What would you like Obama and/or the US government to do? It WAS a mistake. Obama did not lie when he said that. However, Scotland is not in our jurisdiction, we have no authority to usurp THEIR authority, we can't make them overturn the decision and bring the guy back. The Scottish government made a decision the US has been on record saying they do not agree with. That's the most we can do. Unless you want us to pretend Scotland is Iraq and invade or something. Because short of sending troops into Edinburgh, we can't do jack squat.

Syd WAS gorgeous. Dark eyes, dark curly hair....smudged eyeliner....very emo hipster before there was such a thing as an emo hipster. In 1968, give me a Gilmour/Barrett sandwich and I'm a happy gal!

If the Democrats were truly trying to ram anything through Congress, they certainly are having difficulty aiming, wouldn't you say? There's no single version of any bill on the floor of either house and Obama, at least as far as I've read, has been trying to work with Republicans on some compromises to make it easier for it to get through, when there actually IS a single, finished version to speak of. The way some people make it sound, it's damn near to his desk already. That would be ramming it through. He doesn't want to do that. Again, not that I've read and not that I've heard.

No, I think yours is okay. I agree about the poems, though. I never understood why you need to say that much. I have a picture, and then 4 lines of text.

Obnoxious is right. If your signature takes up the space that 2-3 posts would take, it's too big. I don't think mine is too big. At least I hope not.

I cannot watch that infomercial without breaking into hysterical laughter.

BTW, as I recall it, what happened was Mr. ShamWow decided to procure a lady of the evening for his nightly pleasure (which is perfectly fine with me) and in the process of enjoying the lady's charms, he decided to kiss her. Well, you know the rule - you never kiss a hooker on the mouth and she bit down on his tongue and would not let go. So while he hit her, he was hitting her to get her to let go of his tongue. Tell me you wouldn't do the same thing if someone was biting down on your tongue and not letting up. How else are you going to get the person to let go - it's not like you can tell them to.

I love the ShamWow! guy. He's hilarious AND he took on the Church of Scientology and lived to tell about it. That alone means he's got huevos made out of brass. You don't mess with those people, they're like the Mafia - they'll neutralize you.

If it's telling you the picture is too big, you need to re-size the image or find a smaller one. Sam might have instituted signature limits.

HAHA, aww that was cute Steve. I love when you try to be indignant. Do that thing where you stamp your feet and shake your tiny fists in impotent rage again. BTW, you calling someone a naive simpleton is the epitome of the pot calling the kettle black. Rather than using this as an opportunity to critique the government in Scotland who allowed this and the government in Libya who are accepting him back, you choose to do what exactly? Oh right, bash Obama when he's not involved in any way, shape or form. You are just too precious.

Oh yes, I do agree. He looks handsome in basically every picture though. I think he knew he was the hot one, at least secretly.

I don't see what liberal/conservative has to do with this, as it's my understanding that political parties and ideologies in the UK are different than those in the US. Furthermore, the US is not backing up this decision. Being a liberal or agreeing with liberal policies doesn't mean you agree with 100% of them 100% of the time. I'm a liberal and I don't agree with this at all. Don't turn this into a "let's bash the liberals" thread when there's zero need for it.

A lot of much larger high schools had larger graduating classes, I'm aware of that. However for my school, 120+ in the senior class was a lot. It saddens me how much that school dropped off, because it was a damn good school.

It's like on Facebook. If you put something there, someone who checks out your profile will see it. It's a fun doo-dad.

Ah, so you fancy yourself a god, eh Steve? Delusions of grandeur.....check.

LOL! I love Sanford & Son.

I've had second dates too, especially since I have been in a 6 year relationship before. Just because that idiot wasn't worthy of my time doesn't mean it's on me - if he'd been remotely human maybe I'd have been more inclined to see him again. But nice try, Sparky.

Firefox has a lot of add-ons that you can customize your browser with; Ad Block, Forecastfox, VideoDownloadHelper and FoxyTunes are the ones I use the most. You can change the skin or theme of your browser and what not. Safari to my knowledge, doesn't allow you to do that. However Safari is an Apple product so it runs better on Macs than it does PCs. Both allow you to store user names/passwords for frequently visited sites, both have a lot of great security features and both are pretty easy to use, even for someone who may not have a lot of computer knowledge. If you're using a PC, use Firefox. If you're using a Mac, use Safari. They are almost essentially the same browser, just made by different companies.

Just as an aside, but the size of a man's ego is directly inverse to the size of his junk.

I agree about Safari - when I use a Mac that's the browser I use.

If Sarah Palin writes a book, the most important decision she'll make concerning it is what color crayon to use.

I'm sure you think you're somehow informing me of something I don't already know, but I am well aware Palin is no longer a public official. She cut and run for God only knows what reason. Someone should have told her you can't be a "lame duck" when you're still in your first term and you can run again when that one is up. That does not however, negate the fact that she's still out there spewing wharrgarbl like a broken sprinkler and the "birthers" in the GOP are eating it up like ice cream and then it gets on TV and in the newspapers and on the internet. She's keeping herself in the public spotlight and the GOP are more than content to let her help sink their ship. Which is fine by me. I'd love to see the Republican Party get back to the party of Eisenhower. Maybe then people wouldn't feel forced to vote Democratic when they may not want to because the other option is so far off the fucking rails it's not even close to being a viable option anymore. If Buckley and Goldwater were alive right now, they'd drop dead.

Nah, you have nothing to worry about. I like you. Though we disagree on some things, you at least present those opinions and back them up. Palin just spews wharrgarbl like a broken sprinkler.

I can't relocate. I have no money to move anywhere, as my savings are completely exhausted. The only family I have outside NC are my aunt and uncle in Wisconsin and they have 3 kids and their grandkids living with them already and my infirmed grandmother in a nursing home in Illinois. So who would I live with since I can't afford rent anywhere? Can't bunk on any friend's couches because all my friends are in the same situation as me, in fact my best friend got laid off yesterday and had to move back in with her parents. I don't have a driver's license, so how do propose I transport myself to wherever these jobs magically are? My broomstick? It's in the shop. I used to have a driver's license in Georgia, but I can't afford insurance, I can't afford a car of my own and my parents can't afford to stick me on their insurance for the car's we have. So I'm shit out of luck as far as that goes. I have said this once, I have said this a million times - I have submitted my resume to over a 100 different locations in Winston-Salem, Greensboro, High Point and the town I live in and have gotten nothing back. Those are the only places I can work because those are the only places I can get rides to. So I'd ask you to quit talking out your ass about a situation you know jack shit about, you unfeeling knob.

I know there's one that's cherry-flavored and it's not too bad. It'll at least make you able to swallow food and liquids without wincing, at least until you can get to a doctor if it doesn't go away in 3-5 days or gets significantly worse. Get better soon.
