KIMBER's Comments (365)

“It's disgusting that someone would make a sign like that, but he lets us know what sort of IQ he's working with right there on the sign, so I guess he's to be pitied more than despised.”

“We wouldn't even have a problem like Sarah if it wasn't for a slobbering media pumping her up. Please let her slide into the oblivion she deserves & stop turning her into some sort of player that she is not. Media is the biggest problem we have in our political sphere - they take a non-story, or a completely irrelevant aspect of a story, and skew, distort and highlight it to the expense of the real meat of the story for their own ratings gain, totally undermining our democratic process in the bargain. Every minute that is given to some moronic non-story like balloon boy or Tiger's exploits is robbing us of time that should be committed to real information. Things that deserve a 30 second mention are covered in 24 hour rotation while things we need to see covered intelligently and in depth are given the 30 second sound bite treatment. People cannot make intelligent decisions when they're being fed drivel by the media that is responsible for informing them in a free society. Rather than being the backbone of our democracy, our supposedly "free" media is doing irreparable harm to it.”

“There's nothing sexy, alluring, cute or seductive about anybody's dazzling vertical smile. People of the world, puleeze stop flashing crack - it's just gross.”

“Righto - Obama does not need to score points with Limbaugh - I do like the idea of visiting him, sans photogs, and inviting him to play golf.
Shows which one of them is indeed the bigger person, and if not well accepted, then maybe it would at least push Limbaugh over the edge. A win win.”

“Ditto^2.”

“I'm shocked. I'm absolutely shocked.”

“I think it's the other way around too. I think Emmanuel has way too much sway, and I think Obama would make better decisions without him.
Why is everybody who holds this position a viper?”

“We have got to get rid of this pandering cretin. Dump Emmanuel needs to go on our list of things to do.”

“Actually, MoveOn does have the right to "go ballistic" on issues it supports - that's what grassroots organizations do - they get their supporters to take action to address things that need addressing in the most effective way possible, or as you call it, "going ballistic." We're facing a relentless right wing in this country that will stop at no dirty deed in order to obstruct and destroy. Too many Democrats either don't know how to fight it or they are too busy making nice in some sort of misguided belief that it is possible to negotiate with vipers.
MoveOn knows better, and if "going ballistic" is what it takes then so be it. When you're up against a relentless opposition that wants to destroy you then you better have the good sense to do everything in your power to get rid of them.”

“It is time to take the gloves off with Obama and Reid - let them know that the people who worked the hardest to put them in the positions they are in are the ones most infuriated by this thing now.
What we are experiencing - and they are letting it happen - is minority control of our future. Joe Lieberman and a small handful of right wing Democrats are keeping us hostage to the insurance mafia.
I've contacted both Obama and Reid to say that this is absolutely unacceptable, that they are kicking us all in the teeth by kowtowing to these traitors, and that if they think this is giving us any reason to show up and do for them in 2012 what we did for them in 2008 they're nuts.
They have tools at their disposal to make this happen - reconciliation, and the Rethugs are not the only ones who can come up with a "nuclear option." They have to fear us more than they fear a handful of right-wing crybabies. If they can't find the guts to get as brutal and relentless as the enemy then we have to scare them into it.”

“Uh, thanks, I think...”

“Saying Xenu over and over again? Matt, I'm sure that would be very effective - I'm not even a Scientologist and it would annoy the dickens out of me.”

“This list is NOT complete. It leaves out the best cupcakes in Southern California - Yummy Cupcakes in Burbank and Santa Monica. Absolutely delicious - the vegan cupcake is to die for. Look for the bright pink painted curtains out front.”

“Am I English - in ancestry, absolutely, but I am thoroughly American - my family has been here since the colonies, 100 years BEFORE the revolution, a revolution that several of them fought in because they weren't receiving proper representation as ENGLISHMEN - that's how they became AMERICAN. I know my American history quite well, thank you, as my family has participated in about 300 years of it, just as they participated in several centuries of English history prior to that.
Respecting your own culture does not mean taking arrogant pride in being an ignorant brute. A self-respecting, intelligent person with confidence in their own strength and some understanding of cultures outside their own neighborhood has no problem bowing or curtsying as a matter of respect and protocol; an ignorant fool who's insecure about themselves and their culture considers it as some sort of slight to their shaky, misguided notions of strength and the resulting need to feel themselves "superior." A person who can show respect by bowing when it's culturally appropriate comes across as a much more confident and strong person than one who feels threatened by doing so. It's obvious you are pathologically insecure and extremely undereducated - stop insulting our closest allies and embarrassing yourself and your fellow Americans with your idiocy.”

“If you can't say something nice, you can always say something nasty and humorous.”

“My cat yacked up a lovable little fuzzball like her this morning.”

“You are precisely the sort of American that the rest of us work so hard at convincing the rest of the world we aren't. You're an embarrassment with your pride in your ignorance. Get a passport, for crying out loud - or on second thought, don't.”

“If this is supposed to be like the same plan the Congress and Senate has, which apparently it is, this could be a positive development in breaking this stalemate, since I remember this being something that was being held up in the beginning as them having access to a better option that we in the general public didn't have access to. It also seemed as if they were making a major mess of the public option. We will eventually get to single payer health care in this country, but it's going to be incremental (just like it was in Canada, as a Canadian pointed out to me) - no matter what we get this fight is going to continue.”

“The right wingers think that we want this for other people but that we wouldn't want to have it ourselves, and that's the card that they played today. They don't realize many of us are hanging in there in dead end jobs while running our own business on the side, unable to devote our full time and entrepreneurial energy into growing our businesses because we're stuck working a 40 hour week for someone else just to get health care. Our so-called health care system is nothing but a means of keeping the majority of us in indentured servitude because we couldn't begin to afford to pay for health care on our own. In this economy, there are more of us than ever before realizing the need to bring in extra income with our own businesses, to not be wholly reliant upon an employer, realizing we could be very successful at it if we could devote our full time to our own business instead of having to split our time with the "benefits" job.
The suppression of entrepreneurial energy is what I find puzzling about this obstructionism - I thought the right wingers were all about business, so why are they working so hard to put a damper on small business people? I'm not only fighting for the public option, I'm demanding that it be accessible to anyone who wants into it - forget about a "tradition" of employer-based health care - it's nothing but an anti-entrepreneurial trap.”

“If money was the underlying reason for the marriage, she wouldn't have even cared if he chased some trollop, would she? She would get the money even easier if he dumped her.”

“Neither is cheating and home wrecking - I'd take a swing at him too.”

“I find it very troubling that she went back to calling herself Mike Penner. What was that about? Had to be some extreme internal dissonance there. Most transsexuals do not assume their previous identity again. I live in Los Angeles and remember the column mentioned in the article where she revealed her intention to become Christine Daniels it was one of the only articles I've ever read in the sports pages. She later said that she expected to receive extremely negative responses to her admission, but that she received 500 supportive letters (one of them was mine) and only 2 negative ones.”

“Never could understand why anybody would go anywhere near a store on that day. Now that I can do my shopping online, I don't go near stores - no more crowds, clogged up parking lots, noise, screaming kids, long lines.”

“Those are the butt-ugliest things I've ever seen in my life. To quote my uncle Homer, "I wouldn't wear those to a fist fight."”

“Aleister Growley.”
