Wrong. Get it right, ‘just brown and water’ is decaf coffee. ![]()
You’re right. Saturday is a much better day to spice things up.
Why am I suddenly hungry?
I don’t know where you are but it’s lunch thyme here.
All these names are going on the list. Soon.
Must be too late to curry favor then.
Come on if you think you’re taffy 'nuff.
Don’t be such a sour puss. It’s no use crying over spilled milk.
Sad day when people regard 44,000 clams as small potatoes. I’d be more than happy to steak a claim to it.
Lettuce us move on, peas. If more ribbing is kneaded just for the halibut, veal free to launch a second-course thread: Spare ribs.
The thread topic deserves real beef: The Atlantic has an interesting article “What If Rand Paul Were a Woman?” suggesting the junior senator from Kentucky gets a pass on his stupidities because he’s male. If she were a woman, the debate would focus on the dichotomy “Pretty vs. Pretty Dumb.”
The only Stupid Republican Idea in that would Paul’s ideas in general, wouldn’t it?
Without a birth certificate, how do we know he’s not a woman, posing as a man in order to gain advantage?
In a retro-nostalgic revival of the old spoils system, Louisiana Gov. Bobby Jindal has been appointing campaign donors to public offices. (Not sure if this falls under “stupid” or “corrupt,” assuming any need to choose.)
Rush Limbaugh: Democrats have turned women into “abortion machines.”
George W. Bush is going to raise funds for the Messianic Jewish Bible Institute, an organization dedicated to converting Jews to Christianity.
NJ Gov. Chris Christie yells at a teacher.
“Why,” a New Jersey teacher asked Gov. Chris Christie (R), “do you continue to spread the myth that our schools and teachers are failing?”
The teacher who asked this at a campaign rally in Somer’s Point on Saturday (ahead of Tuesday’s gubernatorial election in the state) is Melissa Tomlinson, an elementary school teacher who also runs an after-school program. Christie answered in his trademark Christie way: by yelling at her. He pointed a finger at her, as this picture shows, and shouted:
“Because they are!”
He also said:
“I am tired of you people. What do you want?”
Tomlinson’s question seems like a fair one, given that New Jersey public schools overall have long done extremely well on the metric that school reformers like Christie believe are the most telling about academic achievement: standardized test scores. You can take a look here at some of the stats. By this standard, it seems that most New Jersey teachers are doing their jobs — despite severe education budget cuts of at least $1 billion by the Christie administration (according to this Star-Ledger piece). That of course hasn’t stopped Christie, as Jersey Jazzman notes here on his useful education blog, from repeatedly attacking teachers and their unions.

I like the Reasons She 9the author of the piece) likes this, given at the end:
- Saves a ton of money and time waiting in abortion clinic waiting rooms when what I really want to do, as a lady, is get straight to the abortin’! One thing women love more than anything is vaginal cramping and bleeding! I love doctors, man! I love having my genitalia scrutinized over by people wearing novelty scrubs! All bitches do!
- I’ve always wondered what it would be like to be a robot. Once my transition to machine is complete, I’m going to go around saying ABORT ABORT ABORT in a robot voice to my robo-friends and we’re all going to laugh and laugh because that can mean two things.
- Abortion Machine is a good band name.
#3 shows that, if she isn’t already, she’d be a good Doper.

What do you mean revival? You think that ever went away in Louisiana?
When we lived there all three people running for Agriculture Commissioner were either convicted felons or were awaiting trial.
Jindal is just trying to blend in.
George W. Bush is going to raise funds for the Messianic Jewish Bible Institute, an organization dedicated to converting Jews to Christianity.
Well if Bush wants to use some enhanced techniques for converting Jews, and let’s face it, his administration PIONEERED enhanced interrogation techniques (cough)waterboarding(cough) then I know of some Jews who have the experience and the skills to help him out with his enhancements. Granted, they don’t come cheap …

Typical Loseranna, trying to pretend they are more fucked that Texas. In Texas, corrupt isn’t against the law, corrupt is the law!
