@Janet Mermaid

Criekee!

Those must be some MONSTER coyotes... I can't imagine a coyote being threatening in any way! And I have MANY coyotes in my area. See them in broad daylight... stealthily running, one by one, across the open space in my field. I have goats, chickens, cats, dogs... the whole rural thing. The ONLY animal that I've EVER lost any stock to is a raccoon or a skunk. And simple procedures like decent coops, and barns, and shutting them in securely for the night solved THAT problem.

So... no... the wild animals are NOT an excuse to start paranoid blazing away at anything that moves. Hell.. I have COUGARS that frequent my place. EVEN THEY don't bother the goats. I feel that it's a huge privilege to live in a rural area where I can routinely spot elk, deer, coyotes, cougars and black bears in their native habitat. It's one of the primary reasons I live out in the country.

I get sick of bozos whose knee jerk reaction is to start slaughtering predators at first sight. It's nuts, frankly.

Original article: Quote of the day

"out of context"? .... HARDLY

Little Mikey Weiner is a completely unhinged bigot and hate monger. And no, you don't have to roll in shit every day for a couple hours to realize that shit stinks. Mikey Weiner is dreck. If you find this "amusing" then I guess that speaks volumes. Some people dig nigger jokes, too, I'm told.

Ok... time for the net..

This woman has now proven that she's insane enough to be involuntarily committed. Does she actually labor a whole week to churn out a batch of turgid hallucinations? It really seems like a slap dash rush to deadline more than anything with any sort of thought behind it. I could only read the first couple of paragraphs before simply giving up. It's unreadable dreck - totally divorced from ANY reality. I mean... comon'... so Obama "bowed" to the Saudi King. Perhaps would be protocol maven Camille would prefer holding hands or kissing, like a recently departed "President of the United States" engaged in with this same potentate....

gack... why anyone wastes time on this crack addled mental case is beyond me. Never again.

Original article: President Obama's bow

oh... I dunno....

Maybe hold hands... or kiss the "King" on the lips?

(see Bush, George W., Saudi King, kiss)

Liberty may not be free, but reliable information on reality IS readily available. May I suggest you avail yourself of it?

Oh comon'

It's easy enough to avoid this if you don't want to read it. I don't watch all the tabloid TV, or read people, but I have to admit to getting a chuckle out of all this venal craving for attention out of the Wasilla briar patch. And hell... all you "stop doing it" pouters are usually the first ones to post yet another "I'm not interested" letter when any of these stories pop up. So, obviously, those complaining the most are also the most avid consumers of this soap opera.

oh my!

Hey Bigguns!.... Plutocrat wannabe that I am, I am in the process of buying the 60K glorified shotgun shack next door to my '63 Fleetwood single wide!

Livin' like a King!

Maybe I get some bowin' and scapin' action goin' now.... ya think?

Religion is politics with a property tax exemption

Religion has been a curse on mankind ever since we fell out of the trees and needed some way to sort out the "us" from the "them". It serves the exact same purpose that "politics" does, and is, in fact, simply another name for the same thing. At its core religion is all about power; who has it, who wants it, and how is it exercised. That some people manage to find moral guidance or "spiritual" succor within the constrictions of any of the various religions is a mere happenstance, and an all too rare and situational happenstance at that.

More people smoke pot...

Anybody

Who claims to "know" anything about Christianity - outside of concrete, verifiable, archaeological facts - is lying. Religion isn't about "knowing"... it's about believing. It's about faith. Faith is the absence of knowledge. J.c. himself said as much - or so say the men who wrote, edited, and are still fighting over the supposed words of J.c.

This is one of the most glaring absurdities of religion in general, and christianity in particular - most obvious in the way that christianity is used as a cudgel in the U.S. The minute that an alleged spiritual discipline, based on belief, or "faith", attempts to prove itself as factual, it's given up any claim to be based on that faith. Thus, we have "creation science" and nonsensical idiocy like that. Trying to "prove" your "god" exists only leads to glaring evidence that he/she/it does NOT exist.

If you want to believe in something, have a ball. But believing in something that requires "faith" instead of facts means that you will NEVER be able to "prove" it and shouldn't even try.

Note to Glenn...

We had an election. "What (you) voted for" LOST....

Is that too complicated for your little bleached out "mind" to absorb?

"ShamWOW guy"

Now! Now! Now!

Vince is GOD.... he's the all time king of crazed pitch men... He's a REAL artist.

Beck pales next to Vince!!!!

And remember... "It's made in Germany and they make good stuff"

(seriously... Vince is funny... Glenn isn't)

Karl Rove?

Attempting to be physically intimidating? Now, THAT'S funny. I can't imagine this cowardly little marshmallow doing anything other than crapping his pants if someone threatened him physically. I'd love to have the personal opportunity to test this theory.

@America First....

Uh.... are you familiar with the term "tea baggin"....

snicker....

Original article: Rove: Biden is a "liar"

@curtis

Aside from the fact that Bush was probably never allowed to be alone with anyone, I think it would be the most reliable assumption that ANY assertion out of Rove's mouth is the exact opposite of the truth.
