The bit with Howard Cosell giving the play-by-play on a coup was pure brilliance....”And DOWN...It’s over, all over for El Presidente.”

I happened to be reading the Wikipedia page about the tanning of hides a couple of hours ago (one of the most disgusting subjects I’ve ever encountered)

LOL! I worked part of my way through college at a hide tannery. Disgusting? You don't know the half of it ...

Not only is a Democrat unthinkingly violating the PC taboo against discrimination, discriminating on the basis of age in this case, but regardless what Obama’s activist justices wanted everybody to think about the constitutionality of Obamacare, the states have never delegated to the feds, expressly via the Constitution, the specific power to regulate intrastate health issues.

Tanning beds are stupid.

Those cops who work with undercover teenagers to entrap those selling liquor and cigarettes to minors can now start loitering outside tanning salons. What a great time we’ll all have. Then we can turn out attention to booksellers who allow minors to buy anything that “denies” climate change, same-sex marriage, amnesty, etc. Let’s fill the jails.

Yup. ‘Specially when there’s free sun shine. Unless they start taxing that too like rain water in a barrel.

How about a law that Rosa DeLauro can’t go out in public without wearing two bags over her head.
Dang she is ugly!

She looks like a Jack Davis caricature here, which is ironic since he did the poster for Bananas, mentioned in post 10.

Duffy likes them.

“Please, Dear God, please, pay attention to the young actor playing Winston. His name is Marty Comanche, and I found him sleepwalking through Laurel Canyon high on mescaline. It was a very happy accident that he could act.”

She is possibly the naturally ugliest woman I’ve ever seen. Married to a big-time Dem pollster (Greenberg, I think). Wouldn’t you love a night out on the town with them?

Nonetheless, I DO think these tanning beds that are so popular witht teens (now declining in popularity) should be off limits to kids. It is setting them up for melanoma later in life. Never thought I’d come even close to agreeing with a thing this woman advocates. But how you keep them from getting tanning and laying the seeds of melanoma at the beach is quite another story.
