We can ALL be winners!
Might work better if they spelled “Special” right!
Rule of thumb : those who like to say “Bush is stupid” are even more stupid than Bush.
Rule of thumb : those who say stupid things like “those who like to say “‘Bush is stupid”‘ are even more stupid than Bush” are even more stupid
Pretty sure he got better grades then you in school, and went to an ivy league school. You can be critical of him sure, saying he didn’t run something right or you disagree with him, but he’s much more educated then you’ll ever be.
Keep telling yourself that.
He barely scraped a C average and he was in an Ivy League school based on privilege NOT aptitude. (Those Ivy League schools have provisions for the children of rich alumni)
What?!?!?! That does not happen! Not in my America! lol (Yes, I’ll keep telling myself that)
So you honestly think that every single grade he ever got was given to him and he earned nothing.
Sorry that just isn’t true, you don’t know him, just like I don’t know you, so you can’t say he earned nothing in his life. C’s at an Ivy league school still look better then my A’s at my state college.
1. Do you know him?
2.he was a druggy in his college days
3. Most likely yes he was handed grades because daddy could pay for them
And Obama got into Harvard solely on an Affirmative Action program…..
I note that Obama finished higher in his class standing than did McCain.
Or are you going to claim “Affirmative Action changes grades”?
He might, if it worked for his argument.
Yo Idjeutz:
Historically, one of Harvard’s preeminent acceptance criteria was ‘leadership abilities’ — and was read as “is your family powerful/rich”
Gradually, this became a problem for Harvard over this past generation, as it spent more time babysitting rich brats then educating future leaders.
Henceforth, Harvard has been modifying it’s acceptance criteria to account for (go figure) academic aptitude.
– clever move, eh?
anywho – get a kloo, fohx. Obama has written books. Hillary needed help writing books. Bush tries to have his picture taken in front of books… when convenient.
Uh huh. Jes’ keeep chasin’ them trainwrecks.
Again such wonderful liberal tolerance (sorry Jane if this gets out of hand)
You say we should accept everyones view, love everyone, completely imbrace and accept the cultural changes of today because otherw’se we are bigots and racists, and yet a man you’ve never met in person MUST be dummer then you just because you watched enough news to believe it.
Now I wouldn’t call myself a liberal, and I have many friends who are liberals, homosexuals, feminists, environmentalists, w/e, and we are all good friends, we get along and all that. Tolerance is accepting EVERYONE without having to agree with them. Example, I don’t have to agree with homosexuality, but I won’t reject people I know based on their sexual preference.
Yet you will reject and be intolerant of someone you’ve never met nor probably ever will. I’m not saying don’t disagreeing with him, I’m saying since you don’t know him, you are not correct in your assumptions about him.
I think he’s done some dumb stuff to okay? Quitting touting tolerance unless your tolerant of EVERYONES views.
But… but… you only have to be tolerant when it comes to views that relate to your own, though, right!?! That’s what years of listening to some of the most liberal of headcases has taught me…
My apologies if that came across as personal intolerance / rejection, either of yourself or Mr Bush (I’d had a pretty rough night) – the intended target of my scorn and invective was in fact the notion that there’s some kind of absolute, strictly ordered Education Scale, on which Casey’s education can be compared to Mr Bush’s.
yeah, sure he’s “educated”. because of daddy dearest. jesus, how stupid are you? you actually think bush got into an ivy league school because of his grades?
Those who like to say Bush is stupid may have done business with him in the past.
Hmm… Might be insulting to actual Special Olympics athletes.
Agreed. “Special Olympian” isn’t a generic humorous term for “toxic brainless warmongering douchebag”.
Such wonderful liberal tolerance.
And conservatives were SUCH paragons of virtue and examplars of tolerance when Clinton was in office, praising the man, lauding his efforts, assisting him at every opportunity!
He did perjure….is that something we should praise him for?
soooo…. the only way to defend your actions is to ascribe similar behavior to others? Interesting…
*pssht* In-freakin-deed! If adultery was good enough for him, why should *my* wife be mad when I do it? … [/sarcasm]
Tolerance? Is stupidity some sort of race or worldview that should be respected?
EP if you see then, then you know my repsonse to this cause its waaaaaay to easy.
What? You can’t handle them yourself? Need back up? Maybe the bot is down for reparis. C’mon, man! Sack up!
haha, no I just had a really easy come back that I felt was a little bit to spiteful so I just saved it for someone else.
Since when is disagreeing with our government intolerance? I kind of thought it was one of our rights.
Since I think you are the most easy to talk to
You know listen to a person more when they make decent arguements and not throw mud. I could list things about barak, Clinton, Carter, that liberals think is hate speech especially like the ones in Congress yet the liberal base that elects finds it perfectly fine to describe people with words that I wouldn’t call my worst enemy.
Mind you this one isn’t so bad, but to say what was just said, and then call yourself tolerant is a lie. I’m not saying Conservatives have been perfect but more often then not conservatives are called out for things that are completely rediculous, and when liberals (specifically base although sometimes the politicians) use slander and vicious statements like throwing up garbage is praised and often called heroic.
What if barak was a worse president and all I did was bash him?
Would half of you honestly say to Bush what you say on here? If so you have no etiquette, I wouldn’t even say that to Nixon, and if Barak was worse (which is possible and if you don’t believe me I cry for this nation) I would still be on my ass amazed I met a president of the United States….
My main point, and this has always been my point, is that you can not say “liberals are always….” or “librals do….” and so on. You can NOT judge an entire group of people and accuse them ALL of actions you dislike without being as intolerant as you are accusing them of being. Being a liberal means that you believe in certain political viewpoints that are seen as being liberal. That doesn’t mean all liberals believe and act the same way. When liberals are intolerant it isn’t a symptom of being a liberal that makes them that way, it is a symptom of their individual personality, the same as when a conservative is intolerant I don’t believe it is a reflection on ALL conservatives.
I do see your point
I guess I just dont see as much whistle blowing for the other side of the isle is what I’m saying.
The thing is when the wrongs or the certain aspects of individuals are not called about by the group, it seems to follow the idea that silence is agreement. Whether you personally do not agree, many seem to let it slip by doing nothing and yet finding fault in some of the smallest insignificant things
Well I’m not going to go on a crusade to stop all the liberals from saying and doing things that make the rest of us look bad, I already have two jobs I don’t need another!
I guess what I am saying is that we are all human with human imperfections. For small petty thoughts and beliefs, thoughtless comments that other people who just happen to mostly agree with my politics say, I’m not necessarily going to jump all over them. It’s that personal morality thing again. I have to judge how far out of line it is and if I have the right to say anything, I am, after all, no one’s conscience. Just like I’m sure you don’t halt every unfair thing a conservative has said or done, we just don’t have that time or the right.
Sometimes people are going to say and do things that we morally disagree with. But we have to try and be aware enough to say I disagree with what that person did, not I think all liberals do those sorts of things because that guy who is a liberal did it.
Right, disagree
This is mocking…which you can’t really sensor, but AT TIMES it gets irresponsible. If you can’t admit that then you don’t understand the difference between making your opinon and out right slander.
Just cause he’s freaking dyslexic does not give you a reason to mock how he prounounces words. How can a tolerant liberal mock a dyslexic? And somehow you find this more important then a man that can’t keep his dick in his pants? Have you just given up and decided thats okay? WHY!?!? Why lower your standards! He lied STRAIGHT to the court, Perjury which people are imprisoned for……and yet liberals could care less. Much more important we get someone for saying strategiery
Sorry if the post above was written bad, wasn’t attacking you either by the way, general conversation. Like I said you are one of the few people that can actually have a conversation.
I don’t completely disagree with you, yes mocking goes to far. I was not making a statement about the picture at all, but was instead making a statement about your generalization of all liberals (of which I addressed up above). What I personally believe is that the office of the President commands respect even if the man himself does not. If I disagree with his politics then I state that straight out. However we can not forget that we are on a humor site and then humor is a very subjective thing. Like the previous picture of Bush with the American Girls Beach Volley Ball team (of which I was against, and quite outspoken about it, as were many liberals) it is a matter of personal morality as to what you deem goes too far. Do I care for this picture? I’m sort of ambivalent. My biggest problem with it stems from the implication that there is something wrong with the Special Olympics and its participants, which is wrong. Also, if you think that if PK was around when Clinton was in office there wouldn’t be any anti-Clinton lols, think again, I know there would be, and even as a liberal democrat I probably would have found them funny (some of them, I’m not a saint).
Btw, I didn’t think you were attacking me, I took both your posts with the spirit in which they were given, and I always appreciate debate that doesn’t degenerate into name calling.
Ha, I don’t disagree with you with the Clinton statement at all.
Oh and if I reduce myself to straight up degenerate name calling (straight up cursing out) you Jane have the right to call me out on it.
Wow, Trainwreck, Jane, I’m impressed. This is probably the first time on PK that i’ve seen people discuss their differences in a civil manner. I admit I’ve had a few unpleasently worded posts (But c’mon, they were directed at EP he kinda asks for them) but I try my best to be civil. Not saying I do a spectacular job of it, but I always try to start things off in a civil manner.
mmhmm. Bravo! Bravo to Trainwreck and Jane!
I think we should elect both of them to Congress.
If we did, their brains would become jelly, and within a week, they’d be spouting the same retoric they both seem to have enough braincells to see through. Sad, but true.
*sobs quietly in election booth*
If I worked in congress I’m sure all my tiny little ideals would be crushed in about five minutes.
There are other things i’d like to do with my time….like play Call of Duty 4….lol
I would like to thank all of the conservative crazies who are living in their moms basement wrapped in the flag and and tinfoil, waving their guns around while waiting for another post on “LolPol”. You guys really have changed my opinions and my life. Thank you for your inputs.
Your ideas wouldn’t be crushed in 5 minutes Jane. You’d have to wait until everyone came back from vacation before they could start their hopesmashing.
I would love to take a bat to Ron Pork’s head and post it on toxic junction.
I wish they’d stop being so intelligent and considerate and go back to booger jokes!
Sorry, this isn’t failblog.
so stop trying to get burn of the week on puundit kitchen
If you don’t like people mocking public officials this may be a poor choice of website to spend your free time on.
Granted, it can get a little over-heated at times and I am often in there slugging it out with the rest of them but seriously … that is what this site is for.
We come here to bash the politicians because once they are in office we have very very little say in what they do with our country. And as you point out – if we do ever meet them in person we have no chance to tell them what we think to their faces.
I think a lot of people would tell Bush how they feel if they had the chance – more politely than on an anonymous website I hope but internet does bring out the baser side of most arguments.
Well that’s were I have to disagree. I worked hard to be able to… wait for it READ! so you know, this is America were we should be able to make fun of whoever we please (except the very mental retarded, I mean like idiots who are just being dumb asses.) But just because I dont agree with you trainwreck chaser doesn’t make your points not valid.
Theirs mocking, and then their slander. If you don’t think their is a difference then look up the word libel and then find it in the consitution.
I just don’t know what to say in this second post, but you’re just so utterly wrong. I hope you aren’t an American because what you just said would make the founders of this nation laugh at you. Freedom of speech is to raise your opinion and disagree and still go home at night and be okay with the person you disagreed with.
Are you even liberal? I hope not because you’re statement is EXTREMELY hypocritical of what the party represents. They should revoke your membership for ideas like this.
I also hope your less then 16 because a 16 year-old would know the difference between mocking and slander. Their is, its a down right fact, I could state 1,000 examples.
Man i’m just gonna stop here before I completely rip you a new one.
Libs only like the idots that keep voting for them.
hey, hey, I like him don’t be insulting an awesome pres
9 out of 10 historians called Bush the worst president in the history of the united states. (Both liberal AND conservative historians at that!)
What is your source for this? A 2005 WSJ poll put him at #19…
In fact, a 2006 Gallup put him as favoured by history over his papa *and* Clinton.
And this is 2008… so maybe the historians are basing this on information in the last 2 or 3 years?
*from* the last 2 or 3 years
Yeah. That’s why I was asking for a source. The latest poll I can find was from 2006…
Anyone? *tapping foot*
Heh…. just by coincidence, their judgment coincides with their party affiliation. Who’d a thunk it?
Any “historian” who makes a judgement on a President before his term is over is not a historian at all but a hack.
It takes 20 years at least for the full implications of a national leader to become evident.
So we haven’t even seen the full scope of how much he’s fucked us over yet? Well, time to head to canada.
Hmm… I think we screwed ourselves over. Well, actually, I think my elders screwed us over. I was not old enough to vote. But we not only voted him in once, but we allowed him to be voted in a second time. Say what you will about the controversial voting that took place. Fact of the matter is, we allowed it to get so close. Not only that, we’ve allowed him to continue to do what he has been doing with no ramifications for his actions. Things could have happened, but everyone was too worried about their party being in power and not what is best for the nation and that has been our downfall.
Its like the bartender that gets put in jail because one of the patrons he served got waaaaaaaaaaaaay too hammered and drove home and killed a family who were driving home from a wonderful vacation. We enabled what took place and did nothing to stop it. Shame on us.
Wait a second, he can’t arbitrarily send us to war without the backing of Congress (i.e. The War Powers Act.) So while everyone wants to blame Bush for the war in Iraq, the fact is, it was Congress that allowed him to do it. That is why Obama kept hammering at Clinton for voting FOR the war in Iraq. This is what the concept of Checks and Balances is, or have you never studied how the U.S. Government works? If you want to blame anyone, blame your State Senator.
Yes, Senators are at fault. But really, everyone is at fault. Everyone from the top to the bottom in this country has allowed it to slide downhill. They have allowed things to continue to happen. Everyone has made wrong calls. We voted our senators in and if they acted against what we wish them to represent, that likely means we didn’t make our beliefs clear enough to them or we made a mistake in voting them in. Part of being in charge, senator or President, is taking responsibility for your actions or the actions of the people under you. No one wants to take responsibility. It’s not in our culture anymore.
“No one wants to take responsibility. It’s not in our culture anymore.” And that my friend is the nub of the entire problem. Parents teach their kids that it’s always someone else’s fault rather then owning up to what is each of our responsibilities.
People want all the rights with zero responsibility. I believe we might call that ‘The American Way’, sadly.
This has been my frustration. No matter what your beliefs: left, right; liberal, conservative, moderate; Republican, Democrat, Green, Independent, Socialist, Communist, Anarchist and any other ists; we have to take our government back. It’s become this monster run amok!
And I admit, this is far easier said than done. I myself looked at the hoops a regular citizen must go through to get any attention on matters that are important to them.
You know what? I agree 1000000%! I am a Canadian living in America, and I am the only one where I live that would take responsibility it seems. Every freaking person in this damned town of mine is so ignorant and selfish!! I mush you Canada!
It is true that congress did vote to go to war, but they voted based on bad information. It is their fault however that they just beleived everything they were spoonfed by the administration instead of thinking for themselves though, I do agree there. (Though technically, you can’t really blame the people who voted against the imperialist expa….criminal a…….clusterfu….. ummm, war.
If it were really the Special Olympics, posting on Pundit Kitchen would be one of the sports.
Also, I suspect that Dubya can at least spell “Special” unlike the moron who made this caption.
All I have to say to this is…
“I got a lot of Ph.D.-types and smart people around me who come into the Oval Office and say, ‘Mr. President, here’s what’s on my mind.’ And I listen carefully to their advice. But having gathered the device, I decide, you know, I say, ‘This is what we’re going to do.’” –George W. Bush, Lancaster, Pa., Oct. 3, 2007
And your point is? Oh right, on your head.. good one Zippy, though not relevant.
Not sure I understand the point you are making… is it “Bush is dum lololololol”? If so, you’re probably right. But, spelling “special” is fairly simple for someone whose first language is English.
and you know, that the first language of the caption writer is english from….?
Are you familiar with LOLcatz pictures, which is what this site is kinda based on? Then you’d understand why special is misspelled.
Actually I don’t think that’s why it’s misspelled. Usually they would put something like ’speshul’.
*shrugs* either way, we get it. And I see from the outpouring of comments, the rest of us know how to spell.
um yeah. Lolnathan, uh, i think it was spelled wrong on purpose! to show that he is special.
It is the job of some to know everything about a given subject and how it relates to various issues immediately surrounding it. It is the job of others to use that information as it relates to every issue. Mankind is limited in how much he can retain. Nobody can know enough about everything to be self-sufficient as President of the United States. It would make voting much easier for me if I knew which experts each of the candidates intended to surround themselves with. A president will only ever be as effective as their cabinet.
At least he uses the advice provided to him by his intelligent advisors, as opposed to a number of presidents who surround themselves with morons in order to look better.
Yknow it’s fine and grand that you and others find offense in the jabs certain macros take and choose to express your dissent in the comments… But when you criticize the very foundation of macros and LULZ -improper spelling, honoring memes, etc- the terrorists win.
“Specail” isn’t lolspeak, its just some moron failing at looking smart while criticizing some other moron.
or it’s possibly just a typo. Granted, he should have proofread before posting, but still. 99% chance it’s a typo and nothing more.
IT WASNT A TYPO HAHAHA
And you know this how? Wait, it’s in all caps, it’s gotta be true.
He might have been useing “Specail” as a means of enforcing Bush’s alleged stupidity…
That was my interpretation.
If “specail” isn’t lolspeak… then how do you explain “cheezburger”?
cheezburger is pronounced the same as cheeseburger while specail is not pronounced the same as special
A lot of things on ICHC are misspelled for no good reason. Also: teh isn’t pronounced “the”, yet it’s still an acceptable replacement! It’s easy to switch around lettres.
I don’t think there are any rules, I’m not an expert but it seems that most of the time the pronounciation is close, like teh is very close to the pronunciation wise. If that were not the case then this could be lol speak: ladkjf dkfjasdh fjdk;alsdf kkkkk fjdlll oooooooooooo )))))))))))))0000000000!!!
Now, if special had been spelled spechalz or something like that it would have been much more convincing.
and, I’m not trying to invent grammar rules for lolspeak, it’s just observation.
lol dat wud be impossabellllllllll!!!!11!!
And I want all to know that I hate myself for ever typing that way…
Sometimes you just gotta lol out, you know, hardcore.
That’s teh onlee way to lol.
Da onlee reezon I typz dis wai iz cuz mai kitteh can nao undar… undor… unnerstand mai postingz!! LOLWUT?
So…which is worse? Winning the special olympics or losing it?
Way to make fun of the special olympics…jerk
I kind of felt bad about this comment lol…
Wow.. now we’re really scraping the bottom of the barrel.
Don’t bet your little blue booties that Dubya can correctly spell ’special’. I doubt he can even pronounce it correctly. Never could understand why someone who was a librarian and obviously well read would marry someone as verbally awkward as Geo. W. in the first place. Did she feel sorry for him or was there some unseen endearing feature about him that got her attention……… like a donkey wang ? Watching him walk….. one does wonder what he’s straddling.
No one doesn’t.
“Never could understand why someone who was a librarian and obviously well read would marry someone as verbally awkward as Geo. W. in the first place.”
Uhh . . . maybe it’s because he graduated Yale, having taken harder courses and gotten better grades than Kerry? Or that he flew what was then the most dangerous plane in the US armory (13+ deaths per 100,000 flight hours), and asked to serve in Vietnam? Or that he is open enough to have made his service records made public, while Kerry is still hiding his?
The US has never had an unintelligent president of any party. (Well, maybe Andrew Johnson wasn’t so swuft.) Dubya has the sense to make himself accessible to his constituency by using language they understand, and do so off the cuff–again, unlike Kerry and the other faux northeastern liberal elites, who can’t get a coherent or accurate sentence out, or Obama, who can’t speak at all without prompting.
But then, I’m responding to someone whose mentality hasn’t progressed from calling names on the playground like a third grader. DNFTT.
‘Using language they understand’, shouldn’t be the same as saying many things that make grammar nazis cringe.
One of the oldest is ‘putting food on the family’. Something that takes a few moments to translate into English being ‘language they understand’ really says something about the general American population.
“unlike Kerry and the other faux northeastern liberal elites…”
What crawls under my skin with Bush is that he’s a faux ‘aw-shucks’ Southern good-ol’-boy. The guy was born in Connecticut and lived for a long while in Maine. He’s not a corn-pone cowpoke by any stretch. Hell, he doesn’t even like horses. Yet somehow…
Obama has an awe-inspiring charisma: that attracted me enough to look over his policies and decide that I agree with the bulk. Bush has an Everyman charisma: that attracted enough people to his policies (or his peoples’ policies) that I am morally opposed to. (And to round things off, McCain and Kerry have about the same facepalm level of charisma; those guys should’ve squared off… on some channel I’d not watch.)
It’s the chumminess that Bush exudes that makes him seem like an idiot: his wide facial expressions and his propensity for chuckling in particular highlight his… ‘linguistic idiosyncrasies’ like saying /nu-cu-lar/ instead of /nu-cle-ar/. Gerald Ford wasn’t a particular clutz, but that’s how he appeared.
u leik hes polisees? u leik socialism? aw, I feel bad 4 u, herb…
10:1 says you haven’t the faintest ideas what socialism entails.
How’s the socialized police force working out for ya? The socialized fire department? Epic failure, that one, eh?
Kerry’s policies don’t particularly thrill me; I’m just reiterating the point that for all his Texan affectations, Bush is as Yankee as Kerry.
“Dubya has the sense to make himself accessible to his constituency by using language they understand”
Stupid is a language?
“Uhh . . . maybe it’s because he graduated Yale, having taken harder courses and gotten better grades than Kerry? Or that he flew what was then the most dangerous plane in the US armory (13+ deaths per 100,000 flight hours), and asked to serve in Vietnam? Or that he is open enough to have made his service records made public, while Kerry is still hiding his? ”
Reality Check: FAIL
wer did u chek, plz? iz relevent to mai intrestz.
Ok … you are wrong on all counts here.
He scraped a C in Yale but was let in because his dad was rich and an allumni.
He skipped ahead of the line to join the national guard so that he would not have to go to Vietnam or be at risk of draft. He missed large chunks of his guard duty and none of his squad can say they ever saw him show up for his required days.
You have been reading that Swiftboat book haven’t you? You do realize that it has mostly been debunked as lies right? Bush even disavowed any connection to that book or the ads because it was all lies.
I am speaking to at least three of you at once; you figure out what applies to whom. Comin’ at ya:
“A C in Yale but was let in because his dad . . . ” His grades, and reasons for admission, are unrelated. Please cite source on his reason for admission. Regarding grades, below is from the Boston Globe, hardly a bastion of Bush support.
http://www.boston.com/news/nation/washington/articles/2005/06/07/yale_grades_portray_kerry_as_a_lackluster_student/
Incremental, but better grades than Kerry.
The following link points to a seven-page article dispelling the slanders and libels that have been perpetrated by the radical left about Dubya. The first page deals with his ANG service. I am looking for a far longer piece dealing solely with his ANG service and the FACT that he requested a tour in Vietnam. (He was refused because the F-102 was being phased out of the Air Force armory.) If/when I find that article, I will post a link here.
http://findarticles.com/p/articles/mi_m1571/is_2004_March_1/ai_113363774?tag=artBody;col1
In any case, the “AWOL” myths have been fully debunked by the Pentagon, although you should have gotten a clue when Dan Rather’s so-called journalism on this issue was proven to be a forgery.
I don’t know what Swiftboat book you are referring to. I get my information from primary and secondary sources, not rumor and innuendo passed on via the electronic teat that you radical lefties (I am NOT referring to all Democrats) think is holy writ.
Could be she found him to be a charming fellow, which, other flaws aside, he seems to be. If a woman is looking for impeccable public speaking skills as one of the main criteria in a husband, she’s… uh.. “doin it rong”.
Maybe she just saw him as a ‘project husband’. You know, like how sometimes neat freaks marry complete slobs.
I read somewhere that she agreed to date him only if he became born again Christian. Perhaps she didn’t think he would do it and then was stuck with him when he did?
I like Laura, I think she has class and maybe she sees another side of him. We only see the public goofs, gaffes and wars but she lives with him and maybe he is a good husband and father.
I still hate the man’s politics with a fiery passion that burns though
I know this is going to sound like I’m showing off intellectual superiority here, but I like how he was depicted in Harold and Kumar Escape from Guantanomo Bay. (Btw, the intellectual superiority bit was sarcasm, incase you didn’t pick up on it.)
this one is really stupid. make fun of obama. its the new thing. 57 states? what a retard
Noone is awesome.
Noon-y hasn’t watched Tropic Thunder yet …
Obama’s “57 States” comment
As a proud, intelligent progressive, I don’t like Dubya for a broad number of reasons, but I know he’s not a complete moron. Moreso, I know he’s neither autistic nor retarded. I’m not a fan of this LOL.
Having volunteered to work the Special Olympics one year, I know firsthand how these Olympiads are, and I’ve never felt so shitty about myself. Special Olympiads as a group are quite selfless and lack the coveting of “normal” athletes. I can’t imagine Mark Phelps would ask the judges for a silver medal because he already has a gold (or seven, in his case).
Well said once again Herb. I agree that my biggest problem with this picture is the negative slant it places on the Special Olympics. Today’s athletes could learn a lot about hard work and integrity from the athletes who compete in the Special Olympics.
You’ve touched on the thing about phelps that pisses me off. If you’re in the olympics, you’re competing on behalf of your country, not for personal pride. Phelps, (and I’m sure alot of our other athletes as well, just Phelps stands out the most) is over there for himself and nobody else.
That’s the ideal, but are there really athletes out there that compete for the glory of their country only? I really don’t know.
I’m not saying it should be country’s glory only, but your country’s glory should be placed above your own. I’m guessing that that actually is the case for alot of the asian athletes.
I had a different take on the Olympics. I’ve always felt it was about the individual achievment. I didn’t get up at 5:30 every morning to lift weights, swim a thousand times around the pool, and have a breakfast of celery powder and raw eggs. Phelps did. Not my achievement. His. He has given his country credit for the opportunies he was afforded, but that is all he owes it. If it becomes about ‘competing on behalf of you country’ it invites politics and predjudices into an arena it doesn’t belong. If you’re in the olympics, you have fought and cried and bled for your sport and your support system to become the embodiment of human will and transcendance. I won’t take credit for something Phelps did just because I come from the same country. Not to take anything away from the Special Olympics, though. Those operate on a much more beautiful level of humanity, and I will be there when they go to Idaho.
er, /Michael/ Phelps, rather.
What, you mean Bush is dumb? Good one! Nobody’s ever heard that before.
President Bush is dumb? So, that’t why he invaded the wrong country! I thought it was so VP Cheney’s old company could get billions in corporate welfare.
Watch out….Soon the protesters will be on this place like a Ben Stiller movie!
He’s… doing it wrong.
Special spelling fail…
Recognising purposeful misspelling fail.
Commenting on recognition of spelling fail fail
Misspelling Recognizing while trying to fail someone elses spelling fail fail
and yes, the world just imploded
recognising is spelled properly, in Queen’s English (ie pretty much everywhere but the US).
Not recognising that the US consistently spells a multitude of words wrong… Fail.
We don’t spell them wrong, we spell them correctly for American English, which is different from Canadian English or British English, or so on. American English developed like any other dialect, that doesn’t make it wrong, that just makes it different. On the other hand, I am sad to see that many Americans don’t realize that other English speaking countries sometimes spell words differently than us. International knowledge fail on them.
I was being a tad facetious. I’ve always had ‘Aussie Ears’, and I spell everything in that manner. *shrug*
Sorry, my need to instruct overwhelms me sometimes.
I personally have always been partial to the british spellings. Mainly how they always add the u to words like armour colour etc.
Uh . . . the English didn’t ADD the U–we left it out. Cant splain y, just prolly coz we dont spel ril gud. Hey, sounds like a LOL?
You guys would enjoy the book “The Story of English”. It is the history of the language, from its Frisian, Norse, German, French, Latin, and other roots, and its dispersion into the “Englishes” of today.
It makes fascinating observations and raises interesting questions. Is Scottish a language or a dialect? It claims that American English sounds rather antiquated to British English speakers, as pronunciation and expressions have been frozen since the colonists’ emigration. “Bust” (as in “California or Bust”) comes from “burst”. “Sassy” comes from “saucy”. To be “the spittin’ image” of someone originally meant to “the spirit and image” of that person. It goes on and on. A great read.

Interesting.
I’ll have to look it up. I don’t know if my love for the English language inspired my studies into Norse, German, Gaelic, and other languages (ancient and contemporary) of the region, or rather if it were my interest in ancient languages that spurred my delve into English. Thanks for the wonderful recommendation. 
So glad TheLarrikin replied to this comment! I love etymology and linguistics! I’m gonna check it out, too
Seems you can pick up a paperback online for a buck + ~$6 Shipping. Nice.
Linguistics is my ‘thang’.
I’m happy to find another with shared interest on this site. ^_^
Did you know that the words “Gallic”, “Gaelic”, and “Celtic” all come from the same root, and that the peoples were once closely related? Before WW II, small farmers would take a ferry from Brittany to sell vegetables in Cardiff–where they could communicate acceptably with the Welsh!
Glad to find some fellow linguofreaks.
who is the author?
BEAUTIFUL. One of the best in a long time. It’s a shame we got stuck with the idiot for as long as we did, but soon that problem will be rectified.
*chuckle*
If things get worse I’d like to meet you in person and get your opinion then….unless you keep drinking the far left liberal koolade.
Are you kidding? Even as Anti-Bush lols go this one is pretty lame. There have been FAR better recently.
Corn one is still my favorite.
I don’t think anything will beat the corn one. His expression is just too perfect.
You’re mad cause there’s no hot chicks in this one, admit it!! ;D
You got me. So you set a date for our wedding yet?
I was just getting ready to start working on thinking about it, got any preferences?
December 21st, 2012 would be good for me.
… The world will end … on my birf-dayz
NOOOOOO!!!!!!!!
booked!
Great! I look forward to our happy and wonderful life together. How do you feel about kids?
Kids are fine in theory. Huge responsibility. How about you?
Will I be invited?
Well met fellow heathen. There is an off chance that the problem won’t be rectified, we DO have Dubya ver 2.0 running, so don’t completely relax just yet.
Wow! The Libtards here have picked on Catholics, wounded soldiers and now mentally handicapped people. Way to go, Liberals! Whats next? Eating babies ?
Ooops! You already did that one….
So…what’s your point?
Catholics aren’t deserving of being ‘picked on’. Do you want a list of the douchenozzle things the catholic church has done and gotten away with scott free, or would presentation of facts make you cry?
Avoiding the subject of this, aren’t you?
I don’t know if this is particularly what Kurt meant, but most of the LOLs I’ve seen here are picking on Catholic or Catholicism, but on the pope.
Also that the Church has enough unrepentant skeletons in her closet to make an assortment of Benedict-based LOLs seem dreadfully minor in comparison.
Finally, as a liberal, I’ve never made fun of the mentally retarded, other nonpapal Catholics, or wounded soldiers: way to lump collective.
“way to lump collective”
Yeah, I tried to have this conversation earlier but… (TC listened to me though!)
Thanks for saving me a post herb, of course I’m posting to thank you for saving me a post, so I guess that kind of cancels out. I don’t know, I didn’t major in interweb forum math. But since I’ve already started this post, I am going to add one little thing. I have nothing against Catholics, or Baptists, or Seventh Day Adventists, or any other christian, regardless of denomination. (Except Jehovas Witnesses and Mormons creep me out a little) HOWEVER, The churches they belong to, that’s what I have a problem with.
Oh, and those Christians who feel it is their moral duty to inform me that I’m going to hell for being a pagan? Yeah, you guys can piss off.
I don’t know if you’ve moved on, but… Same’o, same’o. Again, your point is?
If Catholics continue supporting “The Church” through all its evils and deceptions, they deserve to be mocked. By staying, they are supporting its practices. Supposedly, they have brains and are capable of thinking for themselves.
Yea, “the Liberals”…. Fact: generalisation is bad, and it fails.
Correction: Generalisation is usually bad. It is good if it is true, but here it is not.
Isn’t saying generalisation is bad in and of itself a generalisation, and therefore bad? But I do agree with Piman, it usually is bad, and actually dangerous I think.
At least he’s hitting the ball and it’s not hitting him, that’s about all I can ask for I guess. There have been worse and more comprimising photos, some still in the queue.
I’d pay money to see that. Hell I’d pay to see that happen to ANY president. Pay even more to see it happen to the pope.
He has an IQ of 125 which is statiscially higher than you
Too bad that A: statistics can be manipulated, B: I’m sure a lot of people here have higher IQ’s (I know I do), and C: the IQ test isn’t a measure of your intelligence, it’s a measure of your ability to learn. There is a vast difference.
It is less than that. It is a measure of your ability to do IQ tests, nothing more. The intention might be to measure ability to learn, but that isn’t the outcome.
100 is the median IQ im not saying more intelligence im saying a higher intelligence quotion
Quotient. not quotion. Sorry, not bashing, just felt the need to point that out.
So Bush has the ABILITY to learn, he just chooses not to.
So victoria, if statistics can be manipulated what makes a 23% approval rating of bush of any signifance.
Funny how you choose what applies and what does.
Typical libtard eh?
Yeah, and MENSA is beating down his door to recruit him…
MENSA is for wankers.
So you’re saying they’d take Bush in a heartbeat?
Sorry, mine’s 140.
Online tests have mine at 140 as well, but the only one I had administered ranked me at 139. Jerks.
I could mention that these tests are geared towards middle-upper class whiteys, but I won’t.
(I’m a transplanted New-England white-boy from the lower class, now tenuously clinging to the middle class, just in case the sarcasm font doesn’t carry through.)
THIS SHOULD BE ON FAILBLOG FOR YOUR EPIC SPELLING FAIL.
And you should seek help for your epic obvious fail.
This could hurt quite a lot if the ball hit his hands, with all those fingers crossed…
would be funny, tho.
Why has this place gotten full of the liberal ad-nauseum bush bashing all of a sudden? This place used to be really funny, but this is getting old.
Guess this place is getting flooded with the liberal crybabies that are still butthurt over not having the white house handed to them in 2000.
I’d say, let’s bash the traitorous Pelosi, but I’d probably be called sexist and intolerant. Because liberals are SO tolerant and accepting of everything. Yeah.
you know, going from namecalling with terms like liberal crybabies, or libtards, or libby wimps or any of the other oh so clever *sarcasm* nicknames you have for liberals, then going on to bash them as being intolerant is the very definition of hipocrysy
Typical libtard intolerance.

So very true.
I know some autistic kids who could talk circles around him. Seriously.
Comparing Bush to Special Olympians is just insulting to Special Olympians.
Didn’t this start out as a joke??
