Prime Time Thread

First

Ahh…I was wondering what was happening. Nice new thread… Roomy.

Wargasm

jesus mary and joseph! i went into a panic!

I just that word y’all came up with. And I want one.

Man, I need to work on being pithier when I’m shooting for first on the PTT, y’all.

Anywho, PPP is a vet?What war? What branch of service? What job?

*like. I just like that word y’all came up with.

Shit, I’m too old for this.Joe, gives new meaning to “ferreted out”, eh?Whah?Comment Submission ErrorPOSITION FLEXIBLE! Your comment submission failed for the following reasons:Comments are not allowed on this entry.

Bob, put that comedian video back up again. I was seriously freaking out of the ten minutes the PTT was down.”Give it a second, it has to go to space!”

GI: sounded like Army in the first Gulf War. For such a cynical bastard, PPP sure swallowed a lot of propaganda.

I was trying to post something on the other thread before it disappeared the gist of which was: republican federal regulator= Amish bush drivers

Good. My burnt offering worked.—————A marmot?Also, let’s not forget – let’s *not* forget, Dude – that keeping wildlife, an amphibious rodent, for uh, domestic, you know, within the city – that ain’t legal either.

El Myst rides the short school bush

GAAAHHHH! This was a shitty internet day. Too much tech support music!Thanks for hanging in!BEER.

New word for everyone: Hussen!

Here’s what I tried to post on the other thread before it got eaten:I agree, Gyps. Favreau is a cutie. But I gotta say, I love me some Rahmbo. Even though he’s shorter than me. And when I listen to Gibbs lay a little smackdown on some idiot reporter, I must admit, I get a little turned on. I’m such a slut.

El Myst rides the short school bushIs that like riding the short hairs?

Amish bush divers?

Hussen!Beer!

Jane, I’m not sure what ‘riding the short school bush’ means, so I will say just this:dirty.

What’s a Hussen? Is that similar to a hussy – you know, like Gyps.

Huzzah!Beer-substitute!

It’s how an idiot sporting a confederate flag and calling people stoopid spells our president’s middle name. Hussen.

I am going to apologize in advance for this statement so please forgive me.fe, THE HUNDRED HOUR WAR? You mean the one with 500,000 soldiers and 36 countries actually supplying soldiers?There is a HUGE difference between the Gulf War and Iraq. Iraq parallels Vietnam not the Gulf War.I really hate downgrading other veterans but if you are going to be a fucking war cheerleader then you have to go fight in the fucking thing.

Hugs to Bob for suffering through shitty music to provide us with our nightly therapy! We love you!!!

Warmerkin.Hussenmerkin.Poor Bob. (beer merkin)

Gentleman, there’s no fighting in the warmerkin room!

Thanks for hanging in!BEER.

Way beyond that Bob. Bourbon, with a splash of water.

Your Host Gator isn’t very friendly

Hussen (Provision definition): When you’re angry enough take the time to create something in protest(eg, signage), but too fucking stupid to spell it correctly. (In equation form: Angry + Dummy = Hussen)

Jane, get me and bob a beer. Make bob’s an import.

Your Host Gator isn’t very friendlyThat would be Jane, our hostess. She rarely bites.

i want to be a slut puppy…hussy sounds like a 20 “jobs” into the night 80′s street walker! don’t get me wrong i walk the streets but still…

Bourbon, with a splash of water.

Fag.

Y’all keep your beer and bourbon. I’m gonna sit in the corner with Gyps and do tequila shots. It’s been one of those days.

Fag.

Nah, quit smoking 8 months ago, and never liked British cigarettes.Oh, wait… Hey!?!

>>> Bourbon, with a splash of water.Fag.Posted by: Elvis the Dingeldein™Oh, there’s Elvis! I almost didn’t recognize you in your Anne Coulter costume.

Did everyone’s day suck except mine?

GI: I concur, but I don’t have much else to say. Maybe I’m wrong, but I have a strict policy not to talk about war with soldiers unless I’m just asking questions. I mean, if I’m not gonna go fight over there (I’d do other stuff there, though), I’m not going to argue with someone who will.

Bob sez he wants a Sam Adams.And I *always* do as Bob sez. (You seen his basement??)

ahhh…tequila! nectar of the god’s…

Must be, Kyle. Lucky bastard. You should be the one pouring drinks then.

Is it just me or does Tim Geithner look like the Snow Miser?Seriously…

I vote we skip the rest of March and go straight to April. So far I’m not impressed.

Sorry, I forgot who posted the link to the poll for the White House’s Hottest…but I vote for Jon Favreau.Rahm Emanuel ain’t too shabby, either.

It’s 62 degrees here in the midwest, no biggie.

Dammit! I totally had Steele being fired after the mid term elections, but now I’m not sure he’ll last another week. Bum. If I had bet actual money on that I’d be more upset, I guess.Then again, I thought he’d be ineffective and just kinda not good, not a spectacular failure. He fired everyone at the RNC and then never hired anyone to replace them? WTF? I just picture it like a sitcom, with Steele sitting there bouncing a ball of the walls, while his quirky assistant constantly reminds him to get to those pesky interviews!PS his assistant is a skinny gay kid who wears a scarf indoors.

I’m probably just chipper because for the first time in weeks, I could comfortably stand outside and enjoy my cigarette at work. I hate winter.

jane, we are going to go out of march like a lamb! so you will be in charleston when?!

ElMyst – how do you know I’m gay? My neck gets cold!!!

How come Keith’s the only one talking about the Bush Dictatorship and the latent memo revelations? For two days, he’s been discussing it & all I’ve seen out of others (NJ, Shuster, Tweety) is all Limbaugh, all the time. WTF, media??

oh….PPP’s not gonna be happy….that was a very long post & agree or disagree with him, he put thought & effort into it.

ceu, between that and the Chris “Beatdown” Brown/Rihanna diversion, I agree… Too many distractio…… Hey, what’s THAT?!?!?! SSSShhhhhiiiiiinnnnyyyyyyy

Who needs a beer?

ceu, I disagree with him.This RNC member should have Steele’s job. She is a much better representative than Steele. But wait, she is a she and can’t be a leader of the RNC.

Dr. Ada Fisher on TRMS: I’m a little bit in love with you. Which makes me a little bit afraid of you.

Now I see……I couldn’t figure out what killed the last thread, the Fat Bangin’ Captain or the week old eggplant sandwich. Then I couldn’t figure out if there was any difference between the two…….

Charleston. That requires a phone call, and I am just so not in the mood to talk on the phone. I’ll find out soon if we’re still on, Gyps.If not then, definitely we’ll have a GDA oyster roast thingy in the fall.

ceu: I’m not sure he did put thought into it. I’m not sure he thinks about anything.Hey, all PTT’ers: please keep your fingers crossed and good thoughts in the air – CA Supreme Court is hearing the Prop 8 case. I really liked being able to marry whomever I wanted.

I thought someone threw up eggplant on the tubes.

Jane, are you a pregnant alligator? I thought you were a cougar ?

>>”…..she is a she and can’t be a leader of the RNC.”Speaks volumes about Ann Coulter…….

Hahahahaha Mississippi’s state legislature just told their governor that he can’t turn down the stimulus unemployment money.BTW, what’s with these jerks just rejecting extra unemployment $? Cos a lot of people are getting unemployed through no fault of their own. I somehow doubt they’re going to take their governor’s actions as principled when they see that, for insatance, hey, you’ll take 3.7 billion, for other shit but not the extra hundred million for unemployment?Strategery abounds!

oh….PPP’s not gonna be happy….that was a very long post & agree or disagree with him, he put thought & effort into it.

I’m not very happy either Chris. I had responded to that comment.

Oh shit Joe, you didn’t. You might wish the ferret had taken a bite out of your balls by the time Jane is through with you.

fe, just think you will be able to get married and fight in Afghanistan soon.

Alright, jerks, I have to go get paid to take a chemistry test. (I work at the facility where the do the test for large classes.) (I know right?)

Kat, I think she miss it or she is hunting for the most awful picture ever.

yea! baby jane and an oyster roast in the fall! nothing can beat that! except baby jane, an oyster roast in the fall, and…wait for it…wait for it….tequila!

gi. definitely the second! it is never good when jane goes m.i.a.

Modified 12-step program for Michael Steele1. Admit that you have a problem: that you are out of touch with reality, and your party has become unmanageable.2. Believe that a Power greater than yourselves (the American People) can restore you to sanity.3. Make a decision to turn your will and your party over to the care of the People.4. Make a searching and fearless moral inventory of yourselves.5. Admit to the American people, to yourselves, and to other Republicans the exact nature of your wrongs.6. Be entirely ready to have the People remove all these defects of character.7. Humbly ask the People to remove your shortcomings.8. Make a list of all groups you have harmed, and become willing to make amends to them all.9. Make direct amends to such people wherever possible, except when to do so would injure them or others.10. Continue to take personal inventory and when you are wrong promptly admit it.11. Seek through public discourse to improve your conscious contact with the American People, asking only for knowledge of their will and the power to carry it out.12. Having had a spiritual awakening as the result of these steps, try to carry this message to other Republicans, and to practice these principles in all your political affairs.

damn, GI, what’s the difference?

FOUND IT!

Since your all talking about it here, I’ll post my response to Elvis here.

Elvis,

Sorry it took so long to get back on this thread. Not sorry about my comment.

” (I’m an elected official to my state’s Democratic Central Committee; how about you?) “

What did I do? I enlisted in the army in 1985. After my first four, I re-upped. That’s all I will say about it. That, and, as much as I respect you, Elvis, you don’t know shit about what happened, and is happening, in Iraq, or Kuwait eighteen years ago.

All you know is what you’ve been told, what you can find in print, or what the media shows you, which is less than one percent of the entire picture.

I may have misread the tone of your article, but I sure as hell haven’t misread the tone of your response to me.

You put your money where your mouth is, I put my life where my mouth is. You act like Iraq is a new war. It isn’t. It’s the same one SH started in Kuwait. It was ALWAYS going to be finished. Hussein made sure of that.

Some of my buddies served both excursions. Funny thing, I never, ever hear them complain about it. They’re proud at what we’ve accomplished. I’m proud. The hell you see on TV, the hell you read about is horrible, you can thank whatever entity you believe in that you couldn’t smell it, but it’s just a small part of the entire picture. You don’t want to acknowledge that. Your tone ignores it.

It’s a victory, son. You don’t like calling it that, and when I call you on it, you’ll come back at me as aggressively as you can, hoping to silence me. But when soldiers are telling you it’s a victory, you better fucking listen, because I think we’d know.

What do you know? A few whining reporters who never leave the fucking zone? Talking heads who’ve never even been there? Our soldiers, YOUR soldiers, are LAUGHING at the media. Ever wonder why?

BY FAR, the experience of the United States “soldier” has been one of pride, not shame. Our troops have distinguished themselves far beyond the call, but all you hear about is the Abu Ghurayb’s, which our illustrious media can’t even spell correctly. You don’t hear about soldiers laying their lives down for Iraqi citizens. You don’t hear about our troops sharing their gifts from home, from their mom and pop, their brothers, sisters, and wives, with the people we are protecting.

You hear about a dozen people dying because some fanatic strapped some c4 to his chest and got all heroic for Allah. That’s what you see. That’s what the war is to you. By the way, that story was front and center in your post, as your proof positive of King’s declaration being false. So in essence, you were playing politics.

You see what the media wants you to see; you see what SELLS. If you want the real story, why don’t you hike your way to your local VFW and buy a few rounds. Sure, you might meet a few who are angry or disappointed. That’s to be expected when your heart is pinned to your chest for an entire year. But don’t go spouting your bullshit there; because they won’t react as nicely as I have.

One last thing. You supported Afghanistan. Why? What’s different? UBL? Not really. Hussein killed more than him by far. That those dead weren’t Americans might be your real problem? What is it? What’s the difference? Is it because you were all fired up to send troops to die because UBL scared the shit out of you? What was the difference?

SH used his own people as target practice. He gassed hundreds of thousands of Kurds. But he never really needed the gas, Elvis. Bullets were more fun. And he proved it over, and over, and over. UBL? He’s killed thousands. SH? Millions. Which was the bigger threat?

Posted by: politicalpartypooper at March 5, 2009 7:27 PM

AND MY RESPONSE:

It’s the same one SH started in Kuwait. It was ALWAYS going to be finished. Hussein made sure of that.

Interesting. I was under the impression that “SH” after fucking around a little bit, actually did let inspectors into Iraq before W told them to bug out because they were going in anyway. But I suppose you know better since we civilians only get one percent of the real news.

But when soldiers are telling you it’s a victory, you better fucking listen, because I think we’d know.

Please refer me to a link of the soldiers calling Iraq a victory, PPP. Also, please tell me what your definiion of victory is.

Show me the soldiers that are laughing at the media. Paul Reickhoff? Jon Soltz?

One last thing. You supported Afghanistan. Why? What’s different? UBL? Not really. Hussein killed more than him by far. That those dead weren’t Americans might be your real problem? What is it? What’s the difference? Is it because you were all fired up to send troops to die because UBL scared the shit out of you? What was the difference?

The difference is Osama bin Laden wanted dead or alive. Remember that? The difference was that this was supposed to be about taking the fight to those who attacked us. Where did bin Laden come from? Saudi Arabia. Where was he hiding? Afghanistan. Where did the 9/11 hijackers come from? Saudi Arabia. What prominent American family has a close relationship with the Bin Laden family? The Bush family. Who did we attack? Iraq. Why? Who the fuck knows?

I’m glad you served honorably and with pride, and we thank you for your service, but these aren’t the same wars. And if you can’t see that Steve King, one of the looniest of the right wing, is using the honorable service of our troops to hide behind reinventing the Bush years and rewriting history, then there’s something else going on here.

You can dismiss me now if you want, because I’m a know-nothing civilian, but I would appreciate an answer to my questions in an honest, civil discourse instead you spouting off about how you know it all and we know nothing.

Posted by: Broadway Carl at March 5, 2009 8:19 PM

Joe wants to meet my little friends.Who won the over/under?

fe, what is the difference between marriage and fighting in Iraq?Well, as both a combat vet and a marriage vet(divorce a)there are plenty of similarities. They both involve bloodshed and armed conflict. They both cause financial difficulty for the nation and yourself. They also involve small Iraqi children.

Add this to your list of things that are wrong with the repuke party… this is why they aren’t getting anywhere.. idiots like this.http://firstread.msnbc.msn.com/archive/2009/03/05/1821956.aspx

Jane, try again. That was weak

Joe, were you the one on the left or the right?

That’s me on the right. How did you get that?

BC, thanks for the update.PPP is a FUCKING WAR CHEERLEADERAgain, the GULF isn’t IRAQ. They are totally fucking different and HUSSEIN didn’t have shit to so with this war.PPP is a POG and you’ll need to call him that from now on and watch him lose his shit.

Oh…BOOBSPut the booze down and type bitches.

Someone said boobs?

gi, you know war MAJOR ptt killer!

GI, in 1997 I deployed as part of OP Phantom Dragon in Kuwait. We were an upsized brigade, about 1,500 troops. And that’s all we needed to keep Saddam contained.

GI – Forgive my ignorance. What’s a POG?

jane we are so easy…hahaha…kat i 5…4…3…2…

I have boobs.

>>>i have boobs.and they’ve been used! OH..bada bing…

So if the internet is a series of tubes, and everyone uses it to look at boobs.Shouldn’t it be called the boobtube(s)?

Hey Matt, maybe you have an opinion of PPP’s comment? I’m just trying to figure out if I’m a nutball because I wasn’t in the military, but I always thought common sense was… common sense.

My boobs have done some seriously good work in their lifetime, Gyps. They should probably be knighted or something.

well kyle what about the wang?B.T.W. = boobtube and wang… that rolls off the tongue nicely but i feel like it could sue me!

Matt, you have my utmost respect brother. In no way am I taking anything away from your service.PPP just pisses me off. POG this is classified Army terminology and I may end up dead for sharing this.

kat, we have to get you neon glowing crown nipple rings stat!

I ran a Google Fight of ‘boobs’ v. ‘wang’Wang won.

As long as they televise the knightings. hubba hubba.

shit – that’s the problem with wandering the tubes. People respond to the stuff you’ve posted, and you can’t remember what it was so you have to reread everything.Well done, Carl. nice response.

ElMystico -A not very well know fact about the Recovery Act’s unemployment funding is that if you take the funding, you have to expand your unemployment compensation laws to be like the unemployment laws in Yankeeland for the 3 years that the Rewcovery act funding lasts. This is not a problem anywhere except for about 6 states in the south which do not provide unemployment compensation for people that were paid minimum wage.In the South this is a favored way to fuck people with dark skin color. Jindal is apparently a negro hater. Go figure.

Go Wang! Boobs are overrated.

Thanks for the info, GI. I would never use that phrase since I’m not military. If it’s in Wiki, then it’s not a secret and I doubt you’d get in trouble from your brothers.

Up with wang!

POG is the worst possible term to call a Soldier. It is really fighting words.No more guy stuff I promise PTTers. I am done threadkilling.

Down with boobs

I don’t mind, GI, FWIW.

Joe, don’t make me do this. I said I was in Beavis mode tonight.

Holy crap, Jane.

Sorry, Skibster. (You oughter know by now not to click on anything I link to…)

oh my ward, those are elephant hoofs

And I’m eating dinner right now!

mmmmm Roast Beef.MY EYES!!!!

The Pogues – One of my all time favorite bands. Rum, Sodomy, and the Lash is a Goddamn Awesome album.

Trainwreck, huh. Joe will be gone for hours.

ARRRGH! My eyes! It burns! It burns!!!

Carl: you were spot-on. You might be interested in this link:http://indymedia.nl/nl/2002/03/2897.shtmlThere IS no “Chris Reilly.” That was my reportage under a pseudonym for the defunct YellowTimes.org — basically, the Bush administration had 50,000 troops surrounding Iraq a full YEAR before the invasion. Clearly, the Bushies had made up their minds long before the public even heard about “WMDs.” Your point about Bush pulling inspectors from Iraq just shows how much of the “drama” was kabuki theatre for public consumption.GI: no offense taken. My point is that Saddam was NOT dangerous in 2001 — OP Iraqi Liberation (O.I.L.) was about, well, OIL.There was a moment shortly after the fall of Baghdad when I should have had a tape in the VCR: some reporters drove into an Iraqi Army base north of the capital with a live uplink from their videophone. The place was completely deserted — not an Iraqi in sight. All they found were acres and acres of armored vehicles on their sides, missing tracks, missing turrets… The Iraqi Army was a complete mess, and the Republican Guard wasn’t much better off.To give you some idea of how much of Saddam’s war machine had been destroyed in OP Desert Storm, during my time in Kuwait there was a plentiful supply of hard targets for EVERY RANGE. I got truly happy with my M-60 for the very first time EVAH on a BMP and the bullets went thru it like cheese. On Tank Table VIII we had no less than five T-72s to shoot at. There was an artillery park about ten acres in size near our kabaal, all 155mm howitzers pointed skyward — but I saw a dozen others just like it. And the most impressive display of destroyed vehicles was on the Mk-19 range: I counted thirty T-55s and three dozen BDRMs.Make no mistake: Saddam was utterly impotent in 2003.

And I thought Ann Culter was a giant cunt.Sorry!

i’s skurred to click! give me a clue….

Jane, that was terrifying. Possibly worse than this link.

ok, so i couldn’t NOT click! holy jebus! how does that even happen?! i have the sickest thing to say but i won’t! it is even too sick to stay in my mind…”out damn spot, out”

Kat, do you live in ATL?

Nope, I’m in NC.

jeez, jane’s link needs to meet kat’s link…(i am gagging)

Actually, lots of Indians harbor prejudice against darker skinned people. In South Africa Indians were one caste above blacks during apartheid, and you can google “dalit” to learn about the “untouchables” of India. Piyush may have absorbed some of these attitudes from his 1st generation immigrant parents. That’s just speculation.Anyway, other lost details from the lost thread: Elvis will tell his republican story on his radio show… details coming soon to Twitter or facebook. Also, numerous Cescans advocate for Awesome Blue, at least for one week, to see how we like it.QT

Kyle – re: Coulter. How do you know one of those pics wasn’t her?

Kat! I never knew there was such a thing. Woah.

Gyps, my first thought was of that Southern phrase: rode hard and put up wet.

What do you do for a living?I do vaginoplasty and labiaplasty.WTF?Yeah. I make pussies look prettier.UFB.

Skiba, you hang around Jane long enough and you will learn about things you never knew even existed.

It would have been much cheaper to fill a bathtub with ice water and soak for a while. Maybe it would draw up. SORRY.@CarlI didn’t see any cobwebs, so I assumed it wasn’t. I could be wrong!

kat that is 10 times better than my thought! and ewwww.

Some of those pics made me think the surgery might actually be useful. Who knew?

Although that guy, Dr. 90210, is a complete Douche.

jane, absolutely they were helpful! that would be like trying to get past elephant ears!

Well, goodnight ladies and gents. I’m most likely done for the evening.And I won’t be around tomorrow. 25th HIGH SCHOOL REUNION! Holy shit. Can’t wait to see all the idiots who turned out to be GOP loving freaks.

night carlos!

What high school, Carl? I’ll understand if you don’t want to say.QT

Yup – conservative financial policies work great!

Holy Cross High School in Queens, NY. Class of 1984. All boys Catholic HS.

Don’t forget your kneepads, Carlos!

They’re already sewn into my suit, Jane.

what does it say about me that Jane’s link didn’t alarm me at all?

You’re a recovering Catholic, Carl? That explains a good bit.

Ah. Thanks Carl. I’m class of ’84 as well, but obviously, different high school. QT

why did they fry the budget?

i saw that fe! ROB!!!!! YEA!!!

QT -Thanks for the reminder about former South Africa caste system. I know a bit about the caste system in India, but I am certainly no expert.I think your suspicion about Piyush is probably correct. His parents were not likely to have had much experience with blacks until they immigrated to the U.S. The caste system in India is pervasive and very strict.

Agh… I don’t think I can stand anymore of Rush and Tweety’s fat heads… Switching to Futurama. Nice.Perhaps I could invent some sort of Death Clock!

I’m totally loaded on The Maker’s Mark and watching JIMMY CARTER: MAN FROM PLAINS. Life is good.

Okay, who’s left on the GDAB?

I’m enjoying a new Sam Adams Blackberry Witbier, which I traded my roommate for a Honey Brown…Man, he’s a chump!

I guess no one, Carl…which is too bad cos I have no intention of doing any homework tonight.

Yeah, it’s getting a little late, Mysty. And I think the intertubes trouble in the server changeover ruined the flow. Have a good night.

The Pogues – One of my all time favorite bands. Rum, Sodomy, and the Lash is a Goddamn Awesome album.Posted by: SillyRatfacedGit at March 5, 2009 10:21 PMYou read my mind, Git. I was already making the musical leap as soon as I clicked on the link. Love those guys.

GI Joe,Do you really believe that I’m so concerned about what you think of me that I’d be angered by your words? I’m laughing.And by the way, I wouldn’t necessarily say POG is the worst thing you can be called. I think there’s worse, like rock or eightball, or traitor.You want to know where I served and what I did? What good is going to come of it? Company A, first of the 75th is all you need to know. I discharged at E-5. Enough info for you? Does it change anything? No, it doesn’t.The guys in my platoon, and my squad, the guys that are still left, tell a different story than the one you tell. And those fuckers are hard, Joe, it takes a lot to get a heartbeat out of one of them. Maybe it’s an age thing, maybe it’s an experience thing. They are all, to a man, proud of what we’ve accomplished in Iraq, and are all still engaged in the war on terror. Tell anyone of them that the war in Iraq was lost, and the results would not be pretty. Maybe being so young gives you a different perspective, but if I were you, I’d never let anyone tell me we lost in Iraq. Ever. Your enemy in Iraq was also the enemy of the very people you were freeing. Your enemy in Iraq was oppression, and it makes no difference if it was Saddam, AQ, or some other faction willing to shed blood to grab power.For Matt,We already knew about the condition of Saddam’s army, having kicked their tail all over the desert over a decade earlier. That wasn’t the point. Desperate men do stupid things. SH did a lot of stupid things, and when he did, lots of people died. That was the point.Incidentally, what have you guys got against the Iraqi people? I don’t get why you wouldn’t be proud of what you did. It makes no sense, unless you’re just playing to the crowd. Your job was not to question why you were there, as a soldier, you have no opinion. Your job was to free the Iraqi people.In my experience, resentful soldiers are bred by bad leadership. If that was the case for you, I am sorry for your experience.

Broadway Carl,My hat is tipped to you. I have no problems with you at all. Furthermore, I think King is an ass, too.
