  • Policing From The Air

    Nothing new here. America loves airplanes. Hell, the whole military might of America revolves around the idea of blowing the be-jesus out of folks that we disagree with from a distance. You don't want to get your hands dirty, but you need to remind folks that you can and will do bad stuff to them if they have the audacity to defy you. I remember reading about how the Japanese killed and ate air crews during the Big Double-U Two. And it really makes you respect the Vietnamese who let folks like McCain live after they had murdered millions of civilians during the Vietnam fandango -- Agent Orange? Napalm? Those 8-mile high B-52's. And then you get Blackhawk down. Yep, they did drag those poor suckers around. Abused the bodies, because those poor chappies had been in those birds that brought destruction from above, and suddenly weren't invincible anymore. I guess that is the consequences of 'policing' without boots actually on the ground.

    Kitt writes: "They™'re dicking the congress. They™'re dicking the MSM. They™ aren't dicking the general populace."

    They aren't? Then why are they still in power??

    They™'ve been dicking everyone since day one. And people bitch & moan about the media, the spineless democrats, the whatever. People like yourself have been saying that since forever. America ain't fair. And it ain't free. And if you think it is, you better turn off the TV, put down your New York Times, and maybe get out more often.

    Sorry for you folks not in the know, but I'd have to say, they™'ve got us by the orbs, and they know it because, as a people, Americans are . . . . pretty well as an orbless set of people as who inhabit the globe.

    We bomb 'em 'cuz we can . . .

    if we couldn't we wouldn't.

    And we don't.

    "Totallyblase...F'k you. What have you done? You out there getting your head smashed in? Breathing in tear gas or something, you self righteous f'k!"

    Talk about having a wild hair up one's arsehole . . "You should should be embarrassed to come on here preaching and acting like if only every body was like you - whatever that is - we'd have it all dicked by now. What a joke to be so self righteous!"

    Amen, brother.

  • Clinton, Clinton, Clinton

    "For someone who was not a "liberal", Bill Clinton sure seems to get a lot of praise from liberals."

    I think that's because he was a fairly good leader, is intelligent, and could speak English. Ah, the good old days.

    I also have a peeve with people who keep dragging the old 'I didn't inhale' quote ou. These folks really don't have don't have anything to say. Not original, at least. It's just the old, "Awk! Well Clinton was even worser, awk. Gimme another cwacker, Rush . . . ".

    These are the same cheesedicks that bring out the old Al Gore 'I-invented-the-internet' chestnut. I mean, really, that "quote" has been disproven a billion times, yet the dittoheads keep bringing it out every time Al is in the news. These folks are either, a), totally out of the loop and they seriously believe it (pretty pathetic to be that far out of the loop -- what are these people watching and/or reading . . . or are they?) or b), they really are that low and mean -- I think the term 'brownshirt' would be appropriate here.

  • Oh Crickey, Anonymoose Is Back

    What was that I was saying about Rush Limbaugh & dittoheads? Awk, Anonymoose, where have I heard this before: "Many fraternity hazings involve dunking the pledges in water. This is in no way comparable to Torquemada as the pledges are perfectly aware there are strict limits on how far one is allowed to go."

    Didn't Limbo talk about this stuff before:

    CALLER: It was like a college fraternity prank that stacked up naked men --

    LIMBAUGH: Exactly. Exactly my point! This is no different than what happens at the Skull and Bones initiation and we're going to ruin people's lives over it and we're going to hamper our military effort, and then we are going to really hammer them because they had a good time. You know, these people are being fired at every day. I'm talking about people having a good time, these people, you ever heard of emotional release? You ever heard of need to blow some steam off?"

    C'mon Anonymoose, get some new stuff already. You can download some from Wingnut-talking-points.com

    Compared to what we got now, Nixon looked good . . .

    that's why certain people like Clinton. And I guess why some folks hate him.

    And believe it or not, there are people out there who would like to see RR's befuddled image on Mt. Rushmore. Strange old world, innit??

  • He's Back & He's P*ssing In The Punchbowl Again

    [Read the article: Hitlers, Hitlers and more Hitlers]

    Why doesn't he just take the hint & disappear? For once & for all? It must suck not to have a soul, to lack a sense of shame and to be such a sad, twisted, self-obsessed little twist of a man. When he iisn't ranting about his importance and insisting he has great things to say, he is nigh near incomprehensible. And BTW Davey, I don't really enjoyed being called a nazi by a sawn-off little putz like you . . . .

  • Sigh . . .

    "totallyblase, who *did* you enjoy being called a nazi by?

    that black dominatrix you hire by the half-hour?

    -- david sugarman"

    Davey, we'll leave your daughter out of this, please . . .
