Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

I’d like to think you all would remain faithful to me if i ever tried to have some of you killed.

Sadly, there is no cure for stupid.

The words do not have to be perfect.

No offense, but this thread hasn’t been about you for quite a while.

Hot air and ill-informed banter

Conservatism: there are some people the law protects but does not bind and others who the law binds but does not protect.

Speaking of republicans, is there a way for a political party to declare intellectual bankruptcy?

DeSantis transforms Florida into 1930s Germany with gators and theme parks.

… pundit janitors mopping up after the GOP

Schmidt just says fuck it, opens a tea shop.

Fuck the extremist election deniers. What’s money for if not for keeping them out of office?

Too often we hand the biggest microphones to the cynics and the critics who delight in declaring failure.

And we’re all out of bubblegum.

Republicans do not pay their debts.

A consequence of cucumbers

Seems like a complicated subject, have you tried yelling at it?

I didn’t have alien invasion on my 2023 BINGO card.

fuckem (in honor of the late great efgoldman)

The cruelty is the point; the law be damned.

Russian mouthpiece, go fuck yourself.

I wonder if trump will be tried as an adult.

“Can i answer the question? No you can not!”

The GOP is a fucking disgrace.

Fuck these fucking interesting times.

    Talkleft is now endorsing vote buying and criticizing Obama for decining to engage in it in Philadelphia. Evidently, vote buying is now considered an honorable tradition candidates are obliged to respect if it is part of the local mores.

    What’s next? Will Talkleft be endorsing race based voter intimidation and exclusion in the general election if it occurs in places where that is a tradition?

    I’ve often thought skirts would be far more comfortable for men on hot days. I don’t know about you other gents, but I like having that area well-ventilated. This is as fruity as that public school in Minnesota getting blasted by the religious zealots for a “cross-dress” day at school.

    As an auslander and a socialist, I’d just like to point out that kilts are really comfortable and attract a lot of positive attention from the ladies.

    But I’m not using my real name here in case Michelle Malkin calls for internment camps for Scotsmen.

    What is wrong with Bill Clinton to come out now and say that Hillary just misspoke and quickly corrected herself about her Bosnia oops? That’s an obvious and blatant lie, given she said it several times and didn’t correct it immediately. It just reinforces in my mind that they’re fast and loose with the truth. The newsturds are having fun with it this morning.

    Wow, you’d think my living in Minnesota I would have heard about that one.

    Only big controversy I’ve heard of was the community college installing a footbath for the muslims.

    but can it stop THIS?

    No, that is why we must remain perpetually vigilant. Someone needs to beat this guy down Taliban style. Someone needs to show this guy that when we say “America is a Christian nation”, we really mean it.

    If that means cracking a few skulls, well, the power of Christ compels me to kick your teeth in if you’re a dude and you mow your lawn in a skirt. I talked to Jesus last night, and he said it was cool.

    The next hurricane, tornado, earthquake, or terrorist attack will be all this guy’s fault.

    Those that have not read the historically accurate story of Sodom and Gomorrah are bound to repeat it. The holy spirit is going to turn this guy into a pillar of salt in the next couple of days, I just know it. Of course, when he does magically get turned into salt, don’t expect the liberal media to report it, they will be too busy making up stories about violence in Iraq.

    Consider this a wide open and often breezy thread.

    A nice change. I notice you’ve been a little teste over the past couple days.

    A smart person would have said he’s wearing a KILT, just like his warrior Scot ancestors wore into battle yielding swords and axes to hack apart English invaders.

    You got a problem with that, Laddie?

    I don’t blame Obama. I’m amazed that shit is legal.

    At the risk of being labelled a sexist and a lookist I’m going to guess that the only way that dude’s legs in that skirt would attract positive attention from any human female would be if:
    1) The females in question are blind or
    2) The females in question got to set legs and skirt on fire.

    Chalk up another vote for kilts. He could have invoked “Braveheart.” Mel Gibson would have testified for him and there’d have been a pack of pickled pipers playing. Either of the latter would have shut down that council meeting pronto.

    You guys should come to Toronto. The law against bare breasts was struck down years ago, and since then, there hasn’t been much of a desire to go after men in skirts.

    Not that there has been much of a desire on the part of men to actually wear them, or for women to go around topless. Conservatives never seem to appreciate that humans are pack animals, and if you throw open a barn door, most of them will keep doing what they are doing unless they notice that everyone else is stampeding out. A lot of times people are perfectly tolerant of other people doing something different and perfectly content not to do it themselves.

    Ladies and Gentlemen,

    Your Justice Department at work; they’re now sending FBI agents to jurors homes in an effort to intimidate them in the public corruption case of the Allegheny County coroner who just happens to be a Democrat.

    Guess which party the prosecutor is from.

    Growing up in NYC, I was steeped in the pro-Gun Control mindset, I saw too many easily available guns on the street and I thought the whole thing about needing guns to defend yourself from the government was too militia-ist (is that a word). And after serving in the military I knew having a handgun/rifle/shotgun wouldn’t do a damm thing for you if the government really came after you, so I didn’t really get the “From My Cold Dead Hands Crowd”. However, after reading crap like this and the Siegleman prosecution, I’ve decided that when they come for me its going be through a hail of bullets and I’m leaving feet first.

    Bush in his 8 years in power has convinced me of one thing; I will never trust the government with my security again.

    I lurve men in kilts (seriously, get yourself one today) but that was a sad, dirty, limp piece of stretched out knit fabric that was an unfortunate shade of aqua and WAY too short.

    If he had worn a proper sarong or kilt that came down at least to his knees, he would have had that nicely aired out feeling and pixels wouldn’t have had to commit mass suicide to cover up his shame in that video.

    Some of our nether region is obviously intended, by nature, for ventilation. Otherwise, the extant design and construction would be completely unnecessary.

    Therefore it is unnatural to confine the apparati inside constrictive clothing in hot weather. Unnatural behaviors can only lead to bad outcomes, such as rash, and pain. Anyone who has ever suffered this particular pain knows that it is no laughing matter.

    My vote here would be to jail the entire government of that Crackertown white trash city and let the man mow in comfort.

    I think dude should make this a family values issue: A guy with constricted, overheated, unhappy ‘nads is less able to create his half of a womb baby. Why does the Clinton Council of Morality hate babies?

    If he plays his cards right he could get the CCM to buy him a decent skirt.

    Something in a nice, cool cotton blend, I’d think.

    I like the way the video shows that if you stand in the right place and aim the lens up the skirt, you can see his equipment. Obviously, the city ordinance was designed to protect videographers from that kind of shock.

Obviously, the city ordinance was designed to protect videographers ^who have a completely reasonable excuse for filming at that time from that angle, and are not at all looking for something to get the vapors about from that kind of shock.

    Fixed.

    It reminds me of a story I heard about a guy who liked to sunbathe in the nude. (One hopes he used bug repellent.) He had a tall fence but his neighbors complained because from certain rooms they could see the offending parts. Fine. So he built a much taller fence. And his neighbors complained because if they went into their attics and craned their necks …

    Whoa Nelly, that IS a short skirt. I can see how it would be easy to accidentally get a glimpse of the old twig and berries on that fellow. However, one can always avert one’s gaze, and it IS his yard, so…meh. Whatever.

    And yes, kilts are hot. They make a plain man look distinguished, and a handsome man look droolworthy. I find they look best when paired with casual stuff, like rugged brown boots and a wool sweater, as opposed to the formal Prince Charlie tux jacket and lace-up shoes.

    Heh…the commercial they showed before the video when I played it was for Viagra. Better throw on more pixels just in case.

    I’m a rather open minded person, but this is something I will never understand. To me, skirts suggest the opening between the legs of a WOMAN — short skirt = visual translation of “I have a vagina”. If you’re seriously Scottish, and a big mean mutha of one at that, then fine, wear a kilt & Vishnu help anyone dumb enough to challenge you on it. If not, baggy sweatpants should be good enough.
