The Constitution protects our right to speak critically of our political leaders. Unfortunately, that protection seems to cause some to believe that vulgarity and personal attacks are a meaningful substitute for a constructive, even empassioned, discussion about ideas and policies.

Did the check include his mental health?

'The president remains in excellent health and is 'fit for duty,''

That would take away the criminal defense about him being impaired and unable to stand a trial.

Whare was his Gonzo looking?

This proves once and for all he's a fruit.
Only a Lyme could contract this disease. Could a human possibly get Elm's disease? I wonder if they also checked him for Apple Scab and Cedar Rust.

He found it. Why do you think they are grilling him? You don't really think it's for some fired attornys do you?

Further study: 'William Jefferson'.

It's nice that he had full medical coverage for his lyme disease, unlike millions of others in this country that are denied the same coverage.

You guys have me in stitches with all those hilarious comments. I'm sure some of them will wind up on Leno or something... Lenny Bruce would be proud.

I've pasted them all into a .doc for those days when I'm in need of a good laugh again.

On a seriouser note, someone wrote the following :

'The Constitution protects our right to speak critically of our political leaders. Unfortunately, that protection seems to cause some to believe that vulgarity and personal attacks are a meaningful substitute for a constructive, even empassioned, discussion about ideas and policies.'

What I find vulgar in the extreme, nay, obscene; is those people who teach their children to honor and respect little monsters like The Big Tick. They salute the flag, march off to war without question, kill for a better life, imprison for freedom and try to leave the 'others' with no choice but democracy. All in the name of some furshlugginer 'benevolent' God.

What the beep is wrong with 'em?

They really tick me off.

Right on Spitfire,

have you ever pondered this,

We don't allow our kids to smoke cigaretts until they are sixteen or of a mature age,
We don't allow our kids to drives vehicles until they are of a mature age.

But the very moment our kids are born some weirdo is pumping religious crap
into their heads and the two nastiest groups on the planet,the muslems and the Jews are the worst offenders.

In my experience, in my experience I said, the nastiest group is Christian.

Why?

No Jew or Muslim friar ever sneaked into our dormitory at night to get their rocks off with my fellow orphans. That was in-house, home made Christian Crap.

There are no 'worse' offenders. Religion is just a form of mass rhetoric (like freedom, democracy, the Revolution or Lebensraum) that affords one power over the most ignorant, 'just give me a target and I'll just leave the thinking part to you if you don't mind' dregs of this planet, wherever they may be found. I'm afraid that this represents a frightening proportion of the global population.

To me, everyone who has religion is suspect. If I ever murder someone, it'll be because I wanted to kill that person. I'll never try to blame some bearded chimera who art in heaven for my deed. That's getting old. Furshlugginer. If I ever murder someone, at least I won't get off that easy, which makes me less likely to... da da da.

I thought the struggle between reason and religion ended with the late renaissance and 'enlightenment'. I was as wrong as a soup sandwich, to borrow an expression from this page.

I'm listening to Vivaldi right now, who with Bach embodies this era. If one looks closely, one will find that most wars of the era were financial rather than religious. Hapsburgs, Hohenzollerns were the Standard Oils of the era. Condottieri, all.

At least, they were able to call a spade a spade. And you do need a spade to shovel your way through a pile of lies.

Maybe this was the only 'enlightenment' to be found in those days... so where does that leave us?

Somewhere without a paddle.
