Arrgh! Teh STUPID! It BURNS!!!!!!

The nonworking poor — people on welfare — are very different, even though they have the same income. The nonworking poor don’t give much at all.

So people who are essentially RECEIVING charity should give part of it to others? Wouldn’t it be smarter for them to devote ALL of their income to improving themselves with the ultimate goal of getting off welfare? That way when they donate to charity, they’ll be donating money they actually earned instead of donating what somebody else gave them.

I heard the phrase “peas with honey” in a short poem:

I eat my peas with honey
I’ve done it all my life
They do taste kind of funny
But it keeps them on the knife.

I’m paraphrasing. I think there might have been some dialect in the poem, but I’m not sure exactly what. It sounds like Edward Lear, but I can’t recall a precise attribution — I ran across it in a book of funny poems. They weren’t all Lear.

It’s from a poem by Edward Lear, about a guy who eats his peas with honey on a spoon.

I think I may not have been paying attention. What’s the origin of the “we eat our peas with honey” thing? I find it funny, but I can’t make out why.

Michael Medved: Wow. Just wow. This guy seems to be saying that because marriage has been such a disaster among straights in recent years, considering the divorce rates, gays shouldn’t be allowed to get married. He actually cites Britney Spears and K-Fed and their meltdown as some sort of support for this.

I’m sorry, I just have to quote this in full:

Yet these same gay rights activists continue to claim that the same institution that has failed to uplift or preserve the relationships of so many heterosexuals, will work magically to enrich the lives of gays. The assumption behind these contradictory arguments seems to be that homosexual relationships are somehow inherently more worthy, conscious, generous, mature and capable of refinement by marital institutions than their unthinking, straight equivalents.

How fucking stupid can a guy be and still get paid for his words? If he wants to find a difference between straight and gay relationships, one would be that idiots like Britney and Kennyboy can get married at will after just bumping into each other. But I and the man I’ve joined my life to for nearly 31 years cannot.

He’s saying that since straights can’t keep their marriages together, gays shouldn’t even be allowed to try. Wow. Just wow.

Here's how the party announcement began:

OMG RACIST officially invites you to this delightful gaiety in honor of the last day of October, held in the exquisite metropolis paradise that we affectionately refer to as the mother-f*cking ghetto, aka the hood or as I like to call it, the hiv pit.

For some reason, Dr. Mike admitting he's from one of those racist fraternities you only ever hear stories about doesn't shock me at all.

I can’t wait until another Democrat gets into the White House. Then when Malkin and her ilk trash the Democratic president, we can call them anti-American. That’s gonna be awesome.

Oh, and Mike S. Adams is getting soft. He didn’t even make up any stories about how he intimidated some imaginary liberals this week. Pussy.

Ok Travis, you actually suckered me into reading Kathleen Parker, and comments:

..and another thing
Flagwaver said:
“The enslaved had their cultures diluted, their religions banned, their women raped, and their families broken up…all for a monetary profit. Is that a good thing?”

It must be a good thing; it’s happening to MY people now. My culture has been diluted, Christianity is being banned, white women are being raped, the divorce rate and “single-motherhood” is far higher than it was 50 years ago. All for monetary profit.

That’s some high test winge nuttery.
