Big Ol' Smitty

I know.

Yowza. I heard a big friggin Kentucky political rumor from a pretty reliable source today. It was that Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell is gay and that he is in a marriage of political expediency with his wife, US Secretary of Labor Elaine Chao.

My sub actually wasn't busted at school. He was at a motel.

What'd he have on him? Reports didn't say. Here he is:

Haha. We had a sub busted for drugs last week. There were news crews at the school interviewing students & teachers. He subbed for me one day.

I'm thinking about deep frying one of those 44 oz Big Gulps of Dr. Pepper and just eating the whole damn thing. Cup and all.

I'm not sure I get this...the European brain is biggest.

Consider yourself reprimanded, VX.

You mean it sucks that it didn't actually do anything to him, right? Because that's what I was definitely thinking. No, but that's what one of my students said in class today when we were discussing this. He was reprimanded.

Is the tough shit file located in the "No Shit" Department?

haha...Jews

Also, Chuck Hagel has made noises about running 3rd party, I think.

Question. Who makes the best VP pick for each of the frontrunners? I'll throw some out. Clinton: Bill Richardson, Mark Warner, Wesley Clark, Barack Obama, Kathleen Sebelius Obama: Wesley Clark, Bill Richardson, Joe Biden Edwards: Barack Obama, Bill Richardson, Mark Warner, Kathleen Sebelius McCain: Rudy Guiliani, Mitt Romney, Mike Huckabee, Newt Gingrich Guiliani: John McCain, Mike Huckabee, Mitt Romney, Newt Gingrich Romney: McCain or Guiliani, Huckabee You can see that I have more trouble finding mates for the Rs.

This was a convenient day for this to happen because it tied into my lesson in World History class today which included the assassination by bombing of Tsar Alexander II of Russia. Obviously, though, it sucks that it happened.

You know, the good 'ol days.

The money for this is likely coming out of Iraq. Journalist Seymour Hersh http://www.crooksandliars.com/2007/02/25/s...tra-fundsoh-my/ Something like this... Also, National Intelligence Director John Negroponte recently resigned because of the secrecy & potentially illegality of administration policy in the Middle East. Yes, that John Negroponte had moral qualms about the current approach being taken in the Middle East.

Are you serious?

By that same token, couldn't you argue that liberal democracy "puts the individual above any god"?

The fascists weren't godless.

As Hagel pointed out himself on Russert's show, he has voted "with Bush" more than any other Senator.

For the Huckabee fanboys...this seems dumb. He is referring to the war islamiliberalcomuninonazifascism or whatever they're calling it these days. We could have afforded to lose WWII, apparently.

I just want to go on the record as lambasting all religion. Excepts Sikhs, they're cool.

Being able to outbox him wouldn't prove that you were more fit, or that your "fitness goal is superior" (whatever the hell that means). I could outbox any female Olympic gymnast--doesn't mean I'm a better athlete.

Why did Kenny start breaking stuff?
