The Chocolate Mine

A conservative activist who is so ignorant that they protest against tax cuts (that benefit them) by throwing tea into a river."

That wasn't what it was about.

Sure looks like it from the left coast. ^____^

Astroturf and teabagging. The RM is still laughing. ^_~

Glenn Beck?!

Bwaaaaaaaaaaahahahahahahahahahahaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!!!

Seriously? O_O

From:

Our event including Republicans and Democrats. I suppose your critizism of people concerned about our growing debt is bipartisan then?

From:

I find it amusing that this concern was nowhere to be found in the past eight years. Clinton left a surplus, remember.

From:

Now that's not true. We've been fighting against Bush's tax policies, as well. Both he and congress started it, after all.

Well, don't mean to get political, but i really do hate stupid insults, and i've heard yours over and over again. It's getting ridiculous.

Back to drawing come on Tammon's face. This really should not be taking over twenty minutes to draw. It's hard to make big splotches look sexy, though...

From:

Insults? Wow! O_O All I said was that it was hysterically clueless, but typical, that whoever started these tax protests used the term 'teabagging'.

By all means, return to drawing cum. I wouldn't want to distract you.

That was freaking Clinton...And he's the only president since ... I don't know who, who was actually able to eliminate the national debt. On that alone, I don't care much about what he did in his personal life. If I had been old enough at the time, i would have voted for Clinton in his second term. IN all honesty, I didn't much care who won the election after that, neither candidate stood out to me in any way. Nor n the one after that. I voted for ... Kerry? wasn't he the one opposing bush running for term two? I had been in the Navy at the beginning of the so-called War on Terror. I saw what was going to happen and got out while I could. I wanted no part of it. HOWEVER! To be quite frank, I was of the opinion that it would take a military man to get us out of it. that's why I voted for McCain this time. Obama is a career politician and I have always been a bit wary of them. And the people he was associating with made me really nervous. I knew that whatever he was going to do if he won wasn't going to be exactly what he promised. He makes some pretty speeches, but he has yet to back them up with concrete action. So with what I have seen of him so far, I think we are in for a world of surprise.

From:

I'm sorry, the most startling thing you said was the Obama is a career politician and McCain is not? O_O McCain's been in politics well over 20 years; how is that not a career?

Eight years ago, I had respect for McCain, but he jumped the shark this time. His willingness to do *anything* to be president just didn't cut it for me. And there was no way in hell I would EVER vote for Palin.

You know, I made a joke about something I found goofy and so typical of certain groups; sorry for a having an opinion. I don't get my news from Faux so I'm not up on what's politically incorrect. I laugh a lot, but I'm not always funny. O_=

From:

I think mine needs more than scrubbed. Nuked and paved, maybe. Damn unreliable hardware that can't even last ten years! ^^;

From:

Oh, boy; I was feeling your pain! I'm a tiny bit sorry I didn't let the kid go ahead and buy another computer. Probably next year. ^___^

I also have something to try with the printer, once I feel like crawling under the desk to do it. ^___^

From:

I... came really damn close this afternoon to spending a bunch of money I don't have. O__O I remembered the Dell employee discount we have, coupled with the Dell gift card I have, I found a laptop on the refurb site that would have been down around $500.
But then I discovered you can't use the discount on refurbs. *siiiigh*
Back to the drawing board.
Did you get the printer going?

From:

Awwww maaaaan! That sucks yellow rocks! >_< Crap. Maybe something will happen eventually. Like Dell will have some kind of blowout sale and cut even the refurbs by 50%. ^____^ Let me light a few hamsters...

Have not managed the printer yet. Had to meet the kid at the occupational safety clinic and we were there for freaking ever! At least it's not a fracture, but sometimes the soft tissue stuff is worse. It's the repetitive nature of his job. O.o

From:

It's just as well... that's still too much money, but I almost got lured in by how much less it was than what I've been looking at.
If hubby gets laid off in the next few months, we can not eat a laptop. I should just freaking quit looking... I KNOW better. *sigh*

Is the kid going to have to take off work? O.O Or can he learn a different movement to do the same thing?

From:

Doesn't it just suck to be the mature one? O.o *lights more hamsters*

He has to make another appointment Monday. He's got this speed thing going on, so maybe he just needs to slow down a bit. ~>.<~ If this turns into something permanent I will be pissed.

From:

Is it something he can learn to do with the other hand for awhile? When I started to develop carpal tunnel like issues, I moved my mouse and learned to 'mouse' left handed for awhile, and it cleared up.

From:

I brought that up last night, so I'll see if it percolates. The main obstacle I see at the moment is that they are very big on productivity; x amount of work in x amount of time. Fast is good and he's very fast. He could switch hands for a while, but it will probably nuke his productivity and he's afraid of getting in trouble. *sigh* I don't want to have to call his caseworker, but I may have to. She's way more diplomatic than I am. O.o

*snicker* As I'm sure you can tell... ^____^

The term 'teabagging' has also reached popular culture via multiplayer computer gaming. In a shooting type game, for instance, after personA kills personB, personB usually gets to watch what happens for a handful of seconds in the area where he died before he gets reset. When personA wants to insult him, he can go over to personB's corpse and squat repeatedly over it. (the squatting action in such a game is usually used for taking cover behind objects.) Ergo, the practice of teabagging, also known as teafragging or corpse humping, has become a popular way of rubbing a kill in an opponent's face.

... I think there's a pun somewhere in those last few words, but it was unintentional.

From:

Oh, that's funny! Not being a gamer I'd never heard that. *snicker* Even more reason to slap the person who decided on that term for politics. *giggle* Oh, damn. *snork!* ^_____^

You might find these videos funny.

*shakes turnip curmudgeonstick at the political peeps* The links are funny because of the rampant insinuations and not because of the political views of any particular party.

From:

Oh, I saw that one! OMFS!!! That guy totally deserves a bonus or a raise for managing a straight face through all that! I laughed so hard, I had kid, RM and all three cats clustered around me. ^_____^

Actually, it had nothing to do with tea bags. I was at the Sacramento one. Quite frankly I am more than a bit worried over the kinds of people being granted high positions in the government. As for the tax thing? I freely admit that Bush pushing that bailout though Congress was the worng thing to do, however, Obama is making it worse. Do you realize where the money for those bills is coming from? Us, the American taxpayer. Try to think about the amount of money that has been poured into the bailouts, now think about how much in taxes WE are going to have to pay in order to fund them! We are looking at major tax increases. And not only for us, the current generation, we will be paying for this for the next twenty years, at least. Don't believe everything the media feeds you.
Did you hear about another tiny little bill Obama is attempting to rush through Congress? He's trying to eliminate the 22nd Amendment. Look that Amendment up.

From:

I could say the same thing back; don't believe everything the media feeds you. I am willing to allow Obama a chance to fix things. Of course it's going to cost money! How could it not?! That's a no win situation. As far as the 22nd Amendment goes, that will take a helluva lot more work than just "Obama wants it". In the real world we don't always get what we waaaantsssss. >_<

We have a new president; instead of being hopeful that *maybe* he can actually make things better, a certain segment of the country seems bound and determined that he should fail, and that the country should go down the tubes. That's nice. I'm not crazy about a few of his choices for government positions, but I'm willing to see what they actually do, as opposed to what everyone is afraid they'll do.

:blinks: How did I stumble onto Political Preaching 101? Guess finding politicians and all the other poltical crap funny, is not poltically correct. Oops your bad?

From:

My bad, indeed! Shame on me for having an unpopular opinion, right? ^____^ I've been voting since I was 18; that was in 1972; another bad war, another sleazy republican president. If I didn't find this stuff funny on some level, I'd have climbed a tower a long time ago. O_~

I could go on with this stuff, but I'm not a wonk. I just know bullshit when I see/hear it, and 'teabagging' (snicker) is bullshit. Fuck, Obama's been president for three months! He's still trying to figure out where all the bathrooms are in the White House. I think he has to be in office for at least a year to tell whether he's going to make things better or worse. ^__~

And I guess I should just keep my nasty librul mouth shut from now on, specially since libruls are such awful, terrible, unpatriotic, god-hating demons. ^____^ Oops.
