Context optional

I just finished reading this thread.

Slaughterhouse Five now seems quite normal by comparison.

Where's the rest of the Human League, circa 1983?

[MASHED POTATOES. VOTE!]

I'm moving to Alabama so I can be legally labeled a tramp.

[Joe Republic]

...the movie Kumar and Alexandar look for White Castle?

Not at all a sad thread the way many linked here at are. Just zingers galore.

I think Don's takes the prize, though

I had always thought the swearing-in was January 3, but the session didn't actually begin until January 5.

Did the Bush DUI story hurt republican senate candidates in the 2000 election?

No, but the stories of Dan Fogleberg albums being passed out did hurt all candidates... also touching yourself at night makes the sweet baby jesus cry.

I really enjoyed working with him in our time together as moderators.

I have absolutely no doubt he felt the exact same way.

Like I replied to Joe, whether Lunar feels the same way is really a non-issue for me.  I respect him as a moderator and am glad to have him as a friend.

Yates, I hope you get cancer and die.

Thank you, Sam.  I have reported this post and ask that you kindly refrain from contacting me or directing comments towards me again.

You think this is over, f****t?

Agreeing with Spade this early in the year is unsettling.......but oh well.

It's nice to know not everybody is a naive fool bending themselves over to be nice and pleasant to a fraud.

[Keystone Phil]

I never claimed to have the Mountain time zone's first orgasm of the new year, although it might have been close if such records were kept. 

[King]

It may seem that we've gone down this road before, and we probably have, but I have not explored this job title in the past.

[Gustaf]

This was funny because it wasn't, basically.

if King started in the last minute of 2010 then he finished before the New Year

[Landslide Lyndon]

"bm" as in before modern era?

bowel movement.  When you get to be his age those are as difficult to achieve as orgasms.  And much more rewarding.

[Platypus]

I do, however, still think the moderator job should entail more than single-mindedly targeting out singular posters for banning.

We do other stuff too.  The other day we played Yahtzee.

Oh my! I would probably just have deleted the whole thread, and pretended it never happened,  if it were my decision.

[Хahar 🤔]

James Shields - Matt Garza or David Price would have been far more deserving of a statue, IMO.

This election is the defining moment for America though.  It will be the most important election in the history of the country due to what Obama has done.  If he wins, the country dies.  People will have finally accepted full submission and control by the government.  If he loses the country is saved.  I don't think that's going to be boring.

Winfield is really getting better and better (links)

President Benson Rockefeller makes a campaign swing through the midwest and plains states, and addresses the troops.

2012 will be a weird year. Who would expect that this unknown former Governor of Louisiana would run for President? Who knows, Buddy Roemer may be the next President of the United States!

This idiot managed to come third in his re-election bid; behind an open fascist who used to be the head of the KKK. You probably didn't know that because your parents hadn't been born when it happened.

The OP is pretty funny too:

This is an example of that. As was 1996. Yawn. Seriously....Obama/Biden's re-election? Romney for President? Mitch Daniels?

If anybody else agrees...please chime in. This campaign and news cycle makes 1996 look entertaining.

Maybe the whole "action-movie suspense" atmosphere from 2001-2009 just spoiled me. Seriously. Our President wore a flight suit and landed on an Aircraft Carrier! It was straight outta Bill Pullman's performance in "Independence Day" for God's sake!

I found this to be a bit amusing:

While some on the left did jump to conclusions too fast, it is troubling to see that those on the right are still hesitant to condemn language like "don't retreat, reload" or "second amendment remedies".

Yes, this guy was insane. Most people who commit violence for political reasons usually are insane, unless it is a mass movement. But his Schizophrenia (that is what is seems like he has) can be trigerred by many things. I don't know if sweet Sarah's map targetting individuals (not districts, but individuals) was misinterpreted by the voices within this guy's head. Most probably that is not the case. But the potential is there. That is why politically influential people should watch what they say. Hopefully this will be a teaching moment for these people. Probably not for similarly insane individuals like Beck, but hopefully Sarah will thing twice before getting all cute with language about guns.

And I would say the same of leftists if they were doing this sort of sh**t. But are they? Are their prominent liberals advocating for "second amendment remedies" if they lose elections? There were definitely a few crazies around when Bush was President, but they were always marginalized. They did not have primetime coverage on America's most popular "news" station.

If you disagree with any of this, you have lost all capacity of critical thought.
