Baby daddy?

Baby daddy is a term that refers to men who are not married to the mother of their children. If this man is her husband, then baby daddy is a wholly inappropriate term.

Remember how indignant you got when the shitholes at Fox called Michelle Obama a "baby mama"? How is this any different?

And cherylsass123? Saying "no offense to anyone" is really quite pathetic when you are purposefully overtly offensive. I was offended, and I am neither black nor on welfare, nor do I like anything about hip hop or its culture.

Guess I struck a nerve, huh? Do you always react so angrily when people call you out for your bigotry? Do you have spittle all over your keyboard now?

Thanks for the laugh, though.

You knew I was a Unitarian, but you don't know that I am a man? Was the 'uni-fucking-tarian' just a guess?

Well you did get the 'politically correct' and 'suburban' parts wrong, so it must have just been a lucky guess.

Good guess, I guess.

Original article: "Obsessed with children"

Take them all away

Any single mother who already has six kids, has filed for bankruptcy, and is living with her parents, is right on the edge of being able to responsibly raise them. The appalling selfishness that leads her to add eight more pushes her far over that edge.

She is an unfit mother. Take all the children away. All fourteen of them, not just the eight new ones.

Who paid for the weeks in the hospital? Who paid for the surgery for the caesarian births? Who is paying for the weeks of extensive hospital care the children are receiving? Her father was forced to come out of retirement and take a job in Iraq in order to pay for her and her existing six children. She certainly has not been earning any income for quite some time.

This is truly disgusting. Why was this even allowed to happen? The doctor or doctors responsible for approving the procedures implanting all the embryos should face a review board, if not immediate loss of license to practice.

I pity the fourteen children of this clueless self-centered woman.

It actually quite clear

Which brings up an interesting question: had the interception gone up the other sideline, and a Pittsburgh player gotten in Fitzgerald's way while he was out of bounds, would there have been a penalty?

It's quite clear, actually. The players on the sideline are limited as to how close they get to the field of play. If a player who is not in the game is standing too close to the field, and interferes with a player who is in the game, that is a 15 yard penalty, I believe for unsportsmanlike conduct. If the player on the sidelines is standing where he can legally stand, there is no penalty.

You are really grasping at straws if you take umbrage at the fact that Fitzgerald was out of bounds while he was trying to tackle Harrison. What possible difference does it make?

Why is there so much poor sportsmanship being displayed here by Steelers fans? Your team won. Didn't you notice?

Which do you pick?

It seems to me that if you really loved one of these men, there would be no need to make a decision. You would marry the man you loved.

Since you are trying to decide, you probably don't really love either one. You would probably be better off choosing neither, and finding someone you really love.

Sam the Liar

Wow, what a wonderful sobriquet. Well done teresa!!

Really, we need to make this happen. Every time this pathetic little man is in the news, he needs to be Sam the Liar. Every time.

At first, it may be necessary to point out that he gained fame by pretending to be a plumber when he spoke to Obama during a campaign stop. But after only a very short time Sam the Liar will be well known the world 'round.

Come on War Room, pick up the ball and run with it!

I am guessing that the submission to abuse angle is a prime part of Rick Warren's opposition to gay marriage

If both partners are the same sex, which one submits to the other? Who gets to abuse whom? How can you tell?

Such a dilemma really makes it clear why gay marriage can never work within a biblical framework. It must be stopped!

Atheism produced 100 million deaths only in XX century and I don't see anyone screaming that atheism is criminal.

When I read a statement like that, it is really difficult not to draw the conclusion that the person who said it is extremely stupid. Either that or a shameless liar. What third alternative is there?

To clarify your questionable statement: For atheism to have produced any deaths, the perpetrators of the deaths have to believe that atheism is advanced by the deaths. Can you come up with an example of even one such death?

Just because the underlying cause was not explicitly religion does not mean the cause was atheism. Are you capable of understanding that? It is not especially nuanced. Most twelve-year-olds are capable of that depth of understanding.

Following the logic of your inane assertion, any time someone is murdered in anger, or out of jealousy, or in a mugging, that death is produced by atheism. And that is mind-bogglingly stupid.

Inhofe is a serial liar and scofflaw

I know, I know, Oklahoma is already a laughingstock. But I'll be damned if Jim Inhofe doesn't lower this state's image in the country even further.

This, after all, is a man who has been repeatedly sued by family members for running family businesses into the ground. And then, when he lost the lawsuits, he refused to pay the judgments.

Yep, this is a man upon whom we want the country to rely for legal counsel.
