I'm tired of scrolling through page after page of moronic horseshit to find the handful of intelligent, funny, witty remarks that make me laugh or rethink my position. It's like looking for a needle in a haystack.

No need to go to the trouble of "looking for a needle in a haystack" in order to find "the handful of intelligent, funny, and witty remarks" which make you laugh or rethink your position.

Just go straight to my userpage.

Here is a perfect example of what this new health care legislation will prevent from happening. This was the subject of a thread now on the Back Page.

"Coverage denied, girl faces deafness

One of the worst abuses of the private health insurance industry is its practice of denying claims to pay for necessary care for patients.

This practice has become so rampant in the industry that a recent study by the California Nurses Association found that a whopping 21 percent of all insurance claims filed in the first half of 2009 in the state of California were denied by insurers.

And another falsehood -- the government will NOT be running the program the same as the government does not now run Medicare or the veterans' Tri-Care program.

The private health insurance companies have been allowed to run amok for too long now. Premiums are constantly being raised and insurance policies being dropped when an insured's medical claims became too expensive.

Also, with the private health insurance companies, anyone seeking coverage with even a minor medical problem -- like asthma, etc. -- could be denied coverage under the guise of a "pre-existing condition." That will not be allowed to happen with this new health care legislation.

Something had to be done. This may not be the perfect health care bill but it's a start and provisions which don't work well can be adjusted as needed in the future.

Awwwwwww. What a cute donkey.

Donkey or ass, hey, what does this city slicker know. They both look the same to me.

The Republicans probably bitched about Medicare and Social Security way back when the same way they're complaining now about this health care legislation.

But ask the Republican politicians for trillions of our tax dollars to wage an illegal war in Iraq so they could make billions for Bush and his buddies in war profiteering contracts and they'll answer: "Hey, no problema, how many billions do you need?"

from the article

A British woman has lost her appeal against a ban on her noisy sex sessions, after a court heard how her marathon romps that kept neighbours awake sounded like someone being murdered.

Caroline and Steve Cartwright's "howling" lovemaking sounded "unnatural", "hysterical" and "like they are both in considerable pain",...

A 10-minute recording of their sex sessions was played in court,... which also heard how she tried covering her face with a pillow to muffle her cries of passion.

Neighbours at their home in Washington, County Durham,...complained about the noise - as did passers-by and the postman.

Just how good in bed was this guy, anyway, when even people just walking by and the postman could hear her screaming.

Kiss my ass.

They get their oomph from exploding stars.

I could use a couple of exploding stars about now.

Been pulling up all the carpet off the floor and need some more "oomph."

It goes without saying that there's no smoking in class. But there is a good deal of sniffing of leaves, discussion of the finer points of inhaling and debate over which plant gives the biggest hit.

Classes on this subject will be conducted by Weed University's esteemed Professor Nullifidian.

...By all means take a look at San Antonio....SA is one of the leading communities in the nation for job growth and real estate market, and I never ran out of things to do. Zoo, museums, Sea World, Six Flags, Schlitterbahn, Missions, the River Walk, etc. Great choice. Now if it weren't so god awful hot....

...but SA, just 70 miles away, is also very nice and is much more affordadable.

Don't know if you guys will even see this post now as this thread is off the Front Page, but if you do I'd appreciate some advice.

See how you get to know people better on the music thread.

I never would have figured you for a good ol' boy, Badgerwest.

Hanks Sr. and Jr -- great choice.

Maybe your cat overheard you whisper that to your girlfriend a few times. : )

Mug.

5 years old.

"Mug" -- cute name.

If you've had him for 5 years he's probably like family to you.

I don't care what people say when they make remarks like "Oh, it's just an animal." Pets bring you companionship and unquestioning devotion -- more than humans do at times. And usually when you need it the most.

Everyone else can be down on you and/or on your case all day long but when you walk in the front door your dog or cat love you no matter what.

Well, got tons of things to do today. See you all later.

What's your cat's name, Tosser?

How long have you had him?

No, JT, I probably wouldn't ever get a restraining order on you -- as long as you remain on the East Coast.

In your own perverse way, you keep me oddly entertained.

The biggest problem with afternoon delight is that my cat is awake.

I want to set a good example for him. I don't want my afternoon delight to put any idea in that over-active cat-brain.

Never heard of just closing your bedroom door?

Don't tell me your cat is smart enough to climb up on something and look through the keyhole.

"#16 | Posted by jerrytarkanian at 2009-11-21 01:38 PM"

Some day I'm going to sue you for not using quotation marks properly and making it look like what you wrote was an exact quote from me.

But then JT is JT is JT so, as usual, I'll just consider the source.

...I am currently in the process of getting a hearing aid. My insurance has a one time $1,000 pay....

For both ears or just one?

They can make hearing aids now where you can barely even tell a person is wearing one.

And look on the bright side -- when you're around a bunch of talkative women, or some woman is giving you a list of chores you need to do, you can totally ignore them and later say you forgot you had your hearing aid on "OFF."

I wish nooner would come sooner.

So you're into "afternoon delights"?

(Never mind, it's an American joke.)

Does anyone know how to cook eggplant?

#8 | Posted by Tosser at 2009-11-21 01:25 PM

Fuck You.

#1 | Posted by jerrytarkanian at 2009-11-21 01:07 PM

Well, at least it's a change from the stupid "FIRST!" every idiot seems to write on the Nooner when he's the first poster on the thread.

...But I hadn't heard "Fuck you" till I came here.

#4 | Posted by pragmatist at 2009-11-21 01:22 PM

You probably hadn't heard a lot of things until you came to DR.

More irrational hysteria.

Aw, come on, give me a break. I've only posted a couple of times today.

I keep thinking it's Sunday for some reason.

I tried to have the link open directly on to page 20 but it went back to page 1. Just forward the pages to page 20 and you'll see the three "Yoder" names.
