It’s kismet…

i hear elephant rib-eye is pretty tasty. it actually sounds a little more appealing than, say, barbecued donkey. uck.

Perfect for our times!

Awwww whassa matter Charlie…don’t you and the rest of the cons LIKE the taste of your own medicine?

“I did not inhale.” Remember that? Sure you do,…the righties NEVER stopped repeating that line, all during the 90’s…OR wrote it off as a youthful indiscretion.

Christine was “not really” a witch but she is 100% wacko! Republicans have reduced the party of Isenhauer to its current dismal level. Also, real Wiccans are appaled by Christine’s account of a ritual- blood is Not used and it is not Satanic.

She has policies besides those involving genitalia?

It isn’t what she said 20 years ago, it’s what she’s saying now. It isn’t just O’Donnell, but all those “TEA Party” candidates repeating the same chant.

Anyone surprsed to see Wicca (or satanism, not sure. They are not the same thing) suddenly considered a legitimate religion?

I though they thought this was a christian nation.

What if the newly elected republican was muslim?

(nurf nurf)

guess you’re just lucky, gop…

“Where is the Coons coverage????”

The story talks about how Coons entered college as a firm believer in the GOP. He campaigned for Reagan in 1980 and helped found the Amherst Young Republicans.

Then, as a sophomore, he took Cultural Anthropology, and learned to question the moral superiority of the West. He took a class on the Vietnam War, which, he writes, painted in vivid detail “a picture of the horrible failures made possible by American hubris and dogmatism.”

Then came the final blow: Coons spent spring of his junior year in Kenya on a study program. He lived with a poor family, then heard the Kenyan elites describe the poor as too lazy to get ahead, which bugged him because he didn’t think that was true.

“Experiences like this warned me that my own favorite beliefs in the miracles of free enterprise and the boundless opportunities to be had in America might be largely untrue,” Coons wrote in 1985.

Nowhere in the story does Coons actually call himself a Marxist, a communist, or any “ist” of any kind. However, he does say that he “studied under a bright and eloquent Marxist professor at the University of Nairobi.” http://www.csmonitor.com/USA/Politics/The-Vote/2010/0922/Christine-O-Donnell-rival-Is-he-Delaware-s-bearded-Marxist

Loons of a feather flock together.

Church – it’s a joke. Get it? Did you read the article?

Thanks, lonecat I was going to point that out.

It’s SOP for a paper to sensationalize the headline of a human interest article such as this. It’s a gimmick to encourage you to read the article.

@lonecat Someone should tell that old man that there’s a reason why its in the “Opinions” page of the paper.

That’s the other thing I love about cons like charlie…the way they always reply to what they WISH you said, instead of what you actually said.
