Hitler & Stalin had an alliance regarding Poland.  British "aid" consisted of dropping pamphlets.  Once the French got involved, well, that's when the REAL fun began.

I find there is often an equivalency in opposites.  In simplest terms, if you turn a square opposite, you'll have an upside-down square.  To be fair, I don't watch the show, but the constant banter reminds me of my ex-wife's obsession with "Friends".

Thank God, it's finally ending?  This show is like the male equivalent of "Sex and The City".  I thought we'd gotten this shit out of our systems with "Entourage".

Cool fact, edked; my esteem for dragonflies just rose exponentially.  In my area, we have "'skeeter eaters".  They look like giant mosquitos, but they use their camouflage to hunt & eat mosquitos.
(Another fun insect fact, you can kill cockroaches in the most fun way possible by spreading baking soda.  The roaches will

It's somewhat of a flawed argument on several levels.  Modern conservatives generally support the Constitution in its original form, which was drafted by (at the time) radical liberals.  It's something of a Mobius Strip of political thought when one thinks about it.  I'd advise not thinking about it too hard, however;

Right on Carlos.  Unfortunately, Nixon didn't have the charisma or the PR machine that Reagan had during Iran/Contra.  His 1987 address was almost hypnotic: "My heart and my best intentions remain true, but the facts state otherwise".

Oh, as soon as the black guy got elected, I saw this coming.  They're getting better & better at marketing outrage.  And Americans generally are more responsive to "outrage" than "facts"…'cause "facts" are for stodgy old college professors & the liberal media, after all.

Hmm, I may have to add a Jessie/Kelly lesbian scene to my masturbation fantasies now.

I support you on this, as JackFM's format is based on careful market research.  If you are unfortunate enough to be inundated by such radio stations, you are more than likely to hear Train, Nickelback, Lenny Kravitz, and RHCP songs within the course of a half-hour.

Try San Diego.  There's a dearth of awful faux-reggae/"world music" bands there marketing directly toward white guys with dreadlocks.  To paraphrase Cartman: "You want to make money from hippies?  Hippies don't HAVE any money!"

It may be conceived as blatant self-promotion, but I would suggest the "more bourbon" option.  And in defense of tea, if you ever visit one of those hipster hookah lounges, a hot sip of tea in between puffs is very refreshing.

Oh, I know.  I love Carpenter's movies, but his lack of prescience is astounding.  I almost had a "santorum surge" of my own when I saw the lineup in the last primary.  Buchanan would've been a blessing.

Nixon's reputation is undeserved.  He's an easy target because he was an angry, ugly man.  One cannot honestly condemn Nixon while lauding, say, Clinton, who lied under oath (I like Clinton, by the way, but I would have much higher regard for him if he'd just said, "Yeah, she blew me.  Big fucking deal.  I'm going

Heh.  I have so much fun explaining to my religious friends that it was not written by John the apostle, but by some delusional madman who also happened to be named "John".  Wow, TWO Johns?  What are the odds!

hipster1029, touting that Mr. Flea is among the Top 20 of rock bassists is like bragging about making the finals in the district spelling bee.  (FYI, Entwistle was the greatest rock bassist.  If you don't believe me, go listen to "Boris the Spider")

(As an addendum, I always chuckle a little bit whenever I watch Carpenter's "Escape From LA" and seeing the crazy right-wing fascist president portrayed as Buchanan.  We had the potential of having far crazier candidates like Bachman, Palin, or Santorum as our current president).

I didn't say he was correct in his arguments; I wrote that he is intellectually honest.  You can disagree with Buchanan, but I respect him for bringing forth cogent arguments that he actually believes.  As I would anybody.  In short: He is indeed a worthy foe (albeit a poor politician).

I am an American, yet I still struggle to understand how this "controversy" was manufactured.  It may be because some still consider her a "child star" (granted, she IS built like a little boy)?  This performance was strictly PG-13.  Hell, I watched Phoebe Cates take her top off when I was 9.  My first official

I read a book by Pat Buchanan (a man I respect for his unrelenting intellectual honesty, despite disagreeing with much of his political philosophy; heck he makes bumper-sticker spewing nutjobs like Sarah Palin or Rand Paul look like blithering idiots, which is never a bad thing) which argued that if the British had

By jingo, what's all this buffoonery then?  If we should ever meet, good sir, I shall pound you flat to your posterior with a fist to the face.  Now, pardon me while I don my bowler hat, go to the local for a pint of Newcastle, and watch the cricket match between New York & Pennsylvania.  Good day to you.
