So who gave you the best book ever? What book was it? Most of us regulars around here like to read and give books as gifts, so I thought I might post a "Book-a-Holics" blog about it. The best book I ever got as a gift came from my sister, the Sugar-High-Elf. We've given each other a lot of books (and gift cards for books) over the years, but a few year
fuck Toby Keith...he's why I don't listen to modern country music but hey, fuck snoop dogg, too why didn't they get Nirvana to play? somebody die? *evil grin* I'll stop here before I start ranting. Cheers.
Uh, why would this upset people on the left, especially those of us who have been against this war from day one? It would be nice to have specifics, but I understand how these things work. Also, given the recent report out of the Pentagon that Iraqi police and security forces were "marginally literate" and had been infiltrated by insurgents -- oh, and my favorite part was when the Pentagon said that the US was serving up Iraqis as "cannon fodder" (th
And pay no attention to Myrr, dear, he's just feeling pissy today because I outed his best friend, dabe. Actually, I had no idea you had done it. Good job, Inspector Clouseau, ask Brandie how long we've all known that.
I will respond to Myrrander trolling me out here the Espionage Act of 1917, look into it, greywar And I'd like to pretend you died, Republicanman, but corpses talking idiocy are still idiots...Here's another five points, whore...you got busted on what you complained about? Every blog you
*smirk* Dude, you did the very thing in this article. You didn't mention that the memo that Rove got his information from was marked confidential. That makes putting her identity out there a crime even if she wasn't "undercover." Just because she wasn't James Bond-ing it out there doesn't mean anything, really. She had a front company set up for use by the CIA and Karl Rove blew that plan to nothing -- putting other agents at risk, too.<BR
Eh, I like video games. I'm really picky about them -- no first person shooters, please -- but I like them. I'm only play games on my PC because every time I think I might want one of the consoles, they make a new one and then I have to buy a bunch of new shit. Screw that. I realize computers get obsolete, too, but even when the day comes when I can't play the new "Knights of the Same Old Republic 9" or whatever I'll still have other programs on it
Tracy, saw this article and thought you might want to read it. It appears that these microwave weapons are coming straight from the Pentagon: Link It included this quote about microwave weapons: "a vehicle-mounted version of the weapon named Sheriff was scheduled for service in Iraq in 2006 and that U.S. Marines and police were both working on portab
Here's my question: why are most of the conservative blogs here on JU just reprints of what Drudge puts on his site? I mean, I check Drudge once every couple of days and sure enough, it's exactly the same things people like Terpfan, Guy, etc. are posting as "articles." You didn't need to include "via Drudge" up at the top there Terp, we already know who ghostwrites your blog. Really, the only thing worse is drmiler's cut and paste blog -- a
Excellently done. I'd add that if you're in a position where you are near kids and you mention using an illicit drug in your home, you will not only get a lot of people flocking to berate you, you will also get many articles written in your honor.
I remember reading about this. It's insane that she was forced to remove the picture. On the other hand, I have a feeling there's more to this than meets the eye. I'm a liberal classroom teacher, but I teach English and I don't really have an opportunity for any sort of "activism" in my classroom. I'm too busy trying to get that whole "subject-verb" agreement thing across.
What did you think about them making her blonde and blue-eyed for Fantastic Four? I like her better as a brunette...but I have a pinup of her from GQ where she is blonde and...well...it's very very pleasant to look at as well. That girl could shave her hair and still make me feel all warm and squirmy.
I got a 150, but Angelina Jolie really DOESN'T do it for me. However, I substituted the name "Jessica Alba" in that question and realized that no, I couldn't get the points (When I look at Jessica Alba, I really begin to wonder if the "intelligent design" people might have a point...) But, I generally do *all* the cooking, I can think of exactly 2 meals my wife has cooked in the past month. But that's by my choice as I am A) a superior cook,
I'd ignore the insensitive bitch, and refuse to own a single iota of guilt over it. I agree with the above statement 100%. You've told me about these loons before. But you're a much kinder person than I am, so I'm sure you'll find a happy medium somewhere.
Myrrander, thank you SO much for focusing completely on the minor (intended-to-be) humorous point of my commentary and completely ignoring the meat of the actual discussion. Now if you're done being on the rag, would you care to return to the topic at hand? I had been under the impression that you would appreciate having your pos
Eh, well I could say that the sun shining is a good thing and Guy would accuse me of being pro-skin cancer. He's blinded by what he thinks I am and not what I actually say. That's fine, he's a narrow minded prat. I don't have every answer, but I do think that there are too many unwanted pregnancies. Part of this is our horrid practice of putting abstinence education over other forms -- that's detrimental. The second part of it is this reli
ehhhhhh I was a little sick to my stomach just seeing the print ads for this one...i was, once upon a time, a decently bit INXS fan (which went away about the time a little band called Nirvana came out) -- but it seems really crass to hold a constest to replace a guy who committed suicide just to sing a bunch of cheesy songs like "New Sensation." I wouldn't have the slightest interest in buying a "new" INXS album at all... and if they ever di
I wonder why they did not also mention Tokyo and Nagasaki? Well, you know, I felt 2 examples were enough to make the point. I could have pulled things from Vietnam, Korea, or any number of wars. Your tactic is amusing though -- I didn't give ENOUGH examples of kids getting killed.
Abstinence should, of course, be part of any sex ed curriculum. However, it is interesting to note that the United States, the country that uses "abstinence only" programs the most also has the highest teen pregnancy rates in the developed world. Who's number two? The UK, the country that uses those abstinence focus programs almost as much as we do. If we give people a number of options to prevent pregnancy -- well, then we don't need abortion near
But as for human rights, regardless of our disgust for these contemptible animals, we ARE better than them. And our actions should certainly show it. Yeah, that was my original point, too, before the grammar nazis descended upon me.
BTW the one quote that didn't have an explanation is a run on sentence due to the misuse of a comma.
You get a B- by the way. That isn't bad in my class.
*double post*
Oh, and fourth, I can't believe that you as an English teacher would use "are" instead of "our". That's just terrible. Golly, yeah, I made a typo. Please, crucify me now so that I might not offend you furthur. Or farther, but that's a rule that's up for some discussion these days. I actua
Ted Your story would be awesome if "God" would actually deign to have that sort of conversation. He doesn't though. Strange. I didn't have a horrid experience with religion. I just kept learning about it until I realized it was bunk. No 'demons' here, especially since demons don't exist. Cheers.
