Split ticket: Couple puts political differences aside
HAHAHAHAHAHA Modern US conservatives are the most gutless group of humans ever assembled under one tag. This is the bunch who will declare war on anything that startles them, and on some things just because Mr. President says it should startle them. New things are scary! Lead us, Mr. War Guy! Baaaaah!

Celebrities pay NMSU a visit for Obama rally
The McCain campaign has yet to deny the rumor that the back of John's head was replaced by half a gryphon egg, polished to a high shine. The American people deserve to know if either (a) they aborted a gryphon embryo/baby or (b) it's going to hatch one day and devour everyone in the room at some campaign event. Keep your eyes on the egg. (Tuesday Oct 7 | post #54)
Man gets $255,000 settlement from Las Cruces after he's arreste...
If we start arresting everybody who shouts obscenities in traffic, we're going to need a LOT more prisons. If we taxpayers can't train cops to use crisis management techniques (not to mention self-calming exercises) to keep from slamming regular citizens to the ground for not acting like sheep, we will continue to get slammed to the ground if we don't act like sheep.

Horses can make more horses. A bicycle engine (your legs) gets more powerful with use. Automobile engines have radiators, to get rid of excess heat. Heat is energy. Waste heat is inefficiency. "Progress " is debatable. People who have gone soft will always argue this strenuously against solutions that involve personal effort. Soft, flabby, lazy. Get a bike and ride it, if you be as hearty as your boastful posture tries to suggest you are. You'll be less cranky. (Thursday Sep 25 | post #68)
"Crosses' fight will go at least one more round (2:19 p.m.)
Get your fur down, hateful one. Whichever way you look at them, the crosses are symbols of harsh death in a hostile land. In one story, they're symbols of Apache fierceness. It's not about peace and love and my religion being better than others, it's about the glory of bloodshed. Let us reflect on the implied gore of the crosses and forgive our xian sisters and brothers their stubbornness. I at least identify with stubbornness. (Thursday Sep 25 | post #12)
Tangentially... I'm not all that in favor of more people cycling, because that gives me a head start on developing strength and endurance, and I want my butt to continue to look better than yours (speaking to those who require an automobile). Therefore, it's against my self-declared interest to pass along the following useful tidbits about cycling: There are more bike accidents on bike paths and at bike path/road crossings. Segregated bicycle facilities add to the perception that bikes aren't "real" traffic and don't belong on the road with "real" vehicles. A bicycle is a vehicle and statistically much safer to ride on the roads, which aren't just for cars (check the law, and your driver's manual) than on bike paths and bike lanes (cars turning right will smoosh you). On roads (as opposed to sidewalks and bike paths), bikes have maximum visibility. Following the traffic laws (stop lights, turn lanes, turn signals) makes our motion predictable to other drivers. Riding a bike gives you (a) ultracheap fuel (runs on ramen noodles, coffee, crackers...), (b) peace and fresh air, (c) head-turning buns of steel Just read up before you hit the road. Use lights at night and puncture-resistant tires all the time. Get a rear-view mirror and a speedometer. Learn the art of navigating around heavy traffic in ways that also shorten your trip. Get a trailer for groceries. Get to know the wind, the sky, and the endless ribbons of asphalt. Park your car! Boycott the pump! Forge yourself into the kind of person who can earn every mile "by the strength of our backs and the sweat of our brows." (Thursday Sep 25 | post #67)
The way to deal with the fuel crisis is to conserve, and the only way to do that is rationing, WWII style. Aye, and back then it was considered unpatriotic not to keep your tire pressure right. (Saturday Sep 20 | post #59)
Try this on for size, also: If people work outside because it brings them joy or to impress the neighbors or whatever, it's none of my business. For me, it brings great pain. Standing up for 10 minutes brings pain. I've been in continuous pain for almost 20 years and will avoid increasing it whenever possible. As for birthdays, that's bragging on my part. Another year I didn't die. There probably won't be another. Try to see past the end of your f@#king nose, boss. (Aug 24, 2008 | post #43)
Life is also too short to play lawyer ball, you condescending plick. You read between the lines and got it wrong. (Aug 24, 2008 | post #41)
Guilty as charged. I gets cranky if I sit at the computer too long. Sorry. I still believe sterilization is necessary, large scale. Three very close friends of mine have worked as euthanasia technicians at animal shelters. They have nightmares years later. There's overpopulation, and animal shelters can barely (if at all) keep up. (Aug 23, 2008 | post #18)
Paranoid much? How long have responsible pet owners been surgically sterilizing their pets? Now point to any area in the US with a shortage of dogs and cats. Point to an animal shelter that isn't overcrowded. Point to a community without a single stray. Sadly for you, the facts don't seem to live up to the words you pull out of your rectum.

Do you really think drugs are more of a problem than the education system, people diving into their televisions and only coming out to be condescending pr!cks in online forums, people who never sit down and read a book, and so on, and so on... You demonstrate again and again that you're nothing more than an argumentative doofus. What are you doing to raise the general level of intelligence in the world? You ignore reasonable arguments because they go against your preconceptions. How can people learn, when their minds work this way? You, dear moron, hold some of the responsibility for dumbing down the world. (Aug 23, 2008 | post #135)
Stand up on the pedals and raise h3ll on some bumpy single-track shortcut where no car can go? I'm on it! (Aug 23, 2008 | post #49)
