1. Anybody who begins a sentence with "Y'all"...
Will only be taken seriously by other people who say "y'all".

7. They will fool y'all.
That's one way that people who say y'all sneak up on other people.

They are always mistaken for ignorant, fundamentalist pinheads.

While you are busy laughing, the ones who aren't will be busy

stealing everything that isn't nailed down (like voting machines).

:wtf:

12. Yep, he is. Hardcore!
I meet people like him everyday,

but don't damn everybody who does say y'all.

It's lonely enough living in SC as a Democrat.

I don't even see family anymore because of my blood pressure.

:hi: :dem:

a fearful conviction, moreover, concerning businessmen that was shared by Einstein, who recognised the atavistic, anarchic greed of the large corporations long, long ago, presumably from their role in producing World War II: Hitler and Mussolini's corporatism.

13. How did I know that book was published by Regnery?
I knew just by looking at that asshat Presser and the name of the book. I swear these assholes are too predictable.

9. Based on his appearance
yesterday, he is not a very impressive intellect. He is just a partisan.
He practically had his head down on the table.
That pic makes him look much better than he did yesterday.

14. The Raoul Berger Professor of Law at Northwestern is at the 2:19:00 mark.
The defender of Clarence Thomas, Presser is working to protect George War Criminal Bush. Odd that so many of the powerful bend over backward to legitimze the crazy monkey and denigrate those who see the obvious. It's no theory, it's a fact.

15. You're always SO flashy

Most academics have ignored Pound in recent years, and the flashiest late twentieth-century school of legal thought, the left-leaning “critical legal studies,” all but trashed him. With the availability of The Ideal Element in Law, this modest “summa” of a lifetime of jurisprudential work in the trenches and in the study, however, Pound’s indispensability to anyone who seeks to grasp the nature of American law should once again become clear. What Pound railed against as the “sporting theory of litigation,” the notion that litigation ought to be a ruthless tool to achieve partisan ends, now is everywhere in evidence in twenty-first-century America, extending even, in 2000, to the election of the United States president. A healthy dose of Pound’s wisdom, available in these lectures, might do wonders in reminding a new generation of American law students and lawyers how law ought properly to be used to preserve and protect American traditions, the rule of law, and liberty.

My apologies to Presser



Sometimes they all sound alike and look alike to me :shrug:




His tesimony starts at 2:39

17. Wasn't Nixon's impeachment based on a conspiracy theory?

Where would justice be without conspiracy theorists?!
