My limited experience woman do hate one night stands until they want to have one. Then afterwards they go back to hating them until they want to get laid.
Or in the words of "The O.C.'s" Marissa, "If I wanted to be treated nice I wouldn't be with you."
I believe Toyota's SUVs and Trucks are close to or right at the new proposed CAFE standards for 2011. So if they have a "challenge to meet" maybe they should call Tokyo?
Didn't know Adam Smith applied to fetuses.
Okay, enough with the Jennifer Aniston stories. We know that you are some how obsessed by a bottom of the A-List Celeb who's only claim to fame is being out hustled for her man by The Hottest Thing On Earth but this really must stop. Really.
Jennifer Aniston isn't cool, isn't that interesting, isn't even considered a box office draw. Jennifer Jumped the Shark.
Time to let go, girls. Have a good cry and eat some chocolate.
And in the meantime, how about some real news about the Bush Administration, or the inepititude of the Democratic party, or anything that isn't somehow connected to pregnancy, crying, vaginas, prescription pill poppers turned lovers, child-rearing, Jennifer, Bennifer, Brangelina...
Why aren't there at least some people on the Democratic side of the aisle banding around the "I" word for both Cheney and Shrub?
From the Iraq War to the Plame case Bush Jr. has committed a crime against the United States as great as Nixon's crimes in Watergate and in excess of anything Bill Clinton did in Office.
Yet no one is really talking about "Impeachment" on the Democratic side? Or have we finally landed in a Bizarro world where a blowjob is a far worse crime the lying to the American people and sending over a thousand young men to die.
As Brad Pitt taught us:
Whenever a woman does not want your spawn there is always an equally hotter chick more than willing to stop the world and breed with you.
Why waste your time in trying to change someone's mind? Its like trying to change a truck into a sedan when there is a perfectly good sedan one dealership down.
I always wonder why casual drug users get tarred and feathered by peers and the general public. Most of us get by day to day leading fairly normal lives through chemistry
Then you look at Whitney Houston and Bobby Brown, and realize that, yes, Drug Abusers give drug users a bad name. If possible Houston and company give cocaine an even worse reputation than previously lavished on it.
For people like these I was always a big fan of small scale corporate terrorism. My favorite was changing the old school "IT IS NOW SAFE TO TURN OFF YOUR COMPUTER" screen into, "DO NOT SHUT DOWN! COMPLETE HARD DRIVE FAILURE".
Also stealing the those precious knick-nacks on his/her/its desk, rearranging paperwork, loosening the bolts of chairs, coffee pollution, etc.
Civilization is a history written by morons who wouldn't or couldn't or didn't do the obvious to save themselves and died out. That's life, has been for thousands of years.
How about the people who do need and want to move?
One of the great testaments to "blogofascism" is that all those un-washed masses Blogging make for wonderful B.S. detectors. As Siegel undoubtedly found out.
If someone posted a blog attempting to argue what Lee Siegel is trying to argue he would roundly and rightly by decried as a nut. There would be no critical analysis beyond a hilarious thumping of his psuedo-intellectual rantings accompanied by LOLCAT jpegs on every message board from NeoGAF to the Democratic Underground.
However inside the little New York sewing circle of supposed intellectuals and "taste makers" that have lived past their expiration date the raving nut is taken seriously.
There-in lies the difference between the Old Media and Siegel's "BLOGOFASCISM OF THE 21ST CENTURY!"
Even if she makes it to the convention the only way she is going to get the nomination is by a back room deal that will blow up the Democratic party permanently and spark calls for Obama to run as a Third Party.
Neither of which would be bad in the long term, but certainly precludes any sort of progressive Presidency for the next four years and basically gives John McCain 08. And all because of... what? Hillary's Ego and Entitlement to Power.
I hope Dean, along with Al Gore who knows a few things about being cheated out of an election, will step in stop this nonsense.
...of why Obama has won so much support and Hillary is beginning to be hated by the real progressive movement in this country.
Seriously, read your own letters Hillary Drones. All of them sodden with entitlement to power just 'cuz (she had the misfortune to sleep (or not) with Bill Clinton for eight years) and filled with whiney snark for Barack Obama who manages to inspire something other than pure bile from people. Unlike your preferred candidate.
There is a part of me that wishes Hillary does ride all the way to the convention on her campaign broomstick and manages to win the nomination. Simply because it will blow apart the Democratic Party, and then -- maybe -- we can start a real Progressive Party in the U.S. without the power-mad, white Dinosaurs like Hillary Clinton and Harry Reid, who have managed to collude with a Fascist Presidency and lie us into war and near ruin on every front.
