What doe the words "a clear public health connection" mean, anyway. Something about that bugs me. Either the games are harmful to kids, or they aren't. Why is a "public health connection" supposed to make me care if I didn't all ready?

Hillary is just responding to the Blogtower's call for regulating deviant sexual themes out of comic books.

After an Ace-o-lanche, (and with Gannon on my side)all things are possible!

I don't like HIllary either. But how is calling her a "nitrous-oxide fueled bitch-machine" any different than the democrats calling Bush a chimp or a Nazi?

I think one reason why Bush won the election is because the republicans in general refrained from the ugly vitupertive smears that the Michael Moores and their ilk constantly indulged in.

We must maintain class.

But how is calling her a "nitrous-oxide fueled bitch-machine" any different than the democrats calling Bush a chimp or a Nazi?

Ohh, lighten up Francis.

I think there's a "joke" exception lying around here somewhere.

On Cavuto today, some Spin Doctor was talking about Shrillary's attempt to "soften her image." I say there's not enough Oil of Olay in the Western Hemisphere.

Did I miss something? When did " bitch" become synonymous with "Nazi"?

In all seriousness, there are blogs which seek to maintain a certain level of respectability, civility, and decorum.

This isn't one of those blogs.

But I do insist that there's a difference between a joke using the word "bitch" and just using the words 'Nazi" and "Chimpy McMurderer" as part of one's standard, serious political vocabulary.

Because one is the truth?

Hey Hobs,

Notice how Cedarfart hasn't posted anything since the smack-down last night?

I think he's still trying to figure out how to type (or, for that matter, read) without moving his lips, lol.

Just wait Jack. Group therapy lets out any time now.

TV-17 means that people under 17 are cautioned against watching this show

While my natural instinct is to oppose anything the woman says even if it means arguing that the raitings system is simple enough for any moron to understand. However, well ... there is no TV-17 raiting.

There is a TV-14 for shows that you should be at least that old to watch.

There is a TV-7 for "Bigger Kid" cartoons. This one can also be appended with a "FV" for fantisy violence .

There is a NC-17 movie raiting. This indicates that the movie contains more sex and/or violence that you can find in a standard movie theater, without having to sit next to Pee-Wee Herman.

Games have tons of different raitings including:

TEEN
Titles rated T (Teen) have content that may be suitable for ages 13 and older. Titles in this category may contain violence, suggestive themes, crude humor, minimal blood and/or infrequent use of strong language.

MATURE
Titles rated M (Mature) have content that may be suitable for persons ages 17 and older. Titles in this category may contain mature sexual themes, more intense violence and/or strong language.

and

ADULTS ONLY
Titles rated AO (Adults Only) have content suitable only for adults. Titles in this category may include graphic depictions of sex and/or violence. Adults Only products are not intended for persons under the age of 18.

Not to mention that "Mature Audiences only" has a totally different meaning for TV, Movies and video games.

Of course a congressional board can make this all better....

Again, its not as important as establishing a universal railroad gauge...

Oh, have a nice tall glass of STFU juice. If you want to play the morality card, be a man and f'n' play the morality card.

She's got to have the card in her deck before she can play it.

Don't do it via this double-talk about a "public health response."

"Public health" is synonymous with morality in the humanist-socialist lexicon. Her God is the public/children/masses/proletariat.

Frankly, whenever I hear a politician - of ANY stripe - use the words "It's for the children" I begin to look for the hooks. Some how, some way, this proposed legislation has a hook in it to control adult behavior. We may not have seen it yet, but it's there.

Weren't Sen. Paul Simon, AG Janet Reno, etc pushing for this stuff 12 years ago? It's unfortunate that so many people tell us we must give up liberties, not in the name of religion or morality or class - now it's 'the children' and 'our parents' and how do you argue with that? Or more properly, how do you use facts against someone who has a well-rehearsed and time-tested emotional appeal?

Another center-right step in her PR campaign for the 2008 elections. Her 'feigned' concern for the 'public' is truly overwhelming. I wish for the election today so I can ignore her sooner, rather than later.

Ace,

You missed the most important part of the speech - Hillary's phoney street slang.

Over time, she says, that media-driven desensitization teaches children — quote — "that it's OK to dis people because they're women or they're a different color or they're from a different place."
Word, yo.

Hillary continued, "You want to teach the shorties, hep a brah out, not be trash-talkin dey peeps. WORD."
As the room erupted in applause, she concluded; "KLINTOON IN THA HIZZ-OUSE! PEACE!"

She's made a list and checked it twice. This was the "family values" item. She just came back from a foreign trip to non-white places. Religion might be next, maybe including some nice buddhism to reach out to the Chrisitan Values crowd without riling the Unchurched Left.

After she's been through the schedule once, watchers ought to be able to triangulate her next likely move. One thing for sure: wherever loser Kerry is issue-wise, she won't be.

"One thing for sure: wherever loser Kerry is issue-wise, she won't be."

Does that mean we won't see her striding around a Wisconsin cornfield with a shotgun and brand-new camouflage pantsuit?

Aww shucks.
