I'm still scratching my head over Dr. Cole

He asserts that we're (the US) is the root of all problems. Our mere presence is the catalyst for everything that goes wrong. Then he excoriates us for not doing more. We heard the same line about Lebanon.

If Huckabee wins the nod

Dems' arrogance will reach the sky, they will laugh themselves silly making fun of all the voters and they will lose.

Original article: Obama's European problem

Otherwise you'd complain he spent all his time at dinner parties in Europe

Damed if you do damned if you don't. Hey Dems - make up your minds which continent your candidate will be president of: The Mideast or Western Europe?

If it's an insoluable problem then ok

Eco-Rads insist that global warming will kill us all next Tuesday. OK then, I accept that. There's nothing to be done short of suicide.

Original article: Which Democrat is a winner?

It does not matter, just pick one

They are all largely interchangeable. Just pick one and everyone back that one person. Anyone but the GOP would be fine.

If you scream the sky is falling tomorrow morning

You'd better be reasonably sure you're right. Otherwise you start to sound like the people who castrated and killed themselves to be picked up by the space aliens on comet Hale-Bopp. If GW is really going to exterminate us all in the next 30 years either we unwind the clock all the way to the Dark Ages tomorrow or, we just throw up our hands and play beach volleyball until the Big Finish.

Original article: Obama's European problem

Joe hasn't outlined WHY the EU and NATO are so important

Are they? Maybe not so much. Joe? Care to expand on that?

Original article: The Bhutto test

I doubt Joan would care, if instead, Bhutto

Were a 55 year old fat bald guy. Just another craven SW Asian hack who got killed.

I would rather a little bit of terrorism in the US

It's humbling. And that's something we need. So what if there's an occasional bombing and whatnot. The odds of if it touching me personally are pretty damn slim. If that means we can drop this silliness of a 'security' nation, I'm all for it.

Original article: Which Democrat is a winner?

Let's have ALL the primaries day one

Nominate a candidate and move forward. All this silliness, is well, silly. It hardly matters which of them is President any longer - whoever it is will the be last steward of America as it implodes. There is little any of them is able or willing to do to head that off since job 1 is getting elected. What they do after that is almost besides the point.

How's the air up there?

The thin air up there on Mt. Nosebleed is draining oxygen from your sense of humor. 'Superbad' was hands down one of the top 5 films this year. But's it's not in Serbo-Croatian and has few if any lesbian midgets who want to cure world hunger from a Peruvian mountaintop plus it was written AS a movie which seems to be strike one around here.

Jake Brundlefly!

We need a massive teleportation failure and to mix all the candidates together into one gigantic super-candidate.

Original article: The year in sports

No not really

It's just that pro sports have become so programmed ahead of time the only thing remotely interesting is the off the field criminalities. I mean Art Model for years had an entire team of felons some of whom he bailed out of jail personally and drove them across state lines. But no one paid it much attention because back in the day there were games worth watching. Now when you turn on the TV you hear Mercury Morris being a dumb crackhead and Chris Berman saying the 1942 Bears ARE (not were, ARE) a greater team than the 2007 Pats but the real action is in the fantasy leagues.

So fuck pro sports, fuck ESPN and fuck the NFL.

What milquetoasts

I invite you to read Jeremiah 25 if you want a little taste of wrath. But - if anyone at Salon touches a Torah, they'd probably burst into flames like Nazi spies in Raiders of the Lost Ark.

All I know is

Stephen A. Smith is the devil's retarded foster child.

To bad so many of the far left dictators the NYT used to elevate are now dead

Like all the column inches they gave to Arafat to rant and rave. Maybe Castro can get on board now that he has more free time.

Sunday, December 30, 2007 06:05 PM

If you only can tolerate opinions that match your own

Read blogs exclusively and stay away from newspapers. Or, now whenever anyone else mentions anything they read in the NYT you can simply trash the whole thing, claim the whole newspaper is a dark neocon something something plot that always lies 100% of the time and be done with it.

Who cares about Balance anyway?

One need only read the masthead at the Guardian, which is a public trust, legally speaking, to see that their agenda is clear and sharp. They have, do and will see themselves as the socialist vanguard in the UK. It has nothing at all to do with balance. I think you all protest because it's not YOUR agenda.

Be careful for which rube you poke sport at

Huckabee could possibly win it all. Why? Because if he gets the nomination Dems' arrogance will reach to the sky and they will spend all of 2008 making fun of him and calling the half of the electorate that theoretically supports him, retarded redneck fools. Instead of addressing the issues or the election you'll all clap each other on the black congratulating yourselves about how wonderful you all are and don't those no shoes wearin cousin humpin snake handlin hillbillies just amuse?

And that won't conclude well for you, it never does. Maybe that's really your goal though. In the end being the loyal opposition pushing your face against the bakery window from the outside and screaming that life's unfair - maybe that's your real role.

President Bloomberg would criminalize ALL smoking

He's an insane antismoking fanatic. If he could imprison all smokers for life, he would. So there's that.

And oh yeah Gordon, fuck the Jews. Up the Chimney '08.

chikalada

Nah it's just that the 5% of the people here who disagree with you went somewhere else. Now it's 99.3% all the same backslapping furious agreement is all.

Original article: This Modern World

this time next year will he be out of job

TT is a binary view. Dems are all perfect, everyone else is retarded Satan on crack. It will make it hard to pay attention once the Presidency is out of the current admins hands. Who cares what hate radio says at that point. Already fewer and fewer people listen to it.
