    YOU BE OUR BIATCH OMG, Witch!! I think it's chosen you for its mother! Ewwww! Anyway, I think it's kind of cool what Chavez is doing. Me, I tend to look the gift horse in the mouth, but what would Chavez have to gain by offering what he has? Favor with the poor? Our Shrew has pointed out that this would be silly since the rich Republicans own them. So what else could it be? What do you think his motivations are, Witch?

    calling me “Broomstick”, for example I was under the impression that it had a thing for broomsticks. I've also noticed that it calls your responses "juvenile" while it insists on saying things such as "you be our biatch." Talk about projection... Oh, how twisted is the sociopathic mind to plant its head firmly in its arse while blaming everyone else for its pathetic life and its own lack of understanding. Well, Sean Hannity says that my crappy life is the fault of the "liberals" so it must be so...the man from the TV would NEVER lead me astray. Besides, he gives …

    Yeah, I think Dave is right, Witch. Mac and Tosh were the polite ones who always insisted "no, after you..." Chip and Dale were the ruffians who were doing things like giving Donald Duck a hard time and one was usually slapping the other one around for doing something silly. The two are sets are usually confused because the gophers were Warner's creation and ran around the same time as Disney's Chip and Dale (although, I think the gophers were actually more popular).

    Last point: I don’t wish to ban tina1 from this site (my home, yes). I think it’s instructive to see just how the gears of her little mind works. It’s like studying a clear glass wind-up doll. I want to know exactly how those crude mental gears lock themselves into place for my own scientific observations.
    Can't you see the same thing from the commentary on Fox news and the snickering little imps that they call reporters? There are hundreds (if not more) of this tina1 mentality trolling the web every day and trying to deposit more of their …

    Geez, nice to see the complete theft of the work of Daniel Pipes. I'm completely sure that he won't mind even though most folks who repost his stuff have the sense to give credit to him. Of course, Shrew should have gotten the full article found here: http://www.danielpipes.org/article/460 instead of the shortened version that it found at: http://www.instapundit.com/archives/003645.php Not a new thought in its head...so horribly sad.

    I wonder if the Shrew even bothered to notice the part where it said: Talkers said it used Arbitron data and "other reliable indicators" for its semiannual rankings report. Does anybody else notice those quotes? She also fails to mention that Randi Rhodes is the "cover girl" on that particular issue of the magazine. http://www.talkers.com/main/index.php I guess that Limbaugh listeners either can't read or that his ugly mug won't sell a magazine.

    Rabbit hopes you haven’t gone and broken the new Troll, Pete, it was noticeably shaky in the sanity department and though possibly quite unstable, is still a valuable asset. Even if we have so many old friends dropping in, or maybe especially because we have, we should save the breaking of the Troll until everyone has had a piece of it. Then we beat it to death, or hopefully the troll self destructs, the ultimate forum fireworks show. Of course if it was an accident, that’s OK, these things do happen

It also forgets to take into account that Texas has a "sales tax" to go along with its lowly ciggarette tax of around 8% last time I checked in 1996.

    Yes, your right, Witch. There's no going back and most people don't have nightmares about those other things that you mentioned.

Here's one for her to cut her teeth on: Minerva, show your stuff by giving me the qaud formula, the vertex, and the intercepts of this problem: A parabola that passes through ( 10, 26 ), ( 20, 83 ), and ( 30, 128 ).

    answers to the math problems you can’t figure out yourself Actually, the problem is rather simple and quadriatic regressions are taught here around the 8th grade...it's considered simple math and is quite a necessity to both pilots and anyone else that needs to know the trajectory of an object or even to figure out how to make a water fountain that doesn't squirt somebody in the eye. After doing the quadriatic regression method (the other is much longer), we come up with the quadriatic formula: y = -0.06X^2 + 7.5X - 43 from there, we are able to grab the a, …

    From the Sky East Tower Goes Down Controlled Demolition Look kinda' similiar? If terrorists did that, they were smart enough to set up the charges beforehand which means that they had full access to the buildings. And if they did have access, then who gave it to them and why? The only thing I can think of is to scare Americans enough to follow blindly into a campaign of hate. Did you see the new Osama tape?

At any rate, the point I'm making is that the towers coming down look identical to a controlled demolition. Anybody who has seen the towers collapse and has seen a building demolished and can still say that a plane did that kind of damage and dropped a building that fast...really has their head up their butt.
