You know it's funny

Outside of the worthless cable news and places like Salon I've heard no one so far, at the primary level, intra party mention race as an issue. It really looks like a concoction whipped up by sites like this who think they can run with it.

And the 5 black South Carolina women who were asked on CNN who they will vote for seemed noncommittal at best. None of them offered up an opinion either way. And do you know why?

Because everyone has sucked deep from the flagon of PC Liberal non offensive 'every opinion is valid, every point of view is just as nice as any other, I'm sure that if I express all the sides of every story at all times, everything will think I am tolerant and broadminded, yaay Me!'

Or, it's simply that the differences between the candidates is roughly the slim distance between the upper thighs of a Brazilian prostitute that allows a crack of sunlight to pass when her legs are (rarely) together.

Original article: Put a stake in it

My power company wants to control my thermostat

All in the name of 'conservation' I guess. More likely its all in the name of something else. So yeah, let's do that. Let's just turn the power off for 4 hrs a day or so just like our comrades in the 3rd world.

Of course in the general election, Dem votes in SC are meaningless

I live just up the road in NC and in national elections, voting Dem is a vanity vote, at best. It's meaningless as this state has swung far to the right for decades and there really isn't any GOP candidate they wouldn't elect. As far as black candidates are concerned, Hell, North Carolina has had ONE, a single black elected official to a statewide office, since RECONSTRUCTION. And he lost in 2004.

And lemme tell yall something about women candidates in the south. Elizabeth Dole is barely tolerated by her own party here; for being a woman and for being almost a carpetbagger herself. In order for a woman candidate to be truly successful let alone a Dem woman, she'd have to be 10x fundo-crazier than a man.

If AT&T can turn me over to the police after they deliver illegal content to me

And they can get away with quasi-police powers then, yeah, filter all you want. Or, simply sign up to be indicted alongside me when the RIAA comes after BOTH of us.

Me? I'm kind of opposed to ISP's being crack dealers who get to rat you out to the cops and have no responsibility whatsoever for the crack they gave you.

So are we bombing Iran yet?

I've heard this promise from you, for about that last 1500 days straight, guaranteed, sure fire, no doubt bet the farm, tomorrow morning 8am sharp. Are we? Are we? Are we? Are we?

We used to have fire

But the inventor died.

It sounds like they BOTH want to build company towns in Africa

It's a kind of benign colonialism.

There's no one else for me to vote for

All that's left is the ballot I have to cast.

Sweets for the sweet I guess

If you walk around with that splashed across your tits...well, like the Yiddish proverb "If your mother calls you a bastard, she should know."

We don't pay a hooker to fuck us. We pay her to leave.

Original article: They're not there

I never got into that whole ethos

Of refusing to finish a song, on stage, or just walking off. I think if you want to do that Cat Power shit you should have an exhibit at the Whitney Museum instead. Adam Levy or Scout Niblett blow the wheels off Chan Marshall trying to be the Chick Steve Malkmus.

Neither

Edwards will go back to the UNC Poverty center he founded to some real good for real people in the real world.

Are we sick of these movies yet

Computers are evil. All technology is so all powerful it will kill us and incinerate our souls. And while we're at it, all passwords can be broken at random by anyone on earth, in less than 15 seconds.

I'd be afraid

To tell ME you work for an airline. I might rip your head off and shove it up your ass.

My Democratic Congressman, who I've supported and worked for, Brad Miller, would be shocked to hear you. So would Kucinich, who I also worked for.

Why does this film get so much Salon ink?

This is what, the 3rd column? for a movie 99.5% of everyone will never see? What's the deal?

If you spoke Hebrew you would have heard of her before

Most of Yael's work is in Hebrew, some in French. Broaden your horizons, people.

Well ONE of them lives longer, at any rate.

The other one's gonna get ninjitsu ass-kicked by the cops.

He took down one helicopter with a rock

and another one with a bow and arrow. Rambo could kick Chuck Norris's ass with the broken off arm of a T-800 Terminator.

If I had a coupla minwage jobs and a double commute

I'd have almost no time to PREPARE food. You see it's a time problem. Poor = strapped for time. Ergo fast(er) food. Certainly one could eat cheaply from scratch with a somewhat spartan diet albeit a healthy one. But it's awfully plain and it takes time. And who seeks out a PLAIN diet anyway?

I'm pretty sure the redneck tards will honest to god take a potshot at Hillary.

Yeah they're that crazy and that stupid. Hell, I bet John Gibson from Fox will try. These dopes have been sucking their own fumes for so long they'd think they're heroes.

Wow that's great

A tiny minority of the the minority of Saudis who are citizens who are women who are middle class are now allowed to get behind the wheel w/o getting caned.

We love the Saudis and all their fucking progress. This is awesome. This is truly what being a liberal is all about.

Funny story.....

The second time I had cancer I was on the table waiting for the cobalt gun to fire up and there I am stripped naked and tied down for 45 minutes because there some technical problem. I started yelling at them to get their shit together and I heard this soothing female voice remind me "Well we don't want to make you sick...."

Sick? Sicker than what? Sicker than cancer? Push the Goddamn button goddamnit!!!!!

Well there you have it

We disapprove of slaughtering women on religious grounds. Whatever reason our culture and our communities ARE slaughtering women, it's definitely not because of religion. So stop badgering us.

Oh C'mon Gordon, tell the truth

You're never burned out by Jewbashing. You live for it.

McKinney is a crackpot though

Maybe that's emblematic of all niche third parties. Love them, love their insanity.
