I caught the press conference of the release of the American hikers that have been held in Iran for two years. One of the first things Shane Bauer said was “…we sincerely hope for the freedom of other political prisoners and other unjustly imprisoned people in America and Iran.”
Nice. America has spent millions of dollars trying to win your freedom and the first thing you do is bring out your Rachel Corrie claptrap and take a big dump on us. Turns out Shane works for queen of the anti-American “progressive” media – Amy Goodman and Democracy Now:

And yet you continue to do it.
Arguing over what to call Establishment Republicans is as silly as arguing over what term to using when describing Social Security. Its a needless distraction that does not solve the problem. Two guys are sitting at a campfire and a snake slithers in, they both start arguing about what kind of snake it is. Then the snake bites one of… Read more »
I find those people more to my liking than the self appointed leaders who dislike the descriptors.

Well, it could be worse.
It could have been chocolate.
All this cabbage eating has me feeling a bit amorous.
Now if the Cowboys just lose tomorrow.
Wahoo! My man Tony Stewart is 2-0 in the Chase and in the championship points lead! Life is good. Texans lose but held their own.
Either that or people are just tired of self-appointed leaders overusing silly terms to the point where they lose all meaning.
RINO!!!
Angela Merkel in her rainwear, if that’s what it is, as pictured on Drudge tonight, looks like she might belong to that Heaven’s Gate comet/suicide cult from 1997. Very unstateswoman-like.

I recognized the original story line, and that you pasted in in — but it took time to spot the places where you could insert your perverted humor.:)

Good point, stoned is as stoned does. Do they do drugs in Muslim countries, or are the poppies grown strictly for export cash crop?
Why do you think he invented the skillet first? The debbil gave us the microwave to lure
usyou into temptation.Oh, and the cow ate the cabbage slowly, thoughtfully, and at night while the farmer was still asleep.
If The Good Lord hadn’ta intended me to make grilled cheese sammiches in the microwave oven he wouldn’ta invented it in the first place. Sheesh. I gotta tell you people how the cow ate the cabbage on everything.

My favorite recent comment:

In bobo420’s world she would have been stoned while creating such humor.

I plagiarized from the Word of God itself (the online version of the New American Bible that we use in our church).
I don’t know if the Muslims will have time to stone me, before the lightning hits.
So when did you find time to write your apocalyptic cheese sammich story? Very cute.
In any Muslim society, you would be stoned for such humor.
I was in seminar all weekend. When I came home I whacked the weeds and grass around my garden (the only green spot in the yard, since I water my veggies), then I sprayed the poison ivy popping up in the area. Then I watered my side garden and few other potted plants and tackled my dirt pile. I moved… Read more »

Boy howdee, as they said in West Texas when I was growing up, and attending Baptist churches, but long before the days of the microwave oven, not to mention the microwave grilled cheese sammich, this is quite a parable you lay before us. 🙂
Man o’ war? Pfffftttttt.
I could understand if it were one of these.
Didn’t she try this like 40 years ago?

Destruction of Sodom and Gomorrah.* 1The two angels reached Sodom in the evening, as Lot was sitting at the gate of Sodom. When Lot saw them, he got up to greet them; and bowing down with his face to the ground, 2he said, “Please, my lords,* come aside into your servant’s house for the night, and bathe your feet; you… Read more »
Wagonburner – I predict Missouri will be the next newest member of the SEC. How long before the Sooners (and their sidekicks) bail, and where do they go? Here’s what I think would work – an SEC with four “divisions”: Oklahoma, Oklahoma State, Missouri, Texas A&M LSU, Ole Miss, Miss. State, Arkansas Tennessee, Kentucky, Vanderbilt, South Carolina Florida, Georgia, Alabama,… Read more »

Texans lost to the Saints.
More info on the hate America hikers: The moral-equivalent rhetoric may have worked when Bauer was a peace and conflict studies major at the University of California, Berkeley, but one country ginned up phony espionage charges to use him and his companions as political pawns — that’s Iran — and the other country doesn’t imprison critics because of what they… Read more »
Poor wittle Tom Bwady lost a game against the Bills.
Elitist cheese sammich grillers.
…and he will strike down upon thee with great vengeance and furious anger those who attempt to grill a cheese sammich in a microwave.
Neither.
It’s an abomination unto the Lord.
Elitists. Yup. I still don’t think Perry is one of ’em. He’s not a good choice but he’s not a Bushie. They’ve been bad-mouthing him since 2005. He’s a media darling because he says and does controversial things. Gives ’em “man bites dog” headlines.
#114, 116
Ok let’s call them Elitists then. I always kinda liked that term anyway.
Now I must go, very important things to do.
oh no, here we go. The
grilledmicrowaved cheese sammich, establishment or not?Yeah, and it turns out I’m ticked off after all, but not because of anyone here. The first thing I cooked in the new microwave (reheated lasagna) burned my mouth. Gotta adapt to the higher wattage I guess. Grilled cheese sammiches will surely present new and exciting challenges.
Heh. Goaded him into making an appearance.
So what about us… hmmm? Is we us or is we them?
🙂
It’s a fine line, I know.
Sorry about that, Blog Monkey. I shall comply.
Go back to the 2008 primary. Conventional wisdom being forwarded here says the “establishment” gave us McCain. At this point in the campaign he was broke and his staff was deserting him en masse. Fred Thompson was surging. Huckabee was making noise. Before long it was clear that Thompson was running a feckless campaign and didn’t have his heart in… Read more »

Blog Monkey sez “Let’s not.”
Nobody said they always win Again, they are one faction in the party, as they always have been. And at least in my lifetime they don’t have a very good track record of forwarding their candidate to the nomination or presidency. Calling them an “establishment” implies they control things. Clearly they don’t. Calling them an “establishment” also implies a master/puppet… Read more »
Texans and NASCAR, so much on my plate. Izz it noon yet?
Nobody said they always win, but they are there and try to control the switches. Nothing illegal or unethical about it, just what it is. What we find unseemly is the back channeled, stealth ways they go about their agenda. Tea Partiers and what we call Conservatives are out in the open in what we want, them, not so much.… Read more »
The idea any set of politicians in Washington or anywhere else is the “establishment” of the party simply flies in the face of reality. The most important Republican of the last half-century was Ronald Reagan, a man who could not be said to be part of an establishment. Some might argue, as Laura Ingraham did on the same show that… Read more »
They are one faction in the Republican party. They don’t own the party. Goldwater wasn’t one of them. Reagan wasn’t one of them. Sometimes they get their candidate nominated. Often times they don’t. Less frequently they get him elected.
