Rob's House

I had a gf in college who wanted to be a cop until she learned from play wrestling with me how effortlessly a man could render her completely helpless. She sells insurance now.

From what I'm seeing on FB it looks like this "protest" backfired big time. White people who normally lay down for this type of stuff are calling bull ****, and black & white liberals who cried a river for Trayvon and/or disagree with the GJ's decision (based on their thorough examination of the evidence) are calling out how ridiculous, destructive, and counterproductive it is. Only the truly hardcore Gatorboy types are defending any of this.

It'd have to be a really extreme set of circumstances for me to turn my child over to the police for anything. I'd definitely handle this one in house. If I'm that kid I don't think I ever forgive dad for that one.

It's been a while since I listened to Hannity, but as I recall he did a pretty good show...and then repeated that 30 minute show for hours and hours and weeks and weeks.

But Chris Kelsay never gave me a stiffy, so !@#$ him.

This says it all

Me neither. It makes it all the more gratifying when someone accuses me of parroting Fox News.

This isn't really related, but it seemed as good a place as any to post it.

For those who have followed the story more closely than I, what is the "protester" response to this: http://www.thesmokinggun.com/buster/darren-wilson/witnesss-said-brown-charged-wilson-897043

Look to the streets and you'll see easily led puppets doing as they were told.

Exactly. When I was his age getting in a scuffle was no big deal. If no one ended up in the hospital or in jail it was a good night. I don't know what it was like for those who spent Friday night at choir practice.

This reminds me of that Shakespeare play.

What's this country coming to when a black man can't even attack a cop without having to worry about getting shot?

No charges

People die of a lot of things. I better never catch you making light of anything anyone ever died of.

Mine's moral outrage. There's a subtle difference.

I think we can all agree that RG3 sucks.

I know you didn't mean to take it there and I was going to let it go before Kelly chimed in. Saying "The Washington football team" is necessarily a passive aggressive shot at the name and a declaration of moral superiority on the issue. I realize that maybe you didn't mean it that way, but that's what it is. Nothing personal against you.

I responded to you, but I clearly directed my ire at the announcers rather than you. As to the political nature, the discussion was about RG3 when Captain Hindsight chimed in with "The Washington football team" which was his way of inserting his politics about the team name into a discussion about the team's QB. It's not just about you saying it. It's about people in general saying it. You say to keep it in PPP, but you're the one who brought it up. If you want to drop it that's fine. We'll drop it.

Ha! Nice. I'm thinking this WaPo article had the opposite effect from what that jerk off was going for.

Sometimes I like to be a dick to people that piss me off, and self-righteous d-bags on some bull **** moral crusade piss me off quite a bit. If someone doesn't like the term, or is uncomfortable saying it, or doesn't want to for whatever reason, that's fine with me. To each his own. But to go the extra mile to actively announce in passing that they're refraining is a different story and worthy of ridicule. When was the last time anyone referred to "The Buffalo football team" or "The Dallas football team"? Never. If not referring to team name it's just Buffalo or Dallas. Same with Washington - unless, of course, you're trying to communicate something else. It's more annoying and worthy of ridicule because it's irrelevant to the point being discussed. It would be like if you were discussing the architecture of the WH and some dickhead kept calling it the Emperor's house to make sure everyone knows he thinks Obama fancies himself Emperor. If you were discussing politics it would be one thing, but when you slide your politics into a completely unrelated discussion it's another.

I wouldn't call Gene Chandler one of my favorite male vocalists because I only know one of his songs, but that guy can hit some really tough high notes effortlessly. Ever tried singing along to Duke of Earl?

The comment section under that article is great. One great point made: notice how it's crickets from the left on this. They''ve got no defense and are just quietly hoping this will all blow over by 2016.

I saw it, knew exactly what it meant, and agreed whole heartedly. I thought about chiming in myself but didn't because I knew I'd have been far more insulting. If you don't get it that speaks poorly for you. All those announcers are a bunch of PC kitties. If the name "Redskins" makes their vaginas hurt, they can abstain from saying it without reminding the rest of us that they have no dick.

Looks like his parents are preparing for a lawsuit. They ought to sue themselves for raising their son to be a complete moron. Do you have to be above a certain age limit to qualify for a Darwin award?
