It's friday.

Not Friday yet...but it feels like it!


Paradoxical Quote of The Day From Ben Stein:



"Fathom the hypocrisy of a government that requires every citizen to prove they are insured... but not everyone must prove they are a citizen."

Now add this, "Many of those who refuse, or are unable, to prove they are citizens will receive free insurance paid for by those who are forced to buy insurance because they are citizens."




Think about it when you vote in November !

This thread is supposed to be for posting light-hearted stuff like jokes and cartoons, a relief from the more contentious exchanges that go on elsewhere. Neither this nor that hateful racist video you posted here before belong in a thread like this one. I would be grateful if you'd stopped crapping on it.

You need to ask Grumpy if you can be a moderator.

Never. I'd have to clean up my act then.

Anyway, it was only a request that Painter respect the spirit and intent of that thread. Seeing as how she has failed to do so twice now, it seemed necessary.

I pointed that out to her months ago. Clearly, she doesn't care. Or maybe she heard Glenn Beck say it was from Jefferson and believes him to be more credible than the official custodians of Jefferson's legacy.

No, there YOU go again. Please try to keep the contentious posts where they belong.

Pete's "It's Friday" thread has always been a place for a little gentle humor to act as a sort of safety valve for the "steam" that can build up in the other threads. When you, as you have on several occasions, post argumentative and, frankly, obscene material to that thread you subverts its purpose.

Why don't we go straight to the horse's mouth and ask Pete what the purpose of the thread was and if he objects to anything that has been posted here? Fair enough?
