you're not letting her on cc.com yet are you 'bone!?!

the constitution defines treason as making war on your country - doesn't seem too much of a stretch to define what homeboy was doing as such - the lack of a trial can't help but be troubling, bu the world is a messy place...

Classically hilarious! like the challenger disaster, i have a feeling there's far more gold in that thar mine - will see what bill maher can manage tomorrow night man, the economy has been looking rough for months, but now there's light at the end of the tunnel. only one jobs died this week.

i'm sure they coulda sent it by passenger pigeon if you hadn't immediately spewed molten-crazy on them perhaps a nelson telegraphic hoist would have been in order?

but obamacare fixed all this, right?

ummm...because it's...umm...like a democracy n' stuff n' the general idear of such a system is you can do what you like so long as you ain't harming anybody else? sure, you can make an argument that fat albert is hurting you somehow by simply walking down the street, looking all chunky, it's just a lame one though. more fat man, less fat women i say! can we just ban them from eating?

i hate snuff porn before noon!

And this another issue. I don't think any healthcare system will ever work here, unless you start regulating food industry with a heavy hand: that includes use of hormones, gm foods and school lunches. in 2004 Group Health study showed that an average teen in the US consumed 1200 calories in the form of soft drink a day. The most served food in a cafeteria is a pizza and french fries. No wonder kids of age 9 or 10 have cholesterol above 250. And the answer of AMA is to start prescribing Lipitor. good luck getting voter enthusiasm for giving The Man the power to tell you what you can eat and drink (having already banned what he can smoke though, i'll admit it's not outside the realm of His possibilities)

I was referring to Ivan. the problem with most philosophers is they're dead steve jobs was a man like anybody else, his death reaffirms that basic fact - he doesn't need to be hero-worshipped - he made more contributions to the modern world than most for certain, and his life will be remembered long after my own has gone, and i can be enlightened enough not to be jealous about that wonder how long the battery in his iTomb will last?

good link - wow, some amazing stories in there - i really didn't know much other than his name, guess us 'mericans like to keep things simple, so mlk and, at most, malcolm x were about all that could fit! reckon his story got downplayed abit b/c he was a billion years old and folks just kinda expect them to keel over eventually

meh. sure, he'll be a thomas edison type figure for the future to revere, but i'm not certain that his contributions haven't had some drawbacks - the whole iLife, propped up by endless iGadgets, leads to a lotta self-obsessed motherfuckers i'll forgive him for the starry night ap on those goddamn phones though - that thing is fuckign cool! A living example of an inhabitant of Plato's Cave. i do spend a lot of time thinking about chairs

meh. sure, he'll be a thomas edison type figure for the future to revere, but i'm not certain that his contributions haven't had some drawbacks - the whole iLife, propped up by endless iGadgets, leads to a lotta self-obsessed motherfuckers i'll forgive him for the starry night ap on those goddamn phones though - that thing is fuckign cool!

for every one of us living in this world means waiting for our end let he who can achieve glory before death when a warrior is gone that will be his best and only bulwark

at least he wins a prize!

fork yeah! wanna go back this summer?

i've never been a fan of one set of rules for citizens and one for the rest of the world, at least when it comes to basic questions like "do you have the right not to be blown the fuck up by yours truly for whatever reason i want" seems to me all humans should have the right to simple things like that and habeas corpus...

the attempts by the clinton administration to kill osama after the kenyan embassy and uss cole incidents would be considered extra-judicial killings, right? and wouldn't the past decade have been better if they had been successful? it doesn't seem like the whole concept can be universally taboo - the rabbithole of the "ticking timebomb" in 2003 never seemed to get closed for good, despite the shit outcome. i guess some folks are still claiming victory in vietnam too... in the end, good governments just about killing the right people, right?

what is a "direct threat?" this recent fella doesn't sound like anyone much crying over, who was eager to use violence to kill our citizens - what on earth can you do but kill such folks when they're in godforsaken lands in the pursuit of those goals? the lack of judicial review is definetly disturbing, but, if the choice must be between whole-sale occupation of unstable foreign countries and the selected assassination of the various dickheads who are showing true promise and potential in killing americans, this one seems the wiser. what in your mind would be required in order for it to have been justifiable? where's the line that homeboy didn't cross?

whole country went to hell after harry pi disappeared... THANK FOR TO ALLOW PERSON TO POST!!!

yeah, roofies just don't dissolve well enough in anything else!

Serious bidness, this. billy the kid would no doubt have failed miserably in this modern culture of ours

fwiw, while cliff was definitely dorky, he was ultimately a good guy and a likable character - kk might in fact be going way too far then on the comparision

dude, you're goign too far when you start dissing on "cheers!" what could possibly be MORE american than a show about a buncha pissed off workers spending every evening of their life getting tanked in the same bar?

i thought footie was australian rules football?

the best a martini can get: step 1 - make ANY martini per usual step 2 - add a handful of road-apples (horse turds) and stir step 3 - pour out the martini step 4 - swallow the turds
