  1. Re:Too fucking bad.. on Palin's E-Mail Hacker Imprisoned Against Judge's Wishes · · Score: 1

    "Yes, it was Sarah Palin, and I can't stand her either."

    Is this the modern day equivalent of "I have black friends"?

    Is every post that would seem to benefit Palin to be prefixed by a disclaimer indicating that you too, hate Sara Palin?

    Is it the case that if you happen to be ambivalent about Palin or *gasp*, even be a supporter, that your statements, which normally everyone would agree with, suddenly become inoperative?

    Sounds like an 18th Century Medicine man: It will cure arthritis, enhance your sexual prowess, and calm the stomach.

    I have a theroy on Global Warming. It will get hotter. It will get colder. Repeat. It's irrfutable.

    They have their theory too: It will be hotter. It will be colder. There will be less rain. There will be more rain.

    It's nice to have a theroy to which you can attribute everyone outside "normal".

    And..Hurricanes? Seriously? You and the emperical data have some talking to do.

  4. Nothing New on Aussie City Braces For Worst Flood In 118 Years · · Score: 1

    If you've ever bought a home anywhere near water you will have seen references to a "100 year flood plain". Floods happen all the time and every 100 years or so on average you can epect one to be pretty damned big.

    To say this is due to AGW is just an example of people having shit for brains.

    Why all this concern about the Pirates well being?

    I would propose that only those with a valid picture ID can vote.

    Driver's License, Military ID, Student ID Card,etc.
