But it’s still hard for me to believe it’s 2015, let alone June, let alone halfway through June!
2015 is almost halfway over. How the heck did that happen?

Chiquita Banana singer is dead, RIP Monica Lewis!

I like this song, it’s my new favorite oldie(1947) but goodie…

Of course ROK “servicethemselfmembers/WARDOGS” back in 1951 perved-OUT over her during her nearly 1 month stay in S. Korea…

RIP Monica Lewis. She was truly epic.
93 is a good, long life though.

Has anyone seen this flame warriors site?
It’s pretty funny.
Lots of characters we might recognize there:

“How can a life be long when time goes by so fast?”

1. Time does not “go by”. Physical reality is a four dimensional existence rather than a changing three dimensional existence. Your consciousness has a position and velocity in all four dimensions within this existence.

2. The concept of “fast” is based on biological speed of perception.

3. That’s the smartest thing Tbone has ever written. Encore!

Brigadier General Stephen Cheney stepped up to the podium to discuss…
http://www.progressive.org/news/2015/06/188178/hawk%E2%80%99s-eye-view-climate-change
Brigadier General Stephen Cheney stepped up to the podium to discuss “conflict and climate change.” Although Cheney is CEO of the American Security Project think tank, he identifies first as a retired Marine who likes to talk about “war fighting.” That’s fitting for a gathering that revolved around the “war on climate change”—a phrase used by journalist Cyril Mychalejko to describe the tendency to fit the world’s coming climatological upheavals into a “national security framework.”

Denialism still holds some sway in Congress, with seven GOP senators expressing outrage in May that FEMA asked states to plan for climate change, but among the military and defense technology elites gathered at the symposium, no time was wasted on debating the science.”

#11 I don’t see what all the fuss is about. She’s just doing a reverse Michael Jackson. Next, she’ll get caught sleeping with old guys and their families will pay her off.

…and, like Michael, she likely has an interest in the Elephant Man’s bone… though, in this case, the “Elephant Man” didn’t get his nickname due to skin texture.

I wonder when a baby is going to dangle her over a railing.

This poses a dilemma for the Black Grievance Industry.

Failing to support her is racist. She has done more for (a segment of) the black community than many blacks.

Supporting her means that black is an identifiable culture as much as a race… opening the door to the idea that much “racism” could actually be culturalism.

Whatever the case, this broad appears to be crazier than a shythouse bat.

We need to stop having “wars” on everything, including wars. I’m all warred out. Besides we tend to lose them. Looks bad.

Maybe if we had fewer “czars” we’d have less “wars.” Of course this would require semi-intelligent and informed voters who believe in solving problems rather than relying on magic.

To solve this problem, it sounds like we need a War on Czars.

One capitalist’s War on Terror is another communist’s People’s Revolution Against Terror.

In both cases, the conflict mostly exists as an excuse to extend government control over its citizens.

In other news…

“we need a War on Czars”
“But that’s so 1917.”

Better keep that in 1917. Drug Czar rolls off the tongue so much better than Drug Bolshevik.

“GOP Clown Car Filling Up.”

Democratic Coven Not Filling Up.

Hillary is the only witch running in a party that claims to champion women…

…but then we know that, despite all her talk of female empowerment, she shut her trap and got back in the kitchen after her husband got head from a bouncy girl half her age.

So much for Democratic Girl Power.

It looks like the War on Women is mostly liberals running around shooting themselves in the foot.

Republicans don’t have a War on Women.

They are too busy screwing high school boys and picking up restroom cruisers with their “wide stance”.

She DID? I don’t think Hillary has ever shut her trap, and I don’t think anyone has gone near that one’s pharoah tomb since the 70s.
…but If what you say is true, he needs to do that a lot more.

“Hillary shut her trap”

…metaphorically, Liz, metaphorically.

She stood behind her man and wound up blaming “the woman”…

…which is probably where half the blame belongs… the other half being with her. Bill was just being a dude.

Nonetheless. meekly standing behind the guy who shamed her and blaming “the woman” is not really the Girl Power response liberals normally push on the public.

When a nameless low-level flunky conservative cheats on his wife, he is a world-class bastard.

…but maybe conservatives bring it on themselves with all the talk of family values…

…while liberals think a drug-using illegal alien tranny with HIV and a convicted felon hermaphrodite on welfare would make good parents… so the president cigar-fukking an intern is no big thing.

Fortunately for society, Hillary will pass away before she can become president.

EGGHEAD is SOOOOO angry! I can feel his hatred to yet another woman from afar. If the president isn’t a white male then the GOP/EGGHEAD hate will never be turned off.

I admit, basing a conclusion off a sample of 1.000 is not good science…

…but 100% of presidents, who have not been white males, have been poor presidents.

Tbone, I don’t hate women… quite the contrary, in fact.

I just hate limousine liberal women who have all sorts of instructions for the masses which they choose not to follow themselves.

I hate any white conservative Republican men who have the same attitude…

…so I am completely equal opportunity.

Keep in mind, Republican or Democrat, almost every pet program someone in government pushes in which they are intentionally exempt from the consequences, is probably not a program that truly benefits you.

I only said “GOP Clown Car Filling UP” and you express your s e x i s t/hatred on Hillary Clinton. If you were truly “completely equal opportunity” you could’ve easily attacked another GOP who has “all sorts of instructions for the masses” since MOST or ALL have more than Hillary Clinton.

You’re a true Hillary/Woman hater…You’re the 1st to comment at the link below and for some reason connect Hillary to the wife of former General and CIA Director Patraeus. You don’t understand what love is do you? If a woman isn’t attractive according to EGGHEAD then she’s a “skank” or “witch” etc…You treat the guilty Patraeus as an innocent man while attacking the truly innocent Jill Kelley as a “skank.” You’re sick and embarrassing to real “completely equal opportunity” males. Do you have any derogatory names for your fantasy b u t t buddy General and CIA Director Patraeus?

Even GI Korea refers to the female Jill Kelly as “woman like this.” Like what GI Korea, what is she guilty of vs. your terrorist man Patraeus?

Trump’s song sardonic choice “Rockin’ in the Free World” by Neil Young was a snarky attack on George H. W. Bush’s removal from brutal realities ranging from school violence to a thinning of the ozone layer.

And Neil Young didn’t permit Trump to use his song because he’s a long time supporter of Bernie Sanders.

I never went to Trump, Hillary, or Jill Kelly.

And I only came on your mom’s face because I was afraid I might catch something if I got any closer…

…but since it was only ten bucks, I gave her a try.

“EGGHEAD, I’m through with you, you sick MOFO!!!”

Do you have such a low opinion of your mother that I am “sick”?

Also, technically, I am not a MOFO because I didn’t FO.

Does it make me a MOBLOWNO for blowing a wad on her nose?

I read over at some other website a commenter suggest English teachers were being disrespectful or whatever toward Koreans about this MERS thingy thing. Of course that person didn’t provide a link but here is one from that website about MERS in S. Korea. English teachers are now told to act as health professionals in S. Korea checking “for the kids” body temperatures in an unhealthy manner…who’d a thunk it?

OMG… Tbone is actually posting interesting information!

What’s next? Cats and dogs living together?

“English teachers are now told to act as health professionals in S. Korea checking “for the kids” body temperatures in an unhealthy manner”

1. You don’t have to be a “health professional” to take a kid’s temperature.

2. Thirty seconds of internet research indicates that an alcohol wipe on the thermometer between kids would go a long way toward checking in a “healthy manner”.

I realize this is epidemiology theater… but run with it.

Every pharmacy carries bottles of alcohol for a thousand won or so. There are all sorts of wipes available for cheap.

So… have one less beer on Friday night and use that money to buy some alcohol and buy some wipes.

ACT THE PART of a “health professional”… just as so many are acting the part of a “teacher”.

What will happen? The other employees, and perhaps mothers, will take note of this action… and go “hmmm” and maybe “ahhhh”.

Apart from building personal street cred as a human being and a multidiscipline professional, it also reminds non-Americans why they need to continue looking up to America.

…or one can sit around on the internet and whine that they are generally incapable of the most basic situational adaptation skills.

MERS is the *new danger* brought in from outside Korea. That is why it’s getting so much hysteria attention. It will never be the indigenous systemic problem like, say, tuberculous is. Here is how that went:

Public health officials made great strides in detecting and treating tuberculosis patients from the 1960s to the early 1990s, but the campaign against TB has lost its steam since 1995, says Cho Eun-hee, who oversees the TB program at the Korea Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.

“They let go of their grip [over tuberculosis] for nearly 15 years from 1995,” she adds.

Cho says more recently, as South Korea’s TB incidence rate rose well above other industrialized countries, it has became a matter of “national dignity,” and the nation’s leaders have again recognized the need to address the problem.

So, these things are usually elevated to crisis level when it attracts adverse international attention to Korea and become a matter of “national dignity,”

H5N1 and H7N9 are the “bird” flu.

H1N1 is the “swine” flu.

MERS is really the “camel” flu; but that sounds like a derogatory joke.

“Charlotte Shooter was a druggie and a fan of Progressive ideals like those expressed by Cecil Rhodes.”

You always seem to get confused about where certain people, beliefs, and actions are on the political spectrum Let me try to help.

I’m pretty sure that librul democrats don’t have confederate flags on the front of their cars. You deny that southern white pride is a right wing thing? If so, you deny reality – though I can’t really fault you as you were taught to do so from an early age.

“The Roof Family would like to extend their deepest sympathies and condolences to families of the victims in Wednesday night’s shooting at the Emanuel AME Church in Charleston. Words cannot express our shock, grief, and disbelief as to what happened that night. We are devastated and saddened by what occurred. We offer our prayers sympathy for all of those impacted by these events.
Our thoughts and prayers are with the families and friends of those killed this week. We have all been touched by the moving words from the victims’ families offering God’s forgiveness and love in the face of such horrible suffering.
Our hope and prayer is for peace and healing for the families of the victims, the Charleston community, and those touched by these events throughout the state of South Carolina and our nation.
As you can imagine, words are hard to find and we would ask that the media respect our family’s privacy at this time.”

Sounds like a fine Christian family. I lay high odds they are conservatives and vote the straight republican ticket. I’ll refrain from bloviating on the disingenuousness of publicly offering prayers for people murdered in a church. It’s down right silly.

I really don’t know if you are confused or lying. Are you lying to yourself or do you expect others to overlook your failure to observe the truth.

Additionally, there was no reason to mention Colt as the manufacturer of the .45 in question. It’s too late to advertise for them.

And I see lurker is back again. I wonder if he still lacks the courage to define the make believe “traditional America” he accused me of hating/destroying. Perhaps he knows the truth will destroy his argument.

Finally, if Jesus has forgiven Mr. Root, shouldn’t he be set free, after all, the right have defended others who have committed heinous crimes on the same grounds.

Additionally, I don’t think “progressives” (not sure, never met one and don’t care too much for them) use phrases like “take their country back.” Where have I heard that phrase most often repeated? Have you read the comments section on any site about this linked from Drudge? You should.

And apartheid in South Africa was a policy of a far right, Christian government. You sadly have a lack of understanding of the political spectrum. No wonder you are confused.

Maybe this will help:comment image

You seem to be more concerned about your mistaken ideas about whether an action or idea is “left or right,” rather than whether it is right or wrong. The are right and wrong, bad and good ideas on all sides of the spectrum. You need to break the chains of your one track mind.

ChickenHead

Leon, it is you who are confused.

Dylan Roof was a hard leftist progressive liberal African-American who killed those people by beating them to death with a hardback copy of the Communist Manifesto.

You can deny this… but you would be wrong.

I have recently learned that some Caucasians are actually African-American if they are simply identified as such. Further, if thugs can be gentle giants and 20+ year-olds can be teens, Colts can be leftist literature.

In fact, based on Obama’s revisionist reasoning where this type of event has never happened in other countries, it is unclear if anything happened at all in this situation.

The world has changed, Leon, and you are a dinosaur… a relic of the past… set in your ways… and set in your definitions… screaming at the clouds like a grumpy old man, “But a rose, by any other name, is still a rose!”

Get with times.

The narrative can be redifined at will.
