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!
...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?
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.
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.
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.
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.
"What kind of a country requires US Marshalls to protect *doctors* performing legal procedures?"
i want my country back.
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.
"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.
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.
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).
that might run against Specter in the primary right?
[writes check for Sestak for Senate 2010 campaign]
you don't go from "totally fucked country" to "shining example of democracy" in one month, year, or term.
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.
GOP betrays long-standing principle of local determination.
what else is new, harry reid get a spine donated to him?
your ass off.
apologies.
and say "like your fucking ass off" and it would have been just as accurate.
Luntz is like the nerd who did all the homework for the jocks, but he wasn't even smart enough to extract money or respect from the douchey football players (GOP) he serves. i mean, he has for ross perot. ross. fucking. perot.
a racist is about to become the (thankfully) minorty committee chair on the JUDICIARY in this country. awesome.
will the GOP just implode already?
where can i go to send this guy some dough?
run sestak....do it.
still smells like shit.
doesn't last any longer than November 2010. welcome the new friend with one hand, but prepare a REAL progressive for the primary with the other.
Kennedy.
joined the majority AND dissented, eh? way to take a stand.
this is the most accurately titled column on the whole site!
ask a wingnut, indeed.
interesting that someone so invested in propping up the reeking carcass of the bush administration has zero interest in identifying him/herself.
what was it about single anonymous sources we're supposed to remember? i think it's in my files under "curveball, iraq war liar"
cause if he knew the issue of NOT prosecuting these scumbags (and i'll happily include any Dem that was briefed and said nothing) would blow up and possibly eventually lead to a popular demand for Bush admin charges and trials, he is an even better politician than i thought.
its like LBJ said to MLK et al: i want a civil right bill too....now go out there and make me sign one.
reich has a very insightful blog (robertreich.blogspot.com) and while i don't agree with others posting that he is useless, i don't understand the point of publishing such a short piece that is largely devoid of analysis.
if it is dudes-only? they're (the creators) dudes themselves, right? at no time do they refuse to consider a similar line for women or anything like that.
its clear what the issue is: the clothing is desirable, but the owner is a douchebag. so rather than simply boycott the line, the author wants to force the designers' hand. get a life.
