So that’s impossible to you and a man earning $160,000 a year needs ~just a weee bit more~ to make ends meet and scamming a department store is the PERFECT SOLUTION! (Yeah, that’d be the first thing I’d think of .. NOT!)

Just wait until we see what Claude’s financial situation actually is. How much money does he have in savings and investments? Was his mortgage faithfully paid every month , (maybe paid off already?)? ETC

You are so BLINDED by your hate for G W Bush that you do not realize how silly you are!

Strawman. I never said that.

“le posts this thread is moarginally lo”

That is what people who don’t have facts to back up their assertions say.

“ng.”

Reading comprehension. You should try it.

“My fave Ace to date: stuff you say proves my point, altho”

You just proved my point.

“ugh my point is evershifting.

also, I prove my point by merely allowing you to say stuff, w”

Will no honorable man battle me on my terms?

“hich I then point out.”

Strawman.

“My”

Strawman.

“p”

Strawman.

“oi”

Triple secret probation strawman.

“nt only exists in opposition to what you say, although what you say demonstrates my point is valid.

“I have no point.”

Thank you for proving my point. Strawman, can you read?, barrel of laughs, strawman, I never said that, strawman, strawman.

The first one, actually – because, see, in order to get the kind of access Jimmy Jeff Guckert got, you’re supposed to undergo a background check . . . which, if done by anyone more competent than Barney Fife, would reveal a side career in gay prostitution.

Now, this kind of thing is usually regarded as a security risk. So either: the WH did not do a background check, or they did and they ignored it (I suppose there’s a third possibility, that they did one and did it so poorly that they failed to find damaging information that a blogger uncovered in a matter of hours).

That’s the problem. It has nothing to do with people who like gay sex.. But you knew that.

My fave Ace to date: stuff you say proves my point, although my point is evershifting.

also, I prove my point by merely allowing you to say stuff, which I then point out.

My point only exists in opposition to what you say, although what you say demonstrates my point is valid.

I have no point.

Also Ace, food for thought: after 30 times, the whole “you don’t know how to read” defense gets a little stale. You might want to mix it up.

Here’s Santorum’s quote about polygamy:

“And if the Supreme Court says that you have the right to consensual sex within your home, then you have the right to bigamy, you have the right to polygamy, you have the right to incest, you have the right to adultery.”

See, here’s the thing. Polygamy is about marriage rights, not consensual sex rights. Which is why I think these polygamy activists who want to hitch on to Lawrence — which was about decriminalizing consensual sex and said nothing about marriage — are likely to fail.

But also, Santorum was spouting absolute nonsense when he made his “prediction” (which wasn’t much of a prediction really, just an invalid syllogism.)

Basically, I won’t see any need to eat crow until the man-on-dog-sex advocates take a case to the Supreme Court on the strength of Lawrence.

He said they were getting warrants for wiretaps

Um, what would you call the obtaining of over 5,000 FISA warrants since 2001?

Let me direct your attention right over here to an April 20, 2004 press conference starring our very own President Bush. A choice portion of the transcript:

Secondly, there are such things as roving wiretaps. Now, by the way, any time you hear the United States government talking about wiretap, it requires — a wiretap requires a court order. Nothing has changed, by the way. When we’re talking about chasing down terrorists, we’re talking about getting a court order before we do so. It’s important for our fellow citizens to understand, when you think Patriot Act, constitutional guarantees are in place when it comes to doing what is necessary to protect our homeland, because we value the Constitution.

“…we’re talking about getting a court order before we do so.” Except when we decided a couple of years ago to issue an executive order not to bother with those court orders. You know, to circumvent those “constitutional guarantees” that the citizens should understand are what we so value about our Constitution. Yeah, those.

Veracity? No, you said we “don’t want it to be true”. Who the hell cares? If it is true, it makes it even MORE hilarious.

Let that be a lesson to all of you with an Evil Twin, boys and girls! Keep an eye on them, because they’re EVIL, after all. Never know what an EVIL TWIN can do to you!

This will fuel Jay Leno’s and David Letterman’s monologue for weeks. This is just too good.

Maybe stop sucking on those sour grapes, Ace. That frown might turn upside down. Oh wait.. he’s an AI and they have no humor. You heard it here first.

Yes, Ace. Yes, that’s exactly what I mean.

Help me think, and re-state your position for the class. Treat me like I’m five years old. Well, treat me like I’m five years old some more.

Wait a minute, I’m the straw man?

Okay, I’m calling parody — nice try, Ace, but not wingnut would be that brainless. Who are you really? Is that Brad or Gavin trying to push up the comments?
