I'MMA LET YOU FINISH
Okay, now I'll go and read what you said.
Actually, seconds is best I've decided.

Damn you mer! (And Fuck Bush)
thirds is better QL
How much would it cost to close the funding gap that may appear in 2041? Maybe we should think about using this $2 trillion for that instead of destroying SS. I know, let's buy T bills with the money now, and let the magic of compound interest do its job, and voila, problem solved.
Hell, I think a $2 trillion donation should make almost anything solvent, right?
Where's my soma?
What amazes me is how terribly the Bushies are doing even though they seem to have a strangle hold on the MSM. Shrub can say anything he wants these days and the press just follows along willingly. Under those circumstance he should be able to do anything he pleases. So far he is floundering. What a dip. Imagine the crash and burn if we had a campaign going on and a strong candidate that wasn't afraid to call him the liar he so truly is.
Damn you back spinoza! (And Fuck Bush more)
and I love your comments. Laughter is the best medicine, and sometimes I can't help but laugh out loud at yours.
(AP) -- North Korea on Saturday called U.S. President George W. Bush a "hooligan"...
Well I'll be damned. I agree with N. Korea on something!
bill, bill, bill
Don't forget, Kerry won the election. Kerry tried to remember if he were elected that he would be president of all Americans, not just slightly more than half that voted for him. Unlike shrub who is willing discount more than half the population.
With two brothers, both staunch republicans owning 100% of the computerized voting machines, it is absolutely no wonder that the game was rigged.
Have there been any Chicago Dyke sightings in the last 24 hours?
Way better than kitties imho.
Hooligan? HA! He's a lying, scheming, rat bastard with blood on his hands. And that's the nicer thing I could think of.
Well I'll be damned. I agree with N. Korea on something!
Saddam and Kim Jong Il are both more honest and credible than our president. How sad is that?
bigvic, you forgot cocksucker. Don't you be dissing Jimmy/Jeff now.
bigvic,
OK OK It's just a little easier to say that "Bush resorts to holliganism" than "Bush resorts to rat bastardism."
Bush is treated like an awkward family member with no table manners and nothing interesting to say. We pretend he is quite normal. Or the media pretend.
OK OK It's just a little easier to say that "Bush resorts to holliganism" than "Bush resorts to rat bastardism."
But "resorts to" kinda makes it sound like desperation rather than SOP.
But. but...BUT! The Iraqi's had purple fingers! IF we don't save social security now...The terraists have WON!
THEY HAD PURPLE FINGERS!
Someone should warn the "news" media that their competition is gaining every time they choose to overlook the news.
So GE Fats doesn't notice this little bit of a transfer, and no one should forget that Tubby Tim is their flag ship "serious" "journalist". No one in TV news is presented as having more gravitas than The Spud Stud.
I can't wait to see how the talking bozos try to spin Bu$h's SS piratization scheme tomorrow. That ought to be particularly messy.
True the election is suspect, but I'm talking about the obvious decline he is facing now. I imagine it's even starting to get through the fog of his sheltered life. Howard Hughes and Michael Jackson have more in common with this President than any other Americans. People are starting to catch on. Even the really stupid ones are smelling the coffee.

I like that. It says so much. Think I'll spread it around.
Shut up liberals. All of your backbiting is going to embolden terrorists to attack us. And when they do, you will BE shut up for good. It's almost worth it to end liberalism once and for all.
I find GW's diplomatic skills amazing.
He calls little Kim a pigmy, a tryrant and Little Kim still won't negociate nukes with us.
The SS Bush.
Sinking in your local neighborhood theater.
Or should that be stinking?
I feel threatened. Anybody else? Maybe we should announce some kind of colorful alert thing so we can all share the feeling.
Blogwhoring: Nuke, Nuke, Who's Therea recent poll in SOUTH Korea:
Which nation is the greatest threat to Korea?
First - The United States (29.5%). Second - Japan (29.2%). Third - North Korea (18.4%)
45.7% of people in 20s and 50.1% of the students believe the US is the number one threat to Korea.
Will North Korea use nukes on which nation?
South Korea - 26%. USA - 19.2%. Japan - 18.1%.
30.8% believe North Korea will not use nukes.
The poll sample size is 1,058 adults 20 or older and has an error margin of 3.1%.
Central Scrutinizer- You sure the color of those fingers is purple?
We are NUMBER ONE! Whoo hoo.
Bet polls in the Middle East have us dominating that spot utterly.
I love the smell of moron in the
afternoon.
spinoza,
That uncertainty is what makes that picture so damned amusing.
iokiyar?
Yep, we need to watch out for those suiciders..
Interesting poll, Elaine. I hate it that GWB has the entire world thinking our country is a threatening bully. BTW, I heart youg excellent blog.
its ok if you are republican?
cs- you are one sick but very amusing human being.
spinoza,
Thank you!

It's Okay if You Are a Republican.
Being a rethuglican means never having to be embarassed about being a flaming hypocrite.
When we get attacked by terrorists, liberals are to blame. When we are not attacked by terrorists, the conservacult gets the credit.
It's all very logical.
I'll take a booming economy and a balanced budget over the homeland "security" of the Republicans!
Well, I mean, they knew what to do when they got CIA briefings entitled "Bin Laden Determined to Strike the U.S.? didn't they?
And we wonder why so many people are Republicans. Who wouldn't want to be on the get-out-of-jail-free team?
My guess is that the rest of the world thinks that the US is a threatening bully because that's what we have become (I'd like to think that it hasn't always been that way, but I won't ask any Native Americans if I want to cherish my illusions).

That's genius
Did any of you hippies out there read MoDo today? Whew! She smacked down Chalabi and BushCo HARD. Called Judith Miller's husband "The Thief of Bagdad."
Describing math using words is kinda hard (especially when you have fucking liars involved), that's why they invented math.

(AP) -- North Korea on Saturday called U.S. President George W. Bush a "hooligan"...
what i was thinking as i read this headline over at buzz, was what a shame, an essentially honest, and decent man, and also a true patriot, was, (some say) defeated in an election by a moral fuckwit, and incompetent boob.
it's not like the other times i've been disappointed in election results, and i say that not just because i voted for the first time. i say that because i voted for the first time because the situation is that dire. sure 9/11 could have happened on a clinton watch, or a kerry watch, but it happened on bush's watch, even tho it is now clear this administration was repeatedly warned of the danger, and they used the fear to game the system. that's sick beyond comparison.
Fuck Bush and any goddamned idjiot who voted for him.
you know, i now live in a state where it's legal to shoot someone if you only feel threatened. i feel extremely threatened by people who could vote for such an obvious idiot. fortunately for them i don't have a gun. that could change.
this society is in a deep, deep malaise. sadly, a crashing economy may be the wake up call.

That's why Bu$h prefers blatant lying, instead. Deception works well for him too.

I think they just do it reflexively now, even when they don't have to. They've been thoroughly indoctrinated with the idea that The Truth Shall Send You To Jail.
OK OK It's just a little easier to say that "Bush resorts to holliganism" than "Bush resorts to rat bastardism."
How about "Bush resorts to cocksuckerism"?
This all reminds me of Bush's mocking of Gore's budget plans and Gore's criticism of Bush's tax cuts as "fuzzy math" and the media laughed and the American people bought it.
In the end, Gore was right. Crank up the way back machine, this SS plan is a replay attack of the same type of lies.

Freedom Is Not Free
what you mean is to end democracy, fine, your right freedom isn't free. might be time to get that gun. tho i'd rather just punch your guts out and kick you stupid teeth in. ya fuck'n moral idiot.
and we will be attacked again. and when we are, it will be your fault. "if you make the wrong choice the danger is we will be attacked again...
count on it dumbass.
an essentially honest, and decent man, and also a true patriot, was, (some say) defeated in an election by a moral fuckwit, and incompetent boob.
I share your pain. The gop likes to talk about morality and values so much because they don't have them. I would love to have those sons of bitches at Diebold charged treason and found guilty as they are. I might even turn pro death penalty in that case.
Beyond Self-Parody
The Democratic Party’s radio address today was focused on the judicial filibuster issue. And it was given by . . . drum roll . . . Mario Cuomo.
Ahem.
First of all, and before I get into the whole Cuomo issue, shouldn’t the “Party of the People” be focusing on Social Security reform and energy policies right now, especially in the wake of the Prez’s speech from the other night? I mean, seriously, why are they in such a panic attack over the prospect of a handful of conservative judges getting lifetime appointments to federal appeals courts?
Oh, right, never mind.
Now, onto the real issue here:
Mario Cuomo?
Mario freakin’ Cuomo???!!!
Gee, I guess Dukakis was booked, huh?
Sheesh.
Who, pray tell, will the Democrats trot out next week? Tom Foley? Walter Mondale? Ann Richards? Dick Gephardt? Jimmy Carter? John Kerry? George (38-60) McGovern???
Oh, man.
The current, asinine version of the old Democratic Party has degenerated into a satire of itself. If it were a race horse, in point of fact, we’d already have euthanized it.
Over and out.
Well, looks like the trolls have finally rolled out of bed. What is it, noonish on the West Coast, three-ish on the East? Sounds about right. Mom finally came down into the basement and yelled at them to get up and clean all the empty Cheetos bags and jizz-encrusted Kleenexes off the floor in the den.
"this society is in a deep, deep malaise. sadly, a crashing economy may be the wake up call."

I have to agree with you 100%. Though I wish those of us who didn't tow the line for Bush&co, were not in the same sinking ship. But we are.
Somebody resurrrect Ross Perot:
Simple charts in four colors will end this "debate". Math is never a debate.
Your wish is granted.
Steve Simils:
Did you see my request for music info and not know the answer, or not see the question. I will email you if you just didn't see the question.
Thanks.
I voted for Mondale, and I'd do it again. =D
I've said it before but....unless
something's done about the voting
machines we may be fucked in
perpetuity.
Face it, the only way we could
conceivably
have a Democratic president is
if he or she were to win with
such a huge poll advantage
going in
that it would be obvious if they
fixed it.
And I don't see that happening anytime
soon barring a complete Republican
and media collapse.
Anybody disagree?
steve: I agree.
Here's a great quote from MoDo's column:
Ahmad Chalabi - convicted embezzlei in Jordan, suspected Iranian spy, double-crosser of America, purveyor of phoney war instigating intelligence - is now minister of Iraqi oil.
Only in Bushworld. Hundrds of thousands dead or wounded for this.
Learning from Mario
In his radio address for the Democrats today, Mario Cuomo showed himself to be the faithful student of cornpone constitutionalist and former Ku Klux Klan Kleagle Robert Byrd. Thus spake His Honor:
Now, the Republicans in the Senate...are threatening to claim ownership of the Supreme Court and other federal courts, hoping to achieve political results on subjects like abortion, stem cells, the environment and civil rights that they can not get from the proper political bodies: the Congress and the presidency.
How will they do this? By destroying the so-called filibuster, a vital part of the 200-year-old system of checks and balances in the Senate that allows the fullest possible debate before one of the president's choices for the Supreme Court or other federal courts is allowed to take his or her place on the bench. That would be a change so undesirably destructive that it has been called the nuclear option.
The Republicans say it would assure dominance by the majority in the Senate. That sounds democratic until you remember that the Bill of Rights was adopted, as James Madison pointed out, in order to protect all Americans from what he called, the tyranny of the majority. And it sounds nearly absurd when you learn that the minority Democrats in the Senate actually represent more Americans than the majority Republicans do.
How many whoppers, stretchers, flips and flops can you spot in these three paragraphs? It would be cruel to unleash Paul Mirengoff on them, but even I can follow the Cuomo postulates to the inference Cuomo shrinks from drawing explicitly: that the Bill of Rights was adopted to protect us from the tyranny of the Democrats. But then again, I am a Straussian and a believer in "reading between the lines."
Update on the Runaway Bride:
MSNBC is very compassionate towards the bride. Maybe she needs help. She doesn't need all this pressure.

"Not that's there's anything wrong with that."
(I never watched Seinfeld, but it was Br Mario's favorite show)
America was attacked on George Bushes watch by the brother of his business partner with warnings about a pending attack being ignored by his concubine who didn't want to bother him with it while he was "clearing brush" on his play farm in Texas. Possible witnesses to the investegation were flown out of the country while all other civilian planes were grounded...... The incompetent memebers of the regime were duly promoted by George Bush, exactly as if they were being rewarded for work well done.
If it happens again, WE will make the Republicans answer for it. And it's not going to be polite and nice.
The attacks, both 9/11 and Oklahoma were products of the right here and abroad. They did this to our country.
I agree, steve. Those fuckers are so craven and dishonest, and obviously know their policies are too fucked up to get the majority of the vote that they resort to stealing elections. They don't even bother being subtle about it.
I agree with underwhelm who agrees with steve simel.
puppets is a poopy head. Anyone agree?
As I've posted before, I have nothing against cocksucking except when Matthews, Russert, etc. do it to Bush.
A's still in that aeroporto, eh? Go get a beer, Scout, best to have it now rather than in the plane when you can't get to the toity because of Federal regulations prohibit you from doing anything other than cultivating deep vein thrombosis.
Every item in the AZ Republic today dealing with Shrub and his little plan was vitriolic, nasty and pointedly hostile.... Gee. You think the major newspaper in the land o'retired white people might be offering a hint as to how the thing's going over?

There are however today reported to be 18 new cases of polio in Yemen. Yemen had been noted to be polio-free by WHO, until 2003, when Nigeria, in the grip of religious zealots protesting against what was claimed to be an attempt by the United States to render Nigerians infertile and infected with AIDS, boycotted and forbade polio immunisation. Polio cases re-appeared in Nigeria and have now apparently spread into Sudan (149 cases). The Nigerian polio strain has now spread into Saudi Arabia and Ethiopia, but renewed vaccination efforts seem to have halted the outbreak. The Nigerian strain of the virus is also now being found in Benin, Chad, Cameroon, Botswana, Burkina Faso, Central African Republic, Ghana, Guinea, Mali and Togo - all nations that were previously declared polio-free by WHO.

Last time I flew, I broke the airplane toity. Well, I was half-asleep and mistook the no-longer-used ashtray-in-the-outside-of-the-toity-door for the door handle (I don't fly often) and giving it a good tug, it flew off and hit the floor with a *clang*. It was one of those wide-eyed Lucille Ball moments.

You can tell things are really bad in FR when their scabs are bouncing over here...must be a lot of picking going on over there
Fibble over at DKos had an interesting diary about the voting issue. I feel the same way as others here feel; if we don't fix the voting issue, 2006 & 2008 will be for naught. Battleground states need to change (hello Florida & Ohio) the lack of a paper trail in voting or we will repeat this "error in exit polling" (when there was none) again and again. I guess the question is; who's running for offices in those states that can effect this change and how do we support those who are honest?
Jeez, we got an infestation of stupid trolls, too. Whassamatta, you don't like Mario Cuomo because he's intelligent, eloquent, passionate, and gives a damn about people? 'Cause if you're raggin' on him because he's old, I'll see your Cuomo and match you a Bob Dole, Newt Gingrich, Trent Lott, and even the occasional Henry Fucking Kissinger....

It's incredible, isn't it? They've triumped in the last three elections, they control all three branches of government and many of the statehouses...and they just keep getting angrier and angrier and ANGRIER. If we liberals are so effete and ineffective and self-defeating, and they're such big swinging dicks who effortlessly crush us every time we so much as lift up our puny liberal heads, then why the never-ending rage at how liberals are just controlling and ruining everything? Hell, we don't control shit anymore. Repukes have nobody to blame but themselves for anything at this point.
I had to take our cat in to be put down yeasterday. I lost it in the vets office. I can't figure out why this one has hit me so hard. In the last few years, I've had to do it for a cat we've had for 24, yes 24, years and and another we had for 16. This last one we've had for ten, yet it was the toughest for me to do out of the three. I loved them all but was able to hold the other two while they were injected and then bury them. I couldn't do either with this one.
I felt like an idiot, standing in the lobby holding that cat and sobbing. I don't even know why I'm writing this. I guess it feels better to just get it out in anonimity.

a song written by Joe Hill
Long haired preachers come out every night,
Try to tell you what's wrong and what's right;
But when asked how 'bout something to eat,
They will answer with voices so sweet:
You will eat, bye and bye,
In that glorious land above the sky:
Work and pray, live on hay,
You'll get pie in the sky when you die.
Workingmen of all countries unite;
Side by side we for freedom will fight.
When the world and its wealth we have gained
to the grafters we'll sing this refrain:
You will eat, bye and bye,
When you've learned to cook and fry;
Chop some wood, t'will do you good,
And you'll eat in the sweet bye bye.

My first election was Mondale, too. It was the end of Reagan's first term and a lot of us were convinced that if he won a second term we were going to be drafted and sent to Central America for "Vietnam: The Sequel." Fortunately that never happened, but I do remember seeing a large-ish group of College Republicans celebrating in the basement of my dorm on election night and consoling myself with the thought that if I was going to be sent to El Sal in fatigues, that at least a few of those fucks might have to join me.
I held my 21 year old cat when they injected her, but I just couldn't face it with Bob, my beloved beloved cat whom we finally had to put down 2 years ago now. Mr. Tena took him for me, and I'll always be grateful.
He said Bob went very easily - that he seemed ready and was peaceful.
ok, now I'm crying.
patriotboy - so sorry and remember your kitty was loved and had a good life.
Should we start working on another NYC Atriots' gathering? Maybe around Memorial Day?

i was too, til my current pia unthreaded the machine again. Damn, he just can't seem to stay away from a spool of thread. I literally have close up shop at the end of the day, else there is thread all over the place the next day. God forbid I leave the sewing box unattended for two minutes.
Well, I've really brought this thread down.
You haven't done any such thing. This is a time when you need some support, and everyone is more than happy to give it. If I thought that weren't the case, I wouldn't bother coming here.
GWPDA
Was the Arizona Republic considered to be a "Democratic" or "Republican" paper? If it was Repug and it is now down on Bush for both SS and the results of the Iraq war, maybe we are finally starting to win.
patriotboy - you aren't bringing the thread down - don't be silly.
Who the hell are you supposed to talk to about this if not us?
We loves ya - and we feel badly for you but that's not bringing the thread down in some really bad way.
patriotboy,
Sorry for your loss, But don't you dare be sorry for sharing it here, in our community.
patriotboy:
Condolences. And I know the
feeling -- after my sainted 15
year old cat Murray had to
be put down,
I cried for weeks.
Took me a year before I could
even throw away his x-rays.
Seriously.
I felt like an idiot, standing in the lobby holding that cat and sobbing.
you are an idiot- hello, its a FUCKING CAT
you libs should show half as much compassion for an unborn baby torn from the womb and its brains sucked out- Late Term Abortion, the 5th Democrat Holy Sacrament!
What pie said.
NYMary -- the only time I've ever been close is a couple of trips through LaGuardia. As I said, the problem isn't getting there (at least, not anymore, now that I've got reliable wheels), it's doing so at a time when I'm not scheduled for a paying gig. Memorial Day, 4th of July, Labor Day, and Halloween, I'm booked at SF conventions. (I'm free Thanksgiving and Christmas, but they have their own, ahem, logistical problems.)
My tears for Bob were sweet ones and they are gone now.
I went and hugged the box with his ashes.
Then I petted Ole, my present cat. He mainly wanted me to leave him alone because he was napping. His look said: You stupid human, can't you see I'm trying to sleep here?"
Patriotboy,
My sympathies as well. most likely, I'll be in the same situation on Monday. My beloved 16 year old calico has what is most likely a brain tumor. And putting this one down is worse than the other three so far. I've been crying like a baby for the last 2 weeks, when she took a turn for the worse.
"Well, I've really brought this thread down. Sorry about that. But thank you for your nice coments. It's been a rough night and day."
--patriotboy
No, I don't think you did. I think when people care about other people, they express their concern.
One of the worst things about this country is people don't think death is in the equation anymore, even though it happens everyday.
And thank you for being patriotboy.
All right, puppets either is a meta who believes he's amusing or Bill Frist. Either way, give him his coat and show him the street.
That's 'cause cats don't grow up to vote for Republicans.
GWPDA,
There's a Simpsons sketch in which Lisa jazzes up Marge's resume.
"Worked for the Carter administration!?!"
"Well, you voted for him. Twice!"
"Shhhh! Lisa! People might be listening!"
I would have voted for JC too, but I was too young. I know my folks and older siblings did.
Speaking of abortions, puppets' brain was aborted prematurely.
I can't believe idiots like him share the air we breathe.
FOAD, puppet, you hateful little fuck.
Why is it that the Right just loves to continually demonstrate its assholeness?
Can we put Puppets down?
puppets would be wise to not append an email address while showing his babboon assed self around these parts.
just sayin.
Fuckwit.
Was the Arizona Republic considered to be a "Democratic" or "Republican" paper?
" Debuting May 19, 1890, as The Arizona Republican, the newspaper was created as a sounding board to challenge the biased political beliefs of the established Arizona newspapers.
The Republican brought news of a busy, changing world to the Arizona Territory and covered the founding of Phoenix as the third and permanent capital of the Arizona Territory in 1889.
From the beginning, the focus of the newspaper was to make the Arizona Territory a better place to live. The fight for statehood, achieved in 1912, was one of the newspaper's greatest victories.
Since 1915, the newspaper has been the largest-circulation newspaper in Arizona.
The Arizona Republican ceased to exist when it was renamed The Arizona Republic on Nov. 11, 1930.
On Oct. 25, 1946, Eugene C. Pulliam, one of the last of the self-made newspaper publishers, bought The Arizona Republic, The Phoenix Gazette and the Arizona Weekly Gazette for $4 million. Pulliam then organized the three newspapers into Phoenix Newspapers, Inc., a subsidiary of Central Newspapers, Inc., based in Indianapolis, Ind.
New ownership
In 2000, The Arizona Republic – and all other Central Newspapers properties – were sold to Gannett Co., a media company that ranks as the nation’s largest newspaper owner. The acquisition, which made The Republic the largest non-national newspaper owned by Gannett, ended a tradition of family ownership that spanned more than 50 years. "
It's a pretty damned Republican paper, yes.
Yeah, I read dozens of comments on this board wishing Zell Miller a quick death and laughing about Laura Ingraham's cancer, but if you dis a dead fucking cat you bleeding hearts get all emotional. Get some perspective. I thought you claimed to be the 'reality based community'- here's some reality- its a FUCKING CAT- there are like 10 bajillion of them running around, go grab another one and give it all the love your aborted child will never have. Holy fucking cats.
Any word from TJ today on her kitty?
How many of us have gone over to LGF or FR to gloat about Zell or dead cats?
Having its brains sucked out...
... the precondition for becoming a Bushitista troll.
Sorry to hear of your trouble, patriotboy. Peace.
I don't usually respond to trolls, hell, I don't really comment much at all, even though I read everyday.
But here goes
puppet, you are stupid idiot.
puppet - you are a fucking liar - not one person on this board laughed about Laura Ingraham's breast cancer.
Yu just lie, like everyone of you rightwing fuckwits. Liars liars liars Lliiiiaaaaaaaaarrrrrssss!!!!!
now, go FOAD.
Late Term Abortion
Unavailable at the time - to puppets mother's everlasting regret.
They're terribly concerned about the thousands of dead Iraqi children as well, no doubt.
(crickets)
I like to smell my own poo and finger paint with it
now, go FOAD.
I like ESAD or maybe a combo platter: FOESAD.
I don't usually respond to trolls, hell, I don't really comment much at all, even though I read everyday.
But here goes
puppet, you are stupid idiot.
Hey, I'm not the one whinging about a fucking dead cat.
And you are some hypocritical fucks after all the laughing and satire about the Pope's death, but God forbid you tell someone they are fagtard for spamming up the board because your fucking CAT died.
I had a goldfish die last week, and I'm scarred for life. Pray for me, Atriosians.
Puppets:
When a cat goes on TV and lies
about WMD in Iraq or John Kerry's
record let's talk.
Until then, just blow me.
Are your pants on fire, puppets?
NYMary, I am old. I am very, very old. I remember Jimmy Carter when his hair was still red. I came -this- close to be able to vote for George McGovern.
I was scared by Emmett Kelly. I watched Richard Boone shoot 'Paladin' out in Cave Creek. I remember when the City O'Phoenix only went from 27th Avenue to 36th Street and from Northern to Baseline and there was only one freeway. I am so old that I threw spitwads at Richard Nixon on TV when he told us that there was a secret plan to leave VietNam. I am so old I REMEMBER LISTENING TO THE SONNY LISTON FIGHT ON THE RADIO. And, I remember listening to Nixon/Kennedy on the radio too.
I am very, very, very old. I am so old that I've already given up most of the entertaining sins that you have yet to take up.
Now, I'm going to go eat those brownies that nearly escaped.
Speaking of cats, what happened to Fri. cat blogging?
Looking for silly cat pics for patriotboy and me, any help?
And yes, poopet is a puppyhead.
If he's looking for a fight, why doesn't he stick his head up his @ss and fight for air?
Just a thought.
How many of us have gone over to LGF or FR to gloat about Zell or dead cats?
Eli | Email | Homepage | 04.30.05 - 4:49 pm
What is none, Alex?
Puppets, you shitwit, no one here wants an old man or a young woman or anyone else to die of cancer, mm-kay? Meanwhile, your heroes have demonstrably killed tens of thousands of people -- not fetuses, not potential gatherings of cells that might someday be people, real damn people.
You are nobody and nothing, and you have barged into a clubhouse where we don't mind uninvited guests but ask them to be polite. Obviously, that's way beyond your meagre self.
Why do you fuckin' trolls insist on acting in ways that would get you at leasts arrested in real life?
General, sir,
You didn't bring anyone down. We understand how you feel, though. I still think all the love we get is worth the pain of losing them in the long run.
whinging
What is this strange-looking word, *whinging*?
Sorry to hear that Buckeye. My condolenses,
Magnolia - her name was Nala. We got her for my daughet 11 years ago. She had just been in an accident in which her first real boyfriend had been killed. We thought it would help her.
That might be why it's hit me so hard. It dredges up all of those memories as well. He was a good kid--like a son to us.
Oh, hi, NYMary--he seems to be much better today, but I called the vet and we're going to bring him in for a checkup on Monday. Just to be safe. I'm thinking he may have tried to eat one of the poisonous caterpillars that are all over New Orleans right now. No fever, no more weird throaty noises, grooming himself again, and eating more. Still a little lethargic, but not as bad as last night.
Thanks for asking. I love this place.
What is this strange-looking word, *whinging*?
That is an actual word, in British. I think it's supposed to be like whining, only whinier.
patriotboy- I'm very sorry for your loss.
Trolling over a dead cat has got to be the absolute ultimate in loserdom.

Afternoon, freethinkers
Whoo hooo! I just planted about a bazillion hollyhocks. And my calla lilly bulbs and some iris bulbs and some black-eyed susans. I was *covered* in mud. It's as much fun as being a kid again.
Now, I'm going to go eat those brownies that nearly escaped.
Did the lead knight of the round-table corral the escaping snacktreats?
Thank god there are not brownies on the lam, they could have caused a great deal of trouble.
I was scared by Emmett Kelly.
Well, that only makes sense.... clowns are terrifying.
Speaking of cats, what happened to Fri. cat blogging?
The Atrios kitties were naughty again. One peed on something and the other scratched the camera lense. No kitties for you. One month. heh.
And the only goldfish killed around you last week came out of a box labeled Pepperidge Farm.
NYMary - They're terribly concerned about the thousands of dead Iraqi children as well, no doubt.
Oh yeah, no doubt. And really sorry about the 107 people who have died in US custody in Afghanistan and Iraq - most of whom were tortured to death.
I suspect that gives puppet a big ol stiffy, just like I suspect he tortured cats and other small animals as an adolescent.
Hey, Ripley.
I came -this- close to be able to vote for George McGovern.
My first presidential vote was for Ronald Reagan. My second was for Walter Mondale. I learned a lot in four years.
Oh, never mind...
Listen Simels and GWPDA, I sorta remember seeing the 1956 democratic convention. And I don't feel old. Aging is not the same as senescence.
patriotboy,
I am sorry for your loss. You can never really replace a pet, but if you get a new kitty tomorrow, you can name her Beltane, which I think is a very cool cat name.
Good luck with the kitty, TJ.
The Dursleys live in the town of Little Whinging, Surrey.
So does puppets, apparently.
That might be why it's hit me so hard.
I think you know all too well that it's the case.
Puppets:
Seriously -- just blow me.
And the only goldfish killed around you last week came out of a box labeled Pepperidge Farm.
Hahahahahaha.
TJ - I have spent more damn time in the last month running out back to take a lizard or a snake away from my cat before he could eat it - I know what you mean. He's foamed at the mouth and exhibited other symptoms of slight poisoning off and on.
And for some reason, they invariably do that on a weekend.
Well, that only makes sense.... clowns are terrifying.
I've always been afraid of clowns.
I think it goes back to the time when I was a small child, and my father took me to the circus where a clown killed him.

Army pair's tactics eyed
Student-led sting ensnarls recruiters
By John Aguilar, Rocky Mountain News

Two Army recruiters in Golden have been suspended from their jobs while military officials look into allegations the two men used improper tactics to get an Arvada high school student to sign up for duty.
In the cat heaven, God wears a furry coat
And, Echidne OTS, what is that furry coat made from?

When, at the age of two and a half, sitting bloody ringside at the Calgary Stampede this CREATURE came right at me and stuck his face in mine. Horrible. Macabre. Terrifying. Put me off clowns, chuckwaggons.... Was rescued by a cowboy tho who drug him away.

Yay, Hecate! It's been pissing here all day. Next weekend, maybe. I suspect we're at least a week or so behind you weatherwise anyway.
Oh, NTodd wanted to know if tomorrow's the day we get to have sex in the woods. He read in a crappy novel that that's the way to celebrate Beltane.

Puppets is just practicing some of that compassionate conservatism they liked to talk about before they realized that torture made them horny.
I actually find it comforting to be trolled in this way.
And, Echidne OTS, what is that furry coat made from?
It's made of godcat hair. It grows naturally from the godcat, silly.
I suspect that gives puppet a big ol stiffy, just like I suspect he tortured cats and other small animals as an adolescent.

Oh, I get it! You libdems only like it when SADDAM kills kids and old people! Rock on!
Mass Grave Of Saddam Victims Found
For those who forget why Saddam presented such a unique threat to the region of Southwest Asia, the Washington Post carries this reminder today. American investigators exhumed the corpses of 113 Kurds, all but five women and children, in southern Iraq, and as many as 1400 may still be buried there -- victims of Hussein's genocide against the Kurds and his other ethnic enemies:
U.S. investigators have exhumed the remains of 113 people -- all but five of them women, children or teenagers -- from a mass grave in southern Iraq that may hold at least 1,500 victims of Saddam Hussein's campaign against the Kurdish minority in the 1980s, U.S. and Iraqi officials said this week. ...
The non-acidic soil at the grave site preserved layers and layers of distinctive Kurdish clothing worn by many of the victims, suggesting that they may have piled on their best clothes expecting to be relocated, investigators said.
Authorities showed reporters some of the remains, including the skull of an older woman with pink dentures and the skeleton of a teenage girl clutching a bag of possessions.
"These were not combatants," said Gregg Nivala, a member of a U.S. team investigating crimes committed by Hussein's government and assisting the tribunal. "These were women and children."
The Post reports that American investigators developing evidence for Saddam's trial now can establish that Saddam murdered over a half-million Kurds in retaliation for their opposition during the Iran-Iraq War, and perhaps millions of Shi'a, as National Geographic postulated late last year. The Marsh Arabs also died by the thousands, although perhaps not as directly, when Saddam dried up their habitat and imposed starvation on their population.
Clearly, Saddam made himself into one of the most successful practitioners of genocide in the past century. Not only did he manage to kill millions of people based on their ethnicity and religion, he also engaged the Western liberal elite to defend him and his sovereignty -- the same people who swore "Never again!" when genocide involved Caucasians, who bombed Belgrade when Bosnians became the victims but conveniently looked away from Arab genocides such as in Iraq and in Darfur.
If these people had been in charge in 2003, Saddam would still run Iraq with an iron fist and he would still be killing his enemies by the thousands to this day. He would still be filling these trenches with bodies of women and children, slaughtered by the hundreds in sprays of machine-gun fire and dropped into landfills like the trash Saddam considered them to be. That would have been a fine legacy for Western liberalism: the unnecessary deaths of millions of more Iraqis and others simply because too many of democracy's leaders made money off of Saddam's kickbacks. Shameful.
Dear Leader used to torture frogs as a boy, something he has in common with nascent serial killers.
Except for the nascent part.
When I was really depressed over putting down the best dog in the world, a kitten came into my life. She made me laugh, running up and down the stairs with a big blue rubberband in her mouth. It felt so good to laugh, instead of laying on the sofa with my dogs collar around my neck.
(you guys knew I was crazy already-that's why I can share)
Crazy people drive me crazy.

Went to puppets homepage and was greeted with:
Sorry, you are not permitted to use this board
You are NOT logged in
while it happily downloaded 200K of who knows what until I closed the window.
Tena is probably not totally correct, I am sure that puppets STILL tortures small animals.
(Although technically, I guess serial killers and mass murderers aren't necessarily the same thing. My bad.)
NYMary,
Belane is ALL about sex. Sex in the woods, sex on the beach, sex in the meadow. And, jumping over fires and making wishes. Tomorrow, I'll scatter rose petals on Aphrodite's fire and make a wish for all you Eschatonians!

Well, an aborted child probably takes it personally, seeing as infants aren't really into politics. However, animal rights and compassion for dead cats seem to be every lib-demz priority, over actual humans. LATE TERM ABORTIONS FOR ALL! ITS NOT PERSONAL, BABIES, ITS JUST RED-BLUE POLITICS!!
And the only goldfish killed around you last week came out of a box labeled Pepperidge Farm.

True dat, Bush's current body count would make Ted Bundy seethe and puke with envy.
I thought clowns were OK until I saw that documentary, Killer Klowns From Outer Space.
I now see them in a totally different light since their agenda has been exposed!
My heroes have always been cowboys.
The only real cowboy I ever met was old Ted Whitehead. He was hunchbacked and deaf and he wore long johns and levis that were never ever ever washed. He lived in a leanto he'd build onto his barn (in the summer). Rolled his own cigarettes - the whole nine yards. He took people backcountry, into the Weminuche. In the winter, he cowboyed on a ranch. Never married.
I was scared to death of him when I was a kid.
Eli, you are a hoot and a half.
Um, that was me quoting filk. I was going to correct him that it should have been "vat" rather than "box", but I assed up the HTML and it wasn't worth trying again...
Two Army recruiters in Golden have been suspended from their jobs while military officials look into allegations the two men used improper tactics to get an Arvada high school student to sign up for duty.
But they have such a stressful job!!
A paratrooper with five war zone tours behind him, Thompson is used to tough duty. But he doesn't hesitate when asked what's the toughest part of his current job, as an Army recruiter.
"Stress," Thompson said.
He worries about whether his recruits are making the right decision, whether they are doing well in boot camp. What he doesn't talk about is the stress on military recruiters today to make their quotas. And the stress to meet their quotas is high, too. According to a New York Times report, more than three dozen members of the Army Recruiting Command have gone AWOL since October 2002. The penalties for not making quotas can include leaves being denied, demotions and reduced chances of advancement.
Somebody else want to tell puppets
that we supported Saddam when he
was killing the people he's shedding
crocodile tears over?

recall.
I cried when Reagan died. Tears of joy and thanks. Can't wait until Shrub kicks. I think a late-term abortion would be appropriate for him...maybe today.

Ah, Saddam's mass killings! The only mass killings Republicans ever cared about, as they happened to become politically convenient. And if you did not want to avenge these mass killings in an incompetent fashion that alienated the world, why, then, you do not understand the modern selective morality of the 21st century wingnut.

There you go again, bringing facts into it.
Is it too early to submit recommendations for a date for EschaCon 2006?
Eli
Nope!
Actually, things are moving for 2005. We're winnowing options down to a central hotel and looking for cheaper digs around it, too. I need to buckle down on getting speakers, too (I think I need to be more persistent), but I'm looking to keep the programming light, making it more social than political.
There was some cowboy whose wife was named Dale Evans. When I was four, I wanted to be Dale Evans in the worst kind of way. She wore these great western outfits and I think she sang or something. I still love the name Dale.
Saddam was horrible. Bush is too. The fact that Saddam did not engage in systematic genocide does not make him any less evil than Hitler, nor does the fact that Bush has not ordered mas executions make him less evil than Saddam. Matters of degree are meaningless once you've crossed the line into torture and murder.
Eli - Well, I pushed for a spring EschaCon, but no one else could make it until later.
And now look at what we're missing.
Hecate - I really do appreciate your wishes for me and the rest.

By any account, there were not nearly as many non-combatants killed during the liberation of Iraq as Saddam and his sons and henchmen killed in an average week, and would still be killing.
If I'm not mistaken, some French peole were killed in the Liberation of France during WWII- are you postulating that it was not worth overthrowing Hitler? Saddam would still be killing women and children if President Bush hadn't the courage to rid the world of Saddam. Shame on you lib-demz.

And I wanted to be Roy Rogers or John Wayne.
Several years ago a dog I had for 13 years out of the blue had a seizure and died. I was stunned for that day and the next. Just stunned. I heard that dog clip clopping around the house for a week. Had to let him in and out a dozen times too. A couple weeks later bought the usually monthly supply of his dog food, biscuits and bones. Don't know if it was force of habit or just denial. Ended up donating it to the local humane society along with a good chunk of cash.
Swore I'd never get another animal, but of course I did.
pie,
There were Army recruiters in my daughter's high school when I went there a couple of weeks ago. I was shocked.
When, at the age of two and a half, sitting bloody ringside at the Calgary Stampede this CREATURE came right at me and stuck his face in mine. Horrible. Macabre. Terrifying. Put me off clowns, chuckwaggons.... Was rescued by a cowboy tho who drug him away.
Hahahahaha. You guys are seriously funny today. All that old talk from not old folks is a hoot.
Saddam's mass killings - yeah, they don't hold a candle to the kind of killing that Bushie's new ally in the Sudan is responsible for.
The Repugs - the only dead children they care about don't exist.
The real dead and dying children all over the planet are just "collateral damage."
Hecate:
Dale Evans was actually a real cutie
in the 40s. She was a big band singer.
Sorry, filk. I'm cutting up veggies and not reading all the comments. I love you, too.
Eli, your comments on late night threads have me smiling and help get the day off to a great start.

ah, librule compassion- cry for cats, laugh when humans with whom we disagree politically die! I am learning much here today
nice little calculator at www.house.gov/mcnulty that lets you compute how much of a screwing you take under bush's plan. it is based on the generous assumption that the investment "side" of the plan will yeild 6% a year with compounded interest. a 35 year old earning 50k takes a 5k bath....bash bush's brains in on social security all day every day...
Hey, thanks, pie!
I was laboring under the misapprehension that you thought of me as the slow kid.
NYMary, read that article I linked to. You'll be more than shocked.
Dale Evans gave the convocation at my high school graduation...bored the shit out of me...
Perhaps puppets would care to explain why this country supported Saddam while he started a war with Iran that probably led to over a million dead and who knows how many wounded.
Not even worth it. He's reading the Same Ol' Script.
I admit I'm animal'd out. Had 'em from my earliest days -- cats, dogs, hamsters, snakes, aquatics -- but about eighteen years ago I shared a house with a woman who didn't clean up after her five cats. That put me off pets forever.
Hecate - Dale Evans was Roy Rogers' wife.
She did indeed sing and wear fringed skirts.
I loved Hopalong Cassidy when I was about 3. Then I lost my heart to the Cisco Kid.
Amazing how puppets claimed to be too busy to define an obscure piece of British dialect, but not too busy to hang around and continue to make an ass of himself.
We, however, have some sort of wine-swilling liberal elitist academic cocktail party to go to. Adios for now, my moonbats and cowpokes!
I was laboring under the misapprehension that you thought of me as the slow kid.
YOU?!!! I normally don't even engage in conversation with you, but always appreciate your wit. Should I tell you how wonderful you are more often?
Actually, things are moving for 2005. We're winnowing options down to a central hotel and looking for cheaper digs around it, too. I need to buckle down on getting speakers, too (I think I need to be more persistent), but I'm looking to keep the programming light, making it more social than political.
So who's gonna blog it?
And I wanted to be Roy Rogers or John Wayne.
Is this some sort of bankshot crush on Hecate?
Where have all the cowboys gone?
Have you been over to puppets homepage? It uses wingnut porn as its background.

Don't count on it.
NYMary,
My son has gotten rah rah mail from every branch of the military and I signed a letter and sent it to his school refusing any recruiting by the military. And he's years away from 18, at that.
'Sfine, pie. One of the great things about this place, and Eli in particular, is I knew he'd credit me. And, if he didn't, it wasn't that big a deal.
And, if anything, Eli, you're the quick kid, ya little smart-aleck. Keep it up, and in ten years you can slow down, like me, let the young'uns play through, and sit back with a tall frosty one.
(Mmmm.... A&W Root Beer in a frosty mug....)
Hee. Don't worry about it, pie - I have an excellent memory.
Plus I'll be printing this out and tucking it under my pillow.
puppets-Your President has been known to chuckle over a human death.
Eli - how the heck could you imagine anyone would think you were the slow kid?
Let's put that one to rest right now.
Is this some sort of bankshot crush on Hecate?
Who doesn't have a crush on Hecate?
Not in the snow. I *do* have standards, after all.
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
Best ever - on the road from Cadeques (sp?) leading to Dali's former home. Leisurly lunch, a bit of wine. Oh my!
Adios for now, my moonbats and cowpokes!
Happy Trails to you.
Roy Rogers was my first hero (and he still is).
Later, NYMary! Have fun.
Hecate:
Belane is ALL about sex. Sex in the woods, sex on the beach, sex in the meadow. And, jumping over fires and making wishes.
Can you do retroactive? Go back and make a wish that puppet's parents refrain from sex?
I loved Hopalong Cassidy when I was about 3. Then I lost my heart to the Cisco Kid.
Our host's namesake, no less. I loved going to Leo Carrillo Beach, myself.

so you're telling me that you would have supported the USA entering into the Iraq-Iran war? Hey, how about the Iraqi invasion of Kuwait, does that count? You guys are hard to figure, you change stances at the drop of a hat :D
btw, the UN sent emissaries to Sudan who reported there is no genocide going on there, so you lib-demz can rest easy, I know you all trust the UN above the US any day of the week

Christ, pie.
To help maintain access to a steady supply of potential troops, a little known clause was slipped into the federal No Child Left Behind Act: Every high school that gets federal money -- which includes almost every public school -- must allow military recruiters the same access to students as they give college and job recruiters, sort of a No Child Left Unrecruited clause.
Motherfuckers.
OK, I'm really gone now.
patriotboy,
sorry to you. i'm leaving my cat of 10 years tommorrow. it's unavoidable. i will be living with a great dane. i know this sounds like a joke, but it's not, and i am very sad.

Well, yeah, I just assumed we all did.
Oh yes. She makes me all Wicca in the knees.

Yes, I'm kind like that.
"When, at the age of two and a half, sitting bloody ringside at the Calgary Stampede this CREATURE came right at me and stuck his face in mine. Horrible. Macabre. Terrifying. Put me off clowns,"
Same thing happened to me. I had a great aunt that was in a Catholic nursing home dying of cancer. ...I musta been about 3 and while visiting had my first encounter with a nun. Terrifying. Freaked me right out. ((((shudder))))

Gosh darn it, I've just got too many Atrios crushes to be monogamous. What's up with that?
Oh, abortions are fine, but I do love to eat those freshly born Xtian babies.

Oh for god's sake. Ventured back to the TV looking for news (I never learn) and what do I get? This ridiculously long 911 tape of that bride creature. There is no excuse for this crap. They also plan to have a special hour long program called "The Runaway Bride" on CNN tonight. Insane.

NTodd -- and I knew I was a fool the moment I started. My own damn fault.
I loved going to Leo Carrillo Beach, myself.
Leo Carrillo was Pancho...
Duncan Reynaldo was 'the C Kid'...
i think i heard, when i lived there, that Carrillo Blvd in Santa Barbara is named for Leo Carrillo, or his family, which was once a major inffluence thereabouts...
Echidne--your blog is really rocking lately.
No shit, wasn't there supposed to be a calendar? What's up with that? C'mon!
Not that it hasn't always rocked.

NTodd -- and I knew I was a fool the moment I started. My own damn fault.
Let me introduce you to a useful word, filk: "ALL".
Well, I would make an effort to engage Puppets, but what really is the point. You see, I'm old like GWPDA, so I have forgotten all those years that true Americans bemoaned the plight of the Iraqi people. And I have forgotten all those speeches of conservatives wherein they told us we must go to war with Iraq to stop Saddam's atrocities and rescue those poor Iraqis who have been in our thoughts and prayers for decades.
My memories, even from 2-3 years ago are clouded with words regarding WMD and mushroom clouds. That's how old I am.
And by the way, I'm so old, I remember Clutch Cargo [or Klutch Kargo (or whatever the spelling is)], but I also only viewed that show on radio.
Buses, well don't get me started. In my day, we walked miles to go to school. And shoes, well........
Talk about old.
I'd go over to puppets site, but I don't read shitforbrains. I'm real glad that GHWBush was all up for defending the Kuwaiti anti-woman, anti-freedom, fuck the USA regime from Saddam, though. It's good to know that asswipes like puppets are jealous that GWB hasn't quite descended to Hitler's model yet. Give him time, though. He does love to kill actual breathing, living-outside-the-womb, walking around, innocent civilians. Puts him on a par with 13-year-old rape victims getting rid of a clump of cells, hey? I'm so glad the repig regime of Bush 1 supported the Kurds against Saddam when they rose up against him. Oops, I guess liberals were the ones that turned their backs on the Kurds after promising support. Bush 1 was a lib! Damn, learn something every day from the trollturds.
Echidne -- you, my dear, are, as are all the other lovelies I carelessly and cruelly failed to mention, are a sweetie and a dearheart
That will have to do (grrr). And steve simel, smooch.
I'm also astonishingly beautiful, of course.
I'll be over here....
RMJ, scoot over a bit, if you please.
See, all this kissy-face is just a means of whinging your way into my gently decaying gentrified house which is supposed to have an additional three people in it, to go with the two cars. I know what's going on, I'm not that old. You just want to loll next to the pool and eat strawberries from the garden and peaches from the tree. You imagine that you'll interfere with the escaping brownies and somehow locate their redoubt. I'm on to you, my prettiesssss.....
Eli -- ah-yup. And so do ours.
'Sup, Blak!
Of humor?
I think that would be rd/rr.
They also plan to have a special hour long program called "The Runaway Bride" on CNN tonight.
It is no longer CNN, it is now CPP.
Cable Parody Programming.
Well, yeah. But sometimes I worry that they're too derivative.
I did the math on that one, and I'm afraid it's a bit early to start a pun thread...

I look a lot like the Sergeant Garcia in the old Zorro series, but I'm not sure that I should admit it.

Filk - you're just digging yourself a bigger hole. I for one am a woman, not a girl.
But hey - I made it to the second round so I'm not really complaining.
But you know, I read the overnight threads, and I do think you will some explaining to do.
Speaking of pictures, I loves the one of filkertom singing and playing guitar with his teddy bear.
I really enjoyed that flurry of pictures that happened a few weeks ago of the ladies.
How the hell did I miss that? Maybe we could make that a weekly ritual? Ladies?
Sorry, that should be, I didn't think *times* made a difference...
I'm pretty sure you're dividing your time here and other places, so you're forgiven. Honestly, I could never hope to be your equal in the pun category. I'm such a square.

heh that's rich, considering the bile and venom and general tone of hilarity around here when Pope John Paul II died- but making light over the death of a FUCKING CAT is a major crime, but joking about aborting babies is the height of sophistication? You guys rock in both a hard and steady sense! I want to be a librule so I can be cynical and snotty about religion but cry like a 5 month old baby girl when my FUCKING CAT dies!

101 Uses for a Dead Puppet.
There's not much use for a live one, I'll say that.
I'm hoping there will be a sequel: 101 Uses for a Dead Puppet.
If puppet deeply believes, and his heart and deeds are pure, one day he will awake and become a real, live twat.
Thanks, bigvic. I've got a few more I need to get posted soon, especially with the Christmas Bears.
# Scarecrow for very dumb birds.
# Measure the circumference of a room by swinging it.
# Lure for a live dog.
# Put in the garden borders for repelling rabbits.
# A small child's bike.
# Your dad's a what?!
# Attach to a long wooden pole and use to sweep chimneys.
# Throw at bears in a zoo.
# Burn and use as fertilizer.
# Use as antenna ball.
# Soak up blood at crime scenes.
# Large paintbrush.
# Bury it in your backyard, give it an elaborate tombstone, and claim that it haunts your house.
# Use to decorate your high-tech laser.
# Taxiderm it and display in your window all year round.
# Taxiderm it and place on your couch for when guests come over.
# Bury it.
heh that's rich, considering the bile and venom and general tone of hilarity around here when Pope John Paul II died- but making light over the death of a FUCKING CAT is a major crime, but joking about aborting babies is the height of sophistication? You guys rock in both a hard and steady sense! I want to be a librule so I can be cynical and snotty about religion but cry like a 5 month old baby girl when my FUCKING CAT dies!
This is an example of false dualism. And what exactly would be wrong with crying like a five month old baby girl?
So puppets how many adopted children you got at home?
"And will you put up a sine to advertise 'em?"
i'll cosine on the loan.
There are times I don't understand the arc of these threads.
And will you put up a sine to advertise 'em?
We're really heading off on a tangent pretty early, doncha think?
unfortunately, I've gotten too old to grovel.
It's hard on my back just getting out of bed these days. And standing up? Forget about it.
So I get no lower than sitting, most days.
So puppets how many adopted children you got at home?
A bunch, but around the house he calls them "wives".
Damn you, Eli, you triangulated on my comment.
Thought you were leaving, shithead. And your taste in books reveals much -- when that came out in 1981, at least ten years before you were born, it was no obnoxious and unfunny that the bookstore I worked for sent it back.

No adopted children, but lots of adopted dead cats:
# Cook it.
# Put a spring in its tail and use as a pogo stick.
# Tie it to a pet rock and throw into the water.
# Make into a nice piece of clothing.
# One of those things rich people put around their necks.
# Place them in the back of your truck for added traction in winter.
# Bring back to life by the power of God.
# Once properly cleaned and waxed, they make a lovely hood ornament for your Lada.
# Leader of the Opposition.
# Wall insulation when constructing a new home.
# At the carnival, use dead cats instead of balloons to play the dart game.
# Throw dead cat onto porch so you can wipe the mud off of your shoes before entering house.
# Christmas stocking stuffers.
# Put on a stick and use as a cannon barrel swabber.
# Airbag for bagpipes.
# Glue a whole bunch to your floor instead of carpeting
# If it's been sufficiently flattened by your car it would make a cool mouse mat.
# Hook claws of cats together to make retaining walls to prevent mudslides in California.
# Dead Cat: The other white meat.
# Fish bait for saltwater shark fishing.
# Mince well and use as packaging for expensive electrical items.

Librule womyn are usually butt fugly.
Damn it! I am math challenged . . . How do you expect those of us of nominal value to compute the axis of these points? I simply find the idea base, two. The more you math showoffs do this, the more the hatred for us who are math challenged increases: by factors and even exponentially or even geometrically. Besides, what is the point? If I knew that, I might be able to find a ray of hope in all of your machinations and permutations.

Besides the fact that you're, as usual, completely wrong, I shudder to contemplate how many times you cried yourself to sleep, futilely trying to get an erection while watching Susan Sarandon in Rocky Horror....

The very definition of futility is any person trying to get an erection from that bug-eyed beast Sarandon.

How deflating.
hi gang!
so the runaway bride and her fiance, are they now a--null set?

Of course, I have never really worked at a hospital, so that head anesthestiologist is an imaginary number.

I just got a near hysterical call from my ladyfriend wanting me to come over and remove a dismembered baby rabbit from her living room. Evidently, her cat, a known serial killer of mice and the occasional sparrow, dragged it in through the kitty door.

Cat's aren't fuzzy/warm/cuddly all the time - every cat owner knows that. They are extremely successful predators.

Alright this is strange. I clicked the "ok" button and nothing happened. So I clicked it again and to the message "You already posted that. Double Post."
The Wonderful World of Hell-o-scan.
Oh thank you Her eyes. Shall I have my boss call you?
(And I have a lot of fabric and thread. Ahem!)
Night, filk! Have a good one.
Cat's going jogging, huh?
Oh shit, too suspicious, eh? Um...oh yeah, that's right, he went mousing.
There's always Cinemax.
That's the problem!
bye--filkertom...carry a happy tune with you!
Tena - each variety can be visually represented by a different hair color troll.
Unless the troll dolls have opposable thumbs. In that case, we'll have to re-think it.
jdw,
Nah, but if I *were* a woman, I'm sure I'd look just like that.
patriotboy, i think you should get another kitty.
maybe not right away, but soon.
Central Scrutinizer, a woman? freaking-a.
and damn!
I suppose I'll get over it, but I'm not real happy about it right now.
CS - whatcha doin' this weekend?
Its a FUCKING CAT! MoveOn.org!
Like you guys moved on re: Schiavo?
Phila - we have got to do a troll bestiary.

Oh, I call illustrating.
Central S, um, er... that's one hell of a makeover!
CC: didn't think so...not many members of the female persuasion would go with an fz handle that's a cross between an industrial vacuum cleaner and a ...forgot..

Wait - those little troll dolls are so ugly they're cute. Our trolls are so ugly they're.......
I got nuttin'
Nah, but if I *were* a woman, I'm sure I'd look just like that.
I still think you're hot.
OT but . . . has anyone got a handle on how many soldiers (our children) have been killed in the last couple of days. I cannot keep it straight. Some news organizations are claiming four one day and five another and then there are conflicting reports.
If we actually had a news media, we might know. But I am aware that the runaway bride had 14 bridesmaids and had sent out 600 fucking invitations! (And there is a special on at eight tonight! Damn them. Damn them all!)
QL--
i'll call your supervisor and explain you are under house arrest for (insert favorite misdemeanor here) and then i'll parole you in time for eschacon.
That's the problem!
Time for a bike tour.

Well, it's under 600, that's for sure!
Dinner has arrived. Night all. Thank you for a pleasant day.
And Mom, it really wasn't all NTodd's fault. We all did it. (slinks away, hanging her head in shame.)
Time for a bike tour.

No, wait! Don't touch the bike!

Too late....

what "you guys?"
are the rules you have to defend the opinions and actions or every libdem even those diametrically opposed, while I have to do the same for all Republicans? Jeez, I thought librulez were all about individual thought?
Whoever posted that above, am I supposed to be flattered you think I use an thesaurus to post? Maybe you need to Increase Your Word Power a bit. I realize most posts here are monosyllabic sentence fragments, but I didn't think I was that esoteric, astute, erudite, verbose, fluent (actually I would do better than that if I actually DID use a Roget's)
But I am aware that the runaway bride had 14 bridesmaids and had sent out 600 fucking invitations!
that would be funny, if it weren't so fucking true.
Time for a bike tour.

Dammit pie! all over hte place.
QL - shh. you'll have everyone here calling me Mom, just like in real life.
And Mom, it really wasn't all NTodd's fault. We all did it.
Except me. I had nothing to do with it.
:-p
'night, QL
NTodd--isn't it raining in VT?
Well damn, I gotta get back to planting tomatoes.
See you Moonbats later!
I also find it interesting "you guys" find moral equivalence with starving a helpless human being to death and the death of a FUCKING CAT.
Clean sheets.
I have a shitty day at work, and return home to find the most recent thread almost 400 posts long and essentially dead.
Jennifer
Not to mention irredeemably befouled with troll ordure.
Isn't is time for a shift change? This one has really beat this topic thoroughly to death and then some.
where's Cheney with the cattle prod? Hey, Dick! go prod a new troll out of the cage, would you?
Oh, but...new threads!
NTodd--isn't it raining in VT?
It is, thus I won't be biking just yet.
what "you guys?"
Oh, gee, I'm sorry for assuming your asshat behavior indicated an alliance with the asshats who tried to make political hay with Schiavo. Please accept my humblest apologies. Turns out you're just a run-of-the-mill asshat.
sneaking back in for a sec (computer installation issues at a friend's house)
DWD- we'll never know the real numbers. i'm 100% sure they are lying thru their teeth, the fact that we can't even see the returning caskets tells us a great deal about how much they want to hide the facts. but i'm assuming that we've lost at least 2x the number of people they claim.

Wake up The Gimp!
NYMary, I am old. I am very, very old. I remember Jimmy Carter when his hair was still red. I came -this- close to be able to vote for George McGovern.
Shit. I voted for McGovern! My first time voting. And I'm not even close to being old!
Buck up!
The discouraging part was I was really, really sure he would win.
I was crushed when he didn't. 
Patriotboy -
My last cat, Junie Moon, died in my arms at 21 years of age. I cried and cried and felt her spirit in the house for nearly a year. I'm sure she was there.
Big hug for you.
Puppets, you are true slime and you will -- I repeat, you will, rot in hell.

Buck up!
Jenny from the ßlog - yeah, but what I didn't mention was my neighbor across the street just had invited me to be the 'date' of her aged pal's 'baby brother'. Got it? Baby brother of the old lady my young neighbor does the dutiful pseudo-daughter gig with? Baby brother's 69. Gee. Thanks.
No, I'm not that old.
GWPDA -
I hear ya. What an affront! Hope you gave her what for. Grrrrr.
Hey Puppets, thanks for confirming that the single unifying thread in the Republican party is that you're all assholes.
I suck royal Saudi dick and
Bush has a man date with me!
