MEL GIBSON DIVORCE: Wife Files Papers In Split

But I thought the church opposed divorce.
Speaking of Catholics, Obama will be speaking at Georgetown University in about two hours.
Andy Martin might qualify (actually over qualify) for the hall of shame:
“Thank you President George W. Bush for rescuing Captain Richard Phillips”

The right wing loonies should find a new name for their teabag protest. Check out this definition in the Urban Dictionary. LMAO!! They are so stupid!!

More from Andy Martin:
“This is our first preliminary letter to update you and advise you if you wish to either (1) financially support the new investigative trip or (2) join the team in Hawai’i or (3) do both.
If funded, “Operation Aloha Obama II” will launch in Honolulu on May 9th and conclude on May 14th.”
He’s trying to get donors to support a trip to Hawaii so he can investigate Obama’s birth certificate.
Doh! I wish I would have thought of that. Nothin’ sweeter that getting wingnuts to pay for your vacation to Hawaii 😉
so this deal is called “Operation Aloha Obama II”. Begs the question, What was the outcome of “Operation Aloha Obama I”?
Funny you should ask Doots:
“Last October, “Operation Aloha Obama” was spectacularly successful and even drew mainstream media attention. In the middle of our investigation, Obama announced plans to bring his entourage back to Honolulu.
With a proven record of past success we are now asking for your immediate help.”

Of course, the wall should include Rush, Billo, Newt, Glenn, and the entire Fox News Team.
Nanny, that was more information than I needed from the Urban Dictionary — LOL!!!
Afternoon peeps
eprof2, It is a bit much, isn’t it? But damn! Those repugs just have no idea what they are saying!
Bev go to youtube and find a Rick Warren vid you’d like to me to post to the wall, and send it to me using the form on the page.
Maybe they do!?! I’ve always thought the Repugs were a little kinky — maybe a lot kinky!
LOL! Good point, eprof2. After all, they do seem to get into more than their share of “compromising” situations.
Is there anything that could be more unattractive than kinky repugs?
*shudder*
So well put, Nanny. Almost lost my coffee on the line of the day!
Palin’s AG Pick Defended KKK Statue, Mocked Offended Student
Wayne Anthony Ross has come under intense scrutiny since the Alaska Governor and former vice presidential candidate announced his nomination. His resume includes derogatory remarks about homosexuals, accusations of sexism, and bizarre comments downplaying the fallout of the Exxon Valdez oil spill. But his most controversial incident may have come in December 1991, when he penned an op-ed for the Anchorage Times, a copy of which was obtained by the Huffington Post (see below), entitled “KKK ‘art’ project gets ‘A’ for courage.”

70 years ago today Steinbeck’s “The Grapes of Wrath” was first published…
“Former Qwest chief executive Joe Nacchio was driven in a dark SUV with tinted windows to a federal prison today in Pennsylvania for the start of a six-year term.
Nacchio, convicted of illegal insider trading in 2007, was in the back seat, according to a source. ”

Obama Agrees: Franken Won The Most Votes

It’s beginning to look like the Dems are going to start ramping up the pressure for Coleman to get out. I have a feeling Franken will be seated in about two weeks.
When they walking the dog out in front of the cameras?
Tax Day Tea Parties Officially Endorsed By Republican Party
http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2009/04/14/tax-day-tea-parties-offic_n_186788.html
Really dump, it’s only going to be the ugliest of the ugly that is going to show up for the teabagging.
just heard Ron Paul on MSNBC what an imbecile. The US dodged a big bullet by ignoring him.
Bo Obama is making his first press conference right now on MSNBC. Very cute mutt.
Yeah I saw ron paul ,talk about a bad case of cranky old man syndrome!
Looks like Jesse Jackson, Jr. may be implicated in this Blago mess.
As for Ron Paul, you nailed it, Doots. He’s an imbecile. From what I heard on MSNBC (not sure which show specifically) this tea party thing was originally started by his supporters. Guess they are imbeciles, too. 🙂
New addition to the wall, great vid put out by media matters
Just looked at the new entry. It’s hard to know what to say. Obama is addicting us to heroin???? WOW! Glenn Beck is more delusional than I thought. And more dangerous.
Homeland Security Report Warns Of Rising Right-Wing Extremism
http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2009/04/14/homeland-security-report_n_186834.html
Why am not surprised!
I think Beck needs to stop channeling Aimee Semple McPherson
Ok, Ron Paul is not an idiot. He’s a physician. He’s passionate. He’s a cranky old man. But he stands on principle. He’s not one of the immoral, unethical sell-outs that seem to be populating the current leaders of the Republican party. He has some interesting ideas. Not sure I agree with any of them, but at least he has some interesting ideas, which is a damn site better than the rest of the party of “no.”
Full disclosure, didn’t see him on MSNBC.
I agree he’s not an idiot, crazy as the day is long though, and while I can’t say without doubt if he’s a racist or not, he certainly supports racist, anti-female and anti-poor policies.
19 hits shy of 90,000!
OK, dnd. I stand corrected. Ron Paul is not an idiot. He’s just nuts. And I agree with Brian; if he isn’t a racist himself, well then, he certainly supports racists and misogynists.
maybe, I was saying that he is an imbecile politically… Ok, sure, that’s what I meant. I believe his ideas would exacerbate the problems the US has now. I have not seen anything he has proposed that IMO would even remotely work.
What Doots said. 😉
Ron Paul = principled cranky old man
Pat Buchanan = unprincipled cranky old man
World of difference…
Oh I’ve never said Ron Paul was unprincipled, I wish he was, it’s his principles I don’t like!
Don’t we speak English anymore in the US?
Yesterday I was waiting my turn to see my Prim/Care Dr and next to me was a pleasant woman that was more than willing to share the fact that her husband was a PTSD vet. (Those guys are scary enough without the old lady telling everything she knows about him roughing her up and being an aloholic) Oh, and he is in the early stages of PROSTRATE cancer. She went on and on mispronouncing prostate for about 15 min. Fortunately, I was called and got to miss the rest of her rant about socialized medicine.
Sounds like fun, Doots. Good thing your wait was only 15mins.
Boy Keith is really working the teabag puns!
😆
nanny,
I was so distracted by the word prostrate that missed a lot of what she was saying.
careful there doots, you don’t want to end sounding like a cranky old white guy, Ron Paul has filled that role!
👿
K.O. just pushed a great big PUMA button!
I am an old cranky white guy. Mostly I am two outta three though.
Nanny: Did you send your Urban Dictionary find to KO? He seemed to be smurking each and every time he used the “teabag” word.
