And Joe the Pastor is born. Next he'll be giving tips on the economy and paling around with Palin.

out of Manhattan (or so the self-deluded dolt believes). Look for some other crazed 'Bagger to pick up the stooopid where Jones left off.

State dept issued world wide advisories to Americans abroad, with specific warnings in a handful of predominantly Muslim countries.

I'd like to see the "Pastor" charged with International Terrorism.

I'm stocking up on Budweiser and Beer Nuts to watch the fireworks.

And speaking of beer, apparently it'll be sold at the 9/11 beck-palinpalooza in Anchorage this weekend:

But wasn't this particular Bush rehash supposed to come before the newest version of "Mission Accomplished"?

that in America people have every right to burn a book if they so choose to. Does that extend to the American flag?

Ape-Man's picture

I'd like to know why not.

I know the reThuglicans don't think so, do they? They are master Hypocrites of coarse.

No kidding. They locked down an elementary school, shut down a neighborhood, brought out the robot, and blew up a suffed pony.

Apparently it didn't show sufficient interest in the carrot, so they gave it a couple sticks.

I am in nearby Campbell and will try to give blood (am 0 negative) on Friday. Hope you are far away from this horrible devastation.

media coverage? He says he isn't going to burn and now he says he was lied to. Fuck him.

I was just thinking that you could make an analogy between the tea-baggers and recent geek films like Kick-Ass. The group and the marketers both try to sell the product in as many stupid and/or flashy ways as possible, but in the latter case, at least, the public opted for smarter choices they could relate to better. Or maybe that's just me.

Anyway...
More bs from BP. We're #4 behind the Swiss on competitiveness. We're also battling your centrist legacy, Bubba. You're just the gift which keeps on giving, Billy Boy. Hey, we think the low-ball settlement works...Republicans have no room for independent thought. Assault and sex crime accusations against border patrol agents. Witness says victim of LAPD shooting was unarmed. In Soviet Russia, we love the spies! Judge says DADT is unconstitutional. At least Iran did something useful for one female prisoner...Thanks for your service to our country, sir. We'll tolerate you hiking insurance rates, as long as we don't get the blame. On a related note...What tipped you off? Um, didn't you get the message that slavery is illegal? Say it ain't so, Scotty!
