Man has the GOP and right wingnuts fallen this fall? Apparently so. One can only hope they continue down the path of crackpotdom and boobitude.

Next up, the GOP discuss how radiation caused Newt Gringrich to turn Catholic!

Seriously knock off the 6-pack or bong hit faux cult analysis.

Yes I'd like to see more movement towards progressive values but at least we're moving forward rather then backwards.

My attitude is the Obama administration has to right the ship (the economy) before it can dig it. Until then I'm going hang loose because I remember the 8 years of the W Bush admin very well.

On the side, all those special envoys were Democrats. Doesn't that tell you something? Instead of starting a war, you go talk to people. Like duh. Another nail in the coffin of the GOP, esp. given Lindsey Graham's BS.

For the amount of mail the USPS delivers it's an amazing operation and in fact a cornerstone to the development of the U.S. economy when it was started. It still is today.

Regarding the DMV -- I renew my auto registration in 2 minutes online and receive the tags a few days later. If I could get that kind of service from my very big and privately run HMO (Blue Cross) I'd be VERY, VERY happy.

The fact of the matter is billing and administration is arcane and terrible. They're constantly making mistakes and wasting my time having to fix the mistakes.

Furthermore my Dad goes to the VA and while it's not perfect, for regular health maintenance it's very good. Once you figure out the system it works and best, there's no billing errors.

I get the inference of over-analyzing things into sociological wonders that they're not. Still, at a certain point you have to act like a grown up and take things on face value.

Children or not, women are in all likelihood drinking more and thus drinking and driving more. The causes seem pretty apparent; better career opportunities and advancement but with that comes networking, the drink after work, work/life pressure, i.e., some of the things that push men to drink more.

I'm not saying this is conclusive by any means but a little honestly is a good thing.

So the premise sounds off, sorta like if Judd Apatow did a series with a Penthouse letters twist without irony. Any way, glad I don't have HBO.

And about the big dick thing, it's like a nice car, it can play cool the first couple times but after that few care, some complain and it becomes a reason just like a headache. Also if that's the only reason she's seeing you it's trouble...but that never happens.

Maybe it's a sister or twin thing but man, 55 and you're still acting like kids? Gee whiz, you're wasting your time, move on and enjoy the rest of the time you have.

I'm in 40s and I figured out just after 40 all that family stuff just isn't worth it. If you have a weird sibling you have to distance yourself. I have a weird sibling which I'm bound to in a real financial manner and this sibling by others accounts is a little slow and self-centered...and I don't get along with the sibling.

The only thing I could do is distance myself yet stay engaged and decide how I'm going to deal with this sibling -- I'm not wasting time, emotion or energy, I'm going to be polite, act like a grown up and all business is 50/50. I believe I'm going to live longer this way.

Okay maybe it was a adolescent pole but there was no dancing, licking, sliding or humping. Geez nothing like over reacting.

Really there aren't any hippies in SF. You can fine one or two in Berkeley and a bunch in Santa Cruz but sadly none in SF. It's a sad place.

Betzee got to part of it but I'll just continue the thought.

Those aren't hippies in GG Park and the Haight today. Those are homeless kids, people with psychiatric needs, drug addicts, misfits and fringe dwellers...all in hippie bling.

There's absolutely nothing wrong about this and SF (and hippies) have always accepted these people but they aren't hippie. That spirit is gone. It left a long time ago. Now there's just a lot of sadness.

Yes the dirt and scruffy part can be confusing but there really aren't any hippies left in SF. There is the "boho bourgeois", the merchants of hippiedom but they aren't hippies but they will sell you all the paraphernalia and lifestyle.

SF will continue to accept just about everyone but lets not fool anyone that these people are hippies and it's 1966 all over again.
