Fairweather

Jefferson's larger hypocrisy goes a long, long way toward esssplaining the modern american liberal psychosis.

Beware, for he is a man of many disguises and passwords. He is sometimes revealed as Ivan's doppelganger by his distaste for all lower case and his insatiable love of self.

I think you're confusing a secular country (which we are largely not) with secular government (which we have). Easy enough?

Um, because even the Iranian people know their religious leaders are fucking insane? Still, gotta love your self-loathing lib thang. And that endless harping obsession with "fairness." Either way, your malady is likely more a sign of inculcation than an indication of a well considered opinion. Well, anyhow, there is the whole secular government (we) versus islamic government (them) perspective. Micro level, this is to say, I don't feel the least bit the hypocrite knowing that the alcoholic-insane-evangelical-antisemite-wifebeater guy who lives down the street doesn't have guns and I do. Makes for better sleep. Even if it's not technically fair.

I doubt his chain-smoked lungs could supply his legs with the O2 needed to tackle the 520 bridge. Besides, who needs a bicycle when you can fly a taxpayer-funded 747 to your personal ATM.

I was think'n it was you.

AKA, the day Obama gave the mullahs a green light to finish their bomb.

Muir with la hija tomorrow. It's gonna be cold if she wants breaks.

I'm gonna spread around some fucking happiness here if it kills me. Here's a cool random happy story.

haha, how in the world do you manage that unrealistic hippy dream? Do you have to stick your fingers in your ears and try not to look around too much? Washington and Colorado. The only two places where this is legally possible.

I was not. I was deliberately blaspheming your messiah and mocking both you and all his followers.

Ah yes, thank you for the chance to both revisit this late-summer gem and for the opportunity for a 'teachable moment'. You see Fairweather, the humor in the post derives from what we call a 'play on words'. The word 'stroke' carries a double meaning here, taking on its usages both to hit a baseball and to denote a cerebrovascular accident. The wordplay here takes on a playfully sardonic dimension when considered in the context of the Mariners' continued mismanagement and epic suckitude under Wedge, who as it seems, was more interested in sucking on chili dogs and Kools during his tenure than bringing this ragged shitstain of a franchise close to something remotely resembling .500. I hope that helps. Leftylib compassion for fellow human being. Now I get it! It will be also much funny when the cigarette-smoking shistain suckituder in the White House who is presently resemble .360 strokes out in similar way. I will make satire and irony then because stroke is also golf 240 times to be lazy and stroke is also ego which is him. This will be triple irony wordplay and you will laugh too surely.

And how's that different from what you're working with now? You're probably right. For example, I failed to recognize any humor at all in your post earlier this summer:

...or did your grandpa speak German?

There's this concept in linguistics called universal pragmatics. This is to say, I could learn to speak fluent Russian, but lacking a deeper connection with its cultural context it's not likely that I would ever recognize irony or satire when I heard it.

My, how they do hate Oregonians.

Trespass with the understanding that you will be arrested and/or cited. Challenge the fine and take an assigned court date. Hire a good attorney with experience in public land use issues--one who knows how to/has no qualms about using the media. Who knows, maybe this thing could get dialed all the way back to 1864.

I'd almost feel guilty swinging at it.

Lindsey Vonn crashed yesterday. This is very unusual.

Are you sure that wasn't recorded in Olympia?
