I am NEVER silent about anything-I am quite sure my husband can attest to that-and I'm quite sure I don't feel a need to spew personal attacks, like too many on here do. I guess we're done with this now. Or at least I am. Now, everyone can get back to their little lives, much calmer and saner, now. : ) How does my kid say it? - Yeah, I'm SOOOO over it.

However, as said earlier, I did clearly state I thought the whole idea was tacky and uncalled for, and that I was simply assuming why people at Onion thought it was all right to do. I do, Liberal, appreciate your rather intelligent response, along with your clarification as to why you said what you did. However, the rest of this is very typical reactionary commentary that unlike yourself, seem to have a hard time reading past their noses, and I'm really tired of wasting time on this issue. Tue, 3 Nov 2009 19:28:17 +0000 http://bighollywood.breitbart.com/bighollywood/2009/11/02/the-onion-tragic-news-glenn-beck-not-dead/#IDComment41671571 http://bighollywood.breitbart.com/bighollywood/2009/11/02/the-onion-tragic-news-glenn-beck-not-dead/#IDComment41671353 Interesting how all of you have decided that you know how "people like Lissa" are simply because I didn't cover every iota of this subject in my short little responses to this inane subject. Interesting how you also assume that, because every possibility isn't addressed in my response, that you automatically discern EXACTLY what I meant, or didn't mean. Guess what? It ISN'T okay for people on the left to make those kinds of comments, and I said just that in a reply to another comment. Because I didn't address it in THIS comment does not mean you have any idea what I mean or think. (And I couldn't even begin to justify pi; I suck big wong at all things mathematical.) Plus, and this is directed to another response accusing me of such things as anti-semitism, my mom's family was Jewish, dude - wrong-o, yet again. (Where he came up with that tirade, I've no clue.) Tue, 3 Nov 2009 19:27:48 +0000 http://bighollywood.breitbart.com/bighollywood/2009/11/02/the-onion-tragic-news-glenn-beck-not-dead/#IDComment41671353 http://bighollywood.breitbart.com/bighollywood/2009/11/02/the-onion-tragic-news-glenn-beck-not-dead/#IDComment41630009 Nope, not at all - though it might not be a bad suggestion. : ) Tue, 3 Nov 2009 14:41:48 +0000 http://bighollywood.breitbart.com/bighollywood/2009/11/02/the-onion-tragic-news-glenn-beck-not-dead/#IDComment41630009 http://bighollywood.breitbart.com/bighollywood/2009/11/02/the-onion-tragic-news-glenn-beck-not-dead/#IDComment41629948 Dude, calm down. I'm shocked, since you "sound" intelligent enough, that you missed COMPLETELY that I didn't at all say it was right to make fun of anyone's death. Even those boneheads. I merely said, I can understand why that sort of humor is being used, not that it should be. I never, ever wished for even the Shrub and company's demises; simply that they would stop. Interesting that because of a comment made on a web page, that you assume you know any of what I do or do not see or understand. As I said, Sparky - maybe calming down should be your next task, and then getting a grip on what you THINK you know regarding other people. You've not a clue, at all, what equity I do or do not see. Tue, 3 Nov 2009 14:40:57 +0000 http://bighollywood.breitbart.com/bighollywood/2009/11/02/the-onion-tragic-news-glenn-beck-not-dead/#IDComment41629948 http://bighollywood.breitbart.com/bighollywood/2009/11/02/the-onion-tragic-news-glenn-beck-not-dead/#IDComment41629236 Such clever repartee. (Go ahead, look the word up. I'll wait.) Interesting I find most of these response notifications in my junk mail. Makes sense. Tue, 3 Nov 2009 14:36:19 +0000 http://bighollywood.breitbart.com/bighollywood/2009/11/02/the-onion-tragic-news-glenn-beck-not-dead/#IDComment41629236 http://bighollywood.breitbart.com/bighollywood/2009/11/02/the-onion-tragic-news-glenn-beck-not-dead/#IDComment41587956 Gee, SGT - someone disagrees with the guy, and are tired of his crap, that means they are "afraid" of him? Not even. They are just simply - oh, what was that now? Tired of him. The guy doesn't evoke fear, he evokes disgust, and people are sick of his (and all of FOX's) messages of hate and bigotry, and constant refusal to do anything to cooperate with anyone other than themselves. (Like some guy said up there, big deal, that 3,000,000 watch him; they also watch silly and trashy "reality" shows, and Springer, et al, and none of them are worth the celluloid, as well.) It's been going on for years at FOX, and Beck is just the newest manifestation. The whines at the conservative end of it is simply because they aren't "at the top", anymore. When their boy had control, no problem. Get over yourselves, the rest of the country is learning it, finally. Tue, 3 Nov 2009 04:26:16 +0000 http://bighollywood.breitbart.com/bighollywood/2009/11/02/the-onion-tragic-news-glenn-beck-not-dead/#IDComment41587956 http://bighollywood.breitbart.com/bighollywood/2009/11/02/the-onion-tragic-news-glenn-beck-not-dead/#IDComment41584333 Interesting that what you accuse the Onion of doing is the EXACT thing Republicans seem to have become - so full of hate they forget everything else. Anyone else missing that point? It's pretty obvious to most people I talk to. Tue, 3 Nov 2009 03:37:09 +0000 http://bighollywood.breitbart.com/bighollywood/2009/11/02/the-onion-tragic-news-glenn-beck-not-dead/#IDComment41584333 http://bighollywood.breitbart.com/bighollywood/2009/11/02/the-onion-tragic-news-glenn-beck-not-dead/#IDComment41584083 I agree with Ben, in regard to the conservatives doing their "wah wah" thing, though I also agree completely with SweetPea2 (sorry for your loss, that's gotta be very tough), in that losing someone in an automobile accident should never be used as fodder for humor, even IF it's Glenn Beck. Maybe they could just make him explode...Or implode might be more appropriate. He is an idiot, and those who defend him are as mean-spirited, bigoted, and absolutely laughably ludicrous as he is. No one is afraid of him; just tired of him. Tue, 3 Nov 2009 03:33:45 +0000 http://bighollywood.breitbart.com/bighollywood/2009/11/02/the-onion-tragic-news-glenn-beck-not-dead/#IDComment41584083 http://www.woodtv.com/dpp/news/local/kent_county/Kent_County_man_dies_from_H1N1_virus#IDComment41281344 :) Trust me, it takes a lot more than comments on a web page to rock my anything, let alone my world. And guess what? You were not the only one who wrote comments on the story - so, I was actually addressing someone else's comment! Fancy that, that it really WASN'T all about you. No, really. You impress me, though - you actually said something kind regarding people - I guess there IS hope for mankind. Thanks for reinforcing. (Honestly, I DO agree with your assessment of checking the panic; not so much about your way of conveyance. O, well - the world has room for all folks' opinions.) Sat, 31 Oct 2009 12:35:12 +0000 http://www.woodtv.com/dpp/news/local/kent_county/Kent_County_man_dies_from_H1N1_virus#IDComment41281344 http://www.woodtv.com/dpp/news/local/kent_county/Kent_County_man_dies_from_H1N1_virus#IDComment41246801 irefusetolongin - what an idiot and a waste of any more time taken other than to clarify that. I'm sure it's past his bedtime; maybe mommy and daddy are out and he gets to stay on the computer while the babysitter's there. Obama declared it an emergency situation simply to free up agencies and such to be able to address the issue faster and with less bureaucratic hassles than what is usual. In regard to the H1N1 affected most people mildly - that does seem to be the case in most circumstances; however, the people getting more adversely affected by it doesn't seem to fit into any particular rhyme or reason, and that's likely one of the major things that put people more on edge. Regardless, it's a shame that people have died from this, and quite a shock for those families of seemingly healthy people. Tragic. Sat, 31 Oct 2009 02:31:54 +0000 http://www.woodtv.com/dpp/news/local/kent_county/Kent_County_man_dies_from_H1N1_virus#IDComment41246801 http://www.woodtv.com/dpp/news/local/ottawa_county/GH_cop_wont_be_on_sex_offender_list#IDComment41158184 I think the sentence that has the words "one of his victims" quite clearly says that he IS a predator. He did it knowingly - at least twice, that he's been caught at - and why in the heck does HE get this preferential treatment, when some young men who might at one point date a 16 year old girl when the boys were 17 years old have to be put on that offender list? This cheesehead's been caught, has admitted what he did, AND screwed around on his wife, and embarrassed his whole family, who are also victims, of a sort. Unbelievable. Fri, 30 Oct 2009 04:05:52 +0000 http://www.woodtv.com/dpp/news/local/ottawa_county/GH_cop_wont_be_on_sex_offender_list#IDComment41158184 http://www.woodtv.com/dpp/news/local/ottawa_county/Hoekstra_hosts_town_hall_on_health_care#IDComment39188605 Wood-TV - Hoekstra's "pony-boy". I wonder if they actually bow down to him when he enters their studios. Encouraging dissention, going out of his way to help people figure out how to effectively spread exaggerations, and do it in a argumentative way? And all done from some religious-backed "pulpit"? Separation of church and state - that WAS an edict of this country's Constitution, no? Sorry - NOT what I want anyone I support to feel that's what politics should entail. Maybe the "momentum's fading" from these town halls because people have seen how wrong they are. Ooops, wait; that wouldn't be something Wood-TV would report. My bad. Sun, 18 Oct 2009 12:25:12 +0000 http://www.woodtv.com/dpp/news/local/ottawa_county/Hoekstra_hosts_town_hall_on_health_care#IDComment39188605 http://www.woodtv.com/dpp/news/national/nat_ap_obama_to_give_nobel_prize_to_charity_20091009#IDComment38267214 And Mike; As far as your and RHL's assessments that no facts are being out forth whenever the left makes arguments against some of the ridiculous claims made by the right throughout this administration - most all of the right's arguments for ANYTHING Obama says, thinks, or does are based completely on falsehoods and made up BS, and sorry - you appear more intelligent than to fall automatically for some of the more idiotic, obviously unfounded ca-ca the right claims as real. People need to be more selective in what they automatically fall for. I'm not saying I agree with everything this administration has done. I do, however, agree with a lot more with this presidency thus far than what happened with the last, or with the hateful rhetoric the right seems full of. I believe working together is far preferable to the dissention that is all the right seems to toss out. No solutions; just insults. If I'm silly because of that, insult away. It's better than being of no real good at all. Sun, 11 Oct 2009 13:30:22 +0000 http://www.woodtv.com/dpp/news/national/nat_ap_obama_to_give_nobel_prize_to_charity_20091009#IDComment38267214 http://www.woodtv.com/dpp/news/national/nat_ap_obama_to_give_nobel_prize_to_charity_20091009#IDComment38267189 No, Mike - I'm not saying that at all. Regardless of when the nomination was made, the actual choice was not based solely on that, and was made more recently. I, too, was surprised at his choice. Hearing their justification for it made somewhat more sense. It's been said far more eloquently than I could; that he is at least attempting to make strides forward in working for peace around the globe. And I didn't make this part up - much of this was more a slam at the Bush administration; that's NOT left wing anything, that's what it said in many non-bias news reports. You people ask "what has he done to win this?" Doesn't it say alot when all you have to do to win one is not be George Bush? Sun, 11 Oct 2009 13:29:55 +0000 http://www.woodtv.com/dpp/news/national/nat_ap_obama_to_give_nobel_prize_to_charity_20091009#IDComment38267189 http://www.woodtv.com/dpp/news/national/nat_ap_obama_to_give_nobel_prize_to_charity_20091009#IDComment38265852 Gee whiz - everything is left-wing bias and lies EXCEPT FOX News? Ooops, that's right - "fair and balanced". How COULD I forget? Man; thanks for keeping an eye out for those of us who can't figure it out for ourselves. What WOULD we do without you right-wingers who are the only ones who truly understand everything? ::smirk:: Now, I'm done with this science fiction world some of you people seem to live in and I'll get back to real life, thanks. Sun, 11 Oct 2009 12:56:16 +0000 http://www.woodtv.com/dpp/news/national/nat_ap_obama_to_give_nobel_prize_to_charity_20091009#IDComment38265852 http://www.woodtv.com/dpp/news/national/nat_ap_obama_to_give_nobel_prize_to_charity_20091009#IDComment38160431 You know, I don't remember once President Obama calling himself a lifesaver or a god or "your highness" or any such nonsense. However, what he did say was that he would work to try and make things better, and that it would take some time - impossible to fix in a couple of months. Do people really, truly think things were supposed to be fixed overnight? Come on; you were sure patient enough watching the right-wing, et al, express come plowing through; you honestly want more of that mess in office again? The idea that the nomination was made 12 days after he was in office has NOTHING to do with the decision; his work to try and better international relations and peace has been watched for much longer than that. One would think, if all of the detractors pride themselves on being "good Americans", that they'd be happy that for the first time in almost a decade, this great country's been pulled away a little from being the laughingstock it had become. Some of these answers are just like a typical right-winger: short-sighted and uninformed. More sour grapes. Waah waah fricken waah. Sat, 10 Oct 2009 12:37:43 +0000 http://www.woodtv.com/dpp/news/national/nat_ap_obama_to_give_nobel_prize_to_charity_20091009#IDComment38160431 http://www.woodtv.com/dpp/news/national/nat_ap_obama_to_give_nobel_prize_to_charity_20091009#IDComment38158751 Yeah I do. And luckily for me, I can even understand English - ALL English, not just selective sentences like most of the right seems afflicted with. : ) Sat, 10 Oct 2009 12:26:07 +0000 http://www.woodtv.com/dpp/news/national/nat_ap_obama_to_give_nobel_prize_to_charity_20091009#IDComment38158751 http://www.woodtv.com/dpp/news/national/nat_ap_obama_to_give_nobel_prize_to_charity_20091009#IDComment38020795 Honest to pete, these sore losers are tedious; get over the fact that YOU LOST, and try working WITH people who might know something more than you do instead of doing anything and everything to complain and whine, no matter what it is. I sure hope they are even an iota less ignorant than they appear. And perhaps you can learn something from a president who hasn't done his utmost to make your lives difficult, which is exactly what your last elected official did. Give this one a break; it's hard to clean up the mess that your choice made. Fri, 9 Oct 2009 19:37:49 +0000 http://www.woodtv.com/dpp/news/national/nat_ap_obama_to_give_nobel_prize_to_charity_20091009#IDComment38020795 http://www.woodtv.com/dpp/news/local/se_mich/Dog_was_stabbed_and_ignited_in_public#IDComment33165056 LOL why am I not surprised that your succinct and clever response is the best you can come up with. Here's the deal, Spanky - once you learn how to interact with adults, you'll get to be a big boy (girl?), and learn to discern what's funny and what's not. In the interim, keep reading the grown-up news and keep hoping that one day, you might even learn how to BE one. You are a waste of time. Do not bother trying to come up with anything MORE to say - I'd hate to see you waste the obviously few resources for thinking that you own. Go turn on a reality show or something; I'm sure you can follow that.
