i dont even know where to start...

[mrw]

As long as we are dumb enough to fork over close to half of what we make to a government, and support and pay for full time politicians, we will get full time law making.

It's the most basic of all laws...

If you are willing to pay for something, you will get an endless supply of it.

Meanwhile Brattleboro, VT has just banned public nudity, but only in certain areas of town..

Yeah - 'cause all the other news scources are soooo much better.

[stuckathuntermtn]

AP, BBC, NYT, Washington Post, Wall Street Journal, The Economist, the London Times, Bloomberg, Reuters.
If you can count Fox, the 10 or 11 o'clock show as news, I can tell you to follow the white rabbit.
Do it.
He's late.
For an important date.
You have never had anything constructive to add. Period. I just listed 9 of the most reputable news sources IN THE WORLD.
"I fucked your mother and those are all liberal garbage!"
No, you didn't, and facts have always had a well known liberal bias.

You've had a very quiet 1400 posts mrw, but I'll remember that one.

[Jer]

Wow. You really should back away from yourself a bit. I come here (padded room and douchethreads on ski/snowboard, that is) for one reason only - entertainment. The only time I ever got "uppity" here was in one of the Demo Woman threads. Oddly enough, I got "uppity" with one of the very very few resident TGR Rightwing Douchebags. Pretty wild, huh?

Oh - and I did actually fuc yer mom. In fact - how old are you? This may very well be an Empire Strikes Back moment.

Do you ever get tired regurgitating the same four posts over and over with slightly different wording?

Why would I? Dipshits such as yourself keep reading and responding to them.

Is "regurgitating" the dipshit TGR douchebag word of the day or something?

[stuckathuntermtn]

I believe I already typed an adequate response here: http://tetongravity.com/forums/showp...&postcount=197

[Jer]

Yeah - that's nice. Maybe you can hand that in to you Jr. High English teacher for extra credit. Are you my new TGR obsessive stalker? Are you going to start PMing me with a bunch of gay porn like the mad used to?

[stuckathuntermtn]

No, but now I won't see your response to me putting you on the ignore list. Mostly due to the fact that your posts are annoying to read when there's actuall info in between them.

Ok, I admit it. I can't take you making fun of my mom, and I can barely see the screen through my tears.

Cajun town bans saggy pants; mayor says cover up 'private parts' The Associated Press State & Local Wire June 13, 2007 Wednesday 5:06 PM GMT

HEADLINE: Cajun town bans saggy pants; mayor says cover up 'private parts'

DATELINE: DELCAMBRE La.

BODY:


Overly saggy britches are obscene, the Delcambre Town Council says. So does Mayor Carol Broussard, who said he will sign an anti-sag ordinance passed unanimously this week.

The new indecent exposure ordinance in this Cajun-country town of about 2,000 carries penalties of up to six months in jail and a $500 fine for being caught in pants that show undergarments or, in the mayor's phrase, "private parts."

"I don't know if it will do any good, but it won't hurt," said Delcambre Councilman Albert Roy, who introduced the ordinance. "It's obvious, and anybody with common sense can see your parts when you wear sagging pants."

The meeting Monday night packed the small trailer that has been Town Hall since Hurricane Rita swept in six feet of storm surge on Sept. 24, 2005.

Low-hanging, baggy pants have become a fashion fad, mostly for young men in the hip-hop culture. Several residents objected that the ordinance targeted blacks.

Broussard denied any racial motivation. "White people wear sagging pants, too. Anybody who wears these pants should be held responsible."

Although Roy, who is black, introduced the ordinance, he said a $500 fine is outrageous: "I think it should be something like $25."

The ordinance states, "It shall be unlawful for any person in any public place or in view of the public to be found in a state of nudity, or partial nudity, or in dress not becoming to his or her sex, or in any indecent exposure of his or her person or undergarments, or be guilty of any indecent or lewd behavior."

The law applies to women as well as men, the mayor said Wednesday. "If you expose some of your privates, the crack of your behind, if somebody feels insulted they should press charges. If you're offended by it, we want to straighten that out."

The clause about "dress not becoming to his or her sex" doesn't forbid cross-dressing, Broussard said. "A dress, I wouldn't find that obscene. As long as he covers himself and it's not too short."

The ordinance isn't needed because the state has an indecent exposure law, resident Sylvester Harris said during Monday's meeting. But town attorney Ted Ayo said the measure expands on the state law by adding underwear to the list of forbidden exposures.

"This is a new ordinance that deals specifically with sagging pants," Ayo said. "It's about showing off your underwear in public."

Town resident Adam George had another objection. "It's just going to be harassment," he said at the Monday meeting. "People that don't like me are going to call and complain on me and say I've got saggy pants. I'm going to have to pay to bond out, even if I'm right."

Police Chief James Broussard said he didn't have a problem with George's pants, which hung below his waist but were covered by a long T-shirt.

"It's not like I'm showing my privates or anything like that," George said. "It's my boxers."

Mayor Broussard's public advice for people who like their pants to hang low: "Just wear it properly. Cover your vital parts. I mean, if you expose your private parts, you'll get a fine. If you walk up and your pants drop, you get a fine. They're better off taking the pants off and just wearing a dress."

It's news. The AP reports news. They wrote nothing biased, simply who, what, where, when...

Your point again? Compared to Fox News, where every show has an editorial slant and who encourage their "journalists" to offer their opinions on the topic at hand, the Associated Press is a fantastic news outlet.

Don't get me wrong - CNN is no better, especially that new Anderson Cooper 360 show or that blowhard Lou Dobbs (Libertarian.)

[Keith Olbermannn]

FOX NEWS BLOWS!!!!!!!!! ANYTHING OTHER THAN THE UNABASHEDLY LIBERAL BBC AND CARTOONISH MSNBC IS BABY POO!!!


tune in tonight where I make multiple ad hominem attacks and pleasure myself to Anderson Cooper!!!!

[TNKen]

I heart Fox.

Not everybody likes us...

...hey - you wouldn't happen to be Sibhusky over at Epic?

[stuckathuntermtn]

I guess I'd have no problem with Fox news if they called themselves something like "Fox Conservative Current Events Cable Talk Shows." For instance, I believe Rush Limbaugh simply professes to being an entertainer. But that doesn't roll of the tongue as well as "Fox News"

[Bighit9]

The only problem I have with fox news is that they are always covering some shitty murder case for months at a time.

[StuntCok]

That county is going to reverse itself quick after they have thrown all the plumbers in jail for plumber's crack...

[Crass3000]

Back to the subject at hand... good for them. Pull your fuckin' pants up. There's nothing funnier than watching "Cops" and seeing some guy try to run but he was too stupid to where pants that weren't halfway between his knees and his ass so he trips after about three strides.

I'm sure Fox would change the name if CNN stepped up with "CNN Ridiculous Liberal Talking Heads". They both suck. Rush is on Fox now? Speaking of Rush - happy b-day Geddy last sunday!
