Reply to What Could Bush Do? in Politics JoeUser Forums

So, basically say, "Screw politics, I'm gonna do what's right for America and its people!" That could well boost his popularity and help his place in history -- as long as "the people" didn't see it as a political trick. He couldn't accomplish much of that on his own, but it would help to see the thoughts expressed and the effort made. Thanks for the resp

By the way, my follow up will be a 1000 page Proust parody about nose picking entitled Remembrance of Boogers Past. Look for it soon.

Reply to Joe User Under Attack! in Current Events JoeUser Forums

I had this story Wednesday night and considered blogging about it, but I couldn't find a way into it. It never occurred to me to frame it as JU being under attack. Another reason I didn't bother was because, while I find their actions distasteful, they are technically allowed to set such a condition of admission. There was a story about a Catholic school banning p

arh yes the incy-wincy/itsy-bitsy spider debate I have no idea who's correct both my husband and I were born in and grew up in Australia and he says itsy-bitsy and I say incy wincy Drats! Foiled again! It would be interesting to know how it was originally written, though. Looks

Sorry to hear you're sick. Why do kids always love shows their parents can't stand? I remember watching Mr. Rogers when my father came in, looked at the screen, and sneered, "I hate that guy!" Incy wincy spider

What Could Bush Do? in Politics JoeUser Forums

Growing voter discontent about Iraq. Harriet Miers. Looming indictments. FEMA's fumbles. The Bush presidency is in free fall. The "political capital" he claimed after last year's election is completely gone. What could Bush do to arrest the decline and turn his second term back around? Is there anything? Or is it totally out of his control? And in the bigger picture, what can any president do to avoid the "

For nominating Miers? Well, that would be interesting.... But why not? What with Dean being god, and all.

Reply to Plastic Bags Best For Spammers in Misc JoeUser Forums

One of my pet peeves is people who post multiple articles at one time. It's rude. It prematurely pushes other people's articles off the sidebar. Attention hogs! People should be limited to one (at most two) articles on the sidebar at a time, then have their posting privileges restricted till the articles scroll. That'd fix 'em. <TABLE cellpadding=8 width="95%" align=center bgColor=#FFF394 class="mb-Body-Quote-Tabl

Susan Sarandon Is Hot! in Entertainment JoeUser Forums

I have a confession... I think Susan Sarandon is hot. I've had a thing for her since Burt Lancaster got caught like a deer in her headlights in Atlantic City. I know it is popular around here to call her ugly and say that no-one but Tim Robbins would want to touch her and the only reason he will is because she is the only one who wi

Stealing someone's serious work... But what about old jokes, even long ones? I'm kind of... displeased... by this characterization. To me jokes are serious work. I write all my own material, and in the rare instance I repeat a joke heard elsewhere, I always acknowledge it by giving credit if I kn

Star Trek: The Kobayashi Maru in Fiction JoeUser Forums

I despise bad writing, but particularly bad writing that makes it into print. Julia Ecklar's novel "Star Trek: The Kobayashi Maru" is such a case. The book is so poorly written I had to read it in fits and starts over a period of a month. It is so forgettable that between readings I had totally forgotten what had come before and had to do considerable

Pillsbury has new commercials featuring their longtime spokescreature Poppin' Fresh, the Pillsbury Doughboy, dancing with their products as popular tunes from the past play. One of the songs is John Paul Young's "Love is in the Air." It sounds like the version from the Strictly Ballroom soundtrack. Great movie, great song. I love both. I'm prone

I'm disappointed that this is a direct cut-and-paste from WWE's official site with no credit to them, or even a link. You've done nothing here but plagiarize their work and add a link to your own site. Tsk. In that case, rescind my thanks. <img src="../images/smiles/grim.gif" border=0 ALIGN="ab

The author has to say "so be it" because if they said "amen" they'd be accused of "pushing God" and violating someone's (nonexistent) "right to freedom FROM religion."
