Well, fellow Mookenbloggsters, that's it. I've HAD it with you all today!

Hasta manana, hijitos!

Hey, Bloggoes! It's been a blast today. Thank you all! Have a great Wednesday! :mrgreen:

Buh Bye!

266 Quit outsourcing our sluts!

Later, my little monkies!

#319 - Wouldn't it be more satisfying to take the Bible out of their hands and force them to read/listen to the whole quote, in-context, and watch their fragile paradigms crumble in the face of logic and rationality, as they become hollow shells, understanding the betrayal of their hyper-conservative leaders, political and theological?

Destroying a human being from the inside is much more satisfying than abusing them physically.

Dubya + douche...how fitting

#322 Rachel is a goddess!

#317 OReilly's going to learn the hard way that you can't outcrazy a crazy man. It should be fun to watch.

Of course you realize, the Conspicuous Christian Contingent (tm) of the Republican Party, who is pushing all this idiotic crap about abortion, is completely convinced that Gawd told them to do so..

320 -- I think that was originally Lubbock, TX, and oh, boy is that true. LA? I could see spending a few more years there. Maybe once I'm done transitioning, I'll think about that.

#312 Rachel Maddow talked about it last night, I expect it to make the rounds of left wing media all this week.
It won't matter, in right wing world if you don't like the president, all rules and decorum are cancelled.

@313 - As Steph said, she's going to be bi... :)

Happiness is L.A. in the rear view mirror..

If a teabagger tries to quote the bible to me at any point in the future, I'm grabbing the book outta his/her hand and beating his/her with it.

*smiles beatifically at Duane*

314 -- A movement dedicated to perpetrating a gypsy curse. oy.

Scooter, he's doing 20 to life in Marion.

312....sure have...pathetic

But remember what follows?

9Let his (O)children be fatherless
And his (P)wife a widow.
10Let his (Q)children wander about and beg;
And let them (R)seek sustenance far from their ruined homes.
11Let (S)the creditor seize all that he has,
And let (T)strangers plunder the product of his labor.
12Let there be none to (U)extend lovingkindness to him,
Nor (V)any to be gracious to his fatherless children.
13Let his (W)posterity be cut off;

wait, steph is moving to nyc? is this a second home or is she leaving la for good?

Have you heard about the: Pray for Obama - Psalm 109.8, crowd?

It reads:
May his days be few; may another take his place of leadership.

SICKENING!

Skyhawke, thy noble Spartan! I yield to thee, and reveal My Neuropathetic Inner Self (tm).. And offer thee the Vicodin than JanIncarnate didn't want..

Janincarnate, how's you're brother Evil doing? We went to high school together, I think.

One never has to guess where Janincarnate's heart is or how she feels. Love that Jan!

Now, tell us how you REALLY feel.

Glenn Beck can lick an outhouse. Stupid, pasty-faced, ignorant dickhead.

Congrats Skyhawk!

Yay, Skyhawk! Spartaman!

Skyhawk wins the Leonidas Cup™! Yay!

The Constitution has much fewer pages, but how many times has it been challenged in a court of law?

If you want a piece of legislation to not be taken apart by companies trying to get around provisions in the law, it has to be detailed and specific.

SPARTA!!! :mrgreen:

@287 - Have you tried acupunture? My mom uses it for her sciatica pain and it works wonders for her. The dr. she was seeing at the time just kept telling her to take another pain pill, but all they ended up doing was making her loopy and they never took away the pain.

#293 - No reason to feel icky about it. Unless you're Glenn Beck. Or a rapist. =P

Yea... saw that clip on Maddow last night, too. I was just as stunned silent.

Glenn Beck :roll:

i feel really icky after that clip

#289 Vicodin can cause a dam problem (got a family member on it, she has told me several times how bound up she is, even though I don't want to know).

palin is crazy...that's the truth

Damn, Hal said it before I could type it.

Ivan, I hate Vicodin, but I have the same damn problem. I'll settle for Aleve.

Are you sharing, or do we have to bring our own?

Yii. Neuropathy pain is starting up for me, the initial state I call the Heeba Jeeba's, just a very uncomfortable nervy feeling, restless legs. Time for a Vicodin..

Join me, anyone?

270 - Swayze in "Too Wong Foo..." is not so shabby, either.

We miss you, Ms. Vida Boheme.

Hal is an honorary Mookskateer..

#277 I've seen Otto and George live. I thought they were funnier on the radio. Very funny on the radio.
