Some days even my lucky rocketship underpants won't help.


Bring me my Broadsword and a clear understanding.
Get up to the roundhouse on the cliff-top standing.
Take women and children and bed them down.
Bless with a hard heart those that stand with me.
Bless the women and children who firm our hands.
Put our backs to the north wind.
Hold fast by the river.
Sweet memories to drive us on,
for the motherland.

Wow that is not what I thought it was from the title of the thread.  I thought you were posting an article about a comparison of Viagra, Cialis and Levitra.

Saw this yesterday and had the same reaction.  Gorebular Warming does strike again.

If there really was intelligent life on other planets, we'd be sending them foreign aid.

Conservatives see George Orwell's "1984" as a cautionary tale.  Progressives view it as a "how to" manual.

My wife often says to me, "You are evil and must be destroyed." She may be right.

Liberals believe one should never let reason, logic and facts get in the way of a good emotional argument.

See, that's not my reaction. If all the ice is leaving the Artic and going to the Antartic, we shouldn't be worried about global warming, we should be worried about the Earth tipping over!

If you unbalance all the weight like that, it will become unstable.

You wish to challenge my reasoning? Well, I have more than scientists on my side, I have CONGRESS!

I wish the Ring had never come to me. I wish none of this had happened.

So do all who live to see such times. But that is not for them to decide. All we have to decide is what to do with the time that is given to us. There are other forces at work in this world, Frodo, besides the will of evil. Bilbo was meant to find the Ring. In which case, you also were meant to have it. And that is an encouraging thought

I was all set to link to that video after reading your first paragraph, but you were ahead of me all the way.

My head hurts every time I watch that. I really REALLY have to admire that admiral for his ability to keep a straight face when confronted by such monumental idiocy.

That video is idiotic at its narrowest level, and maddening at its widest level.

Personally, I do not understand how a bunch of people demanding a bigger govt can call themselves anarchist.
I meet lots of folks like this, claim to be anarchist but really they're just liberals with pierced genitals. - gunsmith

Bet ol' "Capsize Guam" gets reelected.  See if he doesn't.  I had read of that testimony, but never had I seen it.  I wonder how Rumsfeld would have answered that concern?
