  Um, Guys… When is April Fools Day? Just asking.

• Update: High School Senior to File Complaint After Third Racy Photo Rejected From Yearbook

  February 12, 2012 at 1:56pm

  Let me start by saying that I know the family personally. Her father is a friend of mine, and although I haven’t seen any of them in several years, we attended the same church.

  The last time I saw Sydney, she was around 8 years old. She was impressively mature in her outlook, smart, clever, creative, focused and headstrong.

  I seriously doubt that she is a slut (sorry, all you guys who were hoping otherwise). She wasn’t raised that way, and she would most likely view that behavior as a distracton.

  And she may well have submitted those photos with no other motive than to make herself look sophisticated in the yearbook, but I guarantee this: She is not going to let this opportunity go to waste.

  Did I mention that she is smart, clever, creative, and focused?

  How about “Viragios” instead?

  @NEWT

  Hitler was an engineer before he became a dictator, and he designed the Wolkswagon Beetle (Wolkswagon = “People’s car”) as a means of inexpensive transportation for the general populace.

  Obama stole GM from the people who invested in it by illegally denying them their share of the company, which he gave to the UAW instead.

  That’s why Hitler and Obama are part of the discussion.

• Goodbye to ‘the Negotiator’: Priceline Killing Off William Shatner

  January 21, 2012 at 11:41am

  Oh, come on, people! I can hear Shatner chuckling from here. This whole thing is the very essence of what is called a “Cliff-hanger” (in this case, quite liteerally).

  Who doesn’t see the possibilities of an imbrobable rescue, an “It was all a dream” sequence, or some other hackneyed Hollywood trick. As a matter of fact, I’m laughing in appreciation right now.

• Occupiers Allegedly Kicked Off Bus in TX: ‘Shut Up and Sit Down!’

  January 16, 2012 at 12:03pm

  In reply to Popp40.

  I agree, Popp40. This account is written from the viewpoint of a group of people, some of the national members of which have been known to fake harm, and to lie about events.

  I want to hear a step by step report of what happened and when, and who said what and when.

  Or hot from friction. She is setting a “blistering” pace.

• Taiwanese Reporter Tests Out Slide, Freaks Out Big Time

  It looks to me as if she was wearing a dress or loose, evening wear slacks. If her clothing rode up on her–well, you’d pobably scream too, if something was sanding your bottom off. Lol.

• Comedian Rosie O‘Donnell Says Newt Gingrich ’Should Read a History Book’

  December 11, 2011 at 1:05am

  Just guessing here, but it’s probably fair to say that Newt has read more book than Rosie hs ever owned, and has written more books than Rosie has ever understood.

• ‘Intimidation’: Atheists Demand That Texas Nativity Scene Be Torn Down Immediately

  @DR PEPPEr “Atheism is a religion”

  Actually, I believe that legally it really is. I seem to remember that during the Viet Nam War, celebrated atheist Madelyn Murray O’Hare convinced Congress to declare that it was, so that she could have her sons“ordained” as “ministers” of Atheism and so be elligible for a Contientious Objector deferment. As far as I know, this has never been recinded.

  So, does this mean that Government‘s denying another religion the right to display it’s symbols constitute the establishment of Atheism as the religion of the State? It gives one pause.
