  1. Godspeed, Marines. Provoking a reaction isn't the same thing as saying something meaningful. -Calvin
  2. How's that working for you so far? Hey, I said "hopefully". Doesn't matter if it makes sense as long as my head is full of hope and my heart is full of dreams. Thanks Obama! Provoking a reaction isn't the same thing as saying something meaningful. -Calvin
  3. Thanks for the living example of the "tolerance" of the Left... No kidding. It's fun to laugh at their hate speech, though. Provoking a reaction isn't the same thing as saying something meaningful. -Calvin
  4. You really don't need pot to kill a person's initiative, nor do you need it to easily take their freedoms away. Simply having a focus group slogan accomplishes that goal quite nicely. Another nice thing about legalizing marijuana is that it will be easier to identify the people who fail at life by letting a drug control them. Means more opportunity for the rest of us. Hopefully they'll also become too apathetic to vote. Provoking a reaction isn't the same thing as saying something meaningful. -Calvin
  5. I don't see what the problem here is. Looks like the blind squirrel has found a nut, actually. Provoking a reaction isn't the same thing as saying something meaningful. -Calvin
  6. So...does anyone have a non-emotional, non-"please won't someone think of the children" objection to this? The 40th state? So this bill is not a new concept. If there really were legitimate objections to passing this bill based on a sharp increase in saloon shootings and midnight showdowns in the other states, I think the AP would have mentioned them. Provoking a reaction isn't the same thing as saying something meaningful. -Calvin
  7. Now if jib-jab will just do an Obama video set to the tune of "Candyman" we'll be all set. Provoking a reaction isn't the same thing as saying something meaningful. -Calvin
  8. Thank God I don't have to worry about all that. Provoking a reaction isn't the same thing as saying something meaningful. -Calvin
  9. Swing and a miss on this one. Few people want to imagine a 7" moan-maker in their mouths while they're eating an already gross sandwich...which is the image this ad has created. Provoking a reaction isn't the same thing as saying something meaningful. -Calvin
  10. And they shall call it "Google". Provoking a reaction isn't the same thing as saying something meaningful. -Calvin
  11. What do burqas have to do with religion? Provoking a reaction isn't the same thing as saying something meaningful. -Calvin
  12. I can imagine the frustrations of the intruder who heads straight for your kitchen to arm himself for the robbery. Provoking a reaction isn't the same thing as saying something meaningful. -Calvin
  13. Weee, Yipeee, we have us an Amazon Wanabeee. Throw in a smattering of random all-caps words and the transformation will be complete. Provoking a reaction isn't the same thing as saying something meaningful. -Calvin
  14. That's some silly shit. "...or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances." To be fair, it doesn't say anything about not calling those assembled terrorists. They should have added another option on the exam: "expressing disagreement". I wonder what the answer would have been then. Provoking a reaction isn't the same thing as saying something meaningful. -Calvin
  15. James Taranto of the WSJ calls that the "Roe Effect". Although, I think he's talking more about abortions than birth control per se. Interesting theory. Provoking a reaction isn't the same thing as saying something meaningful. -Calvin
  16. Out of everything that's going on in the world, that's what qualifies as "real news" to you? The governor of Alaska's wardrobe, speaking engagements, and organizational skills? Your subscriptions to Vogue and People could keep you informed on that front. Provoking a reaction isn't the same thing as saying something meaningful. -Calvin
  17. Nothing partisan about it, I love a good response as much as the next guy, and I have no beef with the Palins. My issue is that, considering joking about the Palin daughters is what got Letterman in hot water, it is not very appropriate to turn right around and bring her up again to make fun of someone. Provoking a reaction isn't the same thing as saying something meaningful. -Calvin
  18. Capper, indeed. The Palins lost a bunch of my sympathy with that remark. They couldn't just let has-been Letterman's comments speak for themselves...they had to use their daughter to take a jab at him. Not much better, imo. Provoking a reaction isn't the same thing as saying something meaningful. -Calvin
  19. The reaction to those jokes, in comparison to the Palin one, would be the real punchline. Provoking a reaction isn't the same thing as saying something meaningful. -Calvin
  20. Damned DEA... Provoking a reaction isn't the same thing as saying something meaningful. -Calvin
  21. Eliminate daylight savings time, have someone more qualified than a sports coach teach high school economics, implement the Fair Tax. Oh, one more thing. Temporarily neuter welfare deadbeats. When they get their hands out of my back pocket, untie the tubes. That's my list. Provoking a reaction isn't the same thing as saying something meaningful. -Calvin
  22. Speaking of spouting the party line, Comrade Funjumper, there's that "parasitic profits" phrase again. I'll ask you, as well: Do you find the concept of profits so offensive in regards to other businesses? Provoking a reaction isn't the same thing as saying something meaningful. -Calvin
  23. I assume that somewhere above 99.9% of all humans abhor his action; regardless of political affiliation, religious beliefs, position on gun laws, etc. No doubt. Provoking a reaction isn't the same thing as saying something meaningful. -Calvin
  24. Like whom? Provoking a reaction isn't the same thing as saying something meaningful. -Calvin
  25. Ok, just so I understand: Your ex engaged in very risky activities like skiing and skydiving without ample medical coverage. She then decided to pursue careers that probably weren't good for her bad knee (aerobics instructor, personal trainer). These careers provided no health care, but she didn't purchase any for herself with the money she undoubtedly saved from these jobs. It then fell on taxpayers, many of whom would not let themselves get into a dire situation like this, to pay for her knee replacement. You think the taxpayer should have intervened and paid for surgery before the injury was neglected for 25 years. Is that correct? At any point did an insurance provider try to screw her over or deny her coverage for the injury? Provoking a reaction isn't the same thing as saying something meaningful. -Calvin
