So....

The price of gasoline has gone up and that fact suddenly hit urban hipsters in the face because in San Fran, like most larg-ish cities, they have mass transit so far a large percentage of those people, car driving is more of a leisurely activity and not a necessity.

Ok, tomorrow we will be covering the wetness of water.

The British were in Iraq for 37 years

It did little good. Some people are just ungovernable w/o force.

Why is this hack, yes hack, so revered?

Oh wait, Anna Nicole Smith was a national icon.

You are just quibbling about numbers

Maybe it's 3 or 10 or 40 or more. But if you imagine that biofuels are free non polluting don't harm brown people and unicorns then you are huffing paint again.

BTW Rads, Income distribution in oil free Brazil is even MORE uneven than in the US. In Brazil there are a few obscenely weathly, a tottering middle class trying to hang on, and a huge underclass.

To be corrected or destroyed.

Why is it

95% of all people who wear a blue tooth ear bud are middle aged overweight black guys? We get it Bro you can afford it.

No Jews, No Women, No Caucasians

We're Salon. We're so liberal we can't even stand ourselves.

He is the prime reason that

NC is home to so many military bases. Sitting on the foreign relations committee he pushed through a large number of spending bills that created or enlarged the military bases, mostly in the eastern part of the state. Ft. Bragg, Camp Lejeune, Pope AFB, Seymour Johnson AFB, Cherry Point NAS, MCAS New River and the ever mysterious Harvey Point.

You can't really make fun of liberals

They're too insufferably stupid to get the sarcasm. And you can't do a better job than the White Boy Dreds do to themselves.

Yeah But Elvis Mitchell picked 1 dead guy and 3 hacks

Original article: YouTube is not private

But the really ironic piece is that

Google makes it IMPOSSIBLE to recover the password to your OWN blogger site under some circumstances. They go far as to say they don't believe your request, claim you are lying to them and they refuse to help.

All this in the name of protecting your privacy. That's just fucking awesome. In a scream in hell gargling molten steel kind of a way.

Well that's upside to fatass America, isn't it?

We're awash in used fry oil. So after it clogs our hearts and kills us we can pour it in our gas tanks. So we can toodle down the road to get some more killer grease to eat. And so on.

Maybe we should cut out the middle man and fuel our cars with the obese directly.

Your lack of any recognizable sense of humor underlines the very point I was making.

Saturday, July 5, 2008 02:35 PM

IS it arch?

That Salon quickly closed the hatefest about Jesse Helms and yet routinely lets go any number of hate filled rants about women, blacks and Jews here?

Very arch.

Oh I see, an insulting namecalling asshole such as yourself maintains that anyone who's not a namecalling asshole must therefore be a troglodyte. Thanks for clearing that up for me. Oh wait, this is Salon, I knew that already. Carry on.

Saturday, July 5, 2008 03:06 PM

Like I said

GG must have one helluva horse/child/appliance/hentai/gay/scat porn collection online to get this outraged about this single issue. He's almost as upset about FISA as he is about the Diabolical Jewspiracy to Control America (DJtCA) (tm).

But this is Salon

Ownership itself, of anything, is evil bourgeoisie capitalist globalism consumerism that kills the planet.

Don't namecall and insult people and then get outraged, like a little spoiled 3 year old, when someone turns it around on you. Thin skin? It took one post for me to get you to melt down in rage like someone took your chocolate bar from you. Now run along sonny, big people are talking.

Didn't like it. I'll stick to being a mongrel bastard.

When you crash through the bottom, stop digging

I really can't think of anything more a useless waste of oxygen than the shows you review. Except your reviews of them. It's like watching a Warhol film without irony and commenting on the cinematography of filming the Empire State Building for 24 straight hours. It's like watching fierce beetles in a jar kill each other.

when you grow your own food and perform your own surgery let me know

all this neo self sufficiency smacks of Mao's great leap forward.

When did TLC turn into The Chick Network XII?

I was watching TLC and now all they run is shows about kitchen remodelling, wedding dress marathons and nuts who hire choreographers for their own first dance at their own wedding. Aren't there enough Chick Networks already?

Making fun of making fun of people who don't like TV is one thing

But this literally is the bottom of the barrel. If there was a show called "America's Got Herpes!" Heather would review it.

It's Sunism

You Sunists who live where the sun routinely shines. Arrogant bastards. Try living in Albany NY with your solar hippie rollerskates.

The Miserablists have won

Clearly it will take 1 million times the total economic output of the entire earth to solve the greenhouse gas problem lest we and everything goes extinct on Nov 17, 2053, 2:47pm eastern standard time. Given that, I suggest we all kill ourselves. Please report to your allotted suicide chambers immediately, and have a nice day, citizen.

The Miserablists have won and I have something better than inner peace. It's the death of hope.

Monday, July 7, 2008 06:48 AM

Might as well

Elsewhere on Salon today we learned you will be the last generation ever before everything on the planet goes extinct. So I say have some fun. As long as it's good miserable liberal fun.
