professor? ‘Cos if she is, she’s gonna kill us all! Conservative professors are cool, though.
RAAAAAAAAAACIST!!!!!!!1
No, the people who work at Fox are human and make mistakes that are then retracted. ZOMG no one else has ever done that! Yeek!!
Click name.
Actually, when you pile together all the “mistakes” the good people at Fox make, it gives credence to my take that they are all idiots. Unless they’re deliberately lying. That couldn’t be it, could it?
Rattus: Don’t start the “only Fox makes mistakes”. Makes you look single minded and you can’t see the news through the lies on ALL markets.
You will note below that I did concede that Olberman is a lunatic. So is Michael Moore. And Barbara Streisand. There are others but the Red Bull isn’t doing a good enough job keeping me alert enough to remember at the moment. And that being said, I can’t quite understand how anyone with a modicum of intelligence can’t identify Fox news as a low-class tabloid in tele-form.
I don’t disrespect the right, I have conservative friends, I have a very good anarchist friend whom I think is as politically lunatic as you can get but is otherwise a lovely person, but Fox news has not once in my viewing shown me anything I can respect, and has in fact offered up some truly vile and offensive anti-homosexual “news” stories that would have made (sorry, going Godwin here) Hitler proud.
You’re mixing up the news portion of FoxNews and the pundit portion. The news portion that shows for most of the day is simply that, news.
I think the problem with “News” in general (and I’m not just being critical of FOX… there aren’t ANY good “News” networks, it seems) is that everything seems to be dumbed-down into 30-second MTV soundbytes and highlights… there is no good, UNBIASED, in-depth reporting out there anymore (IMO)
Take the IMO off of there, MG. That’s a FACT. Journalism is dead.
I second that. Where do we send the flowers?
@Wicket: I would totally do that, too.
Nesting fail…that’s a response to Wicket’s post below about trying to spot your car on the news.
I hate the news, it’s so depressing. Child dead, people dead, child raped, people raped, bombs going off, store robbed, mountain lion killed.. SO depressing.
Stop that! *turns off Charro’s TV and drags her home to watch next episode of Monty Python’s Flying Circus*
Does that work like Rock and Roll, as in if we play the news backwards, will it be good?
Well, that’s why I don’t watch it. I’m actually watching SVU.. But I’ve seen this episode. Hrmpth.
I actually don’t *watch* any news. I get all my news reading on the internet. I used to get a lot from the radio, while I was driving the route, but since I do very little driving, I don’t listen to the news radio much.
My wife was on the news last night for a second. I was all excited. I’d tell you guys about it, but there are stalker trolls about. *looks around suspiciously* In a nutshell, her employer, and businesses like her employer are under attack in this area by certain politicians. And there was a meeting about it and she was there and so was the news. That’s alls you needs to know.
Wait, the news is depressing, so you’re watching SVU?????
SVU is fake.
Also, Olivia is hot. Stabler too.
I’m not lying, and it’s pretty irrelevant, but i’m pretty sure i saw my car on a CNN wideshot driving down 183 in Austin, right in front of the IRS building’s wreckage. I drove by twice during an errand for work. So when i saw the national footage, i tried to spot my car.
Dude, my wife loves Stabler. @@ I’ve always loved the irony of Ice-T playing a cop on that show. I’m guessing Ice-T is quite the fan of irony.
It’s like watching Jaws backwards. That way, it’s a movie about a shark who throws up so many people they have to open a beach.
And then they’ll need a smaller boat.
I rather enjoy the irony of Ice-T as a cop as well.
And froo.. LOL. That’s pretty funny.
And Brody, Quint, and Hooper all sober up.
Please, give an example — I can’t wait to hear what you consider to be a vile and offensive anti-homosexual story.
There was a clear religious bent, and the presenter overtly stated that homosexuality was a choice, that people who make choices of such a nature weren’t owed the rights that normal (yes, he said normal) people were owed, and that we, the American people should be compassionate and help these people take the right path. And yes, this revolting piece of garbage was a segment in a news program, complete with the ever-so-wise head nodding of the anchors.
But wasn’t actually being reported on as a news story, or even by an anchor? That qualifies as the opinion of a pundit, not news reporting. There is a HUGE difference.
Sorry, but I’ll need a little more info than that to track it down.
Are you positive it was actually presented as a news statement? As established earlier, you might have already confused news and opinion segments.
It may have been, but it was plunked in the middle of a new program for some reason, and like hard printed tabloid newspapers, I’m not willing to trudge my way through piles of crap to find the nuggets of news that may be buried within (New York Post for you Americans, any one of the appalling Sun tabs for you Canadians – blechh).
When reading the Calgary Sun, go directly to the back of the sports section for the Sunshine girl and then flip a few pages either way for the hockey scores/comics.
Talking Head shows are just that: opinions of the speakers. They don’t reflect the views of the station or the news anchor any more than James Carville saying he wanted Bush to fail on the morning of 9/11 means that the show he was on feels the same way. Hannity has Whatsername Imus on all the time, and she throws out some WILDLY left wing spew that he nods and agrees with, because when you’re interviewing and asking an opinion of someone on your show, that’s the polite thing to do.
Talking heads and pundits are not journalists.
Which is more than can be said about the psychopath O’Reilly.
Are you saying he IS a journalist? *has a confused at Rando’s wording*
Talking Head shows should all involve David Byrne.
No, sorry, I meant that O’Reilly doesn’t always give his guests the same courtesy that Hannity might. (Even though Hannity is a whiney ass…never mind.)
Or Max Headroom.
Ok, “The Talking Head Show With David and Max”? I wouldn’t just watch that, I would record it.
On VHS?! WOW!
if this works, you get a treat for clicking my name. if not, sorry
LMAO, thanks Wicket’s Ebil Twin.
You’ll have to include every news station in that blanket statement for it to be true, Rattus. The mistakes are publicized to the point of nausea when Fox makes them because people like the producers at MSNBC can’t stand the fact that Fox blows them out of the water every single night on ratings.
I’ve made this point before, and I’ll make it again. It’s not fair to talk about how great Fox News ratings are compared to MSNBC. As righties very often like to point out, the only real hardcore right leaning network is Fox. So most of the righties are gonna watch Fox. Now, the left leaning (depending on who you talk to) include MSNBC, CNN, and the networks. That splits your liberal viewing quite a bit.
The other night my wife called me into the hallway while I was flipping channels, and I stopped on MSNBC. I think I accidentally doubled Olberman’s ratings while I helped her with a chore. /
If I’m gonna watch cable news, I’m gonna watch MSNBC. That way the news at least favors my side.
Yay, liberal bias!
I have one of those wall mounts for my tv, and when I came back, it was broken and my tv was leaning left. /
Check the front door, you might have a red swastika painted on it now.
No, Hillary’s not been to visit in my home.
Have you compared their error rate to the other news networks? (All of which are pretty hilariously bad for breaking news, if you’re looking closely.) Otherwise, your “take” is really just confirmation bias.
Sorry – clicked after replying (one of those human error things). Olberman is a lunatic, I’ll give you that.
I can’t believe that I actually just used him as an example of “news”…I’m sorry.
If it helps, I actually saw a news anchor on MSNBC (not a pundit, an ANCHOR) roll his eyes at a story about a Conservative…now THAT’S unbiased reporting right there.
Now froo… you know I’m just one of those “Damn Dirty Libruls”… but even I don’t count Olbermann and Maddow as “News”!!!!
Sorry, it was a knee jerk reaction to people slamming the wrong part of Fox
I’m keeping the Olbermann link ready for the next argument about Rush Limbaugh
I did find that link funny though.
Olbermann has gone a bit off his nut!!! I think the obsession with Beck has gotten him to gravitate towards goofy!!
Did you see where he was trumpeting his degree from Cornell because Coulter made a slam on him? If I’m not mistaken, her degree is in law, and his is in Ag Science. Now, I’m no knocking ag science because of my own degree, but trying to compare the two is pretty funny. He was PISSED!!!
Although he had a good shot on Coulter last night; “Hey, if that guy wants to live life as a woman, I’m going to support him 100%”… almost made me spew milk onto the TV!
That was FUNNY!!! They quoted him on Red Eye to Ann Coulter, and she was speechless!
“she was speechless”
Dear god!! There IS a first time for everything!!!
That’s what was funny about it to me, LOL. The look on her face was priceless, because she’s never at a loss for words!
I still think if they were locked in a steel cage together in a Liberal-Conservative-barbarian-strap-match my money might be on her!!
I’m with MG. Coulter is more manly than Olbermann anyway. And if that’s the first time Coulter has heard about people comparing her to a man, then she must live a sheltered life for a lunatic pundit.
You know, Olbermann has not always been this bad. He really has gone off the deep end since the election. I think he took Obama’s election as some type of victory for HIM too. I still find him entertaining sometimes, but his show is less about being a pundit these days and more about ripping into other pundits, which gets kind of repetitive.
I remember people say nearly the exact same thing about Limbaugh, just a few years ago………………….
i was watching some CPAC coverage, and they had floor mats with Olberman and Chris Mathews on them with a quote, “Stomp out the Liberal Media”. I can see how they’d hate Olberman as he’s kind of the left’s attack dog, similar to Rush, Beck, Hannity of the right. But i don’t see why they’d aim the hatred towards Mathews, he seems like a nice guy and will openly admit when he thinks a conservative policy is a better one than a liberal policy.
Do they realize that Olbermann FEEDS on that? He probably has one of those mats in his home. The more the right hates him, the better he’s doing his job.
{http://www.olbermannwatch.com/archives/2010/02/olbermann_devas.php}
Wicket, this link is just for you! Be sure to watch it through to the end, it’s hilarious!
Wow, the conservatives are really scared of Olbermann. *snicker* What, that anti-EWAdams troll started it!
clearly, there is a job free and they want work
Agree with the sentiment, but can’t find the “funny” Or even the “clever”. Big yawn.
I actually went to one of her book signings to protest her and I couldn’t believe the amount of people who showed up.
Oh, yeah, I see you in that picture now. You’re wearing red, near the bottom, right?
Can’t be true… they’re not all overweight white people.
ha ha!
Don’t mind my lurking.
O.o! You still exist? I was beginning to think you’d moved to Saturn or something! How’ve you been?
