I go on record now predicting that Weiner won't last the next 7 days. Resignation coming. We lose a real fighter to another zipper problem.

From facebook, commenting on Sarah Palin's re-telling of the Paul Revere story:

"There's a village in Alaska that is missing an idiot".

Some people are evidently born without a funny bone.

Literally Unbelievable

I, an opponent of capital punishment (and this was nothing else but a pre-emptive death sentence), sit with conflicted emotions. I am glad that the mastermind behind the 9/11 attacks has finally paid for his acts. I am troubled that I can find nothing wrong with the way justice was delivered. Maybe sometimes there's room for an exception? That is something I will have to deal with in the coming days. I can understand the crowds in the streets in various cities but, on the other hand, it has the stink of grave dancing to it. It should certainly give Obama a boost in the polls, but there is still 18 months to go before election day and the state of the economy and the state of the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan and the adventure in Libya will also weigh heavily. The symbolic value, today, of bin Laden's death is undoubtedly large, the practical value remains to be seen. All that being said, one unanswerable question looms large: How many people would be alive today had this been done 9 years ago? What would the state of the economy be today if the prolonged wars had been unnecessary. bin Laden's death 9 years ago would have cut the head off a still essentially nascent organization. bin Laden's death today is largely symbolic. As Sun Tzu said, "There is no instance of a country having benefited from prolonged warfare." Let's hope that today's action at least helps to bring to end the warfare currently underway.

Mel : “You need a f*cking bat in the side of the head. Alright, how about that?”

Mel: “Threaten ya? I’ll put you in a f *ckin rose garden you c*nt! You understand that? Because I’m capable of it. You understand that?”

Seems to me that both of those are, at the minimum, threats of violence, if not out-and-out murder threats. I suspect that if you were not a big Hollywood hero that they might be considered criminal offenses. So where are the police?

 

Tell the world what you are going to do for it. Tell it in clear and concise terms. The continual tearing down of your opponents, the continual fault-finding accomplishes nothing at all and, at times, leaves you with mud on your faces. Keep to the point. Keep it generally positive and you will change minds.

You have it very wrong. You served yourself on a platter to the media when you raped a 13 year old girl, pled guilty to the crime and then fled to avoid sentencing. The government had nothing at all to do with it. Hope that helps.

If Ben abused a dog would he be on his way to trial now? If Ben was Black would he be on his way to trial now?
