Big Ol' Smitty

Obama isn't really cleaning up. He's doing okay, but it looks like this thing is gonna be pretty much a draw on the D side, barring a big win in CA for one or the other.

I'm a skinny fuck and I get the footlongs and eat them in one sitting.

Allow me to be liberal for a minute. I have been working in a predominantly minority, low income public high school for the past several months now. The school has all sorts of problems, tests scores not least among them, but one of the things that has really bothered me is the food that they are serving to these kids. Most of the kids in the school are on free or reduced lunch. These kids are eating absolute shit every day. Fries covered with cheese and chili with a slice of Papa John's pizza on the side is not an acceptable lunch for a growing teenager. The government should be ashamed of what it is doing to the health of the nation's youth. We are setting these kids up for an unhealthy life of diabetes, hypertension, high cholesterol, obesity, and heart problems. I am currently interviewing for a job at a somewhat elite private high school also and I toured the building the other day. Their cafeteria, of course, had a lovely salad bar and a nice assortment of fresh fruits. http://www.motherjones.com/news/feature/20.../ma_207_01.html We are basing what we feed to our children on fucking LOBBYING. I found this quote particularly humorous, as many of the kids at my school eat pizza and fries everyday. Here is what I would do about this. Feel free to challenge my proposals or make your own. 1. Ban soda and snack machines from public schools. Only healthy snacks, juices, or sports drinks. 2. The schools will no longer be a dumping ground for surplus beef and cheese. If we want all of our students to do well and succeed academically (No Child Left Behind, baby!), then they need proper nutrition. 3. Ban trans fats and high fructose corn syrup from the school cafeteria. 4. No more lazy-ass football coach gym teachers. Gym class should be mandatory and vigorous.

I stand by what I wrote.

Why's that, guy? (thanks for thinking I'm smart to begin with, though)

Marvin, you still are totally misrepresenting what Clinton said. He is arguing that addressing global warming would be a boon to the economy. Your "interpretation" of his quote was way off the mark, and that's why jsyk, zgangsta, and Edwin (a fucking master of the English language) poked fun at you. You didn't get it AT ALL. Read this again: And then your interpretation: I don't even want to get into the substance of the global warming (or SO CALLED global warming, amirite?) issue with you, because, frankly, it would be pointless. I just wanted to point out your inability to interpret a simple passage of text.

Meat from sick and lame cows going to school children. (video) Washington Post story here.

TheManErnieRowe's is amazingly perceptive!

"Both sides"? If you consider the two sides to be: 1. scientists 2. oil companies & right wing radio hosts

Thank you, Edwin et al. Just making sure I wasn't going crazy. Marvin, see here.

Marvin, you took the Clinton quote out of context and you're dumb.

No, it was pretty funny earlier.

Yeah, but I've gotta work in the morning (unless we have a snow day...it's looking bad out). I'll just read a recap.

I'm not gonna lie...I turned off the debate to watch LOST. It was getting kinda boring.

Did anyone else see Ed Helms in the audience? Was I just imagining?

That was really trite and banal for Choken to use hackneyed so often.

Czech, did you ban Choken One because he talked about yo daddy?

Those kids probably chose to support Paul after studying his position on monetary policy and noninterventionism. Sheesh, politicians need to stop using kids as political cover. Yes, Democrats too.

This is the SECOND TIME someone's toolishness has made me sympathetic to Matt Young: 1. When Cena's Writer flipped out on him in the poster tournament. 2. Now Dandy writes fucking War & Peace three posts up and seems to be putting way too much effort and emotion into this. I have this little kid in one of my classes named that everyone picks on, and he kind of deserves it because he acts like a tool sometimes and makes shit up (kids call him K-Fed, because they say he likes Kevin Federline's music). Even though Joe sort of makes himself into a target for other kids, I still feel sorry for him. The other day, he told me some kid was threatening to beat him up after my class so I kind of walked behind him to his science class to make sure no one messed with him. Matt Young is the Joe of this message board.

I am kind of starting to agree with Ron Paul on the "American Empire" thing. I think it could be wise to reduce military spending and scale back our worldwide military presence. No mainstream candidate will ever say this, though. Will Czech or Narcoleptic Jumper or some other member of the Ron Paul Rebel Alliance ® please explain why we need the gold standard to me? I'm not being condescending, I really want to know. I just don't see the runaway inflation NJ is referring to. Wait a sec, didn't you vote for Bush?

Speak for yourself. Their temporary modships turned my world upside down. I don't know what to believe anymore.

B. Hussein Obama will see your Chuck Norris and raise you this:

Or you could go over to the Pit and whine about getting picked on. Right, Jingster?
