Column suitable for all on the Poli/Current Events section

This big bunch of Po(o)p(p)y was written in the style of Satan (fer) for a bunch of Bo(o)bs to feel better about themselves by denigrating others.

I feel truly honored to be mentioned in the same sentence with two of the most distinguished writers of our day. Men who portray through their insightful poetry the struggles of modern man. The directors of the Ronald Reagan library have declared these men to be National Treasures in recognition of their effort to educate the masses on the stupidity of the extreme religious right wing takeover of the conservative movement. I could go on but I'm sure I'm embarassing these two shy and humble individuals so I will just say thank you, thank you, thank you.

Completely inappropriate and an attack. Why would you say something like this?

It was a joke, kinda like "how many UF students does it take to change a light bulb ... 5 - 1 to change it and 4 to figure out how to smoke weed out of the old bulb".

Well maybe you should have been funnier- coming from you, it was a rude remark that made an ugly insinuation.

Thanks Kurt for removing the offensive remark.

Oh dear lbj, I am trying to use option No. 3, but I have to say that picking on a hard-working college sophomore is a bit over the top even for this board. Matt is smart and even tempered enough to fend for himself, but please. Could those who enjoy being condescending and insulting -- and I mean this for all -- save it at least for the over-21 crowd?

The sad thing in today's world is those that are not idiots do not make the news. And yes there are idiots on both sides of the party, there were plenty making the news ranting about George Bush and there are plenty now ranting against Obama.

No one writes about the middle of the road, average person, who is more concerned about their family, if they have a job, their personal health than the majority of the issues these "idiots" are ranting about it.

The article shared does not offend me because I don't fit the description of any group mentioned.

I vote for the person, not the party and probably many other people do too, they just don't make the headline news every evening.

I can respect anyone's views that are different from mine as long as they do the same.

Just noticed this.

Christianity and gay can go together just fine.

I'm still waiting for the answer to that question.
