elephant AWOL

Yeah, Geroge W. Bush, to use your spelling, was a real man's man, defending Houston from the Viet Cong in a candy ass billet daddy got for him. Then he went to the Alabammie Rangers and then deserted during wartime. Nothing Harken could have done would dishonor the uniform the way the cokeheaded AWOL preppie prick did. I was serving at the time, and brothers of mine died while he blew off his cushy service. What an utter bastard. Your leader. The least popular preznit in Murkan history. A drooling fool, and a lifelong failure at every single thing his family ever arranged for him. He's a war criminal. Semper fi.

Not a Subject to Trivialize

Snarky questionnaires won't get us the White House. Colonoscopy Powell is a war criminal, a sell out, and a coward. If he'd any patriotism or guts, he would have resigned over Iraq.

The possibilities: Webb; Richardson; Edwards. My call is Richardson. Two senators may be one too many. My original dream ticket was Edwards/Obama, which I think would have been unbeatable. Now impossible.

popup timer

the plastic popup in billary's meaty thigh has popped. Up. She's done. Regarding body parts and the appropriateness of language. TRenee, I agree fully that using the "c" word to a woman as an epithet is wrong. However, I do think The Decider is a cunt, a preppie pretend cowpoke who probably actually does poke cows. After Laura's in her cups. So, it's all in the context. George Dumbya is, without doubt, a full fledged cunt, whereas Billary, who is not, is now merely irrelevant, an un-wisdom tooth aching to be pulled.

smith

you didn't ask me, but I'd much prefer clinton to reid. he's a nothingburger with nothing on it. we need someone in the cloakroom to kick ass, take names, and line up votes. I think she's proven the personality traits to deserve a shot.

coming first

women have every right to come first, or repeatedly, but it's best for everyone when we come together. John and Yoko could have told ya that. But Alias Smith and Jive weren't born yet. Amazing how they already know everything. Just ask 'em. The only defensible moral position, politically, socially, or economically, is egalitarian. Biologically, it's just plain stupid. Go to a preschool playground and watch for a while, or some youth soccer games. Different but equal is NOT the same as separate but equal. Y'all come now, hear?

Kate, Still Stupid After All These Posts

Do you friggin' cook, Katie? Beef doesn't have a popup timer. Usually, turkeys like you and billary. She's not a side of anything. She's a bright woman who got her ass handed to her. Your opinion is as worthless as the aforementioned popup timer, mindless and plastic. No real cook uses that crap. I've been the family cook for 35 years, so stick that up your feminist pipe.

zero sum smith

nice straw woman, smithie, but the "pie" (an interesting choice of words in itself) is not finite, unless all you care about are material things. Maybe that's it. You're just like LeCastrata, only your thing is hate filled fallopian politics, while hers is pretension and acquisitiveness uber alles. Same jive, just different panties. Wad them as you will.

rape stats

okay, village smithie, where do your amazingly high rape statistics come from? Please understand that, as a husband of a wife, a father of daughters, and a grandfather of granddaughters, I fine rape almost as vile a crime as murder. If any of my family members were raped, I'd want to kill the perp myself, despite the fact I oppose the death penalty. But one in four? How is rape defined? Date rape? Drunk and changed your mind in the morning rape? Or brutal involuntary sex? I know that rape is so profoundly violating and repugnant that the victims often don't want to have anyone know what they've suffered. I get it. But, I've known hundreds and hundreds of women over my 61 years, and many of them very well- as friends, as lovers (in my single years, mercifully brief though they were), as colleagues. Only one ever shared her trauma with me- and she was a friend of my parents, a lifelong family friend. So, to assume your statistic true, one of four of all those women had experienced rape- real rape- and none of them, even the ones I knew intimately for years, with whom I shared, mutually, the deepest secrets of life, ever said a word. I ask this out of curiosity, not out of any attempt at confrontation. Enlighten me. I had no idea- none- that this vile event was so prevalent. Tell me. thanks, jeffersonian

NIxon Was Smarter

Tricky Dicky used the strategy without uttering something as cosmically stupid as "hard working Americans, white Americans". She sounds like David Duke. I know she's not a racist, by any definition, nor is Big Bill with The Big One, but they are Machiavellian to core. She'll say anything to peel away some super delegates. Anything. Imagine what they say in private. Disgusting.

smith the self righteous

so, your stats are bullshit, just like I thought. Rape means forced sex without consent. That's all it means, and it's an appalling thing. Your attitude is of the bottom feeding variety that normally elicits the c, b, a, and mf words. that's what you want: confrontation, so you can feel so very righteous. Piss off. I didn't call Hill a beaver: I called beaver a beaver, since she's so pretentious she chose a French nom de guerre that means beaver. Billary has been bitchy; so has Bill, and Penn, and Lanny Davis. It's not a gender issue. You're pathetic.

walter

I was quoting Stentor's slur, and giving her one of her own to match. It was not in any way aimed at you. You've misread me sir. We're headed the same direction. I have been known to be a shithead, but this was not such an instance. thanks, jeff
