The Lady Who Fell Into the Fountain

I didn't see the humor in the whole thing. What is so funny about a woman tripping and falling into a fountain? Sure, if it were the 3 Stooges it would funny. But it isn't funny when it's a real person. I found it rather amazing that she didn't sue the mall.

Duh. Did the mall architects ever hear of something called "railings"? Did the idiots who designed the place ever hear of at least painting the boundaries of fountains bright red or yellow? This is a basic safety procedure that you would learn in Interior Design or Architecture 101.

The woman is not an idiot. She probably has deficient peripheral vision. Would the TV-watching morons of America laugh so hard if she were blind or legally blind and fell into the fountain? Ha, ha, ha. How hilarious. What a collection of PIGS.

The people who are truly DUMB are first of all the DESIGNERS of that mall, and secondly, people who found the whole thing to be amusing. What a collection of RETARDS!!!

The lady has every right to be angry! She should SUE the SOBs for negligence in not having that stupid fountain surrounded by any sort of railings or brightly-colored boundary, and then she should REALLY sue the SOBs for broadcasting the stupid surveillance tapes! What right did those BOZOs have to broadcast those videos???

After I got thru sueing THOSE Bozos, they wouldn't be laughing again for a long, long time.

And it also totally AMAZES me, that Morning Joe, where I first saw the video, should find the whole thing so freeking funny! Duh.

Republican Healthcare Legal Challenge A Result of Democratic Arrogance

This was entirely predictable. Were Obama and the Democrats really DUMB ENOUGH to think that they could implement healthcare reform at the national level without one single, solitary Republican vote?

That was INSANE. IDIOTIC. ARROGANT.

Most of the State judiciaries in the USA are either run by Republicans, or heavily influenced by Republicans.

This is the tip of the iceberg. The Republicans will continue to drag their feet on this FOREVER.

Why would ANY Republican, in ANY state of the USA help to implement a healthcare reform package that was not supported by one single, solitary Republican in Washington?

The ARROGANCE and STUPIDITY of Obama and the Democrats on this matter indicates an almost ASTOUNDING un-awareness of the nature of grass-roots American power.

The ONLY real WINNERS on healthcare reform are going to be LAWYERS!!! Lawyers are going to make BILLIONS of dollars in legal fees in the next 10 or 20 years as this 9 million ton dinosaur confronts an ENDLESS succession of Republican-initiated lawsuits in almost every state of the union.

Well, heck, Obama and wife are both lawyers, so they win either way.

Draft 1: 1/19/11

Leave the F-ing N-word in Huck Finn!!!

It is not the n-word that is objectionable. It is the institution of slavery that was objectionable. And Twain painted a portrait clearer than any other American author, of what slavery in the Old South was.

The n-word should most definitely NOT be removed!!! Replacing it with the word “slave” is MORONIC. That is not the same.

Removing the n-word would be as ANNOYING and DESTRUCTIVE as putting a BLEEP in a movie where the use of some so-called “objectionable” word is CRITICAL to the meaning of the movie.

I can not believe how much I HATE censorship! It is so ANNOYING, stupid and destructive!

So what if people find Huck Finn upsetting? It is SUPPOSED to be F-word-ING upsetting! Otherwise, Mark Twain would have called it “Fishing on the Mississippi with Uncle Jim”.

Furthermore, the use of the n-word is CRITICAL to understanding Huck’s psyche. Even tho Huck loved Jim, Huck was still so much a part of the Old South that he was compelled to express contempt for the n-word Jim. Even tho Jim was his protector and more of a father than Huck's real father.

And most importantly, Huck comes to realize the unfairness of this. That is central to the novel.

Taking the n-word out of Huck Finn is a CRIMINAL ACT!!!
