Looks like you and I had the same idea this morning. Thank God we covered different stuff. LOL.
Mika has turned into a snarling arrogant conservative bitch. I really did used to like her. I’d feel bad when Deuch-borough bullied her. Now she spews republican filth, talks down to liberals as if we are a small minority (hey whore, … i say whore because she is now an official proud whore for Starbucks…no offense UI… look who won the election)
The Real America….. next time i hear that im going to go force the person to watch the news coverage of 9/11 again and again and again and so they remember what part of America was attacked. So they remember where America started… in Northern cities NOT down home redneck inbred KKK outposts like Mika Palin would have us believe.
damn.. 8:30 and im already pissed off
Wow. Go ahead A. Price. I called Tim Russert and Chris Matthews media whores too.
Way to go a. price!
McNamara was non-stop coverage on NPR yesterday. He was a brilliant, fascinating, and frustrating man. If you’ve never seen The Fog of War, you are missing not just a truly great documentary, but a really compelling look at this very controversial man.
Was legalizing fireworks in Pennsylvania a good thing?
Should Delaware legalize fireworks?
Generally speaking, I think it’s usually a good thing to get rid of laws that are widely breached. On the other hand … oops. The more fireworks are set off by amateurs, the more people won’t be able to say “on the other hand.”
Zbigniew must feel embarrassed right about now.
Thanks for your comment, Geezer. I am really curious about this.
And here is more teabagging jackassery — from the Duval County Teabagging sponsored by the Republican Party.

I love the guy in the Depends – or are those his version of SNL’s “Oops, I crapped my pants?”
Gee, fireworks are just sooooo dangerous.
What’s going to happen to the guy that carried Jackson’s umbrella (except when it rained)?
