Ok. Here we go.

It is politically correct not to bash gays, so I will make it clear that we need to respect them on one hand, but I will still bash them as sinners on the other, and make a case based upon the religious viewpoints of some that it is ok to discriminate against an entire group of people because they are different even though we are supposed to have separation of church and state, and, well, I personally could give a shit, but, it is almost an election year, I need the votes, so fuck the fags and their silly equal rights. And who cares about federalism, I'm just a republican.

Do you understand it now?

I read it differently. I read it to say "I know I'm a sinner as well, but, geez, you know, my sins aren't anything like this, they're just the kind of manly things we Yalie Texans do, but here it grosses me out just talking about the sickos. These are the kinds of sins we're willing to throw the first stone on. Even if we may have our little sins these are great big flaming whoppers of sins that condemn them all to hell so we're just the instrument of God's wrath."

In an effort to change the topic...

WASHINGTON, July 30 —
“. . . they got a log in their own,” the president said.

Can someone please explain to me what that last bit means. I've read it a couple of times and I just don't get it.

What's not to get?

Sort of. But why is there a log in my eye?

I always understood the expression "don't take a speck out of someone's eye when you've got a log in your own" to be saying something along the lines of "if you've got your own big problems, don't interfere with the little problems of others" - a physician, heal thyself kind of thing. I don't think your president is using it in the appropriate context.

Jeez. I just read it to say "be polite to gay people when you're telling them they don't deserve equal rights."

Quelle surprise. I think I have the log thing down now and thanks to everyone for filling me in on the fact that I probably didn't get it because it was used wrong. And I forgot the link last time.

Log in my eye

Baryshnikov doesn't wear boxers.

Now, SITC may be worth watching. If he wears his tights.

July 30 — Mr. Big, Berger, and now ... Baryshnikov. Famed Russian ballet dancer Mikhail Baryshnikov, 55, will join HBO’s “Sex and the City” series as a love interest for Sarah Jessica Parker’s character, Carrie Bradshaw, The New York Times reported Wednesday. THE SERIES is on its final season, and Parker, 38 told the Times that the show had always planned for her character to end with a romance bigger than that with the character Mr. Big (played by Chris Noth), her major romance since 1998. He will play a European artist, though it has not been said if he will play a dancer.


He had better play a dancer, and he had better wear his tights.

Old man, nice ass

Ack. Beat to it, in a sense. I was going to rank posters in order of lameness, with E/O No.1, purely because she has the first 1000, closely followed by the remainder of you pushing 1000. E/O, you should be embarassed, ashamed, chastised and repentant, not proud.

Maybe we should take this to the timmy board, but what's the right spelling of "Geez" (how I spelled it) or "Jeez" (how you spelled it)? And does it matter whether used alone or put together with Louise?

Also to add that the phrase is biblical and basically means, don't attempt to fix the small imperfections of others when your own keep you from seeing the reality of both their imperfections and your own.

The thing that really irks me about his quote is that I'm not a sinner!:rofl:

That and the whole homophobic thing.

That I know. Been using one for a couple of weeks, and it ROCKS.

But supposedly MP3s bought from some sites won't transfer to the iPod successfully; I read this about buy.com.

Perhaps I'll take the plunge and risk 99 cents to test this out.

Here is a simple rule I think we can all agree on.

Boxers are hot for straight men
Hybrids are hot for gay men
Man panties are standard for your dad.

Since my hot gay male friends have long gotten more female attention than I have, I'm gonna keep wearing the hybrids.

Boxers are too dangly, and arguably decrease sensitivity.

I have always used Geez. Probably because of Gee, like in Gee that sucks. So Geez would naturally follow. But I see the natural progression to Jeez if you're using it as short for jesus(christ).

Actually, it's meant to convey the idea that is also embodied by the "don't throw stones when you live in a glass house" sort of thing - that we can start raging on others just as soon as we become perfect ourselves. So, his basic loony point aside, I think the homily was appropriate.

Sorta like "don't criticize Jenna's fake boobs when you should be dealing with your own crippling insecurity"?
