No Adolf Hitler yet? Harry Houdini? Though the thread implies a blow to the head.

I’d like to dig up Ayn Rand, run her over with a Range Rover a few times, punch her rotted corpse in the place where her heart ought to have been and then send her remains out into space where she could be exceptionally dead all by her exceptional self. She has a lot to answer for what with her infecting the selfish and weak-minded with her psychosis.

She really should have stayed in Russia and been raped by Stalin. I think she would have liked that.

I don’t know what the hell you’re talking about.

_What_ do I have no ability to actually accomplish? When did I blow said thing out my ass?

You are a strange ass.

Actually, he said “blowing out your ass.” **Rand Rover** tends to view others through the lens of his own experience, and assumes that everyone else has a similar familiarity with rectal prolapse.

The guy posing as my sheriff, [Joe Arpaio](http://www.arpaio.com/index.php). And a bitch-slap to all the dimbulbs who keep re-electing him. Shakes my faith in democracy, it does.

Katie Holmes - but not so much punch out as smack across the head with a clue-by-four.  
Same for Linda Blair, who is now obviously possessed by animal rights.

We seem to be developing a rather nasty trend here in my city for young girls to attack old women to try to rob them of their handbags (read also money, purses, credit cards).  
To date all have been caught and hopefully will be prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law.

The latest miscreant was apprehended with the broadest grin possible upon her face.

Oh how I would love to slap that silly grin from her smug face and, should she be found guilty, sentence her to some community time in a place where that smile would be wiped away.

Then I would get Bush,Cheney and Yoo to stand in line and get their turns.

gonzomax. He’s an idiot. He doesn’t know how interest works–he thinks that the math of interest is a conspiracy by mortgage companies to bilk us all, or something.

Anyone on those show’s that are like/and including “ **The Bachelor** ” or “ **The Bachelorette** ”.

If \*\*Katherine Heigl \*\*is as difficult as she’s being made out to be, I wouldn’t punch her… but something would go down!

Gee, that Heigl woman is such a bitch!

Let’s see, she declines an Emmy nod because she’s honest enough to admit the writing for her character is not worthy to be singled out, she defends her best friend from homophobic attacks, she has a problem with seventeen hour work days\*, and oh my gawd she smokes!!! Whew. I’m glad that shrew isn’t my friend.:rolleyes:

- My husband works 10+ hour days 4 days a week(not including overtime) and let me tell you he’s dog tired when he gets home.

TwiTwits who think the Edward Cullen character exemplifies the masculine and romantic ideal.

The dumb crazy speeding cunt who made a last-second lane change on Capital Blvd last Sunday and killed a unsuspecting woman who was waiting to turn left.

The owners of my fiancee’s company, who just pulled the plug on the Raleigh branch at the worst possible time, consequently turning our lives upside down.

My best friend’s idiot wife for cheating on him with someone in our circle and then walking out on the marriage, leaving best friend bewildered and heartbroken. Bitch-child, if you were unhappy in the relationship you should have TOLD him BEFORE you pulled that immature shit!
