We’ll be traveling to Bennett CO this morning for the Li’l Tigers tournament, then hurrying back to attend an art show for, of all people, our regular UPS delivery guy.
Please, while we’re gone, try not to let the left steal any more of our liberties.
Much appreciated.
Do we still have any?

Well, it’s not like they’re sixth graders. They’ve studied the Constitution, and stuff.
Sarah Palin got seven standing Ovations according to fox. She did a ‘clumsily drinking from a Big Gulp’ gag that touched both Bloomberg and Rubio sort of.
She said we aren’t here to rebrand the party but to rebuild the country.
Can’t wait for “smart republicans” to respond to that.
“Well, it’s not like they’re sixth graders. They’ve studied the Constitution, and stuff.”
True. Sixth graders usually expect to be held responsible for their actions eventually.

In fairness to the senior tyrannical thug from California, palaeo, she did say that she had a 20 year record of passing any old shite she wanted, expecting SCOTUS to sweep up after her.
Top conservative blogs think Palin a distraction and a culty figure. Not a serious political person. Like, say, Mike Castle or Charlie Christ or a Mitt Romney.
CONSERVATISM!
Sarah Palin takes CPAC by storm
I don’t think Palin will run again, but I hope she stays out there and annoys all the right people, including the “pragmatic conservatives.”
i like senator sarah r-ak
I just sent someone a response to a text. This person texted me because they wanted to know if I was free to go get some batter fried fish at Opal Divine’s (a bar and grill place in Austin).
I declined.
In the course of my response, I tried to touch-type the word “dish washer”.
Thanks to some wild miraculous combination of auto-correct and my sausage fingers I ended up telling someone that I couldn’t make it because I needed to go to Best Buy to price a new “dick wacker”.
Damn it.
Rand Paul won the straw poll. Cross hairs takin’ aim.

Saturday Night Card Game (“Big Boy” says “boy” and race card players go wild)
Given the inflection I am not going to give Christie a pass on that one. He went over the line.
“Yeah, I hear ya, boy, I hear ya. ” vs. ” I hear ya. Boy, (do) I hear ya. ”
I guess. Whatever.
I hear what you’re saying, BMoe, but I’d need more than the 6 seconds they served up to make any sort of call on it. It doesn’t strike the ear as neutrally as it reads.
What nonsense.
What complete nonsense.
If any of these reporters listened to a rap song for 10 seconds their tiny little minds would explode.
But… many of them have heard exactly how some hoes need slappin’ and some niggas need killin’ — let’s check those iPods! — so I’m just going to assume that they’re entirely full of shit.
It’s a somewhat left-wing site and from 2007 but it seems she was/is shoveling some of the nice green shite right to her old hubby and his pals.
Black people make those songs. You cannot criticize them, lest you be racist.
“Yeah, I hear ya, boy, I hear ya. ”
I don’t hear that second comma. I hear, “Yeah, I hear ya boy.”
Personally, I am going to get fucking pissed if you say that to me in a heated exchange, and I am not even black. My stock response is “If you see a boy around here you whip his ass and send him home.
And I kind of hold my political representatives to a little higher standards that the typical crackhead rapper.
So no. Even if it wasn’t the lard ass I still would call that out of line.
I do agree that it is nonsense it the sense that it isn’t exactly news that Chris Christie is an arrogant condesending prick.
Is this a southern thing?
When I hear “boy” I hear pure pablum. It’s like “shucks” or “dagnabit”. An attempt at folksiness. Boy, oh boy, this community sure has come together, hasn’t it?
Maybe it’s an age thing?
Never once have I heard some dude call another dude a boy. Not once. I’ve heard “punk”. I’ve heard “bitch”. I’ve heard “faggot”. I’ve heard “pendejo”. I’ve heard “cocksucker”.
Boy? Not yet.
I’m almost 40. At some point, I assume I’d hear “boy” used in the way that I’m constantly reassured that evil conservatives (well, they think Christie is a conservative anyway) are using it day in and day out.
Southern and Appalachian for sure. Don’t know about anywhere else.
It can be a term of affection between friends, but calling a grown man a boy in anger is not advisable in either of the areas mentioned, especially if he is black, but is a trigger word amongst alot of white boys too.
Can’t it explain it, it just pisses me off.
No way Christie aimed that “boy” as a racial pejorative. None. Not even close.
I guess I understand how someone might bridle at the use of boy reflexively or viscerally but I sorta doubt a Jersey guy, a model fat Yankee even, has this same vernacular.
Seems to me he was using a generic pronoun while making the mistake of not smiling at a brother.
Sounded like an emphatic interjection on the heatedness of the argument to me, and had nothing to do with the guy he was talking to.
One of my friends was there – hates Christie, is a Democrat Party hack – and said nothing about this to me. In fact, he emailed me to express surprise that he’d even bothered giving a speech to the “shines” considering he only got 2,000 votes in the city of Paterson. In standard Democrat fashion though, we’ll see if he changes his tune now that they’ve manufactured something to be offended about.
I’m not defending him.
I’m just saying “meh. What else have you got. ” Because I’m not a mind reader and I’m not going to waste my time fooling around with a Jim Moran/Chris Matthews dog whistle decoder ring that was whipped up by the Bushitler crowd.
If he ever burns a cross in someone’s yard then let me know but I generally view expert racism detectors as being in the same leaky sinking boat as global warming science.
Pardon me. Boy! Is that the Chattanooga choo choo?
“Black people make those songs. You cannot criticize them, lest you be racist.”
Yeah but they sell them to suburban white teens. They must know what their audience wants.
Nah I’m kidding. The Suburban white teens steal the songs on the internet. The money gets made at concerts and via a line of endorsed merch.
I’ve been called worse than “boy” by people whose opinions actually matter to me. Some people need to — well, growing up may be out of the question, but at least they need for one of their testicles to descend and tell the other one it isn’t dangerous after all.
Was the irony there intended, McGehee?
Ace, slick, chief, kiddo, junior, lil’ guy, young master NAME, chuckles, etc.
So Christie gets the macaca treatment early. You’d think they would wait ’till closer to 2016.
Well, the new dick wacker will cost $579 on sale.
It’ll be fun to measure the ink spilled over this big nothing against the virtually non-existent reportage on the widespread incidents of racial violence committed against random white people the last few summers.
Remember that? Remember when everyone in the media decided to look into what would cause black kids to attack innocent, terrified white people in city after city?
Geez, I sure hope no one in the media is contributing to this violence by falsely spreading these never-ending white racism stories for their own political gains.
Hiyo, bh.
The Ballad of Oh Boy
Sic ’em, Sarah.
Anybody trying to insult you by calling you “boy,” b moe, isn’t worth your attention.
I understand that completely, but my adrenal gland doesn’t always agree, especially when it is already starting to spool up in an argument.
I just ain’t cutting Christie any slack, I don’t like him and would have reacted badly if he had said that to me, is all I’m saying.
“I understand that completely, but my adrenal gland doesn’t always agree, especially when it is already starting to spool up in an argument.”
beemoe,
I think you just need to recalibrate the rage meter a tad.
Let me try and help you with a little example: Lets say you and your neighbor about who’s the better NASCAR driver; Richard Petty or Jimmie Johnson.
The discussion starts to turn sour cus you have every race result implanted in your memory and can rebut every argument Mr. Neighbor makes. So he starts to get frustrated and refers to you as “boy” but you just laugh and let it go cus you know you got him whupped.
Then he decides to up the ante and talk about your family lineage and the size of your wife’s thighs but you just shake you head and roll your eyes.
Finally, after you get home you witness him kicking your dog because he peed on the fence seperating your yard. So you go whip his ass for farting across your property line.
See that’s what the big boys in the STRAT division call reciprocity and proportionality.
*missed an “are debating” in the first sentance of the example*
