"...as long as the war on drugs remains a war on the urban poor."

Ain' my fawt. I'm a victim!

"New Jersey's urban and crime policies are designed to keep Newark an enclave of despair, violence and race-based underachievement."

Ain' my fawt. I'm a victim!

"Drugs remain about the only game in town for an urban poor denied entree to the legit life."

Ain' my fawt. I'm a victim!

"What do we expect as a society, when we fail to educate and embrace "the usual suspects" and send them out into this brutal economy with no way to make an honest living?"

Ain' my fawt. I'm a victim!

"It also refuses to fund more than token levels of drug treatment or sentencing alternatives for the nonviolent, with predictable results."

Ain' my fawt. I'm a victim!

"Given the underperforming schools..."

Ain' my fawt. I'm a victim!

All this nonsense about being imprisoned is the most pathetic "poor me, victim" drivel I have ever heard. If they want out, forego buying the next pair of sneakers, buy a bus ticket instead, do what I did and get out.

They stay because they want to. It is the life they prefer. You bleeding hearts. How silly you are. Send them your money if you wish (while they laugh in your face). Don't force me to send them mine.

In your book everyone who isn't a victim, or a victim sympathizer is a racist. Boo, hoo. I'm not a racist you're a racist.

Here's a cool idea for a strip: "The hyper-effectiveness of the democrat's first one hundred days in power". That would be a good one. Yeah. It could go something like "In a parallel universe, the democrats appear to be going forward, while in this one they are standing utterly still (or in some cases going backward). Or how about "In a parallel universe, Salon.com exposes how the democrats duped their supporters, while in this universe it appears to be saying nothing at all."

Excuse me, your bias is showing. Find anything I have posted on these forums that demonstrates my support for any politician, republic or democrat, or George Bush in particular. Anything. You won't find it. What I find disturbing is how many silly Americans think "democrats, goooood. Republicans, baaaaad" (or vice versa), when they all suffer from the same terminal, mind eating disease: politician. The real shame is that Salon has refused to comment on how exceptionally disappointing the democrats have been and how they have truly duped their supporters. Salon's motto "We give the dems a pass!" Now that's service!

Check your arrogance. Also check my other posts in this forum. I do not give neither (that;s a good one Isnt' it) democrats nor republicans the benefit of being properized in any form, shape, or way. Also note the unwritten rule of not correcting anything but the most egregious misuse of grammer (she's in the kitchen baking biscuits), spelling (vice Spelling, which would denote a producer of television programs), or punctillation (or punctuation) in on-line blogs or reader forums. That is a practice of polite society. In other words, keep your snot in your own nose.

Boy, oh boy how easily phrases like "ball buster" roll off Traister's pen! Can you image if Charlie Gibson was described as a "good ole buster of the female genitalia"? This is outrageous!

And then this (what is the word for "so obvious it makes you want to puke"?) little feministic understatement of the year: "though a throwaway anecdote about Couric playfully slapping a news writer has tabloids everywhere blaring "Katie slaps colleague!" When actually what was reported was "things were tense" and Couric's own admission "I sort of slapped him around”. Sort of slapped him around? Slapped him around?

Lets see how this reads "Oh come on, it's no big deal" said Bill O'Reilly, "I just sort of slapped her around." Can you imagine the calls for crucifixion that would blare from the feminista camp had a man said that instead of little darling Katie?

Ms. Traister, you should be calling for Couric's resignation. Not only is she a lousy newscaster, with beady little eyes and lips thin enough to cut fishing line, but she can barely conceal her contempt for her audience. Add to that the revelation that she strikes her male colleagues (and most likely female ones too), and it becomes clear that she is simply out of her league, and an embarrassment to women everywhere.

No apologies? There should be a lawsuit. Let the double standards roll on.

Wee ner

It had to be me,

I wandered around,

knowing full well

who I have to please.

I make me be true,

I make me be blue,

And even be glad just to be sad - Thinking of me.

None other I've seen,

Would make me a queen.

They might be cross,

or try to be boss,

and that wouldn't do.

Nobody else gives me a thrill,

with all my faults, I love me still

It had to be me,

wonderful me,

It had to be meeeeeeeeeee.

Be horny (bum bum - bum bum - bum bum)

Oh, never mind.
