I can just hear the Straight Talk Express chugging away. Close your eyes and you can hear it, too –
Onaninsm, onanism, onanism, onanism….

Mad Dog says, “Love my Willard Romney”
Mad Dog says, “Really rings a bell. (Bing!)
Mad Dog says, “Love my Willard Romney
Don’t know any other Vee Pee that I love so well.”
(Onaninsm, onanism, onanism, onamism)

Can’t seem to get into read Pach’s new diary.

Hey, TCU.

Where do you see that?

Romney the Bain Capital hedgefund guy as VP when the U.S financial system is so weak thanks in part to the hedgefunds that the Fed is banning short selling on 19? firms (isn’t the law for everybody)?
Also the Government wants to go after people who knowingly trash good stocks. How will they do this I don’t know but it does seem like a blanket no more bad news will be reported threat to the MSM.
The point well these measures smell of Desperation. These measures will protect Romney and his hedgefund while banks fail, Freddie and Fannie get tax payer funded bailouts as tax payers lose their homes.
Having a Hedgefund person as VP in the likely future business climate is like making a future playdate to roll around in cow pies, the voters won’t like anyone who smells of WallStreet.

go to profile in the toolbox section and then bottom corner more diaries?

They got some good stuff there

Sorry its read more

go to profile in the toolbox section and then bottom corner more diaries? read more

I’m worried about Huckabee as VP he is the only GOPer who can laugh at himself, that and Ron Paul should give McCain a huge boost if the economy takes another hit.
Of course Phil Gramm would Disavow McCain on economic matters if McCain did that.
But who would be worse for the economy Bush/McCain/Gramm or Ron Paul?

John McCain will pick Mitt Romney for VP

He really does hate America doesn’t he.

More personal information WTF?

Rudy is my pick as VP the man is comedy gold. Sen Biden was wrong about Rudy saying a noun a verb and 9/11 in every sentence. Rudy always says his own name or at least ” I ” in every sentence.
I wonder if he screams his own name and 9/11 during sex!
Arrgh Brain Bleach! I must stop embracing the dark side of comedy…somethings are better never thought of.

Ignore that just read the diaries

Ok lets assume that Mitt is the GOP VP choice given all the financial turmoil will we get to see Bain Capital’s books because Mitt needs to openly disclose his assets?
WallStreet and myself would love to see real numbers from a hedgefund assuming they were accurate.
Also didn’t Bain have to threaten to sue the banks backing Bain’s buying of ClearChannel home of Rush Limbaugh?

Romney belongs to the same nut religious (redundant?) sect as Orin Hatch and Harry Reid as well as some of the crazies in bushco so maybe we can have all religion all the time…. it will be fairy tales and fantasies for four years… not so good.

Did anyone get to read the piece in the NYT Mag. about Leah Daugherty and the Dem. convention.

The Dems have now lost me entirely.

Good morning, pups. If it’s Monday it’s [ack] Kristol and Cohen. Krugman is off today. Wrong Way Billy typed a thing called “No Substitute for Victory,” and says that in Berlin, Barack Obama will surely pledge our commitment to victory in the struggle for freedom. Mr. Cohen’s column is titled “Sobriety, Herr Obama,” and he says the Obamania in Europe needs to be kept in check. There’s too much work to be done.

The coffee and tea are ready, and the biscuits are out of the oven. And, what a surprise, the NYT has another puff piece on McCain today. Their blurb says “Once better known for criticizing the Senate than for influencing it, John McCain has evolved into perhaps the chamber’s most influential member.” If your blood pressure can take it, the article is here. Have a great day.

I don’t know what to think about this choice, mitt is clearly “presidential” in appearance, far more so then mccain

what about that base too, how are they going to feel about a vp who thinks the devil is christs brother?

man, I hope obama or his surrogates is not above bringing that up.

maybe mitt on the ticket inoculates obama from the “muslim” attacks

just woke up, can’t compose my thoughts just yet and have to go to the coffee shop to grab my go juice, see all later

John McCain has evolved into perhaps the chamber’s most influential member

Was the article sponsored by budweiser?

here’s a youtube the mormons don’t like too much

Good morning everyone. Did you get the feeling this weekend with Barack Obama in the Middle East that the right wingers of America were collapsing all over the place like overweight wealthy British ladies? I’m sure there’s a trail of damp lacy handkerchiefs around the country this morning. ;-)

there’s a quote from one of mccain’s aids, I don’t have the link, when he found out obama’s plan was endorsed in by Iraq said;

“we’re screwed”

anyway, they’re no more screwed then before that happened, their only shot is the anit black vote, that doesn’t change no matter what happens politically

We wished they had said, “we’re screwed”, but if my memory serves me correct, “we’re fucked” was the actual terminology. A much worse reaction for sure. Bah hahahahahahahaha! It’s Meltdown Monday!

Eternal celestial sex does not seem all that bad but a little tiring. Do Morons allow V**gra?

could someone explain to me “onanism”

thanx

Nice. Mormon Jeebus as polygamist. Joseph Smith commanded to organize the Mormon Church because all Christian creeds are an abomination. Thanks, Perris.

Onanism. You’ll get hair on your palms…

onanism = masturbation

So named after biblical Onan.

love the diaries page.

couple of suggestions for the techies:

1. rss feed is not working.
2. with so many diaries, a rss feed for comments (per diary or combo) would be great.
3. a link to the diaries page from fdl would be most excellent.

thanks! very impressive.

For those of you who have been drunk the last week and stumbled here while looking for porn, Barack Obama is overseas.

LMAO.

Thanks Attaturk.

Poor Mitty, he can’t stand those liberals who take the fun out of war…

A Mitty VP will be fun.

Is it just me or is the “new comments” notification not working for others here too this morning? It does seem to be working over on the oxdown diary server.

It hasn’t been working for awhile now. FDL is working on it, though. If I’m not mistaken, this feature has been disabled as the techies work on other stuff. ;-)

thanx for that reply, I actually think my name originages from that biblical passage but I don’t know exactly where

at any rate, I have had discussion with rabi’s in disagreement over their assertation that masturbation is a sin and using the tale of onin as their basis;

However, other early writers focused on the spilling seed, and the sexual act being used for non-procreational purposes; one opinion expressed in the Talmud argues that the death penalty was only imposed because of it.[11] This interpretation was held by several early Christian apologists, Jerome for example arguing:

I point out that the “spilling of the seed” was NOT the thing that angered g-d, it was the breach of contract, where onan deliberately decieved his brothers wife, had her think she was going to have a child by being physically intimate with her dead husband’s brother, and onan committed the incredibly selfish crime of making certain that wouldn’t be happening

it wasn’t the spilling of the seed it was in fact the breach of contract and what pretty much amounts to rape oof his dead brothers wife

so the talmud clearly gets this wrong

Like I tried to tell Peggers Noonan.

Reagan Lives !

He’s right here.

I got the hair.

I got the jaw.

And I look devastating on a horsie !!!

Thanks KayInMaine. Obviously I’ve been away too long. It would be nice to have a page where one could go to see the status of such things.

Breaking: Imus tells Jeff Greenfield this morning he’s moved from McCain to “undecided”

“Don’t knock my hobbies.”

Woody Allen

imus went for kerry so this is no surprise

At this point, Imus needs to save himself from himself, so he had better go for the black Democratic candidate! Just kidding. ;-)

Nice exegesis, thank you.

Isn’t Barack elitist?

Selise, Are you going to reprint your FISA timeline in the diaries when they go up today? It will give the pups that did not see it an opportunity to read it and for those that did, a refresher.

Barack is definitely an elitist. He owns one house just like most Americans do.

But, but, but osama is B.L.A.C.K.

How many homes would Romney and McCain have between them. Reporters and journalists should laugh loudly when the repubs call Obama an elitist.

yeah, but how many homes to the “reporters” have?

Thanks for Oxdown! Visit me there…

I’m assuming between McTeleprompter & Mitty, they have enough houses to fill a gated community near a golf course. They’re worth close to $200 million between them too, so that means they’re average Americans trying to get by. The horrors they have to live like us!

Okay, going to work. Have a great day everyone! ;-)

Scarecrow’s up!

that’s an idea.

…. but maybe instead of that, i could do a follow on (with links to the orginals?). i wasn’t able to access fdl when marcy wrote her follow on fisa post, and i do have some thoughts on what we could learn from the past year’s fisa campaign – about what we might want to do differently, knowing what we now know about our congress critters.

Perris, that is very good. i’m remembering that for future discussions!!

Not only breach of contract, but the union was to produce a child who would continue his brother’s line and be his heir.

he’s not a ho though so it’s cool

and these are the sins, not at all “spilling the seed”, the entire passage is INTENDED to make this point yet the talmud misses the obvious in order to control our god given sexuality

let me make a great point here;

if we believe in god, then we MUST realize god gave us sexuality at puberty, that is GOD’S WILL, it is not “a choice”, if we indeed believe in god, our drive to reproduce is actually a commandment from god himself, (go forth and multiply)

anyone or any text that tries to tell us our sexuality is sinful is in fact in direct contradiction of the design of the all mighty him self

just as we have not developed to need to nourish ourselves when in our mothers womb, it becomes a life necessity when we leave that womb

and so the same thing for our sexuality, we have not reached the stage of development till adolescence but once we do there is nothing we can do about it, the drive to procreate is even more powerful then the drive to self preserve

the Jewish religion even recognizes this stage of development to be around the age of 13, (today I am a man)

THAT IS A CLEAR INDICATION OF OUR EMERGENCE AS SEXUAL PERSONA

there is really no other way to look at it if we do indeed believe in god

even if we don’t believe in god, then the drive we have acquired was reached through evolution itself, evolution made us what we are and denying it is denying life itself

all we can do is teach our children to be responsibly, teach them what they are doing and why they want to do it, and hope they can resist as long as possible, but they won’t be able to resist for too long, that is not possible, if they are not having sex consciously then they are having it nocturnally and that is NOT healthy, it is your subconscious giving you what you must have since you won’t do it for yourself

let’s not forget, generations ago, women were married in their early to mid teans, of course it’s easy enough to resist the drive to procreate when you are that young, but we don’t even allow our children to marry at that age anymore, it is therefore impossible to think they can avoid sex until they are married

whew, more then I wanted to write this late in the thread, there’s a new one up already

Hmmmm. Having serious trouble deciding which to care less about, ancient judeochristian proclamations about masturbation or who McLame chooses for VeePee.
