Wow, John Hancock must have had knees like Torgo to accomodate that signature.
The Cruz family reminds me a lot of the (Mel) Gibson family.
Mike Rogers explains the “It Ain’t Cheatin’ If You Don’t Get Caught” emanation from the penumbra of the Fourth Amendment.
Senate Republicans filibuster two of President Obama’s nominees
Heading toward a revision of the filibuster rules? The GOP needs to pick its fights in the Senate. Yes, it’s OK to fight against appointments where the nominee is unqualified in your opinion. But stopping nominees simply to gum up government is a practice that just must stop.
Now, I don’t know the elder Cruz from Adam here, but what strikes an odd note is that bit about a Castrol rebel captured by Batista and gets a beating? Do I need to adjust my impression of Batista away from an evil and brutal lizard-hearted creep?
There are really not that many good guys or bad guys in Cuban history; most important figures, from Columbus on, are both.
Virginia State Senator Mark Obenshain, the Republican candidate for AG, once sponsored a bill that would have required women to report miscarriages to the police. And the fetal remains could not be removed without official permission.
I say “almost” because an amendment to the bill allowed him to cast his vote, even though his ID called him “Gregory Wayne Abbot” and he was registered as “Greg Abbot”. Abbot opposed that amendment when it was put up.
Who put up said amendment? Wendy Davis, of course (who was also flagged and almost prevented from voting for the same reason).
luc, why does your username show as elucidator in your post that I quoted, but as Rotten Sumbitch in the quote within my post?
BG friend, did you miss the unsettling events of the past few days? There was a – ahh, minor accident and 85 or so Dopers were infected with some kind of gerbil zombie virus or something. The most obvious symptom was a transmogrification of user name. That, and a craving for[del] braaaiiiinnnnnnsssss[/del] – uhh, unusual taste treats.
Well, yes, I did, somehow.
Please have some brain candy.
Some call me the Spaced Cowboy, others call me the Gangster of Loofah…
I don’t know the extent to which the elder Cruz was brutalized by Batista’s bad boys, I bet all the reports are from Cruz Sr. and no telling how he slanted them, though his claims of being a Castro supporter and giving speeches in his favor after getting to the US could easily be double-checked.
Loofah! Now, you’re just getting mean.
OK, so this may have already been brought up since it happened way back in July of 2013, but my search came up empty, so here it is:
Virginia GOP Gubernatorial Candidate Wants To Outlaw Oral Sex, Even For Married Couples
What IS it with these folks? Have they all lost their minds?
Simple jealousy. If they’re not getting some, nobody gets some.
You’d think anyone nicknamed “Cooch” wouldn’t be so much of a dick.
They’re going to need teeny little drones if they want to spy behind everyone’s bedroom doors.
So, you thought those were mosquitoes? By the way, if you read that copy of Kama Sutra on your bedside table, my job would be a lot more interesting…
Maybe it’s because he doesn’t get enough… dick, that is.
