...has your neighborhood gone to seed at all.
http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,...est=latestnews
I don't think there are any safe neighbourhoods left.:(
Arapahoe? Is that Indian country? Maybe he was coming home from the pub and took a short cut up an arrow alley.
I have my coat on.:)
Ah, good - then you haven't misplaced it.
Clocker will have to fill in the particulars, I think.
And yes, Arapahoe is Indian (American specie).
We named several rivers, streets, locales and even a few (most, actually) states after them.
We did this after almost wiping them out, of course.
I've been sick as a dog and this is the first I've heard of this.
In fact, this is the first time I've been online in almost three days.
Yikes, what the hell else have I missed?
OhmahGod.
Are you stricken with the porcine affliction or something else.
Liberal Guilt perhaps?Quote:

OMG!, "Latest developments"!
Prithytell, what part of the conservative sky is falling today?
Not the conservative sky, but Obama's.
His administration is claiming to have saved and/or created jobs across the U.S. in state districts that don't even exist.
I know these things don't bother you, so please don't try to take the piss out of those of us who find this utterly hilarious.
This is much funnier than his "I've been to all 57 states" comment.
Oh yeah, heard about that.
Didn't know how life as I know it could possibly go on...briefly considered seppuku.
By all means, laugh away.
The longer your mouth is open, the more chance you'll inhale a tea bag.
Then there's this:

Sounds like a project for Disney, eh?

Because it proves that Obama was born in Kenya or something, I guess.
We already know that "fair and balanced" is beyond Fox's capabilities, is it really too much to ask for interesting or even newsworthy?
Man, it really takes so little to keep you right-wingers afroth these days.
No wonder Palin is such a hit with your side.
I'm well aware you don't like Foxnews or Ms. Palin, but it seems clear she's got your side all...afroth, to borrow your term.
I wonder why.
No, actually I don't.
That's kinda funny, too.
Palin is comedy gold and even libs appreciate comic relief.Quote:

Oh please, "scared"?
She's Paris Hilton without the self-awareness, famous for being famous.
Yes indeed.
Scared.
Hardly as frightened as you must be.
Palin/Beck/Limbaugh...these are the people who represent your politics?
Your party has been hijacked by cartoons and you think I'm scared?
Yes.Quote:

Delineate if you can, what exactly you think we have to be scared of.
BTW, saw this article in the Post today which explains some of the wonky Federal Stimulus reports that you were so pleased to ascribe to the ineptitude- or even better, some grand conspiracy- of the Obama admin.
Why don't you and all your tea party buds rally over at Deb Hefftner's sign shop and give her what for?
My personal chuckle comes from seeing these so called fiscal conservatives screaming blue in the face about how much they oppose the stimulus while handing over those publisher clearing house sized stimulus checks and claiming credit for them.

This disconnect is hardly new, in fact, Palin's entire story about Alaskan "independence" and fiscal responsibility is sheer myth.Quote:

Basically, without the largess of the other states, Alaska couldn't exist.
This handout, coupled with oil royalties- which Alaska didn't share with the other states but distributed to it's inhabitants- made Alaska semi-solvent for the past few decades.
Unfortunately, the oil royalties are drying up and without their yearly bonus checks, Alaskans are faced with an increasingly lopsided budget.
Probably one reason that Palin hightailed it out of her job- and the entire state she claims to love so much- whoever has to deal with Alaska's money shortfall is going to have to make some very unpopular choices that will expose the myth of the independent Alaska so beloved of conservatives.
It's always bad when the emperor is shown to have no clothes...in Alaska it's doubly bad because you'll freeze your tail off.
Palin scares you because you don't know if she plays ball behind the scenes like the current crop of republicans does, and you can't take the chance she won't.Quote:

As to the expanation offered up by The Denver Post, I ascribe no more credibility to it than you do to Foxnews.
It's the age we live in, you see...I mean, even our U.K. contingent doesn't waste time trying to defend Auntie Beeb anymore, ffs.
So, we're at an impasse.
I'm at somewhat of a loss since I don't recall my "elitist non-Ivy league candidate" bias having ever been put forth- much less "discussed"- and I prefer to apply Occam's Razor to the Denver Post story rather than believe some incredibly involved conspiracy theory as you so obviously do.
Your explanation about my fear of Palin is equally unhinged, since I don't even know what "playing ball behind the scenes like the current crop of republicans" is supposed to mean, it's hard to respond.
So basically, I'm an elitist and you're crazy.
What else is new?
I believe you are on record hereabout as preferring your candidate's education to Palin's, owing to it's obvious "superiority" as a qualifying element.Quote:

Better quality newsprint?
Rocky Mountain water?
The fact that it actually interviewed a real person who explained that she had entered a ficticious district number just to complete the webform?
Not as sexy as the grassy knoll theory I'm sure you've formulated but somewhat easier to believe.
BTW, you are wrong about me being on record- here or anywhere else- about Obama's education being superior to Palin's due to it's origin.
Obama IS smarter than Palin but that's more a factor of her functional retardation than her place of education.
GWB certainly proved that an Ivy League diploma does not equate to intelligence.
You defended Ivy League education as superior to that available elsewhere.Quote:

I don't blame you for "extending my logic", I do blame you for making shit up.
I just spent an hour running down the thread in question, then clicked off the page by mistake.
Anyway-
In an effort to denigrate Sarah Palin, you made a comment to the effect that an "Ivy League education" was preferable to one earned from "Wasilla Community College" but followed this by saying a good education could be had from any number of places, "including the public library".
By my estimation, that makes you right and me wrong.
My most humble apologies, sir.
Accepted.
The apology was overkill...an hour spent perusing my comments was punishment enough.
I too have found that the words on Palin's resume don't match reality.Quote:
