QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Apr 1, 2012 -> 04:55 PM) And it might not hurt if the victim is black. haha, you do know that the NBC reporting where Zimmerman says "He looks suspicious, he's black". was faked right? they even admit it now.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Apr 1, 2012 -> 04:17 PM) Quite simply, bull. Someone following me for several minutes through a neighborhood when they're in a car and they're not saying why they're following me...as a 17 year old, I'd be scared ****less. If that person approached me then, I'd assume they're out to hurt me. And hey, turns out the guy had a gun, so the kid had every right to be terrified. i guess. but right now what witnesses are saying happened is Zimmerman was going to his car to leave and was jumped by Treyvon Martin. Then Treyvon Martin got shot.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Apr 1, 2012 -> 03:56 PM) Yes. An unidentified person following me around in a car would freak me out. Especially if I thought I got away and then the person re-found me. That's the kind of thing you tell a 5 year old to run home and hide with mom & dad if it happens to them. It is incredibly aggressive...and then worse if the person gets out of the car. lol. grasping.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Mar 29, 2012 -> 06:02 PM) Dick Cheney too. The heart transplant is just a cover. clearly

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Mar 29, 2012 -> 07:51 AM) Really, without the Court having written this new standard by which they're interpreting Congress can't do that, you'd have written a completely different law. No part of it would have been constructed that way. The author isn't kidding...the mandate is essential to that bill. The bill doesn't exist without that premise. plenty of 'free' government stuff does not require you to purchase insurance. they are paid for with taxes. you can't force people to buy corporate products IMO. we will see if the wise supreme court justices agree with me.

QUOTE (StrangeSox @ Mar 28, 2012 -> 09:48 PM) They appear to be saying in their arguments that it's necessary to make the other requirements like guaranteed coverage work. just raise taxes to cover the cost.

QUOTE (StrangeSox @ Mar 28, 2012 -> 09:37 PM) It offends my sensibilities as someone who hates terrible political cartoons. i was hoping you would say it offends you as a cartoonist.

QUOTE (StrangeSox @ Mar 28, 2012 -> 09:39 PM) But if the other parts are constitutional, as the court seems to be saying, and the mandate is necessary and proper to carry out those other constitutional regulations.... it's not necessary.

QUOTE (caulfield12 @ Mar 28, 2012 -> 09:17 PM) Santorum, the anti-pink bowling ball candidate By MAGGIE HABERMAN | 3/28/12 7:44 PM EDT From Ginger Gibson, on the trail at the latest bowling alley with Rick Santorum in Wisconsin: Santorum stopped a college student in Onalaska, WI from using a pink bowling ball. The student was part of a group of college Republicans who had gone to bowl with Santorum. When he went to use the neon pink bowling ball, Santorum and an aide stopped him. A nearby reporter led in, "Friends don't let friends...?" "Friends don't let friends use pink balls," Santorum replied. Got that? politico.com no one cares

QUOTE (NorthSideSox72 @ Mar 28, 2012 -> 01:37 PM) Interestingly, analysis of the arguments from this morning seem to indicate the justices are not leaning towards scrapping the whole thing, but more focusing on just the mandate. Seems like they don't feel it is their place to decide what legislative pieces work well and don't, which would indicate an inclination to only carve out the mandate and let Congress deal with fixing the bill. going through 2500 pages line by line and ruling on each thing is ridiculous. all or nothing. if congress wants, they can pass it again, but without the part that is unconstitutional. call it a tax and be done with it.

QUOTE (Marty34 @ Mar 27, 2012 -> 05:55 PM) Ichiro is a free-agent after next year and the Sox will have traded Viciedo for BJ Upton in June anyhow. haha

Dunn has his best year as a pro.

QUOTE (StrangeSox @ Mar 27, 2012 -> 03:27 PM) Also, Racist Hunger Games Fans Are Very Disappointed Some samples: Adding to the irony of the overt racism is that the book explicitly describes Rue as dark-skinned. haha how did you even find that?

QUOTE (Y2HH @ Mar 27, 2012 -> 06:32 PM) Speaking of this case, douchenozzle resident hollywood piece of s*** Spike Lee took it upon himself to tweet Zimmerman's home address...probably to stupidly and carelessly incite retaliation violence. Big problem, though, this f***ing moron tweeted the wrong address, and some poor lady has been getting harassed...and should probably fear for her life. What a f***ing dick. I hope this f***ing asshole gets sued for everything he has and brought up on charges for potentially putting an innocent persons life at risk. oh wow, what a dumbass. i hope he gets sued big time.

QUOTE (StrangeSox @ Mar 26, 2012 -> 08:09 PM) I would doubt he confronted him with his gun drawn. Imagine a "hey boy what you doin here" while grabbing his arm. Martin then punches him and a fight ensues. Martin has the upper hand until Zimmerman pulls his gun and shoots. might as well add a Dragon and a Maiden to that fairy tale.

uh oh, just saw in interview with one Zimmerman's neighbors. The neighbor was black, by the way. He said that Zimmerman was not racist, and Zimmerman is Hispanic, not white. poor Obama media. the story has now completely fallen apart.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Mar 26, 2012 -> 07:08 PM) Because you always believe the testimony of the shooter since dead men tell no tales. There's other witnesses and evidence. the whole thing has backfired on the Obama media

QUOTE (Milkman delivers @ Mar 24, 2012 -> 10:20 AM) I'm just hoping Martin ends up being at fault so everyone who jumped on this thing looks like a moron. it's starting to look very likely

Well well well. This story is certainly taking a turn.

QUOTE (caulfield12 @ Mar 25, 2012 -> 09:04 PM) It must be about the Romney's, because they went to the movie. Therefore, guilty by association. http://politicalticker.blogs.cnn.com/2012/...the-day-hungry/ kind of like the criminal that goes to the scene of the crime to reminisce. that does make sense now.

QUOTE (StrangeSox @ Mar 25, 2012 -> 07:26 PM) Also I just read the book this afternoon. There us obviously political undercurrents in the story, but drawing direct analogies to relatively recent us political narratives seems kinda stretching it. It isn't a blatantly obvious allegory like animal farm or something. i haven't read the book or seen the movie. but i'm sure the villains are inspired by Obama/Democrats

QUOTE (caulfield12 @ Mar 25, 2012 -> 03:12 PM) Do you really want to go there with Goldman? Yes. http://www.bloomberg.com/news/2012-03-20/j...ama-donors.html The concept of the noble and just Obama presidency is nothing but a fairy tale perpetuated by a marketing campaign. Of course not.

QUOTE (Quinarvy @ Mar 25, 2012 -> 02:58 PM) So what, I've said stuff like that before. Now if I could just get some bribe money from Goldman and the rest of the Wall Street bailout bunch like Obama did, I will be set.
