It's the same power that helped a little boy with two fish and five loaves feed a crowd of 5,000 people

Excuse me, but wasn't Jesus a man of thirty when that little event took place? What kind of preacher makes a mistake like that?

As to the politics - well, that's what happens when you have free speech. The shit floats to the top. The squeaky wheel gets the grease. It's not that absolute power corrupts absolutely; it's that absolute attracts people who are absolutely corruptible. If Huckabee is displaying a religiously megalomaniacal streak, it's because it was there all along, but the public didn't want to see it. We can be thankful that it's being exposed now, while there's still time to keep this bugfuck loon out of the White House.

There are a hell of a lot of people out there who ought to pick up a book.

That is all I have to say. - Ten Bears

What the hell happened to the fully electric car? Remember that one? The one GM would only LEASE to its customers, because they were waiting for a change in government regulations which would let them yank it off the market? THAT'S what I want to see back on the roads.

Back in 1999, I worked at a Saturn dealership. I got to drive those things, and let me tell you, they were a DREAM. Fast, quiet, incredibly cool. I was in love with them, and really really wished I could afford one. But I got very suspicious when I heard they could only be leased. My suspicions ran towards "this is just a promo stunt to get GM good PR." Silly me, I never thought it was about obeying the law only until the second the law changed.

If all these car companies that claim they're trying to reduce emissions would actually get behind a fully electric car, maybe they wouldn't sound quite so duplicitous to me. But NO. They've got to have gasoline in there somewhere. Well, thanks but no. Until there's a REAL electric car back out there, I'll buy used cars, thanks. The car companies will get my money when they offer something I can believe in. Until then, ciao!

Yeah, dude. I totally understand that this is a tech column adn you found an interesitng wrinkle to the day's events, but maybe you could have waited a couple of days before crowing over the funny interwebs? Just a thought.

I can't imagine anything less appetizing in a yoga class than being asked to get intimate with other practitioners. As stated in the article, it's diametrically opposed to everything Yoga is about. Ah well, that's America for you - always taking somebody else's great stuff and pissing a big ol' steaming stream into it.

I can't believe the cheek of that kid. *eyeroll*

Yet another reason not to get enslaved to these cute little gewgaws. I'll wait 'til I get home to surf the internet, thanks.

Meanwhile, Edwards keeps calm and embodies the grown-up.

I still can't understand why Salon, which pretends to look down on the MSM, has so eagerly fallen for their Obama-Clinton-only bullshit. You all act like iconoclasts, but you fall right into line at election time.

My vote is still going where it will make a difference.

Has it occured to any of you backing the brat that the phone number also belonged to THE WIFE? It's not as if she was stepping into her husband's work situation here. The kid called HER in the middle of the night just as much as he called her husband. She was woken up as well, you know.

I'd love to see how any of you would react if somebody called YOUR home to harass you about something that happened at your spouse's office. Methinks you'd be bitching quite a different tune then.

"Initiative"? Oh bitch please. Try that initiative on the head of your company the next time you get called in early on a day when you want to sleep late. You'd get canned, and rightly so.

The brat was out of line. He got yelled at. What did he expect, cakes and jam?

BEST. EUPHEMISM. EVER.

Really, I'm making a note of that one.

I find it endlessly amusing that just about every public figure has this bizarre arrogance about their misdeeds. WHEN will they get it through their thick heads that people are GOING to find out? People ALWAYS find out, especially these days. Cellphones, text messaging, computers, internet, more and more cameras everywhere...it doesn't take an idiot to figure out that no matter where you are or what you're doing, SOMEBODY is watching you.

Ah well. It seems ol' George was right - 1984 is here. At least we can be consoled with cases like this, that prove the Orwellian future has the potential to be as funny as it is depressing.
