It’s on! Cards are on the table, ducks are in a row, etc!
Strap-ons strapped, devices for ramming set to “down”, etc!
To the Indonesian FB commenter: if you think America is annoying from there, try living here.
There is one thing that I’m sure is consistent throughout the human race and that is the ability to be annoying. I’ve have no proof of this, just faith in humanity.
“It’s just like you miss a date with someone you care about, but you make it up by making phone calls, by sending things, and by preparing the best conditions for the day when the meeting becomes,” said Witoelar.
Send cash.
If your ten-year-old child weighs as much as you do, you’re spending too much on their food.
You should be putting them to work to earn their keep and to keep the USA competitive. Like they do in China.
If it takes your kid 10 years to hit 180lbs you’re not trying hard enough. My kid is barely 4 and I can’t even play on the seesaw with him. We’re real Americans.
Math is hard! From the Washington Post article on Israel: “All three polls showed a majority of Israelis supported continued construction in Jerusalem’s disputed eastern sector, the issue at the heart of the U.S.-Israeli row. Support ranged from 48 percent in one poll to 70 percent in another.”
Oddly prophetic

Q: Should I let my children eat bacon coated cheese clusters as they surf for online porn?
A: Might as well. They only live once.
Note to the Washington Post: 48% > 41%, yes, but it’s still less than half, which makes it a plurality, not a majority. The three polls are all over the place, though; either polling is trickier in Israel than here, or some had loaded questions.
It’s nice to see things looking bad for Bibi’s Likud party; there’s not much of a chance for peace as long as they and the even-further-right parties maintain control.
Why does every moron in the world feel they have a right and an obligation to go on the Internet to express every stupid thought that comes into their head?
::pause::
Nope, I’m Murrikan, no self-recognition or self-awareness gonna come from this Exceptionalpode (which reminds me, where’s BearBloke been, and how disappointed is he with Nobama’s No-show)?
Is he more or less upset than when Lizzie the Deuce did show up? I must know.
[re=533712]JMP[/re]: [re=533708]slavojzizek[/re]: Well, you see, in Israel 41 would be 14% < 84%, which is definitely not a majority, but rather a minority, which Jews are, except not in Israel, but they soon will be, if they don’t stop killing Palestinians, but anyway, the math works. M’kay?
[re=533715]Katydid[/re]: Ahem. Make that “In Israel, 48% > 41% would be 14% < 84%…” yada yada yada.
Crap, now I’m not sure if I did that right. Hebrew numbers are hard.

I think, when discussing Israel, perhaps “in the tank” is a poor choice of words.
Hilz and Nobama may be adults, but they’re pinko commie fascist adults, and if you think it’s easy to be a fascist and a commie, you must be a Republican.
What’s that white stuff on her upper lip in the middle picture? Is it siemens?
“America is annoying.”
Well, la-dee-fucking-da. Then they can return the billions of dollars in foreign aid that we send to them and take the shortcut to hell.
Fucking people.
Obese, shmobese. You can’t just look at weight in isolation, like they did in that study. You have to look at the combo of height and weight. If you’re 85th percentile for weight, and 90th percentile for height, you’re not obese, you’re just big boned.
[re=533715]Katydid[/re]: That comment makes you an anti-Semite! Only someone who hates Jews could claim that Palestinians are real people, whose opinions and lives matter.

Holy fuck, these motherfucking spambots don’t quit.
[re=533727]maggiegg82[/re]:you put “AGE” and “MINGLE” together, then you will get the url.
Like “Ma Negligé”? “Lame Egg In”?
“Sixteen months after Mr. Obama surprised nearly everyone by picking her (Hillary) as secretary of state.”
Really? I seem to recall that that was a slam dunk certainty when it became clear that he had the nomination.
[re=533730]maggiegg82[/re]: Hi, Wendy. BTW, unless your site has naked pix, GTFO
[re=533734]the problem child[/re]: or gag me line or Ga Leg Mine or Magi Gleen
So, Hispanic boys and Black girls came in 1st place. Did they check on the Samoans? ‘Cause them are some big people, the Samoans.
[re=533719]Sanchez1985[/re]: Don’t be dirty, Sanchez.
[re=533745]gurukalehuru[/re]: Its all those S’mores the Samoan kids eat.
Sp[re=533709]ManchuCandidate[/re]: This woman is trying to live the dream. Btw – she’s no parasite. She runs a website where people pay to watch her eat. I don’t know whether to laugh or puke.
Sunday is “Ram it down their throats day.” I am going to call up all my conservative relatives and tell them “take it all, yeah, come on, take it all, you know you like it.”
[re=533724]proudgrampa[/re]: You’re being ironic, right? Because I’m sure you know the only country we still give foreign aid to is Israel, and that “aid” is really just a debit card they can use at Northrup-Grumman-Lockheed to buy more of our stuff, which is so useful in bombing Palestinians.
[re=533721]gurukalehuru[/re]: If not “in the tank,” how about . . . “in the shower”? “on the boxcar”?
I am Mel Brooks and I approve this message.
Thanks for the tip on reading the WSJ, Wonkette. It comes in handy.
Dame Noonanshire is fretting that Indonesia won’t like us anymore. Ah, the weight of revising history doth provoke the vapors!
[re=533731]ManchuCandidate[/re]: It’s revenge for being impolite to the Father of our Cuntry.
[re=533729]JMP[/re]: Oy, and I’m a Jewish atheist no less. Please don’t tell my mother, she’ll kill me – or feed me – same thing.
[re=533754]Dashboard_Buddha[/re]: I applaud her self-esteem reversal. Now I just need to hope to become the world’s greatest lush. I feel better already.
[re=533778]slithytoves[/re]: I can help you with that. I’m a recovering sober-holic.
Bitter rivals working together in the White House? I blame Doris Kearns Goodwin.
[re=533764]Historysnuff[/re]: Methinks Dame Peggington is way misoverestimating how offensified the Australians and the Indonesians are over what is, after all, just a schedule change.
I also believe she is misunderestimating what a rude asshole that Baier guy was. If you want answers to your questions, you’ve got to shut up for a second and wait for them.
Demon Pass was kind of a cute pun, though. Peggy Noonan does have some redeeming features, despite being fucking retarded.
[re=533818]gurukalehuru[/re]: I beg to differ. Ms. Noonan has No Redeeming Features. None. Zilch. Nada.
[re=533752]donner_froh[/re]: Sounds like someone’s been buying candy from Camp Fire Girls.
Ducks in a row, strap-ons strapped, newspapers rolled, colons fully pressurized and ready to fart on command.
Hillary may be acting like an adult now, but just wait.
The disappointed folks are so worried about the U.S. relationship with the Indonesian people. Hell with that. Obama (rightly) needs to worry about his relationship with the Merrikan people, who are hurting.
If the Indonesians don’t like it, they can leave. Or something.
[re=533754]Dashboard_Buddha[/re]: Reminds of the story I heard about Octomom this morning. Seems she’s 450,000 dollars behind on her mortgage and her and her 14 kids may get put out on the street. Evidentely, depending on the stupidity of the American public to pay your bills may not always be the correct path to financial security.
A new poll shows that many Israelis are in the tank for Barack Obama, while quite a few are not so sure about their own leader. How terribly anti-Semitic of them!

Has this story disappeared? I just get a piece about Palestinians doing dastardly terror activities now.
Re Hillary and Obama:
Maybe because she is simply NOT the conniving, castrating, power lusting witch the media repeatedly portrayed her as throughout the campaign, for no good reason other than they (a) were in childhood indoctrinated by priests that women should not wield power (c.f. Chris Matthews, Tim Russert, and the worst misogynist at the Times, Maureen Dowdy); (b) wanted a new chew toy (c.f. Obama); and/or (c) wanted her to lose.
But do you hear any of the MSM stating they were WRONG about Hillary? Oh no, it is just SO SURPRISING that she gets along so well with others. Geez, give me a fucking break.
And no, I’m not a feminist or a woman. Just a guy wholly repulsed by MSM coverage of the past election.
Sorry I have no humor about this repulsive news coverage.
[re=533962]emberglance[/re]: Yeah, they have buried the story.
Quelle surprise.
