Slogger Big SVEN supports Hillery Clinton and Hillery ClinTon supported teh war in Iraq. Nearly 4,000 troops have died in BIG SVEn�s war. When will big sVen apologui9ze for supporting Hillery cLinton?

Cpl. Thomas L. Hilbert, of Venus, Texas, a small town 30 miles south of Dallas. Hilbert, 20, and two other soldiers serving with the 9th Cavalry Regiment based at Fort Bliss, near El Paso, died after their vehicle was hit by an improvised explosive device on Sept. 6. Hilbert's sister, BillieJo Alexander, told the El Paso Times that her brother had already reserved a hotel room in Las Vegas to celebrate his 21st birthday with his family in January.

So why don\\\'t we apportion Big Sven his fair share of the carnage in Iraq? Let\\\'s arbitrarily assign him responsibility for the death of, say, an eight year old Iraqi girl. That sounds about right doesn\\\'t it? That still leaves 649,999 dead Iraqis to be apportioned out to Bush and the neo-cons and other war supporters.

Paul Constant-

Perhaps if you check your Johnson often enough, all of us Clinton supporters will just disappear.

@2 That's why I've been grabbing at my junk at least 25 times a day since the campaign started.

I'm not much for checking my crotch, but I will tell you that anyone who carries a gun all day - if they're being truthful - will admit to patting it at least 20 times a day to make sure it's still there.

I never noticed this in all my ten years of growing up in a city with a majority of Italians, so I'm thinking it's a regional thing, and not an Italian thing.

And since I started living there at 13, I'd think I would have noticed ...

That can't really be Paul Constant, can it? It's got to be a joke, right?

A majority of Italians, huh? Fascinating.

I think they're talking about PEOPLE IN ITALY, though.

And "six", Sven? Send Mrs. Sven my condolences....

Really, Fnarf, are you sick today or something, it's like you're not even trying ....

Yes, Will, I am sick, and slow, and pumped full of pills. I feel drugged and stupid. It's almost like being you on a good day.

And Sven, you know we're all friends here. We can joke about each other's microscopic penises. Mine is only an inch long. It's four inches in diameter, though -- they call me "Ol' Tuna Can".

Fnarf, all is good. Thanks. I have many insecurities, but this isn't one of them.

"Checking your six" means checking your six o'clock, peeps.

Did this post totally baffle me because I'm female or because I'm daft? Now that it's clearer, it still makes no sense. My Italian (as in, they live in Bologna) relatives don't grab at their junk in front of others.

Amy Kate- my post was baffling, or the referenced article? I just wanted to do something slightly more subtle than "penis! Penis! PENIS!" to get people to check out the ref.

Can someone change Whinypants McTrollerson's name @1 to something more appropriate? Mr. Constant doesn't deserve that kind of crap under his name.

How about deleting them instead?
