women just shouldn't join an organization devoted to violence.
That might help.
The one he supposedly had this week?
You know, to a girl 30 years younger than he is? (yes, that's right)
He has also posted about his enjoyment of teenage third world prostitutes.
No mystery where he's coming from on this issue.
Keillor must have written this post in the full knowledge that it would be divisive and irritating. Let's not give in to the call to flood the comment sheets with justifiable outrage.
Some people like bikes. Some people like the Impresssionists. A few like both, and a great many like neither. None of this is right or wrong; it's different hobbies and different tastes. I know people who are so passionate about fancy mice shows that you wouldn't believe it. You don't have to agree with it--they enjoy it, and it gives them a community of like-minded people to socialize with. In our area, everything like biker groups is so looked down on that if you don't sit in church you basically have no social life. Sure it's a bland monoculture--is that what Keillor would prefer?
A Degas lover who spouts off about how he hates bikers crossing his path on the way to the museum is going to sound like an elitist prig, and end up reinforcing the image of art patrons as ivory tower stuck-ups who can't be bothered with the common folk.
Mission accomplished for Keillor if that's what he wanted.
Thanks for making even more "uncool" to enjoy museums than it already is, Garrison! Way to go!
The youth of the country will undoubtedly flock to the Smithsonian after hearing such an eloquent post.
Me, I feel like going out and revving up an old Indian and going for a spin now.
He could have been our President.
I'm trying to imagine Carter or Gore or Obama writing something like this to a former colleague. I cannot fathom it.
I think it is unlikely that either Clinton would write something so hostile and petty that might get out in public. Not because they are gracious (see above for that) but because they are too self-aware to intentionally do something that would resonate so negatively.
Kerry wouldn't write such a letter for the same reason.
Bush? Oh hell, yeah. He'd probably include a potty joke. Cheney would write something like that, and include a hint about swimming with the fishes while wearing cement shoes.
The Republicans do not think like leaders, and they have second rate mentalities. That's just all there is to it. No deep analysis necessary. They are very rich, but they are mediocrities. And they know it. Hence their tactics and fascistic bent.
These are the people who want to turn middle class America into a class of serfs to make them richer and richer. Think it over, how much are you willing to forfeit to fight them?
you should go down at least two sizes. As a former 38Der, I sure did. I wear a 36C now and feel that it's about right--I could wear a B1/2 if I bought that brand that does half sizes.
Kids and aging change a lot, but I actually look better now than I did earlier. I think I'm the only woman in the world who's very happy with her breasts.
Too big, too small, too saggy--I've dodged 'em all. Lucky me. But I know women who didn't nurse because they were afraid of ruining their breasts (granted, they are older).
Nurse your kids, ladies. The post nursing droop is not inevitable either--it didn't happen to me.
so much for the much bandied about theory that this was a one-off by a crazed abuser, not much different than something that could plausibly happen in the West.
Hint: In the West when a woman tries to leave her abuser the populance doen't come out into the streets to shoot her dead for it.
It really is the religion, and it really is the culture. So the relativist bulshitters can just shut up already.
nobody takes second place to me in hating Bush's regime, but quit blaming Bush. Saddam's secular veneer was just that, a veneer. Bush didn't mandate that women go back under the burqa. It is the religion and its followers that says this must be so. The minute the religious leaders can grab any sort of power, even that of disorder and chaos, they will start doing this to women. It's at the core of their version of Muslim doctrine. Bush isn't to blame for that.
Bignose and Angelbug--smart.
Badshaw--Dumb.
That is all.
Much of the initial coverage about Fort Hood turned out to be wrong. Is there anything wrong with that?
The accountability imposed by another country for the CIA's kidnapping and torture reveals much about our own.
Fox News' morning show plays to type, talking about whether Muslims in the Army should face "special debriefings"
219 Democrats and one Republican join in favor of the legislation, which passed by a narrow margin
The survivor and author is upset about comparisons some on the right are making to genocide
