Original article: The elephant in the room

Teaching young raptors to ATTACK

I think that we all know the ragged, stale dishrag known at the Democratic Party is going to lose in 2008. It's a virtual certainty.

I wonder how raptors train their young to ATTACK a target..? Most of it must be genetics, but what about the last 5%..? Territorial imperative (am I old or what?)..?

What the Democratic Party must do is to ATTACK AND DESTROY Karl Rove before he can reach into his fucking bag of dirty tricks. Go for the throat. By that I mean the jugular vein. Pull the rug out from under the Republicans.

I most definitely do not mean "debate" or "engage" -- I mean ATTACK AND DESTROY. If you're upset by the sight of blood, leave the room at once. This is going to be messy.

Question their patriotism -- the Nazis were patriotic, weren't they? You bet! Using a very, very sharp razor, we need to slice precisely between the US flag and the mountains of shit who have wrapped themselves in the US flag to achieve their ends.

Now. How do we train a stale dishrag to attack?

You've never spent any time at a stable, have you..?

Mexicans are some of the premier horsemen around. There's a link missing between the agrarial world and the so far short-lived "modern" world in which our skill sets involve clicking mice and sitting in traffic.

Think YOU could handle a horse, buckaroo..? There's a reason Mexican grooms are in high demand. Something is missing from Americans, most of them, anyway, that allow them to handle horses effectively.

What's so funny about a clean house..?

I *like* cleaning. I like a clean house. You get a clean house by cleaning it. When I visit someone's home and I notice that it's cleaner than my home, I'm impressed.

Is there anything funny about a clean home being appealing..? Or appreciating someone who knows how to cook..? These are skills that everyone ought to cultivate.

Original article: The K Chronicles

Was this funny..?

"Dead hippie..?" Was this meant to be a slice of that "Weekend at Bernie's" retarded humor that finds desecration of human remains comical..? It, uh, must be too sophisticated for me.

Try poking fun at AIPAC, Keith.

Original article: Negotiating the peace

The US is on the WRONG SIDE in this conflict.

If "regime change" was reason for Dubya to invade Iraq and depose Hussein (who had done NOTHING), then Israel is just BEGGING for a little "regime change" of its own. They have a nuclear ARSENAL, not power. They ignore UN resolutions.

Roll the tanks in, arrest Olmert, give him a nice kangaroo-court type of tribunal, return the land to the natives, case closed. Good enough for Iraq, it's good enough for Israel, eh..?

Anybody see that JPG of the ambulance with the missile round sent right through its roof, through the red cross..?

Drown her.

Fill the bathtub she used to murder her kids and hold her head under the water. Getting the point now, Andrea..?

No problems with ATMs...

Odd... been using ATMs for quite a long time, now, with NO problems.

How is it that voting machines made by the same company have problems?

Fucking with voting ought to be a treasonable offense, punishable by execution, and I mean on the spot with a pistol. It's safe to assume by this time that all CEOs of the three or four voting machine companies are guilty as sin. Let's kill them just to be on the safe side, eh..?

US-made missile fired through the roof of an ambulance -- through the red cross on its roof.

Original article: Revoltin' Bolton

"Democrats promise a 'bruising fight'"..?

Why do I picture a group of effete Ivy League types in expensive traditional tennis whites after a set sipping weak tea and nibbling cucumber sandwiches with the crusts removed..? A "brusing fight"? Does that mean harsh language..?

I don't see any Democrat so much as raising their voice. How can people live with so much of their vitality drained away..?

Original article: The fallout from Qana

Rockets..?

Can "Hezzbollah" not scare up an old Cessna and pack it with explosives and remote-pilot it to, say, the Wailing Wall..? I mean, what kind of rockets are we talking about, here..?

Oh, wait, wait, that is SO wrong... I had this backwards. "Hezzbollah" is supposed to lay down and DIE while the Master Race expands its territories again with endless US backing..? OK, now it makes sense to me. More arms to Israel! Depleted uranium bombs? Check! Willie Pete? Check, and plenty of it -- let them try and be anti-Semites once we burn off their limbs! Ha! That'll learn 'em!

DAMN! I'm so glad we're the good guys...

Miserable echoes of Argentina and Chile, indeed

When the juntas in those countries tried to legislate away their crimes. The US has tried to absent itself from prosecution for war crimes. Pathetic. But not unexpected.

Original article: Mel on the cross

Mel chose an unusually opportune time to drive drunk

In that the UN observers and 60+ innocents killed on Sunday by Israel have been pushed off the front page. Odd coincidence. Mel must be more important.

Original article: Apocalypse soon

How dumb can people be..?

How many "end of the world" predictions have come and gone over the centuries..? Each and every one leaving their organizers and believers looking even dumber than before.

Did the world end on June 6th, 2006? Of course not. Only a superstitious retard would have expected it to.

Now, are all those religious-nut suit-wearers in Dubya's White House REALLY sold on the notion of "The Bible" and "The Apocalypse"? Because if they are they all ought to be removed from office due to mental instability. Clamp some turbans or headscarves or beanies on their heads and ship them off to Afghanistan or Iran or Israel -- somewhere the heat makes people believe in any fairy tale.

GET THEM OUT OF POSITIONS OF POWER.

Original article: The Lieberman earthquake

Who will (hopefully) mourn for Joe?

PNACers..? AIPAC members..?

You don't have to be a rocket scientist to notice that it's a bit strange for a United States Senator to be so influenced by a foreign country. And when the USA is fighting a war of occupation at the behest of said foreign country, then an incumbent being voted out of office isn't so remarkable.

Original article: The joint and I

"Accept the deal and do time or we'll go after your wife and kid"..??

For selling bongs..? What kind of mean-spirited vendetta was this..??

Original article: "I didn't like sex at all"

Is Western male genital mutilation not equally horrifying..?

Or do you figure that guys just deserve to be mutilated on general priciples..? Martha sounds self-absorbed and whiny... I'm thinking that there's a reason I've never heard of her...
