Marriage has little to do with procreation. To make marriage exclusive, is to trivialize it.

Re: Responding To The Progressive Obama Haters Not Quite One Year Out

The President proposes, the Congress disposes.

..then the President wallows in powerlessness, while his sycophants attend to him.

Jack Turner, I read this post, and found it greatly annoying!

First, in the quote you posted....Zirin makes no real "political analysis"...he merely comments on Democratic turnout, versus Republican turnout, pointing out the fact that Democratic turnout was lower than 2008. He goes on to suggest that Democrats are demoralized by Obama not "bringing home the goods". What is faulty about that?

I'm not fond of sports, nor am I in any mood to defend sportscasters...but what does his profession have to do with his ability to comment on the performance of his President?

Nowhere in his huffpo piece does he use the word "failure" in the context that you suggest...which is that Obama is a failure because he hasn't done everything he set out to do.

I suggest that you stick to recommending books you haven't read, by authors who insist that despite having written 20,000 words, the book-buying public only needs to know 5 of those words.

So, in addition to canvassing and donating..they must also beg.

Obama doesn't respond to love..

I love technical math!.. it's the most 'practical' and 'funnest' kind of math. And yes, so-called blue collar jobs require quite a lot of math, understanding blueprints, tolerances and measurement accuracy. Also, today's carpentry and tool making is done by million dollar numerical control machines that require a knowledge of geometry, and programming...It is not mindless, by any stretch.

I just had my HINI vaccine at a flu clinic in Toronto. It took about 40 minutes, including a 15 minute "observation" wait afterward. It was brisk, efficient, and I didn't feel a damned thing... I asked that man if he was sure he gave me the shot.. There was no charge, and only a short questionnaire. Till the end of this week, Ontario has restricted vaccines to high risk groups, because of a rush after a 12 year old died. Beginning next week, it will be open to the general public.

Get your vaccines!...then you won't have to worry about it anymore.

Re: Michael Jackson: Does It Matter If He’s Black Or White?

Sorry..way behind on responses..

That denial thing about plastic surgery was part of the weirdness of show biz..imo. We ALL knew he had work done..wink

It's a game they all play..and Michael was expert at playing the game.

"Inappropriate relationships"? ...Michael was a target for any grifter... and maybe yes, the kids were part of his image.. But, a child rapist is a very special kind of person... Not just anyone has it within himself to penetrate a child's body.. I don't see that in Mike.

The Congress is not who Obama needs to worry about, it's The People.

Michael's movies are extremely popular for a reason.

Re: A worthy rant from BooMan on Obama criticism from the Left blogosphere

Shit..you had to do all that the EARN the right to criticize your president?!

"love my president"..what does that mean exactly, from the standpoint of a citizen? From the standpoint of a sycophant, I understand what it means, but from a CITIZEN..?

It seems to me that Obama's presidency is calling up a great deal of misplaced emotion/grievance from people who project their personal stories onto him...suddenly "why isn't he standing up for the public option?" becomes "why didn't you take out the garbage last night, you lazy negro?"..

After George Bush, Americans are wise to "bitch" about every little thing...and Obama is taking full advantage of the power grabs of the Bush administration, using them for cover after himself "bitching" about those same power grabs.

If Americans are not careful, they may find themselves after 8 years, with nothing but fond memories of Obama's bare chest.

Do you think white people are looking at her head and wondering 'what the hell happened here?'

..probably not.

Following that logic, then it is not advisable to elect any future black candidates...because, they are hobbled by their race, and cannot govern unhampered.

If it does, and you're an ambitious black person...then you've got a serious problem...or you have cover, an automatic excuse for your failures.

Thanks, dthomas_85

I wonder what Obama really believes in..or does he believe that THE PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES shouldn't believe in anything in particular, except national security, and maintaining the economic status quo?

Keep fighting the good fight ;)

Something inside me is resistant to replying to a cultist...even a pretend one. Either way, there is something seriously amiss at the mental/emotional level.

You all are motherfucking creepy...weird...even weirder than the town hall screamers.

Ya know, I'm not one for piling on(too cultlike).. But I agree, completely, with the rest also.

Hey, I can't agree with you on the "God" bit..

But thankfully, the ones who remain sane will carry on the species..

Sombody_took_my_username — Sat, 10 Oct 2009 16:33:58 -0000

Yes indeed..

It does have a certain "howling", "yapping" quality to it, no? Very guttural and animalistic.

...Is that a reference to abusive whippings, from experience?

Tell us about it.

You are absolutely correct..

EVERYBODY was stunned.

That award wasn't flattery...it was a slap, followed by a kiss. It was a warning from the world, a reminder to the USA of it's warmongering past..

It's like giving the sloppiest person the award for good hygiene...one wonders if it's encouragement, or insult!

When people who have posted here for a long time suddenly come to the conclusion that Rikyrah is being paid to post certain things, and that she's actually white, that's derangement.

Holy crap...someone said that?!! Well, I shouldn't be surprised...
