  1. when i worked in hospital, there was a music group made up of docs & a couple of respiratory therapists. the lead singer, an ER doc named jerry came up with the name “Jerry & the Temporary Pacemakers”.

    may only be funny to oldies music fans. & even then, not so much.

  2. Thought shiloh was thinking of himself as Gladys Knight, and also thinking John as one of his backup singers.

    Shiloh, Brock discredited himself. Has nothing to do with agreeing or not.

    Now, as to that column, you dismissed it immediately because you disagreed with it without even reading it. Says a lot about your lack of character, shi.

  3. Shi, I like Gerry & the Pacemakers better.

  4. Communism is not evil- it isn’t even a political belief. It is a form of economy- just like socialism and capitalism.

    People are evil, not political systems. That is why communism failed- it relies on the goodness of people to work. The government of the USSR was fascist, and that’s where the evil was ion the system.

  5. thanks for your incisive assessment of my character, altho i haven’t dismissed it, so you’re assuming facts not in evidence which, perhaps, says something about your
    character.

    why don’t you provide the link to what you’d like me to read & stop with the hysterical charges that make you look silly.

    how did Brock discredit himself? he seemed a True Believer when he was the Right’s attack dog, and seems equally sincere now.

    i know that question calls for an actual response, but i’m confident you can work in a character attack,or two,in the reply.

  6. i think there should be a contest. whoever calls me the most names gets a prize/ & whoever does it most viciously gets another.

    pcd & peejz are the permanent daily contestants, with guest players coming & going as the day goes on.

  7. 257 – I know you’d love the attention, but I don’t have the time or the energy.

  8. i just got all the attention i needed in your response, darlin’. i’d hope people would understand, ignoring me tends to make me want to go away.

  9. 259 – oh, go direct planes or something.:???:

  10. yeah – altho it’s a great weather day from Seattle to Bismark, ND to Denver. when nothing happens on my shift, it’s a success.

  11. the liberal mantra straight out of shiloh’s mouth:

    when nothing happens on my shift, it’s a success.

  12. 262 – i don’t know what this means, but at least you vented.

  13. it’s kind of like working in an Emergency Room. it’s not laziness not to want to have clients.

    but it’s seems convenient for you to think of it the other way, so by all means, enjoy.

    [damn ER people - liberals, no doubt]

    K, we can stop now.

  14. #219 – - Heya PCD, I just saw where you had sent me a story link. Just wanted to let you know I didn’t receive that so if you would like to resend I’d appreciate it :)

  15. Reilly, I sent it again. If you don’t get it this time, go to Drudge and follow the link refering to Progressive or was it Liberal columnist speaking the unthinkable.

    Sandyb, it wasn’t who you said it was. this is Sun Times Columnist, not Washington Post or Fox News.

  16. 265 – fine with me. :neutral:

  17. i didn’t mean all conversation K. just the implied insults.

  18. never stop being a kid. never stop feeling and seeing and being excited with great things like air and engines and sounds of sunlight within you.

    wear your little mask if you must to protect you from the world but if you let that kid disappear you are grown up and you are dead .

    nothing by chance

  19. 270 – can i smoke some too?

  20. 244- No I am not but thank you for asking:smile:

  21. 245- it is a term of endearment. Old people say it.

  22. Shiloh loves you; we all knew it.

  23. 274- do you think Bonnie does too:razz:

  24. don’t get me stirred up, theres smoke in the bubbling water over there.
    :lol:

  25. peejz there is no one else on this site who pays more attention to me than you.

    it doesn’t matter to some if they get positive or negative reenforcement. the key element is the reenforcement.

    so in a weird, perverse way, thank you, i guess.

    & talk about perverse, you still think i’m bonnie.
    that is so cute. gives you one more excuse to talk to me, i guess.

  26. 278- You are welcome Sybil:smile:

  27. 255,
    Very correct, ted. I was using John’s terms. Communism has resulted in evil things, though (let’s not get into a discussion of the word ‘evil’. I don’t have the time).

  28. Look here, you right-wing posters are all forgetting some facts:

    1. Liberal/Socialist/Democrats (LSDs) have a double standard. If our opponents step on a crack in a sidewalk, it means a major scandal. Whatever we do is a non-issue, because we mean well, are morally correct, and are the fighting for the minorities and the little guy.

    2. LSDs are by definition always right beacuse we mean well. If you disagree in any way whatsoever, you are a racist, sexist, homophobe, bigot, etc.

    3. Yes, we have massive, organized voter fraud in the big cities, organized and conducted by our co-conspirators, the Union bosses. Why, we probably deliverd somewhere around 15% of the vote fraudulently to Al Gore and John Kerry. We even pulled out all the stops with the Hanging chad and dimpled chad bullshit in Florida. But Bush trumped us with the US Supreme Ct. Damn… But I digress. Oh, yeah, my point was that we can do any fraud, any voter or fundraising crime (remember bagman Al Gore in the Buddhist Temple, or making fundraiser calls from his office on company time? Tee Hee!) and it’s okay. but if a Republican is even accused of an iregularity, then even just the accusation, the suspicion alone is a MAJOR scandal.

    4. We are indeed the lowest form of scum at the very bottom of the political pond. That is because we will stop at nothing, stoop as lolw as necessary, drop the bar even lower, do any damn thing, sell out anyone or anything, even screw over this nation in time of war to gain political advantage in our relentless pursuit of power. No matter if more U.S. soldiers are killed because the enemy is encouraged by our unbounded efforts to undermine Bush and the resolve of the American people. The point is that we want Bush discredited, out, once we are in power then we’ll figure out what to do. Maybe we’ll just put out heads back in the sand and ignore the problem again. You see, it really all is a matter of definition. You have a problem, you just redefine what a “problem” is, and presto! The issue goes away?

    See? So next time you hear an LSD talking, you now know what we are all about!
