  Rather

  It's clear to me that she doesn't mean anything at all. Palin is totally uneducated and unprepared to respond to any question that deviates from the GOP playbook.

  I've said it before. I can't vote someone into office less informed than myself. This is not a terribly high bar, people. :)On Palin can't name a single man-made cause of climate change posted 1 year ago 7 Responses

  The straw bale house designs I've looked at confirm that the walls are fire resistant and are classed with interior stairways in industrial buildings. Not to shabby for an organic substance.On Umbra on straw-bale homes posted 1 year ago 11 Responses

  Never miss a pun opportunity!

  "I've stopped hugging trees, they get all sappy."

  Unlike Umbra's crew, my friends and I consider it our solemn duty to taunt each other, so I completely understand needing to have a snappy comeback. Puns aren't snappy, but I'm renowned (from here to next door) for them and it's my go-to response.

  Of course you can only use a pun once, so for Round Two, I might bust out some Sarcasm:
  "I know this is your planet, the other 6.5 billion of us are just squatters, right?"

  Or how about Weird for Round 3:

  Makes me wonder

  What horrible atrocities I could get legalized if I had a lobby. In today's world nothing is out of bounds if you have money. You don't even need to buy off congress, you can appeal directly the the President.

  I love it! It's the perfect representative government. I wonder when it's my turn to get represented.On Bush admin moves to ease restrictions on mountaintop-removal mining posted 1 year ago 1 Response
