Zipper: 'Morning, Uncle Zonk! Ready to roll when you are! Zonker: Okay, I... Zipper: You know what this trip to Colorado is? I just figured it out! It's the American dream! The American dream in action! The whole ginormous, glistening ball of was! It's the best road trip ever! Zonker: But long. I need you to cheer down, dude. Zipper: Was I peaking? Dang! I'm always the last to know!

gotta save that energy for the parts of the road that are long and lonely.

Gotta cheer down!
alviebird over 11 years ago
I know how to cheer him down. Let’s get small.

Growing that “medicinal” mary jane. Oh, yeah.

Seriously, has anybody on the left ever proposed state farms?

Rocky Road to Colorado – Hope and Crosby, these two are not !

Texas has State Farms… We refer to it as Department of Correction Prison System.

I’m sorry, this is not the most interesting story arc in recent weeks; I’m not looking forward to the next five days…I would have preferred skipping ahead to their arrival in CO.

Susan, the whole story line here is that they’re going to Colorado to take advantage of the recent change in their state law.

Maybe they’ll stumble across a guarded pot field and that’ll be the end of these two losers.

GREAT POST!!
TCulberson over 11 years ago
Wow, some anger issues, maybe you need a trip to Colorado to chill out. Or maybe to Venezula where Collective farming and Liberal politics are doing such a great job. And why is that there is always an excuse on way liberalism doesn;t work beside that truth that it does not work.

Which is worse? A Zip-Zonk story arc or the trolls? Rather seven straight days with a strong laxative than the combination. See you next week.

To any and all it may concern:
Even if you are right, there is no reason to take a rudely confrontational attitude here. Get a fired up as you like sitting there in front of your computer, but please keep it out of this room. Besides, your points will be much better considered by others when delivered in a friendly tone. No one wants to listen to someone who is belittling them. And I really don’t want to hear it, either.

There’s a lot of good substance abuse treatment out West. If they swing through Arizona, maybe they’ll do a 90 day program in Prescott. It’s Recovery City, USA.

Its a hoax, dingbat. You are just as moronic as the 9/11 troofers. We laugh at them, and we laugh at you. Fox doesn’t go there because as much as I think the whole “fair and balanced” spiel is baloney, they have infinitely more integrity than world-nut daily. As far as the sheriff in Arizona…so what. He and his “possee” are small time county cops, aka a nobodies. Some cops have this misplaced idea that having a badge and a little power makes them some sort of mental giant. Yeah, right. I know by having watched you over the last few months that you are going to call me something like “Barry worshipper” or “socialist”. I just want to let you know, in the real world its not black and white. There are more than just two ideologies. You are so far right that anyone looks like a leftist next to you.

I like 2 and 9, 10 being already accomplished fact minus the application of what they’re taught to real production (though we did that in my high school, making and selling desk lamps, today such activity would break half a dozen laws and expose the school to unwanted liability issues).
Marx could see the obvious, what he missed was how his suggestions would mingle with human nature to create the most horrible tyrannies on earth since the rule of Europe by the Catholic Church.

All of this idiocy and diatribe pales in the face of yet an other senseless act of violence perpetrated by a person or persons unknown this afternoon. The irony isn’t lost on me that this should occur in the cradle of Liberty, Boston,MA. at the Boston Marathon, on Patriot,s Day !Instead of pointless bickering about whose right ( or left ), we should be, collectively and communally, offering our thoughts and prayers for these people killed, maimed or injured by an apparent act of terrorism !

“10. Free education for all children in public schools. Abolition of children’s factory labour in its present form. "Stinking commies! How dare they?
crabjuice over 11 years ago
Im not a liberal, dipshit. Oh, its on youtube, so it must be true! Duh…
crabjuice over 11 years ago
Finding some socialist ideas useful, is not communism. If you find embracing any socialist ideas fundamentally wrong, don’t call the fire department when your house catches on fire and stay off the public roads.

Another point, even if this silly birther nonsense had an ounce of truth, it wouldn’t matter. President Obamas mother was a U.S. citizen. Therefore, being born abroad wouldn’t change eligibility for POTUS.
kaffekup over 11 years ago
Oh, he knows we’re laughing at him. Just the fact that we acknowledge his miserable existence sends a thrill down his leg.

“10. Free education for all children in public schools. Abolition of children’s factory labour in its present form.” -I’m OK with that part. I’m also in favor of having the trains run on time.

Have John Boehner and Mitch McConnell stopped excepting salaries from the US taxpayers?
Newshound41 over 11 years ago
That’s like saying Moses wasn’t a Christian.
Q4horse over 11 years ago
The problem with these heated political discussions is the way they drift off topic. This is about the American dream! Moving to CO and legally cultivating the Weed! Libertarian-ism victorious!
Newshound41 over 11 years ago
I am not saying that Jefferson would have agreed with Marx; actually, I’m certain he would have opposed Marx. But the point you made is moot. Jefferson lived and died before Marx published his ideas. Moses lived and died before Jesus.
Newshound41 over 11 years ago
The point Night-Gaunt49 is making, is that Jefferson was opposed to inheritance and passing on of property from one generation to another. On this point N-G49 is correct and it is a view Jefferson shared with Marx. In a letter to Madison, Jefferson stated the following:-The portion occupied by an individual ceases to be his when himself ceases to be, and reverts to the society.

“This is no hoax. The B/C is clearly a forgery. That is beyond doubt and many including the Maricopa County Cold Case Posse have reached this conclusion.I showed that one so called fact checking yesterday, is just a pro Barry site and not independent in any way. It is no more than Al Capone’s lawyer in a way. Most of the so called fact checking sites are just fronts for Barry’s propaganda. So I don’t trust any to be safe.Read this article from today from the American Thinker. It may answer some of your questions about Barry.http://www.americanthinker.com/printpage/?url=http://www.americanthinker.com/articles/../2013/04/are_we_being_compromised_by_barack_obamas_murky_past.htmlI have heard recordings of the Clinton’s saying Barry was NOT Constitutional. I have heard stories as to why they didn’t pursue this. I am not sure yet as to if those stories are true. If they are, Barry doesn’t play nice.Why the GOP and others including most talk radio and FOX don’t go there is unknown to me.This story is all over the internet. Check World Net Daily. They have done a great deal of factual reporting on this issue. Get informed.The only one here that is foolish and gullible is you for ignoring the truth and putting down those that do type the truth.”—Yawnity do dah and oh so FRGGIN’ friggn DUH… duh!… Dum (de-dumb-dumb) dude..You’s been seriously had. It’s obvious with (or to) anyone with half a working braincell… that you’re nuts. Seriously. Catch up, or admit that you’ve lost your marbles and miss them greatly… ’Kay?
