My wife now refuses to wear her "Palins."
I'm sorry, but I thought those glasses were kind of sexy, on my wife at least.

I argued that now that lady's history but my wife said, "No. I'll think of her whenever I wear them."

I'll just add the glasses to yet another thing that the Republicans screwed up.

1. Nothing hotter than a woman dressed in a business suit.
Palin touched on something very primal in a lot of men. Too bad she's an idiotic rwing dingbat. With some intelligence between her ears she'd be very nice.

4. I can't say that Palin touched any part of me, although she did ruin my wife's glasses.
My wife isn't a big one for business suits. She's more jeans and sweatshirt.

I kind of liked the glasses with the birthday suit though.

7. Seriously
Half of my obsession with Scully comes from her suits.

8. Oh god yes. She's a perfect example.
A lot of people are all over the thong bikinis and whatnot. But give me a woman like Scully in a biz suit. o.m.g.

12. Gillian Anderson's character on the X-Files


Seriously, if I ever had the chance to hook up with Gillian Anderson, I would make her dress up as Scully.

14. Thanks. I never saw the show.
We don't watch all that much television here.

11. And the other half comes from the fact--FACT-- that

2. I posted similar a while back -
I used to love women in glasses, including my wife. But, it's hard to separate glasses & Palin now.

5. I'm not sure my wife knows who Tina Fey is.
I'm hoping we'll all forget who Sarah Palin was too.

6. Did she give up high heels, too?
Gawd, that was a sexist thing to say.

But still . . .

OK, back to reality now, and "sensible" shoes on women.

9. She has never worn them.
We always thought they looked kind of dangerous. I can't say that even as a man, I get the point, pun intended.

My wife badly injured her ankle when she was 12 falling off platform shoes.

She's a "flats and sneakers" lady, every sexy.

15. I understand her fully. I had the exact same scarf she wore in the
turkey pardoning/killig video. I took it as an opportunity to gather a few more things and took it and gave it all away.
I could never EVER have worn that scarf again..

16. I have Palinesque glasses and I often wear my hair up.
After Palin hit the scene, I started getting a lot more curious glances.

I'm mortified to think that people might imagine I'm imitating her. :scared: In reality, my contacts are bugging me lately and I've always thrown my hair up in a rush.

Palin stole my look and now I can't wear it without feeling slimy! :cry:

17. I know what you mean
I figured that whenever I was checking out a cute girl with glasss, she probably figured I was being a trendy and liked her because she wore glasses like Sarah Palin.

:mad:

19. Yeah, it kinda feels like that.
But only because it happened so much more after Palin hit the scene.

Damn that Palin! She's ruining potential hook-ups!!! :grr:

I always assumed you were a pre-teen based on your posts to the Environment/Energy Forum!

You mean you managed to "grow up" to marriageable age, and maintain the point of view and rhetorical style you display on DU's E/E Forum???

WFT???

Edited on Tue Dec-16-08 07:26 PM by NNadir
make one rather cranky.

I have no idea who you are kiddie, but I can assure you that if there is even ONE of my antagonists at the E&E forum who has better than a sixth grade education in any of the sciences or a fifth grade education in mathematics, that is an awful indictment of the American educational system.

I started writing here in 2002, and in that time the number of stupid dumb ass anti-science fundamentalist anti-nukes who have recognized that 860 < 616 is an untrue statement is ZERO.

http://www.energyalmanac.ca.gov/electricity/electricity_generation.html

Now, I have a 4th grader, and I am very proud of his intellect, but even if I weren't, I would expect him at this point to be able to decide whether 860 is greater or less than 616.

Now this may come as a surprise to an ignorant yuppie, but there is much viciousness on this website, appropriate viciousness in the face of ignorance. No one who deplores ignorance can be sweet about the Bushies.

I consider my contempt for ignorance a moral duty, and I note with deep and unrestrained contempt for the scientifically illiterate anti-nuke cults is consistent with that contempt.

I have been thinking about energy on a profound level - a level that slips obviously over your pathetic little head - for more than 3 decades. I have yet to find one miserable, whiny, rude anti-nuke who can demonstrate even one death from nuclear energy in this country, and I have yet to find one miserable, whiny, puerile, fundamentalist anti-nuke who gives a rat's ass about the 3 million people who will die on this planet this year from dangerous fossil fuel waste.

I therefore consider that this particular ignorance is responsible for 3 million deaths each year, or one holocaust every two or three years. Because I am a moralist, because I have ethics, because I have a responsibility to raise my children to be adults, I couldn't live with myself without that contempt.

Have a nice fluffy whiny day, fluff.

I find it fascinating that NNadir evidently is under the impression that 43,533 < 32,036. For the exact same years as the solar numbers he rants about constantly.

Simply fascinating.

26. Yes it is fascinating, and apparently the 14 year old has come out now
I honestly don't believe that the person behind the screen name could be older than a pre-teen given his rhetoric.

I'm sure you consider yourself a genius with a very http://www.dailykos.com/story/2006/12/22/202710/47">sophisticated view of say, http://www.dailykos.com/story/2006/12/10/1577/8340">morality, honed by years of deep http://www.dailykos.com/story/2007/2/2/93442/01370">liguistic analysis and finely detailed http://www.dailykos.com/story/2007/1/5/161753/7263">scientific sensibility and http://www.dailykos.com/story/2007/6/10/171654/268">a profound sense of history.

On the other hand, it's equally possible that you are http://www.dailykos.com/story/2007/3/12/102523/431">arbitrary little flake with a completely http://www.dailykos.com/story/2007/3/26/163924/653">delusional attitude that merely makes you http://www.dailykos.com/story/2007/5/6/205825/4292">self congratulatory mindless http://www.dailykos.com/story/2007/5/17/191440/670">pseudointellectual http://www.dailykos.com/story/2007/7/8/155848/1345">rhetoric and http://www.dailykos.com/story/2007/1/3/152128/3838">paranoid morally http://www.dailykos.com/story/2006/11/16/10438/196">indifferent fantasies that leave you spectacularly unqualified to adjudge what does and does not constitute http://www.dailykos.com/story/2006/12/28/14154/799">a useful education.

Pressed, I'd expect the latter, since I have zero patience with mindless, lazy, yuppie flakes who cannot think or reason.

And yes, my son is 14, if you must know, and a hell of a lot brighter than you are.

29. Are you sure it's your son who is 14?
Because upthread, you said you have a 4th grader. How many times has your 14 year old 4th grader been left behind?

Or is it possible that all of this contradictory "backstory" is hiding the fact that your are typing your bizarre rhetorical flourishes from Mom's computer in the basement? You know, the one next to the washing machine.
