And you're absolutely correct! But he gets the added "T" mentioning in the dicktionary just for accuracy's sake.

The Democratic National Convention fundraiser for Gore-Lieberman in Radio City Music Hall on September 14, 2000.

I never really watch the Conventions in their entirety so I don't know if she had or had not said it, but it appears she really had.

hey, the reptiles can't help it if they're cold and slimy and scaly and lacking certain basic senses due to small. primitive brains--but Repuglikans can, they just don't want to. Please don't demean the reptiles because of their similarities to Repuglikans!

It is about time we close off all avenues of escape for anything within the bounds of what Ms. Roberts described so that rePugliTiles don't get to slime their way out any longer. They are too mischievous to allow any more room.

magazine that she was reading Ayn Rand. I thought the book title was familiar so I got it out from the library and started to read. And I thought what? These are really stupid books with stupid characters. Then I found out there was a whole political movement behind them. And that people followed them like they were a bible. I gave Julia the benefit of the doubt that she was just doing some political research. Glad to read tonight that her heart is indeed in the right place.

we actually educate ourselves. I've also read Das Kapital by Karl Marx. I've also read the Bible. They all have something to offer the curious mind, but none of them embody the "whole truth" for everyone.

Reading is good.

It's no wonder they all believe what they do. They never set eye or ear outside of the"Bubble ". Most of them are bombarded day in, day out by Faux, talk radio, and Drudgey like blogs.

No, there's nothing wrong with being 46. I loved a beautiful, smart lady of 60.

The point is, that Hollywood, which once dropped actresses after they turned 30, has now learned that older women can be just incredibly sexy.

They are awful. But anymore I tend to blame more the people who mindlessly vote for them when voting against them would make their life better.
