Fitz!

thers! dayam, give me a minute to put my heart back in my chest after reading this post’s title.

And Barone does not fail to remind us that in Missouri local prosecutors threatened to arrest anyone who criticizes Obama about anything…

Damn straight! Schlozman weeps, the little creep.
Hey Thers!

Just trying to spice up yer life, Suz.

Were you especially worried about Santa?

lmao

Wingnuttia is in total meltdown mode. Their carefully crafted dream world is crashing down around them as the American people prepare not only to thoroughly repudiate the conservative agenda (perhaps for a generation), but to actually elect (*GASP*) a black man president of the United States. I’m buying popcorn futures. This should be entertaining.

i can’t worry about santa until after halloween thers. i’m old school about holidays.

Hey newtonusr

Fitz better indict Santa quick before the ice cap melts and he and the elves end up sleeping with the fishes (and polar bears).

Funny stuff Thers. I gotta go back and read that article. what fucking “corridors” is this delusional shithead talking about? Off to read.

oh noz! do the elves know how to swim? the raindeer can fly away – or is that limited to just christmas eve?

LOL

I’m preparing by stocking up on Moe Lane from Red State posts about how the primaries wrecked the Democratic party. Those are especially tasty.

An Obama presidency will recharge the wingnut battery. Fox News and conservative talk radio owe their success to Bill Clinton.

…do the elves know how to swim?…

Of course. But it’s not the survival thing – it’s when they strip off those tiny costumes to keep them from drowning.
Nekkid elves – talk about brain-bleach warning!

Digg is now open Pups! these asshole know no boundaries and will stoop down so low in the gutter and just lie, lie, and then lie some more!

I’ve sung this song
and I’ll sing it again……..

Anyway. If it was a regular meltdown it’d be one thing. But at the same time they’re melting down, they’re twisting themselves up like pretzels. They hate both Obama and McCain. I check out Malkin from time to time. It’s like a double meltdown.

I think you are about to have an endless supply of fodder for the forseeable future. An Obama victory is going to send these sweet little boys and girls completely over the edge rabid wolverine batshit crazy.

Dugg, nanhant!

They have become radioactive human Klein bottles.

Hot diggity Dugg!

Palin today:
“In times like these with wars and financial crisis, I know that it may be easy to forget even as deep and abiding a concern as the right to life, and it seems that our opponent kind of hopes you will forget that”

ummm… there are at least three internal contradictions in that sentence, dear.

kinda like this?

dugg

True the reindeer can fly away as long as they don’t venture into Wasilla airspace they might be okay. Don’t know if elves can swim, perhaps more importantly, can they outswim a starving polar bear or a bunch of seals who are really tired of seafood and have a hankering for some red (and green) meat?

So Santa skates, is that it? Santa beats the rap?

(When I make my cop movie Suzanne will play my gruff veteran partner, with lines like “Dammit Thers, we gotta play this by the book!” And then I’ll say, “But the book wasn’t there to save those kids!”)

Every day this week I check the polls, and have been relieved to see that the sane 65% to 75% of the nation is not buying this junk. Sooner or later we have to confront the fact that the remainder ofthe country is stark raving mad.

It ain’t primarily about race (Obama), it ain’t primarily about gender(Hillary). It is about ruthless quest for money and power at the top, and a question of basic insanity at the botttom of their shitpile. These people would do the same to Biden, or Dodd, or Clark, were they on the top of the ticket. They would berserk out in a simialr fashion were freaking Hagel at the top of the GOP ticket. When that poor despicable rat McCain cringes and leans back from the abyss, they nutballs tell themselves McCain is just speaking in code because he is afraid of he liberal media backlash! They are raving nuts. If you or I decided to run for city or county something or other, these peopl;e would do the same to us (even the good sane Republicans here at FDL).

Sooner or later we have to face what is becoming a real menace to our political culture. The reactionary coroporate and reactionary religious power brokers will stop at nothing and will not blush to incite anything, just so long as they can keep their greedy hands on bucks and power.

We need to politically bury, crush and humiliate them this election. When not phone panking or ringingn up a few contributions, I am out precinct walking to get more and better Democrats in the House.

Everyone has to man the battle stations. This is our chance to put a real dent in their infernal and very dangerous machine.

“Send”….?

Then ya still have the turkey to deal with… Altho, I think the turkey got ran over by Santa’s sleigh awhile ago…! ;-)

Neuro have you found you PC yet??

i have to admit, i play a wicked mean bad cop better than i do good cop.

Only three? She must be phoning it in. Usually she can get that many in before the dependent clause.

:P

sata

and thers, even when at my baddest, i would never arrest santa – dood, you should see the stuff he slides under my tree!

Well the Flyers fans had their say…but apparently management knew what was coming.

From a Philadelphia Flyers fan who was there: “uhhh….a mixture of boos and cheers?? More like 5 parts boos, 1 part light applause. They had to turn the music up so loud I was worried that it was going to crack the ice! The crowd was chanting Puck you Palin! BOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!”

Dugg it!

Yeah, that’s something I’ve argued before. NRO and places like that thrive on resentment, and will only get richer and crazier now that they’re in the wilderness.

nahant, how’d you know I was here lurking? are you psychic, or did you see my comment at Digg?

santa baby

Hee hee.

If the witch knew she’d have such an adverse reaction to water, why’d she have buckets of it scattered around the castle? If I didn’t know better I’d swear that movie was completely made up.

I think Santa and the elves have been Palinized away. Setting up shop in Iceland.

Well, send further into the dark and fiery abyss of their own creation.

anybody know if there’s a new SNL tonite?

perhaps the south pole – iceland is bankrupt (or close to it)

OMG…. Obama is going to take away our guns…
OMG ….Obama is going to take away our bibles…
OMG…. Obama will convert the whole country to Islam…..
OMG…..Obama is going to force EVERYONE to have abortions…..

It is the same crap……. the same hate…… same lies…… they have been telling since 2002……

Yep! a funeral WILL be held for the rabid branch of the republicans. There are some sane ones here and throughout the country and they have my respect and I wouldn’t mind having a beer with them and talk about what this country truly needs to get back on and even keel! But these rabid bastards need to be buried politically and never allowed to represent anyone else in OUR country! I hope this is their undoing now and forever!

Repukes tired of Moose Pie…must make up stuff which only their brain dead base will entertain. Oh well so what?

Is it really possible for NRO to get crazier? Doesn’t that violate some kind of Einsteinian principle or something?

Wait until these Republitards find out Barack Obama fathered a black baby … or two!

Thers, did you actually read that whole HillBuzz post? i didn’t finish. talk about verbal diarrhea. But this sorta says something about credibility.

McCain will win all the states the media claims Obama’s leading in…the very same way Hillary Clinton won California, New Jersey, New York, Massachusetts, Ohio, Texas, Indiana, South Dakota, and Pennsylvania: all states the media insisted Clinton would lose.

I do not recall one – not one-report saying that Hillary would lose any of those states. Absolute bullshit.

I’m afraid we’re gonna be hearing quite a bit of this shit. As soon as Obama wins, there will be calls for a special counsel, congressional investigations, and impeachment. within the first month.

On the TAKE was ya SUZ??

I heard it was a repeat….

OMG–Obama is a closet windsurfer

Sort of like conservative “facts”.

Were you especially worried about Santa?

I’ve heard that the Palin crime family has it in for Santa, the representative from the North Pole.

The Barone Uncertainty Principle:
The harder you look at the Gopper phenomena, the more erratic it becomes.

‘zactly.

It is essentially the same crap they have been spewing for most of my adult life and my first vote was against Nixon.

OMG…..Obama is going to force EVERYONE to have abortions…..

crap.

I don’t know if I can stand another one….

LOL.

Sarah hasn’t talked about gays yet. I’m sure that’s next on the agenda. Is the subject of guns outdated or not?

Yup. Santa’s a good guy.

now I’m not a wind surfer but I heard it requires amazing coordination and strength….. and in the Columbia gorge more so…… such a fairy….

The way I figure it, almost everybody must have congressional race within an hour or two drive of their place. Beautiful fall weather for a stroll, and you will get some excercise on a four hour precinct walk. If possbile, get out and do what you can to get that Democrat House count up.

The wingnut wing of the GOP has to be obliterated, so the sane Republicans can go back and build something safe and sane from the smoking ruins.

Hate to sound so… gosh darn partisan, but dude, look at that mess over there. It’s like a bunch of oily rags and half empty gasoline cans piled in corner of the garage, on top of left over fireworks, with deeply maladjusted kids playing with matches in the dorway.

Oh, this is going to make the whole Clinton circus seem like a quiet evening with the family.

Oh noz a repeat(:>( I was looking forward to a new Sarah adventure… like her telling Tod to get rid of Wooten any way he could. Even snooping into his personnel file, just slightly against the law! Law they don’t follow no stinking Law.. that for the other guys!

Its going to be a little difficult with me since I don’t have that plumbing anymore ;)

OMG…..Obama is going to force EVERYONE to have abortions….

And when those abortions are botched, as, like, 87% are, he will require that the baby be left to die.

Tina Fey on SNL now

http://icanhascheezburger.file…..layers.jpg

santa only gives to good girls… and i am very good at being bad ct

Goopers are like cockroaches, they can’t stand the light.

Hi Thers.

Way ta go. I didn’t need that night’s sleep anyway.

Thers are you certain that pic is from Road Warrior? Looks like some recent photos I’ve seen of Madonna.

Cause he doesn’t go to Sarahs’ church!! Actually I heard Santa is Agnostic!

Heh, Miz Sarah wrote much of Tina’s material for her…! ;-)

BL, I did. There’s just no space to get into it all the nuttiness. But HB is in fact arguing that the Obama campaign has forced all the polling companies to oversample Dems.

Really.

ct? What’d I do this time…? ;-)

Yeah she did, VP debate on SNL, remember? Said she didn’t know any but knew OF some, Ellen and that basketball player at one of the colleges she attended.

I’m sorry, but there are no sane Republicans. No sane person would allow what has happened to the Republican Party in my lifetime. You are right, however, that we have to destroy what they have created before it destroys our democracy.

I hope it is “yup” this election and the nutcases get hammered. There is a branch of moderate Republicans in my family. Or, rather there was. Around 2003-4 they were very defesnive and wondering what to do. I told them that there needed to be more sane Republicans, and the best thing for them to do would be to stay in the party and fight to kick out the nutcases. I told them they wouldn’t get any grief from me about their party ID.

No sane Repbulican in my family is willing to talk about their party ID anymore. As far as I can tell, very few of them are still in the party. Lots of new Democrats and indepedents. Only the family nutcases still advertise that they are GOP.

so was mine…72

Our source in federal courts said, “Any crime that involves more than two people and is carried out across state lines qualifies as a corrupt organization. The fact that those “Goodwill” donations were made in Texas and received at Obama headquarters in Chicago or Washington means it qualifies for RICO.”

Been some time since I did any RICO work and when I did, fuck, that’s complicated, but it seems to me, the source is full of shit.

oh crap – sorry ct. i’m gonna blame that glass of wine with dinner tonight.

nahant, sorry for confusing you with that troublemaker ct (laughin)

Present company excluded, of course.

oops – repeat SNL.

And he is going make us all have gay sex and gay marry so we can have those abortions. Oh, wait a minute ….

Wait’ll Obama forces gay men to get abortions. Performed by Hillary Clinton! Bwah haha hah!

when carlin died i was watching his old hbo specials. he told one that sounds like it might have been around….
“Ya know why santa is so jolly? He knows where all the naughty girls live.”

You got a wayback machine?

Troublemaker? Moi??? *g*

Its going to be a little difficult with me since I don’t have that plumbing anymore ;)

I’m telling ya, any more forced abortions, and I’ll be getting worried about mine too.

Hee hee.

My Photoshop-fu may even surpass Attaturk’s!

Of course.

Last year my doctor told me they don’t recommend prostate exams until age 50, so I was off the hook. I looked at her in mock horror and asked, “You use a HOOK?”

but–Obama windsurfs while speaking French!

I was wondering just that same thing CT!

Trust me on this, but you really do not want to think about annual physicals over 50.

I am so sick of the paranoid delusional hatefucks.
What the hell could Obama do to upstage what BushCo has done to this country?
Anyone else sick to death of ignorant fucks that have a bully pulpit to torture the nation with?They are so afraid of change they are hysterical.
Be afraid you ignorant bastards, stay that way.
Get out the chicken bones and the read the cow intestines, then make sure that you don’t spill the salt while you are walking around a ladder that a black cat is sitting under.
Two and two is six and it is still Clintons fault.
Ignorant fucking idiots.
That is what they are, that is what they will always be, there is no hope for them. Push them back onto the fringes of society where they belong and lets get to work dragging this country out of the Dark Ages and back to the realities of the Twenty First century.
I can’t wait to be rid of the snake oil salesmen and the Voodoo witch doctor pigfuckers who seem to have come out of the swamps by the thousands in the last eight years.

Ha!

Hooks will be mandatory when Obama seizes control!

You mean the Obambi campaign? Really (Confederate Yankee).

Drive them back under their rocks in the feverish sewer swamp, nail those suckers down, and permanently quarantine the whole region like they did at Chernobyl.

Yeah, I figure 49 will be my last. Either that or I show up with a glass eye in there. “Here’s lookin’ at you, Doc.”

You’re a republican? I know Suz used to be…

What present company is republican?

Let’s just say that the prostate exam is the lesser of your worries.

Alright Busted some real “People’s English” coming from you tonight(:>)) By the way you “NEW” Truck looks great and the price4 well what can I say!! I am still driving my 20 year old Jeep and I am going to run it till it rusts into the ground… Oh yeah they don’t rust away like that here!

BRB Dinner time!

Don’t get mad, get even. Go to the DKosopedia and find a house race near you that you can help turn into a more Dem or a more-better Dem.

Three weekends, and then an afternoon or evening of GOTV!

http://www.dkosopedia.com/wiki/Main_Page

I thought only Suz had the brass cojones to be here…? ;-)

Oh, she talked about gays alright, when Charlie Gibson “interviewed” her. In her roundabout way, she said she would never judge anyone who thought differently than herself, that being gay was a choice. She managed to get in there that she would never judge anyone, but if you listened closely, you heard her say she wouldn’t judge anyone who thought differently than she did, not that she would never judge anyone for being gay.

Then, when interviewed by Katie, she talked about her friend of 30 years who is gay, having made a different choice than she did.

She also has talked about her wonderful diverse family and group of friends, which makes me wonder why they had to send that son Track away to Michigan. Trouble in the locker room?

Pretty clear she’s been told to make clear that she see being gay is a choice, which is what got Bill Richardson in trouble at the LOGO/HRC interview many months ago.

”Obabmi” is fun — they want to call him a wuss AND Darth Vader at the same time.

They can’t even keep their bigotry straight…

Hard to imagine how anybody came up with the theory of “intelligent design” when all the important parts are in bad places.

IQ’s can be measured, ignorance is infinite.

i think newton was referring to *cough* me *cough*

dang, i got brass ones? no wonder i’ve been feeling weighed down lately

Didn’t watch either appearance – she gives me an ache in my head and other places. She’ just an awful person.

Look at the Huffpo front page. Does that crowd look like America?

Anybody who believes in “Intelligent Design”(sic) knows nothing about biology. The whole thing is clabbered together Rube Goldburg style and just barely works at the best of times. Constant conflicts (like walking upright and giving birth to big headed babies) and endless errors (about 0.5% of infants carry at least one genetic mutation).

Also explains the clanging sound when you walk.

Hard to know what Bill’s trouble was, did he fail to get the memo? He’s not a stupid guy, I’d like to give him the benefit of the doubt and say he was just overthinking it, i.e. if you make a sweeping generalization about such a large group of people, there are bound to be some exceptions.

She also has talked about her wonderful diverse family and group of friends

Ms Palin…… define diverse?
Define it by race, religion, sexual orientation……. DIVERSE by ass

Can get you a good conduct award, IOW, avoid electrical currents.

Well, they’re not made of styrofoam…!

she gives me an ache in my head and other places. She’ just an awful person.

wait till you read the TrooperGate report. If McGramps gets elected, who he needs to watch out for is da First Dood. Guy’s a hatchet-man.

I’m gonna get that tattooed. Well no but I’m clapping.

Re Fitzgerald, if he goes after anyone it is likely to be Democratic Illinois Governor Rod Blagojevich. However this investigation is moving at the same glacial pace as the one in which he put former Republican Illinois Governor George Ryan away.

Me too, Margot and Busted…

short bus domestic terrorist!

D’oh!

Dood was Cheney to Sarah’s Dubya with the important difference that unlike Dood, Cheney was listed on the ballot. I think THAT might turn out to be the biggest scandal of all.

Didn’t anyone vet this guy?

Since Bush was appointed Prez…… and lived in Oregon for 19 years…… wondered where the black helicopter guys…… the militia guys…… where were they….. didn’t buy the story that they got too old to pay Soldier and combat games…… wackos don’t get tired…….

These groups were a big issue through out Clinton’s two terms……. organizing, war games…… creating fortified compounds…… survivalists……. new world order…

So….. are these the same wackos or their kids?

Yep the Ole’ roto rooter is the worst.. oh maybe the prep is the worst part of it… drinking that god awful stuff and then doing your duty time after time!

I got the impression he was uncomfortable with the subject and the situation, and just got confused…not that it reflected some kind of fundamental belief like it no doubt is for Palin

but then I like Bill Richardson

Fitz is painstakingly slow and very thorough, never leaves anything to chance, and rarely, if ever, makes mistakes. I have never been a fan of the Blagojevich clan. For the most part, typical corrupt machine politicians.

who do you think she thinks the guns should be used on?

didja see that palin got booed when she dropped the puck at the Flyers-Rangers game?

How stupid id this campaign? They must really believe that sarah is magic. Sending a candidate to a sports event is usually not smart. a republican at a nascar race, maybe. but philly fans boo almost everybody.

Oh, they are still around and very much active here in Montana and the rest of the Northwest, just a tad quieter lately cause one of theirs was in the White House.

Didn’t anyone vet this guy?

Oh, I’m sure that Gramps made sure that Todd was a *real* snowmobile racer.

Maybe.

Now that I’ve read the report, I’d really like to see Todd’s Affidavit. ‘Cause if it says what it’s reported to have said, he’s in one HUGE pile of, um, trouble.

How stupid id this campaign?

That’s a rhetorical question, right?

Fitzgerald should be going after BushCo, En Toto.
If that isn’t a crime syndicate, I have never seen one.

Oh, I’m sure that Gramps made sure that Todd was a *real* snowmobile racer.

He saw it where I saw it – on teh internets. Oh, wait…

Say it darling — SHIT!

but did she enter the Ultimate Hockey Mom contest?

And swat a puck into the net with her flute, or sumthin’?

Sam Wang of the Princeton Election Consortium (’nother one of those poll of polls franchises) gives advice on how you can maximize your impact in the election)

http://election.princeton.edu/…..#more-1773

(Wang focuses on Senate. For me, helping in close House races is easier, at least given my time/money ratio over next month)

” What I suggest you do. For all these reasons, I have identified three Senate races as being among the most effective places you can put your effort or money. This is my advice to everyone, Democrats and Republicans. The Republican National Committee may be about to act along these lines. These races may become less competitive. Others may come into the picture. But right now they are the best targets, period.

Tonight I’m donating to my side – Merkley, Franken, and Martin – via my ActBlue page. Some of you might want to contribute to the other side via the National Republican Senatorial Committee. I assure you that in either case, the donation will have the maximum possible leverage in what happens in 2009. “

They got the job done. Sad part is, as Republican Illinois governors go, Ryan was actually one of the better ones. He placed a moratorium on executions after (something like) 19 death row inmates were exonerated by DNA evidence. He espoused dropping the decades old embargo on Cuba, arguing that it had failed to bring about any change in government and merely punishes average citizens. Of course, one could argue that these positions were an effort to salvage his legacy since he was already under investigation.

the way you vet a guy like first dood is you let him take you on a hunting trip

and see if you come back

Night all.

That’s what they should be RICO’ing – the GOP.

Say it darling — SHIT!

oh great – now I’m blushing.

everybody here knows how I simply can’t condone, and most certainly *never* use, profanity….

She just figured out what she is going to name her next baby, Puck.

Last I knew accessing State personnel records is against the Law and whom ever let him do it is also guilty!! Just maybe the Governor?

Night, Thers.

I think I’m out too, see y’all.

if it is available, marcy has it. didja check her place for a link to it? i remember todd’s affidavit was leaked the night before the report came out so look at marcy’s either thur or fri for it.

Now no disparaging my favorite sport!! Hope the crowd was chanting PUCK YOU SARAH!!

g’nite thers

Just because he was thoroughly corrupt doesn’t mean he was all bad. As Illinois Rethugs go, he wasn’t bad and did a few good things – mostly those you mention.

OT but High energy

Boone here.

Just what does this mean?

Over the last 30 years I’ve gone to Washington and met with Presidents, Senators and Congressmen. Since I had money they would always see me. And I have to say, they were always very respectful. But, the result was always
the same — NOTHING HAPPENED!!

That’s not going to be the case anymore! Early next year when I go to Washington to ask the new president and congress to give us a NEW ENERGY ECONOMY, I won’t be going alone — you and I will be going together — along
with a million others.

I guarantee you the result will be different with all of us going arm in arm.

I’ve said it many times before, but it’s worth repeating — we’re going to keep drivin’ this thing ’till we hear some glass breaking.

Thank you!

Boone

PS: Next you’re going to get an email from Team Pickens about the last debate next Wednesday night. We’ve got to make sure Senators Obama and McCain get our message, and we’ve got a couple ideas that we think will get
their attention.

nite thers
nite ratfood

Gnite fellers, I just woke up from a nice nap. BWAAAAAHAHAHAAAAA

g’nite ratfood

http://www.nydailynews.com/new….._at_f.html

there’s a youtube of it but it’s not working for me

Unauthorized access to any personnel records is a violation of the federal privacy law.

Night Thers! Great snark!

Night rf.

when he’s solved our energy crisis I hope boone gets right to work on health care…

Do Not Trust T. Boone Pickens. Ever. Take it from someone who grew up in the oil patch.

The report does say that she illegally got records and used them for her personal benefit.

The reason that Branchflower said the firing was legal is that Monegan was an at-will employee, and could be fired for any, or no, reason at all.

Ya mean he could go to the Big Leavenworth house?? OH OH I can’t wait!! I would feel bad for the kids if they were both to end up in jail! But you know they would be better off away from such parents!

Well seeing as Thers has gone to bed and Hockey WAS mentioned!! YA Sharks!! They beat the hated LA Kings 3-1!!! GO SHARKS!!

Don’t think there is any jail time attached to violations, unfortunately. Not sure what the penalties are, actually, except the administration is constantly on us about maintaining confidentiality.

Now no disparaging my favorite sport!!

hmmm…. Do you feel that you were *born* a hockey fan, or was it a personal decision?

It was scary that Thers did not make up this allegation of a plot completely out of his/her own head.

Did you see/hear him on Rachel Maddow’s show, um, maybe Thursday? Sad.

Right never turn your back on him…he is building alot of windmills though he likes natural gas. A step in thr right direction.
Read Earth: The Sequel 2008 lots and lots of venture capitalist ready on the sidelimes besides T Bone.
Yes I am totally opposed to Big Oil they are cold blooded. Worked on a tig n Wyoming throwing thw chain and setting thr tong. They tried to stiff me on payday!
There will be a lot of investors looking for big bucks on the new energy boom.

It’s 8-8 in the bottom of the 9th in Tampa…!

Haven’t done much but skim the comments. I have/had a redneck friend who was actually like a brother to me. I know, life is strange. But that ended when he put up signs for Dino Rossi – Darcy Burner’s opponent. All hell broke loose.
He actually had no idea of Rossi’s politics. No idea that he was voting against his own interests. Just put up the signs because some other rednecks he likes gave them to him. And was almost violent when I accused him of being taken for a tool. Of course, being an instigator I was ready for his outrage.
That pretty much sums up a lot of the Republican signs, in my opinion.
I noticed today that the Rossi signs are gone and there’s Libertarian signs in their place.
But we’re still not talking……

OMFG… who are these people we’re running against????:
DAVENPORT, Iowa (CNN) – A minister delivering the invocation at John McCain’s rally in Davenport, Iowa Saturday told the crowd non-Christian religions around the world were praying for Barack Obama to win the U.S. presidential election.

“There are millions of people around this world praying to their god—whether it’s Hindu, Buddha, Allah—that his opponent wins, for a variety of reasons. And Lord, I pray that you will guard your own reputation, because they’re going to think that their God is bigger than you, if that happens,” said Arnold Conrad, the former pastor of Grace Evangelical Free Church in Davenport.

http://www.nypost.com/seven/10…..132939.htm

All discussion of personell evaluation has to take place in closed session. They are private file and the unions will seek a judgenebt,

yes I did.

The report has him trying to keep from talking about Trooper Wooten’s disciplinary action, and explaining to people that it was illegal to give any details, while at the same time feeling pretty sure it was gonna cost him his job.

let me guess why he is a former pastor

Yes. How could he have “ever known?”

well, I’ve watched the SNL rerun, and Tina Palin did the opening scene. Is that all I’m likely to see of her tonite?

for a variety of reasons I had missed all her appearances until tonite. Need to go spend some quality time on YouTube.

let me guess why he is a former pastor

better to guess why the church used a *former* pastor….

(hint – think IRS)

Born would be the best description… Growing up in Boston you couldn’t help it and since the coming out to the Bay Area and the sharks being born here Well Oh and it doesn’t hurt that I played for six years with a bunch of the Guys once or twice a week at all sorts of odd hours!

One fan held a sign that read “Vote Obama” behind New York’s net, and a few others held “Obama-Biden” signs behind Palin. …

Hope hope hope My Red Sox pull it out!! I know a lot of family will be sitting on the edge of their seats!!

Off to bed. Take care all.

nite, Doc.

at least now we get some interesting insight into rethug cosmology: not only must we fight wars on earth, so that our empire and our theocracy can prevail in the domain of man, but that same war is echoed in heaven, where the rethug gods are engaged in a titanic and apocryphal struggle against the evil gods (or demon lords?) of liberalism or simply of furriners. How interesting.

g’nite dr dick

Oh, wonderful! Where? sorry to ask…

It’s headed to extra innings… I swear the Cardiac Sox just have to prove it…! ;-)

Rossi is the quintessential crooked Republican Bastard.

That’s going to be an interesting battle if only the ‘players’ mentioned are involved. ‘Hindu’ isn’t a god – it’s the name of a religion. (They have hundreds of gods and goddesses though!) Buddha is not a god either – he was a philosopher and a bunch of other stuff but not a god. That leaves Allah. Allah is just another name for the same god this idiot preacher was praying to. So…he’s going to have a fight with…himself?

Bwahahahahahah!

I just found the game listed on the guide as pretty women… go figure!!

Um, is it live, naked, drunk blogging time yet?

cuz i’m ’bout to pass out.

;~P

TBS, eh? Aargh, the heart of the BoSox order went down in order, now Papelbon faces the heart of the Rays order…!

Sometimes I find gazing into the rethug wingnut psyche to be no less a study of the alien other as reading a historical cultural anthropology text describing the rituals of some ancient culture… like accounts of ancient meso-American human sacrifice, for instance.

Suz, is it your night? We gettin toons?

is it late sat nite?

only 10 minutes and counting to Late Late Nite, Dr B…

you betcha!

although I admit that sometimes on a Thers thread I forget that it is not already Late Late Nite…

Praise Hindu!

-G

Yeah, Rossi is the opposite of Barry Goldwater,And that’s the Republican image some of these non-thinking Republican offspring don’t understand. It’s only the brand name, their father’s party, that matters. For the older Repugs, as far as I can tell. The weird thing is that most of them are actually pro-union and completely supportive of medicare. Go figure.
It’s a tough sell.

Bwahahahahahah!

Nothing like using Repug Ad memes on repugs…….. anti-Shadegg ad talking about all the votes for Bush….. advocated privatize social security …… as the picture of Shadegg morphs into Bush….. boooo that is scary….

I think that is the reason we Progs and Dems have such a hard time. We are basically mostly rational, reasoning sorts, and the Rethugs are,…well, not.

George Lakoff has spent a lot of time with his ‘framing’ studies, trying to figure out how to change those basic frames that all of us carry around and through which we perceive the world. So far, not very successfully. He explains what they are, how they work, and how to figure out what the other person’s frames are but so far, no one has come up with a way to change them.

I guess that’s why when we talk about the 22%ers or whatever the number is now, most of us don’t even bother trying because it is, at this point at least, a waste of time even trying.

Got Betty Boop for President, Suz?

Dude, maybe you’re giving to much credit to anthropology.

Minutes!

Last night, some commenters here urged commenter TheraP to post an Oxdown diary about her thoughts regarding Sarah Palin’s unethical behavior. She did, and here is the link:

http://oxdown.firedoglake.com/diary/636

I encourage you all to go there, read it, recommend it, and Digg it!

Geez – I just screamed at the cat to “shut the hell up so I can read!! Goddmanit!!”

Yeah, and didn’t I feel stooopid after seeing the last name on the list was Santa Claus. I mean, really – Santa Claus. Would Pat Fitzgerald indict Santa Claus?

Sure does make you wonder just how much damage Regan Really did to the rethuglian party with his strict lean to the Miltie Friedman Economic Science! Look at what it has done to the whole world… No wonder we have so many enemies out there! Who wouldn’t hate us for what was forced on them in the name of unfettered Capitalism and the dismantling/privatizing of all of their social services. I wonder just what has been the cost in human lives because of these failed economics??

late, late up!

PS, TheraP, I apologize if you are he instead of she, I’m not sure why I assumed you were she…

Isn’t it interesting that all the Rethugs seem to have DSM-IV diagnoses? Why is that? What is it about these people that gets other people to vote for them? Weird.

You can bet it is in the millions. Most of the wars and such in the Third World are fought over scarce resources, including food and water. Rwanda, the Congo, all the death squads and similar in South and Central America, and the list goes on and on…

And all the AIDs victims from our contraceptive bans, and all the starvation due to our replacement of subsistence farming with ‘money’ crops to satisfy the maw of the IMF and the World Bank, and more who died and are dying because of Monsanto’s GMO crops and poisons, and our withholding of lifesaving drugs for political purposes

Yeah, color me cynical but I don’t know that we can wake up a large section of our citizenry. It’s not that they’re stupid, it seems more that they figure they DID school and now they’re adults, no more learning, no more research.
An opinion is all that’s required. And of course that opinion will be the party brand given them at birth.

HUH!???

Is this parody (I hope)? I don’t get it at all1

Baw hah ah. Are these fake charges real (did some wignut actually make them). If so did they give a source.

The crime of the century, some lowlevel stooge or person at a country fair filled out fake names.

Hope they do a good job in the investigation and those people pay for their crime (would be quite a shock given the massive voter crimes over the last 8 years – but I guess the timing sounds about right).

I don’t think people are going to fall for Obama having to have a criminal plan for fake voters – pretty sure those numbers are high due to African Americans and young people.

Dear Nuckles,

Have you got the McCrap correct or what. One of the prime concepts that I’ve been pushing is to get the church out of bed with the government. These people are using their church base control the government. It is an unfair political advantage. If your going to be a church be a church. Spread your good word. If you want to be involved in politics form a pac and get involved but don’t base it on your church.

And by the way, Rush Slimeball needs more fixes.

Laugh now, but come next year, there won’t be any social programs. None. Read about what de Klerk did to Mandela as he handed over the reins of government. All the responsibility…none of the cash.

The very secretive IMF G7 Bush Ball is writing our demise, but don’t feel alone… France’s stellar socialism is going down, too. British healthcare, too. Canada might hold on, but there just may be no Social Security to “privatize” right here in the U.S. of A. after a trillion dollars gets stolen while we look helplessly on.

We inherit the debts of our oppressors. We can’t win.

Right on Thers for exposing the wingnuts and the way they are! I bet Gayle Quinnell (the woman who recently called Barack an Arab at a McCain KKK rally) is the online research extraordinaire for the wingnuts too:

After listening to her and then reading your post, it seems very likely she is the ‘go to girl’ for the ‘truth’ about Barack. Spit.
