Generally speaking

Car bombs are scarier than emigration. Assuming of course you don't emigrate to somewhere even worse.

I think your days are numbered

Television does not support the Iraq mission here. We must become a screeching blog.

Greg Gutfled's comment

Is the most retarded thing I've ever seen in print with the person's own name and picture attached.

But in reality since 95% of Don Imus's audience was old ass jerkoffs like him, I'm pretty sure his hatespeech didn't inspire one of them to beat a black woman down in the street or anything.

Hey, as long as it was ok to allow the Nazi's to march in Muncie, I figure all you niggaz can all line up to suck my cock if you're so offended. Otherwise go fuck yourselves in hell with the rest of the nigs, hos and crackheads.

Feel the love, nigs.

Antiscia

But in reality there is no vaccine for Prostate cancer. Which probably has more to do with the fact that it gets something like 1% of the funding compared to breast cancer. So try to at least pretend to keep your screeching bullshit to yourself. The fact is that they discovered a cancer that in fact is preventable, unlike the other thousands of kinds. If you'd like to pay $20,000 for it that's fine. Me, not so much.

Guess what? If I ever needed a heart lung transplant I couldn't afford that either.

So my doctor

Is giving me Viagra and Prozac. The funny thing is that if either one works I don't need the other.

Know what I'm sick of

Screechy Sports 'commentators' who piss and moan and shake their fists at god for every real or peceived so called moral lapse or supposed besmirching of the purity of the game, whatever the fuck that means. I say we take all the babbling bobbleheads and toss them to the lions.

Sorry assholes, but even the ex MLB players on ESPN couldn't hit a major league fastball that well if at all. Anyone who tells me you stick a needle in your ass and like magic you can do that needs to stop huffing their own performance enhancing paint thinner.

You want to know what real 'purity of the game' is?n It's when you watch a baseball game and you don't give a shit about the #3 highest on base percentage in Detroit on a Thursday when the temperature was below 67 degrees for a right hander who also did the same feat in St Louis on a day of the week who's numerical value of the spelling of the pitchers name is higher than the batting average of the hitter opposing him.

Fact is Stat-o-mania and Freakazoids like Stump the Schwab is what will eventually kill baseball.

I bet each of them got better health care than 98% of Americans.

You guys should be cheering about that and giving him a Double Medal of SUPER Freedom.

So if you can hear from another room

Muttering to myself what a soul crushing bitch you are, that's ok too? You're offended? How dare you.

As a good Salonik

I don't understand why we need or should have to follow laws or any legislation at all if it conflicts with our inner anarchist?

It actually started in Japan

So it's really not a Salon issue about oppressed Muslim women at all. But one evil patriarchy is as usefull as another, so, carry on.

Clueless stoner alert

You don't do your article any favors by putting a picture of Mr Slacker Coverboy up there. You might think I'm merciless but the change in the law was common public knowledge and openly discussed 4 years ago. We all chatted up the reality that it was no longer legal or cool to escape to the land of powerful weed. Anyone who's doing it now is probably high all the time or just plain stupid.

Maybe Americans need to learn a second language so they can flee to most of the rest of the world, not just the places that are easy and convenient.

And in a related note

NBA players no longer play any fucking defence at all. I blame whitey for that one.

I vote for ZA (South Africa)

They speak English, more or less. The climate is nice. They're reasonably middle class. They hate the US and Israel and love Syria, Iran and FSU (and I do mean Former Soviet Union, most of the current government is former KGB and Soviet Army trained ANC military wing). Other than that 40%+ adult HIV incidence and level of criminal violence, it's a pretty nice place for a young radical who wants to run away from it all.

Second choice would be New Zealand

They don't like the US and Israel almost as much as ZA, they too speak English. But it's far more expensive to live there and there are more sheep than people. Harder to get a legal job and residency too. They're unlikely to extradite anyone in any action they perceive as being in support of the US or the Iraq war. Plus they have lots of weird animals you don't see see anywhere else. And Hobbits.

I will angrily blog about it

7 of my friends will read it. We will make history.

How to turn a vulnerability into the pity vote

Each of these tools, would eventually be exposed as a 'health question' anyhow. So they smartly turn it into a pity party moment. I am so brave I survived cancer. I am soldiering on. Big fucking deal.

How about the fact that all of them are untreated psychopaths? Yaaaay small victories for mental health!!!!!!!!
