guin guin guin....

I had held off on the sticking it to Hillary, since you seemed genuinely distraught, and because of the whole "cunt" episode.

also, I threw my back out sunday and didn t want to post much until I recovered a bit. posting while grouchy isn t wise for me....

but...

since we both seem recovered enough....

let the games continue.....

come on, admit it. Kasich is looking better and better to you, isn t he?

Comedy Tonight:


And ONLY 459 days and 13 hours to go. So much humor... so little time.

I have a philosophical problem with the use of "cunt" as an epithet, which seems to be more prevalent with the Brits but is gaining use here. But I have no problem with profanity in general, and I've yet to roll up into a ball and cry because of a disagreement with anyone, about anything. I'm a litigator FFS, I eat disputes for breakfast, lunch and occasionally a midnight snack.


And no Wes, I'm not changing my affiliation or my support. Stop pretending you think I will. It's not happening.

oh no, I meant distraught about Hillary s demise....

but I agree about cunt. it just seems to be used for nothing but insult. it is not even humorous.

calling a guy a dickhead or even a prick just doesn t have the same connotations and it doesn t insult the receiver half as much. it s kinda funny in it s own way.

someone could call me a dickhead and we can still be friends, but if they called holly a cunt....

I much prefer the term pussy.... :)

Cunt is a perfectly good swear word; no less so than any other. Only older uptight Americans have this aversion - but will strangely watch all kinds of physical violence on television and not even balk. I find this befuddling.

We're making two batches of popcorn: one with butter, for eating, the other without, for throwing at the television...

Well we can't have a drinking game, because A. I'm the only one who drinks, and 2. even if everyone was participating, chances are we'd all be passed out in 15 minutes...

You're watching the Ashes too Kristina?
