Don't Try And Supress

Inner nerd tendencies. That's going to lead to inner turmoil and possibly minor schizophrenia. Let it out proudly, like swilldog.

It's Like The Supreme Court Justice On Obscenity

I can't give you a technical definition, but I know it when I see it.

Nerds Anonymous

Hi. My name is (whatever). I can't do any of this stuff I watch all the time and talk about all the time and spend all this money on, and I know less than nothing despite putting on the appearance of knowing everything.

I Myself

Had to give it up. I was on a business league recreational hoops team. I was a scrub and rightfully so. But they wouldn't even let me have an ash tray on the bench. Part of indoor smoking ban.

I Got in at the end of one game.

Up 10 with less than a minute. Somebody threw it to me and I started dribbling around. One of the defensive guys came up and reached in and it became one of those tug of wars. I pulled it loose and lost my balance. The ref called a foul on the guy. He said "How about traveling." The ref said "How about a technical?" (refs in those leagues are insufferable pricks and there's about 6 technicals per game). I had 4 shots. The bonus plus they let me shoot the techs. Made all 4.

I'll have to write some conciliatory epistles towards Obama for a while. Get some eyes looking somewhere else.

How About

A 5 grand donation to be able to type whatever we want.

Obama Is No Different

Despite the nearly hysterical protests of his supporters..........Last night they were playing the video of him guaranteeing Illinois to finish his senate term. Same bullshit as everyone else.

Thursday, February 28, 2008 05:59 AM

The Difference Is

Farrakhan has about 75 or 80 percent name recognition in America and Hagee about one.

Thursday, February 28, 2008 06:10 AM

Well, get a phone book and call people at random

See what you get.

Thursday, February 28, 2008 06:13 AM

It's The Medias Fault Anyhow

They create the hobgoblin Farrakhan, then it's a legitimate issue to be asked about.

Thursday, February 28, 2008 06:18 AM

Anyhow

Were all the people that died in Katrina gay? If not, why were the straights killed? I guess for not killing the gays when they had their parade.

Of Course There Is No Doubt

That a black minister who says stupid stuff will be given special serious consideration (particularly with a black candidate running with a real shot at winning). Much more so than white ministers who say stupid stuff. After a while they are just chalked up in the humor category more often than not.

Thursday, February 28, 2008 06:48 AM

I Wasn't Disagreeing

The media has always given special seriousness to Farrakhan rants. Then it turns out there is some itsy bitsy, teeny-weeny, horse manure link between him and the black candidate it's "MY GOD" and so the stern face and stern questions at the debate.

Thursday, February 28, 2008 06:51 AM

When Over The Years

The link between these white pulpit clowns and white GOP candidates has been much stronger.

Thursday, February 28, 2008 07:17 AM

Names Like Robertson Or The Late Falwell

Have the same recognition as Farrakhan but like I said, long ago they just became kind of a joke. Not sinister. No matter what they said or did.

Thursday, February 28, 2008 07:58 AM

I'm A Little Hesitant

Well more than a little, about games being closer than the score indicated or not as close as the score indicted. Usually what happens at the very end of the game is offered up as evidence. One team hits a 3 at the buzzer. The other team may have had some dude who hasn't shot a 3 all year fire one in as the shot clock expires out of desperation midway through the first quarter. Or other such examples from earlier in the game.

I'd Like To Think

That to scale the ladder to be a Presidential nominee or a President, for either party, you'd have to be intelligent enough to privately look at the religious figures and groups in the campaign with a suspicious, dubious eye. I'd like to think even Dubya is that smart.

Thursday, February 28, 2008 08:40 AM

In That Game

Where Reggie Miller and the Pacers scored 8 points in 15 seconds or whatever against the Knicks to tie and then win in overtime, if they just got 5 or 6 was it not as close as the score indicated? But they ended up barely winning so it must have been as close as the score indicated, much closer than the score indicated when they were down 8. So one or two shots going in can determine if it was as close as the score indicated.

C'mon Guys Get On The Ball

This is where somebody is supposed to say I can't define nerd but I know it when I see it.

Obama

Needs to reject Snoop Dog and O.J. Simpson for damn sure.

Thursday, February 28, 2008 09:04 AM

Last Night

O'Reilly's extended lead segment was the Farrakhan-Obama thing..........And his take was that it's overblown and not important.

Thursday, February 28, 2008 09:08 AM

Jebbie

Read mine. I said the media creates the Farrakhan bogeyman, then it's a "legitimate issue" for debate.

Thursday, February 28, 2008 09:32 AM

Jebbie

You need to go back to the very start. You misinterpreted my initial post as me disagreeing.

I Suspect

Mardi Gras has a strong gay component.

Thursday, February 28, 2008 10:06 AM

I Doubt Jesus

Would condone the zebras fucking analogy.

Thursday, February 28, 2008 10:10 AM

Not To Mention

That for every one gay person at the "small but wildy enthusiastic" one-time-slot gay parade, there's probably 2 or 3 more over the entire festival.

Thursday, February 28, 2008 10:33 AM

Hey Wait A Minute

Farrakhan doesn't wear a flag lapel pin and neither does Obama.

Thursday, February 28, 2008 11:11 AM

Enough Is Enough

Glenn needs to post and state whether he denounces, rejects, or embraces Farrakhan. Or denounces and rejects.

Where Does Obama Stand

On Buckwheat of the Little Rascals. Can he admit that Spanky was The Man.

In the war on drugs we need to forget about the bill of rights and the constitution.
