@morefunky: cold shower time, babe

The reason we're in the state we're in is because of insane war mongers and sexually-fearful people like you.

I lived through the sixties too. There was little group sex and much less drug use than hysterics like you claim.

What there was were whole cohorts of people seeking new ways, better ways of living. Like in all experiments, some were dead ends and some were revolutionary.

Then, fearful, xenophobic people like you did everything you could do to crush everything good that came out of it.

And look where it got you. You are disrespected and have earned the contempt of your own countrymen and women. You are the laughingstock of your international neighbors. You are unfit for duty, civic or military.

It's a shame, really.

I hope he's bringing a supply of Teenage Depends

He's a small-town hockey puck who's yet to meet the Big Time, might get a little..excited.

Where I live, Caribou is a chain of coffee shops

And a shot is something a barista gives you.

Me, I like a double shot. Am I missing something here?

Levi's brothers are named Diesel, Lucky 7 and...Members Only

The latter they've nicknamed "Moe".

The Dixie Chicks have a clever tune entitled "White Trash Wedding"

And, yes, it is as just as funny and as appropriate as you might imagine.

@ oneguy: Dude, I'm not a member of the Democratic Party

The Democratic Party better be careful not to drive me away!

I hear from where you're coming but I'm voting for Barry Hussein no matter what "they" say!

Now:

How many small-town Alaskan hockey players does it take to screw in a light bulb?

RIFF!

@ Xanthro: Yeah and if the timeline's correct he knocked her up when she was still 15

Take that to Wasilla Family Court!

@ pattonsticksittoem: Well, I guess someone was eventually gonna go there...

BUT THAT'S JUST ICKY!

@Benny74: Cut the crap, man, we've got her number and its: Zero

You, however, seem to be hovering in the negative numbers.

Love ya, have a nice day.

P.S. Hey the Republican Pow-Wow is on the tube! Why aren't you watching your peeps?

Slacker!

@dpb1954: This, my friend, is called feeding the fire

As in: tell it to someone who cares.

Believe me, pal, Sean Hannity, Jim Lehrer or Keith Olbermann will not, repeat, NOT, be zeroing in to point out the pissy comments I'm making on this forum.

What we are doing here is called "motivating the base" (hey kinda of like what they're doing by raking poor Sarah Palin over the coals!).

But hey, I gotta go! Norm Coleman's speaking at the Repub Convention and I haven't had a good laugh since earlier in this thread.

Ciao, amigo.

@ AKA Smith: YOU GO! SWIPE 'IM! HIT 'EM HARD!

ATTA BOY...GIRL...Whatever!

Maintaining a level of discourse is as important as chuckles any day.

Now let's go back to Norm Coleman at the convention. It appears Norm has been using a lot of his term using whitening strips.

@ AKA Smith: Honestly, that was one of the creepiest troll hits we've seen here

Thanks for stepping in, I guess I'm shallow for riffing on it and not challenging it head on like you did.

I am quite willing to rock and roll but human decency is human decency.

To contradict myself from a snarky reply I just made to dbp1954, what that troll was attempting to do was to get replies that would actually serve as degenerate fodder so perhaps I shouldn't be so blithe.

Poor Gwen Ifill is doing the best she can

But boy, several times when they've cut to him David Brooks has had that kinda "backed up in the lower tract" sorta look. After all last week's DNC summation and today's McCain/Palin columns both went over like... New Orleans in a hurricane.

Oh shit, Barbara Bush just entered the hall. Cue the music from "I, Claudius".
