Your Say
Good news for the big government republicans who are perfectly fine with the government using drones to kill Americans, Eric Holder says using drones against American on U.S. soil is legal.
The big government, less freedom republicans can once again REJOICE at their support of drones killing Americans.
Republicans... they thirst for death!

Bob Hopes house is an example of a gross waste of money and a blight on the landscape. Just because you can is never a good enough reason to...

.45 has totally outed himself. The next sentence, written in white letters on a white background, always goes something like this. "He should never have been allowed to build this, this mis-spent wealth should have been confiscated by the government and used for the public good."
A person who believes in the Blessings of Liberty would say: "Hmm, that Bob Hope, what a wild and crazy dude, with an ... interesting, ... eclectic, ... and intensely personal ... esthetic vision. Diversity and freedom are just fabulous, to the enrichment of us all."

Okay, you know those Terminix commercials? I have a mental image of something like those, except with four-foot-tall vaginas dentata.

(And the scariest thing of all is...I come up with stuff like this cold sober.)

Never mind all that.
Robert fuckin Crumb!, and long may he wave. Crumb is a great example of how we all got through the '60s. Even though his politics were (are) loony, the guy is a genius, and makes you laugh about shit you couldn't possibly explain.
I've never regretted being born in the '40s. There was something going on when we were young that just doesn't translate. Was it a great time? Mostly it was a tough time, and the good part was that I was a lot younger. But I wouldn't have missed it for anything, and I truly feel sorry for kids who got born then (and later.)
