Glad to see you raking the Dems over the coals too.
I love Matt Taibbi and urge everyone to read more of him. He is one of the few willing to stand up and call bullshit on things regardless of political sensitivities.
are there only like 50 people registered on there?
I'm ready to retch, looking at Vanscendant's face for the hundredth time.
they are pulling back.
After all, they have been so successful as a party in the last eight years, bringing down the US, to its knees, so its people will accept anything the so-called leaders want to force us to accept. Things like handing over trillions in cold hard cash to their friends, the Wall Street experts, for instance. The repubs have been a smashing success, generating all this new business for their military industrial friends, fomenting seeds of rage that can ignite into future middle east wars, thrashing away our rights so we have no where to run, and thus are forced against our wills and interests to continue to accept having our very spirits and souls be destroyed so that Moloch can be sated.
Of course, the Dems have not been slackers either, tacitly accommodating all of the desires of the party to which they are supposedly opposed. Think how happy Pelosi and Reid and all the other rats must be, licking their chops as they take on the reins of this newly developed crypto-fascist nation. ...Unfettered spying on citizens, waterboarding for fun, preemptive nucular wars anywhere the natives decide to take some initiative to throw off the chains of the oppressive state.
It is a good world that is coming. If you are a trillionaire.
women produce less saliva in general than men
Wow, my HS girlfriend must have been an outlier, because she always seemed to be talking thru her saliva when she was around me.
Any man, in power or not, apologizing for anything personal and sexual is, in my opinion, a coward. He is not standing up for himself and for men, telling everyone to fuck off, that men have the right to enjoy themselves.
Instead, he is capitulating to others based on some pretense that the man is above human or above others.
Ironically, of course, he is proving out the prejudices of the women haunting him to repent that he is beneath them.
So women get cake and women eat it. A man in power is brought down low.
So who REALLY has the power? Certainly, it would not seem to be any man who is seemingly in power. The real power then lies with the pooh poohing women, because, really, most men couldn't give a flip how many interns a president is banging.
Now, men running scams on men, like the opportunistic investigations being run on Bill Clinton may have huffed and puffed that this was some moral crusade, but it was not, it was a way to bring down the opposing party.
I have mentioned before that Americans are much more concerned about a stain on a dress than a stain on their nation.
It is why I cannot take any American seriously anymore, nor trust them.
The rest of the world sees things the same way, which is why the fun is just starting with this U.S led depression.
Any country with REAL citizens would have drummed this mass murderer out of the White House after the FIRST major transgression (the rotting PaTrot Act, snuck in in the dead of night under false pretenses).
I've been dirt poor, in college, and happy. I've had SOME money and the ability to spend it, and it was OK, but you quickly get used to the new level of money. Now I am broke again (can't sell the fucking house because nobody can afford a jumbo loan, the markets are frozen, and the property value has gone down to below mortgage cost), and my happiness comes from the peace of mind of knowing I can buy my cup of coffee each day, sit in a cafe or a park and read a book or the internets.
In other words, quit your fantasies that money matters much.
Yeah, sure, if you are clever, you might manage to live below your means. But largely, my happiness has lain with what I have accomplished or achieved in my day to day, not in how loaded I am.
Would I love to be independently wealthy so I can write books, learn the guitar, make documentaries? Sure, but what is stopping me from doing it on the side now? After all, if I love doing it, it is not a burden to me to spend some more time past my 40 hour workweek to work on it.
Life is too short to begrudge someone else's good fortune. I have a beautiful lakehouse now (the one I cannot unload) and it really has not meant that much to me (not as much as you might expect) other than the occasional breast beating pride.
per the description on here of so called misogynists, these feminists must be awful human beings.
On this I agree.
Poop in your gas tank.
