Worst Advice Ever.

If his daughter were a crankhead, should he start smoking meth with her?

Take her to a homeless shelter and volunteer in the soup line. Go to Habitat for Humanity builds and swing a hammer. Take her to visit at nursing homes. Hell, take her to the golf course and walk in the wonders of nature.

Religion is not rational. Provide her with an alternative that is. And don't worry about allaying her fears . . . it's probably just existential dread . . . and it's good for her.

Clear Channel couldn't have made it clearer . . .

. . . they give their undiluted support to fatass draft-dodging cowards who avoid service due to giant pimples on their ass, then turn into Oxycontin-fueled serially adulterous blowhards.

Thanks for the clarification, CC.

And the Democrats say: "Can I get an amen?" AMEN!!!

They probably hope this pathetic loser sticks around as long as possible in the Senate. What with Domenici and Stevens and now Craig . . . things look up for '08. I know Idaho is moonbat crazy survivalist central . . . but COULD a Democrat win after this fiasco??

Seems possible.

Dear Elephantboy and Anonymouse . . .

just go back to licking Rush's ass will you, and stop bothering the non-dittoheads.

A-fucking-men. And a tip of the hat to Elizabeth Edwards . . .

who in a more perfect world would be the Democratic candidate for President in '08.

I'd quit my job and take to the road to campaign for her.

Did Rudy mention that his fucking Yankees got their asses kicked by a team with a $65,000,000 payroll?

Dear Anonymous:

So the Republican front runner is a liar and an idiot of a magnitude equal to Bush.

I don't think anybody said exactly that, but to clarify for your tiny brain:

The thrice-married, twice divorced "Catholic" Republican front runner is a liar and hypocrite of a magnitude equal to Bush, however, when it comes to being a complete fucking idiot -- nobody -- not even Rudy -- can compete with Dubbya.

Come on, Joan, she's so damn perky!!!! The poor man's Katie Couric.

And she's like the daughter Bush never had - you know - well, groomed and articulate. It's hard for Jenna to be articulate when she's grappling with the porcelain steering wheel. And Barbara -- well, let's just say they named her after Grandma for a reason . . .

Sidney - have you heard that woman talk. Her West Texas Twang IS torture.

The torture will not end until Bush is impeached or leaves office more naturally, whichever comes first dear Lord.

Hey, all those dead folks are peaceful. REAL PEACEFUL!

Haven't heard a murmur out of them for some time now, and not one single dead Iraqi has protested Petraeus's possible peace prize.

Thursday, October 11, 2007 06:27 PM

And not just ANY implants.

Nope - Petraeus chose the latest Sig Sauer P-229 implants, featuring aloe and titanium colloidal suspension gel that enhances jiggle factor:

The titanium gel implant is free to move (or shake!) in SIX basic "directions", or more precisely, degrees of freedom. The first three are straight-line motion along three mutually perpendicular directions, usually called the x,y,&z axes. The second three are *rotations*, or twisting motions, once again about three mutually perpendicular axes.

In discussing the "perfectly balanced" gel implant above, we have so far only considered two of these six degrees of freedom. The third linear motion is back and forth along the nippular axis - and *any* implant that has the molecular component of its colloidal gel perpendicular to this axis should not experience undue shaking force in this direction. So far so good.

Now, its time to look at the three rotational degrees of freedom. First, the motion where the tip of the implant (or nipple) goes up-and-down, and the rear of the implant goes down-and-up along the rib cage, i.e. what is commonly called a pitching motion. For instance, if the left implant is going down as the right implant is going up, the "bosom" will want to vibrate in this pitching mode.

If the implant is perfectly symmetric about its midplane, these forces cancel out. It appears that by choosing the correct dispersion ratio and matching gel design, this vibration can be eliminated in the P-229 implant.

In addition to his hypocrisy and disgustingly syrupy personality . . .

Lindsey Graham apaprently believes if your riding in a car when it is involved in an accident, you're not allowed to criticize the driver.

Original article: It was a joke (we think)

An insult to child rapers everywhere.

As far as I know, no child rapers are responsible for 650,000+ civilian deaths in Iraq, nor 4,000 dead US soldiers, nor 20,000 wounded US soldiers, nor vetoed health care for poor and middle class children, which is a rape of children of an entirely different sort.

Better to be the first rat off the Titanic . . .

Imagine what things will look like on the observation deck by the week before the election. The carrion feeders will be perched on the rails . . .

Where is it written that conservatives have to be stupid????? Hello . . . . . .

John Stuart Mill, whose IQ was estimated to be 200,

was a notably precocious child; at the age of three he was taught the Greek alphabet and long lists of Greek words with their English equivalents. By the age of eight he had read Aesop's Fables, Xenophon's Anabasis, and the whole of Herodotus, and was acquainted with Lucian, Diogenes Laƫrtius, Isocrates and six dialogues of Plato. He had also read a great deal of history in English and had been taught arithmetic.

At the age of eight he began learning Latin, Euclid, and algebra, and was appointed schoolmaster to the younger children of the family. His main reading was still history, but he went through all the Latin and Greek authors commonly read in the schools and universities at the time, like Horace, Virgil, Ovid, Tacitus, Homer, Dionysus, Sophocles, Euripides, Aristophanes and Thucydides.

said it best:

Although it is not true that ALL conservatives are stupid people, it is true that most stupid people ARE conservative.
