A-Fucking-Men!

I wasn’t talking about him getting caught wanking in public. I just meant that he, as a musician, well, sucks.

Yeah, I think Matt was just taking advantage of the double entendre. Hence the “-what?” at the end. You know Matt, it’s always all about sex with him.😉

Gee, would anybody mind if I talked about the OP for a minute?

Ahem.

It is not just the right but the obligation of citizens of a free society to criticize their leaders.

The woman is an ass.

Ok, you can go back to talking about Wham now.

Actually, could the republicans have it any better right now? They can criticize the democrats all they want because if the democrats fight back, they are branded un-american. And nobody wants that with an election coming up. Thats why they are all on the steps of the capital saying the pledge together. It is sickening on both sides. And the ones I am the most angered with? The democrats. I think Bush is doing a lousy job (and so do they) but nobody dares say the wrong thing. If this doesn’t change, Bush will be around 4 more years and he can do a hell of a lot more damage in that time.
