Apart from the Schadenfreude I feel when a right-wing whack job “get his” — and things like this make me believe there IS a God — I am reminded of the lyrics of an old Oscar Brand ballad about the perils facing guys looking for adventure in our Minneapolis sister city of Winnipeg:

With apologies in advance to my Canadian friends, and to all who may find this sexist or poor taste, I think it went something like this:

My first trip up the Chippeway River,
My first trip to Canadian shore,
There I met young Miss O’Flanagan,
Commonly known as the Winnipeg Whore.

She took my arm and led me quickly,
To the place she used for sleep.
Dirty old room with straw-filled mattress,
Wasn’t too clean — but she sure was cheap!

Well, she was as slick as a slippery mullet,
And I didn’t know what she was about,
‘Til I missed my watch and my wallet,
“Holy Moses!” I called out

Then up ran the whores and the sons-of-a-bitches,
Up to the tune of “Forty or More.”
Took my coat, my shoes and my britches,
And away they went high-tailin’ out of the door.

Yes in Winnipeg I learned my lesson,
I learned it good ’cause I learned it there:
If you’re gonna visit a Winnipeg whore, boys,
Better make sure that you visit her BARE!

If this guy really wants war, he should suit up. Trade in that Prada for a web belt…get deployed and maybe replace one of my friends in Iraq (on his third tour) so he can come home and his mother can stop holding her breath. Every time some fool tells me how great it is to have our people fighting some foreign war that’s really not about anything (other than profits) my response is always, suit up – or shut up. It’s always easier to be macho when it ain’t your ass on the line.

How did we “F” ourselves for finding this somewhat comical? You are right, it is called karma and that is what he gets for being ignorant, not to mention hypocritical. Why is it fine and dandy for Israel and the U.S. to have nuclear weapons but not Iran? Ethnocentric maybe? Never.

I didn't steal his stuff, nor did I have anything to do with the person that did. It’s pretty simple; he is a jerk, something bad happened to him, end of story. So, tell me why I am F'ed again?

So you think this one guy adequately represents the views of the Republican party? Ouch.

I agree that the robbery was wrong and shouldn't be celebrated.

With all due respect, stating douchebag ad nauseam is not exactly articulate either.

Look at the interviewer in this segment. He pauses after the man states “They (Israel) don't threaten the world”, as if the interviewer doesn't believe that statement. I wouldn't be surprised if he didn't even mind a Nuclear Iran.

The Minnesota Democrat is more like it. If you really think this site is “independent” then I feel sorry for you. Compare how many stories criticize the republican ticket to the democrats and tell me this site is “fair”. Also, I know this will be painful for some to admit, but a nuclear Iran does threaten Israel — their leaders calling for the obliteration of them and all.
