Although, to be fair, the Six Toe Waffle House does serve some mean scattered, smothered and covered hash browns. And the Dollar General has a great selection of men's shoes.

There ain't no Waffle House in SixToe. You have to go to the city for that. Maylene's Diner is the only breakfast place.

I'm just saying that, if the world was about to burst into flames in accordance with MMGWR eschatology, there shouldn't be too many "once a century winterstorms" or the "once per century brutal winters" like they had in the Midwest last year. Any apocalypse worth its salt should at least be.. I dunno... noticable? It's like the citizens of Tokyo being warned that Godzilla is ripping Tokyo up, but people step outside and there's nothing but crickets. If it weren't for constant MMGWR chicken little sermons, hardly anybody would perceive an imminent climate doomsday.
But, this is the same guy who pulls out the Antarctic sea ice as evidence that there is no warming despite it being explained more than once that sea ice is not really an issue but the disappearing land ice is a massive problem
That is a perfect example of MMGW bullshit. Right up there with the term "Climate change" which says that, whether it gets warmer or colder, it's the end of the world and all man's fault. Utter illogical nonsense. The stubborn thriving of polar sea ice is not evidence that the earth isn't heating up, while the alleged shrinking of land ice is proof positive that the earth is sweltering. That is ridiculous on the face of it. We should all fly down to Antarctic and find the interface between land and sea ice. We can stand on one side of the line and piously say "nothing to see here," and then hop on one foot over to the land ice and squeal, "See! The earth is becoming a sauna!" Talk about angels dancing on pins.
I've posted this before but it's worth reading if you have any interest in the difference between the land ice and sea ice and what it means.

Rush Limbaugh and other conservatives predictably denounce nanny-state liberalism for storm warnings that turn out to be wrong

Huckabee is just uncomfortable that the Fox women give him sinful thoughts.

Last month he had a hard-on for Beyoncé (in a manner of speaking).

If the strategy is to solidify his TV Land base...hoop skirts, sock hops, and home by ten...you wonder how serious he is about being president. I bet he has an eye towards selling reverse mortgages instead.

A few weeks back, Mark Zuckerburg jumped on the Je suis Charlie bandwagon and proclaimed that he would not have censorship on Facebook. "I'm committed to building a service where you can speak freely without fear and violence."

Well, as it turns out, that wasn't exactly true.

Either you choose to be on Facebook or you dont. You know the risk. What they do has no effect on me.

And if Huckabee is prepping to be a golden-years pitchman, what is Palin doing? Is it cynical to think Palin and Trump show up at these 2016 prelims only for the publicity, while feigning a run at the WH?

Apparently Palin's speech Saturday in Iowa was a disaster according to friends and foes alike:

That's exactly what they are doing.

Here's a Caliendo and Donald Trump clip for you.

Palin should be on Fox. She'd fit right in.

Damn - too bad about the pic being outsized...Lenin is beside Hillary with the same hand-waving pose.

According to wiki the Communist Party USA has a membership of 2000. That puts them in the same membership range as the American Front, Aryan Terror Brigade, the Hammerskins, and Die Auserwahiten. But WAY behind the American Nazi Party and Aryan Nations. And hundreds of thousands behind the KKK and the John Birch Society.

und millions less als die Tea Party

.

Your article about the Green Party...history, origins, makeup, goals...makes no mention of communists.

Now tell us everything you (or some rwnj website) know about the commies in the Green Party.
