Wisdom teeth is a nonsense.
What to me pleasure of what at me in 25-30 years has grown a teeth without which I already easily manage for a long time?
Where they were, when I in a youth teeth opened bottles with beer because it was abruptly? When I clicked a teeth nuts?
And then, why from name “Wisdom teeth” – I that, somehow in another way to chew has learnt? Not how earlier when I was the young fool? Whether business if to years to 30 grew, for example, wisdom fingers! Better, of course, on each hand on the additional index. But on the second big – too it is normal. And then it would be wisdom fingers – because now I precisely know, for what I should seize both hands, to hold strong-strong and never to release. Or from what to wave away – yes, now I know, from what I should wave away very much, sometimes so there is no pair of superfluous fingers on hands that from it to wave away.
Or here, a wisdom eye. It is necessary certainly, to change the passport by 30 years because you on a forehead had one more eye… Well also I represent, as it will be scratched. When it begins to be cut through – hard, yes. But – what pleasure to look in three eyes at that, on what you could not see enough in both in any way… And points cool can be carried – represent, what turn the fashion industry can make!
I ask me to excuse, it is simple a teeth strongly are ill

Where is the outrage? The skit was typical, mildly funny, SNL until they label Hillary Clinton and her supporters as racists. That is offense in the extreme and patently false. Sure, there are some who happen to be racist or misogynistic in both coalitions, but this is not due to the campaigns themselves and to suggest otherwise is divisive.

Imagine if SNL aired a skit during the Rev. Wright hub-bub with a faux-Obama speaking to the camera and saying, "I don't support Rev. Wright's words or actions" wink- wink "nor, do I believe in any of the Reverend's racist rhetoric" wink-wink... If they were to air such a skit SNL would have been skewered by every major liberal media outlet in the country, as well as all over the blogosphere.

I understand Clinton generates passionate opinions, positive and negative, but this type of television is poor form and offends a huge voting block by calling them racists, the utter lack of outrage from the mass media is indicative of their own bias towards this campaign.

Maybe, for some, having a read here - http://notesandasides.blogspot.com/ - will be interesting. After bending my wife's ears one too many times, I was encouraged to start a blog, which I did recently (May '08).

Cheers,

Curtis

Everything about politics has become savage.
A pol expressing a difference of opinion is always said to attack, slam or bash, no matter how mildly the criticism is phrased.

Vicious satire is only a steo up from the way political figures are portrayed in common parlance.

Comedy is supposed to be fun, and while this started out well the Wright bit and the “gender and race card” lines were offensive without being funny. As a result the Clinton fans will be justified in being a bit upset. That said, Joe is correct in pointing out that comedians generally have a good grasp on public sentiment, and just as SNL recognized that the media was fawning on Obama, in this case the Clinton supporters might want to look at the message SNL is broadcasting about the current state of the Clinton campaign.

That is when first degree strikes. When I heard it first and for quite a few days, I simply gulped listning t it. Then I realize that it was not really planned, even a Clinton would not be that gross. She clearly was reading something , making a quote and as quotes go often, making a mull of it as most of us do. Pb It was dynamite stuff, the type of quote with brackets where everyone needs to either see you bracketting into space or saying “I quote” Or better simply mentionning blue collar, low education but not the colour ; please not the color in out colorblind society. That was the killer. She said it and it will linger and fester nowon.
SNL and most pundits have jumped on it and will tear her apart. Wright is a fool clearly we all see him on the nwes only as a ranting mad man , but Hillary ever so sober HRC who has it to bite the bullet always even if it will kill her; no one takes her for a buffoon and so if she says it, she means it. And even if a few of us and I am a Obama voter believe she did not mean it at all , just wanting to underline her strength in blue collar voters she made the boohbooh of a lifetime. She committed the social solecism any candidate who plans to be elected must not do. it is going to cost her the nomination and will leave her to campaign in Obama only in colorconscious america …racist…alas…back waters even she deserves beter , much better. Not only she lost the nomination, but if Obama is elceted in the GE, it actually cost her the Veep.
It is not savage , it is tragic. like a greek tragedy…

I'm a as much a critic of Hillary Clinton as anyone, but that SNL skit was painfully unfunny.
