Displaying 871 To 900 Of 955 Comments Yeah, well you young-uns smell like dirty diapers and regurgitated baby formula. Should we take it that you are protesting an upcoming birthday by calling out everyone older than you? I think I tried that once, just before I turned 28. Didn’t work out. » Posted By 2ndClassCitizenPundit On February 19, 2011 @ 9:21 pm Well, if there is a popular revolt here, will these people be saved? I doubt it. Look at Egypt, when are they going to have elections? Any regime change would take time. If you were to hand Brewer a blank check to “fix” her budget, what would be the first thing she’d do? Most likely, issue tax cuts and refunds, and not to the poor (except maybe as an afterthought or by accident). Elected officials have become the piranhas and sharks in the revenue stream. » Posted By 2ndClassCitizenPundit On February 19, 2011 @ 9:18 pm You haven’t seen him pass the collection plate lately, have you? » Posted By 2ndClassCitizenPundit On February 19, 2011 @ 12:29 pm Ah, thanks for the clarification. » Posted By 2ndClassCitizenPundit On February 19, 2011 @ 12:27 pm I too stayed out of it, although my first instinct is usually to mediate (sometimes my first instinct is to commit wide-scale mayhem, but the Department of the Interior has asked me to tone it down). So I stayed out of it. I had no idea what was going on, and it was not until much later that I was able to discern that it might have something to do with the HP-critical threads. But I still didn’t know. It is times like this that I wish it were possible to send a message privately, to say, “Hey, I’m missing something here, can we talk about this?” However, private messages seem to be a no-no for political-oriented sites, and I can understand the reasons why. I believe we need to keep in mind that the computer screen is not an effective medium for heart-to-heart chats. » Posted By 2ndClassCitizenPundit On February 19, 2011 @ 12:25 pm I’m torn. I can’t make up my mind whether you are a likable jerk, a talented snark-ist, or simply off your medications. And I mean that in the nicest possible way, really. » Posted By 2ndClassCitizenPundit On February 19, 2011 @ 12:20 pm Starts with a sidestep?
» Posted By 2ndClassCitizenPundit On February 19, 2011 @ 12:03 pm Well, to be fair, it does seem to be somewhat organic in nature, at least as far as sociopaths, although there have been some studies that suggest it could be caused by upbringing. This later theory, of course, is fiercely refuted by the Monsanto Babysitting Foundation and the DuPont Parents Trade Council. As we all know, corporate-produced parents are much more reliable, economical, and long-lasting than the home-grown variety. » Posted By 2ndClassCitizenPundit On February 19, 2011 @ 11:50 am Oops. It was Indiana. It seems it failed because of a wisecrack by a visiting professor of mathematics. » Posted By 2ndClassCitizenPundit On February 19, 2011 @ 11:47 am If I remember correctly, that one got thrown out when some of the engineers asked the legislature if they (the engineers) would be required to use the “new” value of pi when constructing state buildings? » Posted By 2ndClassCitizenPundit On February 19, 2011 @ 11:42 am I would respectfully hand the list back, tell her “today is my day. It’s not yours,” give her a hug and a kiss and go back to bed for a few hours. » Posted By 2ndClassCitizenPundit On February 19, 2011 @ 11:17 am Happy Birthday to Blov, then. I am assured that you will make it a wonderful one for him. » Posted By 2ndClassCitizenPundit On February 19, 2011 @ 11:15 am I don’t see anything about consequences for SCOTUS for violating ethics in this, but I can not find any actual text of the bill (which might be due to the fact I just got up and I am effing tired). But I have to wonder if, because there is no provision in the Constitution for removal of a Justice, if a bill would not have jurisdiction to change this. » Posted By 2ndClassCitizenPundit On February 19, 2011 @ 11:12 am It’s a common problem among narcissists. They are the center of the universe (figuratively speaking), so everyone must be like them. Or else. It’s also common among sociopaths, people who have no emotional connection with anyone else. Since they think in a particular way, they “reason”, then that must mean everybody else is the same way. They literally have no way to think of other people as having any different attitudes or beliefs. » Posted By 2ndClassCitizenPundit On February 19, 2011 @ 11:07 am Facts are up for debate. Facts must be proven to be politically reliable (i.e., congruent with “my” agenda) before being allowed to be disseminated and worked into the national discourse. Scientists are all part of a vast conspiracy to take the rightful authority away from politicians and corporations, so they can develop drugs, technology, and other means to transform us all into Smurfs. I thought you knew all of this already. » Posted By 2ndClassCitizenPundit On February 19, 2011 @ 11:02 am Thank you! I have no idea what is going on here. We finished the Vox Pop, I went outside for a cigarette, and I haven’t been able to figure out what’s going on since. » Posted By 2ndClassCitizenPundit On February 19, 2011 @ 1:08 am That is because, to folks of her mindset, the only people who should have money are people she considers equal to her or people higher up the ladder than her. Let’s face it, poor people (anybody poorer than “me”) should be grateful to be employed. They don’t need money, they are getting the honor of serving “me”. » Posted By 2ndClassCitizenPundit On February 19, 2011 @ 1:04 am His hair would do better in that office than he would. It has more strength of character. » Posted By 2ndClassCitizenPundit On February 19, 2011 @ 1:00 am Agreed. One question I have about these layers of bureaucracy has not been answered. Who pays for the aides that elected officials bring along with them? Who pays Boehner and Reid’s office staff? Who pays for the legion of new staffers that Christie installed when he took office? » Posted By 2ndClassCitizenPundit On February 19, 2011 @ 12:49 am 322/400 I have to wonder if they skew the results based on how far to either side you mark (such 0/1 or 9/10) vs. other scores. I have a hard time believing anything is completely right or wrong. Maybe that’s why I failed the philosophy exam on Emmanual Kant. » Posted By 2ndClassCitizenPundit On February 19, 2011 @ 12:45 am Because they are not paid to read the articles, but they are paid to comment? No, I don’t have proof of that, but it is a possible explanation. I just checked, and some of the more recent comments seem more rational and sympathetic. I think it is interesting that the article is referencing a link I posted to HuffPo three days ago in response to a pseudo-con. » Posted By 2ndClassCitizenPundit On February 19, 2011 @ 12:13 am I looked into a few postings from for-profit tutoring firms. Ten an hour, and I am required to drive all over the county going to the students, with no reimbursement for mileage or gas. Go to their homes? Nuh-uh, no way. I want to have witnesses around. I’ve seen too many teens shaking down adults by accusing them of inappropriate sexual conduct. » Posted By 2ndClassCitizenPundit On February 18, 2011 @ 11:35 pm I did not see a “Vicky” anything on the membership directory, but it’s really hard to search that. @AdLib, are there any options to improve the Member list? I know such options can make it easier for stalking posters, but there are legitimate uses for it. » Posted By 2ndClassCitizenPundit On February 18, 2011 @ 5:51 pm Yessss! Oh, wait. There’s no appeal now. sigh. Is there any way to actually fix that little red cash-wagon? » Posted By 2ndClassCitizenPundit On February 18, 2011 @ 5:46 pm Hmmm. But does that really address the act of Orwelling the Buckley out of the language? It does speak to my theory of “pseudo-con math” though. » Posted By 2ndClassCitizenPundit On February 18, 2011 @ 2:08 pm I try hard not to hate them, as it is such a waste of my personal energy. I feel free to despise them, however. » Posted By 2ndClassCitizenPundit On February 18, 2011 @ 1:45 pm Is anyone interested in a series of articles about pseudo-con terms and definitions? I was also thinking of throwing in my “pseudo-con mathematics” into that mix as well. Some ideas for a series title: I think it would also be fun to compare the way Republicans and Democrats define certain terms. Just as a warning, I don’t think either party know what they are talking about most of the time. Here’s an example: homosexuality: Democrats: a source of endless campaign contributions, out of a misplaced hope that we will vote for their rights sometime in the next decade, but “not this year”. Thoughts? » Posted By 2ndClassCitizenPundit On February 18, 2011 @ 1:43 pm Interesting that they are trying to pass bills overturning ballot initiatives. Says a lot about the screams of “overturning the will of the people” regarding Prop 8 in California. » Posted By 2ndClassCitizenPundit On February 18, 2011 @ 1:26 pm Makes me wonder if she read past the introduction of any of Rand’s books. Sheesh. I am reminded of a cartoon, where the characters had to get rid of the ghost of Ayn Rand. They accomplished it by pointing out that a ghost is a supernatural creature. At that point, Ayn screamed and disappeared. » Posted By 2ndClassCitizenPundit On February 18, 2011 @ 1:24 pm Actually, according to portions of the story that are usually left out of the bible, Eve was the second place prize. Originally, Yahweh had tried to give Adam an archangel as a wife. The archangel threw a fit at the idea of being made subservient to a mortal, as well as having to become mortal herself, and was cast out for disagreeing with Yahweh. Not many people know that Lilith was originally an archangel, and one of the few with the privilege of looking Yahweh in the face and hearing his own voice. No, I am not kidding. » Posted By 2ndClassCitizenPundit On February 18, 2011 @ 1:23 pmComments Posted By 2ndClassCitizenPundit
“Glossolalia 101”
“Misstate of the Union”
“Pseudo-Con Lit 101”
(darn. I had a better one than Glossolalia, but now I can’t remember what it was)
Republican: a temporary condition resulting in too much exposure to Rachel Maddow, entitlement programs, the military, or the wrong religion. Can be corrected by lots of prayer, fasting, and being forced to contribute to Crossroads GPS.
