    the tycoon, the quarterback and the comedian

    Anyone wanna start a thread, maybe a poll, about how old everyone here was when they lost their virginity? :D

    the tycoon, the quarterback and the comedian

    The fuss is that the hypocrisy is running rampant. The joke was based in part on Palin's hypocrisy, the conservatives are (rightly) screaming about the double standard in the press and the unfairness with which conservatives are treated, and then they respond by blowing a joke out of proportion...

    the tycoon, the quarterback and the comedian

    "We were, as we often do, making jokes about people in the news, and we made some jokes about Sarah Palin and her daughter, the 18-year-old girl, who is — her name is Bristol, that’s right, and so, then, now they’re upset with me," "These are not jokes made about her 14-year-old daughter. I...

    Rusty Depass-Prince of GOP Racism

    Well, my goodness! He should apologize! How old does he think that gorilla is, anyway? <rimshot> What does this guy do now? He's a former chairman of a state election commission, i.e., a ballot counter. What's the GOP gonna do to punish him, promote him to Walmart Greeter?

    the tycoon, the quarterback and the comedian

    No, that's OK. Batboy whoever is fine. It actually illustrates the fundamental problem of the joke, meaning, not enough people are going to "get" it. The problem is twofold. The joke is an amalgamation of a national punchline (Palin's stance on teen sex) and what is primarily a local one (A...

    Virtual Truck Stops

    I'd prefer it to be properly implemented so that it works and provides the fleet the information it needs to best position itself. A week or two, a month or two, I don't care, as long as they do it right. On the other hand, if they're gonna take the extra week just to get it wrong, well, they...

    A "Gangster" Government.....

    The story of how strength and courage in the face of adversity and danger is related to two nuts encased in a sack of shriveled skin hanging from between a man’s legs is probably a fascinating story, indeed. As to Obama, one day, hopefully soon, many will finally see their Messiah as what he...

    That's exactly what I'm saying, actually. Basically, if Christians and Jews and Muslims can live together in peace on the same cul de sac, or certainly together in adjoining neighborhoods, then our political system should be able to recognize why that is and then apply it to foreign policy. But...

    the tycoon, the quarterback and the comedian

    Shockingly, I do, too. Letterman screwed up by not knowing for sure which daughter it was. Well, it's not a case of Letterman not having a major history of lying, it's that he has no history of lying whatsoever, be it major or minor, at least not in connection with his role on television (lies...

    the tycoon, the quarterback and the comedian

    Correct. This joke was set up specifically to demean someone who should not be made fun of, and is thus tasteless and not funny. It is a parallel of what you interpreted the original joke to be about, which, as it runs out, is the incorrect interpretation. The original joke was a shot at Sarah...

    David Letterman - Prince of Late Night Cowardice

    I don't think the Dems fear her as much as they see her as an easy target. Granted, mostly for the wrong reasons, but she's an easy target just the same. They probably should fear her, though, but most are either too smug or to ignorant to fear her. Certainly not enough Democrats, or the...

    the tycoon, the quarterback and the comedian

    This is just a parallel joke of what the other joke was reinvented to be, not what the other joke actually was. This joke focuses on the son and his actions, not on what some third party did to the son. Also, regardless of which son it was, the son's actions would not have been such that pointed...

    Greg, when I say America, I mean the political leadership, particular that which deals with foreign policy. Not so much individual Americans, or Americans collectively. Accommodation is another matter. That's what I meant by not letting them run roughshod over us. The way Islam is constructed...

    David Letterman - Prince of Late Night Cowardice

    Well, yeah he's a clown. He's a comedian first, and taking cheap shots is what comedians do. They all do it every now and then, including Leno. And nothing is off limits when it comes to comedy, either it's funny or it's not, either it works or it doesn't. This one in particular wasn't funny nor...

    David Letterman - Prince of Late Night Cowardice

    In many repsects, yes, absolutely. She's a hypocrite because she preaches abstinence and is against sex education of any kind in schools, "because it can more effectively be taught at home with the proper morals, where they will accept it and live by it." She reiterated that stance heavily right...

    David Letterman - Prince of Late Night Cowardice

    I'm not a liberal, and I don't use their tactics. It is however a basic requirement of intelligence that one do at least cursory research on something before they comment on it, otherwise their comments will be nonsensical. The reason that I questioned whether or not you read or heard the joke...
