Arnold does have people who explain things to him right? Things like if the Dollar has gone down against the Euro around 30% then things that government buys with tax dollars are more expensive like gas for police cars and wheat and rice for prisoners.
So if the dollar drops and expenses are the same you have to tax more just to stay where you are at.
In other words its Bush’s fault?

I wish I could be at that gathering. I think the good Guv is gonna have a hell of a reception. Sic ‘em

Wind 5-10. Bring a kite.

hey kirk.. ah-nold really enjoys rubbing it in our faces, doesn’t he (spitting)

Nonplussed sez yes to Yachts or Brother, can you spare $1.4MM?

Yep – nothing like abrogating California’s commitment to disabled public safety employees to show what sort of “hero” the vulva groper really is.

btw, I would appreciate a little gas money, 60, 70K should do (for now!). Incidentally, the boat at my link above, the Sans Souci was the Prince of Monaco’s Yacht.

Nice post, Kirk. I really detest Ahnuld and am ashamed that he is our governor. I believe that he is neither a Dem or a Repug – just out for stardom. At the time he wanted to run it looked promising to be a Repug so he went with that – wonder how that’s working for him now?

Nonplussed, don’t you love the Yacht Party?

Actually wind is free-for now. Eventually Nestle or ADM or somebody of their ilk will figure out a method of metering it and then kite flying shall become a sport of the landed gentry.

Twain, I hope it torments him every waking and sleeping moment.

In the most medically appropriate, non-violent, and PC way, natch.

Cut services to the poor and needy is the first thing Arnold always does how does Maria his wife as a Catholic justify staying married to this greed worshiping Pharisee?
Can she honestly look her priest in the eye and say her husband and his pals with all their wealth shouldn’t give more? Can she honestly say that she thinks her husband will meet her in heaven? 40″The King will reply, ‘I tell you the truth, whatever you did for one of the least of these brothers of mine, you did for me.’

41″Then he will say to those on his left, ‘Depart from me, you who are cursed, into the eternal fire prepared for the devil and his angels. 42For I was hungry and you gave me nothing to eat, I was thirsty and you gave me nothing to drink, 43I was a stranger and you did not invite me in, I needed clothes and you did not clothe me, I was sick and in prison and you did not look after me.’

44″They also will answer, ‘Lord, when did we see you hungry or thirsty or a stranger or needing clothes or sick or in prison, and did not help you?’

45″He will reply, ‘I tell you the truth, whatever you did not do for one of the least of these, you did not do for me.’

46″Then they will go away to eternal punishment, but the righteous to eternal life.”

Time to get Biblical as Samuel Jackson might say!

23% of the American income goes to the top 1%.

(still wrapping my mind around that one.)

Go privitization and deregulation.

“Embarrassment of riches?” We wish.

Ahnuld commutes every day from LA to Sacramento in his private jet. If that doesn’t frost your hide nothing will. It’s good to be rich!

Sadly, the closest I could come to a yacht was a destroyer. But a boy can dream, can’t he? I did learn that it was possible to pretend while crewing on the boats down at the Ala Wai when I was a Hawaii resident. Poor guy yachting, OPs.

dugg ya kirk

Is Arnold Governing as the the Lord would wish this is a Christian Nation after all LOL!
Although I’m sure Christ would weep to see Arnold and Bush defile his name.

Is anyone else using the OPera Browser? Digg keeps crashing me.

Ahnuld really seems resistant to this tax on the toy boats of the wealthy, or to reimpose the car registration tax. Hell, they just hit State College students with a $500/year increase in tuition and the guy isn’t able to compel a single Republican to break ranks so the State can raise revenue? That’s some powerful REEE-PUBLICAN we have here!

OT McCain and Bush argue that Obama is an “appeaser” because he believes that we should negotiate with enemies and bring conflicting parties together. They keep shouting HITLER, HITLER, HITLER…

I guess that means that FDR was an appeaser?

FDR’s Telegram to Hitler calling for negotiations on Czechoslovakia

FDR’s Telegram to Hitler calling for him to negotiate with Poland

FDR also was negotiating with the Japanese on the eve of Pearl Harbor.

It wasn’t the “just parties” who refused to negotiate or walked out…it was the fascists and tyrants who used a policy of “pre-emptive strike” justifications and lied about the causes of the war.

Remember the NIE says that Iran isn’t doing anything that suggests they are seeking a nuclear weapon, and haven’t been for over 5 years. And also recall that the Bushies deceived and misled the public about IRAQ having projects to build WMD’s, and were close to obtaining them…and also harboured Al Qaida. All bulldada, of course.

firefox here – sorry

Here’s the gropenator hypocrite smoking a doobie. Ahnoldt was for doobies before he was against them.

http://arnielovesmarijuana.ytmnd.com/

hi kirk, hey have a great ’picnic’!!!!!!! rofl. how stupid are those people??????? hope all of his adoring fans show up.

and on american masters on pbs this week, they said fdr went on the rothschild’s new yacht while there were bread lines……anybody watch that show? i had to keep reminding myself i wasn’t watching someone else’s life story……hard to believe the first two hours that were shown turn into the man of the second two hours next week…….dunno.

thanks for the ’heads up’ suz-hard to tell what’s goin’ on upstairs when you’re in the basement……..gone are the days of ’recent posts’………..

eureka, left you a last comment at 134 in ’corruption’ thread.

kirk–here ya go!!!! two songs, sing all the way to the bay! (hope i picked a good version)
cracker-get off this
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WbbYp7dcYFo

and my favorite pete townshend song-and pete is my fave-picked an early one, was closer to the time when he wrote it. but on dial-up so had to guess.

best protest song ever
let’s see action (let’s see who cares)
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=b3z8a8VGOwc

go get em’

nite all

Now in darkness, world stops turning
As the war machine keeps burning
No more war pigs of the power
Hand of God has sturck the hour
Day of judgement, God is calling
On their knees, the war pigs crawling
Begging mercy for their sins
Satan, laughing, spreads his wings
All right now!

http://www.lyricsfreak.com/b/b…..19418.html

The Prophet, the OZ has spoken God has Struck the Hour the day of judgement is here for the War Pigs! Arnold is going down if not in this world then the Next!

Obviously a Karl Rove inspired plot. That heinous dogbreath will go to any lengths to disrupt us!

Yep. His carbon footprint is the size of France.

And thanks for the digg, suz! I hope word spreads about the gathering tomorrow outside the St Francis yYacht Club. The more diggs, the farther word will spread. Thanks!

If you use the RSVP link in the story and try to access the ad there, you get a 404 message.

Hmmmm………..

the rsvp link worked fine for me starbuck

thanks, Starbuck – i’ll check out the linkies…

Twin screws, 35 knots and no smoke! what more can ya ask for. Tin cans for evah!

I’m not sure what will get me in trouble these days my political views or my religious ones:) Heavy Metal, Vodoo, Catholic, Paganism!

Starbuck, you’re right. The indybay link opens, but i tbhink i used a dynamic link to the ad for my indybay post….

My bad.

Thanks for leting me know.

If anyone can comment on the indybay story and post a working linky for the ad, I’d be grateful…

How is Arnold polling down there and when is he up for reelection?

It amazes me that Fartzeneger could be so callous considering he immigrated here and was able to create for himself the American dream, and rather than honor that by giving a hand up to the less fortunate, he clamps down on them like he was born owning the State of Cali. This is a very tacky thing to say, and I’m sorry, but how can Maria sleep with this man every night???
She’s a KENNEDY, for cryin’ out loud!
And I bet Pelosi’s not too happy with him either.

DONE!

The McCard ended up in Tampa. Tied up behind the Naval Reserve Center by the Banana Docks near Ybor City.

Pelosi just buses the tables.

the video ad that is up top of your post kirk?

That’s very funny.

Rather than cut programs how about expanding revenue? Lots of places for solar and windpower in California you could sell the excess power to other states!

http://www.metaefficient.com/c…..power.html

Denmark and Israel are planing to go electric with their cars. Imagine all that gas money pouring into California’s economy.

omg
That’s hysterical!
*gigggggggggle!*

Well, I guess if Arnold had decided that taxes on yachts was a good thing then he would not have been invited. He was just planning ahead. *g*

Things, IIRC the CA govs can only serve two consecutive terms (but not sure how Ahhnuld’s election after Davis was impeached may affect that).

If I’m not istaken, he is making noises abnout challening Boxer for Senate.

If he does, I hope the female waitstaff he serially sexual assualted in Venice, CA (in the steroid enclave near Gold’s Gym) get a LOT of media time.

He grabbed vulva after vulva – all with his entoruage hanging around laughing and threatening anyone who objected. He is a true psychopath – and hence a posterchild for the GOP.

I read the book The Last Stand of Tin-Can Sailors a while back. Gutsy bunch of men. Arnold wouldn’t be fit to swab their decks.

thanks, siri!

and suz, i’m talking about the page linked to in my “RSVP post” at the end – that’s the one where I think I goofed and used a dynamic link…

Arnold said once he was to rich to be bought by the special interests.

25Indeed, it is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle than for a rich man to enter the kingdom of God.”

http://www.biblegateway.com/qu…..version=31

See what happens when people don’t read the Bible they elect Camels!

How much do you think the GOP would freak if all the Democrats started carrying signs with Bible verses at protests? Bwahaahaha!

omg my earlier pete link just loaded……..NOT what i was goin’ for…….but pete looked cute.
i was goin’ for the ’who came first’ version…….if this isn’t a good one, sorry, last try. i need highspeed.

ok, maybe this is more what i wanted–one of the best protest/get up and care songs ever. it lit me up at the ripe age of junior in high school and has remained my favorite pete song all these years later……

let’s see action. pete.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v…..re=related

and i’m not in bed yet cuz i was looking for robert allen’s yacht picture (microsoft) it’s a doozy…..was taken in the bahamas.

Try ridin’ out a typhoon in one of those ships. Ya never know when she’s gonna decide she wants to be a submarine. Green water over the bridge. It’s an experience.

So we embarrass his wife I like it. But we need to make public evidence of something recent to knock Maria back to reality old evidence can be compartmentalized away.
But she can’t ignore recent and with cellphone cams its getting impossible to hide.
That and given his pattern there is someone else, there always will be.

You can see in my Faceboook picture volume “Ships” the berthing conditions for enlisted men. That was aboard the newest and best ship I was aboard. Those ships were built with what they had to have to perform their mission and the sailors were crasmmed in as an afterthought. The men were actually allowed less cubic foot per man than a Federal Prisoner! Re-enlistment incentive, that! I’ve often wondered if being a sailor prepared one for life as confinee?

Somehow I doubt it, but it sure would be a lot harder to be on Unauthorized Absence, which is what Sailors do when they fail to show up when they should (AWOL), not to be confused with MIssing Movement(The ship leaves w/o you), which is considered a terrible, terrible transgression. Keel-hauling anyone?

Uh – things – I’ve said nothing here about embarssing Maria Shriver, and I would be very opposed to any plan with that intent.

The “news” about his serial sexual assaults (groping – a form of sexual battery) was quite well known in Santa Monic and West LA, in any event (for people who had waitresses and waiters in their social circle).

My reason for wanting to get these facts out is toask the votersif they wnated a serial sexual batterer to be their Senator -and their sisters’ or daughters’ or moms’ Senator.

I’d rather leave Maria Shriver completely out of the picture.

Evening Kirk sounds like a very delightful party:>) Just wish I had the time to motor my Yacht up to The St Francis and join the festivities! It would be pleasantest jaunt up from Redwood city in this balmy weather we are having and the scenery is divine on the way. /S

love that comment, ES!

I’ve got a flat bottom and some cane poles..)

Hi Nahant – wish you could motor up to join us…

Wow Doc, you didn’t write an essay tonight! Excellent! LOL

Well, I suppose, the irony, hypocrisy, and outright elitism doesn’t stop with the Ahnold. George Bush gave up golf to sacrifice for the troops all the while his Regime golfs every weekend. See? Assholes!

You mean, “Thou Shalt Not Kill like the Bush Regime Does” or “Thou Shalt Not Use False Witnesses like the Bush Regime Does”? Love it!

Okay, going to bed. I just wanted to check in before doing so. Nite nite everyone! ;-)

KayInMaine, I’m slowly learning – I’m glad the Powers of the Lake have been so patient with my inner academic, but briefer is definitely better.

I’m just slow on the uptake :)

Glad you like it!

{and I’m learning to like not spending the whole day writing my post…}

G’nite, Kay – sleep well!

This will take you to an Ebay page. Arnold won’t be eating like this tonight.

‘31 San Francisco Unemployed Soup Kitchen Photo

Someone on Ahnold’s staff must know something about SF, though. At least they didn’t schedule the Yacht Party for the last Friday of the month. There’s nothing like adding a couple hundred “Critical Mass” cyclists to really make a splash when it comes to a protest.

Just ask Willie Brown.

Heh.

That would have been so sweet….

And AZ Matt, love that pic!

fork, i am gonna hope for a rescheduled event on the last friday of the month. pretty please with sugar and a cherry on top even!

Night Kay… Enjoy the the weather back there…. I spoke to my niece today and she is ready to come on over to the left coast just to get warm:)

Well, we certainly got that in spades today – it’s 85 right now in my house. :)

Suz was you baking over there in the house by the creek??

Curious George publisher may sue over T-shirt
Cobb bar selling shirts combining book character’s picture, Obama’s name

I just loves me some schadenfreude.

106 and no a/c nahant

anybody seen wobbly?

holy shite, suz :(

I know I have been shampooing our living room since early… the good thing is it will dry FAST:>) made it 99.5 here today in Deadwood city! Was 85 in the house while was 85 all day:>(

Its hard to press charges like this in the court of public opinion as long as his wife stays by him and denies everything or says its all in the past.
But if his wife leaves him for that reason well I think she would be better off less humiliated in the long run and the MSM won’t be able to ignore that.
Otherwise without something more recent well those old charges didn’t stop him from getting elected last time.
It was me who made the jump to embarrassing Maria not you its my advice that the only way to make those charges stick is by aiming at her not Arnold because well Arnold has no shame and probably enjoys the attention.
The only way to hurt him with those charges is to cost him personally something he wants like his political career.
But its your state your call. I still like the idea of bible based protest signs especially lines about helping the poor at a Yacht Club protest!

she was on an earlier thread today

Arnold will probably eat a little better than this.

1925 Woman Hands Bread to Children Poverty

We haven’t come far enough in country or world.

I like it!

I’m sure Arnold’s Austrian Nazi father is proudly looking up from Hell…

kitty ok?

yeap

good to know

kudos to wobbly and all the other pups for jumpin in…

speakin of jumpin in, whatcha got fer me tonite, suz?

;~P

And dahhling — along with the swimsuit and picnic hamper and sunscreen and windbreaker — don’t forget to bring your finest protest signs. All the best protest people will be there.

If you’ve never seen or been part of an SF protest, they are truly a sight to behold.

In fact, first time protesters could have a lot of fun, hanging out with “all the best protest people” in SF. We’re talking major leagues here. Think of it as getting basketball tips from Michael Jordan — “When the police move this way, you move that way, and you’re past them before they know it.”

sorry. nothing.

OT from he HuffPost

Just off the House floor today, the Crypt overheard House Judiciary Committee Chairman John Conyers tell two other people: “We’re closing in on Rove. Someone’s got to kick his ass.”

Asked a few minutes later for a more official explanation, Conyers told us that Rove has a week to appear before his committee. If he doesn’t, said Conyers, “We’ll do what any self-respecting committee would do. We’d hold him in contempt. Either that or go and have him arrested.”

Conyers said the committee wants Rove to testify about his role in the imprisonment of former Alabama Gov. Don Siegelman, among other things.

“We want him for so many things, it’s hard to keep track,” Conyers said.

I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again: no good ever came of voting for an Austrian carpetbagger.

Dang now I wish I wasn’t in Seattle or that gas was a lot cheaper.

peterr, i wish you could be here Friday night.

BTW, I’m trying to get the word to public service union organizers – if anyone can pass it along (or send me contact email at kirkmurphy @ gmail com) I’d be most grateful

Dang, Suz. Cool showers, girl.

Kirk, after a post like this, you owe it to FDL to get some photos of the event. Maybe talk to Jane about getting an FDL Press Credential ™ to make it official, should someone question your presence and your picture-taking.

Because you know that the photos are going to be fabulous . . .

Aloha, Doc! Your post continues to serve as a reinforcement of the old adage that California is the ‘Land of the Fruits, Nuts, and Flakes’…! ;-)

I wonder, testify under oath?

Peterr, I love that idea. I’ll study up on taking pics with my cell phine (my inner Luddite is a bit recalcitrant there…)

Can we set up an emergency fund to help these poor yacht owners pay their slip fees? In this time of tight credit and job insecurity this recurring cost can be a real hardship.

After the same-sex marriage ruling news, I wish that I could be there tonight!

CT, we’re all for healthy eating here…. ;)

Brilliant!

ain’t it grand?

Tonight I’m proud of the Golden State….

Maybe bring along a less-Luddish friend with a good camera. Somehow, I don’t think a cell phone photo will do the protests justice.

Bwa-ha-ha!

Where should we put the account?

Cayman Island?

Jersey?

Great idea! Let’s use IOUs.

I’m hoping course swearing on the Bible would probably scorch his hand so I can see why he wanted to respond in writing to questions rather than testify under oath.

I’ve been off the net most of the day is there an article on the St Supreme Ct. ruling?

Eli’s upstairs…
Late Nite: The Pottery Barn Rule, Legislative Edition

Yep: Happiest Day Of Our Lives

And… Glenn was perfect today.

Folks, thanks for joining me on the Lake tonight.

Before you go to bed, please pass word of Friday evening’s protests to all the activists (esp labor activists) you know in the Bay Area.

Thanks!

(and now off to see what Eli brought back to the Lake from the Pottery Barn…)

Maybe they could arrange a “tie-vote” that would require him to come to Congress to break….then the Sergeant of Arms swoops in and off he goes to the Conyers Committee.
