Good Morning BT

They want spare change!

Got any change to spare?

God I love Satire. Watch out, I can see some Right Wing nuts circulating this article around.

“What he really needs is a job.”

And I vote we give him one, come November *G*

My face hurts from laughing at this.

The sun just popped up…. going for my walk…. see after my 2 miles … and another cuppa.. will be on the lookout for anyone asking for change…

Loves me some Onion! My fav is the “new report” on the trend of outsourcing day care. In the vid the children are boxed up and sent to India to save money on babysitting.

er.. “news report”

Sorry pal, I got no change.

This guy has some thoughts on change.

teehee I love The Onion.

The Onion is great. So is the great TBogg, and if you missed this one you owe yourself a laugh. The united colors of Bubbadom damn near killed me — I sprained my giggler.

At first I didn’t “get it.”

Good grief, I’m so clueless in the morning. (shuffles off for more coffee…)

Don’t feel bad — I can’t think before my tea either!

An Open Letter to Barack Obama on the Subject of Faith

http://willyloman.wordpress.co.....-of-faith/

I generally empty my pockets out at the end of the day, and put all my change in an antique Sake cup on my dresser.

My point is that it’s a little early in the day yet to have any change. If you know what I mean. Right?

The Onion is the pride of Madison, Wisconsin….

what good is truth if it isn’t funny?

hizzhoner

yeah don’t feel bad, I thought Russert had resurfaced to make the claim Obama was soliciting contributions from Farrakhan *g*

That was so well done! Very witty!

that’s an eloquent letter there willy …

That’s dangerous,BT, putting a link to The Onion in your first sentance. I only strayed through the Bret Favre article. It could have been much worse.

You have written a most excellent letter to Obama. I had not realized that Conyers was not persuing ‘impeachment’ in deference to Obama’s run for the Presidency. Thank you for that insight, and your suggestion to Obama that he release Conyers from that notion. This deserves wider circulation.

Obama/Dean
“Change to Spare”

My face hurts from laughing at this.

I wish I could say that, but I’m not laughing! I have to turn on MSNBC when I first turn the TV on in the morning because its one of the few channels that works until the TV is warmed up. What I saw was them giving a bunch of bigots a platform while they still went in pursuit of whether the American people took Barack Obama’s speech in the spirit in which it was meant. Why don’t they, instead, play the part of the speech where Barack says:

For we have a choice in this country. We can accept a politics that breeds division, and conflict, and cynicism. We can tackle race only as spectacle - as we did in the OJ trial - or in the wake of tragedy, as we did in the aftermath of Katrina - or as fodder for the nightly news. We can play Reverend Wright’s sermons on every channel, every day and talk about them from now until the election, and make the only question in this campaign whether or not the American people think that I somehow believe or sympathize with his most offensive words. We can pounce on some gaffe by a Hillary supporter as evidence that she’s playing the race card, or we can speculate on whether white men will all flock to John McCain in the general election regardless of his policies.

We can do that.

But if we do, I can tell you that in the next election, we’ll be talking about some other distraction. And then another one. And then another one. And nothing will change.

That would be so much more productive!

That was to have been addressed to willyloman @ 14.

I need coffee before I can make coffee…

Ann @ 23. Good point!

So here is our choice: nominate Obama, and suffer through eight years of rampant bigotry, or nominate Hillary and suffer through eight years of rampant sexism and Clinton-hatred.

What if we all just turned off our TVs?

What if we all just turned off our TVs?

Unfortunately, that wouldn’t change anything. All the crap would still be there, we’d just all be burying our heads in the sand. We’d just be out of the loop.

Point taken. My take is focused elsewhere. If people are not moved by Obama’s speech and think it’s BS then here is my observation:

If it’s all BS, then can we please have four years of well written and delivered BS?

If it’s all BS, then can we please have four years of well written and delivered BS?

Works for me. I find myself having fantasies of what an Obama SOTU speech would be like…

Has anyone found a video of Obama’s speech yesterday on Iraq? I thought I had found one, but it turned out to be an old one. C&L doesn’t have it yet.

BS ? . . . did ya know they have a network ?

ONN

the intro graphic is priceless

lol!

read this last night, funny stuff

Well, in the worst case, we may have to endure further perversion of our government, further loss of constitutional rights, further decline in our standard of living, further separation of our society into haves and have-nots, further decline in our world standing, bankruptcy, and depression before a majority of voters wise up and vote for their own interests. Lincoln apparently never conceived that a great number of the people can suffer from attention deficit disorder for a long time.

Also, I have been trying to find a video I “fell into” a few days ago linked from a post about some reich-wing fundie conference that featured a choir singing about how God wasn’t going to bless America (except it was uglier than that). I’d like to send it to a couple of people who keep bringing up Jeremiah Wright’s “God Damn America” statement. It sure doesn’t sound much different to me.

Unfortunately, I followed a bunch of links to get there and have no idea now where it was. Google has not been my friend this morning.

Elect Obama…and more and better Democrats…and restore the integrity of ownership of media….enough of the corporate few with their spew.

Prairie Today: Banality of Discrimination

“He added, “What he really needs is a job.”

We’re working on it…looks like he’s available to start in January.

Thank you Jkat

Pray for $4.50 gasoline. The numbers on the pump are the only thing the unwashed look at besides their teevee.

Me, too!

True dat.

OT: They buried the lede on this HRC story: “She pushed NAFTA on multiple occasions, including one in November 1993 at a closed meeting with 120 expected participants. As a presidential candidate, she blames the pact for costing jobs and promises to renegotiate it”.

I bet the Democratic hard blue collar workers in PA. would like to know this. Do OHIO voters know they were duped?

Repug debate 2007
Why should god bless america
Machel Maddows’ Campaign Asylum

Exquisitely well-done.

I do like your writing, very much indeed!

You may be right. It appears it won’t take a whole lot of praying. MSM are just starting to report the related rises in the cost of everything.

I think this is O’s Iraq speech (red tie).

heads up -
looks like both CNN and MSNBC will carry Senator Obama’s speech in West Virginia momentarily

Ah, yes, that was it! Thanks!! It’s bookmarked.

(also thanks to CBL2 for link to same)

OT but MSNBC has hired Sara Taylor, Karl Rove’s go to gal in the U.S. attorney scandal, as commentator. Another self-inflicted wound to a traditional media that is not only corrupt and complicit but fortunately becoming irrelavent as well.

I think this is O’s Iraq speech (red tie).

That’s an excerpt,but the full speech (I think) is here:

Obama March 19 Iraq

heads up -
looks like both CNN and MSNBC will carry Senator Obama’s speech in West Virginia momentarily

Oh oh will clinton2 “tear up”? It is coming up to another vote she may well cry.

This black guy who wants change, is the same song blacks sang while
Michael Jordon was playing hoops. “I want to be like Mike!”
This black guy who wants change should say, “I want to be like Obama”.

They may carry the speech but they will then have their right wing shills, I mean “pundits”, tell the American people what they should be thinking. CNN, FOX, MSNBC, is the difference so great?

Calm waters on the Lake today.

CNN, FOX, MSNBC, is the difference so great?

I believe they all read from the same WH press releases and call it fair and balanced news.

breakng OT good news ht/ daily kos diarist whose link i’ve lost

My contribution from the Onion…

Written on January 17, 2001. It’s prescient. http://www.theonion.com/content/node/28784

crikey - just saw the Raw Story link above - lol

So now he’s doomed to a life of $50,000 speeches and ‘think tanks’.

A nice side benefit of all the stealing they do is that there’s always plenty of loose cash around to buy silence and provide wingnut welfare.

God always blesses the more powerful force more than the less powerful force (well, David & Goliath excepted).

This is the full speech that Barack gave on Iraq … Link

Scooter Libby disbarred DC appeal court rules.
moral turpitude.

All I can say to that is, “Well, d’uh!”

This makes him eligible to work at Fox Nooz.

Thank you DWBartoo. I hope someone puts it on Digg or Redit or something. I think it is a sound stratigy and a just course of action for him to take. Thank you again.

I know you meant this as a joke but the real wingnuts, even weirder than St0rmfr0nters are here and they’d take that as the gospel.

There are many crazy fuckers out there and between them and the MSM, I despair we’re going to have John “I can’t control my temper, so I’ll PUSH THE BUTTON” McCain as Prezzie.

It’s very scary. If McCain is elected, the 1930s will look like fucking springtime in Paris.

Barack smacking BushCo, McCain for their foolish war in Iraq …

Good Heavens, Barack is hanging all the problems of America around the necks of Bush & McCain … well done !

What’s the Great Orange Satan?
