How the Iraqi people who have access to the American media and the internet are reacting to this.
Maybe along the lines of.....30 dead? That's nothing. We're averaging double or triple that per day since you guys liberated us.
30 American corpses generate more discussion, outrage, sympathy, and anger around here than all the collateral damage combined that we dish out overseas.
Is mostly for the fans. And the fans, mostly, are incurable nerds who have had very little, if any, accomplishment in their lives. Yet they go through life with Walter Mitty perched on their shoulder whispering sweet fantasies in their ears. Wannabe athletes. Wannabe coaches.
So they pick their favorite team and they root or bitch depending on circumstances, and when the team accomplishes that means they accomplish. And they can forget that they are incurable nerds for at least a little while.
Listening to the nearby tables of beer-guzzlers trying to prove they are sports strategy know-it-alls, trying to defeat or outdo the other dimwits in loud open-air debate, and I don't know what I would have done if I had a couple semi-automatic pistols in hand.
You're just jealous.
I can't stop laughing.
Of course the worst part are the announcers, who always have to toss out the obligatory comments about the "knowledgeable fans."
Yeah right. Win-Cheer-Happy, Lose-Boo-Bitch.
A chimpanzee is superior.
With the gun control debate.
I'm as liberal as they come, but on this one we are whipped. There's 300 million people in America and probably more guns. In fact, there's American guns splashed all over the planet.
We lost this one guys. The rednecks won big. It's over. Too late.
I thought North Korea was the axis of evil.
Would prefer a play-off matchup with Golden State and let someone else get the Clippers, and he can do something to make that more likely, he would be in dereliction of duty if he didn't do it.
Was the rappers fault.
How many Iraqi children equal one American college student?
For the appropriate moment in 2009. I will then declare.....
George Bush and his daughters have 48 hours to leave D.C.
Put a baseball cap on her backward, and she'd look just like that dude.
Give Coulter a marine-cut and there'd be a resemblance to McVeigh.
From now on when I discuss Michelle Malkin, I shall refer to her as Cho Seung-Malkin.
Is full of shit. Can you just picture if she had been giving a guest lecture at Virginia Tech and the gunman came blasting away in to the audotorium. I'm just SO sure Cho Seung-Malkin would have charged him like a KILL-BILL character and kung fooed him to the ground.
Yeah right. She would have been flying in the other direction, and if anyone else fell down in front of her escape, she may have injured their eye with her high heels as she trampled over them.
Cho Seung-Malkin may know the five point palm exploding heart technique.
Attach the audio to a polygraph machine? And we'll all watch it short out and explode.
Malkin won't think I'm singling her out or picking on her, from this point forward I will call also Coulter Timothy Coulter.
Are way overplaying the "evil" card, as usual. Just think, if someone had just given that guy an exorcism a while back he'd be fine.
WINGNUTS WINGNUTS WINGNUTS WINGNUTS WINGNUTS
If the West Champion doesn't win the Finals, I'll leave the country.
Barely missed a perfect game with the one walk. Bunk. A perfect game is 27 strikeouts on 81 pitches without a foul ball.
Dallas and Miami, that's going to be an ass kicking for the ages.
O'Reilly and Geraldo are classics on this Virginia Tech thing. O'Reilly is just a boiling pot of rage like sustained and over-heated anger is going to accomplish anything....And then Geraldo concludes a segment with Bill as follows--This is serious stuff Bill. We have to put our game faces on and stop these guys.
What?
I'm just picky about "perfect."
If they play the games outdoors and it rains like hell the whole way, the West may not blow the East out.
Are based on good weather.
Is Glenn Beck. His analysis is so pompous and melodramatic I had to change channels last night.
His big conclusion was if 6 months from now none of us can remember this guys name then we have defeated him.
You could take a poll across the country today asking what that guy's name is, answer on the spot without going to the net or the newspaper, and probably 95 percent or higher would not know the name. They'd say Ho Choo Chi, or Ho Chi Minh or something.
We just need to flip a coin to assign blame to the terrorists or the rappers.
His suite mate said he was in the common area watching Pro Wrestling a lot.
There have been several episodes of Hume kissing Krauthammer's butt because he will write something and fairly shortly thereafter the Bush administration will seem to be following the advice.
The FOX All-Stars----LMAO.
Krauthammer. That name so beautifully defines his political concepts.
An Administration filling slots with Pat Robertson and Jerry Falwell graduates, and not only that, but tuning in to Fred Barnes, Brit Hume, and Charles Krauthammer for talking points and policy.
All these guys are chickenhawks. If Krauthammer got his handicap from service I'll stand corrected.
The theory of intentional hypocrisy on the part of the right wing is one that I have found myself considering. It's so pronounced and belligerent it can't be accidental.
That's the game. Spouting off non-stop and doing exactly what they condemn. And then watch rational people get frustrated by it.
Is the universal conservative outrage at democratic subpoena power and investigations. After the performance the GOP congress put on with Clinton.
Hannity was talking about Whitewater the other night for God's sake.
About irrational "Bush-haters."
Were they in a Rip Van Winkel sleep during the Clinton years or what?
