LOL...it was after the game while we waited for traffic to clear out.

I prefer not to go in full view in public, but even I will have limits!

No Kidding.

I just cannot stand all the flying of the flag at half-staff. It creates a perpetual victimhood mentality, which is unsound.

He can kiss my ass.

Not in a million years, not if he succeeds in perverting the American flag to the point where I hate to see it fly.

Never.

I drew this a few years back to illustrate my feelings on the penalties for people who write malware, but...same for identity theft, except instead of being in front of a tech trade show at a convention center, the stocks are on the town common.

Stupidest thing I ever heard. It is as if they are trying to make it “Hate Crime” legislation.

The GOP is embarrassing.

Yes. I see that picture with his smug face titled “My work is nearly done here” and it really hits home.

I never thought so much damage could be done in such a short time.

What was really interesting were the stories of the Green Bay players who couldn’t start their cars to get to the game!

Pfft. Once in a lifetime. Probably fake snow. Or it melted immediately.

There was a shirtless guy at the Pats-Denver game right near me. It was hilarious...people were going crazy celebrating, and all around me, people stopped in mid-cheer and gaped at this guy who ripped off his shirt and stood on a chair.

We all thought he was mad.

A couple of years back at a game out in Buffalo, they had a blizzard during the game.

I was dressed warmly and had no issues. But there were two young guys sitting next to me, one looked maybe 15, the other perhaps a year older. They had taken off their shirts.

Now, the older kid was more muscular and meaty, and he was into it. His young friend, however was fairly scrawny, and he was suffering. His teeth were chattering, and his lips were blue (both had blue lips) but he was doggedly trying to keep up with his older friend.

A cop finally came down and said "Look, guys, put your shirts on. There are people back there who are really concerned about you!"

That game, to me, is the epitome of why I love football.

In baseball, a drop falls out of the sky and they soil their trousers.

Soccer...never mind.

But in football...they play no matter the conditions. I went to a Pats game a few weeks ago against Denver, and while I didn’t think it was that cold inside the stadium, walking 300 yards across an empty parking lot to use a ports-potty was a challenge.

It wasn’t my body that was cold, with the wind screaming across there, it was my face. It hurt. It LITERALLY hurt like hell.

And the weird thing was (and I have been to some really cold games and never noticed it before) was that everything liquid stayed where it landed, in one single frozen mass. Puke. Spilled beer. Piss. Unknown things. I think in warmer weather, things kind of...dissipate. They land, spread out, get walked on, evaporate or whatever.

But in this weather, everything was preserved in its gory glory. The port-a-potties were disgusting beyond words, but I will say...the smell wasn’t nearly as bad.

All in all, I love the nasty winter games! I hope they have a brutal, unseasonably cold Super Bowl in New York (New Jersey).

I went to the Winter Carnival in Quebec City a few times back in the Eighties with a bunch of people, and that was the first time I had ever seen a Vuvuzela...the streets rang with them, everyone had them, but for some reason, it was never like the sound of a stadium full of angry hornets at 170 decibels. It was just drunken, intermittent honking.

It was also the first time I had ever seen Bon Homme...and the Bon Homme canes filled with liquor!

I can’t view this thread as anything more than a vehicle for distraction.

The adulation of this person is disturbing. Someone else made a comment about how upsetting it would be if Obama went to Mandela’s funeral in light of the fact that he didn’t go to Margaret Thatcher’s funeral.

I read that and thought “Where have these people been? It doesn’t upset me at all, I fully expect it.”

To be honest, I would have been upset if he soiled Margaret Thatcher’s funeral by attending it. I feel much the same way about the Gettysburg anniversary and Arlington National Cemetery on Memorial Day.

Okay...that outright made me nearly have things come out my nose!

Vuvuzela Hero...that was hilarious!

Heh, glad you liked it, SVD. It kind of fits, doesn’t it?

ping for later

Just make sure there are no Nazis around!

Probably not stolen, probably dropped it off in a empty lot like they normally do so little kids with hammers and screwdrivers can break it open to smear it on their faces like blue war paint.

Exactly. He should already be on the street. There are more than enough things. Hell, he likely should have never been electable in the first place.

But I don’t see an impeachment coming. I think it is a pipe dream, even if he is found in bed with a dead boy or an underage girl.

And, even those things, with liberals, are resume enhancers.

Well. Will they also find a way to monitor and subtract taxes from people who don’t utilize public transportation boondoggles?

I thought not...

Love that reference...!

"...Republicans see one remedy for Obama: impeachment..."

HAHAHAHA AHAHAHAHAHAHA HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA AHHHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!!!!!

Ah. Ahh...I just couldn't help myself...I...

HAHAHAHA AHAHAHAHAHAHA HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA AHHHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!!!!!

Problem is, when it comes like this, he shouldn’t be surprised.

Homosexuals do not brook any “difference of opinion”, and it won’t be handled with respect or gracefully by the homosexual lobby.

His excellent book Radical Son discusses it in detail...it was a rude awaking for him, one that many liberals never get.

I find it hilarious and frustrating at the same time when people try to deny this obvious truth, and I think the deliberate denial of that has an extremely corrosive effect on society.

Heh, funny comment there. As conservatives, we care about making money but we want to produce quality as well.

Liberals care about making money too, but if someone like Miley Cyrus or Yoko Ono make money by being frauds and preying off the stupidity and ignorance of their fellow liberals, that is even sweeter for them!

Hmmm...why did that make me think of poor Chekov?

OMG! WE ARE STUCK IN AN INTERNET POSTING VORTEX THAT WILL SUCK US INTO A BLACK HOLE! AHHH....AHHHHHHH...I CAN HEAR THE ROAR OF THE BLACK HOLE AS WE APPROACH IT...

...Oh, wait...never mind! I still had the volume up on the You Tube video!

Damn you dfwgator! I was 65 seconds too late!!!!!!!

"...The fact that the car burst into flames is bizarre. That usually only happens in the movies..."

Happens in wartime, too...

"...With all the tech available there should be a way to limit the speeds especially around corners..."

But...but...what about the union jobs? Let's see, life saving automation which might impact human jobs, or...Human jobs.

Hmmm. Difficult decision.

My first thought as well. Reminds me of Eddie Murphy in “48 Hours”...

“You’re too stupid to have a job!”

Seriously. If you own a $10K bicycle, and you haven’t got a way to secure it, you either have too much money and the loss of the bike means nothing, or you are too careless to own something valuable.

It would be nice if there were no criminals, but...given that there are,you have to take responsibility for your own possessions.

"...Hunters on the ground, informed by the bright white blobs of porcine body heat illuminated on their video feeds, can then sneak up on the clever and twitchy critters and dispatch them to hog heaven..."

Hahahahahaha...what could POSSIBLY go wrong?

"...vowing not to tolerate the aggressive move as U.S. Vice President Joe Biden prepared to deliver that message personally to Beijing..."

The Kiss of Death.

I agree completely.

My wife and I have been married going on thirty years, and we have the usual collection of old married couple things, and one of them that stands out is that she is generally a talker in most cases, where I am less so...particularly in the morning.

This would be me in the morning:

This epitomizes my wife in the morning:

We have been married long enough she knows what it takes before I become functional and civil, and is gentle with me, though she sometimes turns on lights that I immediately have to turn off...and often after she has had a cup of coffee, her cheery, conversational morning person kicks into overdrive.

There have been occasional times where she feels the need to apologize and explain she just can't help herself when she has a cup of coffee...

And I remind myself, there may be times in my life someday where the only thing I will want to hear is her voice, and I manage a weak smile and tell her it is just fine...I am interested in what she is saying even though at that hour of the morning it feels like a rusty chain saw is being inserted in each ear.

That is how I know I love her so.

It is so true. You have to appreciate what you have got, while you have got it. Goes for pets whose lives are so much shorter than ours.

And spouses who foibles cannot be any worse than your own...:)

See my post at #25. It is a state owned nude beach, paid for with state dollars on state land. If it was a private location most people would be inclined to say it was between them, the private owner of the beach, and God (as long as it wasn’t in full view of the public)

It appears to be nothing of the sort on all counts.

It is infuriating, and demonstrates, once again, the animal that liberalism is.

There are three aspects to this story that are noteworthy and illustrative.

First thing that stood out and hit me squarely in the nose was “Nude State Beach”. WTF? I have no problem with people running a nude beach on private property. That has been going on for years, and as long as the public isn’t forced to pay for it or be subjected to it, that is their business. But public? Paid for by taxpayers? On public land? It boggles my mind. But hey...I live in Massachusetts, so I have seen stuff like this before.

The second aspect that just defines liberalism, and is expressed in this situation is highlighted by comments at the article such as: “Sex is natural. What is wrong with people having sex? The government has to control everything, including our genitals!” Etc. etc. etc. This is the ESSENCE of liberalism. In their minds, people are animals, and are slaves to their passions. They believe that passions cannot be controlled, and as a result, any kind of behavior is acceptable. They have no choice in the matter. Since they have no choice in the matter, it must not only be condoned, but approved and accommodated. This is typical liberalism. You see it from liberals primarily relating to drug related behavior and sex related behavior. The comments at the site buttress this: “Why not just set up tents for people to have sex in?” I have actually heard liberals say (about two twelve year olds having sex) that they cannot help themselves, it is what comes naturally to people, why not provide them a place to do it safely with readily available condoms? Everything from pre-marital teen sex to providing needles to drug addicts.

The third thing is, and we on FR are all aware of this by default, is the way that this story is being reported. If you read this story, you would get the impression that these are normal male/female couplings occurring on this beach. What is deliberately NOT being reported is that this is not only a primary, but almost exclusively a homosexual sex issue, primarily with men. From reading the comments by people claiming to be locals, they are infuriated because that is what they see, and is not what the story implies by its omission of the homosexual angle.

We see this all the time in media stories ranging from black on white violence, Democrat politician misbehavior, and homosexual crime. This is simply appalling. But it is “normal” life in this country now, the way things are conducted.

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH!

SHOOT HER! SHOOT HER!

THAT reference made me laugh! That's it, I can't take anymore! I'm going to bed!

I swear, here I am all by myself surfing the Internet, and I had to choke back my laughter (somewhat unsuccessfully) to avoid waking my wife up while I watched that video and read the comments!

My buddy and I were in Harvard Square a few years back, and they were having a poetry reading outside near he Au bon Pain. We were waiting for someone, so we listened to a young girl recite her "poetry": (I have to paraphrase, because I don't remember exactly) "...and then he ****** me. He bent me over a table and ****** me again. And then...."

Heh, my buddy turned to me and said "Hey, check out these people!"

They were beatnik wanna-be types, and they were all nodding in approval, one young guy with a black turtleneck and a scruffy goatee was stroking his goatee and nodding in approval with narrowed eyes! We both fell out laughing, it was so ridiculous, it was like a parody...but it wasn't!

When I listened to this video of Yoko Ono that maceman posted at #5, I got the exact same impression from the people who thought it was "art".

Hahahaha...here was another comment at the link provided by maceman at #5:

(sic)"...It sounded like she wad having an orgasm and being electrocuted at the same tine lol..."

This one takes the cake: (edited for Free Republic)

"I rather have a radioactive lizard vomit in my ear while listening to screaming monkeys wrapped in barbed wire getting ****** up the *** with rusty chain saws in a pool of acid than this shrill-harpy retarded screeching banshee..."

Reading responses at You Tube can be detrimental to your health, but if laughter is an elixir, these video comments had it in spades!

Hehehehe...the comments at video were priceless!

" Yoko's performance seem to represent the cries of all victims: of war , divorce, and many other miserable circumstances endured, (including her own loss of her soulmate John)... their pains, their triumphs. (-<) :)"

And this one, only one out of a few:
"...Can somebody put her out of her misery? She sounds like a dying whale..."

OMG! I had snot spraying out of my nose watching that!!!!!!!!!!

Good gosh. I could really give a rat’s patootie what Yoko Ono thinks about anything.

She really did stretch that 15 minutes out, didn’t she? Made a career out of 15 minutes, now that I think of it.
