We can do better: US liquor sales take a hit in our winter economic climate.

Knowing really is half the battle

Oh my, GI Joe, what a big gay mustache you have.

Great, Billy Carter 2.0 will keep the Fox News folks happy...

PSA 18 "Dont Run away from home" is even better. I think "Shipwreck" is secretly hoping the boy WILL run away...with him.

ReCONDO? What the HELL kind of call-sign is that?

Sounds like what a property owner would do: "Well, these condos weren't selling in the soft market of the late aughts, so we leased them out as apartments for a few years. But, now that the market is up-ticking again, we're going to re-condo them."

Google's next step should be to hand over day-to-day operations to Skynet to avoid future incidences of "human error."

Aw, hell, most of the posters here gave up on apostrophes years ago. And punctuation. And capital letters. And correct spelling and grammar. So what's the fuss about?

Posted by Fifty-Two-Eighty on January 31, 2009 at 10:22 AM

The fuss is about GI Joe locked in a fridge, smoking doob with Obama's 1/2 brother and 8 babies, while Tom Daschle gives a free ride to a bigoted bishop and greedy bankers drink Russian booze.

Closing the John Wayne Trail. Asig of a society in deep decline. What a monumnetal waste. Whatever govt. is in charge didn't do themaintenance? Didn't raise an alarm, you know, before they have to close the whole thing?
It's like building a great heated outdoor pool in West Seattle, truly world class, then opening it in only summer only for 2.5 months, and only at noon.
Where's the WPA dollars from the stimulus package to fix the whole John Wayve trail now and to fund full operation of Colman pool April to October, 16 hours a day?

Those dollars are gone to the business tax cuts part of the package, so that Obama gets to be liked, he hopes, by GOPSters.

Good luck with that!

FDR had the WPA up and running in four months.

Where is the Obama WPA to go fix the John Wayne trail this summer? A very healthy exp. for teenagers and I suspect quite a few adults would love the job, too.

WTF is a bankster? A changeling lovechild wrought from the forbidden union of Banksy and the Munsters?

Here's something SLOG would like, a story about Obama AND pot:

http://xenophilius.wordpress.com/2009/01…

"The half brother of President Barack Obama, George Obama, was arrested by Kenyan police on charges of marijuana possession, CNN reported Saturday."

They should include PSAs like that one over the credits of the upcoming movie.
