See how smoothly things go if we just let the government handle them. Ah bureaucracy. Saying the word makes me feel all warm and cozy.

But isn't Chicago a pretty liberal city like L.A. and Detroit?

There should be a law against stupid people. They're the real danger with or without a gun AND they're everywhere.

"We are under attack," he told members. "The worldview of God and Jesus and the Holy Spirit is under attack."

Maybe but I don't think it's so much God, Jesus and the Holy Spirit" that's under attack. It's the absurdity of organized religion and the intolerance of people with differing beliefs and thoughts. It's the "our belief is correct and everyone else is going to hell" mentality that is under attack.

It's like the kid who says he's taking his ball and going home. Well, more and more people are starting to say take your damned ball and go the hell home then.

Besides, any religious "organization" that elects members like a president sounds too political to me. Just look at Catholicism. What a massive corrupt disaster that is.

By the way, I am by no means an atheist. I think those people need to mind their own business too.

@2dollar:

And it might come in handy where he's going.

Sounds like mom was trying a little of that "tough love". Good for her and hopefully he'll straighten up before it's really too late.

It happens, Marc. We're just poking fun........

Great! Academic "proress" scores!

....Meanwhile, over at ABH.........

It goes to show that just because you have money doesn't mean you have class.....or sense.

I ordered a sandwich from a very popular "Italian" place in town once and after taking a couple of bites noticed a huge area of mold on the bun. I mean, it was so large that I can't believe whoever made the sandwich didn't see it.

Incident 2: I ordered grilled fish (Mahi or tuna. Don't remember.) at another very popular place downtown and it was so burnt it looked like a hockey puck. Just for giggles before sending it back I tried to cut it. It was quite literally inedible. I told the manager that I couldn't believe the cook would put it on a plate much less the waitress serve it.

Incident 3: I got what I now humorously call a dirt salad from a place in Atlanta once. It had so much dirt / sand in it that there's no way anybody bothered to wash the lettuce.

Tebow. Shmebow. I just can't wait for football season.

Ole peanut head's got a rotten nut in that hull somewhere.

Don't know why someone would let ANYONE they don't know in their house these days. Take your vacuum and suck it.

[quote][b]Chombito[/b] - Just a question: Why are so many good ol' boys (particularly in law enforcement) here in the South known as "Buddy"?

"Buddy" is better than "Pendejo" like you, I suppose. I do love tamales though.

At least no gun shots were fired. They did it the old fashioned way and everybody went home, eventually.

Could I get some feta with that and onion rings instead of fries. Oh, and a Miller High Life.

Stupid meth heads will try anything. Look out. They're everywhere.

@2dollar: Holy Crap! (Pun intended) How did I miss that one?! I almost did the same from laughing so hard.

@grove600: A Joe Biden moment, Grove. I had no idea. Thanks.

@matt1141a: Seriously? I had no idea. One of those Joe Biden moments. If that's true, I apologize.

I've often wondered when seeing articles like this, how long must a person be dead before it's considered acceptable for people to excavate and poke and prod him or her? And in this case, they're going to put the body on display. It's all very interesting and I've got no problem with it but it just seems a little weird.

Who's the short guy at the bottom left hand corner of the photo?

@THX1138: "Sheep". Exactly.

Ummmm......

The way the other half lives is fascinating and entertaining, indeed.
