Actually, I don't know it. And neither do you.

I see this--

http://www.suntimes.com/news/metro/1215 ... 11.article

which sets off this--

http://www.pioneerlocal.com/elmhurst/ne ... s3.article

and it turns out to be this--

http://www.suntimes.com/news/metro/1227 ... 08.article

And I see this all too often.

Worse, I see it excused because it 'raises awareness of the problem'--of the problem? What problem? The 'problem was so non-existant that you had to fake it.

Crime alleged, big rally, crime is fake.

Maybe you guys assume that the other side does this because you all do it so much.

as a partisan, i will always claim i am a FREEDOM FIGHTER as you will always claim i am a REVOLUTIONARY and i will say you are a REACTIONARY FASCIST and then the lovely word LIBERAL (which i for one take in a positive connotation, but hey, i'm ENLIGHTENED as opposed to CLOSE-MINDED) will be bandied about and then a volley of WARMONGER will be served up with a side of PEACE-NIK PINKO and a salad of COMMIE, SOCIALIST, LEFTIST greens washed down with some ELITIST PIG.

war is hell, huh.


too bad you have lost this battle already.

isnt it better to sue for terms? you know Come together for the Good of the Nation?

or are we supposed to expect another 8 years of sniping and 60 million dollar blow-job investigations?

Fixed that typo for ya--I know, I know, being a grammar and spelling nazi is sooo tacky--and you usually get nailed yourself for doing it, but I respect your opinion too much to let it go out there like that.

In a few days, this will be over, and my President will be McCain or Obama. And that's what makes this country great.

I'm gonna lose either way. So are you. You're just too blind to see that. But I want you in my corner at the Thunderdome.

McCain has cut into Obama's lead for a second day and is now just 1.1 points behind. The spread was 3.7 Wednesday and 6.0 Tuesday. The Republican is making headway with middle- and working- class voters, and has surged 10 points in two days among those earning between $30,000 and $75,000. He has also gone from an 11-point deï¬

Damn, one day I decide to sleep in and eplaya starts to heat up. Oh well, Simon, you've been doing a grand job.

I guess I've gotta do all the work.

Looks like it might be phony--and from a site that Rs can't readily disagree with--

http://michellemalkin.com/2008/10/23/wh ... lly-weird/

But I'll bet they'll try.

And that blows up my sardonic initial post on this, folks, it REALLY is a might be real/might be fake situation.

Well, if it's fake, I hope they nail her to the wall

But jkisha, you DID. As did I. There is no official word yet other than the initial police report.

So try to hold the smug, okay? We can have a big ol'gloatfest if it pans out.

And if it doesn't? Wait--don't tell me--there'll be some unrelated post that pushes your gaffe away.........

I think I'll continue being smug on this one.

All of her myspace, flicker, etc. web sites have now been taken down or made private--and they were pretty weird to begin with--you can still find some of the cached pages--which I checked out.

I saw this first on either CNN or MSNBC (they are in the back-ground just about every minute I am awake) The story immediately caught my attention, then they showed the picture. I just couldn't stop laughing when I saw that the "B" was carved backward. IT WAS SOOOOO OBVIOUS that she did it herself.

If I am wrong on this one I will never disagree with you ever again on eplaya. How's that for confidence?

No--that's no way to have a gloatfest--you need music--and 'pound it'? You really don't want to tell anyone to jerk off-whether they're gloating, or being gloated at.

Sigh.

You know what really sucks though? I waited after this was reported. I waited for the trusty 24 hour news cycle to have shaken it out before I said anything. Checked the news sites, checked the blogs.

Nothing.

And so I post.

Crap.

I fully and heartily accept the derision that I invited. Have at me.

Calif. gay marriage ban backers target businesses

Excerpt of letter sent to businesses that made a donation to No on Prop 8:

"Make a donation of a like amount to ProtectMarriage.com which will help us correct this error," reads the letter. "Were you to elect not to donate comparably, it would be a clear indication that you are in opposition to traditional marriage. ... The names of any companies and organizations that choose not to donate in like manner to ProtectMarriage.com but have given to Equality California will be published."

Republicans, no doubt! They are the best at extortion.

hi you guys.......

Disneyland, was, as always, great.......although, food poisoning got me for a day and half...........I think I may understand childbirth now.......hahahaaha

And, I didn't watch the news or discuss politics with anyone.
What a refreshing week.
Not that I don't enjoy spirited discussion......I do......but, it's nice to turn off the noise sometimes...........

I do notice in 'catching up', some folks are taking this awfully seriously, and, it would even seem, personally........yikes..........

The Alice in Wonderland ride gave me great perspective on it all, really.........
