How would you know anything about anal sex?

If I knew about it, I wouldn't be asking that question.

My mom, wife, and 11-month old daughter would be surprised to hear that I hate women.

It's very kind of you to make exceptions for your immediate family :hug:

Those are the women in my life :mellow:

But I doubt *anyone* who knows me would think I hate women.

QuoteBy the way, are you going to call them whore-pills when your daughter starts using them?

That's an inside joke between me, my wife & Languish.  But to answer your question, I'd probably look Tue other way as long as she's 18 and isn't some "reproductive justice" activist like Ms. Fluke, who has the gall to expect a Jesuit university to subsidize her rutting.

Did anyone make a good decision to drop out of the race? Should anyone drop out in the future?

Until just before Iowa, Santorum was the only candidate without a moment in the sun. Then he crashes back to earth only to rise again as Newt melted down. Neither he nor Gingrich has money, sans a billionaire dropping multi million dollar contributions into Gingrich's super pac every few weeks, but they both have a decent shot of taking this to a floor fight in the convention (where they will lose since they are awful candidates). Why not stick it out and hope you land yourself a billionaire sugar daddy like Gingrich?
They who can give up essential liberty to obtain a little temporary safety, deserve neither liberty nor safety.

There's a fine line between salvation and drinking poison in the jungle.

I'm embarrassed. I've been making the mistake of associating with you. It won't happen again. :)

Cain, Perry, Bachman. Only "bad" decision really was Pawlenty, assuming he dropped out for viability and not personal reasons.

Gingrich should drop out if he'd prefer Santorum to Romney. Otherwise ride it out.

:lol: It's been a month, and you still haven't read the testimony.  :lol:

Arizona is really trying hard to be the most despicable state in the US. And that's not easy, considering it has to compete with Texas.

Quote"I believe we live in America," said Majority Whip Debbie Lesko (R-Glendale), who sponsored the bill. "We don't live in the Soviet Union. So, government should not be telling the organizations or mom-and-pop employers to do something against their moral beliefs."

lol, I think they said that in 1964, too.

Cain was a joke.

I think Perry may have made a bad decision. He had a good resume, his problem was he came across as a moron. If he ran a stripped down campaign for a month where he intelligently put sentences together, I think he could have emerged as the anti romney after Gingrich melted down. We shouldn't forget how awful of a candidate Santorum is. I don't think that he would have been the guy to win, but why not spend a couple more months to find out for sure?

All the heavy-hitters for the GOP--the few of them there are--are all sitting out for '16.  By then, maybe the GOP's psycho wing should peter out, and then the moderates and Jeb Bush can come out of hiding.

Then again, there will be some Democrat heavy hitters for '16 as well.  Particularly Hillary Clinton.  You never know about Russ Feingold, and I know for a fact Martin O'Malley is just chomping at the bit.

You assume this was possible. The months he spent campaigning suggest otherwise.

I think Christie is probably as heavy as they come. 

For the Dems, I like to Cuomo.  I don't know if Hillary will try for it.  She'd be good, though.  Woman has balls of steel.
I've given it serious thought. I must scorn the ways of my family, and seek a Japanese woman to yield me my progeny. He shall live in the lands of the east, and be well tutored in his sacred trust to weave the best traditions of Japan and the Sacred South together, until such time as he (or, indeed his house, which will periodically require infusion of both Southern and Japanese bloodlines of note) can deliver to the South it's independence, either in this world or in space.  -Lettow April of 2011

lol, watching Obama's energy policy speech at PG Community College.  Just totally zinged Rutherford B. Hayes.  RUTHERFORD B. PWN3D.

wtf. Insulting Ohio's finest. He lost my vote.
Weren't Ohio's finest the National Guardsmen at Kent State?

Don't have to beg for money, people pay you lots of cash to sit around and bullshit.  Sounds like good work.
