first to say it's crazy to let felons vote because once someone has done something bad, they should be exiled into eternal darkness and gnashing of teeth

9:27 - Judge not lest ye be judged. Let he who is without sin cast the first stone. Etc., etc., etc. Freak.

Until this legitimate sport is sanctioned and recognized as an Olympic event, it will sadly continue to be lumped in with [beep]-tossing, wet tee shirt contests, and other exciting hobbies.

McCaskill seems to think that she or the people of Missouri generally own AB. How sad.

9:41,

It's more likely that McCaskill knows that the people of Missouri generally own her, and that they think they own AB, too. She can't do anything to keep AB's board from acting, as they must, in the best interests of the shareholders' bottom line. She knows that.

But if she makes enough noise, those mouth-breathers who elected her might be inclined to reelect her.

"But after five weeks of intense instruction and supervision, and more weeks of acclimation, Leo is now — with all due respect —a pussy . . ."

Such an unfortunate line break.

Crist is a democrat in republican clothing.

Letting felons vote only increases Democrat voting roles - (go figure)

All democrats are felons.
