Hillary Clinton began a news conference Tuesday by somberly saying that she and Barack Obama “need to do something so that our party and our people can make the right decision.” That made some of the reporters think she might be about to drop out of the race. But it was actually an April Fools’ joke, as Clinton ended up challenging Obama to a bowling contest. “Chris Matthews looked totally like, ‘You mean I might actually be in the presence of real news?’” Clinton said of the MSNBC host, who was at the press conference. “It was fun.” And as it turns out, not only is Obama terrible at bowling (he scored only 37 when he bowled a few days ago), but Clinton apparently isn’t too bad. She told reporters later that she has her own ball and shoes, and used to bowl at Camp David.

Probably easy to bowl over the media.
No more discussion about Hillary’s lies. No new articles about her positions on the issues.
But, funny haha! Let’s pass on a stupid joke.
And I’m surprised she had time to bowl at Camp David
(her own shoes and ball even).
I thought she was busy meeting world leaders and negotiating world peace and gaining important experience?
By his performance.
I would say this was likely the very first time Senator Obama had ever been bowling.
It really doesn’t matter that. But it’s probably not the best idea to invite the press.
” “Chris Matthews looked totally like, ‘You mean I might actually be in the presence of real news?’” Clinton said of the MSNBC host, who was at the press conference. ”
Yeah Chris and journalism have become kinda estranged of late.
The thought of Hill-Billy bending over with those ponderous thighs makes me throw gutter balls.
Well sounds like Senator Clinton would be up to settling the race with a bowl off! That’s ok by me. I don’t think it’s a good idea for Obama and his supporters though…
Maybe a coin flip?
We really ARE fortunate to have two such popular candidates. Cursed even maybe with our good fortune.
I’m having trouble with the link. But political observer Michael Barone has calculated the remaining states and projects that Obama will win the delegate count.
But Senator Clinton will win in popular votes.
SO the super delegates are gonna be presented with a 7 10 split.
“The thought of Hill-Billy bending over with those ponderous thighs”
Why don’t we hear derogatory comments about the MALE candidates? So, Hillary has a thigh issue.
McCain has a jowl, belly and comb-over issue.
Should we call McCain His Jowliness? Sir Combover? Mr. Barnstorming Belly?
Why are the physical issues only directed at women?
Because wsc Regular is as sexist as his words. And because he and his have nothing positive so must think (?) using negatives will somehow come off positive for their side. Or maybe it’s still that one brain with the few sound bites. He reminds everyone how lacking the other side truly is!
Thank you WS, being a male and pointing that out. It’s inappropriate and a cheap shot to start putting anyone down because of their physical characteristics. Who among us is physically perfect?
Yeah Chris and journalism have become kinda estranged of late.
Hehehe, good one.
Obama should challenge her to basketball . . .
Regular is the king of the sickening sexual crudity.
Guess that’s the kind of perverse thinking not-getting-any forces one into . . .

Actually, a ball-off would be more newsworthy.
It wasn’t even funny. Her joke delivery is worse than mine.
Political Mama, Songbird, and Everyone Else,
I am a studying Christian Apologist. A Christian Apologist is someone who basically defends the scripture from those who seek to attack the scripture or who have questions about it. I love to answer questions from those who are earnestly seeking answers. I sometimes feel the need to also defend the accusations made by those who seek only to attack the scripture.
It is fairly obvious to me that both you (Political Mama and Songbird) do not earnestly seek any answers to the Bible at all and seek to merely attack the scripture with your posting of that website link about the Bible condoning rape and murder.
That is fine. I have come to expect from several of you here on this blog little more than the quick drive by attacks on the scripture you make.
Many, if not all, of the attacks made on the Bible are made from complete ignorance or willful deception.
That website you posted is obviously on the willful deception side of things.
As with most attacks on the Bible, the attack takes something out of context and then makes a twisted distortion on what is actually said in some attempt to prove the Bible is saying something it is not.
The book of Judges is a history of the people of Israel. It is actually a story of the complete moral decline of those people and how they turned from God and fell into civil war and idolatry.
The book of Judges, in the verses quoted by your website link, doesn’t make any attempt to justify what happened or condone what happened. It is history. It is a history shown to us so that we may learn from it and not do those horrible things.
Yes, those horrible things did take place. History is full of many horrible things. Telling the story is not a proclamation for the horrible things that took place to be continued.
Does the Bible condone rape and murder? Of course not. Did people in history rebel from God and do bad things like rape and murder? Yes. Does telling that story of rebellion from God in turn mean that the Bible is condoning those things? Of course not.
In school we teach our children about the Holocaust. The Holocaust is in the History books. Does teaching our children about that horrible history mean that we condone it? Of course not.
So, that website makes no attempt to actually put into context what the book of Judges is, the story the Book of Judges is telling, or anything at all. The website merely pulls out some verses and then assumes it is some Biblical proclamation.
So you ask me to defend the Bible and what it says in Judges? There you have it. I do not defend or condone the actions of the people in Judges and neither does the Bible. It is history. If we ignore history, no matter how bad it is, we are doomed to repeat it.
Do preachers ignore these verses? No. Most preachers are concerned with the spiritual growth and nourishment of the church. It is the job of the small group Bible studies and your own studies to get into the depths of the Bible and the Pastor oversees these. I have been to plenty of them where we get into some in depth discussions over these types of verses.
These verses are not ignored at all. Most of us simply have enough common sense to see the context of them instead of trying to pull out random verses and trying to say they mean things they don’t.
I have no problem with answering your questions. Let’s hear what YOUR questions are. Don’t waste time finding some random website which is so obviously full of crap.
There are good things to get out of the Book of Judges if you are actually studying the Book. Going to websites like the one you posted will never give you those things though.
Nathan I appreciate your response, but as you can plainly see, only a handful of those verses came from Judges. I know that you likely believe the bible is the inerrant and literal word of God, meaning that there is little room for interpretation (well I guess except when it is convenient).
By the way, about Lot…
29:28 And Lot! (Remember) when he said unto his folk: Lo! ye commit lewdness such as no creature did before you. Male homosexual activities are condemned as unnatural.
29:29 For come ye not in unto males, and cut ye not the road (for travellers), and commit ye not abomination in your meetings ? But the answer of his folk was only that they said: Bring Allah’s doom upon us if thou art a truthteller! “Bring Allah’s doom upon us.”
Doom in the Quran
For disbelievers a painful doom
29:30 He said: My Lord! Give me victory over folk who work corruption.
29:31 And when Our messengers brought Abraham the good news, they said: Lo! we are about to destroy the people of that township, for its people are wrong-doers.
29:32 He said: Lo! Lot is there. They said: We are best aware of who is there. We are to deliver him and his household, all save his wife, who is of those who stay behind.
29:33 And when Our messengers came unto Lot, he was troubled upon their account, for he could not protect them; but they said: Fear not, nor grieve! Lo! we are to deliver thee and thy household, (all) save thy wife, who is of those who stay behind.
29:34 Lo! We are about to bring down upon the folk of this township a fury from the sky because they are evil-livers.
That’s from the Quran. Sound sort of familiar?
I’ll be back later.
Ever hear of an open thread Nathan?
Yesterday’s Open Thread is closed.
Political Mama,
Do you want me to go over the rest of the verses listed at your website? Seriously?
I addressed the first one and quite plainly illustrated the absurdity of that websites claims.
I can just as easily go through the rest of those verses and demonstrate the absurdity of that website.
You obviously have no idea what I believe. Even your little snipe saying “when it is convenient” continues to show you only wish to fling poop at me. You have no desire to seek truth, to find answers or to understand anything when you do that.
I do believe the Bible is the literal and inerrant word of God.
That doesn’t mean everything is taken literaly though. For some reason when someone says they believe as I do, those who seek to attack the Bible will find some verse which is obviously not to be taken literally (like when the Bible says to cut off your hand or etc…)
So please don’t try that line on me.
Do you have any comments on what I posted in refutation of your posted website or is saying I only addressed one section your only reply?
Do you continue to stick by that website as truthful?
So are you really seeking answers or just flinging poo?
Thanks to the Bush tax cuts, the tax burden has declined for all income groups, but lower income groups experienced more relief in terms of percentage-point reductions than did the wealthiest households.
test.
Very funny jokes Thanks for sharing this funny jokes!!
