It's not kafka-whatever-the-fuck-you-don't-know-what-you're-talking-about, it's this: when you accuse the President of treason, either you are making a little rhetorical point that is only appreciated by your political buddy-buddies, or you actually have a burden of proof to say something that makes sense. And I think we know where we all stand on that one, so don't bother.

But what if you think all politicians are criminals?

Could be a fake letter.


Hey I think they wanted to make Bond gay at one time. Political correctness and all.

Now here is an old question, is Bond just a name assigned to random agents or is it suppose to be the same
person (who is now black)

That's easy. James Bond is a time lord. He keeps regenerating.

Ah, so theoretically, Bond can eventually be female.

I'm hoping that eventually Bond gets a clue and starts drinking his martinis the proper way: made with gin.

No, *James* Bond can not be, maybe Jamie Bond.

I never did, and still don't understand all the hoo-hah about gin.

Why would anyone want to drink something, on purpose, that tastes like a cross between very horrid medicine and motor oil?

Fucking hell.

Around the beginning of last month (December), the department of motor vehicles in Maryland cashed my check for a driver's license renewal over postal mail (that is, I sent the check over postal mail as well as the form, following their directions precisely).

Today, I received an e-mail reminding me to renew my license. The one I paid for already last December. The one I still haven't received.

How can Maryland have laws on the book requiring the police to fine people who drive without a license when they're too fucking incompetent to get the licenses to us?

Actually, I rather enjoy a good gin and tonic.

I have yet to find a good gin and tonic.  So far it just reminds me of cleaning bathrooms in the army.  Not a pleasant memory on any morning (especially a Monday morning).  But, this is a subject best left for another room at another time.

Yes. But after about 3 minutes I grew tired, bored, and irritated and turned OFF the State of the Union address.,.

No SotU address in modern times has ever been about the state of the union.
Modern communication technology makes it obsolete; partisan politics make it intolerable. I guess since it's written directly into the Constitution (you know, that document that's printed on the toilet paper in the ObaObama's office) it would require a Constitutional amendment to remove it.

The constitutional reqirement that the President report annually on the "state of the Union" does not require a speech before Congress or anyone else.

This is (relatively) recent in our history.

Prior to the first (Woodrow Wilson, I *think*) the SOTU was delivered as a written report.

Just think if Obama did that today.
The Conservatives would get to GRADE it, and return it with grade and interlinear/margin comments!

"Sorry, Barack. Maybe you should take this home and try again."

Using the Flesch-Kincaid readability test—the most well-known reading comprehension algorithm—Vocativ analyzed
over 600 presidential speeches, going back to George Washington. We measured syllables along with word and
sentence counts, and gave each speech a numerical grade.

Well, I'm pretty sure the Voight-Kampf test has been applied to Shrub, and he scored "Replicant." ;)
