Only 96 GOP House members wrote The New York Times’ Op-Ed Page Editor to protest his decision to reject John McCain’s exhortation to victory in Iraq.
In their WATB letter, they recollect The Most Unpatriotic, Insulting Hate-the-Troops Advertisement Of All Time:
… we would strongly urge you to permit a third party the purchase of ad space in your newspaper… perhaps at the same reduced rated enjoyed by the liberal 501(c)(3) group MoveOn.org when it ran its disgraceful ad regarding General David Petraeus last September.
Because NYT’s Op-Ed Page Editor decides what ads run?

Maybe McCain should have purchased ad space. For his ad.
teddy!
I wonder if this means McCain will pick BetrayUs as his running mate?
Their movement and their party are disintegrating around them and all their hopes for world domination are swirling down the drain. After almost thirty years of arrogant bullying, they don’t know what to do and are reduced to pathetic whimpering. Makes. My. Day.
I think they’re trying to buy space in general…as in breathing room. These guys are so screwed…
I’m going to be grown up about this and say…
NEENER! NEENER! NEENER!
McC doesn’t need a military man since he has all the knowledge he needs about that /s
Test
Including geography.
I give you an A+, Loo Hoo!
Test
ok – ready. what’s the question?
fork – dayam teachers and their forking pop quizes. doncha know its summer
hey loohoo
was the op-ed rejected or was a paid ad rejected?
Those borders are tricky – they move them a lot and he can’t keep up. :)
McC doesn’t need
a military manVia*ra™ since he hasall the knowledge he needs about thata hot wife with whom he shares a deep affection /sI’m surprised the House 96 didn’t mention the awful Vicki Iseman attack on their presumptive standard bearer by the NYT. That would shame the Times into printing his Op-Ed, don’t you think?
The border of Iraq and Pakistan is Iran. He was just doing Cheney’s bidding, I imagine.
Do you know what McC said in the piece? Was it a rant against Obama?
It really must have been pretty incoherent for the NYT to turn down an oped full of GOP talking points.
the pissier the goopers get the better- that’s when ya know ya got em!
Not to mention the mask slips and the public gets to see their true face.
Do you know what McC said in the piece? Was it a rant against Obama?
Wasn’t it The Times’ position that the op-ed essentially didn’t say anything at all?
Arnold plans to pay state workers the federal minimum wage starting next week:
Another one for the “can he do that?” file; the state comptroller John Chiang says he won’t cut paychecks and doesn’t need to start borrowing to make payroll until September. So why would Arnold grandstand like this?
Shock doctrine much?
Team McCain sees it as a win-win.
Published – his spin enters the debate.
Not published – he gets to cry foul in a week where crying foul is his chief accomplishment.
They must be so proud.
I was NOT testing pups, but I still think we should have a Friday evening News Quiz! I was just testing the internets.
IIRC, MoveOn paid full price for that ad once the discount was brought to their attention.. and it was Giulinni’s who did not pay the difference shortly after raising a hypocritical stink while getting the same discount?
Isn’t that correct?
Fox has it, of course.
The GOP is just a bunch of clown toes and camel cars.
Link to the ski slope that represents Clusterfuck’s job approval rating- yes- it’s still going down- with less than six months to go!

It would be really cool to have the Iseman article and the McCane OpEd next door to each other. Photoshop by DarkBlack would work nicely in this context.
Somebody tell the NSA van to back up, their cutting off Loo Hoo’s InterToobz.
Damn expanding universe!
diaper wearing – gotta remember to include diaper wearing
707!
Now help me up, Mary.
Thanks, Teddy. It is pretty much a rant against Obama and is certainly fact-free.
And toe-tapping.
toe tapping, diaper wearing, born again assholes.
good lord – is that his JAR, or a composite corporate earnings graph from every business he ever got his C- business hands on?
Couldn’t be his JAR, could it? The fucker is still over 25%?
And idea free and substance free. Vacuous would be a compliment.
And the top of the chart is 50%!!!
America’s most beloved preznit.
Fucker’s had a great second term hasn’t he?
Shoulda gotten out while the gettin was good.
Not Betrayus, Teddy, Traitor Joe Lieberman! They make such a wonderful couple…!
Fucker loves Harry Truman who dropped nukes on Japan..OOPS
Did you guys see that Obama’s campaign bought $5 million in ads during the Olympics?
At this point, suicide by swirly would be a viable option for him.
Ah! No nukes then, just the toy atomic bombs.
Lieberweasel was out of his cage for exercise today—called Hagee- the Heifer growin catholic hating preacher “Moses”. Nice job Lieberweasel. Hagee wants Israel to rebuild the temple so that Jesus can come and send all the jews ta hell.

oh, jeez, now you’ve started it…. *g*
hi mary!
707!
Yeah, but we ain’t finished nothin’ yet!
good one, newt
I’m still hung up on the JAR graph. Just how in THE HELL can there still be anyone in this country who thinks that president shit-for-brains is doin’ a swell job?
Do 25% of American never watch any real news or read a newspaper?
Do 25% of Americans not have a mortgage, own a car, or buy gasoline or food?
Do 25% of Americans think that the Constitution sucks, and that torture is perfectly okay to be used on anyone our magical-thinking, pencil-dicked president decides is baaaad?
Who are these people, and why are they breathing my air?
That’s good. Did you make that up?
A poll came out yesterday – of course, I can’t remember which one – that had his rating at 21%. That’s more like it, I think.
It was incoherent. And almost entirely a fact-less and clue-less attack on Obama.
It was an op-ed. The editor said if he would write it again and actually explain what HIS plan for Iraq was, and oh – please define the word ‘win’ in the context of your plan.
He would have had trouble getting a D+ for the paper in freshman English Comp. High school that is.
They are the Gooper mouth breathers and scientists currently believe that they are a presentient life form, most notable for its viciousness and tenacity in defiance of all reason.

Also Shailagh Murray sometime tomorrow, who Atrios calls “The Devil” but I don’t drum up questions for her.
I guess that I’m giving my nightmares names now. Something organic.

Thanks neuro
dugg and thanks
Digg, dagg, dugged!
Ha!
Guaranteed to be as riveting and ground breaking as Jenna’s book.
So, 22 percent of House members are insanely loyal to McCain.
Isn’t that about the same percentage of Americans who are insanely loyal to boosh?
The hard core.
Ahnold’s plan would go over really well with state employees. Do you think he figures they’ll get price cuts to go with those wage cuts? (It’s probably better than a furlough or no pay at all, but Ghu, you’d think he’d know better by now.)
Likewise, dugg.
That is correct.
I see McSame is complaining about what Obama wrote in the visitors book at the Shoah. He’s claiming that Obama should have ‘done something’ about the genocide in Darfur.
Huh?
Wasn’t and isn’t that going on on Bush’s watch?
So we’ve gone from blaming everything on Clinton to blaming everyting on Obama and of course Bush is not responsible for aaaaannyyyything.
Hey, Teddy. Don’t forget that Siegleman will be here at FDL tomorrow morning at 9:00 pacific.
betcha ah-nold aint cutting his salary to min wage
sombitch.
I had not made that connection, but that sounds about right!
Still, it’s kind of sad less than half the House GOP supports McCain enough to write to the evil, liberal NYT on his behalf, isn’t it?
McCrazyOldManScreamingatClouds gets more incoherent with each passing minute.
So, 22 percent of House members are insanely loyal to McCain.
Either that, or 22% of Republican House members are *real* confident of re-election….
installed bumper sticker on car last weekend:
Get Disappointed by Someone New
I figure it sums up this election pretty well. Every time he ticks me off, I think about McSame, and decide there are much worse options than the DINOs that seem to be all that can get past the DLC and MSM.
Actually, Arnold declines his salary.
Arnold actually refused his salary as I recall.
And another
proudugly moment for a the bi-partisan branch of the Kennedy family. Maria must be scalding mad.What a creep.

They are really quite pathetic these days. It would seem that they have gone from rabid wolverines to dead dormice overnight.
makes for a nice write off on his taxes?
McCrazyOldManScreamingatClouds gets more incoherent with each passing minute.
Ya know, that might make me nervous if the Repub’s had *anyone* else that they could substitute as a candidate for the clearly goin’ down for the third time McLame…
I lurv that movie.
I hear that he gives the money back, but I haven’t seen proof of it. It isn’t like he actually needs that paycheck.
McBush seems to be having a meltdown…turned into a raving lunatic in front of the cameras and then cancelled a press conference and the main event for tomorrow– tryin ta get his drugs balanced perhaps?
And I have seen his security detail. It is multi-vehicular in the extreme.
That is almost enough to make me say something nice about a Republican, but I will resist the temptation under the circumstances.
Maybe they’re getting commemorative oil cans or something.
Well ya can’t write off stuff that you never get.
The Germans can hardly wait for Obama.
isn’t there an oil spill on the mississippi river – barge broke in half and its a huge environmental mess.. trying to remember where i read it… i think that is why he is not headed to the oil rig to parrot the talking points about no oil spill.
Is that his Indian name?
Once Arnie got separated from the Pete Wilson crowd he became a decent governor>

thanks for the non-spoiler warning
Wang Dang. I got comment #100. Remember when you used to wax me at that every time?
400,000 gallons spilled last I read.
Pounded? By whom? Not by his base (the FCM). They are even editing out his gaffes now. Niiiice.
I think that is Achuli haswochi fumbi hacho (Crazy old man with a stinking little dick).
Bumper stickers needed!
Oh come on…minimum wage would get you to the gas station…ain’t that progress? I’d be delighted to get paid the minimum…seeing that the alternative is….starfuckinvation!!! /s
Yee-Haw! Way to go Willie…!
it may get ya there but ya can’t fill up
Our one Willie is better than all their willies.
Not the MSM…
A whole bunch of different factions of his own party. Sure, some have come on board, but Gooper Senators are still scared shitless of him, and aren’t shy about saying it. And despite Grover Norquist’s sly attempt to not dis McCain, they hate his guts and would rather drive him than go with him. And Fundys aren’t happy, and pop up regularly to smack him around.
Fundys, “Fiscal Conservatives,” peers.
They got willies
Right. But you can always try to hitch a ride to work…you know, carpooling. Snort.
They give me the willies.
Hell, $4 gas has me riding my bike everywhere I can. Fortunately Missoula is a really bike friendly place (unless you live where lokywoky does).
There is something happening with the RNC McCain dealie…..They are driving the stake into McCain who they
selectedelected, even though they all hate him….I smell a rat..no offense to rats, of course.
until winter arrives
Yeah, there are two guys who pedal up this hill after work – they are taking their life in their hands on this skinny road and with all the traffic. Whew!
so what happens if the presumptive nominee has to withdraw due to health reasons prior to the convention?
I love Austin!!!
Bumper stickers needed!
Hey, I want one big one that says it all -
“McCrazyOldManScreamingatClouds/Achuli haswochi fumbi hacho (Crazy old man with a stinking little dick)”.
Vote for McCain!
of course, I *will* need to either get a bigger car or have an extra bumper installed, but I. Don’t. Care.
Luckily that is far enough back to be in my long-term memory.
Short-term, not so workie.
: )
So when Cheney said GFY … it was a call to party ? *g*
Evenin’ all !
There is that, though we have folks (including one of my colleagues, but not me) that put snow tires on their bike and go year round.
Hell, they are taking their lives in their hands just pedaling up that hill.
It doesn’t have to be that way.
Yup. McCain can’t be the nominee. Too stupid to happen.
But, it would get better coverage in NYC…! ;-)
Hey petro!
So what are our northern friends planning for the Obama-Hoser tour?
They do not want to win. They need us to fix the mess they made. Then in a few years, they’ll be back to pillage again.
I predicted right after Bush won the 2004 election that whoever the GOP nominated this time would be a sacrificial lamb so to speak. One of two scenarios:
1) There will be no election because there will be another ‘event’ like 9/11 and Bushco will suspend the elections like they threatened to do then; or
2) They’ll run some poor flack to beat up on the Dem candidate – and take all the heat from same – and then at the Convention, they’ll pick someone else to totally mess the Dem candidate up with their campaign plan.
I’m still not too sure #1 isn’t going to happen.
But if it’s number 2 – I think they got the wrong Dem and it won’t work. The Obama campaign is too quick on its feet and he has too much money.
‘hill’…? Or mountain…?
?????
why not hold it in DC?
OT Excuse me, but why are we going to give Pakistan
$230 million to upgrade their F-16s? Can someone help me with this?
GFY? Good for you?
Evening, buddy.
Depends on what happens….Jeb, Romney…name me a Dem to replace Obama that could win…..
Edwards….Clinton…Biden…Dodd…We are in dangerous waters folks.
They can pull off all kinds of shizzola between now and November….
i was thinking on the gop side…. if mcsame has to withdraw prior to being anointed at the convention?
We’re gonna kidnap him and trade him for Gore, then anoint Gore our Prime Minister for Life …
That’s what I first thought when I started to read it…! I guess not, tho…
Lokywoky lives in an area of town noted for its near vertical real estate and steep ascents.
I live in a state capital city. If our state workers suffered pay cuts like that, and we had not had a housing crisis before, we certainly would have one after the cuts went in. Some of those people are probably making 4 or 5 times minimum wage, I would guess.
Do you know if that is correct, Teddy?
Or is he only busting the little people?
Hey, Walk Score has Indianapolis rated as the fourth ‘least-walkable’ city in the country.
I think I live in the only ‘walkable’ part of the whole city – right downtown. My address gets a 94/100.

What Cheney said to Leahy … GFY !
((((( Loo Hoo )))))
I’d like to be able to understand it myself. Maybe the deal was made long ago, and they are being delivered now? Remember the aircraft the Saudis bought several months ago? Scary.
Classic!
Why didn’t we think of that?
he could certainly afford to…
Well, it’s just a little hill – compared to say, Lolo Pass, or Lookout Pass, or Homestake Pass, or ….
For people from the middle of the country, it would probably be a mountain, but here it’s just a little hill. Ha!
We give them Taxpayer’s $$$ to buy weapons from the M.I. Complex … instead of just giving the $$$ straight to the M.I. Complex … oh wait !
It’s so Pakistan won’t be at the UN screaming about how BUSH is unilaterally bombing the hell out of the western provinces. You know, the ones Obama said he would get permission first and ask the Paki’s to do it first but McSlime is screeching about how dare he propose to bomb a SOVEREIGN NATION!
Oh, that. Wish I had a chance to say that to Cheney in person…
We are only moderately walkable owing to distances from stores, but have an excellent system of bike lanes and generally courteous drivers. Even still there are areas where I will not bike owing to traffic.
What’s up with Stephane Dion saying he wants tariffs on all imports from countries not doing enough on Global Warming… So much for NAFTA, eh?
gotta be able to take your cut before handing off the contract to the next guy who takes a cut and then hands it off to the next guy who takes a cut…
I’m sorry. I totally admire what you are doing. I get annoyed when we as “individuals” do things that are responsible and accessible, yet the corporations, whose detrimental affects on the world go unregulated, take no actions whatsoever to help with either the economy or the environment, because they just don’t care….and they only care about the profits made from the “world residual”…those left…because if they don’t take action, there won’t be anyone left ultimately on our planet…but they live for money and for now, and they live in denial.
We need to stop the fascist (sorry to use the word, but it is true) tendency of the US government.
Only 400 feet gain in elevation in about a half mile.
Um .. cuz you’re not Canucks ?!! *g*
BTW, great comments @ 15 & 51 !
I thought maybe Bush was going to use them to bomb Iraq since they have a common border … oh, wait.
I’ve got two hills in my backyard, too… Using your criteria…! ;-)
Ghouliani could serve the same purpose… an “ill” contender. The key to the GOP plan is the VP. It could even be Cheney!!!
The Neocons will not go quietly…or..I could eat my words..
Oh, that. Wish I had a chance to say that to Cheney in person…
Maybe you could send him a nice greeting card. Does Hallmark make one that says GFY?
Neuro – upthread – Ah-nold doesn’t take ANY salary. Never has since he was elected.
That’s the only platform Dion seems to want to campaign on … elections coming this Fall and the environment is the number one issue in Canada.
Personally, I think it is a great idea and the Europeans might have told him they’re going to do the same …
You want fries with that?
Yes please, and I like mayo to dip them in…thanks.
Well, yeah but it’s only a mile up!
Lookout rises about 1000 feet per half mile – and it’s ten miles up one side and ten down the other!
You know the US would object strenuously and take the issue to the WTO…!
Now, where’s darkblack?
We could all send him on that says, “Dear Vice President, Good For You !” *g*
I smell Jeb.
*g*
And you ain’t getting me to bike up that either.
I think if Obama were somehow unable to complete the general election campaign,it would be Hillary in a landslide
the nomination, that is. the general might be another question.
I don’t think McCain will be the nominee, actually. I don’t think he’ll make it to St Paul. Be interesting to see if SCLM runs some “trial heats” in August of Obama against Romney. Or somebody.
good evening dear friends. hope all are OK tonight.
Here’s the article … Link … it seems that America might have the same thing in mind against
Canadian goods/Oil …
You take mayo with your fries and now you smell Jeb. Call a doctor immediately :)
Greeting-card makers are so missing the boat by ignoring the entire angry, vindictive market. Who decided that greeting cards must be pleasant?
Sometimes ya just need a good “Fuck Off and Die” card…
It’s hard to keep up with youse guys tonite, especially without my (show text) button working *sob*
One-liners about previous one-liners about previous one-liners!
is what i was thinking teddy – and is it in the GOP rules what happens if the presumptive nominee is unable to accept the nomination due to health reasons before being anointed? does the GOP committee go into a smoke filled room and come out and announced the selection after white smoke rises from the chimney?
teddy, you can still click on the name and comment # after the In response to and then use your back button to bring ya back to the comment you were reading.
Does anyone think McBush met with Poppy to ask Poppy for Jeb’s hand in candidacy…?
I saw Jebby on the Teevee…he’s out there, and he’s lurking, an he’s in the wings…and he doesn’t have a job…
McBush has set up the idea…that the Pukes will continue W’s agenda….but the McBush people would present Jeb as the “anti-W”…the “good son”…I’m tellin’ ya, Jeb is a contenda…..
Watch out. Bush41’s last wish.
A quick Friedman unit:
I do have a few candidates for that now that you mention it.
*g* Ah come on – where’s your spirit of death-defying, risk-taking, adventure? Obviously not related to the late, great EK?
McCain is so disliked in the party that whoever emerges from that “smoke-filled room” should pass muster with the party.
Yes please, and I like mayo to dip them in…
Are you from Amsterdam?
h/t Pulp Fiction.
LOL..Did the mayo make me smell Jeb? Oh my.
Hi, I’m good – how ’bout you?
I like it so long as it has time for countries to adapt. Apparently it’s not going anywhere right now, but ultimately that is the way we’ll deal with global warming.
ooohhhhhh !
you smart lady, Suzanne
hey mistress of snack – are you recovered from nrn being in your town?
Nope and I try at all costs to avoid Butte. I think the Berkeley pit has tainted all the water around there – it’s full of crazy people.
Cheney will decide, and guess who he will pick!
Sob! Me, too!
LOL…I got that from being in Norway…they serve mashed potatoes like fries at kiosks…with mayo..I’m addicted….people think I’m nuts..
desperate is more like it teddy (laughing)
and i’m old and can sorta remember the old work arounds from the haloscan days
“Does anyone think McBush met with Poppy to ask Poppy for Jeb’s hand in candidacy…?”
Maybe McBush met with Poppy Bush to ask Poppy for permission to go negative against Junior and create as much distance as possible
You know…it’s nothing personal, Poppy…it’s for the good of the party
Thanks. I didn’t know that trick.
Even the republicans are not stupid enough to run a Bush in 2008. Ya think?
Heh. Once again, his illustrious self. No term limit. Shoot me now.
Eggs-ackly. Since no one apparently reads history any more – we seem to have forgotten that Iraq threw off one colonial power (Great Britain) and they are not about to accept another one.
Unlike us – the Arabs have veeeeerrrrryyy long memories.
will they send up smoke signals like the cardinals do for the pope?
Oh Suz, I’m way too old for this…
I never hear the victory-in-Iraq spinners address the issue of the establishment of an Islamic state, as explicitly per the constitution backed by the Coalition. I doubt that claims of having successfully delivered an Islamic republic will be among Republican talking points; that would run counter to their anti-“jihadi,” neo-Crusader theme.
glad to help out pups – its kinda like when we first lost the quote this comment zig ability
we had to figure out a way to work around it. same deal here. that’s the work around i use. others may have an easier way than mine.
They let that those other two fuckers run, didn’t they?
If the Bush name is mud (at least for the moment), and I think it is, they wouldn’t throw him up there when a loss is assured. Keeping their powder dry.
Actually, McCain makes more sense in this equation.
Hallmark doesn’t, but Johnny Cash does.
bull pucky. never to old to learn christine e. just click on it and try. the worst case scenerio is that you have to scroll back down to the bottom of the post again.
McCain made sense?
*bangs head against nearest hard surface*
Yeah, what was I thinking?
Dion is on board with those states in America that want to introduce “Carbon cap ‘n’ trade” ASAP, something the Neocons up here strongly oppose.
Some of our Provinces are hooking up with those States to move this forward.
They are stupid enough..might not happen…but Jeb is the only one that can possibly save the “Bush Family legacy”, because he is more “sympathetic” than W….41 is very old…he doesn’t want to know on the day he bites it that W ruined the family contrived “myth”….because it is a myth…their family were Nazi enablers.
Karma is a biatch.
An essential requirement to be a Republican is the ability to hold an infinite number of mutually contradictory and totally false ideas at the same time.
Don’ hurt yourself now.
hmm, my show text worked a while ago but now it doesn’t
who’s parked on my toob?
McCain is the best loser they have. And they need a loser this time around.
Butte…- it’s full of crazy people.
I may need driving directions…
LOL … ((((( WDD )))))
True. But they’ve got nothing this year. Nobody. Nothing. I’ll puke if I have to look at Romney between now and November…does he strike other folks that way?
and now it works again!
Ahhhh, the days (and nights) of the zigs…….remember them well. *g*
Good evenin’, firepups; sleep issues at this end of the toobz. How’s y’all doin’?
Loves me some good karma. 8-)
Ironically, Alberta is pretty conservative and the home of the tar sands… I’m sure Dion is not banking on Albertans support…! ;-)
my wife used to live in Butte. She would not argue with you. I hear St. Patrick’s day is a real riot.
I will be very interested to see just how long that Constitution lasts once the “coalition” leaves. That thing is the most messed up piece of work for a so-called constitution I have ever seen. Even Robert Mugabe has a better one.
If al-Sistani has anything to say about it – it won’t last very long – and he does have a lot to say. Just not to us. And good for him for not talking to us.
He made me sick before now and november.
… and if they’re really convinced that they’ll get a spanking, they will
feed Jindal to the Lionsmake Jindal his running mate …yep
Wangdangdingdongdoodle…a shot down the bar to you.
Just go to Google Earth and look for the huge pit full of totally toxic water that can be seen from space and there you are.
use Ie it still works with show text widget!!
Literally.
Alberta will never vote Liberal, Dion will win with this platform across the rest of Canada
Not the good kind of crazy – the spittle-flecked, talking-to-yourself-walking, invisible-spiders-crawling-on-skin kind of crazy.
We’re talking every kind of heavy metal poisoning on the planet.
i only use IE to do updates and onestep nahant
Death to the Dark Legions!
*gasp* … but he has shoulders you can land a Boeing on …
Hallmark doesn’t, but Johnny Cash does.
ooohh – an Anniversary card for the ex….
(now if I only remembered the date… Ha!)
Let’s see – I think that there both solar and lunar eclipses that day, an earthquake, two tornadoes, and outbreak of bird-flu…
God, I hope so. Jindal is not good for my peeps in La. Plus he believes in exorcism . Maybe he can work his magic on The Old Fart. Out! Out damn spot! woof.
she was not a native and never got used to the place.
They literally hire a guy to chase off birds that land on the water in the Berkeley Pit before it kills them.
that was a response to Dr…Dick @ 241
Double shots to WDD & Loo Hoo from me …
well cut suit – good padding. he’s icky.
but it does work… some things Bill Gates make DO work just fine…
you forgot the ground swelling and a sulfur emitting hole opening up as the skies grew dark and thinking that one should be hearing the voice of charlton heston any moment.
He believes in exorcism ?
I wonder how his relatives in India feel about him now ?
He makes me want to call Ralph on the big white porcelain phone!
nahant did you just get here or have you been lurking?
do you want to do the Digg on LLN?
I don’t know how to land a Boeing, but there may be a flight school in Florida that could teach me…
Two scenarios:
1. They set up McLobby to lose.
2. They set up McLobby and they will select a VP to win.
3. They plan a Diebold win…no matter who’s running.
4. They plan to keep control via something like Directive 51.
5. Obama will have a controversy.
6. Obama’s VP choice will have a controversy.
7. Something will happen to McCain.
8. Something will happen to Obama.
9. McCain’s VP choice will have a controversy.
Wake me the fuck up when it is over..
Salud!
Back atcha! Cheers.
Hagee is Moses now according to Lieberman. Heston – well, he has cold, dead hands.
He stole Rudy’s “Metrosexual” image from under him … causing the Ghoul’s campaign to sink faster than FM/FM stocks …
Just got here a bit ago, you ga ahead and Digg I had plenty of pratice earlier in the week:>) Lets see how quick you can get it done…
I know. My Dad grew up in Butte – on skid row in Skid Row City USA during the Great Depression. He and two of his brothers and his dad worked in the pit.
Everyone in that family died from cancer. Except my Dad. I don’t know how he escaped. I think the fact that he got out of there fairly young and went into a cleaner line of work.
Ah well. The joys of being poor.
Well maybe the scientists studying that lovely bacteria in there can do the scaring away for free while they try to figure out how that stuff survives in that mess. Might be very interesting in terms of finding life on other planets LOL.
Yep. He performed an exorcism on an old girl friend in college cause she wanted to have (excuse me while I summon up the courage to say this) sex with Jindal. Jindal knew he would go straight to hell and, besides, everyone would find out he was gay. Rather than just saying no thank you he induced pea soup to spray from her head as it spun around 380. I saw the rerun.
you forgot the ground swelling and a sulfur emitting hole opening up as the skies grew dark and thinking that one should be hearing the voice of charlton heston any moment.
Oh yeah – the reception…..
You’re on fire tonight !
Funny. Had to think about that one for a sec, though!
Too many shots…9 scenarios…LOL
((Mwah!))
Hi gang. Just dropping in for a quick sec.
I have a new theory. McCain’s people are running against Obama like Obama is the incumbent (it was a long primary). Then they can blame everything bad bush thing on barack including losing/winning iraq, gas prices going up, and boy, just everything! It makes sense in the McCain Time Machine.
He not only believes in it – he actually participated in one as the exorcist according to him. He and a friend performed the ceremony on an ex-girlfriend who had become possessed. A bunch of people including the friend held her down while he ‘chanted and threw holy water on her and all that good stuff’. The demon left after only 5 or 6 hours. Oh, and while they were at it they cured her melanoma at the same time.
Ah yes, Ralph … the God of Binges !
What really pisses me off is that Anaconda Copper and its various heirs and assigns got away with poisoning that whole town for generations and has never had to pay a cent in compensation.
10. They let Obama win.
Are they Rethuglian???
ROFL … why is that so funny ?!!
late late nite upstairs
hmmm either Digg or my computer is acting strange
probably my computer
LMAO … and they made him Governor ?
Uh, that’s nine scenarios.. You are on a roll…)
Somehow, I don’t think any one ever pried it from those cold, dead hands.
Louisiana, you know.
What do you mean ‘can’? They already are!!! McSlime is running an ad now that accuses Obama of being the one who caused the $4 a gallon gas. Today he said that it’s Obama’s fault for not doing anything about the genocide in Darfur (after sending someone to read what he wrote in the Shoah guest book in Jerusalem).
Clinton got the blame for everything until it became obvious that Obama was the nominee. Now everything IS already his fault since then – and even before. Ha!
5-6 hours ? Sounds like a drug induced high … I wonder what was in the “Holy Water” …
That was two scenarios?!
Well, he is the (newest) most Liberal member of Congress… Of course it’s all his fault!
Without question (originally a Rockefeller operation). They are also long gone at this point. Bought by ARCO and then BP. Pulled out of Butte and Montana in 1983. Left a toxic legacy which contaminates much of western Montana. See here.
Yep. They sold themselves to Kennecott Copper and they sold themsleves to a couple of other mega-corps and the final one was some big mining conglomerate in South America. And, doncha know – they cannot be held liable.
Unfortunately.
I guess that’s why Montanans are so leery of anyone mining stuff anymore. All those Canadian cyanide-heap-leach things are getting turned down right and left, and deservedly so. Thank goodness.
Interesting.. As if Obama is the actual Prezdinnenntoett and should take the blame ultimately for Bush’s actions…
You are right that there is this meme that Obama is acting like he’s the Presdinenetntetityt now….strange…mind F.
And…the MSM is pushing it too….think about it….think about the pictures..think about the coverage..”rock star”..just sayin’. For everything I’m saying about this, I could say WTF?
Open wide…hear comes the plane…eat your food…Ymmm, ymmmm…good girl…good boy…..and think about all of the starving children in China.
absinthe. Cept I don’t think it happened in La. It was at some ivy league school like Messiah College.
OK. I am off to bed. Going to get elevated tomorrow (only about 1000 feet or so).
Night DD.
yes
Ah the good ol’ Berkeley Pit. The biggest Superfund cleanup site in the entire country. Of course it is NOT being cleaned up cuz no one even knows where to begin. While the mine was still active they pumped all the water out. But it has slowly been filling up since then.
The taxpayers are currently funding a cleanup here in Missoula that is associated with that Pit. The sludge from the Pit washed down the Clark Fork River and filled up the lake behind the Milltown Dam. That toxic sludge was contaminating all the local drinking wells. So, the dam has been removed, and they are removing somewhere in the neighborhood of 3 million cubic yards of this stuff and hauling a trainload of it back to Opportunity.
Opportunity – a small town built in the middle of a wasteland of black mine tailings that are almost as toxic as the water in the Pit. Nothing grows on it. The sludge from Milltown isn’t as bad and grass will actually grow on it so putting it there will cover the tailings and keep them from blowing in the wind and contaminating everything and everyone in Opportunity.
What a mess.
Nite DD
Late to the party but thanks Teddy! (getting ready to go on vacation and dealing with kids and the wife….)
