9/11 truth truth!

Time to bust out the tasers?

Nothing dampens fun so much as insanity. And here I’m talking about Bill Maher’s hecklers as well as the ones showing up in this otherwise gentle snarking club.

I guess you can point your finger at the current state of mental health care in this country, but that’s not funny either.

Ah, full moon - that must be what brought that guy out (see comments under last post…). Have fun, Allison!

For those who haven’t seen Bill in person, he’s a teeny little ol’ guy, so you’d best believe he made sure those big bouncers were in front of him before he multi-handedly threw the scandalizers out of his studio with their home grown shenanigans.

I think he just wanted to back up his controversial thesis that americans are very demonstrative cowards.

Quasi-off-topic hijack (so what’s new).

Was wondering if what people thought of this: http://www.reason.com/news/show/123103.html?

I’m not familiar with the magazine site it’s on (someone sent me the link) so I can’t speak to whatever biases come with it. Just wondering if folks here agreed or not.

And does this strategy: http://www.reason.com/news/show/123120.html
have any chance of overcoming the volume of yelling from everybody else.?

(sorry not more original comments on my part. i’m out enjoying the miraculous warm sunny weather after the monsoon we had thurs-fri-sat. Then again, I wish we could have sent the monsoon down the coast to So. Cal. Hope any FanAppers down that way are safe and not being smoked (or burned) out).

Reason’s mission is to advance a free society by developing, applying, and promoting libertarian principles, including individual liberty, free markets, and the rule of law.

That disclaimer from their website, plus the ad for “Right Shirts Done Right” with the sultry young lady wearing the “I survived Roe v Wade” tee shirt, makes me think I don’t have much in common with their philosophy. I do, however, like the way Libertarians rail against the marijuana laws.

Thanks Jim. I missed that. Must have been a different ad showing when I pulled it up.

dee, I too remember being out in the field under a full moon and wishing to Hell it was a new moon, but probably we’re talking about different experiences and different outcomes.

Hey, guys. You know, PhDale has been pretty scarce around here lately. You think she may have gone off with Vinnie to Ibiza after all? He may have talked her into being a translator for him. Or maybe she’s just catching up on her sleep - that’s probably it.

I hate to bust up the party atmosphere here tonight, but read it and weep.

You’d think that by now the Congress would catch on that these “emergency” appropriations for Bush’s War ™ are not really emergencies and really do count when it comes to figuring out the national budget. Most of them are really not that bright, are they?

$8000 from every man, woman, and child. And you just know that the BushCo cronies, who are benefiting the most from this regime, are never going to pay even that much.

“Rain…Rain…Beau-ti-ful…Rain!!!” Ladysmith Black Mambazo - 10/25/1990. So true. And after the last 2 days, we’re only around 13″ below normal.

Yo, Dale! Tell da trut’ now. You bitched about Guido’s back hair swirling out f’om under his cassock and up his neck - like kudzu, ya said. So, being da perfect gentlemen dat we bot’ are, we went back to da room and I shaved his back. It took hours. So, we finished wit’ dat and come out of da room - Guido finally put on his swim suit - and ya shriek wit’ horror at his white skin and Big House tattoos dat you can finally see, now dat I got all da hair out of da way. Ya got ta be careful of what ya wish for, Doc.

And what’s wit’ de “lubricated” high jinks crack? We wuz just puttin’ on da’ tanning oil, like every high bred dandy knows ta do. I t’ink we just hadda misunderstandin’. Maybe we’ll try gettin’ toget’er again sumtime, when your not so jacked up f’om writin’ your t’esis and late night studyin’. You’re a pretty swell girl, ya know?

In Hendersonville NC for a couple of weeks. The celebration of the showers has been in full swing here as well.

It was a controlled demolition? Yeah, right, like these bozos have anything under control or could successfully plan and carry out a complex undertaking. Carry off the national treasury, yeah. Fuck up a bologna sandwich, yeah. Destroy a country, sure. Organize and successfully execute a complex plan? What are these conspiracy theorists smoking, and can I have some, please?
