Crap Throwing Monkey

Yes, BiB's in front, in the white shirt. I'm the big guy in back whose face you can't see...not the big black guy that looks like he could bench press a gay-ass Fit...but the only pasty white guy in the picture that looks like he could even think of surviving ten seconds in the ring with the big black guy...

Poor horse has such a bad case of laminitis. Why isn't the government doing more to help?

Yep. And of all the things he could have vetoed...thanks for hindering scientific research...

""These operations are taking place in a war zone," Barbero said. "They involve passage through a strict blockade and are limited by the capacity of the ports and the degraded infrastructure in Lebanon." " And it doesn't help that Israel cratered the runways at the airport. I also liked the Katrina reference. What Katrina SHOULD have tought is is that it's a non-trivial matter to move tens of thousands of people over a shattered infrastructure. Instead, now that we have to once again move tens of thousands of people over a shattered infrastructure, the lesson people are taking from it is: "It's a trivial matter, the government is just lazy."

And you'd be embarrassed as sh-- to tell the story, too. "What happened to your face?" "Well...as these three Klan biker Nazis were beating up a ten year old, I felt compelled to...nah, not really. I was actually bitten by a twelve-pound dog..." Lhasas are actually bred to be guard dogs at Tibetan temples. Apparently, Tibetans are real pussies...

Oh. As for that...yeah, he thinks like any man picked in the street. And to tell the truth...in this case, I don't have much of a problem with it. Granted, I don't expect him to create a masterpiece of foreign policy at the G8...but with people like Blair and Merkel around to do the real, deep thinking, a rube sitting around expressing simplistic and obvious insight like "Hey, guys, we need to tell the Syrians to knock this sh-- off..." can actually provide a valuable service. Just so he's not doing any deep thinking on his own...

Only...not. Most violent dog breed I know of, BTW, is Lhasa Apso. My mother used to work in a plastic surgeon's office; they used to average one or two facial reconstructions a week from idiots who picked up a Lhasa, held it up to their face, and said "What a cute little puppy!"...just before the vicious little !@#$er bit their nose off. I've personally been attacked by three Lhasas, a cocker spaniel, and a rottweiler. Had the rottweiler not been brought up short by a 3/4" chain, it would have really messed me up...but the goddamned Lhasas, though they can't cause as much damage (unless you're a real !@#$tard and beg it to bite your nose off) are easily the most likely to attack.

No, everyone can drive across LA in ten minutes, just like Jack Bauer...

No...it pretty much is. The public face of "we're all polite, puritanical gentlemen who never, ever, ever use coarse language" is just that: the public face. Blair, Chirac, Putin...hell, even Merkel have said as bad or worse, I'm sure. You just never hear it, because no one ever leaves a hot mike sitting in front of them...

You'd think that the reported fact that the dog had already bitten the kid twice would have given someone an inkling, as well...

I have it on the best of authority that it's the sound guy's fault Bush always sounds like he's saying "nookyooler"....

Every dog mauling I know of - and I have personal experience with a few bad ones - involves an irresponsible owner. Not having the first clue on how to mate an aggressive breed safely is a pretty good example.

You mean, the rest of the world doesn't realize that the real business gets hashed out in sidebar conversations like that? The only person that should be embarrassed is whoever was responsible for the mic.

Unsurprising. The Israeli strikes looked like they were intended to isolate the southern third of the country...i.e. support ground troops entering Lebanon.

Except that, as I've been pointing out, the science in this case has been corrupted by the policy-making process and special interests. If it were just science - a study on the mating habits of garden snails, say, or something else no one cared about - then you'd most certainly have a point. But history (and current events) show that mixing politics and science results in bad science.

You misspelled "horror".

Jesus H. Christ, I've got one. This one. The other was brought out of retirement for a use requiring more dignity than can be achieved by a "Crap Throwing Monkey".

Largely because Ed needed to compare himself to someone...and he's completely delusional...

The difference being: someday the Knicks stand a chance of being decent again, and you'll be able to watch them. But you'll never read a taterhill post without tossing your cookies...

You're a Knicks fan? Jesus H. Christ, every time I think you can't become more of a joke...I can just picture you driving your flaming car to a Knicks game, dodging telephone pole attacks...

Again? This is, what, the fourth year in a row?

Little early to be drinking, isn't it?

And become informed? Surely you jest...

...that just happens to be between the two most potentially destructive... But I'm sure placing a US presence right at the borders of Iran and Syria had nothing to do with the invasion...just as it has nothing to do with Iran's and Syria's support of the insurgency. Nah...

Except that in our day and age, that's not how it is. Audiences think and act like they own a performer, and that rather than having the right to vote with their feet and avoid opinions, they have the right to dicate what they do and do not want to hear.
