Fuck you all.

Thanks for Slipping that quality in, Pete. (groan)

I was going to give it a boost myself but the powerpoints are few and far between lately.

That's what she said.>> ^sillma:

well that was disappointingly short.

They all talk funny.

>> ^rougy:

I'll look for that.
This is so true. It must be true everywhere, like Germany, Russia. I heard there is a similar feeling in the Netherlands, the north/south thing.
I try really hard not to stereotype southerners. It's just that as I was growing up in rural Colorado, so many of the people with the strongest southern accents also turned out to be the most bigoted and fat-headed. And bullying. In my case they were almost always west-Texans.
I know it's not true across the board, but it's funny how those things get rubbed into your skin.


The funny thing to me is that I live in the South, and I find way more bigoted and fat-headed stuff coming out of Northerners mouths whenever I'm up North. Two examples right in this very video as a matter of fact.

Someone should tag this *nsfw for the racial slur.

What happens if you pour Dettol into a Yakult?

Part 2 @10:08 "What happens if you pour _____ into a _____?"
Anyone get those words?

Are you kidding?

The caller thought they weren't republicans, not because of their political views, but because they were black. That's fucked up, stupid and wrong enough in its own right, and there's nothing "potentially valid" about it. But, lets just say that there are no black people who ever vote republican. Is it potentially valid that this guy can identify the race of someone by the sound of their voice over the phone? I mean, I guess I can see your point in that case because them niggers show nuff do talk funny lawdy lawdy don't they tho?

I don't fault the c-span moderator. It's tough dealing with crazy people on the fly (especially on live tv) but telling this racist asshole that he appreciates his input and understands his frustration is something I'm sure he wishes he could do over again. At least I hope so. He doesn't have to tell him to fuck off, but he could have disconnected him, as they have done to plenty of other whack job callers.

>> ^jwray:

The potentially valid part of his criticism was that people who called in on the republican line didn't seem to really be republicans. The C-Span moderator addressed that concern by saying that C-Span had no way to check or enforce that people were actually calling in on the right line according to their political views. That's better than just spewing profanities at someone.

Thanks! Man, I was in tears at the phone phonetics part!

In reply to this comment by EDD:
*quality standup. Dara is probably my favorite act. Well, him and Jimmy Carr.

I pay homage to this post with this

He's great. Less a caricature comedian, and just a character!

Whenever my dad watches Congressman Frank on Fox News (because that's the only network he watches) he always makes a remark tantamount to "he talks funny".

But I think he's one of the most intelligent and articulate people we've got on the Hill.

Exactly who or 'what' wrote the Holy Bible is really a matter of one's philosophical and religious out look. Some say God wrote it all out, since the dumb humans on the planet were not quite competent to achieve on their own. Some say mortal man write it as an accurate accounting of thoughts and events. Still, others say its used as a teaching tool, in that the stories and events, are merely there to convey concepts and morals that are easy to remeber. Finally, there are those, who say the whole thing is crap and useless.

The percentage figure this group cites could come from any number of sources. Its to bad this group does not explain who their source actually is or isnt. If your going to quote a source, and not give due credit, then you are guilty of plagerism(sp?) (that or, you cant think up stuff on your own that sounds creditable, so you have to steal your material from others who are). One such organization in the USA, that might help on this, is called The Pew Foundation (TPF). They do many of the polls in the USA on a wide range of topics and issues. While the organization leans to the left, it does so from an acedemic point of view, not a political one (like Mr. Hannity, Mr. Beck, Mr. O'Reily, etc). TPF did come out with some figures back during the lead up to the November 4, 2008 presidential election regarding percentages of people of faith, including those who believe the Holy Bible is completely correct and true. As to what that number was, I could not tell you. You'll just have to do the research to find out for yourself.

Just because the two individuals 'talk funny', does not mean their taping of the show was produced outside of the USA. And frankly, those Brits have plenty more stuff, us Americans can make fun of in their country, then they do in ours (we did recently get rid of the white house jester....).

They all talk funny...even the Reuters guy.

Possums are Australian. They look similar, but are more arboreal.


And they talk funny.

^ Who would ever know Seth/Family Guy would ever be that predictable!

It's as if Seth doesn't have any original ideas, but that can't possibly be true because it's a baby, and he has a big head, and he talks funny.

They talk funny

I knew they bowed to the Queen, cos we all do. I think Australia has the same problem...

They talk funny. Canadian?
