Given that Ortiz single-handedly whipped the Cardinals into submission, "King Kong" would be the better epithet. I'm sure that's what they meant.

You have no choice - the right to be an asshole is in the Constitution. (Not explicit, but it seems to be the #1 implicit right.)

I'm reminded of that moment when President Bush climbed the rubble of the WTC and put his arm around the firefighter, and someone in the crowd shouted, "<i>Gawd-bless-America!</i>". Not as a prayer or an exhortation but more a battle cry, an animal call to arms.

Mound City is not a cow town! How can you say that?

It is a beer and shoe town.

Whenever I find myself with a surplus of love and faith in the better angels of my fellow man, I make a point of sitting near the penalty box of a hockey game. Problem solved.

Best use of "all y'all" - Rasheed Wallace of the NBA's Portland Jailblazers screaming Fuck all y'all in the middle of a game. Google the YouTubes.

Southern English is the only English to have a plural "you." It's actually one of the most civilized things to come out of the South, along with BBQ and painting the ceiling of your front porch blue.

And from Wiki: In the Civil War, Missouri was a border state that sent men, armies, generals, and supplies to both opposing sides, had its star on both flags, had separate governments representing each side, and endured a neighbor-against-neighbor intrastate war within the larger national war.

In other words, old habits die hard.

Does this deluded bimbo really believe what she's saying? More n' likely, her kind was more in the "fuckin' took all of your freedoms in that whole slavery thing" camp.

They must feel so proud after they scream incoherently at innocent people. They probably go home, wash their spittle-flecked ragy faces, and get on FaceSpacePlace to tell all their fellow troglodytes and trolls all about it, then go to bed and dream of internment camps.

<i>"we gave you your freedoms" </i>

I thought we were endowed with freedom by our Creator. Must be a typo in the Declaration of Independence.
