Now I don’t know if Randy has heard about our money bomb campaign, but I sure appreciate his words in tonight’s song. Words which speak to why I money bomb and why I want to make sure better parts of our history repeats itself. Face it, America, liberty is on the auction block. The recent congressional actions involving FISA makes this painstakingly clear. Our leaders attacked our fourth amendment protections with utter contempt for their oath of office. Unless of course you agree with Joe Lieberman’s answer to just about everything, then just sit back, relax and enjoy it.
What’s on your mind tonight?
Update: Our Money Bomb is over 145,000

Aloha, ES!
Wow Canada’s uniforms are just ugh
20,000 per medal? damn
es!
for most of my live I have enjoyed watching the Olympics…..as a kid I remember the “Wild World of Sports” and how they would show ALL the games….. how they narrowed down to the last few BUT since NBC got the contract…….it is ONLY Americans ALL the time….. NO build up to the final event….. sucks
boom
Heh, we’re supposed to be afraid… It’s patriotic, even…!
Digg is messed up
I tried to post this article but it went crazy on me
I’ll try again a little later
Good evening, my fellow firedogs.
Dugg by Neuro!
I’m still blissing on the lovely athletes marching in….with dreams and goals. I do hope this Olympics goes smoothly.
OK, I guess you can Digg now
it worked, neuro… dugg and thanks
awhile ago Digg told me “what you are looking for is not there…”
but apparently it is now
Yeah Right Neuro! Digg, dugg or I dug your digg!!!
(:>))
Five diggs with mine included…!
The Iran girls appear to be nuns……and other Catholic kids see SisterSister in the group?
oh noes..the evil Iran has entered the arena
Gotta love Sharia law…!
I miss that format, respect of all teams and atheletes.. at least much more so.
I would like the otion of pay per view, international, perhaps BBC? And I wonder how much pay per view without all the family bios, sad stories and commercials would cost. I might pay it..and I have never used pay per view.
I’d link a song by an alum from my hs accompanied by duane allman, but it’s early yet.
why is Badmiton and Table tennis a sport? Do you reach a peak physically at a certain age?
they must be staggering this show across the time zones–it’s been off my TV for a while now
Did all 5 of the Iraqis make their appearance yet?
Eureka Sprimgs…I love a LA not.
Oh well the supremes suck, congress sucks, the administration sucks, the environment sucks, the economy sucks and the future sucks even more.
Not to worry be well, eat healty and find a vigorous exercise you like doen’t cost a lot and doesn’t suck. Sun comes up every day. Let’s enjoy what we can and change ourselves and our little circle one day at a time.
Mat you get a ZED some fine day. Good evening to you all. I would still vote foe a ticket with John Edwards.
Oh dear… Hungary’s outfit for the women??? They look like dalmations
yep, they did and receive quite the reception. It should be deathly quiet when the U.S. comes in
I’m about an hour behind the CA fire pups…!
BBC just reported that Georgia just announced its withdrawing its 2,000 troop contribution to shrub’s Iraqi Coalition of the Willing… apparently there’re needed back home fighting Vlad-the-Gentle-Eyed
My county fair just set off their evening fire works….. I’m enjoying the entertainment. In little ways we can come together. Okay, I’m an aged naif, but I kinda like people. I think we can enjoy the enjoyment of others. Hey, we’re all in this together.
Didn’t boosh see this coming when he looked into Putin’s soul?
Sadly, a bunch more couldn’t make it after they’d ruled the Iraqis ineligible and then later rescinded the ruling… Too late for them…
Enjoy screw the fear. Take that.
disgraceful is what it was
An Iraqi paper announced it early today, along with the announcement that *gasp* the El Salvadorians were cutting their troop levels in Iraq…!
Sudan is about to come out
DAFUR DAFUR
Never to early for that, Muzzy.
My boyfriend worked for the Olympic Broadcasting Organization three times…. Atlanta – Indoor Volleyball, Sidney – Indoor Volleyball and Salt Lake – Luge, Down hill & ski jump….. he was the tech manager….. they broadcast ALL games, and the feeds go out all over the world…. the various countries/companies pay the OBO for the feeds….
The problem is NBC, they have the exclusive contract and they decide who and what is on……IF you don’t like the way they broadcast the Olympics here in the states take your comments to them…..
Elmore would talk about some great rivalry between two countries that everyone else was watching but not us….. because NBC only puts Americans ALL the TIME…
they are both soulless… hence shrub likely saw nothing at all, and figured it was the norm.
I can only imagine how the lines must be blazing between Beijing and Moscow.. “Stop raining on our Olympics!”
the Salvadorans have an army? :P
I await the entrance of the USA contenders. …… I’d like to think they will be welcomed. That they will be viewed as athletes and not as Bush-Co. We’ll see.
I want an FOIA request for every athletes traing schedule, diet and supplements for every team. All they do is eat, sleep and train. And something to get the hair back in front with original color and a fountain of youth. Clone me baby these people are just to fit.
We’re watching stuff on Globo and BBC. (well basketball and swimming)
they will get a welcome but I wouldn’t expect too much. The U.S. has a horrible reputation abroad now
We drove through Monaco…. on our way to Italy…… stopped and took pictures high up on the ridge at a rest stop…..
bb, are you in LA? My sympathies, if so.
Any team that has only male athletes is suspect, IMHO
gonna share some of them eye candy pictures, katymine?
sounds beautiful I was gone when you returned form your trip. How was it?
That is the best way to shut NBC out of it…….
BTW…. there is no more “ABC Wild World of Sports”….. it has been eaten up by ESPN…..
Apparently…! 8~P
I have my backup drives packed and will do it when I am sitting at my parents condo….. promise…..
woohoo! your pictures last time were such a treat. i’m looking forward to these
Wonderful…… Elmore and I …. ate, drank and drove across France, Italy, Switzerland and Crete……. AND it was not necessarily in that order….
yay great britain… (mr wobbs)
I also want a pizza with organic montana red sprimg wheat, high gluten flour and veggies. Yum. All that rowing builds appetite.
And I always thought participating in sport was better than watching.
Is it possible the prez couls get a little beyond his moutain bike skills and go ove the handle bars at breakneck speed?
Oh chystal ball what is in the future?
I love the healthy look…..and the athletic beauty of these contenders. Great to see these folks together.
Can’t wait to see the pics
I think I can mute the toob and watch, while listening to some Boz Scaggs joined by Duane Allman
Loan Me A Dime
.
be careful, bb. we don’t want the secret service visiting you and the lake.
Yeah Muzzy come on and share it. Puleeze it is Friday night.
Shit, the U.S. is still 20 countries away
Contras
that was an interesting commentary on Venezuela /snark
Yeah, It’s good of NBC to keep to the spirit of the games.
that wasn’t political at all *gag*
i wish we could have watched this on Globo or the BBC
Central Coast..mellow and slow the way I like it. How the arkies tonight. By the way we need another Prez that like affairs so we can have a good econ again. After all isn’t what we do in consent no bodies business but our own?
Why does Puerto Rico signal us waiting for the U.S.? *rolls eyes*
Excellent.
Contras in Iraq, fighting for shrub. Hehe. What would Ollie say?
those red dresses on some of the hostesses are hideous
here comes the U.S
Ha.. I can barely keep up with my own shenanigans, no interest in trying to keep up with others.. outside of hypocrisy.
Looking around AR today.. I can honestly say i hope it’s we never try to push any of our current crew towards the oval office.
The flag bearer for the U.S is a Sudanese American that was in a refugeee camp
Suz the SS ar on our side they gonna be protectin Obama her pretty quick. U jumping the gun that’s cool your a slf avowed republican. G gotta look out for your man. Let’s send him a titanium jock strap and chin guard.
Not much of a reaction for the U.S…not surprised
wonder if shrub stayed awake long enough to see the US team….
I don’t like that the USA kids have Polo logos == cuz I hate the advertising hype….but I like that people work hard in order to test their skills. What’s not to like about that? USA is getting a good enough reception. Now, go play.
The sad part of touring Athens last year was going by several of the 2004 Olympic sites that were abandoned….. chain link fence and weeds a couple of feet high….. one was the swimming venue……
yeah he woke himself up, put on his jacket and tried to look presidential. He looked more like an ass
that was in response to Blub
Show me LoLo !
Wobbs, you do know that Rio is competing for the next Olympics in ‘16, up against Chicago and several others…!
Yep, I know. i don’t think they will get it. It would be nice to get it. it would mean some infrastructure work, but how do you hide the favelas in Rio? You can’t…
I’d pay to see one of the athletes flip off the president
ok, pups, off to pack up more. tomorrow, i’m renting a van and npb and i are headed to castro valley to get the stuff out of the bride’s old storage and then bring it all back here, put all my potted plants into the van, take them to their temporary home, drop off the van, and get home in time to be here tomorrow nite. i gotta figure out where to get some sleep for sure (laughing)
g’nite all
he. I can’t recall when he ever looked presidential.. even when he tried looking like Putin by having a long red carpet leading to a fascist-like podium for his press conference, announcing the commencement of his conquest of Iraq
eureka my love-the message is the same, and gets lost, over and over again.
love.
peace.
think twice before you act.
neil young
let’s impeach the president

protest for peace video–blondie tape, makes me sick, what an ass…..matthews with crosby and nash when the dixie chicks dissed bush. vomit warning.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_tpwbv-LZLA
and as i stated in comments in the last threads-olympic athletes-screwed up individuals. write letters to support stories about them. i could go on for hours, firstand literally, with first-hand knowledge of this one.
bush using time to bicycle right before the olympics so he could ride the course? he didn’t earn it, selfish beyond reason to disrupt their limited time to get used to the course.
another abomination.
time to dive into the feathers, only thing that saves me. besides music and my friends. and good food. yep.
and……..nite.
And, BTW, Randy Newman rocks! He is one of the good guys.
Aloha, Suz!
This is a first…… Nite Suzanne…. See in a week ;)
boa noite, Suzanne
Safe travels tomorrow
nite suz. get some rest, long days ahead
he looked his usual clueless self
Bush tapping the american flag against his nads. symbolism is poweful
He played Eureka Springs not to long ago.. a town of 2k with an auditorium that holds a bit more than half the town. I didn’t know about the show until it started. Still kicking myself over that one.
Facts not in evidence.
Boz Skaggs “Hey girl look what you’ve done to me”
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v…..re=related
Since when does Bush let old facts get in the way? but your point is duly noted
someone give me their take on the guy hanging on the cables running in the air….. to me it looks stupid….
I think Mr wobbs was well into his drinking game by then. So I can’t help
Good grief.. since I took a break from television this summer.. it’s amazing just how obnoxious Tweety is, even when he’s right. He just wont shut up and let his guests get a word in edgewise.
huh?
i like to think he just doesn’t know where to stand.
Olympic lighting ceremony ….. it was the guy who light up the final torch for the event…..
Long days an lonely nights..was that a song…no pets wishing Suzanne goos fortune cookies happy dreams and screw it no bike accisent for Georgie Porgie we savin him for the Hague trials. I would have boycott the fascist Chinese games meself but then noone asked me. But I feel you are all entittled to my opinion. Peace, Love and Joy the bebdiction was always the best fart of the semon for me as it was the end. A whole half of Sundat dedicated to religion but followed by a dabdy meal. Just Sayin.

Sorry for your miss!
Their presence (Crosby and Nash) alone, calmed him way down.. touch the earth. But he just can’t help himself.
eureka, i started to post john lennon

Back at the ranch we are due to see some frog walkin in the capital for all that unnecessary killin in Iraq. Then lying his ass off about it while makin us poorer for it and his cronies rich.
crap, i’m tired, my 128—the first link. not the third.
outta here, my bed is more forgiving than this blog.
nite.
dmac, you always make me chuckle at this time of night because you show up saying good night and yet you stick around for a while. I bet your mother made lots of warm milk when you were little. *g*
Sweet witch, She muss be the good witch.
132 for DNAC 129 very sweet video of a womderful American Fam. Thanks for sharing.
yep, i’m the toddler that runs into walls and says, ‘i’m not tired’….bonk…
but i really am……
i see comments as i sign off, and can’t not comment…….a glitch in my character.
bonk.
am gonna post some music for you on the blog once i get back fully. had a mind-blowing week out of town……the good kind….
love ya.
sweet kayakin’ dreams, although a kayak to me would be a nightmare, give me a canoe please. or just let me wade and collect stuff on the shore to make into art. with a cooler and snacks. that would do.
bye.
And China marches in….. and why, I wonder, are we just not getting along with them? I kinda think they probably own us…. Thanks, Repubs, for sellings us out…and all of you overspenders who ran up your credit cards for plastic crap. Live (poorly) and learn.
yes, i am…. that’s why my friends and family keep me well.
and i pay them back with music. and art. that’s why they wanted me to do the blog.
so, i did.
under construction, will have art links soon.
thanks.
nite, really, it’s 230am here. wired from my trip. and the vivacious talk here.
feathers and cotton sound soooooooo good right now, they win.
America: Any chance to alienate somebody, we just can’t help ourselves.
Imagine what happens when “real ‘Mer’kans” see Chinese athletes kicking our asses in Olympic competition…
The “other.”
Wow.. you know the money bomb went up around 1500 funky dollar bills in the last hour.
my 136 was to big bro’s 132 and after……duh.
one last thing–
eureka
you are ‘the bomb’
Hey ES sorry that the AK body politic isn’t so great. But you do like the Beatles say take a sad somg and make it better.
Good that Bits is back. Got any music?
You know, I’m really hoping that our athletes do their best and also show their best behavior. I just never understood disrespect. I often wonder what would have transpired had we helped Russia early on after Reagan.
..you know, help with farming, help with building roads, help with learning to use resourses. What if we’d built bridges rather than turned tail? Sometimes I think we are just a bunch of zit-faced adolescents. Bring on someone with some sense of history and reality,
All so simple…do good not evil…love one another as I love you.
Give people the security net that takes thge paranoia away. That is just the opposite of what Turdblossom has done to the world with his neocaom pals. How misguided.
Funny you should ask.. I’m listening to the Meters right now.
I think we may have been as breathless as anyone that the USSR fractured so suddenly. Yeah, their demise had been on-going, but like lightning, pow.
And the US left with no primary enemy, everybody sat back and waited. We have no idea how to act, as we are a young nation and often very stupid actors. The worst part – we learned nothing from that piece of history, or, if we did, we ignored its significance.
They were caught off guard… but the playbook was already written..by familiar faces.

In the News Box:
Conyers welcomes administration’s negotiation offer
Yeah, I’ll bet ole ChimpCo is anxious to negotiate. And negotiate. And negotiate.
LOL.. It’s almost not news. /s And should be embarrassing for Conyers and all D’s.
Conyers (but not just Conyers in this Congress) is the Energizer Bunny™ of standing still.
I was at university of new mexico when I saw MJQ live at the campus music hall, Freshly out of USMC going to school.
They served every sound up elegantly it was an out of body experiece.

Noting to see here.. move along.
F.B.I. Says It Obtained Reporters’ Phone Records
They are replaying the opening here.. I missed the beginning earlier.. Wow!
But when it was clear that the recall wasn’t necessary, some insisted on continuing it.
In Arizona, when a governor leaves office early, the secretary of state ascends. In this case, that was Rose Mofford, an old-school Democrat from the small mining town of Globe, a lady with a bright white beehive that Arizona Republic cartoonist Steve Benson once famously drew as a cone-full of Dairy Queen.
Mofford had served as secretary of state for decades. She’d never aspired to the state’s top spot. But she accepted graciously and agreed to serve out the remaining 2 1/2 years of Mecham’s term. She never showed interest in running for another term after that, although she was enormously popular.
As the story goes, John McCain and his friends wanted her out immediately. And, they figured, they had the mechanism in place to do it. Mecham was gone, but the recall effort was still in place. Why not shift gears and target Mofford instead?
The Democrats didn’t like that one bit and asked the Arizona Supreme Court to consider the legality.
http://phoenixnewtimes.com/con…..ion/848709
So thats John’s standard for impeaching a Democrat, that and and lying under oath about ADULTERY
Voting guilty

But War Crimes, torturing POWs, War Profiteering, lying about WMD, outing a spy OUR FREAKIN SPY and McCain does nothing.
It’s impressive. Separate out all the nationalism of these ceremonies, and they are cool to watch.
Yeah the drive down to el paso at night you could see the cars tailights amny many miles. We sometimes took our students to mexico and danced til the sun came up. 1960 I worked at the Athur Murray studios we also went to the to other clubs and listened to jazz bands. Pion nuts in the surrounding Sandia mountains. Great old hipanic families and the hotest green chile evah. The land of enchantment and very crooked politics.
There was a time there when the livin’ was good. Sojourned there 25 years mas o menos. Would not give a wooden nickel for it now though still have many good friends there. Food was world class which I miss the most.
Over at The Guardian, Michael Moore is hitting em out of the ball park, as usual

take care of the place
Gosinski’s suspicions were right. Dr. John Max Johnson, AVMT’s medical director, had written two prescriptions for painkillers in Gosinski’s name, at Cindy McCain’s behest. He’d written more, too, in other people’s names. Some prescriptions, the DEA found, were for as many as 500 pills at a time. Johnson told investigators that he never traveled with the drugs; Cindy McCain kept them in her personal luggage. (Johnson later surrendered his medical license.)
http://phoenixnewtimes.com/con…..ion/848709
My Bold 500 pills at a time is not personal use isn’t that possession with intent to deliver?
n 1989, Cindy McCain became addicted to Percocet and Vicodin, opioid painkillers,[33] which she initially took to alleviate pain following two spinal surgeries for ruptured discs,[34][35] and to ease emotional stress during the Keating Five affair.[33] The addiction progressed to where she was taking upwards of twenty pills a day,[10] and she resorted to having an AVMT physician write illegal prescriptions.[36] In 1992, her parents staged an intervention to force her to get help;[17] she told her husband about her problem, attended a drug treatment facility, began outpatient sessions, and ended her three years of addiction.[33] Surgery in 1993 resolved her back pain.[33][35]
In January 1993, an AVMT employee, who had discovered her illegal drug use, was terminated on budgetary grounds.[37] Subsequently, he tipped off the Drug Enforcement Administration,[37] and a federal investigation ensued resulting in McCain paying the costs of the government’s investigation, and enrolling in a diversion program.[36][9][37] In a move that critics described as a preemptive strike,[9][33] Cindy McCain publicly revealed her past addiction: “Although my conduct did not result in compromising any missions of AVMT, my actions were wrong, and I regret them.”[9]

OXYCODONE thats what Rush Limbaugh was using right.
It was first introduced to the US market in May 1939 and is the active ingredient in a number of pain medications commonly prescribed for the relief of moderate to heavy pain, either with inert binders (oxycodone, OxyContin) or supplemental analgesics such as acetaminophen (Percocet, Endocet, Tylox, Roxicet
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Percocet
I think I caught the tail end of those “better times” the early eighties. Albq. still had one bridge (I-40) crossing the river. The air was still clean in those days. Rio Rancho was nothing other than old volcanos and something you took an afternoon drive to when there was nothing else to do… now it’s all one city and then some.
It was years later when I spent time around T or C, Hatch, Hillsborough and south of that area. I barely touched the wonders of the Gila. I hope to revisit that are with extra time available and comfortable pair of hiking boots.
G’ nite newntonusr
Vicodin reacts well with booze the effects are double or more when you mix them.
Percocet
Oxycodone may be habit-forming and should be used only by the person it was prescribed for. Keep the medication in a secure place where others cannot get to it. Percocet can cause side effects that may impair your thinking or reactions. Be careful if you drive or do anything that requires you to be awake and alert.
What should I discuss with my healthcare provider before taking Percocet?
Do not use Percocet if you are allergic to acetaminophen (Tylenol) or oxycodone. Oxycodone may be habit-forming and should be used only by the person it was prescribed for. Percocet should never be given to another person, especially someone who has a history of drug abuse or addiction. Keep the medication in a secure place where others cannot get to it.
Before using Percocet, tell your doctor if you are allergic to any drugs, or if you have:
*
asthma, COPD, sleep apnea, or other breathing disorders;
* liver or kidney disease;
*
a history of head injury or brain tumor;
*
epilepsy or other seizure disorder;
*
low blood pressure;
*
a stomach, intestinal, or pancreas disorder;
*
underactive thyroid;
*
Addison’s disease or other adrenal gland disorder;
*
enlarged prostate, urination problems;
*
curvature of the spine;
*
mental illness; or
*
a history of drug or alcohol addiction.

As if he didn’t know. heck he carries enough pain from injuries.. he probably played along for years.
IIRC there was always the Alameda, Central, and Rio Bravo bridges connecting east and west banks, Central bridge was the Route 66 bridge, Alameda connected Corrales, and the Rio Bravo for points South.
Yup, that’s right.. central/I-40/ route 66.. the same bridge. I cant remember the Alameda bridge atm.. Rio brava, I think they closed it for a long while.. Cut off Corrales.. while widening it.
Well it’s time for some shut eye at casa de Eureka.. good night fabulous firedogs
Why would anyone take Vicodin which is great with booze and Percocet/oxycodone which when it reacts with booze can destroy your liver and your ability to drink?
The McCains as far as I know have not stopped drinking socially or else they would be mentioning that fact to get the Church vote.
500 pills at a time suggests that you are dealing to a whole high school and or have a HUGE DRUG TOLERANCE that Kieth Richards would envy.
Maybe Cindy was getting and splitting the drugs with her husband. He does certainly seem more confused now than he was in the primaries.
Either that or John had a stroke I’m undecided.
I think she might have scored from him first a few drinks a few pills how else do you explain an old guy getting a girl like that by being rich?
Cindy was way richer. By spiking her drink at the party they met at and showing her a drug assisted great time?
Nite ES
1957 there were 50,000 population. The Sunset Inn was the ballroom/latin dancer hangout occasionally get to the La Fonda and there was a beat place with a basement on the weat side. The Catholics hated it. It was a private club with a speakeast style hatch to show your membership card. Omce inside your could drinl your byol listen to jazz while sitting on really old furniture around lots of beat paintings. Definitely not a healthy environment but culturally diverse. In 1968 or so I was at a family commune near Sante Fe in the desert. They made their own brick and adobe houses. Here and Now.
Nite ES thanks for hosting.
One question for Things: where did Ivins get the drugs for his suicide? ANd what were they. Has an autopsy been released? This really smells fishy.I assume he was under guard.
No autopsy last I heard however if he could get anthrax I’m sure he could trade something at the lab for any street drug he wanted.
You are right this is fishy the day people were wondering about it we need more follow up on this point.
Death
Ivins is alleged to have committed suicide. He was found unconscious at home in the early morning of July 27 and died at Frederick Memorial Hospital on July 29, 2008 from an overdose of acetominophen with codeine. [39][4] His obituary was published on July 31[1], and his death was announced in a staff-wide email to USAMRIID colleagues.[2] No autopsy was ordered following his death.[40] Immediately after news of his death, the FBI refused to comment on the situation.[4] Ivins’ attorney released a statement asserting that Ivins had cooperated with the six-year investigation by the FBI and also asserting that Ivins was innocent in the deaths.[41]
Ivins’ family has made no public statement about the investigation or the suicide. His children placed messages on their Facebook pages saying goodbye to their father. “I will miss you Dad. I love you and I can’t wait to see you in Heaven,” his son, Andy Ivins, wrote, “Rest in peace. It’s finally over.”[8]
[edit]
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bruce_E._Ivins
Sorry old information.
The FBI thinks they have the Anthrax killer but they don’t do an autopsy?
No wonder Bin Ladin got away THE ENTIRE GOVERNMENT UNDER BUSH IS SO STUPID THAT WE CAN’T HELP BUT THINK THEY ARE GETTING PAID BY THE OTHER SIDE.
Its no wonder that there are so many tin foil hats out there its hard to believe in a STUPID so pure.
I wonder what would happen if a normal person not Cindy McCain or Rush Limbaugh were caught with 500 pills of Percocet/Oxycodone and or Vicodin?
Just how much time would they do for a first offense.
sorry old information in my post @ 176
When I got my gallbladder out I got 19 pills of Vicodin I think I could have renewed the prescription but I didn’t.
Now then just how many prescriptions would Cindy’s Dr have to write in other people’s names for her to get 500 pills?
IOKIYAR
Just once on Keith Olbermann’s show I would like him to ask Pat “I’m a Contra too” Buchanan if he Pat as a Catholic thinks that the Catholic Church will make the Nuns killed and raped by right wing death squads wait as long as they made Joan of Arc wait to become a Saint.
Because of the embarrassment it would cause certain political figures and church officials.
I agree but come on when I have to get out a piece of paper or a calculator to figure out how many crimes you have done without serving a day then the system is broken.
Also how many prescriptions were filled more than once? 500 pills at a time for a week 2 weeks? Over a 6 month period a year what I wish these records were public.
If Cindy were poor and black in Florida she would have lost her right to vote for life.
John McCain being married to an addict should have lost his security clearance and with that his Committee Chairmanships.
Also who the hell takes 500 of anything legal or illegal the girl was dealing . But the Press won’t ask that question.
We should offer to prove that 500 pills is not personal use by making all the MSM take 500 pills until one of them survives.
Lets start with the Winger Press I think 500 pills would even over load Rush Limbaugh’s drug tolerance.
Did John McCain a person with real pain as a result of torture never notice his wife was on pain meds?
Alkies can certainly tell if someone else has had a drink I assume pill heads can too.
Did Cindy not once ever offer to share her stash with her husband who is still in constant pain?
Did the DEA ever investigate what Cindy really did with 500 pills at a time?
I don’t think a busy pharmacy would have that quantity of the drug on hand at any given time. Yes it is a criminal offense to posses that amount. The system of justice has been usurped and gutted since Nixon first ran for office on the “Law and Order” framing. No Judge who has to “get permission” from police associations to display their badge of approval to run for office or to remain in office, will conduct their court in any shape of fair forum. They are hostage to police, district attorneys, and the political interests that have other agendas. There is no valid judicial system in the US since those days. It is long since broken and corrupted. The only measure of the system is imprinted on silly-putty, it will be formed to whatever measure is desired.
When money or power is involved, expect no law to be enforced.
I don’t think a busy pharmacy would have that quantity of the drug on hand at any given time.
T-Bear Now that is a talking point would a small family pharmacy have that much Percocet/Oxycodone and or Vicodin in stock at one time?
If not this is huge any Firepups in the know for sure about the pharmacy business?
I wonder how much Wallmart keeps on hand?
I hope a front pager runs with this:)

Good morning, pups. It’s Collins, Blow and Herbert today. That Collins creature gives us “Ken Doll in Lust,” and says sex scandals will always exist in politics, but you would think that by now politicians would know how to make a decent public confession. In “Racism and the Race” Mr. Blow poses a question: So why is the presidential race a statistical dead heat? The pundits have offered a host of reasons, but one in particular deserves more exploration: racism. Mr. Herbert’s column is titled “Finding the Upside,”and he says sometimes voters give the stomach-churning campaign tactics of racism or anti-Semitism what they deserve — defeat.

The coffee and tea are ready, and I’ve got banana pancakes this morning. I’m going to head out to the garden now and do what needs to be done with growing things and fill the bird feeders before the heat sets in. Have a great day.
Doesn’t it depend on how many miracles occur through their intercession? Or something like that?
good morning, Thanks Marion, I might have to go read Herbert’s column today. The opening ceremonies were spectacular. The Boston Globe has some great pictures of the festivities.. http://www.Boston.com
Herbert is worth a look. He’s mightily annoyed with Tinker.
John Edwards had an affair in the past, and everyone knows that, had it come out during the general election, it would have wrecked his chances.
John McCain had an affair, dumped his wife and eventually married his mistress, and it has had no visible impact on his electability. It seems to be beneath discussion in its level of significance. Is the key here dumping the wife and making an “honest woman” of the mistress? Just askin’.
Once again you brought up an important point but you seemed to have forgotten that IOKIYAR.
Good morning everyone. Sun is out here in Maine for the first time in 10 days. Rain, rain, flash flooding, rain. Tired of it and welcome the glorious sun today! ;-)
One American killed in China…

I hope this isn’t a foreshadow for things to come.

Yes but the speed in which the Pope approves Sainthood could be right away or like Joan of Arc a long, long weight.
He is, indeed. His new album Harps and Angels came out just last week. His site gives you two ways to listen to it for free, and it’s great, and getting fantastic reviews. Nonesuch has several videos of him discussing the songs on the album, many of which reflect his frustration with the current administration and state of the country.
