about the Obama dismissing military leaders for not firing on US citizens. The report wasnt simply coming from a “left winger” it was coming from a retired military leader and nobel peace prize winner. and someone who has made a career out of not making outlandish political statements. And he is hearing it from military officials who have been “relieved” of their command. Figured yall would be all over that.

When it’s in the Air Force/Army/Navy or Defense Times I’ll believe it.

Other than that this is just more of right wing-nut bullshit.

Just like the bullshit concerning the feds buying up all available hollow points (Ref: NRA’s Institute for Legislative Action press release dated 17 August 2012)

All these right wing-nuts are tin-foil hat wearing dumbasses who look for a federal conspiracy under every rock because they probably haven’t gotten laid in the last 10 years.

Maybe we ought to put all these dumb-fucks in camps after all..They won’t be happy till we do anyway because that’s what these dickheads want!!!

I say give them what they want!!!

May I also suspect BS? Surely a retired military leader and Nobel Peace prize winner has a name?

Tomstickler:

You are right.

Everytime someone O-6 or above (sometimes even O-5’s) gets the boot, Air Force/Army/Navy or Military Times is all over it.

I call BS on this as well…….

But what do you expect from right wing-nuts???

They are not happy unless there is a conspiracy under every rock.

Douche-bags all!!!

Well, if either of you had bothered to click on the link, you would have seen a name. The source is actually a Nobel Peace Prize nominee, with an honest-to-goodness name, and he chose to leave his military source unnamed. Now, that doesn’t necessarily mean the report is accurate, but is a strong indication that you two won’t bother to do basic research, even when it is laid out before you, if it has anything to do with painting Barry in a bad light.

Like I said, when I read it in a reputable outlet or on StratFor.com and not some fucking link then I’ll believe this nonsense.

And for your information, I don’t give a Rat’s Ass about “Barry” but it sure as hell looks like you aluminum foil hat wearing cranks sure do.

Somebody’s got to start calling Bullshit on all the paranoid wackos who think there is some damn conspiracy under every rock or behind every tree.

Looks like I’m it but in all honesty I might as well bang my head against a wall because a lot of you cranks don’t live in the real world anyway and there is nothing anyone can do to convince you otherwise.

Do they teach reading comprehension in your “real world,” or has all that head banging you do compromised your cognitive skills?

Like I said, I don’t know if the claim is true, just like you don’t. I just pointed out the simple fact that a name was available to you if you bothered to do a tiny bit of looking. The link was there, so use it, then judge for yourself the veracity of the information.

Or, just stick your head in the sand. Doesn’t matter much to me, but when you spout off like you know something, when in reality you don’t, I’ll continue to call you on it. Just like your foggy memory on the intent behind the “quote” you mentioned from “Verbatum” (sic).

Oh, and as for Barry, unless you voted for Romney, you care, at least a little. But you keep telling yourself you don’t, little fellah. And have another crayon!

I’m not sure how believable it is myself, but considering this:

reason.com/blog/2013/02/04/someone-just-leaked-obamas-rules-for-ass

…it isn’t something that should be brushed off so quickly. Anonymous sources may not always have verifiable credibility, but there’s more than one piece of this puzzle lying around.

Todd is an ugly douche. And I’m surprised that you haven’t really reported on the allegations that three women made about his texting habits. (For those interested, google it). You only touched on one of them, and it was in defense of him.

Are you two buddies?

Well, Todd is his consulting attorney from my understanding…so it wouldn’t be a stretch to imagine they are buds.

In fairness to Sic, he tells everyone “Unfair. Inbalanced.”

Quid — I read that article. I was more interested in the backstory that led to that. And the allegations made by two other women.

Your political effigy pix were from a previous Rosenmontag parade in Mainz, Germany. They like to get a day’s head start over Mardi Gras.

The 175th edition starts at 11:11AM on 11 February 2013. I have before me a gold-foil chocolate coin from the 150th Jahre parade.

Helau!

Something funny is going on. I’ve refreshed, cleared my cached, cleared my internet history, but I still cannot get this site to update beyond this article — even though I read the updated articles earlier today.

Yet my iphone browswer is working just fine.

I bet Sparkle City thinks it’s a conspiracy from all those right wing-nuts and tin-foil hat wearing dumbasses that haven’t gotten laid in the last 10 years.

Sometimes, all one has to do to identify an idiot is listen to what they say or read what they write.

More trash from a conservative site. The law is in effect. Yes, 2014 is the full-on date but can any LOGICAL person not believe if insurance companies really saw the chance/need that they wouldn’t go ahead and be charging?????

The sky is not falling….the Act is far from perfect and changes will come to it as we go forward. But all this other horseshit is just that, horseshit.

Just FYI: You have really made Queen Jean mad. I mean, furious. She finally got John Monk and the rest at The State under control and pretty much has muzzled WLTX and WIS, then you come out and ruin her plans for re-alignment of her House of Cards. If you think she and Harpo have not talked about you several times this week, you are living in a dream world. The crap poor Dan S and Costa have to hear is really amazing. Stephanie just laughs it off.

The reason Mayor Halfacre and others are laughing on TV is they know they got over on the public and law enforcement yet again. Jokes on all you smug Rednexington citizens. You got a corrupt county and by the way that weeble Kent Collins you elected to county council is a fucking joke.
