Naw, I pretty much limit my role in the Great BN Wars to that of interested observer. I was a newbie to board posting back when they first broke out and had never seen the like. Truth be told, it was fascinating the way people on Daddy's would harrow each other from thread to thread berating each other over BN. Seems like the anti-BN crowd had an edge in numbers but the pro side make it up in vitriol. 1 I mean for a good two years even the most tangential mention of Ben was enough to reduce the site to nuclear rubble. After a while some of us would post side bets on how long it would take for Daddy to start locking down threads and putting folks in time out. If I remember it right a couple of times he even shut down the whole site to get folks to calm down. Like I said, this ole country boy had never seen the like. ==== 1 I don't mean RA1, of course. His posts in defence of BN were always models of cool reason (whew...almost fucked up on that one. ).

. . . Well, maybe we should get a life. Face it, sweetie, this is our life. . . .

— you've got marriage equality! That makes 30 states now with marriage equality. I didn't think I'd see this in my lifetime but happy I did! http://www.nytimes.com/2014/10/07/us/denying-review-justices-clear-way-for-gay-marriage-in-5-states.html

Jimmy Carter, on the outcome of his efforts as a Georgia state legislator to repeal a law that let people cast votes on behalf of recently deceased relatives: ...Come the next election, I failed to carry A single district with a cemetery. -- Jimmy Carter, Always a Reckoning

Made you read & respond, dint it.

I cannot remember there ever being an election in another country besides this past year's in Chile, maybe Iceland(?), where the top two candidates were both women. This is happening today in Brasil where Dilma is going up Marina Silva. May the winner of the scissoring cum out on top? Rumor is that Dilma's long-time "housekeeper" is actually her live-in lover. Nickname for lesbian/dyke here is Sapa(frog) or Sapatao(Big Frog).

Congrats to the state that elected a dead man to the Senate.

Like they say in the "Hood"...... SUCK IT !!!!!!!!!!

It is often hard when one gets older and moves from twink to manly man. But, IMHO, he has done that very well and although he takes digs at this site, he knows we all here still love him (regardless of his agenda) and we even allow discussions on this site about some of his favorite topics. Anyone seen any new photos of Ben lately? I know not a twink, but he is a very sexy man.

"As the 32-year-old "Neighbors" star and Franco have done several times in the past -- remember their spoof on Kanye West's "Bound 2" music video, starring Rogen as Kim Kardashian? -- the comedic duo may just be at it again."

You know, I think Oppenheimer did say or write something rather similar. Let me investigate.

Looks like the polls were wrong for second place in the run-off in three weeks. Aecio Neves, a grandson of the beloved Tancredo Neves and former governor of Minas Gerias looks to ahead of the Amazonian Marina Silva, former minister for the environment.
