• Sen. John McCain (R-AZ) said yesterday that any added military deployment in Afghanistan smaller than the 40,000 troops reportedly requested by the top U.S. commander there “would be an error of historic proportions.” McCain also said that the war there could not be won with fewer than the 40,000 troops requested.

#273: I always thought Cage was doing his Elvis impression throughout the movie. He was on a roll where he did Elvis in every movie. I hadn't seen much Keanu Reeves up to that point, so I never made the connection. So, you think he was channelling Johnny Utah or Jack Traven?

"Put... the... bunny... down"

There's nothing socially redeeming inthe movie, that's for sure, but for a mindless goof, I really enjoyed it.

To each, their own, I guess.

#258: Columbus doesn't do SPARTA.

Great show! Have a wonderful rest of the day.

Bye all! Mama, remember Broadway doesn't go for booze and dope

Time to head out. See you all on November 9 (my next day off from work).

#269 Con Air is a great movie except for Cage. It's like everyone was working on Con Air except for Cage, he was just doing a Keanu impression.

Oh, my breakfast!

Bye all.

and where would Katie be during all this?

Read that news story before each meal and watch the pounds melt away.

I love Con Air. It's so bad, it's great!

How many movies does Nick Cage need to do to pay his taxes?

That's what you get for ruining Con Air.

that's an excellent keanu baldwin.

#263 Larry Craig was practicing his tap dancing in the stall...while seated...with a wide stance.

#261 Very true. My bad.

#260 Didn't Larry Craig have a foot tick? Tap tap tap...

260: go ask glenn beck what's shakin.

#259 Except for that Congressman from FL.

Being gay is equated to a nervous tick?

#256 Me too, but we know the Democrats don't have balls or spines.

Looks like no Sparta for us today. Hey, I tried!

Blue Ball Democrats! Luv it!

249: the lighter, the better.

"ka-ro,
ka-a-a-ro
karo come and me wanna go home".

247. Yes, thank-you. Oh and Thelma and Louise

235 pablo pigasshole

he's got a RW radio show now

247: i think you mean jack palance, who some say sticks to the colon wall like curly fries or a lemon wedge wrapped around a bronk.

240 good one
ditint think o'that

#246 Could be worse. Remember contagion, the cult of a simple mayon, we settle our stomachs, we do what we can.?

241 lighter fluid: great lube

244: "posterior chain cephalobics" ?

238 I think you mean White Palace, not White Castle.

It's spackle and paste time!

Chris, time to sabotage her chair or computer after that remark

no, the asshats are coming out into the light to be exorcised.

240: which means that if the gods play chess with the universe, the augering is only beginning. - in chess, nobody can see you bluff.

"i dont believe in psychology; i believe in good moves"
- bobby

240 think = thing

239: i learned how to masturbate with fire, just to play it safe.

234, the only think you can do in that situation is bluff.

"Build a man a fire, and he'll be warm for a day.
Set a man on fire, and he'll be warm for the
rest of his life." -- Neil Gaiman

I'd so love to help keep Rush keep warm for the
rest of his life.

or as I've said, 'Masturbate a Man, he comes once.
Teach a man to masturbate he'll come for the rest
of his life"

Favorite Sarandon movies: Bull Durham, Rocky Horror Picture Show, White Castle

234: o,men that was good.

224, yea that is unfortunate. I hope he is just focusing on health care and plans to fix DADT when that is done. But if he still doesn't get heath care despite the focus, I'm going to be pissed that he didn't get anything.

the problem with the arts getting hit real bad, is that they wind up all looking like venus de milo and scribblings of pablo pigasshole.

"God does not play dice with the universe; He
plays an ineffable game of His own devising,
which might be compared, from the perspective
of the players, (ie everybody), to being involved
in an obscure and complex version of poker in a
pitch-dark room, with blank cards, for infinite
stakes, with a Dealer who won't tell you the rules,
and who smiles all the time."
--Neil Gaiman/Terry Pratchett

#232 A gentleman doesn't dream and tell!

230: i wasnt going to ask WHERE you kissed ms sarandon, thoe the question did occur.

he has quite a list, but not as much as stephy after a pan-galactic glory-hole inverter.

Ironically, I dreamed last week that I kissed Susan Sarandon on the set of a movie that we were both working. Sorry for the REM-transgression, Mr. Robbins.

226: ironic that your penetrating twist doesnt auger well.
