Hi Attaturk. Well before I got to your last sentence the impage of Jonah Goldberg’s appearance on the Daily Show came to mind. Some of these folks, including Goldberg, are too clueless to believe.

If Republicans were capable of shame, this guy and Goldberg should induce some red faces. Not gonna happen.

Did this clown go to the joint?

1,729 DAYZ AND THE KILLIN’ GOEZ ON AND ON AND..

Citizen Attaturk and the early mornin’ Firepup Freedom Fighters:

Every time I read or hear of another of these fascist nut cases, I dispair of the devolution of our culture and society…unfortunately there is a fascist gene in our historical chomosome string and you ken jest point yer finger at any time in our history and see the contours of fascism jest beneath the surface. However, today is the first time that fascism has taken control of every aspect of our lives, I don’t think we’re gunna survive this one ‘cuz the corporate structure that sustains the ideology has sucked us dry.

So let’s laugh at ol’ Jonah and the rest of the herd of pathetic sociopaths…I’m thru taken ‘em seriously.

KEEP THE FAITH AND TAKE NO FUCKIN’ PRISONERS!!

1,729 DAYZ AND THE KILLIN’ GOEZ ON AND ON AND..

Citizen Raven:

Yo, Brother Raven…how’s yer buddy the Jarhead…didja break out the “good stuff” I hope?

KEEP THE FAITH AND DON’T LET THE BASTARDS DATE YER DAUGHTERS!!

It was great. We dragged out a big coffee table book I have. I had not seen it but there was a shot of him with his 60 on Operation Pegasus, the caption said “a soldier from the 1st Air Cav”! After ribbing him he did admit that it was the Cav that dusted him off when he got hit. The Smithstonian made a film about the 25th Anniversary of the Wall and he is a significant part of it. Hwe and his lady have just retired and headed to Colorado to see how they like it.

Good morning Attaturk and firepups.

Ahh yes, Chad Castagana, a typical Amerikun voter.

Yo, Brother Raven…how’s yer buddy the Jarhead…didja break out the “good stuff” I hope?

Ha, the good stuff. Whatchoo got that’s good fo da head. Amazingly,I gave it ALL up 15 years ago, I’m almost a frickin monk! You know what the Mick said, “If I knew I was gonna live this long I would have taken better care of myself”! I’m tryin.

Norske here’s the trailer, my buddy is near the end speaking about the positive aspects of the Wall

The missives, sent from Woodland Hills, contained either baking soda, laundry detergent, or Ajax, substances that apparently were meant to be mistaken for anthrax or another deadly agent.

Any more news of the “person of interest” that bushco was chasing for the anthrax sent to Leahy etc? The last I hear the WH denied that anyone in the administration had done it and the chimp was looking forward to the investigation and would fire anyone involved at the WH.

Good morning pups!

Are you on the left coast?

Back and forth. To California Sunday for a few days, then back east for a few, then the actual move. At least I’m getting some terrific frequent flyer miles.

How’s the wee doggie?

Is Castagana the guy who was identified by the blogger community because his letters sounded so familiar? We become accustomed to particular voices.

This is why Hillary and Barack really need that SS protection. These guys are dime a dozen.

Good morning from the BlueBayState.

Shoulder injury redux that I reported 2 days ago is gone and I am glad to be back ‘talking’ to you.

Morning Egregious (one of my favorite words, btw) and courage as the French say for the big move.

Will be buzzing in and out as I try to do the work that did not get done because of shoulder redux and other things.

Good morning, pups. Today it’s Collins and Cohen in the NYT. TOMC writes about the “Anti-Charm Offensive,” and says if the Republicans were a movie, they’d be one like “The Dirty Dozen” in which a bunch of oddballs get thrown together to accomplish a dangerous mission. We can only hope that this bunch of losers and lunatics won’t prevail. Roger Cohen is desperate and flailing around for something good to say about Republicans, apparently. He came up with the idea that although John McCain is too conservative, and his temperament and age raise concerns, he is too honorable to dismiss at a moment so critical to America’s standing in the world.

The coffee, tea and hot chocolate are ready, and the biscuits (how we say “toast” down here!) are out of the oven. We’ve had a slow, soaking rain since yesterday afternoon that shows no signs of stopping soon. YIPPEE! Have a great day.

“Here’s hopin’ it rains on your parade” is a good wish these days….slow and soaking is even better. We’ve had about three inches of the white stuff here; not as helpful quantity-wise but it soaks in a heck of a lot slower than does rain. *g*

I must admit, as much as I don’t ever want to have to deal with it again, snow is a lot prettier than rain.

I thought of the Jonah/Jon interview too. I want to see all that they cut out.

Good Meaning!

hope your shoulder’s better BSRH
mmm thanks for the biscuits Marion, and it’s one less day of Bush ahead.
and I guess Raven’s off to walk that little bit of a dog he’s got. :)

Waccamaw, did you guys ever have a meet-up?

She’s sooo sweet but we have to address her allergies!

Not yet….gotta get off my behind, touch base with snowbird and try to get something set up. That’s the problem with this time of year; who knows what the weather will bring when ya try to schedule something several weeks in advance.

Can’t remember…are you close enough to the intersects of NC/SC/TN/GA to be able to come?

No, I’m up here in NE,
but if I’m in the neighborhood… ;)

Did Goldbarf do the Daily Show?

Gotta spare bedroom if you can arrange to get here.

Oh man, I am not awake yet. I misread pic at top as ‘A Free Thinker is Santa’s Slave’.

Waccamaw, where do u live?

Well….if you count up the days, spend about half the year in WNC and the other in ENC. Not a bad deal except for the distance in between. Western end of the state ’til early March.

Just wondered if you were from the Myrtle Beach area. Going down for spring break.

Ya know, most people would spend winter in the warmer part of the state. *g*

solai -

When’s spring break? I might be there by then.

spacefish -

Way too complicated for comments….believe me, I would be, if feasible. *g*

Good morning Attaturk and all from the east coast of Pa.
Norske Good to see you, thought you where corrected by the boyz and to everyone time to turn up the heat on the clowns.

As I recall, this loser also lived with his mommy and daddy — at age 40. Hey loser! Rather than writing threatening letters and mailing them, how about getting your own place to live?

And isn’t it interesting they managed to catch the one who sent the fake stuff….the one who actually killed people, not so much.

You know, this phenomenon is present in lots of situations. Take health care — the vast majority of Americans don’t want “socialized medicine.” I have been watching this for over 25 years. Back then, it was worse. As time goes by, and health insurance companies get greedier and greedier, more and more want socialized medicine. Why? THEY are suffering. (Who cares about others?)

What happened to Americans wanting the common good? Did they ever?

fresh thread upstairs

In point of fact, since the days of Harry Truman, when things are explained clearly and in perspective, the vast majority, consistantly in the 70% range do, actually, support a ’single-payer’ type system AND, ahem!, they are willing to pay higher taxes to support such a program.

Sorry no linkerages, but simple investigation will confirm this assertion.

Well, I don’t know about the “person of interest”, but apparently that anthrax did come from Ft. Detrick, here in Frederick, Maryland. How or who got that material out has not been determined. Yet, the U.S. Army Medical Research Institute of Infectious Diseases (USAMRIID)is planning to expand its labs at Ft. Detrick, including the biosecurity level-4 spaces where researchers study agents with a high risk of life-threatening disease for
which no vaccine or therapy is available.

In case you don’t know, and why should you, Frederick is a city of more than 55,000 people. Ft. Detrick is the largest employer. USAMRIID has submitted an Environmental Impact Statement saying that their plans are fine, excellent, no danger threatens our 55,000+ people. Some citizens question that assessment and there will be some activity tonight where the Army will defend its Environmental Impact Statement. Some citizens will be questioning that defense.

The Army and various citizens submit that Ft. Detrick has an excellent safety and security record.

Other citizens question that assertion, given the fact that (and here we go, back to paragraph 1) the anthrax that was mailed out and caused 5 deaths in 2001 came from Ft. Detrick, indicating a possible breach of security.

Of course, none of the 5 people murdered by that anthrax lived here in Frederick, and even if they all did – 5 people killed as the result of a security defect would leave about 54,995 not killed. Unless one of the 5 is you or yours, that’s pretty good odds.

Compulsive ‘voter’? Compulsive idiot more likely.
