7 Nice to see that Elmo left this mortal plane in the exact manner I did.

Heh. Love the mystery click Monkey Man flashback in the sidebar. ....Thanks for that.

......

Lyrics to that song seem strangely appropriate these days, and even for this thread topic.....

......

"But Ive been bit and Ive been tossed around....
By every she-rat in this town....
Have you, babe? ....

Well, I am just a monkey man....
Im glad you are a monkey woman too....

Well, I hope we're not too messianic....
Or a trifle too satanic....
We love to play the blues....

Well I am just a monkey man....
Im glad you are a monkey, monkey woman too, babe"

It's probably racist or something.

14 What about Big Bird flying into Air Force One and all you see is an explosion of yellow feathers coming out of the back of the engine?

29 There's no way it's a suicide. He's got a fresh haircut. Would you top yourself after going to the trouble to get a haircut?

Start rounding up all the Christians and Republican bankers in the neighborhood.

33 I think it's hilarious. Is Elmo a disappointed SCOAMT voter?

34 Oh for the love of pete. SNAP OUT OF IT. There's work to be done. I swear you men have no gumption.

Posted by: mama winger at February 27, 2012 02:56 PM (P6QsQ)

35 It's obvious Elmo did it because he ran out of food stamps because of the Republicans and their banker buddies not paying their fair share.

Ben's had that avatar for awhile. It's not as old as, say... THIS FUCKING BLOG SOFTWARE, but it's not new.

It's still good. Better than the Kermit goatse I once posted.

49 I don't need my tin foil hat to see that this is clearly a staged suicide and consequently a crime scene.

Call Dick Wolf ASAP.

51 Hey Ace:

Fuck you and your trivial bullshit like your obsession over movie reviews, trailers and your penchant for burning Catholics at the stake.

That fuckhead Obama is going to cut my 89 year-old father, who fought in WWII, Korea and Vietnam, off of Tricare.

Keep sleeping 'til noon and hitting the New York theaters and doing your best to be the "conservative" Obama -- totally the fuck out of touch with flyover country.

The Obama administrationÂ’s proposed defense budget calls for military families and retirees to pay sharply more for their healthcare, while leaving unionized civilian defense workersÂ’ benefits untouched. The proposal is causing a major rift within the Pentagon, according to U.S. officials. Several congressional aides suggested the move is designed to increase the enrollment in ObamacareÂ’s state-run insurance exchanges.

The disparity in treatment between civilian and uniformed personnel is causing a backlash within the military that could undermine recruitment and retention.

...

Administration officials told Congress that one goal of the increased fees is to force military retirees to reduce their involvement in Tricare and eventually opt out of the program in favor of alternatives established by the 2010 Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act, aka Obamacare.

Â“When they talked to us, they did mention the option of healthcare exchanges under Obamacare. So itÂ’s in their mind,Â” said a congressional aide involved in the issue.

http://freebeacon.com/trashing-tricare/

Get yer shit in a pile when it comes to commenting over things that really resonate with Republican voters, Ace.

And this is a demand, not a request. Only members of congress feel so entitled to be such total dickheads as you to ignore such valid sentiments.

52 Ed Anger - Military TriCare premiums will go up 375% while leaving civil contract premiums (unions) untouched.

53 Elmo was left out of the Muppet Movie and knew there would never be another. He should have considered himself lucky

58 That pic of Elmo reminds me of a pic I saw this weekend of a Kermit the Frog puppet re-enacting the infamous goatse picture, a metaphor perhaps for the effect of the SCOAMF on the American people.

...

No, I am NOT going to do a google image search for it.
