TPM is reporting that the dude was hoping to get iced by an F-16.
Apparently, no one let him in on the fact that Washington DC is the capital of US America.
YAY!
Sarah, our favorite Hobo, has returned!
Were you on a cruise in the Straits of Hormuz? Perhaps strolling in the Valley of Swat?
What – no foreign bombings in our Briefing? I guess the terrorists don’t know that Sara is back.
First Quarter ‘Losings’ report just doesn’t have that thing, that ring. Doesn’t want to roll off the tongue.
To be blunt, I’m not surprised someone stole a plane from Thunder Bay.
There isn’t much to do in Thunder Bay.
I expect stocks will dip and then rise again by the end of the day. Market psychology is looking up, and if I may be so bold as to paraphrase Aristotle: Douchebag Wall Street brokers hate Barack Obama, but they love money more.”
Truck Nutz — “Still Salmonella Free”
‘quake in fear’
too soon.
I look forward to fingerbanging all of them.
Oh shit wrong thread.
The stock market can go down? But one of those annoying loud guys crom CNBC said the recession is over!
(Let the depression begin)
Is there salmonella in acorns?
In India you can throw shoes at the Home Minister (basically like our Attorney General) and not get charged with a crime? Now that’s what I call a free country. He’d be in Gitmo if he’d done that in America.
The most important question that remains largely unanswered, said officials and veteran lawyers, is whether the corner cutting, especially the serial concealment of information damaging to the government, was a result of flawed judgments and heavy workloads or an intentional step by prosecutors to increase their chances of a high-profile conviction.
Or whether it was programmed incompetence by a bunch of partisan hacks who loved America too much to prosecute a fellow Republican without blatant grounds for appeal?
[re=282594]Sussemilch[/re]: No, but TruckNutz do have a partial taint.
[re=282588]Come here a minute[/re]: Dang
[re=282596]jagorev[/re]: Yeah, they should thank us. Oh, wait.
[re=282588]Come here a minute[/re]: Dammit.
[re=282587]Serolf Divad[/re]: One of my favorite quips of Aristotle. Too bad he missed the mark on Poetics. Hope he shorted it anyway.
[re=282597]SayItWithWookies[/re]: Or they all went to Regent Law and had no fucking idea what they were doing?
Plus they cheated because God told them to.
OT Barry makes a surprise stop in Baghdad. Safe travels Hopemaster.
[re=282614]hobospacejunkie[/re]: most likely.
Iraqi shoe hero, Muntadhar al-Zeidi, has had his sentence reduced from 3 to 1 year. Because he is a shoe hero.
[re=282630]bitchincamaro[/re]: Shoe hero? Is that going to be the next big Wii phenomenon?
The Christo-Goobers were given 8 years and the only thing they could do was suck Saudi penis, suck wall street penis and take it in the rectum from a goat herder in a cave. You can’t write comedy-gold like this.
No one, no one, could’ve ever done as badly as Bush and his crew of overblown imbeciles.
And now they want America to endure, “Reagan with Tits” Palin and “Neut-tron-bomb” Gingrich?
Oh, YEOW! Somebody’s been dipping into the Sterno, again!

Why didn’t the Cessna thief land the plane on the Red Square, Moscow?
[re=282586]ManchuCandidate[/re]: Thunder Bay: the Wasila of the South
[re=282617]DoctorCulturae[/re]: Damn, I had Afghanistan in the office pool.
Iraq shortened the sentence of the famous shoe thrower from three years to one. I predict he’ll be back on the street in a month…with new shoes.
We better pray that salmonella doesn’t show up in teh hobo beans.
This is a day that will live in infamy. Now we need to build an even higher fence along the northern border to stop fanatic Canadians from attacking Missouri again. We also need to strongly retaliate by invading Monaco.
