Dude, are you a little punch-drunk there?

Is it just me or does Beck's plan sound a little too close to another group's 1000 year plan?

If you're an asshole people will hate you. If you're an asshole that allows their kid to run wild, people will hate you. If you're an asshole and think that your kid can do no wrong, people will hate you.

But it is true that there are more assholes in this world, but is it because the population has grown? Or is it that society has made more people into assholes? Or, as I think it may be, more people are listening to asshole right-wingers and are carrying that attitude out into the world. You don't have to be a right-winger to be an asshole, but most right-wingers are assholes.

What (9/11) is Rudy (9/11) gonna do (9/11) next (9/11). I hope he (9/11) doesn't keep (9/11) try to (9/11) capitolize on his (9/11) 9/11 experience.

As I'm living in Southeast Michigan, I have to agree with letter D that GR isn't all like that having been there many times. But when you get right outside of Grand Rapids, you run into people that are either Yoopers or wanna be Yoopers and most are just the kind of people that'll call off work to go huntin' and fishin' and drinkin' beer. I imagine many of them are disappointed that "dere ain't many purdy pictures of Sara in dat dere book". And I don't think she has much in the way of common SENSE, there Block 45. Listening to her talk is like listening to a parody of a bad fishing/ hunting show. She really didn't learn to sound at all sincere with all of her time trying to become a sportscaster.

And by flakes I mean truly wise people. See, I've got an idea for marketing trained squirrels that can be placed around your property to guard against those nasty Acorns. A steal at just $5,000 a piece. Oh, did I mention that they're invisible? That way they can sneak up on them lousy Acorns and jump 'em before they know what hit 'em. And for just an extra $500 per squirrel, I'll outfit each of them with a tiny assault rifle. NRA members get a 5% discount. Act now....supplies are unlimited.

"Illegal aliens(i.e. Acorn) abducted me and performed an anal probe on my vote!" Reports have it that silvery low-slung space ships shaped like '65 Chevy Impalas invaded New Yorks 23rd district and committed a mass-abduction of the citizen's votes. They proceeded to put damn commie pinko votes in the place of the legally cast god-fearing votes for liberty, apple pie and America. The lone witness to this night of terror was Candidate Hoffman. He has stated that he plans to fight for the votes to be returned because, "The only folks that are going to ass rape the American people are good conservatives that vote against that type of deviance, like me and Sarah Palin. I mean heck, the GOP has been doing it for so long, it's our right!" Turn to page 42 for undercover photos of these aliens and see for yourself how many are dark skinned and how many are sipping lattes.

Yeah, I'm starting to come down with it. I just wanted to say that I heard a very good reason for SP to not be able to make any kind of run. As was stated on Rachel Maddow's show, SP devoted her book to "punching down", meaning that she attacked those below her. After that, do you think that she'll get anyone of quality to work for her? Should she decide to run on a ticket for POTUS, it won't be a GOP ticket as she's pretty well burned her bridges there and she'll do more damage to the GOP than she with the Dems. This woman is the Courtney Love of politics...a train wreck in progress.

Just imagine Palin running the country. Within monthes we would likely be left with a smoldering heap of ashes with SP sitting on top of it, blaming everyone else for fanning the flames when she was the one that struck the match and poured gasoline on the fire. And people like R2 will be standing around with 3rd degree burns and testifying that she did the right thing for them.

Reader2, I'm gonna give you a piece of advice that I got a long time ago. Don't let your dick run your life. Because the only way I can reconcile a seemingly intelligent person like you going to such illogical lengths to defend SP is that you're seriously so in lust with this woman that you can't think straight. Or this is a game with you, you're just here fucking with us and you're trying to see how ridiculous you can get with your assertations before someone calls bullshit.

Then again, you may well be that unhinged.

What, are you stuck in the '50s? How about saying Asian? And what you know of protocol as it pertains to bowing in Japan, much less to the Emperor, is nil. It was in the Emperor's palace and it is custom for anyone to bow when meeting him. It's also part of State Department protocol to follow local traditions. It's something akin to a foreign head of state walking to greet our President when visiting the White House instead of the President running out to meet them.

You should also remember that Nixon bowed to Hirohito. Bush held hands with a Saudi prince. Why do some in this country prefer to have a President that's bellicose?
