"Here’s an excerpt from a Washington Post article from 1998, referring to an incident that occurred during the 1988 presidential election:

Democratic presidential candidate Joseph R. Biden Jr., a U.S. senator from Delaware, was driven from the nomination battle after delivering, without attribution, passages from a speech by British Labor party leader Neil Kinnock. A barrage of subsidiary revelations by the press also contributed to Biden's withdrawal: a serious plagiarism incident involving Biden during his law school years; the senator's boastful exaggerations of his academic record at a New Hampshire campaign event; and the discovery of other quotations in Biden's speeches pilfered from past Democratic politicians (Sabato, 1998, para 1)"

Good. Inbetween your self-flagellation and condemnation for the "atrocities" as you call them that went on in that prison, please express some of your outrage.

I think you might be confusing me with someone else. I haven't self-flagellated in days.

Quote:

Fuck you, asshole. You fuckers who are so fucking outraged over the prison incidents need to get some fucking perspective.

Please spare a few minutes from your consant condemnation of everything the US does to express some outrage over this.

Acts like today's make me want to bomb Baghdad into rubble such that not a single structure remains, and to spread salt upon that land so that nothing may grow. To burn Fallujah to the ground. To find the fuckers that killed this poor kid so cruelly and make them wish they were only at Abu Grahib.

It makes the reports of American's behavior at Abu Grahib and elsewhere pale in comparison.

But it does not make me think that their behavior in that prison is any more acceptable today than it was yesterday.

If your idea of "perspective" dictates that I say so, if your reading comprehension skills are so rudimentary that you think that my posts constitute "consant condemnation of everything the US does," then SS is right -- perspective is the new polygamy, and those few slender strands tethering you to rationality have been cut. Fuck me? No. Fuck you.

Huh? Is Kerry going to give up all support for Israel, and let it return to being Palestine?

Who are president is matters only slight to Al Qaeda. The enemy is the US and its supposed world imperialism, support for judaism and concommitant desire to restrain islamic self-determination.

If Kerry would change that, I'm buying a Prius and stock in nuclear power cos.

I said I was throwing it out there for discussion, not firmly standing behind it. Hence the question marks.

No, it was "paigowism." Something about Jamaica, as I recall.

On the off-chance that you were serious, when Joe was running for president in 1988, one of his Democratic primary rivals released a videotape splicing together one of his speeches with one given earlier by Neil Kinnock (the then-leader of the British Labor Party). Virtually word for word -- "why am I the first member of my family to go to college?" etc. Other stuff may have followed, but the tape was the first blow.

End of Joe's ambition to become Leader of the Free World.

What about Kucinich?

The "artist's rendition" of me doesn't even have any nipples. My breasts do not look like two cantaloupes stuck on my chest without nipples like that dolly.

It was a joke. If I find a reasonable facsimile of mine on ratemyimplants.com or on playboy, etc., I will let you know and then you can check them out.

BTW - Are you gay?

I wasn't going to comment on the obvious genetic defect (no nipples).

No, I'm not gay. I'm a straight male, just like I've always been.

It's actually coming back to me now. I'm so old (33) that I'm suffering memory loss.

But,...but....but.....ME WANT!!

The shape of these look kind of like mine except that hers hang a bit lower than mine do. I am white so my nipples are pink. The slope on the top and the cleavage look like mine. About the same size, but it is hard to tell in pictures.

I would vote for McCain over GWB, but McCain is as close to a Dem as I get.

Find me a DEM that thinks my taxes are too high, and you've got a fighting chance.

Since birth and/or conception (depending on whether you are pro-life or not). This has already been dealt with on the FB. Get with the program.
