(Petunia and Pals) The couch responds to Costas: “He might have strangled her instead.”
- Lunch is served - Hey guys, remember that time when intellectually dishonest word-person and Xristian Xrazie homophobe moral scold D’Vorce D’Spousa decided to bang his fan club and introduced her as his fiancee while still married to his current wife, thus making him a would-be polygamist and infamous hypocrite?

- School Daze - Hey guys, remember that time when LA Governor and noted volcano scholar and boy exorcist Bobby “Bubba” Jindal decided to turn tax money over to Xristian Xrazies to run schools?

The Fox News perspective: “Some people say he could have just strangled her!”
The couch responds to Costas: “He might have strangled her instead.”
I’m a judo player. Choke holds are legal in our sport. It takes a hell of a lot more effort to strangle someone than to squeeze a trigger. Plus, it’s an up-close, “in your face” process. It’s the sort of thing that someone can stop doing if they “come to their senses”. A trigger squeeze is a much less visceral act, it’s got to be a lot less emotionally wrenching. Of course, most of the people I fight are tough guys who make me look like “Rainbow Brite”. The one time I choked a young woman (it was an instructional exercise), I felt disgusted with myself for a couple of hours.

Another reason not to feel like a heel when you decline to put a nickel on the drum. They’re anti-gay and anti-drunken bum. To hell with their salvation.
