“Because this parenting shit is day after day after day after day after day of throwing shit at the wall and seeing what maybe sticks.”

Oh good God, do you really think you’re making a valid point?  I can't even with you.  

“Nu-uh” is not a counter argument. You can think whatever you want, but you’ll be wrong.  Pest pressure increases are a direct result of climate change.  

Nope. I did know I guy in med hold whose knee was so messed up that he still hadn’t finished basic, but had been there long enough to be permanent party. I just got a medical separation; it's like I never even joined up.  My knee disagrees, especially now into my 40's.  

This is also directly related to climate change and God forbid the GOP acknowledge that. The west coast forests are facing massive increases in pest pressure with new cankers and tree borers invading and destroying acres upon acres of trees. The weakened and dead trees just sit there, increasing the fuel loads for…

Jesus Christ, you can’t be a real person. You’re somehow condescending and paternalistic all in the same paragraph. Thanking service people is a meaningless empty gesture that only benefits the person doing the thanking. If people wanted to actually show how important our armed forces volunteers were, we would stop…

“If they don’t enter the armed service with the good of the country in mind then I don’t want them entering the armed services. The entire point of serving the nation is that you believe above all else that we will make the right decisions.”

When I joined up way back in 1994, it wasn't so much to protect America from whatever, it was more that I lived in rural Appalachia, the power plant wasn't hiring, and I wanted out of my dead end town.  Stop treating service men and women as noble idealistic heroes; some probably are, more probably aren't.  Most of…

How is HamNo gonna pin this one on Obama?   

“I just wasn’t like, inspired by any of the candidates.”

“He’s the endpoint of American Exceptionalism.”

Well to a point anyway. Fuel loads building up is a part of this, true. But the Bureau of Land Management isn’t exactly loaded with money to send roving fire controlled burn crews around to deal with this. Those operations are huge and expensive.

Knowing that someone in elected office has done the same math that I have gives me a little bit of hope. Paycheck - rent - surprise medical emergency = walking to work and eating beans for dinner for three weeks.  Fuck those Fox assholes.  

Do not blame weed.  Weed is my friend.  

How did this article get out of the greys?  

“And yes, the Dems need to put forward a ticket with two white men—get out of the starting gate with no handicaps whatsoever—unless you want another MI, WI, PA fiasco. “

Nice.  You're a quality human being.  

“Because this guy is the stereotypical GOP dude that goes around bashing gays and promoting “family values” and he’s gayer than Liberace.”

In person NBA games are a whole different matter.  Those are always fun.  I went to a Hornets-Pacers game a few years ago and still had a blast.
