Here was Iowahawk’s take on Teh Pledge.
Point/Counterpoint takes on the Israeli-Palestinian mess:
Don’t get me wrong. It’s not like I love the Palestinians. After all, they’re Muslims, and all Muslims are trained to be suicide bombers at an early age. So, I don’t like that. Also, the way they pray frightens me, and their skin color is different from mine, so that doesn’t bode well for them, either. However, I can’t start hating the Palestinians as much as I hate the Jews, because then how am I supposed to carelessly assign blame to one specific group of people? I’d be right back to square one!
No thanks. I’ll stick to vilifying the Jews, if you don’t mind. Makes the whole entire thing a lot easier to sort out.

Comment by Ras Iadonis Tafari on 11/5 @ 12:15 am # |Edit This
It sad that so many people, or rather, human animals gave such instinctually racist responses to your “nagging sense†of the similarities and differences between Barack H. Obama and H.I.M. Haile Selassie I. Currently, I am working on this very study and now since Sen. Obama is NOW President Elect Barack Obama it will be easier to list these facts and factors.
It is interesting to discover that Barack Obama is highly influenced by Emperor Haile Selassie.
Like Senator or PRESIDENT ELECT Barack, H.I.M. Haile Selassie I was born from parents of different ethnic backgrounds – in his case the three main Ethiopian ethnicities of Oromo, Amhara and Gurage. The difference is that the Ethiopian Emperor is not “bi-racial†in that sense of the word.
After having played a leading role in the formation of the Organization of African Union, His Imperial Majesty, Haile Selassie I was (and still is) known as a uniting figure both inside Ethiopia and around Africa.
Thus here is a few similarites that need further scrutiny. Will President Elect Obama be this for the United States of America? Will he even be “allowed†in this still racially charged and cynical atmosphere have the real opportunity to ‘change’ or at least introduce America into the 21st Century? That is one difference yet the choice is America’s, both the Anglos and everyone else that has melted into the pot.
There’s more yet this is the election night and there is still much being broadcast on all the networks and more to come. If interested, kindly contact as we will be posting on our YouTube channel some insights into this subject matter.
In Spirit and Truth,

The Pledge!
What a bunch of pop-culture messiah worship BS, by the usual, vacuous, Hollywood suspects…
Does anyone think for a moment that if the same thing had been done for Booooooosh! that the left wouldn’t have been melting down with comparisons to the personal oaths of allegiance to Hitler that Germans in the military, civil service, and the Nazi party were required to take..?
That Proves it! He’s BusHitler!
Just another reminder of the double standards and hypocrisy of our palavering port side pals…

Best Wishes to all…
I pledge to reduce my use of plastic bottles by buying the necessary tubing needed to extend my kitchen sink’s dish-rinser thingy so that it’ll reach my den, bedroom and couch which will allow me to squirt bursts of water straight into my belly wherever I roam. That and I pledge to break into hysterics if ever I’m asked to wear a condom.
These is much to be done and I pledge to do my part.
I am glad Zo found a gig, dude is on time.
I’ll have to watch Zo later – (internet is spotty right now), but I took a pledge. I pledged (bascially) to show at least as much support for Obama as the left showed to Bush. They’ve set the bar … I promise to at least keep pace. I’ll go no lower.
Also, I pledge to insure that no one I know freezes to death due to the
Global WarmingClimate change. Michigan’s got about 7 dead so far.That number could go up, of course, once our record snowfall melts. I’ve got some strange bumps in my yard, but I’m pretty sure most of that is just junk the kids left outside.
That’s pretty bad, Carin. Doesn’t Obama care about them?
I can get down with the Funk of the United Funk of Funkadelica, but my favorite one is, “To find a cure for Alzheimer’s?”
I’m not sure, but I’m wondering if they were strict AlGore followers? How one can freeze to death with the expected warming is beyond me.
The one guy was a really old dude who had his electricity turned off. Thing was – they say he had cash paper-clipped to the utility bills in his house. People are OUTRAGED at the evil, capitalist Energy company … and I’m wondering where the hell his family and neighbors were that they couldn’t deliver a bill someplace for him.
Guy was a WWII veteran, Carin, from what I read. Terrible story, frozen to death in his bathroom with 4 layers of clothing on.
Peggy Noonan is a dirty gutter snipe, who is now a camp follower for Barack Obama. She is trying to pick up tricks from the occasional Administration staffer and bitter than Sarah Palin is more attractive at 40 than she ever was.
Oh, and Alfonzo Rachel’s rant, while delivered with a witty and sardonic style, is spot on! He’s had some other interesting ones throughout the ’08 campaign…
Of course, like Prof. McWhorter, Walt Williams, and Thomas Sowell, I’m sure that he’s some kind of sell-out, Uncle Tom, self-hating suck up to the oppressing majority…
The part about Hollywierd is priceless
Oh goody! It’s starting to snow again!
Curse you Al ‘Snow Meister’ Gore!
I’m with Carin on this one. Where the heck was this man’s family? How could they let one of their elederly family members essentially die due to neglect!?
A sad and shocking event…
I pledge to add insult to injury to the wounded psyches of free market mouseketeers.
I’m reminded of a Gordon Downie free verse:
I want into your town
I wander into your town
It’s a bad time to be poor
Because we don’t give a shit no more
We want help, don’t look what’s in store
The stakes are drawn, and why must I
Haven’t I done enough to burn out
Haven’t I been there to help out
Yes, it is sad. But, honestly, where were his neighbors? Friends? Family?
Other stories, though, are of people who wandered off. One was a kid who didn’t come home and was found frozen on a lake. Not IN the lake. Just on it.
We don’t give a shit no more, except all the people that donate time and money to the poor. Oh, and except for all the welfare programs we support with our taxes.
Oh, and except for all the family members I’ve helped out in crises.
The best way to help the poor is to give them a job. My husband just hired a guy who’d been unemployed for almost a year.
Of course, if we really wanted to help the poor, we’d let the Climate Change happen, and then the homeless wouldn’t freeze to death in Detroit.
But honestly, he was 93, where do you think his friends and family are? Buried six-foot deep, that’s where.
Hiding behind a responsibility-of-others construct doesn’t cut it. If you cut off someone’s electricity in the dead of winter and if they croak because of it then you are not only liable but a scumdogged asshole. What do you think this is, Russia?
I pledge to add insult to injury to the wounded psyches of free market mouseketeers.
Don’t hurt me hammer.
My Grandpa is 93 … and he has both family and friends. And neighbors.
Regarding Ras’s comment, what’s “sad” was that he seemingly couldn’t pick up on the fact that the “instinctually racist responses” proffered by the “human animals” consisted of:
1) The immediate, obligatory insinuation that you were racist for making a comparison between two sorta black men, and
2) Three or so sarcastic responses to said insinuation
Lesson learned. Do not employ sarcasm when someone stupidly flops the race card, lest you be found doubly racist.
I mean, I have a problem where we’ve decided that corporations and the government somehow should be MORE responsible for our welfare than actual folks. Shit, I barely trust to deliver my mail, I’m certainly not going to trust them with my life.
And, the utility companies? A profile in incompetence.
They put a regulator on his meter. It regulated him to death.
If so, the regulator was apparently set to zero.
Your grampappy is relevant, duuh queen, to the extent that if he dies as a frozen hobo some might use his death as the basis for a snarky climate change rejoinder.
to the extent that if he dies as a frozen hobo some might use his death as the basis for a snarky climate change rejoinder
Whereas if he could have held out until August, he would have been an Al Gore Poster Boy.
Truthfully,
I’m a bit surprised that in truly blue Michigan, where Democrats and big labor rule, kinda like the people’s republics of NY, CA, and MD, that the utility would even be allowed to interrupt someones services during the winter…
Carin? maybe you can speak to this with more authority…
And I still think his Family/Friends/Neighbors should have been lookin’ out for the fellow a bit better. On my block, most of the folks are elderly or disabled, with one exception. When it snows, myself and this other gentleman do all of the shoveling of the walks, driveways, and stoops; as well as making sure that they don’t need anything from the store, etc…
That’s part of what makes me shake my head, agog with incredulity, over how this could happen…
Articles such as this on the 93yr old fellow’s death leave me cold. Shivering for want of clarity in detail. Instead we get bare ruined choirs of sketchy outlines of we know not what. Yet everyone in their rush to self-warming morality will seize upon something, anything, everything, burn it to the ground for vitality’s sake. Feh. People die. Hold an inquest.
Gee, and if you don’t get your mail you’d risk death, is that it?
Selling electricity comes with a responsibility, that’s why it’s regulated. Would you like an explanation of that responsibility? Some of your customers are old and feeble and, as the news article clearly explained in this particular case, they may not have any living relatives. To believe that an electric company has never encountered this reality is to believe in the Great fuckin’ Pumpkin.
For a lonely old man, a WW2 vet, to die because the electric company didn’t take their responsibility seriously is a what we call a symbolic moment, ya mush head.
Maybe you rhetorical slaves of endless political warring might look beyond your smitten noses.
Me, I’d tend to want all the facts in the case before leaping to conclusions.
But that’s just me.
You know what we need? An all seeing eye…like maybe a webcam, a sort or reverse TV kind of deal so that your benevolent government can make sure you’re OK, and not freezing, sweating or starving to death. For your own good, naturally.
If the concept works out, it could be expanded to help you get your Two Minutes Hate on. I’d don’t see how this could go wrong.
So true, a responsibility not to electrocute anybody for starters. Death shocks are bad for business.
It wasn’t the electric power company that put the limiter on, it was the city.
Which…well, thor, you’re welcome to soapbox against incompetent government. I’d be with you on that one.
Your grampappy is relevant, duuh queen,
So is the assumption that because he’s 93, everyone he knows is dead. Of course, that’s not true, so it’s irrelevant. His neighbors knew him, as did his nephew.
For a lonely old man, a WW2 vet, to die because the electric company didn’t take their responsibility seriously is a what we call a symbolic moment, ya mush head.
Actually, Michcon, my electricity supplier, actually DOES have no-turn off issues for the poor and elderly. This example demonstrates why I’m a believer in taking care of myself, and not entrusting my welfare to government or utility company. There is OUTRAGE at the utility company because they should have done more than the neighbors and family member did:
It’s nice that the neighbors are concerned NOW. It’s a shabby way to treat a veteran.
I’m not arguing that there shouldn’t be policies in place (there are in Detroit utilities to insure that such doesn’t happen) … I’m merely chagrined at the attitude where government and/or large utility companies bear the brunt of responsibility. All it takes is a phone call to Michcon to tell them you are elderly, and you get put on a senior’s program.
We need for electricity companies to knock on doors and to assess the ramifications of turning off the electricity on a 93-year-old who answers the door. We also need for idiots who make excuses for electric companies to grab a fuckin’ shovel and dig some graves in the frozen ground. They need to get a good long look at what their empty headedness and heartlessness rises to the defense of.
Shit like this happens in third-world countries, like Russia. I’m American enough to understand why it shouldn’t happen here.
Again, thor: it wasn’t the electric company.
See, utility companies just need to KNOW their customers and take concern … @@.
It’s a city owned electric company, slart.
Hey, the guy who put the limiter on was just doing his job.
There are lots of people who like just doing their jobs in Michigan. That’s why the economy’s booming.
It’s a city-owned and -operated utility, Pabs.
And, again, I’m not making excuses for the electric company. I see limitation in big government and big business. To know and be concerned? I’m just being realistic.
Shit, my house was filling with water, but do you think the Water Department cared? And, as it turns out a major part of the problem is the sewer system is/was clogged. The CITIES sewer system – an ongoing problem for four years. Again, do they care? no.
I can’t link to it, though. Somehow anytime I try to put a link to it in a comment, it gets rejected.
baycitymi dot org slash utilities slash Electric slash About percent 20 us dot htm
Here’s a link to the AP story that describes the situation with how the utility in Bay City is run.
I had that problem too, slart. I suppose I might be more helpful if I was actually seeing thor’s comments. But that would be a waste of time.
At any rate, I was just pointing out that it is the electric company while it also is the city. Maybe TinyURL will work: http://tinyurl.com/bsu5tt
So, basically, it’s a city-government run utility. HEY, let’s let them run our healthcare too!
Emotional outrage, chest thumping moralism, over a distant death like this is a precisely typical spur to our loss of freedom of action. Must not happen again. Must institute controls. Because we know all. Unintended consequences? What unintended consequences?
Tiny URL did work, but linking to the About Us page would have been more informative.
I blame Edison and Tesla. If they’d just left well enough alone, all of these complicated and unrealistic responsibilities would never have arisen.
No, I’m sorry to inform you, Carin, but nothing about you nor anyone you know is of any concern to the corpse, you narcissistic little snot, nor did lack of family and neighborly concern kill this man. Lack of electricity killed the guy. Electricity companies know all too well of their public responsibilities. They are at fault, 100%.
I care not that you suffer from demented Monument-of-Self-Reliance fantasies, other that to point out the pathetic nature of your psychosis.
I do have a bit of a problem with the “veteran” stuff. Do you suppose they had his account marked “Veteran!!!” Should they? And when it comes to potentially life threatening policies, should it matter?
I’m not pleased with the city here, but I’m even less pleased with his friends, family and neighbors. Clearly, the guy was of diminished mental capacity. When you don’t have the awareness to keep from freezing to death, someone needs to be looking after you and apparently, no one was.
Everybody stinks in this one.
I think we should all get together and sue the city, then.
I pledge to give oral sex to the ugly.
Oh, thank God.
I mean…it’s been a while, Dan.
I Blame Booooooosh!No, wait…When did this occur..?
I blame Obama!
thor, honestly you are deranged. Pointing out my situation was to merely illustrate that the governments is UNABLE to care for, or be concerned with the plight of any one individual. BUt, I know, you prefer to take swipes and name-call instead of recognizing my point. That’s why so many people Trollhammer you.
53-55 are making me a tad uncomfortable.
I was speaking in the fourth person, Carin. I mean, it’s one that they skipped.
I’m gonna blame Jenny Granholm. She just doesn’t care about the elderly.
“We need for electricity companies to knock on doors and to assess the ramifications of turning off the electricity on a 93-year-old who answers the door. We also need for idiots who make excuses for electric companies to grab a fuckin’ shovel and dig some graves in the frozen ground. They need to get a good long look at what their empty headedness and heartlessness rises to the defense of.”
Interesting scenario. What’s the over/under on:
1) Number of times per week the electric company would be sued.
2) Percent rise in electric rates for everyone.
3) Number of people who would consequently be unable to afford their electric bills and thus freeze.
Is that more headless, or heartless?
So, when you wrote “I” … you really meant …? , I think Slart really wants to know.
I was speaking as a Hollywood celeb. A female one, because I’m homophobic. NTTAWWT?
I mean, why does Jennifer Aniston hate us?
That was very notnice of her I think.
She must not have pledged. Hater.
grab a fuckin’ shovel….
We use backhoes nowadays. By the way, which Operators Local are they in, these shovel grabbers?
They were meant to make you a tad uncomfortable. You’re too easily moved to reactionary hate and name-calling toward your fellow man, a defenseless 93-year-old widow in this case.
I’m guilty too, but it makes me feel better about myself to call others out.
I pledge to be more charitable to Carin’s feelings.
I pledge not to call thor any more names until he calls someone else a name.
Let me be clear (see, I’m picking up Obama-speak already!), your naming calling doesn’t make me uncomfortable. Dan promising Slart oral sex did. But, we’ve cleared all that up (and I don’t think Slart’s gonna get that BJ anyway…)
But, please, show me where I called the 93 y/o man a name? Or his neighbors?
The problems arise, such as these, when everyone assumes someone ELSE is watching out for those in need. The nephew prolly assumed the neighbors were . The neighbor’s assumed the nephew was. They both prolly assumed the electric company wouldn’t shut it off w/o insuring the guy understood what was happening. The electric company, being a part of government, runs w/o making any assumptions. It just follows policy.
The more government takes the role of watching out for us, the less responsibility we’ll take for each other. And THAT is frightening.
But it’s city policy to do that. Wonder who set the policy? I’m betting on city council.
Meh. I doubt slart’s ugly enough to qualify for a free BJ under the Free BJ Act of 2009.
Wouldn’t be the first time that’s happened.
I mean, I can already imagine the horrible future. The nephew ( who didn’t call to check on his uncle, or have him put in a nursing home if he was unable to manage his affairs) sues the utility for a couple of million dollars.
Oye.
I have a hideously repugnant soul, Dan.
Well, maybe Basil Hallward’s painting of you will get a BJ, then, under this timely legislation.
With every use of “prolly” I curse thee with a new dark brown age spot.
Republican cliches are the new retarded, that’s what I think.
That might be best for all involved. Maybe it can even be immoralized on canvas.
Bwahahahaha!
Thirteen-minute-long pledge is change I can believe in.
Selling electricity comes with a responsibility, that’s why it’s regulated.
Regulated by the government, which also makes if a government protected monopoly. Granting an entity monopoly powers is not a good way to encourage responsibility.
I only use it because I know it pisses you off. Prolly prolly prolly.
With every use of “prolly†I curse thee with a new dark brown age spot.
LOOK! BUNNIES!
Do they have to be Republican prollies, or can my prollies, as an unaffiliated voter, drive thor to rage?
Short drive, as far as I can tell.
Prolly.
I doubt a nephew would not have the legal authority to put someone in a nursing home. I could be wrong, but I doubt since I’m so damn beautiful I can even get a free handjob from Dan.
“I’m American enough to understand why it shouldn’t happen here.”
So it’s the governments responsibility, right, hor?
can = can’t
big boner there
“Or how about #4?
4.) Scratch 1 through 3 and bring negligent manslaughter charges against those persons at the electric company who were negligent.
Personal responsibility, all that.”
Or in other words, “I refuse to even consider the ramifications of my policy proposals even as I castigate as heartless all who do not accept them.” Because at the end of the day, better to have 1000 relatively invisible victims of a policy that incrementally and subjectively detaches receipt of electric service from paying of electric bill, than to have 1 highly visible victim of a policy that maintains that connection. At least in the former scenario, most of us won’t be quite sure whom to blame when the lights go out.
“Comment by Slartibartfast on 1/29 @ 8:46 am #

Well it’s their JOB to look after their customers.
Right, hor?
OH, you just reminded me B Moe. Granholm is responsible for the bill that put all of Michigan under a monopoly of two utilities. You see, “Regulation” works better than competition in the energy business.
So, I guess we can kinda blame Jenny for the guy’s death.
#Comment by thor on 1/29 @ 8:56 am #
It’s a government run utility, hor.

I pledge to get going.
“4.) Scratch 1 through 3 and bring negligent manslaughter charges against those persons at the electric company who were negligent.”
and,
“Personal responsibility, all that.”
Thor’s just a “protect me” big government prog afterall. Who knew? So his family has NO culpability in this? Wrong. I’m with Sdferr, here. An old man died. The old man obviously suffered from some degree of dementia. There probably is more than meets the eye in this one, but if we are to assume that the following are facts:
1) Electricity shut off in the middle of winter in a 93 year old man’s home.
2) Elderly man had $600,000 in savings as well as money clipped to utility bills.
Money wasn’t an issue. There are “no shutoff” rules in effect in Detroit. Thor, the defender of the proletariat (unless you’re a woman or backwoods), blames the evil utility company 100%. The evil utility company that is run by the municipality. They do, indeed, deserve some blame. The man’s family? His neighbors? 100% absolved of responsibility? Who needs family. We got the state!
“4.) Scratch 1 through 3 and bring negligent manslaughter charges against those persons at the electric company who were negligent.
Personal responsibility, all that.”
Government run utility, all that.
It takes a municipality.
You mean to say quasi-government, nub licker.
The Michigan Public Service Commission does not regulate municipally owned utilities. MCL 460.6

Tbe State IS your family, OI.
It is all caring and will never leave you. It want’s whats best for you. It’s here to help.
Kinda like that city council.
BTW, thor, of course a nephew can put an Uncle into a nursing home. It sounds like dementia would not have been too hard to prove. And even if he wasn’t suffering from dementia, just stubborness (as 93 year olds are want to do and they earned it), the nephew still could have helped in some way. But, if he was suffering from dementia, the nephew could have probated him as guardian or Detroit’s equivalent of an Adult Protective Services could have stepped in, with the nephew’s consent.
Dan,
Can we get T-shirts?
I’m gonna start beating my family then, Techie. Deadbeats.
Long-sleeved?
Long-sleeved?
If it’s guaranteed to make me uglier, sure.
The person who cut the electricity and any other individuals who authorized such actions are liable for their neglect. All your other BS is a finger-pointing side show, legally speaking.
Man up, boys.

Oooo oooo let’s sue the city!
They own the fucking thing.
Selfish bitches, trying to people to pay for electricity.
Quasi-government, combat boot wearing marmoset.
I submit that every aspect of hor’s life should be run by popular vote. Failing that, by a handful of bureaucrats.
#Comment by thor on 1/29 @ 10:04 am #
Insane, retarded and illiterate is no way to go through life, knoblicker.
What about the person who didn’t pay the bill and didn’t let the utility company know he was eligible for their no-cut-off policy?
“The person who cut the electricity and any other individuals who authorized such actions are liable for their neglect. All your other BS is a finger-pointing side show, legally speaking.”
“All my other BS”, as I think was not difficult to comprehend, was what I considered to be the near-automatic consequences of your policy in which the electric company undertakes the responsibility of determining whose failure to pay can result in service-stoppage, and whose can’t. Your response was to mentally eliminate those consequences by proposing a punitive measure for when the electric company doesn’t undertake that responsibility. Which doesn’t make a great deal of sense. It would, in fact, have made more sense just to say “Those things would not happen…just because.”
The Left over the past 8 years has shown us the way of the future. That the “Dear (or not so Dear) Leader” is in charge of everything and by the shear force of their mighty will cause all things to be or not be.
Therefore I’m with Carin in #60. Governor Jenny is to blame, for the cold, the snow, and the electricity being cut off. “Dear Leader” is the scapegoat we have been waiting for. Hallelujah.
Save us Obi wan Obama, you’re our only hope.
As algore has noted, the government is responsible for controlling the weather.
I blame Bush.
I was amused by thoare’s commenr abour laughing if someone asks him to wear a condom. I guess the voices in his head could suggest he don one for his imaginary excursions with Russian skank whores or to protect the furniture from his nocturnal emissions, but the likelihood of thoarass experiencing sex with another humanoid absent cash changing hands seems as remote as Keith Olbermann switching parties.
Look, bunnies!
Oh yeah, suck my sphincter thoare.
This would be an alternative too, but you can’t listen to that and get things done. Not in this Congress or with Resident Obama, anyway.
Sorry, wrong thread.
“The person who cut the electricity and any other individuals who authorized such actions are liable for their neglect. All your other BS is a finger-pointing side show, legally speaking.”
So, you’re just speaking, “legally”. I knew you were amoral, but this kind of surprises me.
Does anyone else find thor at his funniest when he drops all his hipster preening and gets all scoldy?
“A man died, and you have the NERVE to suggest a political point can be made out of it! FOR SHAME!”
Hi-fuckin-larious.
Thor, you haven’t got a leg to stand on, and if you had the intellectual honesty God gave a spider monkey, you’d cop to it and act all drunk again. Or are you really gonna sit there and school us about the distinction between a government-run-utility and a quasi-government entity? Angels on pinheads man, go find some blow, you’re much more entertaining.
Am I the only person here annoyed that Tor can pick up this mans corpse, (is Tor related to him in some way?), and use it as a weapon to cudgel his opponents in an argument.
I bought a house when I reached my 50’s to keep my then aging parents. My father survived until he was 97, but the last 12 years of his life he would not have been unable to exisit on his own.
This story is beyond sad. R.I.P

hor specializes in being repulsive.
It’s his only talent.
“Am I the only person here annoyed that Tor can pick up this mans corpse, (is Tor related to him in some way?), and use it as a weapon to cudgel his opponents in an argument.”
I personally have no problem with Thor or anyone else using a circumstance, even a tragic one, as a jumping-off point to raise some policy suggestions. It’s the absence of a willingness to actually consider the pros and cons of the policy, and instead substituting moral preening, that makes it virtually worthless.
If that’s acting, we need to contact the Academy, stat.
Um, I don’t know about the utility’s policies, but I will wager that shut-off notices were sent. And cut-off is usually down from the pole, so utility workers were there. And yet, it seems there was no contact with the deceased.
The facts will come out, but my guess is he made no effort to contact the utility when the power went off, because my guess is he didn’t pay the phone bill either and that had been cut off. My guess is: old, addled, with no contacts locally, and he didn’t know what to do anymore, and there was no one checking on him on a weekly basis.
And so he died cold and alone.
A story:
A few years ago I came home to my own apartment late one night and noted that another apartment door was ajar. The next morning I went out and saw the same thing. When I came home at noon, I knocked on the door and called out. With no answer I went in. I didn’t see anyone, but I went to the management office and reported it.
Turned out the guy was out of town and hadn’t pulled the door shut. All was well, but…creepy.
Mikey, I’ve heard that some people do that to give the impression that someone is home.
Seems like a risky strategy.

Don’t you know? All dead are democrats.
If it weren’t for his daddys money thor would starve to death. Mans a useless cunt.
If you’re cognizant of your own condition then do something to improve it since you’re unquestionably a clueless bumblefock, then again maybe it’s not possible to un-stupid yourself.
Try and type a post without using the word marmoset. Start there.
