I wouldn't be encouraging conservatives to spend more time in bathroom stalls. They have rather wide stances, after all, and it can sometimes lead to "misunderstandings."

*sigh*

Does anyone honestly give a shit about Ann Coulter?

Isn't that Chris Evert? It certainly isn't Ann "Mr. Ed" Coulter.
Anyways, GW, by her own admission, doesn't have a brain and he is still, and always has been a Republican. Her logic escapes me, as usual. The day she starts making sense to me, is the day I decide to become a Pez Headite and move to West Hollywood.

i hate bush, but that comment really really is out of line.

and possibly offensive to anyone who is mentally challenged.

Does anyone else think that its about time Ann Coulter was engulfed in flames?

Here I go, diving in…will someone promise to catch me?

What is CONGRESS'S approval rating? And who is the majority party in there right now? The whole fucking government (all three branches in my opinion) needs a massive overhaul. There are idiots and geniuses on both sides.

Oh, this shemale nazi is still flapping her gums? It's amazing people find her hot. She looks like any random used up hag.

Not the good kind of hag either. The kind that eats Bill Oreily's poop.

There goes my omlete. Thanks, juju.

Two sides of the same piece of shit, if you ask me. I think we can have Leo dispose of it and then kiss his girlfriend…with tongue.

man juju, i haven't even had my coffee yet, it's to early for o'riley poop talk. lol

Oh, I was basically agreeing with you ET.

I'm so happy I'm Canadian

sometimes i think ann coulter is the britney spears of conservatives–she says and does things just to get a rise out of people and make them listen to her…except britney's high/drunk all the time and ann coulter is the devil.

If something terrible happened to the Ann-tichrist I'd probably jump up & down with glee & then throw a party. And I don't care if that is mean. I hate her.

I'm happy to pretend I'm Canadian

I'm not embarrassed to be an American. I love my country, even though it seems to be considered a bad thing to feel nowadays. You can still love your country and not be 100% happy with who is in charge. That's part of why I think our country is special. So, while I'm happy for your being happy to be a Canadian, I am also happy to be an American.

There's never a good time for O'rielly poop talk. You just have to throw it out there and see what sticks.

Where's my mother f'in iced tea?

I'm a conservative Repub and I have NEVER, NEVER, NEVER liked this woman. She and Bill O'Reilly can take a leap off a very high cliff together for all I care.

im with you, evil. Im not happy at all with who is in charge, but im happy to be an US citizen.

I do, howvever, also believe that no matter how upset you are with your leader, there is a certain minimal level of respect that should be shown, and this comment does not even come close. I hate bush and what he has done with his 8 years but the way to solve it is not to be so disrespectful, its to vote.

But I really like John Stewarts, Bush, schtick. I also vote.

Exactly how I feel, April. The office of the President is disrespected on probably an hourly basis. Say what you will about the man personally, but for the love of God, show some respect for the position he is in. I wouldn't want to trade places with him and be burdened with making the decisions he may know are going to be unpopular, but are in the country's best interest.

I just don't like all of the vitriol on both sides of the spectrum. I don't and won't "hate" someone because they're a liberal or a conservative. I can't get with that.

Don't get me wrong, my "I'm happy to pretend I'm Canadian" thing was a joke (mostly, because I was born in Maine and I can't tell you how many people I've met in the US think thats part of Canada…it's probably because alot of U.S.American's don't have maps..like in Iraq…or South Africa)

I don't agree with most of the things Bush has done in his presidency, but I agree with April that there is a minimal level of respect that should be shown. I lost respect for the people that voted for him after his first four years and thought that giving him 4 more years to fuck up the country was a good idea. I don't consider myself a Dem or a Rep. but either way I knew that voting for G.W was a poor choice.

You mean, The Iraq's.

exactly.

I don't hate her for her political beliefs. I hate her because she is mean-spirited, hateful, and horrendously disrecpectful. As evidenced by her quote above.

Such as,

guys, i do believe it was die-raqs.

i agree with the respect thing. being respectful is almost a way of sticking it to people like ann coulter.

Yes, but I still think she needs a makeover by Patrick Swayzee and Wesley Snipes.

And Al Franken, I'm sorry, that douche is the male, lefty version of her. He GRATES.

yeah, she really could use some tips on covering that adam's apple

For some reason, this whole post has popped a little ditty into my head. You might recognize it from a well known movie, called Grease 2:

*AHEM*
Yeah, let's do it for our country, the red, white, and the blue.
It's Uncle Sam who's asking, so your mother will approve.
Tomorrow I'll be fighting, and I'll win this war for you.
Let's do it for our country, our country wants us to.
*BOWS*

It's the douche trifecta.

Al Franken

Ann coulter Bill O'reilly

The triangle of douche

Can we make that into some kind of Venn diagram?

oooh i love grease 2. every time i bowl i get we're gonna score tonight stuck in my head.

But now I have this one stuck in my head:

Reproduction (reproduction)

and also:

We're gonna scccoooorrreee tonight,
We're gonna scccoooorrreee toniii-hite.

I think talking assholes like Al & Ann get paid per people they piss off or obnoxious comment or something

I made a really cute triangle with all 3 of those names. It just did not show up like that in my reply.

Ann Coulter
Al Franken Bill O'reilly

Test

Kinda like Paris Hilton

Nope, not going to happen. The ass'ings translated better.

Bodhi, they do, and well.

Wordpress eliminates extra spaces. I found that out a while back. It's ok, juju, I'm sure your triangle of douche was very, very pretty.

how do I score a sweet gig like that? Oh wait, I kind of like my soul…

Bodhi, I think Lou Pearlman might be able to help you out. Of course, his help comes with …*ahem*… a price.

It was. I gave it a brazilian and everyting.

Was it on all fours on the table in front of you, a'la Tyra?

Of course. That's how you keep it classy. Heyyyyyyy, guess what tonight is?

My two cents about Ann: she is one of those people who confuses vitriol with wit. More than her political beliefs, I hate her because she thinks she is funny. And it makes me embarassed for her.

To offer some balance, can I just say that John Edwards makes me embarrassed for him? Since we're getting all political up in here today.

ANTM!!! Me-ow!

Any bets on who goes home tonight? Is it the makeover episode?

I'm embarrased for his hair. He's the, Breck Girl.

Let's all hope Miss J did something else with his hurr tonight.

Darn it… I came in here all fired up about Coulter then I started reading. Now all I can think of is "He's a cooooool rider. A coooool rider."

Please don't distract me from my anger with show tunes!

She's being ironic.

She believes people who are not smart cannot get MBA's from Harvard, etc. etc.

She worships George Bush.

Duh! GW did not get into Harvard based on academics! I can't see him writing a passing term paper unless he had "help" (based on the way he speaks).

Hmm… But when people stop paying attention to her, then Ms. Coulter might really slam GW to get her name printed again.

After that, she's done. So I won't expect that soon.

I think it IS the makeover episode. I cannot wait to see who cries! Does anyone else heart the recap over at fourfour?

gosh. if she feels this way about the POTUS, what adjectives do you suppose she reserves for those who 1. voted for him and 2. have vociferously supported him for years? like, say … her own self?

im wicked confused is she being ironic or not? she is either being ironic by calling GW a retard and then pointing out his accomlishments OR not being ironic citing stupid people getting M.B.A.s from Harvard.

you lost me.

So, the "model show" as we call it at my house…I think Ebony will bawl her ass off because TyTy is going to give her that Mia Farrow cut that she gives to the girls she hates.

Has anyone seen the promos for the Ben Stein show on VH1 "The World's Most Smartest Supermodel" or something of the like? I nearly peed in my pants when Ben Stein asks the models to name things that smelled bad and they have to walk the runway all fierce while naming those things. One of the male models says, "Dirty penis." And Ben Stein and his co-host just stop dead and look at each other like, "What the fuck?" The model walks backstage and tells the others waiting, "Don't say 'dirty penis.'"

April: She is being sarcastic (note the use of "evidentally") while simultaneously accusing democrats of calling W retarded. (Mainstreaming is the goal of special ed. - to have the mentally challenged be able to function within society on an independant level)

also - just like to say the harvard business school application? you shoudl get a degree just for filling the damn thing out.

7 essays
3 professional references (each reference has certian questions to answer that should take from 2-3 hours)

no no i understand all that but thanks lisa ;-) - i get what she is saying, my comment was to ian campbell HE lost me.

There is no way that you dummies think Mann Coulter really said that to mean what you claim it means. No way.

No one, not even Bush, is that stupid.

It's blatantly obvious that she was mocking people who call the President a retard. She's an idiot to be sure, but she'd never insult a Republican President unless she wasn't selling books anymore.

It's called context. Look it up. You left out the entire first part of the quote and turned this into a bold-faced lie…thereby giving Mann Coulter reason to point and laugh at her critics. Great job, dummies.

and actually i misread ian's comment, so now ian. you didnt lose me

"She believes people who are not smart cannot get MBA’s from Harvard, etc. etc."

I read as "She believes people who are not smart can get MBA’s from Harvard, etc. etc."

I did not see Ben Steins show but since it's on VH-1. I'm sure it's in heavy rotation and I have to watch just for that scene.

Ann Coulter is the kind of bitch who tells a stupid ass joke and if you don't find it funny, your the idiot. It couldn't possibly be becuase she's as funny as the plague.

You know what I hate: when people tell me to look it up. You look it the fuck up - it is your damned point! It is called support for your argument. I mean since when did, "you look up support for my argument because I am a lazy ass," become an insult? If anything it shows how mentally flaccid the speaker is.

Also, suck my dick.

Thanks Malren. I needed a 4th since I'm over the douche triangle and wanted to make it a square.

Mentally flaccid, I like that.

I also think "dummies" is probably the meanest thing someone has called me all day

And suck MY dick too. If you have to say, "dummies" twice in one post, I would say to you, "Good morning, pot, have you met the kettle?"

Malren, I think all those things were said somewhere along this thread. Lots of people have said they understood she was being sarcastic.

Don't make me send the strawberry brigade after you! They're peacemakers, people! Not fighters!

wait malren if we are "dummies" then don't you think just maybe there is a "way that [us] dummies think Mann Coulter really said that to mean what you claim it means." Isnt that the point of being a "dummy"

i'm confused by your comment.

are you calling Cord "dummies" becuase thats a plural word but the commentors certainly have no control over leaving out the first part of quote - only the author has that control. "You left out the entire first part of the quote and turned this into a bold-faced lie…thereby giving Mann Coulter reason to point and laugh at her critics. Great job, dummies." But that quote either implies you think cord is a dummies or you think every commentor here has teh power to decide which part of the quote should be shown.. in that case, why didn't yuo fix the bold face lie? Speaking of which wonderful thing about free speech you can take whatever you want out of context.

I don't think the definition of context was ever a question. I think that "You left out the entire first part of the quote and turned this into a bold-faced lie…thereby giving Mann Coulter reason to point and laugh at her critics. Great job, dummies." is probably jsut your hostile way of pointing out that the quote is out of context but thats a littel uncalled for.

I just think Mallrat needs a hug. Maybe someone has been playing d&d too long?

I think a Level 30 Earth Mage just pwned her troll.

*You left out the entire first part of the quote and turned this into a bold-faced lie…thereby giving Mann Coulter reason to point and laugh at her critics. Great job, dummies.

should be *It’s called context. Look it up.

and lisa - dead on, i hate that too it really grinds my gears..

Her "humour," much like her "logic" is lost on me.

juju, have I told you lately that I love you? Because I do, 4-ever, true love always.

Her wisdom is lost on the masses.

Whatever, Evil. You always say that and then you just leave me with the dirty sheets. I see how you are.

Somebody's got to do the laundry, baby. I'll make you a special dinner tonight, k?

i never thought i'd agree with the trannie coulter but she is dead on here. all kidding aside, do y'all really think bush has all his mental faculties together? everyone agrees he's not bright so it's not a terribly long leap to "he might be mentally challenged". i hope he is then he'd have an excuse as to why he was so easily led around the nose by the neocons like cheney and wolfowitz.

y'all thought all i knew was lindsay and britney, didn't ya?

Janice: Maybe it was with a lighteningbolt?

i think malren has a wittle cwush. too bad ann coulter is…the devil.

Dead on huh? You must not have a retarded relative, James. It's an insult no matter how you look at it.

I'm more conservative than liberal (in some respects) and I can't stand this woman. It's embarrassing.

Bwa ha ha ha! Very probable. Those look deadly.

I do think it seems obvious he has trouble answering questions off the cuff. Or when he hasn't properly studied his speech.

My favorite, "Bushisim"

"There's an old saying in Tennessee — I know it's in Texas, probably in Tennessee — that says, fool me once, shame on — shame on you. Fool me — you can't get fooled again." —President George W. Bush, Nashville, Tenn., Sept. 17, 2002

Cue "Won't Get Fooled Again" by the Who.

Is it, CSI, time? Hold the Horatio.

Man, was it last week when Bush said Nelson Mandela was dead? I was so embarassed. Reading it, I think he was trying to fumble a "where are all the idealistic leaders? They are dead because Saddam killed them all." Still. Shudder,

Well, call me a dummy all you want. My brain is simply "wired" differently from Mr. Ed's, and I'm sure she would "get" me about as much as I "get" her. Does that make her a dummy? Suck on that, malren. And I bet you didn't get it…

Oh, lisa1. I'm going to pee myself. That is up there on my top 10. I may even need to change it to 1. My husband and I just looked at each other and laughed.

I didn't even get the memo he died. You would have thought such an inspiring figure would have gotten some kind of mention after passing away.

my favorite bushism juju because it about says it all about our iraqi adventure…"I'm honored to shake the hand of a brave Iraqi citizen who had his hand cut off by Saddam Hussein." slate magazine has a bunch of them, as does all of the internet. another favorite…"The illiteracy level of our children are appalling." i can understand where those of you with mentally challenged people in your family are appalled by that kind of name calling but there is something wrong with this guy. he has well-paid, highly-intelligent writers for this stuff and he still screws it up. he's a fucking moron!

i don't think he got the memo either.

I actually think he does better when he's not speaking from a prepared speech. He's much more natural. The "isms" seem to happen when he is trying to stick to a script. My favorite is him saying that gynecologists just want to practice their "love" on women.

She's being sarcastic, obvi. Damn, people are some stupid m-effers. I mean, I'm a lib, but DAMN. Sarcasm, idges.

I have a brother who is learning disabled. I'm not offended by anyone referencing Bush as retarded… but I AM offended with anyone lumping Dubya in the same group with my brother. My big bro is a far better person that Bush (or Coulter) could ever be.

And it scares the hell out of me that the man with his finger on the button can't pronounce 'nuclear.'

yes! i love that one evil. i know you lean somewhat to the right evil, but you guys are the ones who should hate him more than anyone else because of all he's done to discredit conservatives, especially the neocons.

Ugh, I sure hope not. My first gyno looked like Santa Claus. I had to get a new one becuase I was pregnant and I couldn't determine if he thought I was naughty or a whore.

Or a naughty whore?

"And truth of the matter is, a lot of reports in Washington are never read by anybody. To show you how important this one is, I read it, and our guest read it." thats my fav.

did bill o'riely start a trend? m-effers?

I go both ways, james. :)

M-Fer, where's my Tom-ba ™?

Not all conservatives vote GOP come election time…there are other options, like BALE! :-)

IMO George is an embarrassment but we're kinda stuck with him for another year so what are ya gonna do? Either way the next election is gonna be really interesting any way you look at it!

Evil- I love you…!

And I love you. Libertarian bitches unite!

"My name is BALE, and I approved this midget"

amen, sugar magnolia. i think that the man in charge of deploying the weapons of mass destruction should be able to properly identify what they are.

"My name is Reynolds and if you looked like me you'd be playing with yourself all day too."

ok while we are on the topic d(em v. gop) has anyone seen romney's commercial?

ANN COULTER SHOULD BE SHOT!

Ann Coulter should be shot, really? For SAYING something? Harsh, much, dearie?

No, April, do tell.

always curious about you libertarian bitches…you do know that going back to the kind of government (which is no federal government) that we had under the founding fathers is impossible in a modern world? do you guys really wanna live in a society with no safety nets for old people, or the infirm or a society where corporations can sell or do anything they want with no federal government able to regulate their behavior or output (how about the chinese toy recall multiplied by, i dunno, every product sold!) you want a federal government unable to tell corporations that they can't lower their wages to $.50 an hour and hire 10 yr olds, as it was pre-1932? i could go on and on…i thank god for FDR and the new deal and how it made this country more civil and orderly.

i can's be smarts when i wants!!!!

and oh…if bale was running as the Gay Ol' Party's nominee, i'd vote republican for the first time. of course, being in massachusetts, i'd probably be shot but it might be worth it.

its about how republicans have to stop acting like democrats (and then RIPS democrats apart) and all republicans keep acting like democrats so vote for a republican that will act like a republican.

from personal experience i hate that lying son of a bitch BUT that commercial sent me over the edge. Clearly he doesnt give a crap about moderate democrats that just might vote consiervative becuase the dont like Clinton, or Obama, or whoever. It was just so offensive. I hate when candidates lump everyone into dem or gop and then proceed to firebomb an entire party of people.

Don't like Romney (duh) but I think he's kind of hot…is that crazy?

yes. shame.

Yes, yes, and yes to all above James. Can we please get back to task at hand, what is Britney doing with her life?

Not all Libertarians are anarchist libertarians. Minarchist libertarians consider government necessary for the sole purpose of protecting the rights of the people. This includes protecting people and their property from the criminal acts of others, as well as providing for national defense.

Yes, james. Yes, I do. I am a strict constructionist for the most part. I do not believe the Constitution is a floating document and we can just add liberties to it that not expressly given. I also believe that families and communities should care for their own, if you think the federal government is up to the task, please see exhibit A, Hurricane Katrina. I will depend on myself and my family to get through a disaster, but I am not going to hold my breath waiting for the government to take care of me.

The entitlements of social security and Medicare were not meant to be a person's sole income. Why should I be penalized for saving my whole life only to have to give it to some schlub that has wasted their money their whole lives?

There is not going to be a social security "safety net" for anyone 35 and under. The baby boomers will make sure of that.

He has nice hair! But needs to lay off the Mystic. Don't worry James I'm not down with the Mormons so not voting for him!

romney is a douche. a lying douche who governed my state like a flaming liberal (embracing us gay folk, saying nasty things about reagan and the national republicans, passing and signing universal health care!)and just one year later, he's suddenly to the right of ann coulter. if you republicans fall for this asshole, well, you're slower than i think you are.

READ MY COMMENT JAMES…to be honest I know nothing about the guy cause I don't care to…

Exactly how I feel about Hilary Rodham Clinton. She went far to the left to get elected in New York and now she is slowly but surely going right to try to get elected President. Just fucking be what you are, you're giving me a headache.

I too have a headache, I think it's because there is too much talk about politics going on right now. Where's LiLo and her pops?

This might be the first election I sit out. I'm not sure yet.

see i love Clinton, i think she'll be a great moderate, but i actaully think Guluiani (as much as he annoys the hell outta me) will be a great moderate as well.

I'm very left, but I like my politicians moderate, to keep me in check.

yourmom I read that as lollipops…wonder if BritBrit has a lolly I can bum off her? I could use some drugs right now

Can't get past the way Giu. treated his ex wife and the way he works 9/11 into every damn answer

and actually i don't think romney embraced MA like a liberal - he pretended to be moderate adn then fought tooth and nail against everything left, gay marraige, abortion, public schools.

what he did to public schools in MA is disgusting.

I like my rights gay and my health care socialised.
But I don't get to vote.

What did he do?

evil, you don't address the governments regualtory powers. not all families take care of their own…i can't believe it would be acceptable for you to live in the america of 1890 where 10 yr olds worked in mines or factories for 12 hours a day. part of advancing as a race and society means we are hopefully less savage and going back to the society of old is just not feasible. corporations as they exist and their unprecedent powers were not forseen by our founding fathers…if they were, do you doubt they would have put a check on it? we need an active federal government to counter their power or the corporations would simply take over. as for katrina, we have the government we elect. we elected a bunch of incompetent, corrupt, morons who appointed people to FEMA and other agencies based on how big a contribution you made to the RNC. government can work, does work, 90% of the time. but human nature being what it is, we only notice when it goes wrong.

April: for reals. I was living in boston at the time he was elected. And then proceeded to do the opposite of what he said he would do for public schools. The man is just a slippery liar.

I don't like all the flippy-floppy. Don't speak in your "black voice" whilst in a church in the deep South, and then get all uppity when you're with the Hollyweird crowd. I know you like her April, but she frankly scares the living shit out of me. I lived through her previous two presidencies and I don't know if I can handle a third. Plus I don't like it when she yells, it reminds me of taking a scolding from my mother.

he cut almost all the funding, he woudlnt re contract teachers and professors, teachers were let go left and right, class sizes are HUGE because of it

MA schools are in a terrible state and its becuae ROmeny beleives in private education which scares the hell outta me if hes elected.

for a fun version of this nightmare, read a book called "jennifer government" before george clooney, who has the rights, ruins it. it's about the kind of society you envision in which people's last names are the names of the corporations they work for. jennifer works for the FBI and since there is basically no federal government, she has to raise funds from victims' families before she can solve a crime. and the NRA and other corporate entities do whatever they wish…

april, if romney had managed to get re-elected in Mass., the people's republic itself, well, he'd have the nomination sown up. but he couldn't win re-election cause he went so far to the right in 2005 and 2006. he was losing in polls to hitler, for god's sake.

Not to be all political (I will stop soon, I promise) but the Constituion has to be interpreted - if only because it could not predict all the eventualities of modern times. I guess we could be like France and make a new Constitution every time our asses itch?

I am just curious as to what no expressly given (or amended) liberties we have that you object to. The only one that comes to mind is maybe privacy?

james, bureaurocracy is not a requirement to function as a nation. As far as "corporations taking over," I don't get what you are saying. It's not a power or function of the federal government to regulate business. At least it shouldn't be. That's why everything fucking thing is made in China these days. The taxes and regulations put upon businesses large and small are one of the things crippling this country and why we have turned into a nation of service industry workers. Not insulting service industry workers, just saying that we have pretty much lost our skilled trades industry.

Goverment is not the solution to most of humanities problems, but it usually causes quite a bit of them.

see i can live wiht some flippity flop (hey i live in kerry's state - da dum chhhh) i jsut can't live with outright known liars, or poeple's whose agenda is to disenfranchise other's rights.

but i respect your opinion. you arent the only one, thats for sure. i love her, im voting, i volunteer for her, and although i hope she does, i dont think she'll win (and im sad about it) becuase a lot of poeple are in your boat (well that and even more are a fraid what she'll do when she has pms but thats another issue entirely)

I'm talking about people saying things like, "We have an absolute right to free speech. We have a right to clean water and air. We have a right to wear ugly shoes, etc." Yes, we want clean air and water, but is it a Constitutional right? No, it's not. Just like it's not a Constitutional right to be rich and famous, but don't tell Britney that.

Can we all agree that killing puppies is wrong? I live somewhere my vote doesn't even count. I'll be sitting over at the, bitter bitches, table.

yes i agree with that.. infact, that pretty much all i have been saying about him…

also on the puppies - totally wrong

i dunno…killing puppies might be wrong but the constitution doesn't expressly forbid it so i think i'm gonna go skin one now. i need a new coat.

Actually the Commerce Clause gives the feds the right to regulate business. When the commerce clause was used to keep the feds out of business at the turn of the 20th century we had big business running things as they wished: no unions, child labor, no minimum wage long work days. Although we also had cheap products, massive output and the Rockafellers felt guilty later and built some pretty buildings.

The outflux of jobs to Asia and South America could be solved through an import tax or devaluation of the dollar. But business doesn't want that, neither does anyone invested in the NYSE. No regulation is only really good for the top 10-20%, it sucks for everyone else. Too much or bad/unenforced regulation only works for the bottom 30% (guesstimate on both figures) - either way I am screwed.

So, you don't want my handsewn puppy poncho then, juju?

Although if a really cute puppy ran for President in 08, I'd definitely vote for him/her. And the puppy would be the most qualified (and cutest) of all the candidates!

ah james, i too share the battle scars of the romney regime.

personally, i think the cutest thing he did was prevent mental health patients from getting care…he must just LOVE the crazy homeless people!

could you imagine if a guy like that ran the country? the elderly, children and schools, and mentally unstable would probably just be shot…i actually think he's running that under a program called the final solution? sounds familiar but i don't recall where it comes from..

Well ET, rights can be created by the Constituion, laws or regulations created by governmental agencies. So people do have a right to clean water and air, because there is a regulation that says so. If you wanted to make a Constitutional argument, there are very few express rights given by the Constitution (and mostly through Amendments) - what it does is divide power between the states and the feds.

Honestly I think it's great that there are so many educated opinions on here…most of my best friends are Libs/Dems. Nice to keep it interesting. I think we need both/all sides to keep this country going.

BALE in 08 bitches!

I agree that government regulates business and now has the legal right to do so, I just don't agree with that. Since I have leapt so far into the fire today, here's another, and then I will have to check back in later.

I think unions have passed their time of usefulness. And my dad is a retired UAW guy. He is getting screwed out of his pension and his health benefits because the unions pressured the corporations for ridiculous wages for certain positions with equally ridiculous nonsense like paying the 58 year old guy $22/hour to sit at home, while they pay a 25 year old guy $17/hr to do the older guy's job. My brother-in-law worked for Ford for over 30 years, he should have been fired for simply not showing up some days, sleeping on the job, etc, but the union fought for him to keep him $20/hr job sweeping the shop floor. I don't give a damn how good of a sweeper you are, you don't deserve $20/hr for it.

"Although if a really cute puppy ran for President in 08, I’d definitely vote for him/her. And the puppy would be the most qualified (and cutest) of all the candidates!"

will mittens romney do?

and lisa…thanks. there's at least one other commie out there…business always gravitates towards where labor is the cheapest, within the u.s. or oustide…nothing new there. our economy grows and adopts and we are moving towards a service economy, having outgrown the industrial one. and no, not all the service jobs are low-wage…most in fact aren't. (can you tell i used to be an econ major?)

ET: I totes agree on the union thing. It is like they have to stir shit up to prove they deserve their union fees.

What I don't get that as a strict constructionalist you disagree that the Feds can regulate business? It is pretty explicit- unless you mean you don't equate commerce with business?

If you already made the poncho, I'll take it. I feel like playing with some of my, Fisher Price, lead filled toys.

I LOVE YOU EVIL!!!

I work in an industry where unions are very prevalent and it's a JOKE. I think for most industries unions are unnecessary now, and they ultimately do more harm than good.

"ah james, i too share the battle scars of the romney regime.

personally, i think the cutest thing he did was prevent mental health patients from getting care…he must just LOVE the crazy homeless people!"

yeah…my mom is an R.N. and i got an earful about what he was trying to do…remember though, while i would never defend the s.o.b., that 87% of our legislature is controlled by the dems….they can and have overridden whatever he vetoes, so if that money wasn't restored, then it was on the legislature.

OMG James I LOVE IT!!! Do you like cheeseburgers? :-) http://icanhascheezburger.com/

yeah….i'm going to stay out of this one. bunnieballs must be loving this.

Aha, LisaNo.1, I gave myself wiggle room by saying for the "most part" strict constructionist. :)

I'm also a firm believer in states' rights, and I hate it that the Big Daddy Fed cuts off infrastructure funds to states that won't play ball on their pet projects.

So, who will join me in a Tom-ba, and then I REALLY have to go or I'm going to be late for my appointment. Stupid work.

lol…yes. admitting i love lindsay was bad enough but now i'm admitting that i like "icanhascheezburger". i'm so gay.

will simply say in defense of unions they provide so much better health care for workers than many jobs do (and even could, its hard smaller subs to offer great benifits).

i gots to go too evil…gotta go work a little. i'm not in a union, LOL…seeya ladies soon!

Deimos- yes, if you haven't figured it out already (sure you have!) I think Bunnie baits these posts to get us all farked up. COME OUT FROM BEHIND THE CURTAIN BUNNIE!!!

Tom-ba forever. Clinkie!

j_b: are you LOLGay?

I just found, cheesburgers, last night. I'm alwasys late on these things.

Juju: you do know about Cuteoverload.com right?

oh god lisa…thanks. now i'm very lolgay…

he's sitting in front of his computer doing the evil hands thing and stroking a white cat again. damn you cord, why must you be so evil?

I just went to Cute…never seen it…love it! Off to look at more snuggly furry lover critters!

And so handsome…why must you be so handsome?

I'm still here waiting for my co-worker so we can leave already, but I got bored so I came back.

Cord you Moron. Ann was defending Bush against people who say he is retarded. She has said plenty of things that you could rightly criticize her for, but this quote is definately not an attack on him. Try reading it again a little slower.

And… here we go again.

How dare you be on topic, Chuck? Where do you think you are?

I know there are 167 posts before you Chuck, but you may want to take a gander through them to try and catch up. LOOK IT UP!

i like kittens, who else likes kittens?

P.S. I know I keep using "Look it up" completely wrong, but it makes me giggle every time so don't expect it to stop.

not BALE.

kittens go in the ATM

LOOK IT UP! BALE! REYNOLDS! TOM-BA TM!

Fuck, where's Lisa? I still can't do the superscript. Suck it, superscript.

OMG, Chuck. He's the guy who keeps trying for the big O when the window has clearly passed. Dude, it's not going to happen, get the hell off of me. Tom-Ba

Ian Campbell. I know a kid named Ian Campbell. Wierd.

Anyhoo, I would totally vote for a puppy. As long as it doesn't crap in the dining room like mine just did.

April you are cracking me up…the only part of that Bale movie that I DID NOT WANT

Yeah, except the window for the big O takes a lot less time than 167 posts.

Speaking of which, where are my little sandwiches?

Yes more like 20 mins for me lately

You've been, GUTTE'D, again. When will you learn, JAnice?

I'm a Gutte'n for punishment.

Is it safe to come back yet?

Have you ever actually, gotten any little sandwhiches? Stop being lured by the promise of lunch meats.

Has Brit-Twit's celebratory party train wrecked yet?

What's this big O you speak of?

But the pharmacy sandwiches are so tasty! And he keeps telling me he'll come back with them.

Hell… it'll be worth it. One day, I'll get my little sandwich.

Typical.

Aw… I wrote a whole post about my longings for little sandwiches and it went AWOL. Much like Bar Rafaeli from the Israeli army!

ZING!

Maybe my post is living in New York somewhere, making it big.

if you have to ask you'll never know chuck.

Chuck doesn't even know what an orgasm is folks, don't worry. He's just as slow as GWB, and now we've come full circle.
