Michelangelo hated, HATED painting

But it paid the bills so that he could sculpt.

Just feminize your husbands

All the married women I know want to.

don't they own Stella Artois?

which is also a less than wonderful brew and just as common.

What difference does it make anyway

The antiwar 'movement' was never more than bloggers and Salon-o-tards furiously typing about how much they hate the 3 or 4% of people here who don't agree, religiously, with them. And St. Lord Fidel Christ Allah Obama has already (and always) said we'd be in Iraq for years more and, if you decode it, in Afghanistan for approximately forever.

So go march around with your giant puppets and funny signs with the occasional obscenity. Go wrap yourselves in Hezbollah flags and radical face covering do rags. Go toss a brick through a Starbucks window. Go be the middle aged Lesbians for Animal Rights, Tofu, Solar Power and 10 other things in random order.

C'mon Salon readers

If it was in Slovenian and took place in 1950 replete with unwed mothers, you'd flock to it faster than a busload of Biblethumpers to a Mel Gibson lordporn snuff movie.

Monkey Pants

Thank you for taking time out of your busy day of being a tool to address me personally. I feel so honored. Do I get a tiara?

Beer gets almost as many posts as Glenn Greenwald or TV

Good jorb.

Texas also has the highest total consumption of electricty

According to this

Texas is #1 in electricity use by a very wide margin.

I rather like movies

Where all the characters, all of them, are weak, evil or insane. One of my favorites is "Monster". Embrace your inner sociopath.

Your fifth place showing in the Special Olympics was awesome.

The US will open a low level embassy-like delegation in Iran soon

http://www.reuters.com/article/topNews/idUSL1611455720080717?feedType=RSS&feedName=topNews&sp=true

You radicals must be furious, having promised war with Iran for the last 1573 days straight. It's like I always say; if Salon guarantees it, do the other thing.

I am not a crazy chick

I just play one in Saving Silverman. My opinions are important for you to hear. That is all, non movie persons, return to your workbenches.

No one forces them to live there.

When I lived on Long Island THE MOST expensive utility in the United States, ever. The ONLY utility to spend billions of dollars building an atomic power plant that they completed and NEVER put on line for even one day, the fact, the reality of paying nearly a thousand dollars a month in utility costs, was, by itself, enough of a reason to move. If the fine upstanding folk of Texas find their electricity too expensive then they are, as always, free to explore other opportunities.

It always goes unnoticed that the Federation is essentially a military confederacy and the difference between the army and the government appears to be paper thin.

And I for one can't wait for

"Outlander": Jim Jesus Caviezel, a spaceman, crash lands on Norway, 785AD to partner with the Vikings to battle the space dragons. I hope it's a comedy but if it's not, that will be even funnier.

$50?

My bills went up 16% in May, another 16% is in the pipeline for October. That's before the 2x increase expected in Nat Gas this winter.

You people haven't seen nuthin yet. Americans will go hungry in the freezing cold this winter. It should be fascinating.

Disney has a checklist

They're working their way down to the line you personally most approve of. Since this is Salon/BS I bet you've got a hankering for a Blaxican Bi-curious Princess. Which is fine, you're just going to have to wait your turn.

Dear me you are full of it.

Do they still imprison thousands of gays, writers, teachers and opponents?

I mean in that magical marxist paradise, Cuba? Because if they do we could at least pretend to pressure them to let them out.

Original article: Hang up and drive

Well if you want to stand up for the principles you're so outraged by

Then you should happily go to jail after assaulting, physically assaulting people who use a phone. Would any animal rights fanatic stand by and watch a pet tortured? No of course not. Be a Gandhi, lay on the railroad tracks if that's how you feel about it. So the next time you see someone driving while talking on the phone, follow them home and beat them up. Wait for the cops to show up, get arrested and go to jail. Make a statement, start a cause. And why limit yourself to cars. I see there's many other instances that anger people here, pretty much encompassing the entire public sphere. So when you're at the movies, punch that called in the mouth. Slap that teenage girl at the mall. Swing a haymaker at that guy in the bowling alley with the bluetooth. That's what principles are for, aren't they?

It's not gray

It's the divine glint of heaven reflecting off his head. A glowing cloud within which God dwells. Everyone knows that.

I heard that one of the best atheletes in the Paralympics games was refused a slot

In the US one of the best table tennis players in the world is a 69 year old man. He is ranked world wide #15. The national committee just refused to permit him to play because

And I quote

He's too old and we're trying to promote the sport to younger athletes.
