Whose side is Kim on?

.She’s a chip off the ol’ block—her mom’s, that is

I dearly hope Leo says “No” to the whole thing. And since this isn’t Mary Worthless, he might.

Dads never win during the wedding planning stage. I thought everyone knew that. We’ve known that since the original “Father of the Bride”…

“Stanley – from now on, don’t pick up the phone.”

I lived in Oregon…does that make me 1/32 Redwood?

I DO remember that “conversation”!

leo already said “yes”, you dorks.

Alex is THE complete mess. Leo’s mom is right, she looks like a terrier. She has a head full of scrambled eggs, and she can drive from any seat in the car. Leo has no chance at a reasonable life hogtied to that catastrophe.

I beg to differ: Limbaugh is NOT more accurate than Fox News. And studies consistently show that people who get their news from either of them are the LEAST informed about the news—less informed than people who have no news source at all. Google that for yourself.

I found Rush Limbaugh actually to be quite impressive the first time I listened to him. Over time, I realized that he’s literate, eloquent, and nothing if not authoritative — none of which, singly or in combination, equates with being factually accurate or logically correct. An interesting blowhard, worth listening to if (and only if) you don’t listen to him alone, or take him too seriously.

1/32 redwood? I didn’t realize there were even tree-huggers five generations ago…

The vast majority of Limbaugh are aging white males: 54% are 45 and older (28% are 55+) and 91% are Caucasian.Old, male, pale and stale. Scared that they’re increasing irrelevant.And because they refuse to update their obsolete ideology – they are.I say this as a 50-year-old white male. My ‘peers’ need to ‘upgrade’ their outdated mindset. The world is changing.

Just read something that Mr. Limbaugh would not appreciate:

Happy Cinco de Mayo everyone across the vast diverse USA.English, Irish, Welsh, Scott, Dutch, German, Cherokee, and French Norman and who knows what else. A great American mutt.

Alex should wear her Grandmother’s dress.

Does ANYone here at all really know what CincoDeMayo REALLY celebrates?? jeez….One batle..after that, losses..

“Your studies are in error based on false data. They only show the contrary, that FOX News and conservative talk radio people are the most informed on the truth.”A person is “informed” if they examine the evidence from many sources – not just the ones they agree with. They examine the credibility and motives of the sources. Form conclusions in the light of what is known of economics, history, geopolitics, science, human nature and common sense. And then – most importantly – one must be prepared to revise, update or even abandon one’s conclusions the moment new evidence appears.Instead you seem to insist on one conclusion and one source, and angrily reject evidence to the contrary.

I have read many of your posts. I have asked about your time in the service of the nation we both love, and it is something for which I respect and appreciate you.In all the comments you have posted you have not shown an iota of humour. You have shown unbridled anger and hatred. You try to pass off name calling as intelligent debate. You repeat the same line about corrupt party… corrupt party… Over and over again.

Alex and Kim vs Mike. Poor guy doesn’t stand a chance.

. . . wow . . .

“Have you ever heard of anyone from the TEA Party wanting to get any program off of the air?”

Well there were a few library books (“Catcher in the Rye” comes to mind), and of course, there’s NPR that the right has done everything they can to get off the air.

Take out another mortgage dad…you’re going to need it…

Let’s talk about the simple truth. We had a president who was appointed by the Supreme Court after losing the popular vote. In fact, every president that has lost the popular vote but won the election since the Civil War has been a Republican.

This President started a war based on lies. His vice-president outed a covert espionage agent. How is Obama a usurper? He won the popular vote by 6 points. Calling him by his step-father’s name says more about you than it does about Obama. How much say or control does a 6 year-old have over how he is registered at school? You talk about the Clinton impeachment. The comments you make about Obama and the Clinton impeachment reflects an attitude on part of the Republicans that White House is their property, and if a member another party is elected, he is illegitimate.The Clinton investigation started out about Whitewater. What exactly did the Clintons do wrong there?You bring up Chappaquiddick. Around the same time this country went through the greatest constitutional crisis since the Civil War, and it had nothing to do with a car accident. But more sadly than any of the above, you still haven’t said anything funny.

Phase Two: COMPLETE!

‘The ATF began Project Gunrunner as a pilot project in Laredo, Texas, in 2005 and expanded it as a national initiative in 2006. Project Gunrunner is also part of the Department of Justice’s broader Southwest Border Initiative, which seeks to reduce cross-border drug and firearms trafficking and the high level of violence associated with these activities on both sides of the border.’ Wikipedia (on the origins of Fast and Furious under Obama’s “early presidency”).I wonder if any of the trolls will ever be able to pass the Turing test…
