Hmm, okay makes sense. It's just that I know there are people who truly believe this sort of stuff. I live across a Mosque (2 actually, a Moroccan and a Turkish one) and they have the lights on and camera's rolling 24/7 because there have been break ins and acts of vandalism. And this place isn't even that small! (true, it is on the outskirts of the "religious triangle", but that aside)
I had Muslim classmates where I played after school and all. I just don't want to see them hurt I guess. But I'm probably too sentimental. I'm not very good at rational argumentation when I feel strongly about something, sorry.

For the report on 3/25/08. This is a female status post transgender surgery who kept her reproductive organs when she had her mastectomy. You can decide if she is a pregnant man or not. Biology says she is not a man.

Fortunately, not my problem. That was my point.
Come on, inked. Say you chuckle occasionally, and don't always look like this.

Oh wow, I had to look twice at that pic and reading the article before deciding it wasn't a joke. You don't expect that

Ok, if this doesn't get your goat, I don't know what will:
Madonna wants to remake Casablanca---and set it in Iraq 1) You can't "remake" Casablanca 2) Hollywood is so desperate that one of their anti-war movies succeed, that they are going out of their way to shock us more with their production plans than their anti-military messages. 3) Madonna? Is she insane?

I was thinking about our friend Charleton Heston today as I drove to campus. How did the thougts about Heston get triggered? I have no idea. I can't recall any Heston movies I've seen recently.
But lo and behold, I find this today: http://biz.yahoo.com/prnews/080405/clsa013.html?.v=11 RIP my friend. God bless. Best Role, IMO: Long John Silver in a Treasure Island that also included a young Christian Bale.

Great. Thandie Newton to play Condi in Oliver Stone's "W" movie. Ioan Gruffud to play Tony Blair. http://www.hollywoodreporter.com/hr/...9874961ea10454
No offense but...is that the best they can do? In light of that here's my suggestions: Karl Rove=John C Reilly Don Rumsfeld=Samuel L Jackson Colin Powell=Bernie Mac Paul Wolfowitz=Dana Carvey and special appearance by George Clooney as Laura Bush.

I still think they should have Frank Caliendo or Steve Bridges play Bush. Although frankly Id just assume not have to be reminded of Bush at all after next January... Cant they wait a generation or something?

Well he doesn't exactly consult the facts...a guy who thinks 9/11 was an inside job like he does...

SACA, who is that dashingly handsome and not-amused fellow you posted a picture of in #204 ? Suave, debonair, and given to understatement, too, I would think. Especially on being so closely positioned to a photo of a testosterone-injected facially haired status post mastectomy female who kept her genitalia and reproductive organs intact so as to borrow donor sperm and claim that she is a pregnant male?
I mean, who else would have the self-control to not burst out in laughter at such a claim. Alas, I would not look like he does! I haven't the self-control. He has a name, I trust?

THAT is the little ray of sunshine I was hoping for. I posted the semi-nude "gent' as a funny... and I was vastly disappointed in your outraged response.
The second sir, he of the self-control? He's had practice. Goes by "Cromwell." Good even' sir. *curtsies*

Cromwell, eh? Looks better than he sounds in history, I must say.
Glad you found a little ray of sunshine in my response. I do my best to keep all Entmoot on the illumined path and just to have the occasional curtsy to my efforts is *sniff, sniff* is almost more joy than this poor, unworthy can bear to hear! *snort*snort* Have you a hanky, my dear? Something silken and capable of absorbing these rivers of tears I shed in rapturous appreciation for your little encouraging remark about my sharing sunshine? Rian, That preggo FEMALE os from Oregon at present and is s/p a partial transgendering. A preggo female with a beard and a uterus et alia.

Yup, got that, inked I was using "guy" in a rather loose sense. My comment stands, though! (I hope there aren't any Oregonians here ... )
Strange that she/he didn't remove the baby equipment ... esp. since it would contribute female hormones to the mix.

You all MUST see this.
