I think Al Gore just shed a tear — though whether out of grudging gratitude or because his worldview has be shaken to the core is a matter of some dispute.
Or maybe it was just something to do with an onion.

You can’t restore marshlands at the point of a gun!!!
Bastards.
That made me laugh out loud, Tom. Very needed, too. Thanks.
Oh, great. I just got an image of Gore in a loincloth.
Or…dropped his last testicle.
Because the REALLY important thing is that Iraqi snail darters are are safe to breed in the marshes, as opposed to, say Kurds not getting poison gassed, women not being dragged
off the streets to rape rooms by the evil sons of a tyrannical despot, opposition figures not getting dipped into vats of acid or supposed traitors not being fed feet-first into plastic shredding machines.
‘Cause it’s all about the environment and God knows, Chimpy McHitlerBurton and neocons don’t give a damn about the environment…..
– Ironic that one of the scientists working on this situation has the last name Hussain. Yes, slightly different spelling, but just the same.
Of course we don’t.
We have our sooper seekrit Rethuglican Oxygen Masksâ„¢ stored away for the day that is sure to come, the Day the O2 Ran Out.
And I, for one, am going to laugh and laugh and laugh at the reactioary leftists struggling for one last precious oxygen molecule, like gaffed fish pulled onto my multimillion dollar yacht.
Mwahahahahaaaa!!!1
Reminds me of one of the requests the Chief of Staff of the Afghan Air Force had for my commander…please plant some trees at Bagram AF. The Russians had whacked a bunch down and the fight between the Taliban and Northern Alliance had finished some more.
Trees. He wanted trees.
Did he get his trees?
You may not be able to restore wetlands at the point of a gun. (In fact I doubt you or any of the readers here have ever done squat diddly about the global environment or US civil liberties, ya know “pro-freedom” and “pro-human rights”.)
But at least you can say your Dear Leader has restored wetlands in the US by declaring golf course water features as wetlands. Too bad, so sad, when the Glorious CONServative Cultural Revolution loses the Field and Stream and Ducks Unlimited crowd.
Phil,
Yes, some. We did what we could. Besides, the #%@ dust was so terrible, we had to do something to help keep the soil in place.
Tom,
I get the sense you are a bit angry, yes?
Hey Tom- whatever,
If you’re going to troll here, try putting some bait on the hook.
Goober.
:peter
“Dear Leader”
do the leftcultbots EVER say anything original?
I doubt you or any of the readers here have ever done squat diddly about the global environment or US civil liberties
Why yes, tommyboy, the US military is filled to the brim with Chomsky grads, police departments littered with proud Womyn’s Studies degree holders, and the boy/girl scouts of America are merely the junior league ACLU/ANSWER/MoveOn divisions.
BTW, why shouldn’t water features in the middle of green landscape be considered “wetlands” when a broken pipe in the middle of a farmer’s field is?
It’s only “wetlands” when it hurts people rather than make them happy?
Hey Tom,
Get a freaking clue. The group that done more to restore marshlands and bird habitat than any other is……Duck’s Unlimited! That’s right, those awful, gun-owning, neandrathal Rethuglicans
that hunt ducks actually have raised millions to restore hundreds of thousands of acres of habitat.
It’s actually pretty easy to find out about it too. But seeing as you’re all about the “prevailing left-wing narrative”, whereby you and your liberal friends are the only one’s “enlightened” enough to care about the environment and think that all conservatives want to do is drill, pollute and pump arsenic in to the air our children breathe, I can see why your snarky ass remains blind to anything that challenges your warped, provincial view of the world.
If ignorance is bliss, you’re downright enraptured!
Oh btw,I’m a Field and Stream subscriber, just like my Dad was.
Oh and Tom,
It’s “diddly squat”, not “squat diddly”.
Jeez, can’t these guys get ANYTHING right?
Tom,
I’ve personally raised more money for wildlife habitat than the average moonbat leftist has coked up his nose.
American sportsmen lobbied for the federal excise tax on hunting equipment that funds the Pittman-Robertson wildlife habitat funds. American sportsmen formed organizations like Rocky Mountain Elk Foundation, Ducks Unlimited, Trout Unlimited and a host more that all raise money and purchase habitat and conservation easements.
Grow up, you are embarrassing yourself, boy.
Who needs to be original, when Unka Karl has been cribbing from Trotsky and Lenin for the past 25 years? Go read Trotsky on Continuous Revolution and compare it to the language Dear Leader used at the commencement at the Academy.
And I see the defense of the Ducks Unlimited and Fields and Stream crowd is out. Haven’t you guys noticed that this crowd has abandoned your Dear Leader? Too much arrogance from y’all is gonna turn Kansas blue.
And anger here? ZZZZZZZZZZZZzzzzzzzzzzzz…
Though I do think Jeffy might find a new drug for his jealousy of real men with a real influence on American national policy debates.
If Naomi Wolf dresses me in earth tones, can I be a real man then?
I’ll even jam my tongue down my wife’s throat on camera if that helps me win you over, Tom.
I care that much about what you think of me, man.
Trotsky and Lenin were direct-mail wizards?
Who knew?
Tom,
Real men? I don’t think you want to get into a manliness cred show-down with some of the commenters on this site…
Anyone who uses the term “Dear Leader” in reference to someone that is not actually called that (i.e. Kim Jong Il) and still obsesses about Jeff Gannon (OMG! They must be running a gay prostitution ring in the White House!) is clearly an intellectual infant with serious sexual identity issues.
Not bad, Daai Tou Laam, not bad. I’m with ya on that Hilary reference too, man.
Allow me:
Anywho, do stick around. This is gonna be good.
(Speaking of Al Goering, they don’t call protein wisdom the Internet’s highest entertainment value for nothing…
)
By the way Tom, it’s said she doesn’t wear skirts because her b*lls would show. Just wanted to point that out.
Oops, point that out. Silly me.
I can’t believe I’m actually saying this, but Tom is almost making me miss acthole.
The “Dear Leader” crap is so “Code Pink/Move-On”, and the snark wouldn’t even register on the Dowd-o-Meter, but his recitation of archaic proto-commie pap is pretty good. The “Jeffy” usage displays a faux-familiarity that betrays his immaturity.
I give him a 64; mediocre chorus, but difficult to dance to.
One of the advantages to hanging out with oppressors is that you learn secrets to which only they are privy– for instance, that golf course water features are, in fact, wet.
On the minus side, the lack of contact with your moral betters means a lot of gaffes, such as caring about global civil liberties and the US environment when you’re supposed to care about US civil liberties and the global environment.
It’s lucky for Unka Karl that he’s got a bunch of sycophants like y’all to follow him. Otherwise you might check out Rove’s bio and how he prominently mentions studying the Hegelian dialectic.
And what was Davey Horowitz writing in the 60s? Uh huh.
And do you know who Kruschev is referring to as “the individual” in the quote from 1956? *geeesh* Talk about misreading a text due to a lack of cultural understanding. *ick, the stupidity here hurts* Any comparison to Hillary’s statement demonstrates the mendacity and ineptitude of the US’s radical right.
As for his entertainment value, poor Jeffy was an also ran/after thought in the WizBang Blog Awards this year. Guess that explains why you’re now on wingnut welfare.
PS… thanks for Montana. Kansas is next.
Right you are, Tom. In that quote Khrushchev referred to Stalin’s reign and not in fond terms, didn’t he? That was his “cult of the individual.”
By that same token, Tom, your rhetoric blows—more leftist license; trademark of a lack of integrity. Seen it before, pal.
But I know, it’s for the globe’s good, isn’t it?
…does anyone ever get the feeling that the trolls who slouch in here do it because no one reads their blogs?
Okay. So who needs bait? What the fuck do I know?
Note to Tom-whatever:
Don’t piss off Darleen.
yours/
peter.
Hey, I’m not the one trying to pass off false comparisons as intelligent thought. Maybe that will fly in the circle jerk of illogic among the Little Green Raelians, but it doesn’t work out in the real world, which is why 2006 is going to be a banner year for US conservatives. *snicker*
Now Hillary’s comments might be better compared and contrasted in reference to the crap about society not existing and there only being the individual spewed by Baroness Thatcher and St. Ronnie.
But when it comes to the cult of personality and an all powerful Executive/Commander in Chief, ya don’t appeal to Article 2 of the US Constitution, because it isn’t there. Literally isn’t there. Instead you appeal to Stalin and Mao, but you don’t say that in public literally because the brilliant Little Green Raelians MIGHT put 2 and 2 together and finally come up with 4, instead of the usual 3 or 5. Instead you use code words about “long march” and “long war” and “continuous revolution” and “a continuous struggle against idealogies of the enemy classes that may take generations”.
What’s the name of Bill O’Lielly’s next book? Ya think the reference of Culture Wars for a bunch of guys that were creaming their shorts over Mao’s theory of remaking society culturally in the 60s is an accident? *snicker*
Arrogant fools always seem to find themselves in the middle of great falls. So sad y’all let other good men and women die for you. Such bravery and manliness on your parts is to be commended.
proudvastrightwingconspirator  They save wetlands and they shoot lawyers! What’s not to like? Oh, and Kerry looks reeeeeally stoopid pretending to be one.
And that’s Our Dark Master Karl to you, boy. I can see you don’t read Tim Blair.
And as for the Tom – whatever comments… ya better start learning that Chinese.
At the rate Dear Leader and your beloved Wal Mart are selling the US off to the Chinese, it might come in handy to negotiate which re-education work camp ya get sent to when they forclose on your worthless asses.
I Like Chinese!
Eh?
Wha…? The Chinese are gonna “forclose” on what?
Who owns the USA’s national debt.
Wishful thinking is no substitute for reason and logic, kid.
TommiDaLame
Again with the manliness chip on yer shoulder.
Am I sensing here a bit more flap then most in the crotcholio area your 100% hemp cloth slacks when the dusk breeze blows?
Sweetcheeks, you can stop using your DemocraticUnderground Talking Points generator here. It’s wasted here where we’ve heard ‘em and easily discredited them long ago.
But I’m sure it’ll wow the kosskiddies in Vegas soon, who will swoon like blue-rinsed grannies at a Liberachi show. And I’m sure Markos will think of some way to thank you personally.
I have to say Tom, you are some quality troll.
I don’t think “literally” means what you think it means Tom. But, hey, you’re good for some shits and giggles.
BECAUSE OF THE SPEECH IMPEDIMENTS!!!!
These are talking points passed at Democratic Underground? *snort* The stupidity here is truly magnificent.
It’s nice to see the Little Green Raelian bravado at work here, thoug I do sense a lot of gender issues. The first comments about balls and skirts and y’all keep coming back to it in every post. Does the photo of the man-whore make your little soldiers get warm? For me Jimmy/Jeff is the icon for the Bushevik “man-date”. *snicker*
Yeah, Dear Leader had himself a “man-date” when Jimmy/Jeff had his sleep overs, cuz if it was innocent and Dear Leader had nothing to hide, why is he stonewalling the right wing groups suing to get the records on the visits of persons like Jimmy/Jeff and Abramoff? Me, I’ve just got date palms, as opposed to dates with your palms, which seems to be the standard among Right Blogistan.
So when y’all gonna prove your manliness by doing your patriotic duty and signing on the line at the US Army recruiting office? Or is that your manliness in the yellow puddle that’s run down your leg.
Hmmm… looked at your graph on “who owns the national debt?” and it’s amazing what you can do when you start fudging around the definition of “national debt”. *snicker* But if that’s the best you can do, I’m sure you’ll believe Dear Leader when he tells that the US economy is doing great as well.
And if any one of you could point to where in Article 2 of the US Constitution it allows the President to usurp the Judical Branch’s powers and rule that a law is unconstitutional and can unilaterally ignore the Legislative Branch, I’d be happy to read. But you can’t, because it literally isn’t there in the text, except in the Joe Stalin/Mao Tse-tung version.
You guys shouldn’t be so hard on Tom – DTL. He’s obviously a TSL* student trying very hard to practice his skills.
Sure, it SEEMS like he’s jumped in just to hurl random vulgar insults and DU talking points, but you should really take a more nuanced view. I mean, look at it from his pont of view – he lives in a world that doesn’t make sense, surrounded by people who are oblivious to the reality in front of him and yet seem to see things that are invisible to him… it’s got to be scary.
You’d lash out too!
Oppositional defiance is really just a cry for help.
Let’s all give Tom a BIG mental hug, and send him happy thoughts.
* Thought as a Second Language
Tom- why don’t you get out and enjoy some of that fresh Hong Kong air? Ahhh, smells like global environmentalism.
Al, how many times have we told you to quit claiming to have influence?
Sincerely,
The Supreme Court
P.S.: Glad you shaved the beard.
Again with the claim that it’s DU talking points. Wow! So this is the best comeback that the Little Green Raelians and paste eaters have? *shakes head* No wonder the Busheviks have lost the War of Ideas in the heartland of America.
Who’d hve thought that within 25 years of the Reagan Revolution that the Plains would be going Democratic in a way not seen since William Jennings Bryan? Even the Republicans on the Plains, like Hagel, are smart enough to be running away from you paste eaters.
Either that or they’re switching parties to become Democrats, because the Freeper-wing of the Republicans seems intent on complete and utter marginalisation. Making themselves as irrelevant as Jeffy’s idiocy impersonating lit crit. *snicker*
Patrick, I think you nailed it.
You left out “guffaw”, “tsk tsk” and “tut tut”.
Don’t tell me you’ve given up on “chickenhawk” and “yellow elephant”!
Don’t tell me you’ve given up on “chickenhawk†and “yellow elephantâ€Â!

Should I??? Have you guys formed a line at the recruitment offices to sign up this morning? Or do you have more important things to do?
Awwwww… I can’t help it if the links from Pajamas Media and the InstaParrot didn’t drive any traffic my way. It’s the low readership numbers in Right Blogistan. It’s so sad how all Right Blogistan has now is linking to each other in an attempt to circle jerk their technorati and google rank. *snicker*
I have more important things to do, like finishing my 12 hr shift and going home to sleep so I can come back tonight and help produce cold-rolled steel for Bush’s war machine. *shrugs shoulders*
*rolls eyes* Got the links to prove that?
Coming from the obvious expert in “low readership”. *snicker*
Links to prove it? You’ve rolled out low technorati numbers to condemn me, so go check out who has linked to me.
But I’ll give ya a hint, they were positive links for going out to fight for global freedom and democracy on the march on the frontlines.
Some of us do… y’all don’t. *snicker* Even the guys in the Che Guevara t-shirts here do more for global democracy than you paste eaters. How much of a failure is the Bushevik foreign policy? Check who the favourite is to win the Nicaraguan Presidential race this year: Daniel Ortega. *snort*
As for the low readership numbers, I did a series analysing the statistics from links at Pajamas Media, InstaParrot, The Eschaton and Jesus’ General. Y’all remember Jesus’ General? The founder of Yellow Elephant (not DU) and the one that left Jeffy as an afterthought in the WizBang Award voting. That’s based upon readers voting… readers that Jeffy and the wingnut welfare queens at Pajamas Media don’t have.
Tom
If you have to spell out ‘snicker’ after each joke then your attempt at humor has failed.
More importantly, since Che Guevara’s idea of global democracy is to slaughter all dissenters it is only natural for a progressive intellectual elitist like yourself to hail him a hero.
Like I have said before, at least actus keeps his incoherent snark short.
Do these people honestly consider themselves intelligent? Or persuasive?
Or even pleasant?
Tom

Posted by syn
I didn’t say he was a hero. I just said that folks who do hail him a hero are doing more for global freedom and democracy here than y’all combined.
As for adding *snicker*, I’ve seen the level of stupidity here with the misinterpretation of Kruschev, so I’ve got to be careful that y’all don’t misinterpret what I’m meaning. Since Jeffy’s readers are known around the net as being horribly humour impaired.
Ya know, leftists are doing a really, really, really good job at making themselves appear repulsive. Take the worst stereotypes of a stuck-up moralist, and we’ve seen them here—from the left.
I have to wonder how self-aware these people are.
Yep, someone’s definitely in desperate need of an audience… and has exactly the sort of winning personality needed to drive them away in droves.
Robert Crawford: What? You don’t feel an urge to agree with him so you’ll be seen as one of the cool people like Tommy here?
Hm. Me neither.
ah yes nuance is important. Forgive me Oh Great Snicker Snorter, I should have said ‘since Che Guevara’s idea of global democracy is to slaughter all dissenters it is only natural for a progresive intellectual elitist like yourself to hail people who wear Che Guevara’s t-shirt as heroes.
I’ll get myself to the nearest Tunnel of Oppression in order to purge my sin against your religion.
Stuck up moralist? *snort* I can’t help it if y’all are too chicken to stand up and be counted for your beliefs. Yap a lot about global freedom and the best results that ya get are more corners to turn and tipping points and lots and lots and lots of dead bodies, like dead pregnant women and praying little kids.
As for wanting an audience, if I was desparate for an audience I’d be another sycophant praising Jeffy for being an intellectual and telling y’all that you’re soooo smart and manly. Cuz it’s quite clear that y’all are so deprived of positive reinforcement from reality that ya sit here and circle jerk in the comments to get what ya can’t get in the real world.
Oh look. Projection. How shocking.
Stuck up moralist?
You’re soaking in it!
Why do I always imagine those who say “Dear Leader” doing so with a mincing lisp? Not that there is anything wrong with that, mind you. But it is a mental image that persists.
That’s because we’re busy running the world in accordance with Master Rove’s directives, silly. While you’re engaging in mental masturbation, there are brown people out there who aren’t going to oppress themselves (except for when they do).
Now if you’ll excuse me, I’ve got caribou to drill through.
Shorter, Honester Tom:
I put it to you that you are all poopyheads. *lol*
I am so smart. S-M-R-T. *snicker*
I make fun of people’s names! *mindless “unka karl” or “dear leader” parrot*
You guys believe in Raelism. *snort*
I can’t believe that Jeff constantly posts about the Elohim and human cloning! *rolls eyes*
Seriously, I’m smart. *loses any shred of intellectual cred*
Please someone come read my blog. *transparent cry for attention*
No more troll food for our starving inferiors, please.

TDL, you’re fighting for democracy in Hong Kong? Odd, I never considered bootlegging fireworks with vacation jaunts to Thailand to sample the local….er…food (that’s it) as Profiles in Courageous Democracy Enablement.
And AGAIN the long discredited chickenhawk meme. You’ve forgotten to add that only “high school dropouts, losers and those that can’t get real jobs” are in the military.
JAYSUS on a Pony, the best thing YOU ever did for America was leave it.
Rove’s your uncle? How awful for both of you.
All I need is “hegemony” and I’ll have a lefty boilerplate bingo!
You’re a humorous boy, Tom.
Had you considered irony? You’re marinated in it and you just keep swinging.
Do go on…please.
That’s what I enjoy so much about this site. After a weekend wherein Jeff buries Thersites and his coterie of false giants, Tom shows up today to remind us all about the larger population of REAL dwarfs.
Whistling while they work, no doubt.
And when these twenty-somethings finally build their Tolerant Utopia (on land granted by the PRC up against N. Korea), I’ll renounce all my Nazi memorabilia, tear up my false attributions of Communist leaders, get my Glock fantasies treated once and for all, move east, and start raising bean sprouts.

I guess you won’t be getting links from the InstaParrot anytime soon either. Or the Gateway Pundit or Blogs for Industry. But feel free to continue the circle jerk in here if it makes ya feel better about yourselves.
And that was what I had to fear from your femme fatale? *geesh*
Tom, dude.
Your shtick has already been done.
Overdone, actually. If you’ve got something you’re burning to discuss, discuss already. If you’ve come to fling shit, well, it’s been done, and done better.
The Left has real men? Please. A few maybe. Those are getting rarer and rarer these days, especially on that side of the political divide.
Most of you clowns, as my Red State Father used to say, “Squat to Pee”. You left your balls down at the last Womyn’s Rally you attended and chances are, you gave them up gladly.
Now you better be careful kid, your mamma might not like you using her computer without permission. You could lose supper over this you know…
Good gawd, what is that stench in here?!?
Some nasty trollstank at PW this morning.
Ah, Tom. Keep swinging, friend. The converts are lining up in droves.
But tell you what. I’ll agree to come visit if you move your sixth floor flat and Canon 6.2 megapixel and $2,000USD Dell laptop over to the real heart of the political matter instead of bagging HK strumpets in between your Asian studies.
You little man.
See, if you were half the champion you imply, you’d be out of HK and up in the PRC or over by NK waging intellectual war on poverty and oppression instead of lapping up the cream of westernized, capitalist, booming free China.
I’m quite serious, Tom – Daai Tau Laam, because I’ll drop by my next trip thru Sarabaja, Singapore, Seoul, and Guangzhou (via HK, natch) where I leave my filthy trail of US dollars because y’all love them so much for stuff like food and shelter.
You adore western capitalist wealth, you little self-loathing collectivist wannabee, living in the relative luxury you do instead of walking your elevated talk where it’d actually amount to something.
You little snapshot taker, you. You cultivator of fine delicate foodstuffs; you commenter on all things Western.
Then we can discuss all matter of existential concerns, out there in the rain and mud of your personal monastery. You and me, getting into the meat of the matter…and you getting your pathetic stereotypical preconceptions blown to fucking kingdom come.
To use the vernacular.
Anyway, I love Asia. I love the Chinese—they’re finer people than on this continent as far as I’m concerned.
Maybe you should as well.
So you give me a ring when you finally get your dick out of your ear and do something you’d harass strangers for maybe, possibly not doing. I’ll be right over and we can get to know one another.
Meanwhile, you have a nice day.
tw: And perhaps reconsider dicking with your betters.
You’re soaking in it!
Man, THAT’S an oldie…
Guys, guys… Why haven’t any of you noticed that “Tom” is actually Sean Gleeson’s Autorantic Virtual Moonbat.
… Now modified with a new script, of course.
Tell me that they aren’t they same script-bot. I dare you.
with all the *shrugs* and *snorts* and *geeshes,* it’s kind of like a puppet show. Tom, is hard to type with the puppets on your hands? And isn’t it hard to work the puppets with your two inch fingernails?
Tom? You there?
Hmmm. I guess he got a knock on his glory hole wall. Oh well.
:peter
I betcha Tom-Tom will be back tonight.
That word. That word you keep using. I do not think it means what you think it does…
I suppose I had better keep this hard copy of the Constitution I have – since it has one of these rare errors in it. Maybe I can sell it on eBay for big bucks.
I wonder why Tom keeps up with the “chickenhawk” stuff in a commentariat full of vets? Tom?
In honor of Tom, today we ok’d the total destruction and shreading of some 20 old growth trees in order to place a well site. We were going to do it in the name of progress, but instead I called down and now were going to do it in the name of “Tom.” By that I mean, they’ll actually spray paint “Tom” on each tree marked to be bulldozed for pad construction.
I’d offer to club some baby seals or blow up some beluga whales but I’m not in the Alaska Division any more, so I’ll just have to entertain myself in the lower 48.
BTW, it you want pictures, let me know. It’s a beautiful rigsite.
Has anyone asked Tom if he realizes that the logical conclusion of the chickenhawk argument is to allow only we vets to to comment on and formulate foreign policy?
1.7 + 1.7 = 3.4
2.3 + 2.3 = 4.6
(I was out in the sun all day, gimme a break.)
I guess they don’t think about that in Hong Kong, but I’ll support it RTO.
Btw, I told the boss about the “Tom” tree marking. he likes it. Form now on we may mandate the letters TOM, for “Timber Obstruction Marker” inside a little teardrop shape, spray painted on all trees that had to be demo’ed. It’s solves the mapping problem of using X’s, which can be confused with other spottings.
So, thank’s Tom, you made exploration easier!
Darleen, that is pretty close to the truth. I was involved in one project where one federal agency blocked a road solely on the basis that the route went right through a wetland. Not only was a wetland threatened, there was potentially one endangered plant species involved.
I say “potentially” because there was no sign of this particular species within 20 miles of this spot…..turned out the location was too high for it to grow there.
But this one wetland stalled the project for two years…..until a representative pointed out that the “wetland” existed only because of overflow from an irrigation ditch of a local ranch. An irrigation ditch that came from an illegal water diversion from a nearby river. The local watermaster offered to shut the diversion off if the agencies involved thought that would help speed the project up.
Suddenly, all objections were withdrawn. The road was built within sensible restrictions, and everyone went away happy.
Except the obstructionist agency, of course. They didn’t want the road, period.
Sounds familiar, The_Real_JeffS.
Check this out: Big Bear Checkerbloom, Sidalcea pedata.
Pretty little wildflower, wouldn’t you say? The text says this:
The problem with this is, it is not exactly true – it occurs in a great many places in Big Bear Valley, in fact, if land in most parts of the valley is cleared and graded, for home construction for example, it had better not be left fallow over winter or there will almost certainly be checkerblooms on it by spring. This has happened more than once: at least twice in the late 1980s building permits were revoked because of it. The old drive-in theater property, scraped completely clean in the late 1960s, is now home to thousands of the little darlings – and the land cannot be touched. Even more frustrating, it that it is virtually identical to the common checkerbloom, Sidalcea malveflora, that is found throughout California. They differ only in growth habit (and locale). There was (and still is, IFAIK) considerable debate as to whether they are, or are not, the same species.
What does this Tom asshole have against Little Green Raelians? Or against the Chinese?
RACIST!
BTW, is this sick racist fuck Tom also anti-clitoris?
MISOGYNIST!

One can’t be “anti-clitoris” if one has never found one.
Sure he can… by denying they even exist!
