i love to fart in elevators. i like to do it several different ways. sometimes i fart real loud, laught outloud and then act like nothing happened. sometimes i fart silently and yell out i did it and then act like nothing happened. sometimes i fart silently and look around like someone else did it and cough a few times. finally sometimes i fart outloud and then just act like nothing happened. i love doing this. i can't get into an elevators without doing it. it's just so funny to watch people's expressions especially when its a nasty fart.

Are you a fiscally conservative voter/taxpayer? Do you hate to to see taxes wasted on welfare for unwed poor moms who refuse to abort for fear of "going to Hell?" If you are, you know ProLifers force people to have lots of babies who become tithers. It costs $500,000 to support one poor unwed mom & one child to age l8. But see how cheap abortion is. To ten weeks, it costs only $527. To l6 weeks, it's $735. To the end, abortion still costs only $1379. Compare that with $500,000 & see that it saves us taxpayers $498,630!! It means Big Government to pay all those people who dole out welfare, ADC, food stamps, health care & subsidized housing. As a fiscally conservative ProChoicer, i hate Big Government subsidy of poor families. In 1973, the Court made the civil government stop enforcing church law that bans abortion. Roe v Wade says there's a right to privacy concerning abortion. But the best argument for Roe is that it's about MOBILITY of women. It's about our right to MOVE AROUND, to GO where we want to be & that includes going to abortionists. We need taxpaid contraception, voluntary sterilization & abortion. ProChoicers are best money managers as genuine fiscal conservatives.

Only a consevative would get excited about a person whose mind had changed fifteen years later. Since they make a point of ignoring anything which deviates from their collectve narrative . Why would anyone ever change their mind, unless central command orders it. Just wAtch FOx and listen to Rush. It's easy to stay on cue. Rote is cool. A little monotonous, but it sure beats thinking.

You should think before you reply to these things you know. Though your ramble was quite silly, I do agree with you about the Republican party. I fully expe ct them to be the party of ig'No'rance.

Supreme Court Justice Kagan will only maintain the status quo. The appointment of Al Sharpton as head of the Justice Department would have really turned the nation left. He can sniff out a racist better than a hound dog a rabbit. It is unfortunate that his talent is not being employed by the president.

is nothing more than a liberal doorstop. She has never been a judge and therefore her track record is non-existent. She has to many holes in her resume to even qualify for a seat on the highest court, let alone a seat on any court.
If confirmed she would essentially legislate "Social Injustice" from the bench.
The gravity of this particular appointment is that she will have a lifetime appointment. The best thing Republicans can do is stay united, shuffle their feet, slow the process until midterm elections, and filibuster every appointment ad naseum. This time I expect Republicans to be the party of "NO."
