Waco, “The Athens on the Brazos”, home of the feared and dreaded Baylor Bears. “The Vatican of the Baptists” (Molly Ivins). But Austin is where I’m going when I decide its time to party myself to death. ---

> [@elucidator](#): > > So, this segment edited out for “time constraints” was, what, maybe five seconds long? For a show that runs for roughly an hour? Say forty minutes, given commercials. So this segment represents, then, a reduction of one one hundred forty eighth part. And Hannity’s show is so tightly wired, someone went around saying “Hey, we’re too long, got to find five seconds to cut”. Right, got it. And the five seconds they cut just happened to be Barry O’s response to Major Major’s question. > > So, it was chosen at random, then? And no one noticed that that cut completely altered the context of Barry’s answer? In the entire menagerie of Fox News maroons, _no one_ noticed!? Not one of their professional staff, including Pumpkin Head, noticed. All an innocent mistake. > > Sure. Yeah, he could’ve saved time by cutting out the part where he lied about what Obama actually said. I mean the part where he was straight up lying, not the redacted video, but the part where the words coming out of his mouth were knowingly false. ---

A truly evolved man is not drawn to such purely physical characteristics, and does not judge on such superficial attributes. I admire them. ---

Actually no, a man who likes to tell people he is truly evolved is not drawn to such purely physical characteristics. 😉 A man who is truly evolved is attracted to them but not attached. 😉 ---

> [@Zakalwe](#): > > How mature is it that you simply accept the word of your Lord and Master on Obama’s citizenship rather than, you know, actually research the issue yourself (or, even easier, get your news from somewhere other than FreeRepublic or His Holiness Lord Limbaugh). > > Or is that you _do_ already know all of this and pretend not to just to get the reaction? I’ve already told you that I don’t read or post on Free Republic. I also don’t listen to Rush Limbaugh. If you want the truth, the citizenship thing has always to me seemed a non-issue. So I haven’t devoted any effort in researching it. Laziness on my part? I suppose. But I don’t chase down every conspiracy theory that I hear about. If there’s anything behind it, and it becomes a major issue with more than just the fringe, I’ll pay more attention. > [@mswas](#): > > You’d be amazed at how often people of above average intelligence have trouble grasping basic reading comprehension or elementary ideas. It’s astounding really. True. What I find truly astounding is how many intelligent people can’t spell or follow simple rules of grammar. Also, I never call anyone “stupid”, even if I am quite certain they are. It just seems unsporting, in some way. ---
