Hey 17 y.o. kids are genetically programmed to hump

Why does anyone, parents, religious types, right wingers, anyoe think they can keep kids from wanting sex and having sex?

Fear? Punishment? That just fucks them up, or makes them want to do it more. You can try and keep the kid from humping and you might succeed but why?

Have the stern talk about sex, STDs, being a teen parent, buy him some rubbers, take out some of the mystic, tell him to be smart about it and leave him alone.

How many wingnuts does it take to screw in a lightbulb?

Q: How many wingnuts does it take to screw in a lightbulb?

A: There will be no screwing by any wingnuts unless their name is Craig, Vitter, Sanford, Foley or Ensign.

Okay I have nothing but perhaps the wingnuts should try being human first. That's the core issue here, conservative policies are inhumane, war (2), plundered economy, plundered constitutional rights, laws that let corporate scam artists run amok...and on and on.

If the question was asked of people what kind of policy do Americans support without context to politics, the majority of people's answers would be "liberal" and "moderate" on issues such as job security, regulations of financial institutions, universal health coverage, education and social security.

Fuck the conservatives and wingnuts...and I don't mean screw or sex.

Michael Jackson was a tragic figure

The weirdness of Michael Jackson kept me from liking him. His music was fine but he was a legit sideshow, a sad one at that.

This write-up cut to the core. Fantastic. I can't ever recall any star rising from age 9 like that and never really stopping until he was 40. He was mad, and not fun mad. A tragic figure but from sadness he made art.

Mark Sanford thanks god

MJ was a giant, a flawed, weird, pedophile, giant. The only one happy today is Mark Sanford. MJ's dead takes the heat off Sanford.

Hypocrasy aside, Sanford gets empathy - but does he have the courage to follow his heart?

Mr. Kamiya nailed this one. Sanford deserves empathy for being human despite his hypocritical right wing policy.

The question now is if Sanford has the courage to follow his heart, go to Argentina and pursue the woman. I hope he does.

He'll be happier and will plunder the GOP Christian Right BS family values in the process.

Life is short Governor Sanford, don't waste it on bull shit.

oh the humanity ... slap Sanford around for hypocrisy but leave the letters alone

While I feel sorry for this schlub getting caught with his pant down, so to speak, his family values hypocrisy is fair game and he should be bi-atched slapped silly.

Sure this has sex-pol side show all over it and the email were bound to get out but we don't need the details and I don't want to know. In fact I skipped the email.

I'm going to give Sanford his dignity on the details (because it's human) but kick him in the groin about the family values hypocrisy.

karma's a bitch ain't it

Yet again, another GOP blow-hard, god fearing, family values wingnut gets caught putting "it" where "it" isn't suppose to be.

And the list of forked tongued lying SOB GOP grows.

What I'm really upset about it Gov. Sanford "off shored" the job. If we can raise the flag to "buy American" then surely "fuck Americans" makes as much sense.

I wonder if Sanford's friend gets a visa.

If the average employee dissapears for 4 days w/o notice -- they'd be fired

I think that's the issue here: accountability and no communication. We're not talking a part time job at McDonald's, which by the way if you disappeared without any communication for 4 days, you'd be fired.

Regarding the idea Sanford headed south for sex (gay or straight) I'm fine with that as long as his wife checked off on it.

Original article: God, He's moody

from the photo you'd have to think god is a white guy

Funny how that works given 84% of the world is Asian, African, Indian, Latino and half aren't men. Just saying.

Original article: Jon minus Kate plus eight

She's bitchy and he grew a pair

Frankly if I were in the same situation, I'd do the show to make ends meet. 8 kids bunched together like that, with no room to gain economic traction over time is crazy. You can't even plan on hand me downs.

That said, the show was painful to watch from the get-go, even in tiny doses clicking through. It really had that looking at a car wreck feel.

For whatever reason that woman is BITCHY and belittling. She's a hen-pecker on steroids and a nasty edge. Dude deserves some props for lasting that long but he probably did it for the kids. Ultimately he had too much and he grew a pair. Good for him.

On the down side, no winners here. The show even seems to be an analogy of modern American life...we're doomed...but those kids are probably taken care financially. So it goes.

It's the right diplomatic course

After reading the news reports on Obama's response, I'm more then happy I voted for this man and that he won. He laid out things perfectly while keeping diplomatic sight lines free of polarizing rhetoric and open to change.

The alternative would have been McCain bombing Iran and starting a third war. Imagine that.

p.s. the GOP really should just STFU. They nearly put this country under and they started two wars.

The GOP wants a war with Iran

That's it in a nutshell. The GOP wants a war with Iran because:

1) the GOP & friends make money off war & destruction

2) it's the only way they can get off leadership-wise

3) a war EFs everyone, creates a power vacuum they want to seize

4) it increases the chance Obama could fail

5) that's all they have

6) they're the Party of No and the Party of Nihilism

More blow-by: wing boy never addressed hypocritical behavior at all

That's the jux of the question and issue here; GOP/social conservative/petite fascism give the "do as I tell you not as I do" line and it's complete bullshit.

Democrats/liberals/neo hippies DON'T roll out the personal behavior club unless it's hurting people. As long as it's consenting adults it's not an issue, moral or otherwise.

Wingjob totally evaded the question just like one would expect of a GOP/social conservative/petite fascist. Bunch of fucking hypocrites.
