Mr. Kinsley Posted January 12, 2008 Share Posted January 12, 2008 What about the.... carpenter's union? Thanks folks, I'll be here all week! Speaking of going to burn... it just hit me looking at that picture. The irony that he was a carpenter and then was nailed to a cross of wood. Not trying to be funny, just seemed odd to me that it never occurred to me until now. Did everyone else already get that? Am I that lame? Hmm. Don't answer that. Link to post Share on other sites

Mr. Kinsley Posted January 14, 2008 Share Posted January 14, 2008 Never watched The Last Temptation of Christ? My New Testament said that laborer is a more accurate translation than carpenter. No, but I've always meant to get around to see it. I'm assuming that one of the Romans is taunting him with that same tidbit of irony. Just nice to know I'm on the right page.

Whitty Posted January 14, 2008 Share Posted January 14, 2008 I wrote this about a year or so ago, but I think the message still resonates (for the Republican candidates, at least)... **** Y'know, I've been thinking about what this country needs during these unsettled times. We need vision, resolve, and true leadership to spur democracy ever onward and to meet new challenges presented by a complex world. We need Some Rich White Guy to step forward and say, "Yes America, I am the alpha male figurehead who will best provide the illusion of a solitary crusader looking out for your best interests amongst a legion of potential enemies!" Who better than a rich guy to be our leader? Obviously, rich guys all have worked their way up from humble upbringings to achieve their wealth and successes. A rich guy knows exactly what it takes for not-so-rich people to pull themselves up by their bootstraps and make themselves rich. It would be like having a financial planner as President! Rich guys can empathize with the average American's pressing day-to-day concerns about capital-gains taxes, energy company subsidies, and rolling back those pesky environmental and labor laws. And rich guys can get rid of drugs once and for all in this country, seeing as how rich guys never use crack or weed or smack like those awful poor guys. Some Rich White Guy will make sure those drug-using people get the hard jail time they need to learn their lesson. Heck, those corporate tax loopholes that rich guys love so much would even let them create new jobs and hire some of those fully rehabilitated folks after their release. It's not like a rich guy would just hire his rich friend's son instead or anything. Who better than a white guy to be our leader? They discovered America, and toiled in the fields themselves to build a stable agricultural base that helped fuel our 19th century industrial boom. White guys are the backbone of American culture- they wrote all the good books, they invented rock and roll, and they are the best athletes around! Don't believe me? The DaVinci Code? White guy wrote it! Elvis? White guy! Who created basketball and ran the first four-minute mile? White guys! White Protestant guys even have God on their side! White Catholic guys will do in a pinch, but we don't all need to feel guilty about eating a steak dinner on a Friday night, though. White Jewish guys... well, let's just take things slowly, shall we? And who better than a guy to be our leader? Potent, intimidating genitalia. Delusions of being a cowboy despite being born in 20th century New England. Getting to wear cool suits and ties. Guys have it goin' on! Elect Some Woman and you never know when she's gonna be ovulating during a G-8 summit or lactating all over the Vice-President. Nope, it's guys who know how to keep their cool and never resort to hysterical over-reactions. So are you gonna demand a bold new mandate in 2008? Are you prepared to step up to the plate, slather your car and yard with red, white, and blue paraphernalia and declare your support for Some Rich White Guy! I think America is ready!

mountain bed Posted January 14, 2008 Share Posted January 14, 2008 I truly hope that Romney gets the shit kicked out of him tomorrow. He really needs to win or his goose will be close to being cooked. Link to post Share on other sites
Mr. Kinsley Posted January 15, 2008 Share Posted January 15, 2008 Go FOX NEWS!!! The scary thing is that, it isn't JUST Fox. CNN is just as bad* on the conservative end with Glenn Beck and the "independent" end with Lou Dobbs, and of course the insanely liberal cheerleader Wolf Blitzer. Why can't they just tell me the news and let me make up my own mind? Objectivity doesn't get you ratings I guess. *OK, maybe not "just as bad." That's stretching a bit. Fox is just totally off the charts partisan-wise. But since I'm too lazy to rewrite my whole post I'll just put this disclaimer down here. Link to post Share on other sites
Analogman Posted January 15, 2008 Share Posted January 15, 2008 By ERRIN HAINES, Associated Press Writer Sun Jan 13, 7:41 PM ET ATLANTA - Michelle Obama said Sunday her husband is the person America needs in the White House right now and criticized anyone who would dismiss his campaign as being built on illusion or fairy tale.ADVERTISEMENT She said Barack Obama is the right candidate "not because of the color of his skin, but because of the quality and consistency of his character" and that postponing his bid for the White House was not an option. "I know about the sense of doubt and fear about what the future holds, that keeps us hoping and waiting for a turn that will never come," she said. "There are a lot of doubters and naysayers out there talking about, 'I'm not sure America is ready for a black president.'" But she declared that "we are more ready and prepared than we can ever know." Greeted by a standing ovation when she took the stage at the opening of the Trumpet Awards Link to post Share on other sites

Nope... the other outlets are just as bad, and were doing this shit way before FOX was even born... FOX just picked the other side because of the money involved... You get half the population watching your station, your ratings go up and so does your pricing for Ads. Link to post Share on other sites
Mr. Kinsley Posted January 15, 2008 Share Posted January 15, 2008 Wait.......Obama's black? Nicely played. But as for Mrs. Obama's claim of people saying we aren't ready for a black president... who's saying that? Maybe I don't watch enough Fox News, but I haven't heard anyone saying that Clinton or Obama shouldn't be pres because of their gender or ethnicity. They say they aren't experienced enough or aren't electable or whatever, but not gender/race. Sure, there's plenty of it going on in coffee shops and such in the south I'm sure, but not in the press. As of this posting Obama's my guy, but I don't really like the 'race card' being played here. Seems like it will only backfire in the end. Link to post Share on other sites
