Newsflash: Water and air really ARE finite goods. Five to ten years from now you will be drinking the water polluted with melamine and pharmaceutical wastes from China. You will be breathing coal dust and NO2 emissions from China and auto emissions from most of Asia. You will be scarfing down tuna and salmon with high levels of heavy metals in their fat courtesy of smelting and manufacturing in various parts of Asia–because they dump the crap into the oceans. And if you live in California, you will be drinking sewage from Mexico–which has grossly inadequate water treatment facilities. Just think–if we let Mexicans come to the US to use the rest rooms at the local McDonald’s we’ll all have cleaner water!

“Democracy is two wolves and a sheep deciding what to have for dinner.”

Where does this shit come from? Some central wingnut talking-points depository in Nebraska or whatever? I swear this is the THIRD TIME TODAY I’ve seen this retarded fucking sentence.

Either they gotta get more writers or I’ve got to get a life, and I seriously do not want to have to do that.

Console yourself with the thought that the original “Republic” was named for the twin sons of an overglorified pimp sucking on a wolf’s tits.

Their unanimous description of it as torture is central to Hawkins’ point.

That very point is the reason Hawkins never goes out in public without a hat.

Someday I hope to learn the language of your homeland- your songs of the desert, your laments for extinct flightless birds.

I liked it, too. True to the original, yet snarkily differential. But it’s missing the critical line, “Sadly, No! droolz. Ace of Spades rules.”

Does the fact that many people are willing to have sex voluntarily* mean there’s no such thing as rape?

*Well, not with him, but you know what I mean.

DA- you know you are loved. Walk down from the 5th floor and just stumble off the front stoop dramatically, that would be acceptable symbolism. Like Easy E hitting post instead of doing or accomplishing anything at Red State.

It was all right there, all along.

Ah, is that what people are calling them these days? No wonder the GOP didn’t make the connection about “teabags”!
