I've never "unfriended" anyone (de-friended? whatever) on Facebook but during the Fall election season I did block someone's posts from my feed because she kept posting every stupid anti-Republican/conservative meme involving photoshop under the sun and it became insufferable.

I've since unblocked her posts.

And, ironically, she's been very quiet lately.

You mean like "hope I die before I get old" from the Sixties?

This has been a theme in popular music since the dawn of rock 'n roll.  I think you're reading a little too much into it.

OK, I'll admit it.  If I went to high school with this guy I probably would have given him a wedgie.

At last Rick Santorum makes a statement I can agree with.

And let's be honest, no media caricature of Santorum dampened his support among so many Republican primary voters.  Santorum is simply not at all relatable outside of SoCon circles.

Thanks for that appropriate bumper music.  I was happy to discover that song in my iPhone song library - and now it's my default ringtone.

And, yes, I am a Verizon customer.

Obama has a history of abusing power for political ends.  That's what gives me pause about this program under his watch.

If there's evidence that Bush acted in a similar manner, I'll condemn that.  But everything I've seen and heard about the actions of his administration indicate that the focus was trying to detect and stop potential attacks - and we know his record on that score.

Here's the problem Bubba, a national office holding Republican says something as unnecessary and unwarranted as this and it carries over to the perception of the party as a whole.  It's hard to persuade anyone who would be embarrassed to identify with such idiocy.

BigMedia doesn't need to "assault" this moron, the statement speaks for itself.  And guilt by association is a reality that goes beyond a biased media.

Stand up for principles, yes.  But a comment "qualifying" rape spoken by any white male in this day and age is just plain stupid.

In politics, principles are important but so is good judgment.

Oh good Lord, could you idiots holding or running for office PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE just learn to shut up about the subject or rape and rely on the standard "no comment"?

#40 - not the worst but still pretty bad.

Actually I was expecting a little lower.  Maybe things are looking up?

Nah.

Eh, I knew I'd get at least half the comments going that way but it's interesting that there is very little middle ground here - either you'd vote for him rather than see a Democrat win or you'd crawl over broken glass to get away from the voting booth.

I wonder what would happen if some of the candidates that we hope will run, don't.  And Christie wins by default - kind of like Romney.

Become someone we only acknowledge on Memorial Day.

There, I said it.

There's no point in staying up when all the best clips (not usually all that many) end up on YouTube the next day.

How about "relevance"?

All of this is very well thought out and deeply insightful.

Now, use the above prosaic argument to the average Joe on the street and see where that gets you.

How about the old lady from "Throw Momma From The Train"?
