Cool, the pope is a commie.

Conservative.



Conservative...?

I'm not sure I would classify Ben as a conservative per se, but that was actually one of the more reasonable things he's said.

[Ben Kenobi]

classify Ben as a conservative

What would you classify me as? I'm curious.

[Sava]

So am I.

Yes. That's why you can't be a Christian. They are two belief systems that are diametrically opposed to one another.

You are either Christian or Conservative. It's impossible to be both.

Also, I approve of the jersey on Trotsky

****** fits best

[Ben Kenobi]

Given that you can be a liberal and an atheist, that makes no sense. Plenty of Christian conservatives out there.

Thanks! I thought it looked surprisingly good.

[Sava]

Plenty of Christian conservatives out there.

Christian in name only. When they start caring about the poor, then they can be legitimately thought of as Christians.

The best thing you can do for a poor person is to help them get out of poverty.

The best thing you can do for a poor person is to help them get out of poverty.

And conservatives don't do that.

[Ben Kenobi]

And conservatives don't do that.

Sure we do. It's called a J.O.B.

Conservative policies don't create jobs. At best, they lead to crappy McJobs that foster an unending cycle of poverty.

Right, which is why we hit highs for homeownership, lows for unemployment, highs for workforce participation, all under Bush. Under Obama, workforce participation has dropped to 1978 levels. A couple more percent, and we'll be right back to Ozzie and Harriet days. Homeownership is down to 1988 levels.

Thanks Obama!

If you understood any of the topics we are discussing, I might be tempted to respond to you more thoughtfully. I'm too tired to get all ALLCAPS and ranty. So...

I'm bored, and watching the Laffs/Bruins waiting for the Canucks game.

Did PIT/NYI start yet?

I actually skated today... for the first time in years. I had been working out a bit the past six weeks. I thought I'd be okay. Ugh, I could barely do anything. It's very frustrating when the mind wants to do something but the body doesn't and can't cooperate.

I'm old, fat, and out of shape.

Apparently so.

Cardio is important.

Eh, I can't skate a lick. Being tiny like me cuts you off from most of the hockey stuff. So I never bothered to learn.
