20 years ago when I was a 20ish punk rocker

We called these herd of upper middle class, white and way too uptight, assholes, by one word - YUPPIES. The kind of status sucker shoppers who shop for shit at Whole foods and pay double the price for a plate of hummus, that has the taste, color, and consistency, of a plate of peanut butter. I grew up in an upper middle class neighborhood in Houston Texas, where this familiar form of fucking white person, swarmed all over an neighborhood shopping district known as the Village, and turned it into a giant brand name shopping mall. The old mom and pop shops had to pack up and leave, because evrything so suddenly became about a new affluent consciousness of "me! me! me! me!" I didn't even know that the Prius (I've never even known or noticed to this day what one looks like) was the chosen car of the white culture elite. Back in the day it was Volvos, and we white outsider punkers were vandalizing them, Beemers, and Mercedes, whenever we were caught up in the angst of a particularly idle weekend. All I can now say in my 40's, is that I still don't like this fleecy flock of fucking white sheep any more than I did in the 80's, and everytime I eye some idiot walking around his ear phones umbilically attached to an iPod, or absorbed in his iBook, I usually take an oppurtunity to shoot this insularly, self-involved shithead a look of such vicious intent, that they promptly put away their proud toys, or else fuck off somewhere out of my line of public sight. Maybe what these sorts need is a lot less self deprecation, and a lot more introspection and insight, into why they are all such carbon copy cunts.

I like Sebelius

Compared to that crook Clinton she's relativly clean. I could support Sebelius.

It would be a diservice to the American people to put a liar like Hillary Clinton in the VP seat

That Bosnia business only proved how naked Hillary's lies really are, and we don't need another big fat VP liar like Cheney sitting around telling selective truths to the people of America. Clnton tells lies with such ease that there is no way she should even be considered, and I have no doubt that she is not even under the slightest consideration for the office of vice prisident. Which is only as it should be. We can't can't afford to live with any more lies just to please a litter of pathetic PUMAS.

He's the one who'll feel their pain!

I want ya'll to know that I'm a PROUD sell-out democrat!

I'm a stubborn single minded supporter of such vital political associations as MILFs for the American way and PUTA!

Hear my Meow! Hillary now!

Get the hook on Hillary.

Last of the Bohicans

Why don't you run that tired "thrown under the bus" cliche by me one more time.

Monday, July 7, 2008 06:25 PM

Bohica

I shall leave to dull tool such as you, one so confidently bold, to constantly recycle an expression so flacidly old.

Yeah there are all sorts of scum out there Tom

You mentioned the Disingenuous Dweeb and No Brainiac but neglected to mention another league of liars. That disgustingly disgruntled litter of hair balled hangers on for Hillary - the lying legions of PUTA. Why do they call themselves PUTA you're probably asking? Because they sold out their deeply held virtues as democrats, simply in order to service their own self held, insipid sense of spite.

Bob

Believe me there's lots of parsing going on. Smith is a proffesional parser of Obama's words. She is by far the official obfiscator of anything uttered by Obama. The woman's mind is as closed and clamped down shut as a sleeping clam at the bottom of the ocean.

To the poster who positted that Bill Clinton was probably one our of most literary presidents

I agree. His book "The Pleasures of Pork Rinds" is probably one of my favorite reads of the past few years, not to be out done of course by "My Big Mac and Me or How I Got My Heart Condition."

Hillary who?

Original article: Barack by the books

I have heard on a good authority

That Obama believes the world is flat and that the moon is made of cheese, and that lunar craters on the moon's surface are the results of large lunar mice eating away at the moon's topography. Like I said I got this from a reliable source.

Behold the Might of PUTA's Spite!

Thank you jonathanseer. Hear the sqeaky meow of "Hillary now!"

You're quite right, Hillary has a solid history - a solid of being the loser. As much as it might scald or burn, losers must always simply wait their turn

You're the reigning queen of a very small hive, as your former candidate's pulse registers - "no longer alive."

May I say this from the start

I cannot for the life of me tell those pigs and Traister distinctly apart.

I just sigh a sigh of relief, that Hillary's chance to "obliterate Iran" cannot in any way widen our already profound sense, of war time grief.

The only big block that's evident here is the stubborn case of constipation that's blocking up progress from your still smarting rear.

Which one's the pig and which one's Traister?

I thought you'd like to talk about Hillary. My mistake.

Your comments about Clinton as a "true feminist" are dead on.
