“If you have a two year old grandchild who is already tending toward fat, that is his or her parents' fault--they control EVERY dietary input into the child. In addition to working on self-confidence, why don't you work on instilling good dietary habits now, while the child is still young?”

“"O" never wanted to go into Iraq in the first place--that already gives him the edge in judgment over McCain

Secondly, the "war" in Iraq has been over since 2003. What is going on right now is an OCCUPATION, so quit calling it a war.”

“Everything Apatow does is garbage? Let me guess...yo­ur idea of a great comedy is 90 minutes of Will Ferrell ad-libbing or Adam Sandler making lots of noise.

And who said Joss Whedon was any good in the first place? He hasn't done anything besides TV and a cult sci-fi flick...ho­w can he be "overrated" if nobody's heard of him?”

LiberalBuzz replied on Jun 18, 2008 at 00:46:13

“HEY just because some people consider Firefly and Serenity "cult" doesn't make them any less great.

Buffy was a huge money maker and had a pretty good following.

Whedon is ten times better than a lot of directors/writers, he's just in a different class than most. He had a terrific sense of humor as well.

Love his stuff and I generally like Apatows stuff too except Knocked up which had exactly one funny line in it.

Sandler and Ferrell both SUCK!

My favorite bit on TV is when Stewie from Family Guy travels cross country, finds Will Ferrell's house, gets a ladder, climbs up, rings the doorbell and when Will answer knocks him to the ground screaming "YOU'RE NOT FUNNY!".

THAT was comedy genius.”

Being a Mother is the Ultimate Artist: Alexis Weidig

Commented May 10, 2008 at 21:02:38 in Living

“Ah, motherhood as art! How exciting and avant-garde! Don't let those naysayers get you down--you know, the ones who say that "women have been having children for literally millions of years" and "your offspring are no more special than the other 6 billion people on Earth". Such comments from uneducated brutes should serve as inspiration to create more great art to Enlighten them!

The work of Alexis Weidig is truly exceptional! Oh how I enjoy her composition; her use of objects that could be construed by the weak-minded as "piles of junk" and "yard debris". The way she nails her creations to the wall, or stacks her garbage on old, stained chairs, is simply amazing. She truly is a modern-day Michelangelo, and I would say that her peacock feathers and hibiscus branch stapled to the wall *clearly* compares favorably to the Statue of David.”

“"Only 50% of Clinton supporters say they will vote for Obama in the general, versus 26% who say they will vote for McCain. "

Yet more proof that Hillary Clinton's campaign is all about getting her elected regardless of the side effects. It is evident from her egomaniacal, Rove-like strategies that she doesn't care if she destroys the Democratic party in the process. Congrats Hillary--when this is over and your campaign has finally succumbed to the sniper fire, you can down a shot of Crown as the Republicans use your talking points. Now those are tactics you can Xerox.”

Could the Republicans Pick the Democratic Nominee? -- The Untold Story of How the GOP Rigged Florida and Michigan

Commented Apr 01, 2008 at 01:48:37 in Politics

“Uh, Michigan and Florida were "punished" way back in Fall 2007. You know, back when Hillary was supposed to be a shoe-in for the nomination. So the fact that Florida and Michigan chose to make their votes irrelevant by capriciously flouting the rules has nothing to do with Dean wanting or not wanting Obama to win. By the way, your hero Hillary enthusiastically signed off on the punishment back in 2007.”

“NH, Iowa and SC were the designated early states, so give us the link that they moved up their dates. It was the SC Republican primary that moved to 1-19. The Dem primary remained the same. The SC Rep primary was scheduled for 2-2, but moved it up WHEN Florida moved the primary date to 1-29. The GOP penalized SC, FL, and MI by cutting their delegates in half. The NV Republicans also moved their primary date ahead because the NV Dems had been granted early status.

Check this link for an explaination of the primary calendar and the issues caused by the movement of the dates by so many states.

As far as MI & FL go, you will never be convinced that Hillary is just using them for her own good. She didn't care that the delegates were stripped until she needed them. Reps from her campaign voted to strip the delegates. If she were really concerned about MI and FL she would have been screaming about them last fall instead of now. It is up to the DNC to sort out that mess and it isn't Obama's fault that it happened. No matter how many times Hillary and her supporters say it is his fault, it doesn't make it true. The delegates will likely be seated, but it does have to be fair to both candidates, not just a gift to Hillary because she needs the delegates to make her case that she is electable.”

“You know, your comment might have some credibility if we weren't just coming off a historic year--the first in which a black coach reached a Super Bowl (in fact, the coaches of both teams were black). No Latinos or Asians? Tell that to Junior Seau, Tedy Bruschi, and Tony Gonzales, some of the highest-profile players in the NFL. If you are going to criticize an industry for racial discrimination, why don't you start with Fortune 500 companies, instead of one of the most racially progressive institutions in the US.

By the way, your suggestion of gender-integrated teams is absolutely laughable. You probably didn't realize this, since you obviously know nothing about sports, but the NFL isn't equivalent to your college's coed ultimate frisbee league.”
