Glen Beck is GROSS. Enough said.
This philosophical turn coat stuff is amazing/amusing - like ANTI-WAR republicans, WHAT WILL THEY THINK OF NEXT?
Limbaugh is trying to cover for the fact that he actually fantasizes about the most pleasurable aspects of homosexual sex. He wants us to think that getting it from both ends is abhorrant when actually it's a sexual formation that he would downright love to be involved in.
OK, the Kostric precedent has been set. Easy to see that many others can now feel emboldedned to follow in his footsteps, he's already their hero, pushing the second amendment to the limit of physically threatening the president. Obviously the Secret Service understood that pulling him out of the crowd would have been the nightmare scenario, as others have noted. And how apt to ponder the scene of a black anti war protester getting anywhere close to Bush. The painful irony makes me want to climb in a cave.
So no doubt the illogical logical conclusion to all this is the murder of our president. I'm terrified of that and what happens then. Will the birthers, deathers, and all that ilk be honest enough to express their extacy the day after Obama is gone? Will they attempt a total coup, killing Biden and Pelosi? Where is all this leading to? Anybody know of a good cave?
He can be SO reasonable, then just when you think that sanity has become part of his M.O., he gets on his Palin kick.
She is nothing but nuts, picking media fights with promiscuous teenage boys and/or late night comedians.
Palin is running in 2012 for sure, time for Republicans to commit their final act of suicide.
Someone commented about how we're all jealous of her for being "drop-dead" gorgeous. Damn, when I look at her I see nothing but ugliness.
Will someone please administer some DIPRIVAN to me? Wake me when the crazy cabal (rush/hannity/beck/oreilly) have expired.
No amount of pop stardom can obscure the fact that MJ was an unrepentant pedophile, he shoved it in all our faces for nearly twenty years. His grossness was matched only by the grossness of the parents who sold him their children. He paied millions and millions to multiple families so that he could continue his pedophilic behavior with abandon.
Anyone who wants this truth to be denied just becasue MJ died, must consider pedophilia as some sort of minor offense.
Too funny Joan!!!!! I have done acid and you hit it spot on, a bad acid trip. You didn't mention his horrible screaming, so scary it made me want to run away.
How charmingly precocious of you to make it all happen.
Hopefully people and society are growing up. Sexuality is more complicated than gay/straight and gay is more complicated than a man wanting to be a woman. Gay is so complicated that the word gay doesn't even fit as a label anymore. I've grown up so much that when anyone so rudely asks me if I'm gay, I use the moment to describe sexuality as more than the choice of a or b, or maybe c.
So drag queens helped society narrowly define sexuality, their demise is a great thing, it shows that people are less into labels. I came out in Dallas in the early 80's, drag queens were all the rage. I foolishly let those around me put me into a corner using sexuality labels. Now I have the vocabulary and maturity to turn things around on anyone who so rudely and publically wants to define my sexuality. It's easy to do, I just ask them why they need to know. You wouldn't believe how fast the inappropriate conversation ends.
Drag queens believe in broadasting their sexuality to everyone. Why? Why make it so easy for people to define you.
So, Rove is in charge of shaping the public's Bush legacy perceptions. It's no surprize then that Bush's utterences are full of rhetoric crafted precisely to create confusion. The intentional double speak helps Bush followers who need to remain confused and in denial about it all. It doesn't matter how many verifiable and objective facts come out that prove Bush is a war criminal. Some Bush zombies to this talk about how WMD was transferred to Syria. Bush's newest incarnation of Rovian rhetoric is the Kool-aid those fools so desperately need.
About Carrie Fischer, one only needs to see the film version of Postcards From the Edge to recognize her great wit. Streep did a great job playing her.
About bi-polar disorder, what a joke. It's a completely overdiagnosed "illness" and a completely worn out term in the public's nomenclature, a term that is now often used abusively so. Somebody once told me "my friend got that" referring to bipolar disorder as if it were a cold.
The overuse/overdiagnosis of bipolar disorder is a metaphor for Americans' need to categorize everything into simplistic terms. It doesn't hurt that psychiatrists and drug companies make BILLIONS on the prevalence of the "illness" that isn't.
Yes, people suffer from severe mental incapacitations, all are unique, just as all people are unique. From my vantage point, there is no such thing as bipolar disorder.
