I'm sure lots of men have taken their organs out to look at Carrie Prejean.

skates...

6th commandment reads: You SHALL NOT kill.
It does not read: You shall not kill unless I ask you to.

homer battles stupid white men, with
help from .... a deranged albino.
D'OH !!

Palin couldn't outsmart a house plant.

Hey Steph, wear some Kotex pads under your arms this time just to be sure, k?

375 376 tie a onion to yer belt

#371 Yep, I saw it. The show was also a great spoof of the Da Vinci Code.

372: we couldnt get white loofahs, because of the war. - we'' go to shelbyville, and we'll do it live! AAAAHHHH! DEATH!! - now, where was i?

370 Margret Cho so funny!

367 pimps for parasites... I like it, I'm gonna use it

Last nite on The Simpsons
news anchor Kent Brockman
was doing the O'Biley 'do it live' rant

swear to god

I have no problem with lobbyists taking to legislators. They can talk until they're blue in the face. What I can't abide is the transfer of money in the form of campaign donations that give their voice an implied authority. Come'on, candidates know who their largest contributors are.

We need public financing of campaigns (including free air time).

#352 Margaret Cho has a joke about some dumb redneck calling her a chink. She's actually Korean, so she had to correct him and tell him he should be calling her a gook.

366: sounds like a hitchcock script.

True story --
People without health insurance probably don't have jobs that offer other benefits either, like sick time, so they wait until after work and usually end up in the emergency department which ends up costing TONS more money than if they had gone to a family doc who doesn't have to cover the overhead costs of all the equipment and staff that an emergency department has to have in order to handle emergency/life threatening treatments.

361. lobbyists = pimps for parasites

364 - they were all chicks. But they weren't playing..

364: they were each "playing" to different rhythms, so at least we know that they really were white.

Rob't Palmer video, skinny chicks w/guitars
they were all guys... urban legend? please advise

Ivan yes Clytemnestra is me

Blame the producer? Okay. (just kidding)

358 outlaw lobbying.
better yet just start killing lobbyists. It's not like they
are human, or even have valuable pelts. They are vermin,
a scourge. Kill Them All, God Will Know His Own. in this case
God will disavow all of them.

Ivan you can go here too http://orestia.blogspot.com/
sometimes I post different stuff on there

354: 2 years into the presidential campaign, hannity was still ranting that there's just no info about about obama - we dont know what the guy looks like - has he ever been in politics - is he a hamas muslim, an al quaeda muslim, or a regular saracen-sword-totin muslim? - it's just total secrecy. - nobody knows anything about this guy. --- if only they hadnt hidden all that stuff from hannity in a PDF.

Sen Stabinow - we know what the problem is. It's CONGRESS! Don't treat us like idiots.

True story
Dad with Medicare diagnosed with lung cancer gets surgery 3 weeks after diagnosis.
Sister-in-law with private insurance that brother pays through the ass for as a self-employed person is diagnosed with breast cancer and has to wait for chemo until payment is made ( insurance company considers chemo as a prescription drug instead of a medical treatment and they don't have prescription coverage) and has to wait for double mastectomy surgery until insurance company approves.
The only system that rations health care is the private/HMO system that rewards docs with "bonus" payments for keeping "costs" down.

Meanwhile Obama is talking the insurance agents in lab coats known as the AMA.

351: WTF would Rush Limbaugh know about finding a job? He's been a total zero his entire life, never really worked for a living.

do you all keep getting the ridiculous 'Obama you scare
me cause I don't know you blah blah' letter? Three times
morons have sent it. Including my mother. I asked her to
refrain w/the idiocy, still she keeps hitting the send button

How cool, Cindy! I'm going to have to catch up on your material on KOS.

I have a couple of blog entries over there, from months ago, I'm Iva Biggin on KOS. But it seems to me that writing a decent blog is more work than I'm willing to do, at least very often. (besides, I have a hot head which sometimes overcomes me and spoils my writing..).

Shots rang out in the dark

in Detroit two yahoos beat Vincent Chin to death
because he was of Chinese descent, and they were mad
a the success of Japanese automakers... neither scum
went to jail. Famous Ugly case here, w/ a recent anniversary

ah, yes, the threat of "losing" health care. limbaugh recently had a similar disconnect, in trying to scare people over obama: "do you want to wait a year for a job?" - just think of how awesome that would be, if it only took a year to get a job. - it is perhaps unwise to use a scare scenario that people will flock to in droves.

341: same question to Cindy!

Morning blogovitches ... now which one of you's been messing with my teevee?

Steph's on thuh TeeVee and looking exceptionally alluring
in her Madonna inspired 1980s trash brat ensemble
She's fetching in a WTF, uh, frock? or is that a... vest?
hooker shoes, multicolored Thigh High Toe Socks and a
Trashbag/dish strainer alpaca? sweater, shapeless sweatshirt &
jogging pants ball cap and just woke up hair.
She smells like plonk. She mentions she's feeling a little
drunk and slutty. Love that Girl.

Mark - yes that's me

Men, men, men, it's ship all filled with men
You'll never have to lift the seat
There's no one here but men
We're men and friends until the end
And none of us are missus
At night we'll sleep in separate beds
And blow each other kisses

Steph on the Tee Vee: Three Werdz Momma:
Magic
Purple
Sweater
!

337 the pinto... Lee Iacocca's Baby.
He burned a few on the Way To The Top

this is similar to mark levin's analysis of the very same sound bite, that it would be totalitarian government control, because medical institutions and insurance companies would still be required to meet some standards and follow some rules.

Sen Stabs!
Thanks Steph for the condolences
We did get drunk though
so it wasn't all bad
