Oh, this is meant to be a JOKE!

So many seriously ugly comments come from the right, this type of thing wouldn't surprise me if it was true.  I was wondering, "Do I have to boycott KFC now, along with Walmart and Target?"

And I'm so used to averting my eyes from ugly comments from the far right, that when I got to the chicken shit part, well... that's what I did, I moved on, as a sort of conditioned reaction.  At that point, did not stop to think it was meant as a joke.

IMO, it might be a good idea to read through the slimey comments emitted by the noise machine, oiften they contain clues about the slimers, themselves, comments which you might use to your advantage...

FWIW

Am I to believe that Ron Paul, if elected, would have total control over Congress and be able to institute all the changes he proposes? What a difference from Obama who, according to so many people, has done nothing about the promises HE made even though he is owned lock, stock and barrel by big business, big oil, big banks and big zionists. (Oh wait, can't say he is owned by anyone as that might make me a racist, harking back to the days of slavery. So, let me say he is in the pocket of ... no can't say that either as it has sexual overtones. Ok, maybe controlled by... yep that's the word, or influenced or instructed or....)

I have tried to listen, for example, to Michele Bachman, and am so quickly appalled that I have to turn away.

Here in Dallas, there is no shortage of vitriol aimed at Obama, even from school teachers.  I talk to my son about it, but honestly, it makes me very sad.

In case it isn't clear, I am appalled by the KFC jokes -- so appalled I didn't want to comment but alas, you are right, the ugliness is the actual news topic here.

But isn't Obama threatening to veto this if it goes through Congress?  Or possibly I'm mixing up my threats.  I thought that's what I read.

Obama to sign it. Even in Forbes magazine this gets talked about but not in the main stream press. They attached this the the military budget. Sneaky  Sad party is that Obama will still sign it.

**I knew it; another one of the never-ending flipflops.  cheney/bush et al all over again.  Sure he'll sign it; he and his crowd are no different from them.  Damn!
And the military/industrial/intelligence complex wins again.**

Well,  you can bet Obama and the zionists are behind this one.  If God meant anyone to skip Friday, he wouldn't have invented time zones.   It's downright unnatural, dagnabbit:



Samoa to go back to the future with dateline shift


Hong Kong (CNN) -- When the Vatican switched from the Julian to the Gregorian calendar in the 16th century, legend has it that riots broke out over the "lost 11 days" the shift caused.

However, on the Pacific island of Samoa - which plans to skip Friday this week when it switches to the west side of the international dateline -- the mood is more typically laid back and Polynesian.

"Sure, people are excited," government spokesman Uale Papalii was reported as saying to foreign media. "I myself am relaxed, (we are) only changing the calendar."

The decision to push the international dateline further to the east and go back to the future -- going directly from Thursday to Saturday -- was prompted by new economic realities rather than a need to be the first place in the world to celebrate New Year's Day in 2012.

**why bring zionists into that?**

[Marge_Innavera]

It's consistent with the international zionist conspiracy to confuse and disrupt everything.  And clever, too -- who'd connect Obama and his zionist puppetmasters with Samoa?

 Never heard of this one, and yet it certainly covers the territory.

 But it also has implications that have me, now, somewhat puzzled.  Under this law, is it faintly possible that Doodler actually likes Jaimie Oliver? Is nothing real?  Is nothing sacred?
 Oh, times; oh, morals  !

Or as (I think) H.L. Mencken put it, O tempora, o mores, o whores.

Not to mention the Ciceronian original
