Is “gay sailor” redundant?

The GOPdoesn’t have to do anything to block Obama’s major initiatives. Just encourage conservative Democrats to do their job for them. Turns out 60 really is just a number. As is the number of people who will continue to die without proper medical care. As are the obscene profits of and congressional bribes (hi, Senator Baucus) from the health care industry.

How likely are investigators to find that the dead, burned gay sailor was raped by the not gay sailor before the gay sailor was set alight? Fire will burn away the the guilt I feel for being not gay. Fire will burn away the…

40% of americans approve of Palin- was this poll taken at the Walmart in Aberdeen, Maryland?! One scary place-do not stop there no matter how badly you have to pee(human-animal hybridz alert).

From the Washington Post: “Amid all the babble about Sarah Palin’s recent resignation as Alaska’s governor and amid all the speculation about her potential presidential bid, few have noted a new job for which she is eminently qualified: civil rights leader for people with intellectual
disabilities.”

No joke needed.

There’s a joke about a flaming gay seaman to be made here, but not by me.

“A fellow sailor has been charged with murdering a gay Navy guy and then setting the remains on fire”

And this incident will be used to justify DADT because this is a totally reasonable response to finding out your shipmate is gay.

Jeez, guys, like Zooey Deschanel much? What’s with the wrap around add thing?

The Grand Ol’ Pedophiles can employ their usual method of avoiding public scrutiny:
“No we ain’t! No we ain’t! No we ain’t! No we ain’t! No we ain’t! No we ain’t!”
Saying it repeatedly makes it true, y’know.

Here’s what I learned from the ABC News Palin story today: that ABC’s infographics “artists” are even stupider than the ones who work for USA Today. That “puzzle pieces with Palin with coPious alliteration” caption was unintelligible, like Charlie Gibson, also.

[re=369838]BadKitty[/re]: I think he realized his shipmate was gay only when he found said shipmate’s cock halfway up his rectum.

Shouldn’t a sailor dispose of a corpse by dumping it into the ocean? What’s the point of being a themed villain if you ignore your theme?

WadISay July 24, 2009 at 9:43 am

Not “get it” in what respect, Charlie?

lionboy July 24, 2009 at 9:46 am

ABC was kind enough to include a child’s explanation of favorability ratings in case Ms. Palin sees the story during her daily perusal of “everything.”

Also, I really don’t think the sailor’s murder had anything to do with his sexual orientation. The dude that killed him was just a complete nutbag high on mushrooms. But please, don’t let that stop the butt secks humor.

Oh, my friend, try stopping at the 24 hr Wal-Mart in Houma, Louisiana, anytime after 11 pm. The place would make David Lynch crap himself.

[re=369876]Terry[/re]: I pretty much thought that was the case for the entire South- day or night.

Sarah Palin may not “get it” when it comes to “understanding complex issues” but she gets the simple ones, like she should sell the jet the former governor used to impress chicks with.

What the fuck are you doing in skank-marts any way??
If they went out of buisness all the tards would die.

Goddamn, a gay sailor who went by the nickname ‘BJ’? Wow.
