BREAKING NEWS BLOG -- Michael Jackson and Farrah Die
MsGrant, I'm going to...yet again...post about how stupid you are. You just said that my position is to refute anything you say. Well, why in THIS VERY THREAD, when you talked about how Bush spoke, and how if Obama spoke that way, people would've been all over that. I agreed with you and said that was a good analogy. I'm only against you when you say stupid stuff (which seems to be, more and more lately). You knock The Cosby Show, yet fail to tell us why (still). You knocked the Reader in one post. I forgot what you said. And you knocked our food critic, for not liking a restaurant that EVERYONE SEEMS TO DISLIKE. Even though I think you're an idiot...I think you're a great writer and sometimes you have interesting takes on things. And if you post something I agree with, I'll say so. You're the one, though, that has problems admitting "Yeah...now that I think about it...there was nothing wrong with the Cosby Show," or "Yeah, SPliff does seem to have his head up his azz sometimes." Instead, you knock refried gringo. I just glanced at a little bit of this thread from days and days ago, and you call him "sexist". Yet, he was defending women in my thread about how women don't make less than men in the work place. Not to mention, nothing he said in this thread has anything to do with different sexes (unless the jury is still out on Michael Jackson, as he did seem to turn himself into a freaky looking white lady late in life).— July 10, 2009 3:38 p.m.
Things Left on Your Car
Mitch Hedberg was a comedic genius. I think he sort of used that same line with a lollipop. He said, "Here's a delicious hard candy. But when you're done with it, you have trash to deal with." The worst is when one of those things is on your windshield, and you think for half a second, that you got a ticket. I heard Andy Rooney once say something, in regards to getting a cell phone bill, and having it stuffed with 4 different advertisements and pieces of junk mail. When he sends the bill back, with his check...he encloses all those insert/ads, so that THEY have to throw it away. I liked that idea.— July 10, 2009 3:10 p.m.

I'm off to play racquetball and grab some lunch. But to the idiots like SDaniels and MsGrant, that feel Spliff has things to say...just look at one thing he said in his above rant. He doesn't think gays should have the right to be married. He doesn't think that is "normal". Which means, you are "supporting" a guy, that didn't "support" the right for EVERYONE to get married, have benefits, and all that good stuff. You guys wonder why Prop 8 went the way it did...well, Spliff and his peeps, look like they may be the reason. I voted for Obama. I also voted against Prop 8, as I feel EVERYONE should have the right to marry the person they love...whether that person is the opposite sex or the same sex, as they are. So, try channeling your anger in the proper direction.— July 10, 2009 10:19 a.m.

NEVERMIND rickey. I just went on their website and read what you wrote. I don't care to visit that topic over here, as it's been talked about ad naseum. And the type of question you posed won't get a satisfying answer. Trust me.— July 10, 2009 9:13 a.m.
BREAKING NEWS BLOG -- Michael Jackson and Farrah Die
Okay, rickey...the suspense is killing me. What did you comment on and what was the column about? I would've loved to have asked WHY in a sporting event she was so fond of, she didn't record it on Tivo at home. And not answer any cell phone calls or turn to SportsCenter. I know when there's a boxing match I have to watch like that, I'm careful not to look at anything that would give it away. And my stepbrother often records Charger games. If I call him, he either won't answer the cell phone, or the first words out of his mouth are "don't tell me anything about the football games." Yet, this writer needed to make a scene about a tennis match she was watching in a gym, from a week earlier.— July 10, 2009 9:06 a.m.
Stupid Cops and the Stupid People That Hate Cops
A few things. First, sfmc, thanks for your service to this country. The military puts their lives on the line for our freedoms, and I always hate when I have to argue with my liberal friends, who were so against the "Bush war" that they hate the military, too. I was against the Bush administration and that war, but the military still has to go and fight and put their lives on the line (even when it's during peace time, they'll be the ones called). So, thank you. Second, I totally apologize. I didn't realize the incident "just" happened. I just assumed it happened years, or months ago. And to me, if something horrible happened, and the person didn't do anything about it...I question if it really was that horrible, or they have exaggerated it over time. That's all. I didn't mean to sound so offensive in my questioning of it all. I wish you the best of luck in your fight. If this cop was as bad as you claim, I hope he/she gets fired. And you get a nice cash settlement.— July 10, 2009 9:02 a.m.
Spelling Errors and Phrases
Ponzi: Not sure what you mean. There are probably a lot of words that are hard to pronounce without a letter, but that doesn't make it a "vowel" sound. Rickey: (in my best Johnny Carson voice) I did not know that. Russl: You need to buy a vowel. The letter "e" would fit nicely between the second "s" and the "l" of your name. But, "cwm" is a word I'm not familiar with. And after many years of Scrabble, that would've been a good one to know (those are all letters with multiple points)— July 10, 2009 8:56 a.m.
BREAKING NEWS BLOG -- Michael Jackson and Farrah Die
...and MsGrant, regarding the "don't flatter yourself, I am hardly the main poster," comment...I just scrolled up this thread. You have 404 comments on this website. And how many do the other posters in this thread have? rickey: 198 spliff: 204 andrea: 40 refried: 401 (he got close, but you're still beating him) mindy: 66 mike1: 79 reggie: 2 mncvilla: 1 karen: 1 Only Magic at 452 and SDaniels at 488, have more posts than you. So me saying you "lead the pack" wasn't far off, and hardly flattering myself.— July 10, 2009 12:45 a.m.

Hey dope, read post #80 of yours above. You state: "You dare to speak up and risk being shut down by the racist, sexist opinions of three or four people who think they know how others should think, and believe that..." That's knocking "three or four" people that post on my blogs. And, I see you've yet to comment on why the Cosby Show was such a horrible piece of entertainment, or whatever your logic is.— July 9, 2009 9:35 p.m.
Stupid Cops and the Stupid People That Hate Cops
Good point, rickey. If someone is making claims like this about the police...I think this just fuels the fire of the idiots in the world (ie Spliff, SD, etc). So, why not tell us EXACTLY what happened, that you found to be a "mistreatment" of your daughter. And, why if it is bad, you did nothing about it? (ie reporting it to different authorities at a later date). Otherwise, the story doesn't pass the ol' smell test.— July 9, 2009 3:41 p.m.
