Any man worth his salt would be the one to uproot and leave. Any man worth his salt would not put his children out in the cold no matter how much he despised his wife. Any man worth his salt can survive, start from scratch, and rebuild everything in the wake of a divorce. Any man who throws his kids out in the cold.... IS NOT A FUKKEN MAN.

[ame=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cf-fzVH6v_U&feature=player_embedded]YouTube - Daring to Question Al Gore[/ame] The answer is easy ... you don't. And we learn this lesson from none other than the grandfather of the global warming scam himself: Albert Gore. He was at an event recently where, for some very unusual reason, he agreed to take questions from reporters. But ... uh oh ... somebody dared to challenge Gore. So what's the logical solution? Turn off the mic! Turn off the mic before Gore starts sputtering and his eyes roll back into his head. What's the matter with you people?!?! You don't challenge the Great and Powerful Gore when it comes to global warming! Don't you realize he won the Nobel Peace Prize? Oh wait ... so did Obama. But never mind! Sometimes the prize actually means something! So pipe down with your questions and criticisms. Save them for anyone who opposes Gore, not for people who support him or the Great Gore himself. (sarcasmface) I'll wager that will be the last time he takes questions. Maybe not for another four years. What's really going on with Gore? OK ... think about this. Al Gore was Bill Clinton's dog-washer for eight years. He hardly distinguished as vice president. His tenure started out with him at Mt. Vernon looking at a bust of Thomas Jefferson and asking a tour guide "Who is this guy?" Things went downhill from there. Now Gore has found his place in the world. He got on the phony global warming scam and made it his own. He made a movie and got an Academy Award. The Norwegian Moonbats gave him the prize. Global warming is Al Gore's life. It's his entire reason to exist. Every ounce of power, pride, respect and credibility Gore has is tied up in his endeavors surrounding global warming ... or, as we call it since the Earth started to cool down ... climate change. When someone picks up a microphone and starts to challenge The Great and Powerful Gore on his home turf that person has to be shut down --- or turned off. Gore knows that the whole global warming bit is a fraud, but he cannot turn it loose. To abandon the global warming cause is to erase himself from history. He ain't going there.

From an email.... Last May 22 I was out at wunderground and noticed something really scary. ---- May 22, 2009 Rise: Set: Actual Time 5:50 AM EDT 8:20 PM EDT Civil Twilight 5:19 AM EDT 8:51 PM EDT Nautical Twilight 4:41 AM EDT 9:29 PM EDT Astronomical Twilight 3:59 AM EDT 10:11 PM EDT Moon 4:03 AM EDT 6:38 PM EDT Length Of Visible Light: 15h 31m Length of Day 14h 30m Tomorrow will be 1m 30s longer. ---- Tomorrow will be 1.5 minutes longer!?!??! Well, I quickly put together a computer model and discovered that before long, if this trend continued, days could be weeks long. I checked back the next day and sure enough the day was longer and the next day was forecast to be longer too. Oh my gosh. This was going to play heck with my flexible work schedule! Well, I tracked it for several weeks then saw my predictions weren't matching the outcome. Days were not becoming more than 24 hours long. I saw my mistake. Nights were getting shorter in the same amount! So I modified my model. And I discovered that before long there would be no night at all! This was terrible. All nocturnal life would be threatened. I've tracked the data since then and, while the days have not progressed at the rate I expected, I can only attribute this to random fluctuations in an extremely complex system. At its core, I know my model is sound. After all, I run it on a super computer. We must act NOW to prevent this catastrophe. I contend that this phenomenon of global spinning is a product of people walking more forcefully when they go westward than when they go eastward. I've commissioned a study and found that many houses have doors facing westward and people leave their houses energetically in the mornings and return more wilted in the evening. I propose, nay demand, a moratorium on building any houses with west facing doors. East is best. Or towards the equator, if east is really too hard, but you'll need a gov't waiver for that. Won't you please join this effort? For the children...

In case you are not aware, criticizing Barack Obama for winning the Nobel Peace prize makes you a terrorist. Seriously, folks. That comes from the DNC communications director Brad Woodhouse. He said, "The Republican Party has thrown in its lot with the terrorists - the Taliban and Hamas this morning - in criticizing the President for receiving the Nobel Peace prize ... Republicans cheered when America failed to land the Olympics and now they are criticizing the President of the United States for receiving the Nobel Peace prize - an award he did not seek but that is nonetheless an honor in which every American can take great pride - unless of course you are the Republican Party." There's more to his rant. Woodhouse says, "The 2009 version of the Republican Party has no boundaries, has no shame and has proved that they will put politics above patriotism at every turn. It's no wonder only 20 percent of Americans admit to being Republicans anymore - it's an embarrassing label to claim." By "the 2009 version of the Republican Party," I assume that he is referring to the Tea Party protesters. It is "that" type of Republican that has the Democrat boxers in a bunch. Now we get it, don't we? If you aren't fawning over our new Nobel Peace Prize winner you're in the same bed with Islamic goons who kill innocents in Israel by lobbing rockets their way, and you're supportive of the Taliban's brutal efforts in Afghanistan. That's where political discourse has brought us today. Hilary's state department also took the time to take a swipe at George W. Bush in the wake of Obama winning the Peace prize. Assistant Secretary PJ Crowley said, "Certainly from our standpoint, this gives us a sense of momentum -- when the United States has accolades tossed its way, rather than shoes." One thing for certain: If the Nobel Peace Prize wasn't all-but discredited when it was awarded to Yasser Arafat, this ought to do it.

One of the reasons that Olympia Snowe may have voted for the Baucus bill is because of what she calls its "low" price tag -- $829 billion over ten years. But let's take a look at the big picture. Did you know that $507 billion of that $829 billion will be covered by NEW federal taxes and fees? That's not according to some insurance industry reports, that is according to the Congressional Budget Office. CNSNews has a list of the new taxes and fees included in this Baucus bill: - $201 billion in new taxes on high-premium health care plans. - $83 billion in new taxes paid by workers who will receive less employer-sponsored coverage or lose that coverage altogether but will be compensated with higher wages or monetary benefits, which are taxable. - $23 billion in penalty fees paid by employers who do not comply with the federal insurance mandate. - $4 billion in penalty fees paid by individuals who don't have health insurance. - $16 billion in new income and Medicare payroll tax revenue due to changes in Medicare. - $180 billion in other tax revenues items calculated by the non-partisan Joint Committee on Taxation (JCT). According to the JCT, this $180 billion in new taxes would include: A new tax on prescription drug makers that would account for $22.2 billion over 10 years; a new tax on medical device manufacturers that would bring in $38.6 billion; and a new annual tax on insurance companies would net the government $60.4 billion. Are you starting to notice a trend here? More taxes. More government. More bureaucrats. The Democrats are creating bigger government with more strings attached to the purse. Elections have consequences.

History unlearned is history repeated. Ask the Soviets.

With the way my Dawgs have been performing, I am not looking forward to the Florida game in Jacksonville.

Tell me about it, because Steven Jackson is a great running back (if he can stay healthy). He just needs a good blocker that he works back to back with.

All the while choking back her true sentiments.

I want to be cremated, put in a douche, and ran through one last time. OOOOORAH!

I miss the good ol' days with Kurt Warner, Marshall Faulk, and Torry Holt.

Brett Favre turned the big 4 - 0 on Saturday. Did you know his middle name is Lorenzo?

I have a big, fat (Yet, amazingly agile and quick.), orange and white tomcat by the name of Bismarck (I call him Bizzy for short.).

Clearly the winner should have been Amadinijad for ending the violence in the streets of Tehran after his landslide election.

Maybe you should offer him a wah-burger and some french-cries.

If you look at the list of folks he beat out, it’s easy to see how Obama won this award. Does this mean that Obama will win the NL & AL Cy Young Awards as well as the MVP of the NFL. All this means that my Aunt Thelma’s 1st Place Prize for her Peach Cobbler now has more credibility and prestige than the Nobel prize.

Obama was in office for about 11 days at that time. I bet he achieved a lot of peace during that time. One pundit had it right, the ONLY reason he won was because he wasn't George W. Bush.

So ... you want to know what is going on here? I mean, come on! Barack Obama, president for what, nine months now? And he gets the Nobel Peace Prize? Hopefully you weren't all that surprised. Let's work through this thing. First - you have to come up with a definition of "peace." There's a Nobel Prize for physics; one for medicine too. In virtually every culture and every country in the world you define "physics" and "medicine" pretty much the same way. Not so for "peace." During the post World-War II the Soviet Union defined "peace' as "an absence of opposition to world Communism." As long as nobody was challenging their communist expansionism they felt we were all at peace. Let some country; The United States for instance, challenge their plans for world domination and ... no more peace. For me any definition of "peace" must have a component dedicated to freedom. You can, after all, live a life of peace in a jail cell, so long as there isn't someone there to stir things up. You're not free, but peace reigns. Now ... to Obama and the Peace Prize. I take you back again to that Pew Research poll conducted in Europe last year. Almost 60% of Europeans who responded to the poll wanted America to be less powerful in world affairs. That's not an uncommon sentiment - right up until the time some other country is threatening to kick some international tail. So ... along comes the Nobel committee. Can we reasonably assume that this committee reflects much of the European attitude? I mean, they're not exactly headquartered in Boise. They look at the nominations before them, and there's PrezBO! Now what has Obama done in the past nine or so months? Why, he's given the Euro-weenies just exactly what they wanted! Now we have a United States with a weaker presence in world affairs! Russia and China are striving for military domination. Obama backs off the American promise of a shield against Iran's missiles for Eastern Europe. Then we have the Arab states reportedly working to replace the dollar as the petroleum trading currency. Today there are suggestions that Obama is just going to declare that the Taliban are too entrenched in Afghanistan for us to possibly prevail there - a prelude to a cut and run. Does any of this sound like a projection of strength? Of course not. America is projecting feel-good, hopey-changey weakness at every turn. This was a message to Obama. Europe likes your style. You're giving us exactly what we wanted --- what we asked for. You're weakening the United States; for us, the key to peace. Oh ... and don't forget the slap in the face for George Bush. Bush is in office for eight years. He responds strongly to the attacks from terrorist Muslims. He frees Iraq from a ruthless dictator and his rapist sons. He projects American strength .. and Europe hates him for it. So ... the Nobel committee comes along and delivers a slapdown. For those who define peace as living free of threats to your natural right to be free ... this just isn't your day, is it? Well ... at least this will give Newsweek a reason to put Obama on the cover again.

They awarded the Nobel to Obama based on good intentions. A good intention is the mother of all fukk ups.

The Nobel Peace Prize has not meant one ounce of horsesh!t since it was awarded to Yasser Arafat.

... OR when those detained would be released with a slap on the wrist and bus fare.

Well of course you send a fag to the least hostile of places on Earth!

Refuse next to refuse is still garbage.

I don't like the concept of "hate crimes" at all. Remember the discussion in the "On Topic" forum? Equal rights, equal protection under the Constitution. If it's a crime, it's a crime. Punish the perpetrator. You punish these people for what they did ... not for what they were thinking when they did it.
