I'll fly to Bonn Germany and call the Texans snit firanerds.
I'm gonna get Kitt blamed fir reverting to silly baby bable
I'll go now to carve a pumpkin and gibber to a puppy mutt.
I'd hock my wedding band, but someone stole it years ago.
She lives in guesthouse. We get along great. We never talk.
If she walks in my home, I's do become backwoods duffer.
Glenn: "her vapid, content-free telegenic presence."
I couldn’t disagree more with this perception of Sarah Palin. On the contrary, she is simply communicating on a frequency that many of us cannot hear. She is speaking to the Christian right. When she says 'love of Israel' the message is received, loud and clear. Believers in the end times know exactly what she believes, what she stands for and what she would do if she got in office.
And do you remember the Ray Bradbury book Fahrenheit 451?
She is a dangerous trojan horse that we underestimate at our peril.
here is a video and an article that should be seen by all:
Palin's Apocalypse: A Video with Pertinent Questions

If so, imagine the vast majority of the rest of your male friends answering that question.
I have always been of the firm belief that, all other things being equal, if men were the ones who risked pregnancy with every sexual encounter, we would already have foolproof birth control and abortion would be a non-issue.
A woman has the choice to use birth control or even to not engage in sex -- she has a lot of choice before the act that produces children --- and seems to surprise everyone. (need more education on that score)
Sexual violence is not a fantasy concocted by wild-eyed feminists. It just astounds me that someone who can rail coherently about the violence perpetrated against "brown people" is totally oblivious to violence perpetrated using a part of his own anatomy.
"need more education" doesn't even begin to cover it.....
talks about "the media" as if you are not a part of it.
Of course you're not guilty of the idiocy you describe per se, but what purpose does it serve to pretend to be not a part of it, just because at one time you were a lawyer primarily.
Perhaps you do have a full-time practice, and writing this column is a side gig, but to most readers you're another journalist.
You are blameless for the idiocy of ACNE (American Corporate News Establishment) but you can't escape being part of the beast in this role.
Why not be proud rather of being one member of our media, who is clear headed enough to see through the bull the rest of ACNE tries to feed the public as "fair and balanced" reporting?
This way one day perhaps when our media regains some of its "independence" people will have someone inside to help them know if its for real or bogus.
Jeebus, man, you know if guys just never fucked women they didn't really want to reproduce with to impregnate them with kids they refused to *parent*, you know...
Well, that whole abortion thing wouldn't be a problem.
How exactly is it that the guy has no choice about having the kid here? Can you explain the man's "complete non-participation in the decision" part again?
I think that adoption would be a better solution if the god damn government would stay out of it. I know several well-off women who would pay the girls expenses and take very good care of the baby; perhaps even pay her a profit.
Enough of them to take care of every baby that results from every unplanned pregnancy? Really?
Are they getting in line for all the brown babies too?
Have they established a non-profit fund for pre-natal care for all the unplanned pregnancies experienced by women who can't afford it while they wait out the pregnancies they were so irresponsible to get themselves into in the first place?
Legally the boy has no say;
This just takes the cake. Until Roe v Wade, even during the forging of that decision, the only people who had any legal say were MEN.
You need to stop digging.
Oops! Here we go again:
she only has 9 months of "slavery" and then can give baby up for adoption.
Have you ever had to live with a choice like this? Then you truly have no fucking clue what that girl goes through. You really don't no matter how much thought you've put into the subject.
There are HUGE emotional issues involved with pregnancy, and the circumstances surrounding it, that make it impossible for you, or anyone else who has never gone through it, to make simplistic judgments the likes of which you have been indulging here.
I like government to stay completely out of these things and would vote in my state to keep the option open for women who decide to kill the baby.
How big of you. Good to know that 'freedom from government' tops even life on your scale. I suppose we all have to have our priorities though. And you deign to lecture women on what our "options" should be according to your 'moral code'.
As if.
I would let karma dish out the punishment;
Until every man, who is an equal part in the act of conception, fulfills every responsibility implicit in each act of intercourse, it is nothing less than subjugation of women to imply that every woman should carry that burden.
I couldn’t disagree more with this perception of Sarah Palin. On the contrary, she is simply communicating on a frequency that many of us cannot hear. She is speaking to the Christian right.

I tend to agree with you and I think there is a lot of material here that needs to be dealt with. Someone who all her life has been so embedded in the end time Christian fundamentalist ideology, as Palin, and has not made a clear public break with it, should never be allowed into such a high political position. Someone has got to press her into voicing her religious ideology.
Thanks for the link, that is a very good video. I hope GG will look at it as well.
Much of the initial coverage about Fort Hood turned out to be wrong. Is there anything wrong with that?
The accountability imposed by another country for the CIA's kidnapping and torture reveals much about our own.
