6. I thought exactly the same thing.
I call people who are like she appears in that picture Party Savers. Lots of energy. Lots of fun.

4. They should split those two perverts up and put that kid in an orphanage
just as Jesus would want us to.

7. Wow....
...what is sad is that there really are assholes who do think like that. I get so used to be around my DU pals, that I forget that anyone could find something wrong with this picture of a loving couple about to get married.

12. Never forget
58,000,000 people in the US voted for John McCain and Sarah Palin. Never forget that.

14. Scary....

....:scared:

Yesterday, I was on the 405 Fwy and saw a car with a McCain - Palin sticker on the butt end. Hard to imagine that anyone would be so proud of that choice to still be flaunting one of those stickers.

:puke:

Edit for typo

15. I still see cars with Bush-Cheney stickers
And the inimitable -- "Don't blame me - I voted for Sarah." Swear to god!

16. Maybe about a year ago I saw my last B-C sticker....
...I am in SoCal. On the butt end of a decked out Caddie SUV with HUGE chrome wheels. :puke:

Have not seen one of the Palin stickers. Not sure if I would laugh or cry!

19. A friend of mine who grew up in Iowa posted something about being proud of Iowa
on her Facebook status. Of course most people agreed and said positive things. But there were a few, even among her friends (I'm assuming it was probably backwards-ass relatives or friends from high school), who had to make sure to remind everyone that there are still plenty of bigotted assholes out there. It was sad and pathetic.

9. Tiz, indeed. Let love rule!!!
Love is gentle as a rose
And love can conquer any war
Its time to take a stand
Brothers and sisters join hands

We got to let love rule
Let love rule
We got to let love rule
Let love rule

Love transcends all space and time
And love can make a little child smile
Oh cant you see
This wont go wrong
But we got to be strong
We cant do it alone

13. Iowa City, of course.
Lived there once. It's a bit like living in Austin and still saying you're from Texas.

But it's a start! Mazeltov!

22. Oh God, is that little crocs on the feet of their daughter?
Edited on Wed Apr-29-09 07:58 AM by mrbarber
Damn that is just to cute!

Edit: For some more funky love songs:

Love is in the air
Everywhere I look around
Love is in the air
Every sight and every sound

And I don't know if I'm being foolish
Don't know if I'm being wise
But it's something that I must believe in
And it's there when I look in your eyes

Love is in the air
In the whisper of the trees
Love is in the air
In the thunder of the sea

And I don't know if I'm just dreaming
Don't know if I feel sane
But it's something that I must believe in
And it's there when you call out my name

(Chorus)
Love is in the air
Love is in the air
Oh oh oh
Oh oh oh

Love is in the air
In the rising of the sun
Love is in the air
When the day is nearly done

And I don't know if you're an illusion
Don't know if I see it true
But you're something that I must believe in
And you're there when I reach out for you

Love is in the air
Every sight and every sound
And I don't know if I'm being foolish
Don't know if I'm being wise

But it's something that I must believe in
And it's there when I look in your eyes
