Lofty you just earned your stripes! Priceless..
ReplyDeleteHat's off!
ReplyDelete*snicker*
ReplyDeleteI bet you get 1000 flags for your blog being inappropriate now. You know if a liberal is offended...somebody's gonna pay.
ReplyDeleteHow can I email you some pics of interest? :)
ReplyDeleteOnly if you (anonymous) are an extremely attractive blond gal 20-40 years of age. THOSE would definitely be 'of interest'.
ReplyDeleteYou know that you're quite an ASS, right?
ReplyDeleteI like the last one.
ReplyDeleteHave these people no innate capacity for embarrassement?

Love 'em all, Lofty. Especially the human humidor Lewinsky.
ReplyDeleteI'll take two of the one about 'not everyone can be on welfare' that is hilarious
ReplyDelete"Love 'em all, Lofty. Especially the human humidor Lewinsky."
ReplyDeleteI just threw up a little in my mouth.
Lofty, at the top of your blog, it can be flagged as inappropriate. That's so the thought police can come in and shoot you down with their lazerbeam eyes.
Inappropriate is such a subjective term.
Anyway, just kidding, I only think the very hard core kool aid drinkers are gonna flag your blog.
Oh, I see. Sort of like in kindergarten when little Timmy says some words that he learned from his older cousin and the little liberal moms and dads call a meeting with the principal because their little liberal kids' ears might hear things that they'll hear for the rest of their lives but they want to protect them from anything that might upset little liberal Lizzie or Larry for the rest of their pathetic little liberal sad lives?
ReplyDeleteI don't know Lofty. Maybe those liberal mom and dads would invite Timmy over to dinner so he could teach their children freedom of expression, and they'd applaud his individuality and encourage him to experss himself.
ReplyDeleteIt's all good until you express a conservative viewpoint. Then suddenly free speech ain't so free any more. Kind a like in France where Bridget Bardot is in court AGAIN for making anti-muslim statements. But, it's ok to say Death to America.
"Death to America to you and goodnight."

I am a lefty, have been for a long time (but don't practice in the states) - and I am, I'm ashamed to say, addicted to this blog. Love it. Think I'm slowly getting pulled to the right... will be hanging out at gunshow's in no time.
ReplyDeleteYikes.
Richter: Nice flame-out today in your message to me. Don't contact me again. It's only a matter of time on this blog too.
ReplyDeleteWow.
ReplyDeleteDevorrah, are you female? Where are you from? how old are you? just wondering whether you feel like sharing.
I just feel like keeping that to myself.
Yes. Silicon Valley. 45. I've already stated this elsewhere. So go keep to yourself.
ReplyDeleteI gotta get me one of those Monica Blewclinsky buttons...
ReplyDeleteE: how about: Monica Lewinsky's ex-boyfriend's [Best "sex" (technically)] wife for President?
ReplyDelete(The 'technically' is a reference to the fact that it took a court to get Monica's ex-boyfriend, the lawyer, to define 'sex', as you may recall from CNN.)
Bosnian Snipers Suck. They missed by so much that the video shows that the bitch never even ducked. I wouldn't have missed.
ReplyDeleteAnon: Glad you're starting to see the light and moving right. After you get done with the gun show, let's go watch us some NASCAR.
funny but the bush ones are still better
ReplyDeleteMy personal fav
Like a rock only dummer
(with a toothy grin of W)
I am still angry at Bill for his finger-wag, and I'm still angry at Dubya for his "search" for WMDs under the furniture in the Oval Office.
ReplyDeleteOne man got a blow job from a fat girl and lied about it. Another man sent people to their deaths and joked about it.
I'll vote for the bitch any day.
aww come on now 911. Are you that much of an ideologue that you can't laugh at good humor. I mean your right the bug-eyed hillary is hilarious. So is everytime W tries to say "nuclear". Everytime he mispronounces it I can't stop laughing. Of course I think his handlers have banned him from saying it because I haven't heard it for awhile. Get a sense of humor man.
ReplyDeletePS: W's dad probably DID get him into Harvard (like Yale and the national guard). The perks of a silver spoon. By the way, I did my tour of duty in the US Army so go play that card with someone who gives a $hit pal.
dear anonymous,
ReplyDeletethank you for your anonymous service. a silver spoon might get you into harvard but it won't get you out and as far as silver spoons go, i can't think of anyone with a bigger one than miss 'coattails' clinton, the 'senator from new york', fucking ridiculous.
re: a silver spoon might get you into harvard but it won't get you out
ReplyDeleteOh Jesus Christ 911. You went to med school didn't you? I can think of at least 10 people in my class who should have been kicked out if they hadn't been coddled all the way through by admin. All these colleges work the same and you damn well know it. The sad fact is W is where he is today because of his birth. He is probably going to go down as one of the worst presidents of all-time. One of the good things about the military is that $hit doesn't work that way there. You either get with the program or get your (*&^ kicked. Take your ideology blinders off for once.
PS: Never said I liked clinton. I still think the bug-eyed cartoon is hillary-arious.
anonymous,
ReplyDeletei don't know what med school you went to if you went, but it certainly was not that way at my school. yes, they did not like to fail people out, and, in fact, if you were doing poorly in a particular subject, me in biochemistry for instance, they provided you with a tutor. that being said we did lose two students in my class of 130 to grades and other things. at the state med school out of a class of 180 they failed 30 out. good points you make.
contrarily, in my four years active duty i witnessed that if you were a. female or b. a minority, that the rules would be bent and broken in the sake of diversity. this was particularly evident after the tailhook 'scandal' when pat schroeder decided that having women in fighter aircraft was immediately necessary. consequently, the physical/athletic requirements to even get into flight training were modified so that women could do them (the obstacle course wall for example is 5 feet high for women and 10 feet high for men).
my boss in the service, a white male doc and flight surgeon who is now an F15 test pilot, failed to get a black woman disqualified from the program even though she had a seizure. you see, flying aircraft with a seizure is, well, deadly for the pilot and the crew. the reasoning was that a. she was black and b. she was female and c. she could fly multi engine aircraft so if she seized the plane might be landed safely by the others.
also, when i did combat casualty care at camp bullis i found that, with women and small folks in combat, that if i were wounded i would die. i'm 6'5'' and 235lbs and the women could not carry me out of harms way even on the big-boy litters. and i was not the only one they could not carry. basically the nurses and female docs could only carry someone of 130 pounds or so.
blinders? doesn't that fence get a little irritating on your anus? now, go get your own blog and stick to the daily kos.
Daily Kos???
ReplyDeleteYou must be the one with your head up your butt. As a matter of fact I voted for Reagan, Bush's Dad, and Dole. REAL REPUBLICANS who honored the ideals of the republican party. Sure Bush is a neocon with the Iraq and religious right agenda. But Bush IS NOT A FINANCIAL CONSERAVTIVE. Have you seen are yearly budget and national debt? Why don't you look it up. What is W's answer? Gives us more borrowed money in the from of a national rebate so he can spruce up the last few months in office before we fall into a deep recession (which is going to happen by the way nomatter who become president). The simple FACT is from a financial standpoint Bill Clinton was more conservative than W (and the numbers support this). Back in 2000 I wanted McCain. Not sure what I am going to do now given his backtracking to the neocon/religious right to win the nomination. I hope they were nothing more than words to get the nomuination and he once again makes decisions for the best of the country not the neocons (if elected). So though I consider myself a republican in the TRUE SENSE OF THE WORD HISTORICALLY I am not a member of this hijacked party anymore. Maybe you should do a little reading from a financial standpoint to see all the "good" (sarcasm on) W has done for this country because you sound very misinformed right now.
anonymous,
ReplyDeletei agree. still think the republicans are closer to reagan than shrillary or o. hussein obama.
