Being all that they can be, which is apparently a hell of a lot more than the 101st Fighting Keyboarders.

Nobody ever e-mails me about things they'd like to see more of or less of on this site, but if they did, I just have this feeling that there'd be this wellspring of people saying things like, "I wish you'd have more links to news stories about old ladies doing crazy stuff and raising a stink."

Voila!

TUCSON, Ariz. - Five older women known as the "Tucson Raging Grannies" pleaded innocent Monday to misdemeanor trespassing charges lodged when they tried to enlist at a military recruitment center.

A judge set an Aug. 19 pretrial hearing for the women, who range from 55 to 81 years old ? decades older than the maximum allowable age for recruits.


I mention this not because I share their belief that we should summarily yank the troops out of Iraq right away -- I don't -- but because I find the contrast so immensely amusing. What contrast, you ask? How about the contrast between these kindly little old ladies and folks like . . . oh . . . Jonah Goldberg? John Hinderaker? Rich Lowry? Captain Ed? Matt Margolis?

If you're playing at home, let's tally up the attempted enlistments: Tucson Raging Grannies 5, 101st Fighting Keyboarders 0.

Wow. I mean, I always kind of had an idea that Goldberg and Hinderaker were bigger pussies than most grandmas, but it's kind of cool to see it right out in the open like that.

Good show, grannies.

How many of you have signed up and trained for MP duty so that you can go to Gitmo and stop the torture? Change it from the inside. I don't know who the assholes are you are trashing, but your superior bullshit is just that. Juvenile.

Below you Doug. At your level Bill.

So by your logic only people that oppose the war should sign up? the fuck?

That's below your level of stupid Steve, its at Anon's.

All we are saying is that if you support the war you should get off your asses and go fight it. If you support the war and don't enlist, you are just a yellow coward.

Talk is cheap Steve/Anon, let's see some action.

Sorry, goober, I was having so much fun kicking your ass on the last blog that I didn't want to leave.
I have no idea who Goldberg and Hinderaker are. But I do know Goober Eistein, that toothless liberal hick and his fellow do-gooder racist liberals.
You know, the ones with all the answers but no votes. So they just sit around pissing on the winners claiming that since no one will vote for their slugs, everyone else must be stupid. Elitist liberal assholes.

Well well well, little Anon made his way here. After a week of ignoring this post our most typical conservative finally shows up. Does he respond to the post? Of course not!!! He pussies out, just like his freeptard heros! What a sissy and what a way to play right into everyone's expectations of him!

I guess he keeps coming around because he likes the abuse!

Ya always gotta love it when Anon claims to be building a democracy in Iraq when he is too much of a weasel chickenshit pussy to actually sign up to go fight himself. These grandmothers have more courage in thier little pinkies that Mr Priss Anon does!

GOP Wins U.S. House Election in Ohio

Republican Defeats Iraq War Veteran to Win Special Congressional Election in Ohio

By DAN SEWELL Associated Press
The Associated Press

CINCINNATI Aug 3, 2005 ? A Republican former state lawmaker has claimed a seat in Congress by narrowly defeating an Iraq war veteran who drew national attention to the race with his military service and a series of harsh attacks on President Bush.

But Democrats said they, too, had reason to celebrate pointing to the close race as a sign of promise heading into next year's midterm elections.

With all precincts reporting, Jean Schmidt had 52 percent, or 57,974 votes, compared with Democrat Paul Hackett's 48 percent, or 54,401 votes. Schmidt's margin of victory amounted to about 3,500 votes out of more than 112,000 cast.

Ha! Only billshit and his fellow liberal losers could find success in losing an election by 4%. What a bunch of losers. Yeah, we lost but not that bad. Ha!
We're number 2!
We're number 2!
We're number 2!
We're a goober too!

Get used to it losers.

I particularly like the part about the harsh attacks on Bush. That's a really effective strategy. Keep it up!

Hey, where the hell have you losers been hiding Dean? Remember him? Yeah, Howard Dean. Where the hell is he? He's always good for a laugh or two. Not a peep outta him lately. Hurry up and get him back out. He's the best thing going for the Repubs.
