Our county used to have a business conference every year. Now in 2010 there will be one last go around at it. The speaker list is a nauseating lineup. They just added Rudy Guiliani to the list, but they already had Cal Thomas, Karl Rove, Mitt Romney, Sarah Palin, Laura Bush, Lynne Cheney, and the most evil man alive...yes, of course, I'm talking about Dick C.
I dread knowing how the Bakersfield teabaggers are doing to behave...

That's quite the line-up. Yikes!
Be careful, Annaleigh!
until they've all left! :S

the conference is Donna Brazile. Not surprising tho, since this is Kern County.

glenn greenwald makes the point HERE!
Matt Taibbi chimes in HERE!
Some stuff you can't make up!
first GLBT person to be elected to a major city, major in this case meant in the Top 5 largest U.S. cities. Houston is only smaller than New York, Los Angeles, and Chicago. It's kind of ironic that the first openly GLBT person to be elected to mayor in a major city was in Houston, and not NY or LA.
Although Juan Perez, the gay cousin of LA's mayor Antonio Villaraigosa has been nominated for Speaker of the California Assembly, and if he makes it, will be the first openly GLBT speaker.

they upstaged the liberal strongholds and exposed the unpublicized bigotry.

you can smoke pot, if they get their way, but not as a married gay couple. Mass., Vt, Maine. NJ? go figure. NJ even elected the bush-crony Prosecutor as Gov. talk about bass-ackwards.

gay & lesbian wedding receptions if they so choose. *sigh*
"The greatest tyranny is censoring information in order to be better able to control people." - Cristina Saralegui
means only top five. That answered my question as to what you consider a major city.
I'll still stick to my answer that there has been a gay mayor elected to a major city before. Ie one in the top 30 population, a state capitol, one with two of the most respected universities etc.
Our opinions differ, thats fine.
I can now accept a research appointment overseas, since my better half just got offered a nice offer in the same place.
The sad part is, I would have never thought I was going to be happy to leave this place one year ago. Alas, life is too sort to really take it seriously, so I will get to give this old world of us one last great whirlwind tour that my wife and I were planning to do for a while, before we start thinking about kids.
In any case, that is neither here nor there. Just wanting to say good bye... there have been some great posters, and some magnificent pr*cks too.
Cheers, and take care of this place. It was nice while it lasted, it would be great to have it still standing when we get back.
Bye Tyler. Take your towel...and Don't Panic. Congrats.
keep clicking in.

wife get to see even more of the world. I'm very happy for ya.
And we will try, although admittedly some days just don't look too good.

Send us a post once in a while!
Where are you going?
Btw: do not forget your towel. ;)
And like Taarak said; don't panic :p
Edit: are you going to play Brockian ultra-cricket?

stay in touch.
All the best. Hope you're going somewhere exciting. Never take the world too seriously, is right.
far left loon >.<
bonne chance
statusquObama, change you can only pretend in
good luck, T.
I'll wish you the same as I wish everyone.
Best of luck to you and yours. As long as it doesn't infringe on me and mine. :)
But honestly while I may not agree with you politically I hope you have a happy and enjoyable life.
You're going somewhere where they don't have the interwebs or something?
Why does Ann Coulter insist on wearing black eyeshadow all the time? It makes her look even more ghoulish when she could get away with lighter shadows because of her coloring. Even I don't wear black shadow with my brown eyes, because it would make me look a bit hard. This only makes her even more severe looking.
Ok, I'm done. Just sayin'. :P

Maybe it is caked blood?
she might as well be caking blood on her face, it looks terrible.
"The greatest tyranny is censoring information in order to be better able to control people." - Cristina Saralegui
Because she is a twat? tbh i do not know. I'm not a women and i have no fucking idea.
*grin*
;)

"Twat" is not only an ugly term for someone. It also implies a useful function, which is not a claim about Coulter I am comfortable making.
he/she even has one. Whoops!
a useful function? Could you explain that a bit?
It means to me a female body part, or a person that resembles in action a female body part. While both can provide a receptacle for a function it does not imply it is a useful function.
at the exact same time! ;)

Bernard. Except where Ann wears ghoulish black, Michelle wears tacky light blue.
Oh, I just had a really mean thought...
"The greatest tyranny is censoring information in order to be better able to control people." - Cristina Saralegui
own line of cosmetics. The eyeshadow could come in colors like Ghoulish Black, Tacky Light Blue, Puke Teabagger Green. Lipstick could include shades like Wingnut Whine (a wine/burgundy type color), or Blood for Oil Red, and there would be no blush, because of all the perversion in the GOP, I doubt wingnut women could even blush anyway!

how about "Drill Baby, Drill" liquid liner?
what about Rachael Maddows eyebrows? Why does she insist on keeping them trimmed to the very edge of manliness? You can't deny she waxes them but why does she do it so very little?
Is it perhaps what that particular person likes and feels attractive with?
If Coulter or Maddow decided to go goth would it really matter? Does their outward appearance translate to what is inside? I feel that it is very petty to judge by external appearances. You shouldn't judge a book by its cover should you?
I generally could not care less about someones appearance. However, I do hold permanently etched scowls against people as pleasant people simply do not do that.
permanently etched smirks? Maddow seems to have one of those.
good luck tyler. you'll be missed i enjoyed your wit and intellect.
Good luck TD , I am envious , I wish that I could just take my wife and split this country for good , it's a recurrent fantasy of mine these days .
Insanity , it is what it is , there is no understanding it .
gonna be around to fight the battle if we all leave?
The retards and cripple, it's going to be a hell of a show!
Edit: and we'll walk around with our flag and hold it high even when our body full of bullets. Hold the flag up no matter what. The flag is more important then your silly stupid flesh bag! You are your country, you are your flag, you are worthless. expendable.
Sorry for sounding that cynical, but fuck the flag.
Bite my shiny metal ass.
http://www.startalkradio.net/
cynical, but I would wipe my ass with the flag if it would guarantee that we would get our freedom back.
I wouldn't consider it cynical, I would do the same but I don't think we quite mean the same thing.
But I also agree Alerta, that is what she said not what she meant. My flag is more important to me than my life. My flag is the symbol of my Country and my Country is my ideal and my ideal is worth more to me than my life.
But I don't think our Flag means what it did, and I understand the difference, which is why I can respect and disrespect it at the same time depending on how it is used.
Your flag is more important to you than your life?? Are you kidding me?
I'm not. Any individual piece of cloth is worth less than any human life. But what the Flag stands for is worth mine if needed. When I say my flag is worth more than my life, I mean the ideal of what it stands for.
Is there any ideal you would give your life for? Come on there has to be a few.
The ideal. The ideal is very nice, but how do you feel about the reality?
[edit: I don't fly or sport the Canadian flag either.]
far left loon >.<
I don't think much of the flag either.
You have all these "patriots" buying flags made in China, sold in their subsidiary walmart, kept out on car radio antennas in the cold, the dark and the rain until they're tattered and torn and still not replaced.
It's a lazy man's way of "supporting the troops" without any actual sacrifice.
All the flag is in the meaning of the country, but when we figuretively disembowel ourselves it means nothing.

is made in the USA of USA produced materials and is illuminated after dark and is designed to be flown in inclement weather. When it becomes tattered it will be disposed of properly.
I lived and worked in England for six years, and I wish now I had stayed.

Our idiocratic decade of cinema. The White House economists who claimed unemployment wouldn't crack 10% now suggest jobs are on the rise next spring. Sanford's not really popular with the missus right now. Anyone want more lax gun laws, particularly on Amtrak? The telecom suit gets appealed. Barry thinks very highly of his first year in charge. Monsanto hates the free market. The Irish Catholic Church gets rocked by its own abuse scandal. The Medicare Joe hates so much isn't even helpful. People at Berkeley don't take too kindly to tuition hikes. Guns do kill people, particularly cops. Obama wags his finger at Wall Street. Thanks for over-population in Africa, Dumbya. Oh, and regarding the drug thing, I mentioned in a thread a while back that Ruppert told me the whole Afghanistan thing is precisely about cashing in on the drug trade. And I think Bradley of Sublime said it best: "Don't tell me about your fake drug war! Cut education programs more!"
more lax gun laws? How about law abiding citizens. Guns owned going up Crime going down And why not on Amtrack it won't be any different than what is allowed on Aircraft.
I don't
I want more gun laws that'll be enforced.
Diabolus est Deus Inversus
gun laws do you want enforced if I may ask?
In my opinion we have more than we need or should have. Although a few should be enforced more than they are. ie Using a deadly weapon in the commission of a crime I have no problem with. Or furnishing someone with one knowing that they are going to commit a crime with it.
I have no problem with laws that restrict the use of firearms against another. I do have problems with ones that restrict the ownership and carrying of such.
Joe Lieberman is out to kill health care.
CN voters need to get him out of office.
Hopefully, someone will find some dirt on him like Baucus.
even the ugliest prostitute in the world wouldn't go near him.

Speaking of Suck-Ass, I hate sidin' with Faux News, but you know what they say about the enemy of my enemy.... I know I've said it before, but college is a legalized Ponzi scheme. Don't forget about 350. A famous horror writer decides to give stranded troops a happy ending.
