That picture of Spock

Looks like a guy at a Star Trek convention dressed up as Spock. Which I guess is more or less the point.

So he can't fix them

Ok let's complain endlessly about how much we suck then. That will fix it.

Maybe they can do it like Scooby Doo

With each newer worse iteration having the characters get younger and younger until they're babies.

Not enough

s/he MUST be a transgendered gay Hispanic handicapped Muslim. Hopefully a communist. At the least someone who's been homeless and a crack addict 5 of the last 11 years.

Wow that's a lot of punishment to mete out

For the sake of a few union jobs that are going to be lost anyway. I'm sure this will cause 1 million Americans to run out and buy Chrysler cars now, saving the day.

I have never heard of this show

But anything Whedon is bigger than the Koran here. So I'm sure it's wonderful.

So this is just about television not about reality.

Ok fair enough. Maybe we can talk about all the faux non-sex in Twilight. Anyway - - since when were women flocking to 'give it up'? Ever? One woman has anonymous sex in a car and it's a 'sexual revolution'. Two do it, it's a craze. Three, and Broadsheet proclaims that women are being pressured to drink and copulate against their will.

Say what you like, women have not, are not and never will 'give it up'. Women use sex for love, with men it's other way around. Therein lies the rub.

Original article: Stop "Hillary-care" now!

I'm on three prescription drugs

One of which is generic, the other two are not. I certainly hope that Big Mama Healthcare comes after me so that someone else can get 50 visits to an allergist where they can't afford that now. For better or worse, the health 'care' companies and the government won't do a materially different job from one another. CAT scans will still cost $4800 and the prescribed remedy in your plan will still be 'take an aspirin and stop whining'.

The question I do have and it's a serious one, is, What will do when/if the government decides to raise our costs 15%-20% per year, year after year, like the private companies have done for a generation? Who will you complain to and what good will it do? Not that complaining to anyone now under private plans does anything. I just want to know what you propose when end user up front costs continue to rise and rise, like a tax we have no control over?

Josef Mengele was a doctor

I suggest we hunt down and execute these guys and gals too. After all it's the logical conclusion of what you yourselves have been saying.

Original article: The dirt on A-Rod

What about extra bases?

What about all those utility guys who can now turn singles into doubles? What about juiced pitchers facing juiced batters?

More than half of all marriages involve someone cheating on someone.

One out of 7 husbands wrongfully assume they are their kids biological father. Nothing new here.

Original article: "Star Trek"

Looney Toons did the same thing

But really all I hope for is for a Joss Whedon series to come out of this, and we can full on Chick-TV with it once and for all.

And please, anyone who's seen this movie - is there 95% jittery hand held camera or 97%?

Original article: Quote of the day

Not even David Souter believes the SC is good for much

He said this openly and it's one of the reasons he's quitting. Salon can scream to the heavens how they're gonna burn down the city unless a lesbian interspecies Buddhist performance artist gets the job but EVEN THE PEOPLE WHO DO IT THINK ITS LARGELY A WASTE OF TIME.

Cmon face facts, all you want, the ONLY thing you want is someone who's going to guarantee abortion and personally wield the sword that executes all GOP'rs. That's is, that's all you want and nothing else matters.

Ladies, we don't pay you to come

I still have never even heard of this

So it must be on the top 5 of most precious intolerable horseshit from the Film Studies dept @ Salon.

Yeah but if

Obama resurrects Bush's quasi theocracy, I'm sure you will sing His praises. It's the law.

Original article: I Like to Watch

What about all the other cute NPRish things you get from Alzheimers?

Like paranoia, violence, loss of control of body functions, inability to feed one's self. As the child and caretaker of a parent who died of this disease, I can tell you there's nothing cute or quaint or sentimental or kitchy about it.

Sorry, but you fail and you suck.

I blame

The banks, the Republicans, the Jews, Television (non Showtime/HBO), dog figthing, eating meat, oil, and southerners.

Original article: I Like to Watch

Nobody wanted to know

Year after year of getting blank meaningless statements and absolutely no information how Madoff made his money was bad enough. Putting every dime you ever made in one fund was icing on the stupid cake.

I laugh when I hear those news snippets where some old fossil-American whines that the nice man who charged her $70,000 to shovel the snow off her driveway turned out to be a mean man, and why don't you people listening send me money.....because I'm oooooooolllllllddddd!!!!

These people were greedy and stupid and perhaps they should have had a responsible financial governor take all that 'choice' and greed out of their hands.

I wonder how many of these people GOT the money to invest by taking out a fourth mortgage on the house they already couldn't afford because they didn't have jobs?

This is Tofu for the Salon fascists

Children are bad. The world can't support it. Why are you so selfish? How many times did your evil husband rape you in order to impregnate you as part of his plan to keep you down? etcetera

To say nothing

Of the ever thorny 3 way non hierarchical delete preference problem.

Wanda Sykes

Is the wise sassy fat black woman stereotype for the gay audience. Everyone knows that.

Sunday, May 10, 2009 03:27 PM

Obama will create flying cars

So we won't need jets anymore.

Sunday, May 10, 2009 05:23 PM

so what next?

An atheist loyalty oath for all civil servants? I'm not you're going to get far demanding that your public servants identify with no espoused beliefs at all.

Don't let them get you down. You and I know that evil Jew science is poised to destroy the world with their genetic infection. Death to the Jews. Long live Reich Science!
