Got a little time on my hands, and have been pondering some things. Like, what do you call somebody who’s afraid of words that are pronounced the same, but have different meanings? Also, if people from Nigeria are called Nigerians, what are people from Niger called? And, if the timetable in the Iraq funding legislation that dummy just vetoed was non-binding, how come I never heard any traditional media people say so? Come to think of it, how come I never heard any Democrats say, “we sent a bill funding the occupation with a non-binding timetable for withdrawal to a President who has shown such disdain for binding legislation that he feels free to issue signing statements proclaiming that the laws Congress passes don’t apply to him, so why did he veto the legislation, and who, exactly, is the one playing politics with our troops?” Just wondering. By the way, if you get bored, go here and see if you find antonyms or synonyms for the words antonym and synonym.

I like ‘fuck’ as a noun, as in
“We Evolve, and Thank Fuck for that” [Hitchcock] or
“I am Fuck. Fuck of The Mountain” [George Carlin].
Has anyone ever had ‘Fuck’ as a surname? Imagine how well he/she would do in an election. Who is really against Fuck? And if they are, well….. :sammy:
This is oh, so French:
“Mr. Sarkozy’s personal life has been less successful than his public one: in 1996, he divorced his first wife, with whom he has two sons, and married Cécilia Ciganer-Albeniz, with whom he had another son.
For years, Ms. Sarkozy acted as Mr. Sarkozy’s closest aide, but she left him to have a very public affair with another man in 2005. The couple have since reconciled, but Ms. Sarkozy has been notably absent from her husband’s presidential campaign, fueling rumors that he will inhabit Élysée Palace alone.”
Just like W and Laura.
Who is really against Fuck?

There was a PBS show last night about one of King Edward’s sons, John, who was sickly and died young, during WWI, and it was just so dreary. With the British Royals, there’s just no one to root for; what a pathetic mob of inbred useless people. I get the same feeling when The Sopranos comes on – Usually i wind up wishing that the Russian mob would come by during the early part of an episode and machine gun the whole bunch of them. Except Carmella, who isn’t that bad.

OK…I opted out of everything I could…didnt take long. I have so much recycling all the time and get so much junk…
y’know, gas is SO expensive here that I cant even find a much cheaper alternative pump…usually if I go down by the highway or to a certain citgo by the bird store I get a pretty good price (around $3) but its up to $3.29-ish everywhere…and then in greenwich its up to $3.59-3.89…incredible…and it happened so suddenly.
I keep getting $10 worth up here so I can wait till I go downtown, but thats only less than 3 gallons!! This is crazy! But also they said on the news here (because heaven knows that Im information starved now that AAR is over….) that crude hasnt gone up…they are artificially raising the prices. Shouldt that be against the law?
Oh, nonsense. Supply and demand, tut-tut, you consumers just don’t understand complicated economics. I heard the oil executive guy explain the whole thing just the other day. It’s not that they want to make record profits, but the market dictates that they have to. And they’re just sick over it. Honest.
Wow, PJ I can tell youre done with school because youve got time for the woot!!…decompressing!
That nav system is apparently pretty good…might be worth it…you think?
it got a good rating on epinions…but only 1 reviewer…but also costs the same on newegg….
There is a woman at my gym who says that she can only watch fox news because the rest of the news out there is propaganda…she knows because her husband told her so…and thats probably my problem with gas prices….I listen to the propaganda of that liberal outlet…ha…MSNBC…
It looks pretty close to the Nuvi I have. I saw one person who rated it saying it didn’t have the greatest directions, but that’s fairly subjective. If I didn’t have one already, I might go for it. I really like mine. When I drove to DC in January, I just put in the hotel name, and off I went. And now that I have it plugged into my car stereo, I use it more for an MP3 player than anything else. Just too bad I’m rarely in the car for more than a few minutes at a time.

Oh, yeah, I’ve been waiting for them to come to the US for years. You can import them yourself, but they’re supposed to open dealerships here at some point. You can actually park them head on (or tail on) to the curb, ‘cuz they’re only as long as a regular car is wide. No more parallel parking!
How much do those li’l cars cost? I didn’t see a price anywhere.
The standard car is ~$12000, the fancy one ~$14000 and the cabby is ~$17000. The page is here

lots of moisture.
i’m not complaining. :joe:
Damn right PJ!! God I am furious. That clown represents everything that’s wrong with America. Everything!!
Rebecca Roberts was substitute co-host on Morning Edition today. I did not realize that she replaced Laura Flanders here on Your Call Radio. I guess that explains the time I saw Cokie in my local supermarket.
I just can’t listen to Hartmann much anymore for just that reason, that he gives to much airtime to interviewing nuts. Meanwhile there is a pretty cool interview with Gary Shandling on Fresh Air. I thought he was pretty good on Bill Maher the other night as was Sean Penn. Harold Ford, on the other hand, well, you know the DLC :omg: and all that. I like it when the show folks are sharper than the politicians. I may have to watch that one again.
I had to get up and walk away, or I’d have smashed my computer. Hey, Jim, lots-o-sun here today, and warmer than I’d care for. I prefer the rain, myself; keeps the riff-raff away from the doggie park.

I just can’t listen to Hartmann much anymore for just that reason, that he gives to much airtime to interviewing nuts.
This is a little late but one of Hartmanns callers made a point about this and Hartmann actually starts explaining that the kook from ayn rand was actually a very thoughtful person and only wanted whats best for everyone. JEEZ!!!

Editorial Demands Grow for U.S. Pullout of Iraq
NEW YORK The editorial pages of many American newspapers have long been harshly critical of the conduct of the war in Iraq, but very few major papers have ever called for a U.S. withdrawal any time soon. The Washington Post has strongly opposed the idea, while The New York Times has started moving in the pullout direction. But the Los Angeles Times — which had backed the “surge” — took the strongest stand yet on Sunday, in an editorial titled simply, “Bring Them Home.”
Boomtastrophe
Baby Boomers hoped to die before they got old. They lied. And now they’re dragging the whole country down.
Vernon, re 55 🙁 :rant1: :pirate: 🙁 :growl: :fist: HiiiYaaa
re 57 🙄 but over all great article, saved to dissect later … thx
a.i.v. … Dark Angel Butterly … Stand Down
andy aka Aquaman, all i can say is … 🙄
now please a.i.v. ….. Dark Angel Butterfly.
Yeah, well, what’s Martin Kuz know, anyway? All those good Republican Gen X’ers are the Bush enablers. If anything, it was lack of spliffs and ‘shrooms that caused all the problems.
Vernon@57: nice scapegoating of an entire group of people. I thought we left that for the Republicans. Silly me. :fustrate: 😡
By the way, you don’t know it yet, but the generation that comes after you will blame you too.
You’re doing exactly what the wingnuts want you to do — find a group to blame while they’re picking your pocket. And you look just as ignorant when you do it.
There are some of us who are baby boomers who have been fighting for justice and a better society for 40 years. That we haven’t succeeded as well we wanted to is not for lack of trying. And we didn’t vote for George W. Bush, either.
And don’t go telling me “Oh, I don’t mean YOU.” People at college told me that right after they made some statement about Jews who would squeeze a nickel till it cried. Or asked me if I’m Jewish, how come I drive such an old car.
But you go right ahead blaming us and thinking if we all would have the decency to just die already that your life would be better. Whatever makes you feel better about yourself and your lot in life. But just be aware that you look no better than those who scapegoat blacks, Latinos, women, or immigrants when you do so.
Gee, I was on the verge of a “Don’t shoot all the dogs because a few got fleas” diatribe, but as always, Brilliant picked me up and saved me the trouble, and much better than I would have.
As far as that nitwit columnist goes, the Boomers didn’t start the Vietnam War [read The Best and the Brightest] – Boomers just fought in it, got killed in it, and protested to end it. :sammy:
People, people,
I just put that article there for the sake of argument and to show what was in a so-called alternative weekly owned by the same people who now own the once great Village Voice. I am as squarely in this jerks sights as anyone here and found the article pretty appalling. I should have put in a disclaimer but I had to run out to lunch suddenly.
I should have said “look at what this *hole is saying”.

Thanks pj. I figured everyone knew me better than that.
hmmmm I knew also, Vernon, see 58. 🙄 “Play on Play”. a.i.v.
Well vernon …. Generally its us old farts that vote so we as a group must encompass a lot of the IGNORANT MORONS who vote for lower taxes with their left hand and for defense spending that is greater than all the rest of the world combined with our right hand.
Over the next 25 years we will require the rest of us to come up with some 50 trillion dollars to finance our retirement but we let our politicians spend what we thought we had put in the bank so be prepared to explain to your kids why 70% of there paycheck must go to the government. :reaper: :reaper:
I finally got around to trying SYNONYM.COM, and check THIS out:
Overview of noun cunt
The noun cunt has 2 senses (no senses from tagged texts)
1. cunt, bitch — (a woman who is thoroughly disliked; “she said her son thought Hilary was a bitch”)
2. cunt, puss, pussy, slit, snatch, twat — (obscene terms for female genitals)
“Her son thought Hilary was a bitch?” Who writes this stuff, Chris Matthews?
:rofl2:
Last month there was “substantial evidence” that gas prices would fall, but a series of “incidents” at a dozen refineries worldwide led the price to reverse course, Lundberg said.
In some cases, refineries began scheduled maintenance, but in other cases they experienced accidents that led some to shut down entirely and others to limit their capacity, she said.
Also, demand for gasoline grows at this time of year as Americans drive more in the warmer weather, she said.
those three paragraphs from the “record fuel prices” article say it all
I figure they’ll get it bumped up to $4 and then ease back a bit, so when we pay $3.75, we’ll think it’s a deal.
Lets suppose that there are around 160 million of us in the work force and the we make an average of lets say 40k a year and pay the feds some 26% pf our income in FICA and income taxes ( thats probably on the high side… but .) thats 10,400 a year so the “work force” pays about 1.7 trillion of our 2.6 trillion federal budget. Now when we old farts begin to retire the budget will increase by about 500 billion every three years for perhaps 15 years to pay our social security then decline at about the same rate for another 15 years. Medicare , which is essentially broke already will also have its costs increase dramatically. Assuming the work force stays at about the same size you have a BIG problem 😮 😮
What the *?
Most of the assumptions that were made by our elitist politicians was that wages would continue to rise so that they could finance your retirement on the increase in taxes caused by the increase in the size of the workforce and the increase in worker income… With globalization the opposite is true in that there will be FEWER jobs created and that the average wages will DROP
The rise of China as the predominant manufacturing power will cause the wealth to either physically move or to shift from the SBR ro China leaving the trillion or so of the federal budget that they pay these days mostly unfunded.
Rethigs are 👿
And where compensation is exploding, taxes were cut indefinitely. Not do the tax cuts have to be rescinded, some have to be raised asap. And we have to stop blowing all of the dough on the military and privatization ripoffs.
So if you have parents already on social security or are in lets say of 10 years of retiring yourself contemplate what you would do it the federal government has to default and quits paying them or can not pay you. :reaper: :reaper:
Hey, I figure if I ever do work again it will be for the long haul anyway. I doubt if I will be able to retire then and I don’t know if I’ll want to.I just hope I am doing something that is somewhat fulfilling and not supersizing or pushing the fries.
It would seem that a lot of other countries have had this problem and found the solution was to nationalize basic services. Could our politicians ever vote to become a socialist republic and what would happen to the SBR if it had to dramatically cut military spending ?? Would “they” come here ??

Druid, that would be Tauri for plural.
Jim, *holes where I went to school were more in the 75%tile. I was lucky to find a decent 10%. When I go back (VA) it is a little better and some minds have changed, mainly because the rest of the world has been seeping in. I went to one high school reunion where some came up and apologized or felt like they should tell me that they had seen the Dead.
When I was a senior we managed to get enough good people to lie on the side of a hill in a human peace sign that only got into the yearbook because we bought our way in and the editor was a Taurus. We did not realize it was an art event at the time.

The Lethal Media Silence on Kent State’s Smoking Guns
by Bob Fitrakis & Harvey Wasserman
The 1970 killings by National Guardsmen of four students during a peaceful anti-war demonstration at Kent State University have now been shown to be cold-blooded, premeditated official murder. But the definitive proof of this monumental historic reality is not, apparently, worthy of significant analysis or comment in today’s mainstream media.
OK, Womens of the NW, I made my Tacoma friend get a reservation and she will be going to the early show on the 19th. She will be alone so I hope you run into her.
