Original article: Obama hearts New York

Regarding Prison Guards, Etc.

What people must understand is that Obama is a Joe Leiberman acolyte. The very fact that he accepted the endorsement of a prison guards union is proof positive that he is NOT what he appears to be.

You want REAL change?

Vote for John Edwards. Don't believe the bullshit you've heard about him. He's the real deal...and God knows we need that today!

Original article: The Susan Estrich Complex

I Have A Question For Susan Estrich

If Dukakis getting in that tank was such a disaster then why, as his campaign manager, DID YOU ALLOW IT?!

My God, what a disloyal cunt.

My Last Letter Was Glib

This time I'm serious. I was chilled to the bone by how this shooting reminded me of the on-camera murder that ABC News correspondent in Nicaragua back in '79. I was only 14 when I saw it on TV, and couldn't sleep for weeks.

@Texas P.I. Lawyer

I took that test you posted. I scored 76.7% correct. The economics questions killed me, but there were a few others related to politics and history that I should NOT have gotten wrong. Shame on me.

"But at least it has balls where they count."

Ahem...well, I suppose it would have to for those smokin' hot sex scenes to work.

Hate To Disagree, But

After the Gulf War, when I worked on Fisherman's Wharf, a bunch of soldiers on leave came into my store. One of them was a woman, an MP, and she told me an interesting story.

She was walking down a street in Riyadh with a fellow (male) MP. Both of them were wearing cammie tank-tops because of the incredible heat. But they were also both clearly identifiable as U.S. military personnel, and were armed. As she walked and talked with her partner, one of those chickenshit religious police officers came up behind her and thwacked hard on the back with his baton. Both she and her partner whirled around, pulling their pistols and pointing at the religious policeman, who immediately smiled, held up his hands and said "OH! So sorry, my mistake!"

As the MP told me at the time, it wasn't any fucking mistake.

You Find THAT Squeam-Inducing?

You haven't done enough YouTubing. Try these searches:

"iraq war fallujah"

"brown recluse spider bites"

"staph infection"

"zits"

That last one is no joke, by the way. People will film and upload ANYTHING to YouTube.

Although Not As Harsh As Anonymous 01:36

I'm afraid I have to agree. Often have I wondered how many "Reagan Democrats" now live on the streets, or in grotesquely sub-standard housing while working at Wal-Mart. The difference between me and Anonymous is that I would say that while karma is a bitch, baby, political dogma can blind you and bite you in the ass much faster than perhaps anyone realizes.

"light-hearted comedy", huh??

Yes, there's nothing funnier than a human catastrophe. This film sounds like its director doesn't know a fucking thing about India. No Indian woman - especially in India itself! - would full around with a white American. Hell, they won't do it here in Silicon Valley. And as for making a comedy about off-shoring - the idiots can't even get the nomenclature right - I'm tempted to go find the director of this travesty and shove a theatre copy of it straight up his tight ass.

There Really Aren't Any Homosexuals "Like [We] Have Them In This Country"

Because in Iran an openly gay man or lesbian is EXECUTED.

Americans Today Are Living Longer, So They Use More Healthcare and--er, uh....

Sorry. I've seen that fucking ad so many times now I can recite in my sleep.

Can You Say "The Three Stooges"?

I knew you could.

WHAT A LOAD OF CRAP!!

Not the video, which was hilarious, but the food discussed therein. But I have a solution, especially for those who want to wean themselves from Rice Krispies.

You know that snap, crackle and pop sound that Rice Krispies makes when you pour milk on it? Well, it's identical to the sound dead human flesh makes when you pour maggots on it and they start chowing down.

And I learned that HERE, in an article published by Salon.

I See "The David Sugarman Show" Is On Every Channel

Time to switch off the set.

Original article: A litany of housing woes

Renters Beware

It is my understanding that 1 million families have thus far lost their homes to foreclosure. Assuming two kids per family, that's FOUR MILLION people who are going to need to rent apartments. Which means we're all going to take it right up the ass - again. I am so sick and tired of having my cost of living dictated by other people's stupidity and greed.
