I have not always controlled my emissions in a responsible manner.

I'm confused. You say "I'm with Winter on this one" - but Winter 's sarcasm indicates he is stridently against corporal punishment in schools. Or maybe I'm just missing your own too-subtle sarcasm?

I don't believe Bush ever ran as a populist champion of the poor.

Threatening the life of the president isn't protected speech. Saying that djumja has a dysfunctional #21 chromosome is.

Yes, but think of how many homeless people he could house on all that freshly logged open space! Funny how Democrat charity always seems to begin with other people's money.

So PM the moderators and have me banned, stool. There is a reason lefties like you can't be trusted with free speech, and you have demonstrated it once again.

Sorry, but I'll take the corporate whores over the nanny/Robin Hood thieves any day.

What is "absinence"? Any comments on the Edwards compound...or Gore's electric bill?

Speaking of moralizing hypocrites, here is a photo of the John Edwards compound. You may know him as a Democrat champion of the poor and the environment: Apparently his wife doesn't get along with the "neighbors". Nice folks.

Threatening people with lawsuits? It's called rhetoric, sarcasm, tongue-in-cheek. I think you have a major stick up your ass, cheesebreath.

Cotopaxi?

from Craig's web site: What is the dress code in Senator Craig's office? Male staff members should wear a tie at all times, and a suit jacket or sport coat should be kept handy. Hmmmm .... Maybe you should offer to defend the good senator....pro-bono.

...or a fine cigar, even!

That's the connection only a good attorney can make. Rather that a full trial, perhaps you should just settle $$$.

Geeeeeez. It's not like he spooged all over some poor interns dress all-the-while championing the rights of working women or somethin' like that! I thought sex was a private matter.

lawyers are barely one notch above child molesters unless they are also politicians, then they fall two notches down. so if craig is a politician and child molester how does that rank with your standard ambulance chaser? i'm getting confused here. Craig is a child molester? I haven't heard that. Maybe someone should hire a lawyer to sue you for making such outrageous accusations on an internet bulletin board. Feed the lawyers!

Because, on the whole, the American public still does. So the Dem-o-crat party has to pretend, or at least lie low in order to win elections.

Fucking Lawyer. You're part of the problem.

or Sister Mercy's wooden ruler across his knuckles. Or Ms. Latornuea's soft, yet firm hand across his bare...

...or Mrs. Knipher's tennis shoe against the side of his whithered melon.

Obviously you're too young to remember how it used to be, Junior.

This has nothing to do with schools. I doubt this girl has spent much time in a classroom. Teachers have little control over the education of kids who don't show up for school. I used to work as a high school teacher and the dumbest kids were those who never showed up. They were the ones whose parents didn't care when you called them to find out why their kid didn't show up. Or they were the ones who were disruptive and caused other kids to have a less than a satisfactory experience. Families who don't support their children in their educational endeavors are likely to have kids that have the level of critical thinking that Miss South Carolina appears to have. You'd be suprised at how big a deal attendance is at the average school. Should teachers be penalized for the grades of students who only show up every once in awhile and don't even pretend to try when they do show up? Jason ABSOFUCKINLUTELY! If your dentist advises your children to brush and floss routinely, but you don't follow through by monitoring their brushing routines, do you think your dentist deserves a demotion and decreased salary when your kids develop tooth decay? Oprah was recently criticized for opening schools for girls in S. Africa. Critics asked, "Don't American children need your help?" She replied that U.S. children care far more about i-pods and Nike shoes than education, after which she received even more criticism. I think she's correct. And we can mostly blame an F'ed up culture that doesn't value raising responsible children. I hear you, Pope. And we've had this conversation before. But how much you want to bet that beauty queen is sitting on a 3.5 or higher? And if she is, then that does mean someone - in addition to her parents - isn't upholding the social contract. NEA and their state satellites are partly to blame, IMO, because their teacher compensation demands allow poor teachers - inclined toward allowing social promotion like this to happen - to earn as much as good teachers who deserve much, much more. I also agree that allowing teachers a free hand in discipline, physical if necessary, would go a long way toward the overall good.

Insulting the intellect of soldiers. That's classic, asshole.

You're the sick fuck watching underage girls parade around like livestock. I was just speculating on the reason so many kids in our country - like the young miss - can't resolve a simple question armed with what should be a basic knowledge set. With taxpayers shelling out between $7,000 - $11,000 per child, per year (depending on the state), is it too much to ask for results?
