  • I read a book a few months ago, can’t remember the name or author. The plot was very similar to what we know so far about this case: a college student abducted from campus, held in a garden shed, bore two children during the many years she was held captive. I don’t know if it was fiction or non-fiction, but it irritated the crap out of me.

    Why was I irritated? Because the door was locked with an electronic keypad. The girl tried various means of escape over the years, including punching random numbers into the keypad, but was never successful at it. It was only a 4 digit number, and not once in however many years did she think to start at the beginning – 0000, 0001, 0002, etc. She could have been out in a week, tops!

    What is the “electronic keypad” for these girls? How come it took 10 years for three girls? True, the kidnappers would have been very careful at first, but nobody can sustain that level of hypervigilance for longer than a few weeks. Clearly, the kidnappers should die, but why did it take 10 years?

  • I refuse to pay for the trash on HBO, so haven’t seen the show; however, I have read the books. In the book Eddard Stark was an honest and honorable man who was killed by evil persons. I’d say that just about sums up the liberals behind the show and the netowrk, eh?

  • Picture it: It’s the War of 1812. We are at war against the British again, just 29 years after the Treaty of Paris ended the Revolutionary War. By the time the song is written in September of 1814, we’re all but demoralized. The Brits have set our newly-erected White House on fire, and they’re moving up the coast.

    Fort McHenry is under attack. The soldiers are being bombarded. Wave after wave of artillery comes at them, but they keep fighting. Their comrades die in their arms, but they keep fighting. Everywhere there are wounded, but even the wounded keep fighting. Imagine the stench, the sights. For over 25 hours these men fight.

    Francis Scott Key, who had been detained on a British ship up the river, sees the flag and writes the poem “In Defense of Fort McHenry.” Having been a soldier during the Revolutionary War, he knew the fear the men at Fort McHenry felt. He knew intimately what kind of courage it required to persevere in the face of that fear.

    This country was founded in battle, by the courageous men and women of the 18th and 19th centuries. We need to be reminded on a regular basis that “Freedom Isn’t Free”, nor was it ever. The brave men and women of today are still paying the price, and individuals such as Bill Press don’t understand. They are cowards, themselves, and acts of bravery by others only serve to highlight that.

  • No, Jennie, most real men eat what makes them happy. I doubt any man, in the privacy of his own home, eats meats so others will applaud. BTW: you can’t possibly think that men care about others’ opinions more than women.

  • You eat what you want, I’ll eat what I want.

  • Just another stupid, liberal study – but I’m being redundant.

    Just because a food seems more feminine, doesn’t mean women are more likely to prefer it. Perhaps the students decided salad was more feminine because it is lighter fare. It certainly doesn’t mean women would rather eat it. Likewise, meat is heavier and firmer – more masculine. Absolutely ridiculous!

    For the record, I agree salad is more feminine and meat is more masculine. As a woman, I will eat the salad because of the health benefits, but prefer the meat.

  • Who wrote that he shouldn’t be allowed to do that to himself? He looks like an imbecile, but he is welcome to mutilate himself. Good luck trying to find a job (other that tattoo “artist”) though because, like him, the rest of us have the right to tell him to get lost.

  • “And when he wears the iPod in public, he gets his fair share of stunned responses.”

    Really, With all the other crap he has on him, who actually can see the stupid IPod?

  • Finally, some honesty from Newsweek. Obama is our first gay president, and this has been in the works for years.

    I firmly believe that Obama’s announcement and this article are clearing the way for his divorce and his declaration that he is actually gay. Half the world thinks Michelle is his beard, and I’ve been predicting they will divorce within 5 years after he leaves the White House (if he ever leaves the White House). It makes perfect sense.

  • This nasty, old hag thinks she’s clever by advocating they occupy private buildings to get back at the evil landlords. If I was that evil landlord I would burn the place to the ground before I let that vermin-infested lot take up residence. Then what would they occupy?
