However she was quite a bit smarter than Palin.
I usually just call up motorcycle crash videos on YouTube.

Jimi appears down with it, but what about Readerreader? He acts all friendly, but I think you know that inside he's truly evil.

is ready to join the Pundit Tree!
yes, pound them to paste. Why don't we just nuke them?
Why don't we just nuke everybody we don't like? There really is no downside...
Nuke them all. It's just a big cowboy movie anyway.
but I think someone needs to take a chainsaw to the pundit tree.
you've stopped in for a comment or two...but nothing has changed here.
here come the scary things
you should probably go back on your meds!
he's off with his seal friends...doing manly stuff.
indeed...for we must destroy the global village, in order to save it.
did you guys go to the same prep school?
and I think I know what you're saying.

they should come here instead, because all the words are so sweet!

What is your "thesis", exactly?
Judging from his FB page, he seems to be some sort of terrorist.
maybe take him to KFC or something.

so I'm not sure how women could "take it back".
Lying inert on your back doesn't make you a good lover, either.
that's really the problem, isn't it.
"Women want to reclaim the road trip"
"Blacks want to reclaim the country club"
"White males want to reclaim the sewing bee"
etc
statute of limitations doesn't apply
Most of human history was spent grubbing around on the ground wearing skins...if our past defines our future then there really is no hope for progress at all.
A "road trip" is something specific...I think perhaps these women were redefining it, rather than reclaiming it.
The french fry example isn't quite right, because the fries stay the same whatever you call them.
But the women changed the road trip. They changed it into a propaganda mission. This is why I'm saying they didn't "take it back".
Who appointed you "truth teller"?
I don't really want to see a movie about a magic box.
Afghanistan is probably not chock full of potential brides for Army majors.
People are looking at this as political...I say it was sexual.
He counseled people and prescribed medication...the problem with going to Afghanistan was that it would be harder to date.
but of course the example is overused and so has become ridiculous eg Hitler as soccer coach.
Nazis are the gold standard in evil for the 20th century.
Perhaps evil brain-eating aliens are worse.
When these aliens finally land, we can say with confidence: "you are the worst"!
Today at the store I ran into a woman who wanted to know about my motorcycle. She is also a motorcyclist...
During the very pleasant conversation, nobody mentioned Nazis.
It was amazing!
nazi-free!

Maybe the same percentage as the population overall?
33% of women strongly oppose more restrictions on abortion, vs 26% of men.

Every musician now is not only competing with his or her peers, but with every musician from the past.
these people sound mentally ill.
Now that I'm older I realize that we are not unlucky at all, but rather possess serious personality flaws that make successful dating unlikely.

You are Number Six.

you probably won't get any more tickets.
it sparkles like the wit of those wonderful souls who post here.
bravo
When you lower your standards to the point where you get a date, you're where you should have been to start with.
The failure to recognize this is a "serious personality flaw".
He has found the perfect fingenails on the chalkboard tone, which he repeats over and over until people eventually go insane.
Then he acts all hurt, like he's just misunderstood.
Quite the evil person.
(Do you have a Special Friend?)
Of course not...I have standards, after all.
no I don't think so
I think presidential pardons are part of the Constitution...that thing everyone around here is so keen on.
