I never knew Hillary visited with JFK.
You are SUCH an asshole.
Imagine no self important idiots.
ok, you start.
Actually, I didn’t.
Relax kids.
Care for some bran muffins?
They’re filled with yummy heart-healthy fiber and might expunge corn-cobs from dark places.
I also recommend imagining whirrled peas.
— much yummier than name-calling.
I guess Hillary is off limits for jokes now. Next someone is going to say we can’t make fun of GWB. Oh the horrors.
There’s a time and a place, that’s all. It’s too early in the morning for partisan jokes, especially a Hillary joke, especially when we have ponies in the first LOL. Look at the pretty pony!
Partisan? Heck, I thought everyone made fun of Hillary.
now now people, calm down. bitter troll likes hillary ….but lets face it the woman is scarey ugly.
her daughter got hot thou
That’s true. Who would’ve guessed Chelsea would’ve turned out all right? Actually, I think my mom said that back in ‘93. That was a weird prediction to get right.
back when the repubricans where talking left and right bout how ugly she was, bitter troll was the same age more or less, thought she was not to bad looking then.
I could give a flying flip at a rolling doughnut about the Hillary joke.
I’ve just been sick of bi-polar partisan-sh1t for decades.
Anyone got a decent new party to hang out with?
Screw Dumb Elephants and Obstinate Donkeys
How ’bout a
– Wise Old Horned Owl? damn. endangered.
– Clever Red Wolf? damn. endangered.
– Patriotic Bald Eagle? damn. endangered and stoopid.
I like the green rainbows, but their mascot oughta be a Leprechaun – which is far too Irish-American, don’t you think?
Go Go Gadget Political party!
@ Ivan – After some of the stretches I’ve seen on here for GWB I can’t believe anybody would get mad about it, especially considering it was just a day ago when a lot of people were making fun of Hillary.
@ justacarolinian – Not the right time man.
Let me reiterate. Attack her politics. Attack her stance, or things she has said or done. STOP attacking what she looks like. I don’t (and have NEVER and will NEVER) go after someone on how they look. That’s baby tactics.
Someone IS acting like a baby…
So no one here has ever called Bush McChimp, right? Not that *I* care, he does have that quality about him. But let’s not have a double standard.
Ivan, you know bitter troll is a dirty liberal too. but bitter troll has to say that as long as hillary puts herself out there she is open to that stuff too. We can make fun of the evil evil repubrikans and conseritives. we have to allow them to make fun of us back. Best thing to do is just laugh with them when its funny. and that was kinda funny…thou bitter troll thinks she dont look horseish…more…scarecrow
Yo BT, Imma let you finish ok? But I just gotta say, Ray Bolger was the best scarecrow of all time! OF ALL TIME!
-stands there with his troll award looking around and not knowing what to do now- ya….was a nice scarecrow..bitter troll is wearing a prom dress..i can haz microfone back?
I’ve never called GWB “McChimp”. But it looks like I need a vacation from the school-yard. See ya around, kids.
-hugs ivan-
Ivan, I wasn’t pointing a finger at you specifically. I’m just thinking that I have seen other people say it and never a word was said about it. All I’m saying is don’t let it get you upset when people make fun of Hillary’s looks, ok? I mean hell, Obama’s ears get made fun of all the time, no?
Actually, I simply thought it was funny. You are implying things that you don’t know. Personally I think you need to take your meds today. And I have seen you say much worse things about many people.
As far as her looks, no that wasn’t the reason why. More like the way she behaves.
And I could care less if you like it or not. And for the record, you are the one being an ass here. Grow up little BOY.
rush is fat
that chicago guy who sold obama’s seat has horrid hair
al franklen looks like a muppet
hillary is like lady palapatin
palin is HAWT
obama has big will smith ears
McCain is like a evil steve martain
bush DOES look like a shaved chimp
biden….well…thats a long list
Cheney…thats a scarey list
a horse is a horse of course of course
and no one can talk to a horse of course
that is of course unless the horse
is the famous MR ED!!!
Go right to the source and ask the horse
he’s give you the answers that you endorse
he’s always on a steady course
TALK TO MR ED
I agree that Ivan flew off the handle, but I don’t see any problem with defending Hillary if he thinks that strongly about it. My main issue was that it was a pot shot at someone who had nothing to do with anything. It would be, uh, hypocritical of me to criticize someone for making fun of someone else’s looks after the way I (and many others) hammered Ann Coulter in the “Coulter is a trannie” LOL. On the other hand, that witch deserved every word of it.
bah justa had every right to take that stab at hillary, honestly it could of been funny had he not followed up with a all to eager lets argue with ivan. ivan started it , no doubt, justa kept taunting after the joke.
Yeah.. ya know, I’m sorry… but Hillary looks like Palpatine on her bad days, Ann Coulter looks like a Man on her best days, and Dumbo is suing Obama for trademark infringement.
wonder who has better lawyers, disney or the US president…
Yeah, haven’t you noticed several of us here are Floydists? Come join us, we have cool music, great food (thanks Rando!), and a plethora of mind altering drugs (thanks charro!)
*hallucinates* Eddie, when did you get a Pink Elephant?
Why are you calling me a pink elephant, charro? What the hell did you take?

sorry, couldn’t resist!
I was just waiting for somebody to say that!
Awwww, butthurt much? If someone had replaced the name Hillary with Palin, I’m sure you would have been all for it.
There would be about a 200 comment thread cheering me on right now.
Palin *is* an idiot, but it’s been done. Many of us would just roll our eyes, not because we support Palin in any way, but because it’s not original.
At least she isn’t under sniper fire. (I don’t care for either, to tell the truth)
I actually supported Hillary for president before Obama ran away with the nomination. Primarily for the reasons that a lot of people hate her. LOL
They both are a few screws short of a hardware store.
Look, I don’t care if you attack her politics. Go for it! But GOD DAMN I’m sick and fu(king tired of everyone attacking her looks. The woman is intelligent, but she doesn’t look like Elle fu(king McPhearson, so let’s all call attack what she looks like. Oh, and while we’re at it, let’s make fun of her pant-suits. When I attack the right, it’s for their political stance, and their wing-nut attitudes. NOT their looks.
When you can come back with adult commentary, and not school-yard bully tactics, I’ll spar with you. Until then (to borrow a phrase from Rando) STFUGTFOESADITOP.
Thank you. I’ll let you know where to send the royalties.
Ok little boy. Did you not notice “both” in my above comment?
I think you need a little time in the corner to think about your temper tantrum.
In fact, no where on this page have I stated anything about Hillary’s looks. Just for the record, she can look nice, but like the rest of us, can be photographed from a bad angle. She is not aging well, I will say that. And that voice, well, she does sound like a ranting ex wife.
I think you need one of those bran muffins from an earlier, you must be constipated or something. Sheesh.
justa..yes he is over reacting..and is wrong…do you really need to keep pokeing him with a stick for fun? how about you stop acting childish now and let it go.
Actually, I just came back after several hours and saw the rant. And spoke my mind. I don’t recall him running to Hillary’s rescue when others were on her about driving Bill to Monica. But then again, that was liberals that were doing it. My joke this morning could have been anyone, and it wasn’t about looks, just the blunt end of a funny. Nor have I ever seen him say a word when other politicians got snarked about looks.
As far as what I think about the so called smartest woman in the world, she has been caught in to many lies for me.
Muffin anyone?
Oh, I wouldn’t call her the smartest by any stretch. But neither is she a blithering idiot on the level of say, Janeane Garofalo.
oh hillary is sneaky and cleaver. she is smart and very wicked. even her friends admit this…but for those reasons bitter troll supported her instead of obama. because in the end she will get things done…even if she has to drive you off a bridge to do it
Which is exactly why I said I supported her for the reasons that other people hate her. It’s that devious, wicked cleverness that would’ve made her a viciously effective president.
mmhmmmm. and hearing news people say the first husband former president bill clinton, when ever they talk about slick willie would crack bitter troll up
I know, right? I don’t think Bill would mind if it meant getting to return to the White House (if Hillary would let him). Plus, the fact that she is a former first lady means she has 8 years already of knowing how the White House works. And this time, SHE could be the one with the intern in the Oval Office! Maybe 2016.
if hillary has a fat chick in the oval office…bitter troll dont wanna know about it
C’mon, bitter troll, people have been suggesting that about her for years. It would explain a little of why she puts up with Bill.
pfft she stays with whore hungry bill for politikal reasons.
she is the evil mastermind and he is the charming friendly mildly drunken hill billy people can relate to.
its pinky and the brain…if pinky was trying to hump your sister
Yeah, that’s true. I was mostly making a funny.
please, bitter troll realizes this, bitter troll not stoopid. but anything to fendoff the mental image of hillary and monica AHHH ITS IN MAH BITTER BITTER HEAD IT BURNS IT BURNS HELP HELP CHARRO HELP BITTER TROLL AHHHHHHHHHHhhhhhhhh
*lifts blouse*
Is that better bitter?
*shakily sits down on a chair*
I feel as if millions of voices cried out in terror and were suddenly silenced…
-smiles as he looks to charro- much better, sanity restored…mmmm warm and soft
Is this where you make the “leave Hillary alone” youtube video? You are such a hypocrite.
I just pictured Ivan in a blonde wig crying “leave Hillary alone.” That’s actually a great mental image, and I hope Ivan does it.
-tingles- someone is wrong on the internet, bitter troll’s bitter troll sense is tingleing…..
lol…mind bleach…mind bleach
please note the difference between cheering you on and defending your right to make snide comments.
dont like what you said, true, but you got the rights to say it
To tell the truth BT, Hillary was just a *random* politician. I could have said Dick Cheney, or on second thought, Camilla Parker Bowels would have been funnier. I actually thought a chuckle would be a good start to the day.
bitter troll dont think of cheney as a pony type…bitter troll didnt really think it was that funny, not cause it was hillary, cause he dont think of cute pony when he thinks of hillary too.
now if JFK was giveing kids a creepy crow to husht hem up about the blonde…might fit more
I’ve NEVER attacked Sarah Palin for her looks. Her politics, yes. Her wing-nut ideals, yes. I’ve just had it with you trolls that attack for looks. I stopped that when I got out of junior high. Grow up.
“He’s far from unattractive. He’s one of the most beautiful men I’ve ever seen. But his soul is black and sticky, like tar on a hot day. Just sayin’.” The “He” you are refering to is Ann Coulter.
“Actually, we go with the obvious joke, and in Coulters case, that adam’s apple and her mannerisms leaves her wide open. Just sayin’.”
“I’m happy for you Diss, and I’mma let you finish, but Lucy’s Mom has the best adam’s apple comment of all time. OF ALL TIME”
Well played sir, well played. To be honest, I hove no idea if either of the individuals mentioned so far are ugly or not, but I don’t really care. I think we can all agree, though, that at the very least they don’t photograph well.
P.S. A pony is indeed the coolest white-house pet ever.
Agreed on the pony…..and Ann Coulter does have a large adams apple lol.
She’s always looked like one of those “unwrapped” egyptian mummies to me. Creepy. She seriously needs a sandwich, or perhaps she’s just a vampire? I dunno, but at least she can have her picture taken without having some ridiculous “I’m a moron” look on her face, unlike Hillary it would seem.
If it had been about palin, I for one would have been mad at the insult to the pony!
TOOOOOOOOOOOOO SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOONNNN!!!
OOOkkkaaayy…..sorry, you will let me know when the time is right ?
It’s been about a year now, n00bs should be over it by now. Don’t cut the whiners any slack! Also, that pony is probably has more rational thought processes than Mrs. Palin.
after 50 years or so? the pony is most likely dead man….but your right still
Yeah, when was the last time you saw a pony quit being governor? Oh, uh, hmmm…
think of all the people in russia who watched her quit, being able to see her house and all
And they laughed and pointed just like we did.
No because that pony was probably extremely well bred with a kind, smart disposition so it would not be fitting.
Socks has grown rather since he left the White House, hasn’t he?
I wouldn’t dare equus-tion your felines.
Buddy was an all right White House pet, but Socks was my mane favorite.
It was saddle right; these things stirrup a lot of emotion.I’m sure it reigned tears when he died.
It would behoove me to say neigh to this whole thread and ride off into the sunset. Just me and my pygmy pony….over by the dental floss bush.
The pony was called Macaroni. That makes me first pasta post.
To be frank, za pparticularly peculiar punruns mustanger many posters.
Tied to your saddlebag….is that a real poncho or is that a Sears poncho?
Honey, this filly has *no* saddlebags …
*brak weighs the idea of suggesting a few laps around the track…..as his mind drifts back to a Bogey-Bacall exchange in The Big Sleep*
You know how to whittle your waist, don’t you, brak?
You just put your whips together and… whoa!
*Lights cigarette, leans back in chair, does the Bogey whistle and smiles wide*
Ever been bit by a dead bee?
I’d rather you wouldn’t call me a dead bee. I’m a little too … over pollinated … to take it kindly.
Oh I’m sure there’s nothing dead about you, honey. Hive had my eye on you!
You know, brak, I wouldn’t put it past you, what with that big … probiscus. I didn’t know you were a hotel detective.
*does a quick costume change*
Nick Danger, Third Eye at your service. ma’m!

How can I bee of assistance? I’m a real discreet worker.
*walks over to window, opens compact, combs honey colored locks*
You know, Nick, if you keep falling this hard for your clients you could break your nectar …
So, baby….what the compound eye lowdown on this case?
*This dame had me buzzin’ right from the word go. She had a pair of stingers that just wouldn’t quit….and she looked like she knew how to throw ‘em too. But I had questions. Who was she? What was her game? And….how do I make my voice do this?*
*sunlight slices through venetian blinds*
It’s … it’s swarm in here I … I … what was it you were droning on about?
Just trying to figure out wax going on. Could turn out to bee dangerous bzzzzness.
I’ll call this case…The Queen Bee Caper.
Caper?
*she flashes a smile he could feel in his hip pocket*
Well I’m in a pickle, but to be honest I belong in this office like a pearl onion on a banana split.
*I pulled down the shade and slid my secretary back under the couch. I looked the dame up and down….how did she know about my pickle?? And why was she here on a Sundae? I pulled the bottle of scotch out of my hat stand and put it on the desk with a cheap bar glass*
So baby…how about a belt? Then we can talk about your case. Hope you’re not gonna waist my time.
(wondering if pitty is a Firesign Theater fan)
Is ziti only one you could come up with?
No, I had a fusili ones….
uh oh, I’m alfredo you now…
Dude….a penne for your thoughts.

Magical!

Who’s there?
Mush …
OMG….you’ve taken it to the next level again. A whole new can of minestrone! OK……
Mush who?
Mushroom mention vermicelli while we’re eating?
*brak rolls over on his back, paws in the air, in abject surrender*
Do you realize what you’ve done here? It’s a whole new life form. The knock knock pun run! My god, woman! What fruit will this bear?
Bear fruit? Paw paws, of course!
You know, brak, I wouldn’t put it past you, what with that big … probiscus. I didn’t know you were a hotel detective.
These nesting fails can be really spooky … and eyrie.
*theramin*
ooooooWEEEEEOOOOOOOooooooooooo
Glad you helped out. I was canneloni there for a moment
Glad you didn’t go into a shell, man!
No, I’m all gigli now.
Had JFK rode on this, Oswald wouldn’t have stood a chance
Well, he did ride on a lot of other things, and that didn’t help him.
I’d like to think it made him die fairly happy though.
Hey, we have part of one in the White House now!
You’re an idiot.
Total fail on insult for slowboat407 (accidentally appropriate name?) There is a BIG difference between a pony and a jackass, you twit!
ref: pony v stud note below.
Besides, I figure Barack’s more green than dem… Dang 2 party system. Why can’t we all just get back to nature and b frends?
Three reasons:
- Nasty
- Brutish
- Short
I feel like an idiot, but I’m not sure what you’re getting at.
It’s from Thomas Hobbes’ description of the state of nature (life with no government) in Leviathan — he describes it as a “war of all against all” and says that life would be “solitary, poor, nasty, brutish, and short”. (I forgot about the first two, apparently.)
Ah, okay. Thank you.
Ah, but America with three political parties is not life with no gov’t.
We have three Branches, but two viable Parties. This is flawed. Inevitably the parties gain clout by becoming moderates… and then the parties start to look more like each other, smacking each other over petty power paradigms than over matters that really matter.
Two Parties Compete. Three Parties Collaborate.
We really need Dem, Rep and Green. Rlly.
Besides, parties are fun. Who wouldn’t want more parties?
You obviously didn’t understand what I said, and apparently you didn’t understand what *you* said, either, to start this whole thing off. You’re a complete and utter idiot — I’m not even going to bother.
Ah that Dhoti….knoooooows how to sweet talk the ladies.
The dumb ones aren’t worth it. What’s next — giving a gold star to the moron who does all the puns?
There are a number of us. We’re all funnier than you.
bitter troll smells funny, does that count?
Absolutely! Funny is funny, nasal or otherwise.
Brak, we kind of assumed self-absorption and blinding stupidity went with the territory, but thanks for pointing it out.
Bitter, remember Pigpen from Peanuts? His squiggles are funnier than Brak’s puns. I think you’re fine.
And you epitomize both, of course. Thank YOU for pointing it out.
I like the puns. Sure, they’re corny, but they’re fun.
And are usually funnier than any given LOL featured (except for mine, ‘cos those are GENIUS. Heh.)
I don’t even want to insult Brak back. It feels wrong, like tripping the kid in the crash helmet.
I have the Ultra-DeLux model helmet (with racing stripes, if you please) so try as you will, I will remain uninjured.
Sad to hear that you can’t take a joke. In the future I will refrain from trying to engage in humor with you. You are dismissed.
Never mind the big D. He projects his insecurities about intellectual capacity when he’s ignored. That’s why I think he’s a sock for the big A. But who cares. Lots of silly provocation on here today, jeez.
Yes, I’d imagine that picking out socks is pretty taxing for you. How long does it take you to do your laundry?
What the Klingon says is unimportant, and we do not hear him.
I see him more as a Tribble, and, as you know, the trouble with a Tribble is that its trilling noise seems to produce a tranquilizing effect on the human nervous system.
Mmmm-hmmmmm….*head falls on pitty’s shoulder*….zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz
Wake UP!! We have to make fun of Dhoti some more!!
zzz….!!! HUH….wha…..oh….whew. OK. I propose a Dhoti Memorial Pun Run just for him to be started in a future thread for maximum exposure…your call, as the senior member and Queen of Puns, as to where and when to begin. What do you think?
I think the DMPR will happen spontaneously when a thread gets hijacked by typically scurrilous provocations from a certain member.
I believe you are right. But you didn’t hear it from me. Heh.
I think he was calling Obama a horse’s ass. Which still makes him an idiot.
Quite correct. Being a horse’s ass does indeed make him an idiot.
At least Obama hasn’t started making up his own words yet. Also, an idiot doesn’t graduate Cum Laude from an Ivy League school. Barack won the Nobel Peace Prize, your argument is invalid!
oh but he is, see he really only speaks kanyan, and fakes english…but he fakes it so well we understand up
Actually, it happens all the time — 90% of Harvard undergrads graduate with honors. If you really want to blow your mind, compare Bush’s and Obama’s GPAs after correcting for grade inflation.
grade inflation? so people who got c’s 30 years ago would of gotten A’s 20 years ago?
It’s not quite that extreme — work that would have earned a C 30 or 40 years ago would earn an A in the last ten, but yeah, that’s basically it. (It started happening around the time “C student” stopped becoming synonymous with “average student”.)
Grad inflation or no, magna cum laude is not handed out like jelly beans.
OBJECTION! I thought that Obama was hiding the details of educational career. Also, grade inflation is a real thing, but it doesn’t apply to private institutions. Also, it didn’t really take of until the “No Child Left Behind” act brought test scores and funding into play.
Details are probably hidden, but Latin honors are publicized for all to see–on the graduation programs and all of that. And grade inflation has been around for as long as I’ve been teaching…and no, I didn’t start it!
Harvard Law assigns summa based on GPA, magna to the remaining top 10%, and cum laude to the next 20% — so yeah, they do hand it out pretty freely. (My impression is that, in the olden days, honors of any sort would be restricted to the top 10% or so.)
No1, grade inflation applies to *any* institution that assigns grades. And why are you bringing up NCLB? We’re talking about colleges and law schools here.
And yes, Obama hasn’t shared much beyond his degrees.
And Mr. Bush Jr. still didn’t get any of those. Comparing the two, the conclusion is obvious.
I don’t always know why I bring up what I do. I just do sometimes. NCLB relates to the whole “grade inflation” thing I guess. As for colleges and law schools, the grades are generally based on a grading curve. So inflation wouldn’t apply to them.
Remember what we talked about, No1 — read before speaking.
Bush graduated from Yale in 1968. Obama graduated from Columbia in 1983. In that time, the Ivies have both inflated grades and expanded the number of students that received honors.
You apparently missed the whole point of the discussion. Again.
NCLB applies to *primary* schools — as in NOT colleges. It has ZERO relevance here at all. Got it?
Yes, there’s a curve — and the median and standard deviation of that curve have both gone up over time. That’s kind of exactly how grade inflation works.
How does grade inflation effect grades based on a grading curve? The top 10% will always get A’s, the 10% below them will always get B’s, the 10% below them will always get C’s, etc. etc. Is there something I’m missing?
Who says that’s the one and only curve, used universally by every school? “Grading on the curve” just means that test scores are being normalized consistently — it doesn’t say anything about what the curved scores actually are.
See here: Eugene Volokh explains how the UCLA law school curve was changed.
(And it’s “affect”, not “effect”, in your context.)
I see your point now after reading that, it’s weird but it makes sense. Thanks for the link, I hadn’t heard of adjustments like that. Still, I find grading on a curve shaky, and don’t trust the GPA’s much, but if you are in the top 20% that’s enough to prove intelligence to me. I’m not saying Obama is smarter than Bush or vice-versa. I have no way of telling for sure unless I were to meet them, but my original point was Obama isn’t stupid. I guess the debate got a little sidetracked; not surprising. Politics tend to make that happen.
P.S. My grammar tends to be atrocious on Mondays, there’s nothing I can do about it.
Having employed and tried to employ (i.e. they were unemployable) college graduates for a few decades now, I’m certain that grade inflation, degree inflation, honors inflation all exist to a large extent.
Most BA degrees after 1970 or so are barely worth the highschool diploma of earlier generations. Recent experience with a 2006 4.0 GPA AA degree employee indicated literacy skills that would kept me stuck in 8th grade.
If you throw affirmative action admittance/grading policies into the mix, it only gets worse.
Really? That’s how they do it at Harvard? That’s lame. At my wife’s college (she just got her AA, and transferred to work on her bachelor’s), summa was only for 4.0 students (which she was, btw
), magna was to 3.7-3.9 (I think…I might be off by a fraction of a grade point), and cum laude was I think 3.5-3.7. Or something like that.
There’s a good wikipedia article on cum laude and the differences. Here’s the link: {http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Latin_honors}
I always Cum Laude… I rarely Cum Softly.
It’s sad — my high school’s GPA-based “honors” were more selective than Harvard’s too. (My college didn’t do honors or class ranks, or even provide transcripts with grades — but that was a suicide prevention thing, not some New Agey crap.)
You didn’t go to UC Berkeley by chance, did you? I think it’s one of those touchy-feely-all-the-world-deserves-a-chance colleges.
Nope — other coast. (At least at Cal, for all its moonbeams and rainbows, you can still get a great education if you want one.)
Oh, I know, I was just being facetious.
@ Bitter’s Chet I know what you mean about students graduating without writing skills. We used to have a department head who was allowing students through his communications program without having written one single research paper! (besides the core, that is) He thought video literate was sufficient. He is long gone, the program much improved. But… Grrr!
Eh, my high school went haywire with honors grade points. We had a couple people graduate with a 4.5 GPA. I had a 3.7, but I was buried in the 50’s in class rank. My wife had a 3.9 at her high school and was ranked in the top 10.
No, silly — there’s a difference between a pony and a stud…
Why, because that horse’s back half is part black and part white? RAAAAAAAAAACIST
the photo itself is black and white….racist photo?
Color photography picked up as the civil rights movement was gaining momentum. Coincidence?
No no, “color” photography is still racist. You can’t say colored anymore. Not black & white photography either. It’s African American & Caucasian photography.
and now we know
and knowing is half the battle..
…wait so now the battle is segregated?
Of course. Didn’t you see the South Park movie?
protect our tanks and planes too!
Good call! I’ll be sneakier about it and call it “urban” photography instead.
There you go! Now you avoid the racism and sound a lot hipper as well.
like a beatnik!
Geez Mr Prez! With all that money and power you would think you could afford a shirt for your kid! You’d better act fast before people start to think you weren’t born with a silver spoon in your mouth!
*removes another protective cover from her monitor*
Hey, watch it! Tea can stain!
Seriously though. That kid is running around dressed up like He-Man. That has to put him at risk for the common cold or something.
Well, history tells us that the common cold wasn’t JFK Jr’s biggest problem, so I think he’s okay for now.
I know. I was just pretending that this lol was a modern picture. And if gave me an excuse to use the name “He-Man”. Its really all I can ask for in a lol.
By the power of Greyskull!!!
I know – and Washington powdered his blond hair GREY…
– What’s up with THAT looser?
And did you ever look at Lincoln’s wife? Lord! What a pair!
– How’d they survive their first nationally broadcasted video debate??
Jeesh…
Looser what?
He lost his teeth.
See? George Washington didn’t have good oral hygiene, either. Slacker.
That would make him a LOSER with LOOSER teeth.
I like where your head’s at, but this one’s a lost cause…
I have got to talk to Billy Mays about getting my royalties on those screen protectors. That guy is hard to find these days.
I think he has a new agent. Someone called Peter…something Peter. It’s on the tip of my tongue!
No wonder politics has gone downhill since JFK died. It looks like Bad Horse, the stallion of sin, infiltrated the White House. It was Bad Horse who shot JFK! (Had to add the Paranoid Conspiracy Theory in)
Ending a sentence with a preposition is something up with which I will not put!
The Force is strong in this one!
In Glasgow they end with conjunctions, but…
I’ve noticed that also whenever.
So make the Bad Horse gleeful
Or he’ll make you his mare…
No, sir, the coolest pet was TR’s BEAR.
No, clearly Billy the Pygmy Hippo is the coolest.
Also, Jefferson’s bear could beat up TRs bear.
Coolest pet was Marilyn.
Okay, I gotta admit, that one made me snicker a little.
Yep, +1 interwebs for that one.
Too bad you can’t get a Marilyn at the pet store anymore. “I swear she’s housebroken, and she can sleep in our bed, sweetheart!”
Well, JFK kind of did treat her like a pet store pet. Flushed down the toilet when he was bored. Or so the conspiracy nuts say.
*snort*
Meh.
clearly, your parents never took you to carnivals with pony rides.
You poor deprived child…
That’s true. I’ve never ridden a horse, including ponies.
Pony rides aren’t as common at carnivals these days.
Horse rides were very popular with Catherine the Great… but that was over in Russia, a very long time ago, and – apparently – a fairly dangerous hobby.
“Horse rides were very popular with Catherine the Great… but that was over in Russia, a very long time ago, and – apparently – a fairly dangerous hobby.”
WTF are you on about?
*sigh*
Urban legend regarding Catherine the Great’s death.
Oh, no, I knew THAT. But that was a terrible segue and that’s what I was questioning (in a rather bitchy way).
Why is everyone so snarky today (me included)?
*singsongs*
Sounds like someone’s got a case of the Mondays!
Yeah…me too.
Monday is my day off. I luvs me some Monday!
bitter troll is snarfy today
snarf snarf
lion-o dont go chaseing that dangerous monster
snarf snarf
Where’s that blasted somophlange?!
What the fukc is a samoflange?!
Save a horse, ride a cowgirl
it’s over rated. ride an elephant when you have a fear of heights, now THATS fun… *twitches at the memory*
goddamn carnivals…
Didn’t one of the early presidents (Adams maybe?) have an alligator in the White House? That’d have to get my vote as best WH pet ever.
It was John Adams. And yeah, thats pretty frickin’ sweet!
He was making custom boots.
no he wasn’t he was breeding an aligator-human hybrid (Humagator for short) for the battle against the lizard men.
Yeah, I’d give you “pet alligator”, unless someone had a lion or a tiger (not just a cat) that is.
Adam’s alligator reportedly lived in one of the bathrooms in the White House, and he liked to use it to scare his guests. His wife, Abigail, had a dog named Satan.
Martin Van Buren had two pet tigers. They were cubs when he got them, but they were still tigers.
I’m waiting for the first Pres family with a ferret. The First Weasel, FTW!
Why should I be tarred with the epithet “looney” merely because I have a pet halibut? I’ve heard tell that Sir Gerald Nabarro has a pet prawn called Simon, and you wouldn’t call Sir Gerald a loony, would you? Furthermore, Dawn Palethorpe, the lady show jumper had a clam called Sir Stafford after the late Chancellor. Alan Bullock had two Pikes both called Norman, and the late, great Marcel Proust had an ‘addock! If you’re calling the author of ‘A La Recherche du Temps Perdu’ a loony, I shall have to ask you to step outside!!
I have a halfabee. Named Eric.
Adams totally wins coolest pets!
I wonder how long it took him to choose the pony.
>.>
<.<
Come on, with the SNL skit railing him for how long Obama took to pick the dog, I HAD to!
Crap, nevermind. Teddy Roosevelt wins..
“Also: lion, hyena, wildcat, coyote, five bears, two parrots, zebra, barn owl, snakes, lizards, rats, roosters, raccoon”
I was totally going to say Roosevelt. He was a Man’s Man;)
He’s a man’s man? Teddy Roosevelt was owned by another man?!? I thought that had been outlawed by then!!!!
Teddy Roosevelt for prez 2012!
and a badger
I was in college when JFK went to the White House, and really liked him. It was devastating when he was assassinated– we don’t do that in this country! Well, it turned out we do and did again.
Looking at that pony picture reminded me that Caroline’s whole (immediate) family has died – both parents and her brother.
And now her uncle/foster father. Ouch. Hope the cousins are close.
For real, for a family with everyone born with a silver spoon in their mouths, they certainly suffer a fair amount of heartbreak. :-\ No amount of money or power can make that better.
Until they invent cloning.
To be fair, Teddy was in his late 70s, so while I’m sure it was sad for his family, death from natural causes is not unexpected at that age.
But in general…yeah, they seem kinda jinxed.
Even when a person has had a long life, it sucks when they’re gone.

OK topic change. I’m actually kind of happy that the Red Socks have lived up to their old tradition of snatching defeat from the hands of victory! Now all of those newbie fans will know what it is REALLY like to be a fan of the BoSox! heh heh…
—Well that, and my students will actually get some sleep this fall!
I see your BoSox and I raise you Matt Holliday, Ryan Franklin and the Cardinals who ended up getting pathetically swept after Holliday took a fly ball to the junk. Idiot.
I have a friend with the same name…he’s getting quite a kick out of it. (For about 5 days his facebook status was some version of “Hey, I lost it in the lights!”
I was a “fan” of Holliday on FB, and had a good laugh when they posted a pic of him getting nailed with the ball on the FB fan page.
I, for one, am glad that the horse doesn’t have an erection.
Well there’s always that.
Kennedy had.
Kennedy had what? That’s not a complete sentence.
look at his name, clearly its short for Kenya…he is a spy for OBAMA !!!!
camilla parker bowls`?
How dare you insult poor Macaroni like that?
j.f.k.
HELL YEAH
!!!! SUBJECT CHANGE !!!!!
Dogs are loving and sweet.
Cats are cuddly and adorable.
But neither of them have the ability to teach children important life lessons like a pony can. (Speaking from personal experience) Lessons like:
When you fall off, get up, stop crying, and get back on.
Learn to bend or the outcome may be twice as painful.
Always carry gum for those days you get a mouthful of dirt.
Crying and whining doesn’t change the mind of someone determined not to listen.
Just because the ride is rough, don’t bail right away. The outcome may surprise you.
Next??
dogs can teach children that you have to take care of something that depends on you
cats can teach how to cry and bleed
“cats can teach how to cry and bleed”
A very valuable lesson in preparation for the school yard.
Cat’s also teach you that sometimes, not matter how much you care about something/someone, they won’t always care that much about you back.
They also teach you how to exploit someone’s weaknesses, such as allergies.
The Thoroughbred of sin.
And I suppose this tops the Hyena Theodore Rosevent kept?
As if.
That sure is a weedy looking pony that made it to the White House. Small head, thick neck, low withers, huge butt. o.O
Just asking..how can it be *weedy* when it has a big butt, thick neck and good sized barrel? I thought it was a decent pony. Plus I am sure disposition was considered over being a conformation champion pony.
I think of weedy as in feral ponies. Slight and starved looking with both front legs trying to come out of the same place in the chest. Not trying to argue here … I just think Macaroni was a decent little pony.
When I was 4 years old, I had a crush on Caroline (who was 5). She really was a princess compared to the scruffy little girls in my neighborhood, who usually had grass stains on their clothes and grape jelly on their face.
Everybody knows that the best White House pet was Josiah the badger, the badger Teddy Roosevelt received when a small girl threw the critter at him.
Ya know, reading the above made me remember what I miss about this place as well as what I am glad to be without. Kinda like picking up an old book, skimming it, and realizing why I haven’t read it in a while but keeping the good memories alive.
Carry on.
With all due respect to President Kennedy but not only did Theodore Roosevelt own a pony but he also had a pet FREAKIN’ HYENA!
Also worth noting: Calvin Coolidge has several dogs (a terrier, Airedale, a sheepdog, a bulldog, a shepherd, a birder, three collies, and two chows), three canaries, three cats, two raccoons, a donkey, a freekin’ bobcat, a thrush, a goose, a mockingbird, a bear, an antelope, a wallaby, a pygmy hippo, and some lion cubs.
There’ve been some interesting pets in the White House: http://www.petplace.com/dogs/top-10-strangest-presidential-pets/page1.aspx
