Go ahead, skin it. Skin that smokewagon and see what happens. THROW DOWN, BOY! You gonna do something or just stand there and bleed?

Love that movie. Though, I can't help but think about the double meanings that are now brought into the picture with the advent of brokeback cowboys... :D

Well, yes I do have a german last name. And eye color and hair color are only a small part of features. I ain't sweedish and everyone knows it. Read the rest of the thread and stop being a jackass.

So do I.

looking back, I should have put a qualifier in there like so:

As a person who is normally disliked by SOME Jews on sight for my arian features

I did NOT mean to paint with that broad a brush and I apologize to anyone who thought that I did. Now that I realize the way I sounded, I see why people took it the way they did. Please know that I didn't mean it that way.

I believe this may be the case. I am born and bred New York City. I'm very surprised at the number of people that take offense at what I said. What I said was the honest truth.

My mother can (and will) tell you horrible stories about how children weren't allowed to play with me in my neighborhood.

I honestly didn't think it was such a big deal when I cited it. I cited it as something that would seemingly make most NYC people anti-semitic (many are...way too many). I never have been and never will be. My future children will be Jewish for God's sake! :)

Well hell, I'm usually right too...maybe we should start a club.. :p

Yet your opinions remind one of...

yada yada yada...

I'm not going to fight with you. I'm sorry I called you an idiot. It just so happened that you declared MY opinion as a CROCK, which isn't exactly polite either, now is it?

Well, apparently, I guess it didn't happen then. I guess you're right. Since you declare it a crock, it must be. (you're an idiot)

I grew up with em too. Hell, I'm married to one.

The kids liked me too when I was a kid. Their parents, however, hated me and told their kids to stay away from me.

Give me a break with this 'I think you need to see a shrink' bullcrap. Shove that where the sun doesn't shine if you don't have anything useful to say.

People of all kinds discriminate. Myself included. However, I have been ostracized because of my VERY arian features. I'm sorry if that offends you, but it's the truth.

'We all may die for Israel.'

As a person who is normally disliked by Jews on sight for my arian features, I say: BRING IT ON. It's a worthy cause. And if I die for supporting them, then I hope I'm buried upside down so the anti-semitic left can kiss my big fat white arian ass.

It's overkill to delegitimize the practice of judicial filibusters? Think about the future for a second. Allowing a filibuster of a supreme court nominee and legitimizing it with a cloture vote would set a precedent and basically nullify the entire nuclear option entirely!!!

I hope you are wrong that it won't. I really hope you are...

When did Karl Rove start working for the other side then? This is a huge rope-a-dope. If they vote for cloture instead of going nuclear, they'll be opening the door for minority rule of judicial appointees forever. That cannot be allowed to stand. A regular fillibuster serves as a negotiating tool and therefore serves a purpose. Judicial fillibusters exist only to obstruct. Nuclear is the only option.

Well, I sure hope Frist has it together better than a lot of folks on FR today. I swear it's like being at DU with all these people insisting that we should legitimize the practice of judicial fillibusters by not going nuclear...

Why on earth would we set the precedent of allowing a fillibuster of a supreme court nominee to stand?

Those lilly livered sap suckers better go nuclear.

Why the heck would you vote for cloture and legitimize the illegitimate practice of judicial fillibusters?????!!!!!

Nuclear is the only way and that's 51 votes NOT 60!!!!

Not to yell at you or anything, but dammit, it seems like everyone's forgotten that today.

"The Senate requires 60 votes to prevent a filibuster. Right now, they are not there yet."

They are, however, well past the 51 needed to go nuclear, are they not?

He will be missed and his talents will be missed as well.

I'm not a religious man, so I won't offer prayers to the family. In fact, on any normal day, I'd like to knock Sean Penn's teeth down his throat. But on this day, my heart and thoughts are with Sean and the rest of Chris' love ones. It brings a tear to my eye, as merely an observer, to think that Chris Penn is gone for good. I can only imagine what it must be like for people that knew and loved him.

Government spending is one issue, but Ford getting run out of the country by unions is quite another. The handwriting has been on the wall for a long time with the UAW and the US auto industry. People just refused to see the forest through the trees. Now, it's all coming home to roost. Can't blame 'gubbmint spendin' though. The blame falls on the unions and the industry for not kicking up a fight against them when they could still breathe.

How can anyone who thinks that clearly be a lib? I don't get it...
