Hopefully better outfits than the one she was sporting last Tuesday. Jesus that was horrendous.

The wingnuts were right. The terrorists in the White House have already struck. Dozens of fashionistas wandered the streets blindly, having lost their vision upon seeing Michelle’s election night outfit. Perez Hilton: “OMG, totally, like, is a dress, much, tubular, like, worn or something.”

Of course the Morans, er, Mormoni (as well as the Knight of Columbus aka Koc-heh) are upset that the No on Prop 8 forces are exercising their (once) Constitutional right to protest unlike their rather unconstitutional breaching of the boundary between state and church and violation of various tax exempt statutes.

Here’s hoping that Barry will make the head of the IRS a gay tax lawyer who can hold a grudge.

On Sunday, he urged backers of gay marriage to follow the lesson he learned as a bodybuilder trying to lift weights that were too heavy for him at first. “I learned that you should never ever give up. . . . They should never give up. They should be on it and on it until they get it done.”

Wow… pearls of wisdom. And people laughed when Schwartzenegger first ran for office.

MathewBrooks November 10, 2008 at 9:01 am

How is this even noteworthy? “A power-sharing agreement in Zimbabwe has yet to be reached.”

Robert Mugabe is a psychotic monster who will cling to power like bitters to their guns.

On Sunday, [Schwarzenegger] urged backers of gay marriage to follow the lesson he learned as a bodybuilder trying to lift weights that were too heavy for him at first. “I learned that you should never ever give up. . . . They should never give up.”

Also, they should bulk up on steroids.

If California can’t handle a little man-on-man-matrimony action, is there much hope for any other state trying to legalize it? I mean, California is kind of like the mothership for “dem queerz”, and they can’t even get the job done, leaving it up to bean-eating Bostoners and weaselly Connecticut…ers… Connecticutans… Connecticutonions… people from Connecticut.

California banning gay marriage is like Wisconsin banning bratwurst and beer.

I like that Michelle’s going for a low-key approach. Considering the knee-deep bullpoop we’re gonna be in for the coming future, I wouldn’t really want a power-thirsty maniac in a yellow pantsuit trying to single-handedly save healthcare, I’d want a smiling, Eleanor Roosevelt type to tell me in a calm, cheery voice over my ham radio to save scrap metal and buy victory bonds.

JESUS IS LOVE November 10, 2008 at 9:15 am

I’m so tired to listen all that “Bush is bad and a liar and war in Iraq is illegal and blah blah…” stuff, so I clear a few points for you.

First of all every American should know that Bush is inspired by God himself! He has told us few times that God told him to liberate Iraq. So if you have broblem with Bush’s foreign politics, you have a problem with God.

You should never forget that God is on Americas side. For us it might seem that children and women die in Iraq, but God knows that those people are or are going to be terrorist at some point, so we prevent them to become terrorist and bomb them with Freedom-Bombs. Those bombs will save hudreds of American lives.

It is said in the Bible that you should do to people as you wish them to do to you. When you drop Freedom-Bombs, you get freedom! More you drop, more you get! It is in the Bible!

Then you say: “This is not democracy, this is tyranny!”

Well you can go live in Iraq if you want! America is the greatest Democracy in the world. For me Democracy means freedom of choise. We can choose to support Bush when God leads him to conquer the World by spreading Freedom as much as possible. After all, that is our God given right, ask Bush if you don’t believe me. And there is Freedom-haters everywhere. We have Freedom-Bombed over 50 countries after World War II, so practically the rest of the world hates freedom and American way of life.

OR you can choose not to support Bush and thus become a Freedom-hating Terrorist and put in a jail. If you do not like freedom, you do not deserve it!

“You are with us or you are with the Terrorists!”

Don’t tell me that is not Democracy! It is your choise

[re=171815]mattbolt[/re]: so now you indulge in pop psychiatry and crude provokations against my parents to incite me? My you certainly have a way of burying your self. My position in regards to the government reflects the fact that government admits no fault or responsibility and itself indulges in the blame game. For me to adopt another position would be self loathing. so you know that the ability to use highlighter, change colour, text and underline does not change the fact that you are spewing forth verbose diahorea right? Again your responses reflect an inability to connect with what I am saying, when at no time have i drawn other posters into our argument by inference or direct reference. that is entirely your paranoia. when you respond to me you are not responding to my point but the projected externalization of your own psychosis. your psychosis is an externalizing one which reflects a psychopathy as opposed to a sociopathy. the need to creat an enemy to defeat to make your own world right is symptomatic of the paranoid delusional mindset.

[re=171820]Weeping Jesus[/re]: here is my favourite nugget from that article:

Palin: “wait a minute, how did we run up a 10 trillion dollar debt in a Republican administration? How have there been blunders with war strategy under a Republican administration? “

finallyhappy November 10, 2008 at 10:10 am

So I see Palin lovers are already thinking about a 2012 ticket- Palin/Steele. What I like about it is the Republicans who didn’t like Palin this time for being ignorant and divisive won’t vote for her although they might go for Steele but a lot of Palin supporters are racist and they won’t vote for Steele.

Hey, everybody! Lay off Michelle! She’s like a Spitfire; a rare combination a stunning beauty and brute power. She could make a burlap sack look good. Besides, she’s miles above the Dick Tracy character currently residing in the White House.

10K people marching in the the streets to protest the gay marriage ban on Saturday night in Los Angeles. I was among them. Then they marched on the Saddleback Church later in the weekend–you know Rick Warren’s church? The Jesus debates were held there.

Basically the entire political class on the left made a few noises and then shut up. Thanks, guys.

I’m done with dutifully heading to the polls to vote Democratic, and then have them turn around and throw us under the bus. They count on our votes but don’t do anything to deserve them.

Except, of course, for being a better option than all the others. Le sigh.

Hey there, Jesus Is Hot Sexy Love, it’s not funny any more. At first I thought you were an ignorant troll, and responded with appropriate name calling and make funnery, but then you posted that one comment where all of the words were spelled correctly, and outed yourself.
You can’t just go back, dude. It’s like when Borat keeps hassling somebody even after they’ve made it clear that they know they’re the butt of a joke and don’t appreciate it. It’s like when my 5 year old decides that something that got a laugh once will continue to be funny if repeated every 5 seconds.
I appreciate your artistic endeavors, your contribution to the evolution of snark, but it’s time to die and be reborn, take 3 days off and come back with a different name.

A. Some of the goofy things like who was Trig’s mom. Well, I’m Trig’s mom (raises her hand) and do you want to see my medical records to prove that?”

Why yes, yes we do. A one page fax from Dr. Nick does not count as releasing your medical records.

Also, cunt.

Gorillionaire November 10, 2008 at 11:34 am

I love how Bible Spice says in that interview “I’m that kid’s mom, you don’t believe me you can look at my medical records” but the only med records she has released are from some backwater general practitioner who wrote a one page letter that says “eh, she looked ok to me.”
