It's Not A Sexy Look

Unless a woman has a tattoo on her mons venus, shaved or waxed makes her look prepubescent. I'm a bit older than 27, and I was similary "shocked" the first time I was with a woman who was waxed.

There are two reasons why the only watchable porn is from the 70's and 80's. They used film instead of video and the actresses usually had well groomed bushes.

Are You A True Democrat? Take the Test and Find out!

It's simple really, just compare your views to these three great Vermonters.

If you mostly agree with Howard Dean on healthcare, you are a true Democrat.

If you mostly agree with Patrick Leahy regarding our system of justice, you are a true Democrat.

If you mostly agree with Bernie Sanders regarding fiscal policy (yes I know he's neither a Democrat nor a 'Vermonter'), then you are a true Democrat.

Everyone else, incuding the President, is a corporatist.

Does the Nitwit who wrote this know...

"Let's compare Pres Braindoner's actions on Iran with Ronald Reagan's dismantling of an earlier "Evil Empire." Ronnie would have been at the border saying loud and clear "Tear down this wall" or similar."- thankgodfortheatlantic

That Reagan didn't bring down any evil empires, in fact he gave Saddam chemical weapons to use against Iran. All rightwingers are promoting evil in the world. The beauty of the US and Western democracies is that correct thinking liberals can sometimes effectively counter the madness, but only if we stick to our principles.

Is there any doubt whatsoever whose side this commenter would be on if he were Iranian? You think this authoritarian boob would be doing anything other than killing the protesters?

@DanielGlee

What a load of crap. Netanyahu and Ahmadinejad are exactly the same person,. The only difference is that in Israel, the correct thinking liberals can influence policy. In Iran, the rightwing nuttia is unopposed. I contend that your comment is in immoral.

GLR

I don't hate Jews or Israel. I don't hate Muslims or Iran. Nearly every country in the world is run by rightwing warmongerers and I don't even hate them, although I am obliged to try and mitigate the damage that they cause.

Of Course Iran and Israel Are Equivalent

Neo-con trash talking and war mongering is an international phenomenom. It doesn't matter what country you live in, the rightwing nuttia is determined to destroy as much life as is humanly possible.

Another Betrayal By Obama

I supported Obama wholeheartedly and he has disappointed me with nearly every single decision he's made. There is simply no defending DADT. It costs the taxpayers money and it gets our troops killed. Furthermore, rather than maintaining morale, it hurts morale. The troops realize how damaging this policy is during wartime. Those aren't gays that are being tossed aside, they are soldiers, nurses, pilots, and intel personel, all perform critical functions.

Don't Ask, Don't Tell, Don't Collect Intel, Kill American Troops!

Of course Lt. Choi's unit supports him, soldiers who have been put in harm's way understand how important his job is. Irrespective of the inherent unfairness of DADT, it's a policy that has gotten allied troops killed unnecessarily.

The Premise Is Correct

Female infanticide and selective abortion is going to have disastrous consequences for China. Perhaps gay marriage or polygamy (multiple husbands) might mitigate them. It's pretty much established throughout nature, that a surplus of single males spells trouble. Females are the default sex. When a species is stressed, it naturally produces more females, so by selectively aborting them, you are in effect, destroying yourself.

Needless to say...

I'm a huge admirer of his. Giving equal weight to both the playing and managing career, Yogi has to be at or near the top of the list.

She's Not Sexy, She's My Sister

I don't think Rachel Maddow is sexy per se, but she is very attractive. It's her humor and common sense that I find appealing. BTW, she looks great on her own show, suits and contact lenses. When she appears on talk shows however, she seems to favor an unflattering shade of brown and those oversized black framed glasses. Whatever, I loved her on the radio and am delighted that her TV show is doing well. I was the loudest of the chattering internet masses clamoring for her to get a show on MSNBC.

For Whom The Sleigh Bells Toll

I imagine Bill called up a few people and said, "Whom are you kidding?"

I have a theory, anybody who begins a question with the word whom, doesn't enjoy Christmas. Yes I know, in this case it's grammatically correct, so does Bill Clinton, but it just sounds pretentious.

I'm Not A Lawyer, Despite...

my screenname. Isn't the reason why people are pushing for prosecution of war crimes by the Bush administration is because he can't pardon them.

The Way I See It

Criminal Republican operatives put an illegal wiretap on Spitzer's phone. He was a major obstacle to the looting of our financial institutions.

My biggest fear about Obama is that he won't prosecute the crimes committed by Bush, that he may even be in on the crimes himself, appointed with the task of selling them to the American public. BTW my biggest fears about Obama tend not to bear out, like that he was going to lose the election.

In My Top Ten

The scene where the villagers go out in their boats to see the Queen Mary pass by is one of my favorites. Visually and emotionally it was pitch perfect.

My only complaint about McCaffrey is...

that he doesn't drink enough delicious Coca-Cola, and the man definitely is in need of a McDonald's Happy Meal.

Thank You!
