Huge Unidentified Organic Blob Floating Around Alaska

Z80xxc! writes "The Anchorage Daily News reports that a 15 mile-long blob of unknown, 'gooey,' probably organic material is floating past communities on Alaska's North Slope. The US Coast Guard sent pollution experts to investigate, who determined that it was not an oil spill or other type of pollution, but were unable to determine what it is. A sample is currently being analyzed by experts in Anchorage, while the blob is following the current northwards."

    It's not even remotely surprising that people decided to start with the Palin jokes. It's just sad and pathetic that the overwhelming majority of you that made the 'jokes' weren't funny in the slightest, made 'retard' comments, or placenta jokes. For 'nerds'/'geeks', a lot of you are just unoriginal and uninspired.

    Is she really, or does she just get mentioned by everyone, everywhere pointlessly, such as in a thread discussing something weird in the ocean?

    You might be *part* of the problem, sir.

    Shh! They might discover my secret love affair for the woman, and my desire to make mad, sweet love to her and move to a small, deserted, tropical island with her to raise all of our autistic children! If this gets out, I might have to settle for the Octo-Mom instead! ;-)

    The AC is right.

    Every time I get into a discussion with a conservative about blogs, policy, history and such I end up having to defend the fucking idiots at the DailyKOS. It makes me feel dirty and frankly disgusted. They can't stick to policy, they have to degenerate into Jr. High name calling like you did motherfucker.

    You and the idiots at the DailKOS make it near impossible to have a reasonable discussion about facts, policy and what really needs to happen.

    So shut the fuck about Palin and any other person on the other side because you are just making it harder for everyone on our side to be taken seriously.

    Fuck, get a fucking clue, asshole. Yes, that's Jr. High, but I think it's at the level you and the other idiot would understand.
