In 2011, the college Republicans at University of Wyoming somehow managed to get enough money together (I think someone donated it to them) to have Ann Coulter come and give a talk in probably the most blood red state in the union that I call home. She ended up being really, really late. Turbulence is a common enough problem in the Rockies that flights get delayed or delay landing quite often. When she finally was able to get in to Laramie, she was only present for the last 20 minutes of what I think was supposed to be a two hour long discussion with a Q&A. Then she got the hell out when she was scheduled to be gone, all at the expense of someone else and all she did was slam on liberals as much as she could in that small amount of time. And the people that wanted to go ate up every second of it.

I caught about two minutes of some guy substituting for Bill O'Reilly today and they're talking about the Carnival Triumph. He has somehow spun the event into making it sound like everyone got some kind of extended vacation, everyone made it out uninjured and that no one died, the cruise liner is giving them things like another trip and such for free, and that they should be grateful. I can't even make it into two minutes of this poo poo without being cast into a near-violent mood swing. How on earth do you people stand to listen to this poo poo?

I love how universally repulsive the liberal lifestyle farce is. Even in my home state of Wyoming, the two major liberal strongholds, Jackson and Laramie, are dominated by rich white ranchers or suburbanites from elsewhere that price out the town to everyone beneath their tax bracket. Although it's pretty hard for a lot of people to even find anywhere to live in Wyoming at a decent price because everything's already jacked up because of the oil and coal boom.

Spaceman Future! posted:Casper and Cheyanne were pretty cheap as of last year. I never lived in Wyoming personally but I lived in Denver for most of my life before I moved to New York this year and my friends up there were paying pennies on the dollar to what I was paying in Denver for square footage. Then again, now that I'm paying 4x as much as I was for a house rental in Denver for less than 400 square feet in Manhattan all midwest / southwest pricing has become reasonable so maybe my financial barometer just broke. I'm making a broad statement. I don't know much about the cost of living in Casper or Cheyenne because I never had the desire to live there nor do I know anyone in those areas. My living experience in Wyoming has been mostly in my hometown of Riverton and in Laramie when I was still going to UW. Rates are high enough in Riverton for the oil field workers that make the 120 mile commute to Rawlins or 160 miles to Pinedale that they can afford it, but the rest of us stuck on eight or nine bucks an hour at poo poo jobs can barely make it. Laramie's problem is that it's a college town and everyone with property to rent and every real estate agency in town is fleecing students and other low wage workers for as much as they can. I actually moved to the Denver metro area in June and this is my second time out here. The first time was in 2005 when I got out of high school and made the mistake of going to a for-profit school for game art design for a year. I'm out here again because I like the area and am waiting out the time I need to establish residency and get the in-state tuition rate at Metro so I can finally finish my god drat undergrad degree. I actually miss listening to Wyoming Public Radio because the fundraising segments on Colorado Public Radio make me see red because they are so much more annoying. And I also miss Bob Beck's voice. And! Grady Kirkpatrick had such an eclectic taste in music, so Wyoming Morning Music during the week would be a treat sometimes. A John Prine song would be on the playlist every few days and then a band like The Cure would slip through ever so often.

Also the same distance a lot of people in Wyoming have to travel to get to a doctor's appointment in Casper. The at counties in the state that only have a single doctor. A lot of people also go out of state to Billings, Salt Lake, Rapid City, Fort Collins, or Denver if they think they can get better care or if a specialist they need isn't in Casper.

I'm of the opinion that hitting F.E. Warren Air Force Base in Cheyenne, Wyoming would be a better strategic target than the nuclear silo. You know, to take out a bunch of aircraft and stuff instead of a muclear missile silo. But that's just, like, my opinion.

Because it's the closest thing to a scandal that the Obama administration has done that they can latch onto. In the meantime, enjoy this raving lunatic: Steven Ahle posted:Obamas EPA has declared that the city of Riverton, Wyoming, with over 10,000 people is no longer part of the United States and have given it to the Indians. In essence, all Americans living in Riverton are no longer living in the United States and are not eligible for state or federal services. They can also be tossed off land they bought and paid for since their deeds do not have to be recognized by the Indians. The Indians have argued for years that they should get full ownership of 1 million more acres of land because it should be part of their reservation.

I think it's more of the idea that sex (for women) is meant for procreation and nothing more. By using birth control, you negate the possibility of creation. When I was in Key Club, one of our members refused to participate in anything we did that was tied to UNICEF because she was Catholic and UNICEF advocated pro-choice policy. Doesn't matter if they also advocated things like the eradication of polio. If there's a hint of abortion or birth control, it was evil.

BiggerBoat posted:Cain was going on about this, whining about how the richest 10% pay 70% of the taxes. Well no poo poo, Herman. Maybe that's because they have all the loving money. I guess I'm supposed to be shocked that someone making $500,000 a year contributes more to the tax base than I do. But if we had a flat rate tax, then everyone pays the same and it's all perfectly fair and no one's paying more or less than anyone else. Because surely we can fund the government the same way we help fund our local Kiwanis club with our membership dues.

MizPiz posted:I was scared that I was the only one. I've wondered about that myself too. As someone that's a gigantic fan of his show and has all four of his comedy albums, there are times when I'm listening and watching that something seems a bit off. I would peg him as a liberal based on his work, but also pretty centrist. I also feel the same way about George Carlin at times. He becomes another man after his first wife dies and there's a lot of bitterness. I'd also like to bring up that Trey Parker is a massive libertarian and Matt Stone considers himself a conservative because, to paraphrase, "gently caress liberals". The episode of South Park where the kids are voting for a turd sandwich or a douchbag really pisses me off because it comes off as saying that voting is meaningless.

There's another problem with being a conservative comic. Being conservative also means holding back. So if you're conservative with your comedy, it's likely going to be very mediocre and have nothing noteworthy to say or any edge or bite to it.

Beowulfs_Ghost posted:What I found most hilarious about this whole thing was how much Levin seemed to dig the idea, even though he often criticizes Democrats for trying to Balkanize America. This plan to break up California right along party fault lines is like textbook Balkanization. But that is okay because it would easily produce half a dozen new Republican senators. It's okay if the Republicans break the rules because they play it up like it's for the good of the country or state or whatever. Doesn't matter if it's as low as bellyaching about things and stalling for time or as awful as genocide. But if the other team does it oh hell no.

BiggerBoat posted:"Half-rican American" - Rush Limnaugh, 2008 Not like that. The comment was actually in regards to Obama's father. Because his father was Kenyan, Obama doesn't have the same African slave ancestry that most African-Americans have. Thus, that makes him not black. Somehow. Race is a dumb concept in all of its forms.
