Thanks for the info!

Cant say I am surprised, the "Go USA" sign didnt make all that much sense in the tea party context.

Still a very nice line

I recently read an advertisement about a Zombie-themed card game.

The advertisement told the reader that the game was "really a no-brainer" …

I'm putting this here, because why not? It's a true story, apparently:

A Georgia woman alleges the Defense department implanted her with a "beeper" microchip in a, err…sensitive area…

Although this particular instance isn't remotely funny (unlike the one Mags posted), apparently this chipping thing is getting pretty widespread.

Bizarre. She probably also was abducted by aliens, which is why the DoD implanted her to gain intelligence on her next abduction.

EDIT: Where do you suppose these folks are getting these weird ideas? Like the HCR bill requires it?

The health care fiasco certainly isn't helping, but you might look back to the way the lefties chose to paint Dubya's homeland security agenda— Big Brother doing all sorts of ugly, black ops, sneaky, men-in-black kinds of things to salt-of-the-earth innocent citizens. Much as my side was painfully taught a couple years ago, now y'all are seeing that ya gotta watch for those rebounds.

Hmm I doubt that's where it is coming from…. Most of these morans have the memory and attention span of a gnat…

I think it's the chemicals the government is putting in our water supply.



AFA the appendectomy guy ( and quite possibly the other lady—but hopefully not the Georgia legislature), I think you've got a simple case of mental illness:

Haloperidol, an antipsychotic medication used to treat schizophrenia and Tourette syndrome, was also found at Ibssa's apartment, but investigators believe he hadn't been using it, Owen said.

You know what they say Only in America!!

Nah, those sound like fairly typical schizophrenic delusions. Personally, I don't find that sort of thing particularly funny, only depressing. Plenty of those over here, too; there was a minor local Net celebrity who got that way because he was convinced that the secret police is piping gay gas into his home. (Meaning, gas that turns him gay.)

I have a hunch some of these guys make good careers as cult leaders. The Raël guy seems a candidate, as does Benjamin Creme, the guy who's going on about Maitreya.

Which one?

The one about half schizophrenics and their role in religion throughout history.

What disturbs me most of the report is the line "no one laughed". Seriously.

Don't make fun of half schizophrenics, because…


…without them we wouldn't have religion!

Yeah, that one. I'd find it myself if it would have turned out PJ didn't see it (I mean, why waste my time looking if he's already seen it? ).

Cant give them all the credit. We must also think about the OCD's.

Perhaps they just didn't want to be rude?

Oh, that one. Nah, too long. I have a very short attention span when it comes to video. Like, about 1 minute 45 seconds.
