I'm not around ST much these days, but something no one has mentioned. The year was 2008. That same year, a particular candidate for POTUS said that he firmly believed marriage was only between one man and one woman. That candidate was not John McCain. Now, as we've seen, that unfortunately successful candidate has multiple talents in spewing forth untruthful words, holding world championships for both volume and velocity. He has since 'evolved', we've been told. Much as a pancake evolved into a waffle, I suppose. Oh, and another thing not mentioned... the CEO of OkCupid, where this all started, donated to an 'anti-gay' candidate (whatever in the wide wide world of sports that means) for Congress. http://www.motherjones.com/mojo/2014/04/okcupid-ceo-donate-anti-gay-firefox Oops. I smell a publicity stunt, with Eich left holding the bag.

Mark, wasn't it you that said Nobel Peace Prize winner Barracks O'Bomber wasn't going to take the US to war in Syria? Didn't you pooh-pooh my assertion to that only a couple of months ago? Now he even says he doesn't need UN backing. Funny, Bush never did that; he obtained UN approval for both Iraq and Afghanistan. Those WMDs we couldn't find in Iraq? The intel at the time said they went to Syria. Interesting how that is suddenly relevant again. Then there's the Syrian rebels taking credit for the whole chemical attack thing... As an American and a patriot, I say anyone and everyone in office currently beating the drums of war need to be impeached and possibly imprisoned. Like, last week. Hard labor wouldn't be off the table, IMO.

the BoR did exist in the 1800s, y'know. We did do away with public hangings, which might be of some use now if properly and expeditiously applied however.

attack an armed man unprovoked, get shot. It's a fact of life. I suppose the fact that poor widdle Saint Trayvon's previous history of drugs and burglary had nothing to do with it, or that his famous Skittles and melon iced tea are 2 of 3 ingredients for the homemade drug 'purple drank' did either. Poor widdle Saint Trayvon was no mere kid. The media used 5 year old pictures to hide his true size and physique. I have never attacked people unprovoked. I am still alive. There is a lesson there.

I was thinking of Dedicated Follower Of Fashion by The Kinks: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=t46vaqMkQLw

you ain't kidding. In my youth, I made and played with stuff that makes TNT look like those little party-popper bottles. I haven't done any of it since the Clinton era, but the information is readily available. I got my recipes from declassified Special Forces manuals from the army surplus store; they were effective and shockingly powerful.

meh, I have nothing to hide lol.

The American press fawns shamelessly over Barracks O'Bomber, and he's not even pregnant (though not from lack of trying with his 'body man' Reggie, from what I hear). The lengths they have gone to, to protect him from his scandals and outrageous malfeasance... it's pretty much treasonous.

males should never drink soy milk. The isoflavonoids are converted into estrogen... not good news for the masculine hormones. A KFC Doublicious sandwich... chicken breast fillet with bacon and white cheddar, add mayo. That's good fast food eatin' right there.

If I had a dollar for every time I have been threatened or harassed on the internet, I'd be able to buy and sell Bill Gates like a cheap Chinese-made toy at Walmart. My response to them is always the same. You can find me, it's not hard. Come to the door and we'll have a us a real good time. If you survive the first 30 seconds, you win.

just a fun aside from social media, dovetailing with the Paula Deen silliness:

just killed a couple of pieces of Rosati's thin crust sausage pizza. Man, I will miss Chicago pizza.

one of the all-time greatest fusions of world-beat, prog rock, and literary references... King Crimson, The Sheltering Sky. http://youtu.be/N8tqEas6mjY

I had actually hoped the Blackhawks would lose, so that accursed Chelsea Dagger song would go away. Now I'll have to hear it until they choose another crappy drunken anthem.
