    I don't think anyone, except those indulging in hyperbole and a few idiots, is suggesting that paying more taxes be voluntary. There is nothing odd or inconstant or hypocritical here.

    That may be the only context in which it is funny. I don't see the issue at all. "Let them eat cake fly commercial" -- rough attribution to John.

    Well magic underwear is funnier than drinking the blood and eating the flesh of someone who lived 2000 years ago.

    ah, I think you got that, right. Same way Cain did. Does that mean we get more bizarre advertisements?

    I'd be fine with 18% Federal income tax on my entire income too -- for 2010 it was over 23%, not counting SS/Medicare.

    So since then we've gone to a socialist, government run military and police force.

    I'm certain that you would be telling us how evil the Martin family was if they were pandering for donations in this way.

    You can buy a lot of trailers for $500 million.

    I THOUGHT the mashed potatoes tasted odd last week...

    That is before he went along with the Republican proposed mandate.

    For that one, you need quite a few dead squirrels in Congress.

    I thought you were from Georgia? If so, then you know that 1/16th black is still considered black.

    Now that is funny. I'm voting for Mitt and Obama, just not the same month.

    Even if I'm shooting blanks?

    Yuck, how disgusting! BTW, since it wasn't in the police report, Skittles is the name of his dog.

    He averaged calling them every 9 days over the last year, so they probably recognized him. There is something called "caller ID" these days which could also provide a clue. Edit to add: I haven't listened to the 911 call for a couple of days, but my impression was that he wanted the police to call him when they arrived, rather than meet them at his house or at the entrance to the complex, so that he could continue pursuit without actually saying he was going to. Probably didn't want to lose sight of the Skittles. I don't think he wanted to hide his ID or addresss -- far from it, in his cop wannabe see how I fight crime delusions of grandeur.

    You know this? Obviously she knows it. She is the one who posited the scenario.

    I'll explain it. George said "hey you" from behind the kid, and the kid had his earphones in and didn't hear him. George though the kid was ignoring him, and said "hey you" and grabbed his shoulder. The kid though he was being attached, turns around and trips George, or George looses balance and slips on the slick grass. George shoots the kid. Nobody would have been injured significantly , and likely not at all, if George had not been carrying a piece. The situation just would not have developed. 4 or 5 minutes later the cops would have shown up, Treyvon would have told them where he was staying, offered them some Skittles(tm), and everyone would have gone home (except perhaps George would be looking for more suspicious persons). Edited for spelling.

    I've used them. I have not been impressed.
  20. headoverheels
    As she should.
  21. headoverheels
    Oh bullshit.

    I'm feeling like quoting a comment on the article. "This is an absurd article. Facts are all wrong. Clearly this writer is the one pushing an agenda. I have heard the 911 tapes, and it is clearly the voice of a child crying for help. Never did Martin's father say it wasn't his son's voice. And the original 911 call Zimmerman made about Martin was the confused mumblings of a truly socially inept adult...not to mention the fact that he calls Martin a "coon" to the operator. In addition, the witnesses have NOT said that Zimmerman was being punched. Witnesses have said that the person on top in the struggle was wearing a white t-shirt. Martin was wearing a black hoodie. And the witnesses are white...so much for your silly implications about black people lying for other black people."

    If it comes down to Romney and Obama, there may be some ads from the Obama camp touting this endorsement. http://news.yahoo.com/blogs/ticket/santorum-suggests-electing-obama-better-romney-presidency-211531760.html

    My wife was getting rid of her dad's old treadmill on Craigslist. When someone came to get it, she told them that the heart rate monitor wasn't working. He said that his dog wouldn't care, and the the dog was the one who would be using it.

    I've had conversations in person with people off the deep end. I don't want to set them off, so I don't generally disagree with them.
