Once again, LST commenter’s have provided a ton of fun and sometimes serious reading material this past Friday - Thursday.
Trademark of the week goes to fink1 for Astronaughty™.
Thought of the week goes to:

It would be much easier if people would actually read what others wrote and determine if it is a statement of fact or an opinion. It would also be useful to try to bring to bear some reason and logic and stop confusing issues. Intertwining related, but non-parallel issues, only serves to obfuscate the greater picture.
Some of the comments made by LST readers that caught my attention this past week were:
My daughter used to Elmo help teach my grandson to go “potty” (there was an Elmo Goes to the Potty video, etc.), so have one on us all Elmo! Thank goodness, no more diapers or pullups.
#106 vlou
The Elmo potty video was made about 5 rounds after the above picture.
Just saw Obama-lama-ding-dong speaking on TV saying to fellow Democrats, “We’ve had a lot of plans, Democrats. We don’t need anymore plans. What we need is hope.”
Yeah, that’s what I want in a leader. Plans? We don’t need no stinking plans! We need hope.
There once was a Wookie named Chewie
Whose brain cells were a little kaflooie.
He was a real wreck –
Didn’t play a full deck
And his behavior was more than just screwy.
What is the girls weight relevant to? Are you a perfect physical specimen, Jolly?

Most people are worried about the color of Britney Spears skid marks rather than the security of this country.
Jeremy: The blacks get a whole month to learn about black history. They have every right to be P.O.ed because February is the shortest month of all, don’t cha know! Instead of a screwdriver, I’d recomment an awl….
I propose, rape once, loose the family jewels to a knife - while fully awake and feeling all pain. they wont rape again. (no tongue in cheek - I mean it, rape can be stopped once and for all when the family jewels are the price paid)
I think someone (Dan?) needs to get the jump on Gov Goodhair and pass preemptive legislation to keep him from turning us into Soylent Green. If I find out that Soylent has a lobbyist in Austin while Perry is still there, I’m going to get VERY nervous!
I *might* have been willing to consider the vaccine had it gone through NORMAL channels!!! But the truth be told (and this is what the medical advocates are saying here) is that Perry BLEW it.
“on the BBC here international or Euro news for the first time I can recall, people are saying good things about Texas”
So being turning into a nanny state and giving away our rights wins brownie points with Euroweenies? All the more reason to not do it. Eirc, Methinks you’ve been out of the country for too long.
Can this guy be impeached? Is being a lying sack of sh*t an impeachable offense?
Having a son that is autistic, and having a reasonable belief that the vaccines are at least partially responsible for this, I am fuming over Perry’s decision. To make a decision like this without public discussion, from a drug company that also made Vioxx? And to make it mandatory?
According to the CDC, 80% of women who contract HPV have immune systems which fight it off. It is the 20% who are at risk. Also, according to their figures, we have about 3,500 deaths per year in the USA due to cervical cancer. There are, though, approximately 300,000 annual deaths in primarily third world countries where access to preventative care such as PAP smears is not available. This is where the vaccine would really have an impact human lives.
Speaker Craddick mentions water, prisons and parks as personl priorities this session.
Not even a whisper about tax relief or spending reductions.
That reminds me of a couple I know who recently caught their teenage son with pot. The kid said it was his first time. Yeah… OK. And Rick Perry is a conservative and flying monkeys live in his butt.
So if two 13 year olds have sex…is it against the law?
If it is the law why is it not enforced?

Because they couldn’t find our hiding places back in 1968.
AARP is one of those organizations whose money I just love to burn by sending in blank/empty any and all prepaid postage inserts.
It would be much easier if people would actually read what others wrote and determine if it is a statement of fact or an opinion. It would also be useful to try to bring to bear some reason and logic and stop confusing issues. Intertwining related, but non-parallel issues, only serves to obfuscate the greater picture.
Why read his lips? He is lying out of his A$$!
I need a bumper sticker:
“Don’t blame me - I voted for the Jew!”
Thank you for the opportunity to take another shot at Gov. Perry. Here is my “Top Ten” list of captions for this picture:
3) If they don’t see the “hair” maybe they won’t recognize me??
5) What’s the big deal over a little shot??
7) At least I don’t look as stupid as Dukakais!!
10) Are you sure Hitler started out this same way?
Having to defend something that is indefensible is a major task for anyone…….Ms. Sit, you had better develop a thicker skin.
I’m just wondering if we’re now going to have a 7 day waiting period if we wish to purchase Depends Undergarments. She’s just ruined if for us all.
Well I’ve said it once and I’ll say it again. “Hell hath no fury like a woman scorned.”
Of course having a couple of brainy science babes fighting over you has to be great for the ego.
I agree, Hammer. I have been thinking this guy, this astronaut, must be some stud to get a woman to drive 900 in a pair of Depends.
Another fine (almost) killer fem from H-town, representin! “Dont be messin with my man biatch”!! Seriously, what a waste. Whats the deal with women in Clear Lake?
Who is even hinting Rick Perry would be considered as VP material? I keep reading this but wonder if it’s a flattering urban legend. Egad, no way is he qualified–leastwise not on a GOP ticket.
“1.7 billion of new money for higher education” Biggest bunch of crap I’ve ever heard of.
Our schools are failures of the 1st magnatued and what; or should I say How do the drunken sailors think that more money help?
I watched the recording of Perrys speech. He looked like Clinton. He held his hands together. His lip quivered. He almost wept when talking about how he’d feel if one child got cancer from HPV. Quite frankly he needs to be run out of town.
I’d like to offer Governor Goodhair a resounding one finger salute for his diligent efforts to undermine what little confidence the hard core conservatives have remainging for the Texas GOP.
If Gov. Perry was truly concerned about public health, he would shut the border and prevent the hundreds and thousands of cases of STDs, drug-resistant TB, and hepatitis being brought here by the illegal alien invaders.
And Eric, I’ll make you a deal — if this vaccine is so important, let’s expand it to require every woman under 26 be required to get it to receive or renew a driver’s license.
That’s a large, steaming pile of bovine excrement.
This is what happens when you hire the rubber-stamp used for building stadiums instead of just bribing him like ev-
Never mind.
We could just capitalize on what seems to be a natural resource: “some crazy little women.”
Kansas City didn’t do much with the idea — or the song — but just think about hordes of tourists looking at sites related to the Pom Pom mom, Karla Fay Tucker, Andrea Yates, Clara Harris and now Lisa Nowak, our astronaughty.
Saw that very same facial expression and gesticulation on Jimmy when he saw Dolly Parton approaching him in an airport.
1) When I do this, it means I have “lust in my heart”.
5) I’ll give you ten good reasons why I was a lousy President.
6) I’m looking for “melons” that are this big.
7) No, I can’t get a grasp of things, either physically or mentally.
…”In its report, To Err Is Human: Building a Safer Health System, the IOM estimates that 44,000 to 98,000 Americans die each year not from the medical conditions they checked in with, but from preventable medical errors.”…
I think these guys should be pardoned. They are (IMO) only “technically” guilty of what they were charged with (Tom Tancredo agrees). I don’t believe there was any malice or criminal intent in thier actions, they were just trying to cover up a job screw-up, and therefore should not be serving prison time—althought they ought to suffer the intial penalty they wer trying to avoid: loss of thier jobs. The only reason they are serving the time that they are is because of the mandatory 10 years tacked on to the minimal sentences they recieved because a firearm was used in a “crime” committed on Federal Property.
And did you notice in the article about Mayor White’s daughter? Apprently, there are “driving-while-intoxicated statues”. Personally, beyond the white crosses on the side of the road, I’ve never seen a monument to the almighty DWI.
Probably either talcum powder or coke - one for the raw butt and one for the nose.
Maybe it was dandruff. A warning from the shampoo mafia?
I wonder what they’d do if you mailed a booger in an envelope?
Let’s see how long it is before she gets into any more trouble.
She got off this time, I am sure she didn’t learn anything except “Hey, I am the mayor’s daughter and can get away with anything! COOL!”
I’m not a believer in karma, but I wonder how the jurors would feel if she goes out and get drunk (again) and kills one of their friends or family members.
Whether she was “intoxicated” (either from the usual .08 standard or just a casual observer’s standard) is irrelevant.
In Texas, the legal limit for a minor is zero. Not a drop.
Like you said, she “absolutely” was drinking. That’s it. Case closed.
I live near Hobby Airport, close to Pearland. Obviously it is the rectum of Houston. Well, close. But I love my neighborhood (it’s hard to find such large lots and trees in this town!).
Well, I think it’s sad what has happened to her…it’s not for me to be a judge of her lifestyle…amongst everything in her life, she was still a mother, and there was no doubt of her love for her children. She was just one part of the tapestry of this life we are all a part of. She wasn’t a murderer…her ‘crime’ in most people’s eyes was that she married a very elderly, very rich man. I don’t think she held a gun at his head to force him to marry her. Let’s not make a joke of her death. In a lot of our opinions she may have been a sandwich short of a picnic…but in truth, there are a lot worse people running around in this world than Anna Nicole Smith.
Anna Nicole Smith–My favorite civil litigant…..if only for her remark from the witness stand to famous Houston attorney Rusty Harding, “Screw you, Rusty!!”.
Every time I see Rusty Hardin on TV, I blurt out, “Screw you, Rusty!!”.

Anna was an Actress to the end. Five hundred grand for her final performance? (”I’m ready for my closeup, Mr. Demille.”)
MY favorite comment of the week:

Sometimes, you just hit the nail right on its head!
Good ones, Bogjolly! My favorite was Shannon’s “Screw You Rusty!”
We’re suppose to be commenting on comments? What’s next? Will we be making comments on the comments about the comments? I smell a really vicious circle.
It’s a conspiracy to use more bandwidth so Benzion can’t afford another week at the beach.

I watched Channel 13 news last night…just in case.
Sure enough, they couldn’t resist showing the whole thing again.
Rusty laughingly admitted it didn’t hurt his career one bit, and people holler it out to him all the time.
I wish I had a pic of the two of them in the courtroom that day. I’d hang it up in my office.
