Other Guy got brownies in the mail from like the Greatest American Happy Brownie Company or whatever that he saw on the tv and he brought them into my office to show me. Then he showed them to NG. Then he put them away. How messed up is that? Who thinks like that?
His brownies, I coveted them.
you should post the brownie pics comrade
Is he an Obama supporter? Then you should’ve just taken them, all but one.
If he complained, you should’ve told him he was lucky to still have that one, given how many brownie-deprived people there are in the world.
And now I’m going to have to go make brownies.
b/c having little girls locked up in the desk must be illegal and you do need to report it
You seem to be forgetting the greatest Social Experiment in American history under President Bush… his plan to democratize Iraq (a Muslim nation).
More than $5OO,OOO,OOO spent so far… estimated to cost 2 to 3 TRILLION DOLLARS.
But healthcare for Americans?
Oh, that’s socialism.
As a veteran I get lifetime FREE healthcare from my VA hospital… socialism
Healthcare for Americans is socialism? I did not know that.
democratising iraq is not socialist
the military is, tho, a very ‘socialist’ thing, if you’re using that to mean ‘all gov’t all the time;. that i’d agree with, and i’d go further to say its both necessary and good.
but i’d never extrapolate from that to propose the entire nation fall under militaristic policies. i mean listen to yourself, man, thats just crazy talk
Yeah, David. It’s health care for poor Americans that’s socialist. Get it straight.
nah, its the proposals for providing healthcare which may, or may not, be socialist.
is it the fed’s job to provide for your healthcare?
You didn’t capitalize comrade. It’s a title, like Doctor or Senator or Governor.
Comrades before Gonads.
i can’t easily capitilize right now. one-handed typing
I would say B. Milhouse Obama, Esq.’s vote to stuff babies in a coat closet until they died is just about as bottom feeding as you can get…
But his leaving his constituents in sewage filled public housing while his campaign supporters took public housing maintenance moneys just might be as low.
So that government run health care didn’t work out to provide the best care? Imagine.
To better prepare for the O!(pbuh), should I rent “Reds” or “Dr.Zhivago”?
anyway if libs are so hot for the free healthcare how come they don’t encourage more enlistments? hey, poor people – you can learn skills, get a career, and free healthcare – its even teh socialist goodness!!!
nah much rather spit and call em babykillers and shit. plus it wouldn’t be farming their votes properly
oh zhivago definitely. that part with that crazy anarchist on the train, played on a loop
mute when they play lara’s theme
More than $5OO,OOO,OOO spent so far… estimated to cost 2 to 3 TRILLION DOLLARS.
More than 500 mil? In 5 years? 100 million a year and Barack keeps chirping something about 10 bil a month? Let’s see, 3 tril divided by 100 mil, 30 thousand years of Iraq war value? Sounds like a great deal!
“But his leaving his constituents in sewage filled public housing”
Joe the Plumber could fix that.
They can share my guns, when they take them from my cold dead hands. Molon Labe!!
Two images this brings to mind:
Of course, Dr. Zhivago, from years ago.
The second, a visit I made to Cuba in 1993. Walking into a huge antebellum style mansion in La Havana, and seeing the rooms off the main hall all divided with blankets and cardboard. Whole families living in individual salons and bedrooms and makeshift areas. I thought I had stepped into Russia circa the Revolution. Except it was the 1990’s. But these folks have lived like this for decades.
Upside: Castro keeps the ganja flowing freely. Opiate of the masses, without all that crass commercialism seen on the TV. I got high just walking down the street. Nice sleepy socialism. Obama’s gotta give us at least that trade-off.
God! Imagine having a Swiss Cake Roll stand in Cuba. You.would.rake.it.in.
Pequeña Debbista?
You.would.rake.it.in. Just long enough to have it taken away.
miltypes? That’s some stupid socialist word isn’t it? There’s something very faddish about this whole Baracky brand of socialism. From the stupid rich liberal peoples I hear a lot of what choice do we have but to try socialism? That’s same as what they said when they bought a Prius or converted their swimming pool from chlorine to salt water. Has anyone else noticed that they speak of their reverence for Baracky in the same tones in which they speak of their reverence for Jon fucking Stewart? Could they be more shallow and creepy no they really couldn’t.
odd thing:
sometimes i bring up with my lib friends the idea of having an american foreign legion so immigrants could get a good route towards citizenship and learn skills, english, pay, etc
they typically think its an ok or even good idea. like for them b/c then they get someone else to do the shit work. which is just how they are.
conservative friends are the only ones who have misgivings b/c they don’t trust foreigners to be loyal soldiers.
Kind of like Obama’s America.
Could they be more shallow and creepy no they really couldn’t.
I think using the phraseology “They’ll find out he has steel in his spine” gives it a run. It’s altogether awkward, creepy, pathetic and oxymoronic in one bufoonish package.
The poor, why can’t they would just die already.
The poor, I wish they would just die already. The poor, why can’t they just die already.
Maybe you should give next month’s allowance check from Daddy to a shelter, thor.
“The poor, I wish they would just die already”
Ain’t no “poor” in America. Just a bunch of whiners who got shafted by the left and put the blame on everyone else.
an american foreign legion so immigrants could get a good route towards citizenship and learn skills, english, pay, etc
I think we already have that, sort of, but it’s not really like the French Foreign Legion.
Foreigners can join the regular military and get citizenship after a certain number (8, I think) years of service.
Lots of Filipinos do that.
I just wish the poor would just die of laughter when Baracky says he wants to help them out. “Yea, here’s $2,000 you poor schmo, now get away from me and stop looking me in the eye. Uh, someone get this guy some Garnier conditioner his hair is a mess.”
“The poor, why can’t they just die already”
Didn’t Michelle have Poor with Iranian cavier at the Waldorf?
In socialism we have n-somes.
cleo, David, nate
These your friends?
Explain to me why part of MY paycheck should be spread to them.
sbp –
yep, they do.
but my point was to show the opposing sides of that fence, where the logic seems to break down, esp. on the lib side.
also, an ot funny bit: was looking up the phrase ‘fly in the ointment’ in re: baracky’s socialism being that… turns out it comes from here but note the various translations! the modern e-z 2 read ones you find at the uu churches totally lose the meaning.
the military is, tho, a very ’socialist’ thing
It’s a tool. Blame the hand, not the knife.
not ‘blaming’ anything, mojo

“If you tax people who work and pay people who don’t work, don’t be surprised if you find a lot of people not working.” 18:50
““If you tax people who work and pay people who don’t work, don’t be surprised if you find a lot of people not working.†”
Or people working and not reporting their income.
If O! is elected would it be better to become a mexican and come back illegal?
there’s actually a tax levied on people who renounce citizenship
dre
for most wage earners in mid-large businesses, getting your wages in cash is impossible. And second or third parttime cash jobs will be too.
Not that a lot of us are trying to figure out how to get into an underground economy already.
semantic: You gotta be the boring-est fucking commenter I’ve ever read. Insipid. Boring. Blechh. Why don’t you take your smug hostility and see how far up your ass you can stick it? Do something constructive for a change. You’re wasting your time here, you 2-bit troll.
“When I said I’d be heading home to have a nice dinner with my wife, of course I meant with I’d be asking you home for a nice dinner with our wife…”
Makes sense Jeff G, when ya think about it…
Because according to O! we’re gonna, you know, spread the wealth around, Bra!…
O!
“there’s actually a tax levied on people who renounce citizenship”
Thanks Charlie “Why pay taxes” Rangel.
“To better prepare for the O!(pbuh), should I rent “Reds†or “Dr.Zhivagoâ€Â?”
If you’re looking to see a vision of the world that Ayers and Obama will try to bring watch The Damned.
If you just want a good movie then Dr. Zhivago.
I found Olby to be even more quiveringly indignant tonight, Madam! But, Senator, I soon discovered that he was celebrating the 2000th day since Olby went off the deep end and completely failed to understand what Mission Accomplishment meant, in context.
Possibly he could have misunderstood it further, and took it to mean that Bush, whose fault everything is, meant to say that Jesus’ mission on Earth was accomplished and we could all just gratefully off ourselves in the sure knowledge that we were SAYVED. But that would have been just a wee bit more crazy.
O! ran over grandma now she’s in the hospital
In our future brave new world, you will work, Obama will take the fruits of your labor as he sees fit, and you will LIKE IT.
Please memorize the following to make things easier after January:
“Thank you Sir, may I have another?”
That is all.
For now.
Bitches.
No. No you can’t.
A veteran should know how it actually works.
Interesting that Nate and David advocate VA style health care for either all Americans or at least for the poor.
God help ’em.
“He is going to demand that you shed your cynicism … that you come out of your isolation, that you move out of your comfort zones. That you push yourselves to be better. And that you engage. Barack will never allow you to go back to your lives as usual, uninvolved, uninformed.”
If you would like a somewhat lighter though still very dark look into the future through the mirror of the past, try Swing Kids. The music is good and it even has Dr. Wilson pre-House.
You have less of a clue than Nate and Dave.
BTW, do you speak English?
“WEST PALM BEACH, Fla. — Barack Obama will suspend campaigning for 24 hours later this week to visit his ailing, 86-year-old grandmother in Hawaii, his campaign announced tonight.”
http://www.boston.com/news/politics/politicalintelligence/2008/10/obama_to_halt_c.html
Does O! think the deal is done? Weird like sticking a fork salute somewhere? Maybe Dohrn groupies. Or “The Sting”? and O! is Lonegon.
…still mysteriously tuned into MSNBC, where I hear some woman with mouth-parentheses in close order a) make fun of Republicans for pointing out the obvious: you can’t give a tax cut to those with no tax burden, then: b) announce in complete seriousness the crucial breaking news that Barack Obama has quit his campaign, for the nonce, to attend to his grandmother, who has been a Very Important Influence on O!
Oh, I forgot the intermediate smirking from a professor of African American Studies. SNL couldn’t possibly make up anything funnier.
Barack Obama will suspend campaigning for 24 hours later this week to down play Joey Hairplugs remarks concerning war if O! is elected
to visit his ailing, 86-year-old grandmother in Hawaii, his campaign announced tonight. and now they’ve dragged Ana Marie Cox into the commentary. Please, stop. You’re killing me.
Oh, now she’s talking about airplanes and command towers. Clearly, she’s got a masterful grasp of both politics and journalism.
And now she’s used “Obamaland” in a sentence. Shoot me now!
Reds? Zhivago? No, Burnt by the Sun.
Next, it’s more indignant outrage, starring Keith Olbermann!
Keith
…was much more believable as a sports commentator.
Yes, I second Jeffersonian’s nod for Burnt by the Sun.
Or Carpenter and the Walrus.
“McCain to Vets: No upgrades to your 1945 GI Bill. go suck a rock…..”
Link it dickhead! O! sorry: you deal in EMOTION.
Screw that, just go for “1984”.
So why is the the O!fraud hanging in Hawaii in the last 2 weeks? Those internal polls must really suck.
He’ll probably have to retreat to Hawaii and build an underground lair after he fucks up the country with his socialism, run the country from a bunker and all that. He’s just preppin for the eventuality.
O, he also fears talking to people now, seeing how some guy named Joe just outed his as the biggest fraud for prez basically evah.
Late as usual, but #7 David misses the point that whatever veterans benefits we get are because they were earned through service, not given to everyone. And as RTO pointed out, all veterans do not usually get lifetime free healthcare.
Did Joey Hairplugs frighten O!?
Maybe it has menopause.
I’s obvious to me that you have no idea what you’re alking about. I keep wondering if you are aware of it at all.
Ignoring for the moment that you’ve completely misrepresented the Senator’s position did you see on my site where I agreed with his position? Did you see why I thought, and still think, the Webb bill was a bad idea?
“that would greatly expand educational benefits for members of the military returning from Iraq and Afghanistan under the GI Bill. ”
Oh Boo Hoo to giving money to a bunch of Marxists. FU academic asshole.
Wait until someone else figures out that all the welfare slackers and old folks are even less useful to the State than inactive military.
Oh noes! Its angry.
you won’t like it’s incoherence when it’s angry.
Winter is coming, are you looking for a place to sleep?
Winter is coming, are you looking for a place to sleep?

O!h yea O! in Hawaii
I know it frustrates you when we start to talk about things that are over your head and beyond your comprehension. You’d like to join in with everyone else when it seems like everyone is having fun. I felt that way when I was 8 too. But eventually I grew up and learned how to form coherant sentences and my understanding grew too. Your’s will also someday, though I can see why you may not think so today.
But just becasue your angry with yourself and frustrated with your small underdeveloped brain, you’ve go to understand that it’s not acceptable to throw poo at others or to engage in sexual harassment, even though it seems safe and anonymous online. If nothing else, you just can’t ever tell who you might really meet in person someday.
For now I suggest that you go to bed. Part of you problem is proabably just having trouble keeping track of what’s being said because it’s so far past your bed time.
G’night now.

poor widdle cleo
Oh, and when was it that thorboi said he’d bought more Japanese yen against the euro? October 6, wasn’t it?
Why, yes, it was.
Heh.
You’ve got a real talent for buying at the bottom, thor, I’ll give you that much.
“G’night now.”
Yes, you must be exhausted from seeking the solace of your peers. It’s a shame you don’t risk Harm’s Way by commenting on sites where your fascism is not welcomed with the warm arms and succor you so nobly seek in your quest for camaraderie.
Bless you my sincere and well-intentioned child…..
Oh, you’d be wrong about that too, ‘cleo. But at least that comment isn’t weapons grade stupid like this is:
You really have no fucking clue whatsoever as to what you’re talking about. Why do you make proclamations out of such utter ignorance?
See, I was in the military in the 80’s and I didn’t have a GI Bill at all.
I have no open positions in my forex account right now, wittle empty header. I only trade currency when there’s enough volatility to actually make money. I had 13 different contracts collared with stop-limits (including stop losses) going at once. If they hit the stop loss price they got sold if they went up I moved the stops up underneath ’em. Maybe you should have engaged a few of those MBA’s who set the curve in your math classes. That’s why I’ll be covering your coming social security checks with my cap gains on my Yen contracts. The fuckin’ Yen pounded the British Pound and the Euro. My last four contracts – the winners that just kept winning – were all long Yen contracts.
That’s how you do it, faggot, namely, you let the market reveal strength – you don’t wave a flag and bellow Reaganesque platitudes like a Republican queer. There’s no fealty for God and country in trading currency, there’s only evil profit, of which I grabbed me my share. You? Didn’t think so.
thor, did you make money or did you just blow a bunch of guys? You’re screaming between the lines there, little zero.
“um, you might want to look at HuffPo. seriously. he’s a masochist that way sometimes. ;p”
I guess he’s too busy to speak fer hisself. You Maggie, fear the whip
I have no open positions in my forex account right now
Why, did they cut you off?
Maybe you should have engaged a few of those MBA’s who set the curve in your math classes.
If by “setting the curve” you mean “dropping after the first homework set”, you have a point.
of which I grabbed me my share.
And yet, oddly, all of your claims of “profit” are retroactive. Every one you’ve announced in advance has gone in the tank.
Keep spinning, braggart. You’re an incompetent playing with Daddy’s money.
looks like it. he’s busy typing away elsewheres. but I let him… he’s done a lot since he got home today.
every time cleo sez “fear the whip” I get the giggles… I get a vision of cleo as one of the dwarfs dancing around a tiny Stonehenge on stage with Spinal Tap
LOL, Darleen, thanks for that.
or a Dr. dwarf with a needle about to give you a spinal tap. Ugh, don’t take the brown acid.
“You’re screaming between the lines there,”
Go fuck yerself. He dismantled yer straw and stick houses and built himself
a brick and mortar response.
Know it.
“I get the giggles…’
I suspect the giggles are of a more visceral variety.
Like most Leftists, cleo is a coward, capable of little more than passive-aggressive blather.
belly laughs? you betcha! I scared teh kittehs.
It puts the lotion on it’s skin
It does this whenever it’s told.
I don’t think there were any MBAs at all in my ODE or PDE classes. None at all even in the relatively easy Advanced Calc, and none in Numerical Methods. Which math classes were those MBAs enrolled in, I wonders?
Which math classes were those MBAs enrolled in, I wonders?
In another thread, I mentioned a graduate modeling and simulations class, which was cross-listed all over the place. Physical scientists, engineers, social scientists, computer scientists, and MBAs all signed up.
None of the MBA guys made it through the first homework set.
Where I did undegrad, they had a special “business calculus” class.
That’s a neat trick, given that he wasn’t responding to me, ya fuckin’ halfwit.
You’re the most senile dick here. And that you have all day to spend on a message board calling people names says all that needs to be said, don’t’cha think, dick?
“thor went fishin’ and didn’t catch no fish, ha!” (actually I caught two snook) “thor gets a check from his daddy” (we keep two-million of our family trust in cash, but I since have trading authority over it I’ve added tax-frees lately, nothing risky, and my distrubution from the trust last year was a mere $25K) “thor lost his daddy’s money” (actually my partner in California and I transferred $5K each from our corporate accounts into a Forex account and played around a bit, we made a little over $1600 and transferred it back already)
The reality I live in versus sPie’s spin is quite boring. Nothing to see here.
‘Cleo as a child.
What my wife and I do in private is none of your business.
I think thorboi’s getting a little perturbed, don’t you?
Heh.
Back in the trollbin you go.
You’re as boring as you are stupid and assholish, sPies.
Hey you up there. No, you. No, the other guy. Yeah, you. Fuck you.
MissKKKleo’s PRE traumatic stress disorder is in over-drive today.
Temper tantrum toward our Signal Corps NCO aside, ‘cleo – I would encourage you to do a bit more basic research on us “miltypes” and what the G will or will not do for us. I’ve got a couple years in the Reserves, 4 Active, the rest Guard. You have misportrayed the Guard/Reserve side of the house as being some sort of second tier/second class citizens.
A good start is http://www.va.gov. It is a much better site than it used to be.
Ya know, I had six semesters of math classes, and while the first one or two may have had MBA students in them, I’m sure as hell none of the others did.
Hell, I can (sadly) say I’ve forgotten more mathematics than most MBAs even suspect exists.
Question, y’all: Is impending collectivism responsible for the clearly stupider left-troll commentariat?
Recently thorboi lost his sinewy sense of humor. So maybe collectivism isn’t assured. Grrr.
Or people working and not reporting their income.
Exactly, dre.
Sitting down with my accountant last year, I had a genuine “come to Jesus” moment when he explained that after taxes, teaching two classes for my local community college in the summer came near to costing me money.
I swore to my wife right then that I would never work a taxable job in the summer again. I worked handyman jobs this past summer and actually made money.
Same thing happened with my mom once Cowboy. She worked like 120 hours in 2 weeks and ended up hitting a higher tax bracket or something. She ended up getting half of her paycheck taken and only pulling in a couple hundred more dollars than she woulda have made working 80 hours.
Its that damn privilege Cowboy. Suck it up and bear it like a man. For the people and all that.
Biden questions your patriotism, Cowboy.
Cowboy, Mr. Pink
At the risk of repeating myself from another thread … Arthur Laffer was on Dennis Prager’s show last Friday (he has a new book out: The End of Prosperity
How Higher Taxes Will Doom the Economy–If We Let It Happen and one of the money quotes … a real “good lord, common sense!” … was
If you tax people who work and pay people who don’t work, don’t be surprised to find a lot of people who won’t work
“Who the fuck are you and why should I give a shit what you think, asshole.”
An active duty soldier, asshole.
And a better man than you could possibly dream of being.
Asshole.
“If you tax people who work and pay people who don’t work, don’t be surprised to find a lot of people who won’t work”
The saying in the Soviet Union was, “They pretend to pay us, and we pretend to work.”
This could all be avoided with a Constitutional Amendment for a line item veto. Not by the President, but by individual taxpayers. We should be able to pick and choose which government programs we contribute too, with exceptions being emergency care services and such things as the DMV,FBI and our Armed Services. That would be some change I would believe in. Especially an opt out for Social Security that would be great.
Who the fuck are you and why should I give a shit what you think, asshole.
I love it when a troll succinctly (if inadvertently) sums up the opinion of the community he pretends to torment. The irony, it is delicious.
Stay tuned for tomorrow’s installment, wherein the window-licker mocks a statistician for pretending to understand opinion polling!
I got distracted when Tolerant Thor started calling people “faggots”.
Fixed it for ya, faggot.
Is it true you once made sixteen hundred dollars, thor?
Racist.
SS is in the Constitution, Pink. Just ahead of the part on government schools. Or so it would seem.
Racist.
(Currently on NPR, who’s bigassed centrist education policy is best. Questions about why we’re in bigassed centrist education policy? Nope.
Not All Things Considered, communists.)
One could make a career out of psyco-analyzing thor.
Jeff G, your thesis isn’t new:
However, when dealing with the clue-challenged (thor, take a bow), repetition is necessary.
Semen doesn’t even read her own links….
Of course, not thinking Semen’s way is the real sin. “My thoughts or no thoughts!”
Nikkolai, wouldn’t that be like a career as a honey wagon driver? Why make a career watching shit?
Thor is yet another incarnation of the “Liberal Internet Hero.†You know the type:
1. He has never lost money in any market.
2. He has a highly lucrative, high-profile job that he can’t reveal, but take his word for it: he makes infinitely more money than you.
3. He has had several careers, all either Very Important, or secretive. Count on at least one being military and/or espionage. Even though he’s only 25.
4. He has never even been in the same room with an unattractive woman.
5. He can have any woman he wants.
6. He is ALWAYS right, regardless of the evidence to the contrary.
He is, in short the picture of Walter Mitty. But without the humor of the movie. A two-dimensional human being, trapped in an excruciatingly dull and anonymous life by his own lack of talent, skill and ability.
