Holy crap, you thought 'Nig' was bad, Santorum is frothing now

quote [ Santorum: "Never going to give... up" ]

Apparently he said that voters and politicians are no strangers to strong emotions, but the electoral process has rules that everyone should be familiar with.

Also, he is fully committed to getting the Republican nomination, and he thinks no other politician could make this claim. He just wanted to announce his firm feelings on this topic and he needs the public to understand.

(he actually did go a little loopy, see here:

You're early, but +1 thumb.

It's 10 AM here and I waited until SE reported that it was 12:00 AM GMT before hitting post. :)

12:00 AM GMT on March 31.

Er... no... it was 10:00 AM on April 1st my local time when I posted it (I'm in GMT +10) so it was 12:00 AM April 1st GMT.

This is not difficult? Surely?

It's good knowing I can post a comment in the thread without the lines re-nigging.

I'm happy to waste time as I choose. I don't care to be fooled in to wasting time because you think it funny. Part of the reason I frequent SE is that I expect better here.

OK, so A) there is actual content in the extended of the post, and B) if you're so time poor that clicking the main link and hearing the first five seconds of the song before you get it and close it actually impacts you, what the hell are you doing on this web site in the first place?

The 'I expect better from SE' attitude that's been cropping up lately mystifies me. This is not a high-brow site. There is some high-brow discussion to be had here from time to time, sure. But it's a weblog. That was initially largely about porn.

Excuse me, Omegaphobic, but this is the internet, and I'll thank you for remembering in future that it is, in fact, SERIOUS BUSINESS.

High-brow, no. Clever, yes. This is not clever.

This site often had high-brow porn.

I rated you +1 funny because I was going to say the same thing. Now I'm worried that I'm laughing at my own joke.

How do I buy no medical life insurance?

Your doctor are able to give you a rough concept of how many treatments you’ll have to aquire the results you’re looking for. Usually, email address details are obvious after a fifth session,

I have this funny feeling that all the downmods are the fruit of the butthurt who got rolled.

Omegaphobic said @ 9:44am GMT on 1st Apr
"Fruit of the Butthurt" sounds kinda gross.

lalanda said @ 11:09am GMT on 1st Apr
Especially if you think of them as a brand of underwear.

damnit said @ 8:07pm GMT on 1st Apr
some clown shit in there, too, culminating into one giant delicious butthurt.
