Ow, I feel like I just had an exam looking at that graphic. So I’m good for the year, right?
ISRAEL MUST DESIST!
I for one am utterly sickened by the outrageous display of violence carried out by the evil Israeli forces against the innocent, peace-loving people of Palestine. For too long the aggressors, propped up by sinister foreign forces, have been allowed to attack poor civilians, unchecked by any vestige of moral conscience.
As usual, the sick and twisted armchair supporters of Israel turn a blind eye to their wrong-doing and try to blame Palestine instead. They conveniently ignore the fact that Palestinians are perfectly entitled to defend themselves against the constant onslaught by Israel, who will not be happy until every last Palestinian is dead.
PALESTINE MUST BE PUNISHED!

It sounds like New Orleans needs to ‘toughen up’. How dare they only shoot guns when they can use rockets in the middle east?
NRA/GOP - get on this. Our lack of rockets in cities is the most important issue facing America today.
The Canadians are so cute. They use gloves to do that!
So, does that illustration represent Canada poking a hole in our Stimulus Package?
Never mind that man’s prostate. He’s got a penis and nuts growing in his leg.
wheelie: wheelie:
How can you live with yourself?
freakishlystrong:
From what I’ve been told, that’s the He Spot so actually Canada City is boosting your stimulus package.
Bruno: Shouldn’t he have an erection when that’s happening?
I haven’t had the heart to read Kristol or Krauthammer this morning, but I bet they’ve toned down that “failed presidency” stuff.
Serolf Divad: Win!²
wheelie: You got it wrong, that’s a CANADIAN finger in that guy’s ass, not an Israeli one. You’re welcome.
Also.
Regarding the informative illustration, here’s how to do it right:

Actually that illustration was originally meant to accompany Thomas Friedman’s column today.
Thank you for the graphic of all eight of former President Jr.’s State of the Union addresses.
Wow, I do not need that last article this early. And over breakfast! Thanks a lot, Sara.
Dean Booth: That’s just… nuts.
If she keeps going at this rate, Mrs. Obama may do to dresses with sleeves what President John F. Kennedy did to men’s hats.
Everyone knows sleeveless dresses are a secret communist dress code.
/sorry, just had a KLo moment
I suppose the graphic is a good explanation for why we don’t hear much about Republicans getting prostate cancer.
Winning comment from the NYT thread:
It’s enshrined in the second amendment that Michelle Obama has the right to bare arms.
“Also in the chamber Tuesday was former Sen. Norm Coleman, still fighting his Minnesota election.”
Is this true? They let him in there?
(Its in HuffPo, so I don’t know if its true, especially since I didn’t easily find the info elsewhere…)

Fucking Spammer. Besides, most of the sugar daddies these days pay in Hobo Beans and Rice.
anno: Do SugarBabies get free cans of hobo beans? If so, count me in!
I remember SugarBabies. They used to get stuck in my teeth. Frickin’ cheapassed Hallowe’en candy.
anno: haha. This is fantastic spam! I feel like I’m on a ‘real’ internette site now.
that graphic illustrates the final stage of interview for Republican pages. free prostate exam, baby! that’s…um…awesome, right? wait, why is the Congressman getting out latex gloves???
anno: I can’t trust a service that doesn’t use whore diamonds in its ratings.
WadISay: Kristol is whining that Hopey paid lip service to President Bam-Bams wars and didn’t even mention the imminent, deadly threat posed by the Persian devil hell people.
That headline says “Prosate” instead of “Prostate”. Stupid Canadians.
Also, I’m confused about that article because THE WHOLE POINT OF PROSCAR IS TO KEEP YOU FROM GETTING PROSTATE CANCER (yeah, my 81-year-old dad takes it, so there). So what’s the point of that article? “MEDICATION WORKS AS PLANNED. HERE’S AN ILLUSTRATION OF SOMEONE POKING A FINGER INTO SOMEONE’S ASS.”
WadISay: We thinks alike, yo.
I know that this is far from the focus of the NYT article, but the man sitting between Michelle Obama and Jill Biden is Officer Richard DeCoatsworth of the Philadelphia Police Department, who was *shot in the face* while on duty at age 21 and still managed to radio for help and chase the perp for many blocks. Then on his first day back to work after recovering, he caught a murderer. The Bidens invited him to the speech last night.
Who knew the First Lady was such a proponent of the second amendment right to bare arms?
Something is not right around here today.
I just can’t quite put my finger on what it is….
Hmmm.
I’ll finger it out.
Sooner or later I’ll get to the bottom of this, and when I do….
Oh, SHIT!
Illustration of the first step in harvesting TruckNutz.
Serolf Divad: i’m guessing he throws a lot of rocks at himself …
I downloaded that Canadian illustration and when the computer asked for a title, I typed in “How Republicans Reproduce.” Am I the next Oscar Wilde or what?
I didn’t have time to read the article, so how does having a finger up my ass help me not get cancer?
