then maybe you should grow up. this is pathetic. i hate those commericals for purely aesthetic reasons, but if we're wasting all this time cause we're too prudish to have frank conversations with our children about sex then we totally fucked on all of our other -- ie, REAL -- problems.

you don't go from "totally fucked country" to "shining example of democracy" in one month, year, or term.

that might run against Specter in the primary right?

[writes check for Sestak for Senate 2010 campaign]

can't wait til he's in the wheelchair full-time. soon after, he'll lose the ability to speak. then, he will watch in silent, tortured agony as obama undoes the terror of the last eight years. think longshanks at the end of braveheart (sans the hero dying and all).

it seems highly unlikely that abstinence-only sex ed would be expressly funded by an administration that is looking for common sense answers to chronic problems. emphasis on common sense.

"The nominee has serious problems. Those kinds of things that might happen."

please tell me this is a bad transcript and NOT that the gop head of the judiciary committee speaks that poorly.

hit: beavis & butthead, idiocracy, office space, the "milton" shorts on SNL from his original office space short

miss: king of the hill and almost undoubtedly this pile of crap

not that liberals aren't ripe for skewering -- see south park, simpsons, blahblahblah -- its just that, as most letters have noted, centering a comedy on that premise (rather than infrequently adding such storylines to individual episodes) is pretty stale by now.

"What kind of a country requires US Marshalls to protect *doctors* performing legal procedures?"

i want my country back.

GOP whines when a company is bailed out: "waahh, that's what bankruptcy is for".

then they when when they aren't bailed out: "waahh, you're screwing over the american car worker"

even an electorate as inattentive as this one sees through the GOP bullshit. they really have no hope at all if this is what they're planning on basing their "comeback" on. and that's sad because this country needs more effective political parties, not fewer.

Tiller's murderer is clearly part of a larger organization of fanatics that have used terrorist tactics repeatedly in the past to achieve a political end.

This guy in Arkansas -- although there is a preliminary FBI file on him, the investigation has not turned up any hints of terrorist networks -- IS the lone nutcase that most media outlets are trying to portraying Tiller's murderer.

When it turns out that this man in Arkansas is part of a large, armed and dangerous network of terrorists operating inside the US, then it warrants full coverage. As full as the coverage on Tiller's death SHOULD be.

if the NBA/WNBA is any guide, it will be a looong time before we see women in AA ball, let alone the major leagues.

also, we pay interest on what china loans us. last time i checked, there was no interest on the "aid" we have given israel. time to call in a few chips i'd say. PAST time.

...how do we transform the GM manufacturing facilities we just bought (that's the royal we, as in all of the bloody US) to be capable of producing thngs like this?

all those anti-gay marriage forces, who clamored for this to be decided through state legislatures, not those filthy liberal activist judges, start to claim it's not the activist courts, not the state legislatures, but only THE PEOPLE, through constitutional convention, that can make such decisions.

enough segregation already. i am glad NH has followed my home state's (MA) lead!

laura has never read any kurt vonnegut, or much sci-fi for that matter. who hasn't read storylines about aliens building the pyramids?

no wonder we get such poor excuses for journalists in the msm.

why stick one's neck out for groups to the left of the Dem party? not that i don't think he should -- there are a host of instances where obama has let his left flank sit out on a limb very unfairly.

but where does it get him? it wins him support for the groups who have no (real) choice but to vote Dem, and it alienates a huge swath (hate to say it) of the electorate that they are trying to attract.

again -- i ain't sayin' it's right -- but if you're looking for cold political calculation, here it is.

should basically render her unfit for the job.....what kind of judgment does that show?

are the Colorado reps and senators willing to take the gitmo prisoners? if not, they're chickenshits.

"You are literally too stupid to insult."

she got famous for being gorgeous, skinny, and a little bit better than average singer.

now that she's "overweight" (whether by 5 pounds or 500 pounds) and no longer in the public eye due to the fact that she is no longer physically attractive as she once was, she goes on a sojourn across the world to discover what "real" beauty is?

this sounds like an Onion article. what a joke. and the joke's on journalists who take it seriously. if you think she's going to get into an intellectual conversation with nebraskan girls about burquas, you haven't been paying attention.

for dead hookers. at this point its a toss-up on the gender.

was it una mjuer, o un hombre en argentina, senor sanford?

you knew this had to be the case. "Standard Operating Procedure" is all about Abu Ghraib. easily the creepiest part is when a young MP describes how unidentified americans routinely brought dead detainees to be held overnight without any documentation that they, or the deceased, had ever been there.

if it can happen just one time, it's easily happened many more. this is exactly why we need a torture commissions, trials, and punishments.
