Neocons don't screw in their own lightbulbs, frank67

They subcontract that kind of thing out to Haliburton, who wildly overcharges the taxpayers to screw in a lightbulb.

We Actually Walked Out

Mrs. Grumpus decided that we were going to this stinker last night. So incredibly lame that we actually walked out. Something that I've never done before. How do I get my $22.00 back?

Original article: Whisky business

Maybe You Can't Tell The Difference

But I sure can, and so can alot of other people - which is why Indian whisky should come up with another name, since it really isn't whisky in the first place. The EU is 100% right on this one. I'm not saying that Indian "whisky" shouldn't be exported, only that it shouldn't be exported as whisky.

The Problem Is That You Are A Pussy, LW

Face it, LW, the world is made up of two kinds of people: those who fart in other peoples faces with impunity, and those whose faces get farted in.

Frankly, nothing delights me more than surrepetitiously farting in the faces of nervous nellies who are too polite to say anything.

Seriously, that gives me a boner. Hey, maybe that was ME who farted on you. Loser!

Hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha!

Original article: War, chaos and Bush's faith

Don't Just Blame Bush - Blame All His Enablers

Every last idiotic Republican and their fellow-travellers who voted for and supported this idiot and his incompetent administration is responsible for this mess. Every single one of them is a war criminal and should live in shame and disgrace for the rest of their lives. Anyone who voted for Bush should be stripped of their right to vote for life and made to pay special war reparations taxes to fund their President's stupid war. Bush and his entire administration should go to jail for the rest of their miserable lives and thier assets should be siezed by the State to pay for thier failed war. This is America - we reward winners and punish losers. Let's remind the Republicans that there are consequences to their massive failure.

Original article: Disaster belief

My Dad Can Beat Up Garrison's Dad

Here's the thing - my Dad was an honest-to-God Depression kid, WWII Vet, GI Bill-educated, Gray-Flannel-Suited member of the greatest generation who gave up his dream of being a civil engineer to work for 30+ years at the same (blue chip) company in order to raise his six kids. And you know what? He hated every single day of it. He told us so on his deathbed (which was about three years before he was scheduled to retire).

You know what else he told us? Not to give up our dreams or our creativity just to make a living. He told us that was his biggest regret in life.

But please, Mr. NPR creative type, do lecture the rest of us on the virtues of miserable drudgework. We could use the fucking laugh, you cranky old gasbag!

Original article: Newt goes off message

The Next Generation of Chickenhawk creeps?

How come none of those stupid little Republican fucks is in Iraq right now?

In the future, let's remember that every single able-bodied Republican of this generation who didn't turn out to fight thier own war was a coward and a fraud.

These rotten weasels have no political future in America.

I'm So Not Impressed By Obama

Obama is alll talk and no action. I'm so tired of his "let's unite everybody and move forward BS."

That's complete crap. I don't want somebody whose gonna sweep the Republicans' crimes under the rug in the name of "unity." These people are CRIMINALS. They need to be PUNISHED and their crimes need to exposed, not glossed over. This country will never move forward if Bush's crimes are not accounted for. All of Obama's concillatory talk just makes me sick. Doesn't he have a fighting bone in his body? Doesn't he have any core principles that he's willing to stand up for? If he can't man up and stand up to the GOP, then how will he ever stand up to Putin or Kim Jong Il or Iran? This guy is an empty suit. Charisma is NOT leadership. Thank God that Hillary has a bigger dick than he does.

The Proof Is In The Viewing

I'm a native North Jerseyan raised on "fuckin' Ziti" but I have to say that there are who seasons and story arcs of the Sopranos that I skipped because I simply lost interest. Too much meandering, too much eliptical storytelling.

The Wire, on the other hand, is absolutely riveting and I have literally skipped dinners with friends to watch season premieres and other key episodes.

I gotta give it to The Wire - there is nothing better or smarter on TV. And no other show, including The Sopranos has been as smart, informed and honest about race in America. Ever.

For Shame You Harlot!

I think the best solution would be to show up wearing a big Scarlet Letter "A" pinned to your coat. If they don't get it, then emroll them in an American Lit class at their local community college. And then tell them to shut the fuck up and let you live your life already.

You Rule Sidney!

Nobody but nobody can eviscerate the Bush regime like you do! I love how you lay it all out in this one: Bush looks in the mirror and sees Prince Hal, while the rest of us look at him and see Caligula!

You're allowed to keep a few secrets

You really think you need 12 and 13 year olds about your coke use? Wait a bit until they can process it. You're allowed to keep a few secrets from your kids until they're old enough to handle it. You need to get a grip with the oversharing and remember that it's not all about you - most preteens have more pressing issues than dealing with their parents' mistakes and guilty consciences. Sack up and keep it to yourself.
