melthough

I don't know. I doubt it's a script. After all there's some Dominican housecleaner they could give a part time job to..

To the point though, yeah you could be a landlord. I am. It has limited appeal. I think you will see American retirees finally discover the upside of emigrating in large numbers to somewhat less expensive countries. Even with a shit dollar an American can live fairly well as a retiree in some not so bad places.

Hell maybe Raul Castro will die and we can all go there. I was there once, it was ok.

His wife is a fantastically wealthy woman on her own

She owns the largest softdrink bottler in the state.

So anyone who tells you this election

Is Not about liberal white guilt and race....is straight up lying to you .

We are a week maybe two from a Salon article talking about 'thousands' of new parents naming their son (and in a few cases, daughter) Barack. You know it, I know it, everyone knows it.

Salonfraciscans are so obsessed with their own white guilt about race that they will soon abandon any rational perspective on anything but race, in this election.

so let me connect the dots

100k on the cards for someone with several hundred million dollars is no big thing.

So what if he does

What about all the good things terrorists do?

It was like the death of a world leader

President Pope Jesus I of the Galaxy died suddenly yesterday based on the wall to wall to wall to wall coverage. The last person to get this was Reagan.

All I heard was Russert was tough tough tough tough tough tough tough tough tough tough tough tough tough tough tough tough tough tough tough tough tough tough tough tough tough tough tough tough tough tough tough tough tough tough tough tough

Too bad he was a marshmallow once they got elected.

They don't have to 'call' for anything

Bush neutered the court years ago. Since the court has no enforcement power it's clear that the Administration won't worry about their flighty 'opinions'.

Look the NBA isn't completely crooked

It's not some abstract Olympian ideal either. It's more or less legit. Legit enough. Not pro wrestling fake or reality TV fake more like, well, pro sports 'real'. At least they don't have rap stars like Lil Wayne in the NBA, yet.

Original article: Saudi Arabia to the rescue?

Indonesia wants to leace OPEC

Why? They import almost all of their own refined product. Prices are killing them.

Well which one

There's a few we could live without.

Anyone to the right of Gus Hall

Is a traitor.

Good move

It will be entertaining them watch them flounder.

By the way

A careful reading of Japanese law concludes that Japan is NOT actually forbidden from developing an atomic weapon. It is forbidden from developing one that would be fewer than 30 days from a complete functioning device. Also, the JDF has the second largest budget in the world, after the US, about 50 billion dollars a year. Last but not least, Japan has THE most extensive nuclear material reprocessing industry in the world.

So if you see Japan with a deploy-able nuclear force soon don't be too shocked.

Well that's it then

HyperJesus 2.0 and Father Earth together. Together all the brown people and panda bears will co-rule the planet in peace and same sex carbon free harmony.

Tinkerbell is awesome.

Sexual jealousy, revenge, attempted murder, deceit. Now there's a gal I can take home to mom.

HyperJesus needs no Veep

His Obamaness is infinite, immortal and omniscient.

So let's just cancel the election

And coronate the HyperJesus now.

Or like Sweden for that matter

You did notice that that Nordic Fairyland, that perfect socialist paradise in the snow is attempting to enact wiretap laws that would make the Chinese blush, don't you?

the law:

the response:

It will be interesting to see Salon/GG wrap themselves into Mobius strips attempting to defend the actions of well loved open leftist happy hippy socialist Sweden on this.

No the problem is that Umps can be assholes

And when they make a mistake they only make it worse by insisting they're right.

HIV is no different than pinkeye

In that it, and sundry other contagious diseases barred one from entry into the US in the days of Ellis Island.

Original article: In Iraq to stay

Most bases are permanent

Other than Subic Bay and Clark AFB in the Philipines, a few DEW stations in Greenland, some missile bases in Turkey, AFB's in England, and bases in Saudi Arabia, all bases are for the most part permanent. We still have 30,000 troops in South Korea, 40,000 in Japan and upwards of 60,000 in Germany.

Frankly, my dear, ..

Yes yes those fascists, fascists I tell you, in Sweden. Swedish right wing politics is slightly to the left of Bernie Sanders in the US, relatively speaking. You DO know that, yes? It's still a left leaning socialist country, you would agree, yes?

Point being, when everyone is doing it, everyone including the people you hold up and want to emulate, perhaps it's time YOU revisited your own assumptions. It's always "Those Other People" with you isn't it? Except now it seems that "Those Other People" are mostly everyone.

I have a better approach

Go to the airport and immediately adopt a fuck you where you stand I hope you burst into radioactive flames you piece of shit, attitude. Yeah, yeah $4.00 for a water bottle is exactly what I wanted now that those mouth breathing assholes from TSA cupped my balls and stripped me of half of my personal possessions. Yeah that's what I want. And can I have some slurry gum popping in my ear whore hoop earrings with that too? No. Fuck you, and die screaming. Now ring it up. Or isn't there a button with a picture of a muffin on it?

You need to rename this Pinksheet

It's pretty much devolved into a middle aged gay column.

Original article: McCain's new ad goes green

Well there's two ways to go on that

Drill more or drill less. We could I suppose fly our tofu flags simply stop drilling. I'm not sure all your noses are big enough to spite your faces though.

And with The One Great Obama....

Well only be there until he's what, 11 or 12? I guess that's an improvement, of sorts.
