Stupid is as stupid does and stupidity votes Obama

[Imran Siddiqui]

I do believe it to be silly to claim that sexual identity isn't an intrinsic part of a human being. To divorce our sexual identities from ourselves is akin to divorcing our creative natures from ourselves.

Is being a bigot and a liar intrinsic to being Ben?

Ah, they're not gutting it. They're just cutting funding. My mistake. That's not gutting at all.

But you're right that they're also trying to gut medicare.

The Compassionate Republicans are at it again.

It would be so much more compassionate to let it go bankrupt, wouldn't it?

So how do you define sin, Imran? You're a Christian. I'm interested - because it's pretty simple for me. The bible says so - so it is sin.

How do you decide Imran?

Easier to accuse me of lying rather than accept that my motivations are exactly what I say they are.

Only in the new political bizzarro land did it become a choice between vouchers or bankrupcy. Everyone keeps insisting that you're the richest country on earth, yet you can't afford a healthcare system like all the poor second class countries have?

Easier to accuse me of lying

..and to accuse cows of moo'ing, dogs of barking and the earth of orbiting the sun..

Romney Doesn’t Know Why Airplane Windows Won’t Open, Calls The Closed Window Policy ‘A Real Problem’

Affluent Imagineer Mitt Romney has some exciting new proposals for the future of airplane design, according to some remarks he made to the LA Times at a fundraiser in Beverly Hills Saturday Night.

Romney was speaking to the Times about his chevalier Ann's brush with danger last week, when a plane on which she was a passenger was forced to make an emergency landing after an electrical fire caused the cabin to fill with smoke.

"When you have a fire in an aircraft, there's no place to go, exactly, there's no - and you can't find any oxygen from outside the aircraft to get in the aircraft, because the windows don't open. I don't know why they don't do that. It's a real problem. So it's very dangerous."

Also very dangerous: installing roll-down windows in airplanes, the cabins of which depend upon precise levels of air pressurization to keep passengers and crew members from passing out due to lack of oxygen.

Who knew the Kingdom of Clouds could be such a frightening place?

I see you as Asher - the very angry and troubled young man who doesn't really understand himself most of all. I've typed many words to you - over the years, I was wondering if it would shine some lights on and say - look - you are more than this.

This is easily the biggest crock of **** you've ever said.

How exactly am I troubled? I'm a happy easy-going young man (old man, soon) in a long-term, committed relationship and a very successful career and great group of friends. Why am I troubled?

You view me as troubled because I have zero tolerance for bigots and those that enable them. Life is too short to be nice to everyone. Some people are not worth the time. You are not worth the time.

We are not so different - Asher - HC perceives something that I've felt for awhile now. I'm sure I'm not the only one here who feels the same.

HC perceives what he perceives because his brain isn't mature enough to process complex information. He doesn't understand the world yet and he dismisses contradictory opinions of the world because of it. You and HC are similar, except he's mentally more mature than you are. But you both have a long way to go. The difference is you've already reached your limit.

The compassionate thing to do is to give it the funding it needs. How can you not even comprehend this third option?

Holy ****.

[Felch]

Because it's a fiscal black hole, and there are other things we need money for. Like aircraft carriers and submarines, and **** that kills uptight brown people.

It is funny, but I think he meant to say open in case of emergency while on the ground.

Because it's simply impossible for the US to do what every other developed country is doing.

If you reign in the fiscal cost of your health care caused by excessive privatization, you can have sane health care like everyone else.

There's a bunch of hilarity in the quote, even if this is the case.

There's a fire on the plane, and his first thought is how to get more oxygen in the plane.
