Doesn't matter. The point is that if the country is destroyed because the first lady told a joke that has been told 48 million times then it was pretty weak country.
BTW it was not destroyed when the first lady was a bigamist or a loon or had a cheating spouse. Or even cheated on her spouse.
I reckon it will survive this.
And Washington and Jefferson and all the rest but especially you would have hated Franklin.
I repeat that no one can live up to your standards.
It's a union thing
I'd rather stick to immigration....something which you have been splendid about.
Actually, I think she was very specific in choosing this battle. Being a one trick pony on the pundit circuit means you get less air time with networks and radio shows, so you can't plug a book or anything else that could make dough for you. I think, she is looking towards being considered a more social conservative pundit to network bookers as opposed to just the immigration shtick. In the end, it's all about the bottom line, and just b/c you see someone on tv from time to time doesn't mean they're raking in a bundle of cheese.
But was does the "Year Two of Middle School Instructions on the Teaching of Match and Sciences" have to do with Michelle Malkin?
The correct term is "South Park Republican". "South Park Conservative" is an oxymoron.
Didn't you get the memo? It's now Moral Nation
South Park Conservative is the name of a book MM was referring to in her column by Brian Anderson.
Yes, and I am saying that Anderson turned the title into an oxymoron.
Good point. Michelle is a proper lady from a certain upbringing. She's not dividing anybody. I understand her reaction, although I thought the jokes were fine. (Love your tagline.)
And according to the author, South Park Conservatives are all the "new" conservatives or the "newly wired in" by talk radio, the Internet, Fox News, the new conservative book imprints, the upsurge in conservatism on campuses, etc.--the ones who are experiencing a kind of coming together after feeling isolated for so long. I think he mentions Free Republic in the book.
Your strawman is not working here!
This has nothing to with perfect....it has to do with "Doing The Right Things!" and in this setting everything was scripted and decided ahead of time!
Possibly.
Missed that memo. Thanks.
If this continues thru the weekend, then what will FR have become?
That is a load of horse milk.
That is the funny of this joke. It is a crude, as we in the industry call it, "d*ck" joke. The problem in telling them, which I have, is that if you feel they are wrong, which I do, is that once you tell them, you can't take them back. Plus, you get called on them.
I shared my witness on a comedian website, and the first thing that happened was one of the comedians replied, "I bet God is real proud of His child teliing d*ck jokes."
It isn't a matter of being humorless. It is a matter of standing up and calling out the wrongs in society.
The right was angered and called the NAGs when Kennedy and Clinton were found to be womanizers, they said nothing and commented how they did so much for the women's movement.
Well, even though Laura generally is a clean cut person, when she errs, she needs to be called on it.
We are told to be watchmen on the wall, and to warn each other when we err, or we are just as guilty. Those who are conservatives but not Christian see nothing wrong with the jokes told. Those of us who are both are not calling her out as a conservative, but as fellow Christians.
ROTFLOL! THAT'S FUNNY!
We get it bub.
It is Ocean Spray but is Light. I got to looking at the sugar content and saw what it was in the regular and bought the OS Cranapple Light. It is really good. I did not think I would like it, but I was wrong.
It probably wouldn't taste bad. As a matter of fact, some sugar free candy tastes pretty close to the sugarloaded variety.
