LOL!!!

no chit!

complete disaster monkeys, each and every one.
it’s amazing any of them are still ALIVE with buses and trains and such running on the streets of America.

asshats!

You seriously had me literally laughing out loud with this. Thank you!

This is most worthy of a scintillating conversation consisting of great wit and snark, unfortunately, I am not worthy and am most tired and ready to lay down my sleepy head. Best wishes.

Me, too! The last two sentences deserve an award of some sort.

Come to think of it Dub does wear a helmet quite often…

Mornin’, bb & any other pups awake at this hour -

May be safety helmets should be required accessories for every person in this country with an “R” behind their name….that way, all the rest of us could “anticipate” what they are and run in the other direction.

Nancy Reagan was right. We need a national soothsayer.

Vice President Dick Cheney says that his boss, President George W. Bush, has no need to apologize to the American people for not doing more to head off the financial calamity, saying no one saw the crisis coming.

No that is the excuse the Bushies use for 9/11, WMD, the economy everything.
Lets face it no one brings Bush bad news. Everything is always sunny and going as planned until it doesn’t.
You can plan for failure if you won’t admit the possibility. I think the Bushies are guilty of listening to one to many Power of Positive Thinking Books on Tape while jogging with Bush.

I don’t know how they are able to go about in their day-to-day lives without safety helmets on.

“Heckuva Job” replies:

Brown said he took a “go kit” stuffed with medication and cash…

Another edition of Simple Answers to Simple Questions.

Nobody ever anticipates anything in that crew. I don’t know how they are able to go about in their day-to-day lives without safety helmets on.

Well maybe if Bush read al Quieda briefings before 9/11 like he was suppose to instead of exercising every day and going to bed at the same time hemight have been prepared.
Bush is the first president where the Routine was more important than the power.
Also Maybe Bush could have saved the economy if he was not reading over 100 books with Karl? (no I don’t believe he can read)
Maybe The reason why America has not been attacked by Ossama is because Iraq is so much closer? Bush is responsible for Ossama being alive though.

The question is, what was the medication that allowed them to be them?

1,882 DAYZ AND THE KILLIN GOEZ ON AND ON AND…

Citizen Attaturk and the Firepup Freedom Fighters:

“I don’t know how they are able to go about their day-to-day lives without safety helmets on.”

Sorry but it’s far too late for safety helmets…I jest wish they’d entertain the percentages that most severely stupid folks endure and get run over in traffic.

KEEP THE FAITH AND PASS THE AMMUNITION, WE GOTTA HELP THE LAW OF AVERAGES A BIT HERE!!

I think whatever medication it turns out that the Bush administration was taking/on, allowed George W. Bush to believe that he actually read any books! Psychedelic man….

The Darwin Awards would bear this out….

SHOCK DOCTRINE…they anticipate,and are ready to screw the ever loving shiiiit out of the American taxpayer,when the poop hits the fan…money to be made out of war and disaster…the most evil PROFIT from War,Death,and disaster…Dante is listening

how are you,long time ,no see

For example, Michael “Heckuva Job” Brown, the man infamous for his lack of preparedness for major disasters just had to flee his Colorado mountain lair home as wildfires closed in, after being so instructed by police officers.

Well, I’m sure that all of this is working out very well for him.

Ouch! *g*

The question is who would have been ready for this post at 3:30 AM, HIllary, BO?

Shrub’s been almost taken out by a Huffy, a Hush Puppy, one of those things in the picture…whatever the hell they’re called, and a Rold Gold:
http://newsimg.bbc.co.uk/media…..h203ap.jpg

What a freakin embarrassment to America and humankind in general.

And Cheney shoots a friend in the face?!? Literally the gang who couldn’t shoot straight, and I’m not even talking about Jeff Gannon/Guckert yet.

Like I said above, prime candidates for the Darwin Awards.

And Condi sits in the UN explaining why we abstained from a cease fire and protecting and enabling humanitarian aid after 14 days of the Gaza horror. So there is no learning capacity with this crew. Setting us up, the neocons and their minions, for the slippery slope of war with Iran? Is this their typical lose/lose gamesmanship. Israel self destructs for the long run, taking us with her?

News that condi may have found interesting if she was interested.

PNN – The United Nations said Friday that the number of Palestinians killed in the Gaza Strip reached 799 after the bodies of 50 children were found buried under the rubble.
Witnesses report that during last weekend the Israeli military bombed a house in Gaza where soldiers had rounded up 110 Palestinians, killing 30 people. At least 50 bodies were found, along with children, under the rubble.

Vice President Dick Cheney says that his boss, President George W. Bush, has no need to apologize to the American people for not doing more to head off the financial calamity, saying no one saw the crisis coming.

If this administration “couldn’t see this coming” when there were warning flags all over the place, then they shouldn’t have been in the positions of power they were in…

…interpreting warning signs is a characteristic of leaders…who then act on the information to prevent a disaster or at least soften the blow.

Bush/Cheney did neither.

then they shouldn’t have been in the positions of power they were in…

But the SCOTUS knows better than the voters don’t cha know?

Good morning, pups. It’s Bobo and Krugman this morning. Bobo’s nattering above his pay grade again. Both are addressing the stimulus package — who do you take more seriously? Bobo, in “The Confidence Surplus,” says since there is no historical experience to tell us how a stimulus package should work, economists’ prescriptions are all over the map. The problem is overload. Right, Bobo… Nobel Prize winning economist (see, Bobo, this is what it looks like when you’re not nattering above your pay grade) addresses “The Obama Gap.” He says President-elect Barack Obama explained why the nation needs aggressive action to deal with the economic crisis, and he’s right. But his economic plan falls well short of what’s needed.

Here they are.

The coffee, tea and hot chocolate are ready, and I’ve got French toast with cinnamon and warm Vermont maple syrup. I’m looking forward to the big boss doc taking 2 weeks off starting next week — maybe I’ll be able to clean my desk! (I try to do that at least once a year, whether it needs it or not… /snark) Have a great day.

Hey, twin -

Long time no see; how ya been doin’?

He says President-elect Barack Obama explained why the nation needs aggressive action to deal with the economic crisis, and he’s right. But his economic plan falls well short of what’s needed.

What we need is a program that is “too big to fail”. I was not at all reassured by the Boom Boom’s speech yesterday, I had the impression that he knew he was bullshitting.

And as for the silliness of keeping the bushie cuts in place and/or giving more tax breaks to the rich well I do despair….. not that I had any great hopes for Boom Boom anyway.

Looks like Brooks should read Krugman, dontcha think? The Brownie quote is too good. That is our Emergency Manager saying we never think these things can happen….so he had to think about his dinner shirt while New Orleans drowned.

Of course, what he meant is that we do not think these things can happen to US because we are so well protected, and because we do not care (so we don’t pay attention) that these things may happen to other people. He still makes me gag; Heckava Job Brownie, you are still saying very bizarre, thoughtless things. Tell it to N.O.; they had warnings for years, then more urgently. Yep, you NEVER think. How sad. No, tragic.

“Who could have anticipated”
the four words that sum up the Bush years.

morning.

Looks like Brooks should read Krugman, dontcha think?

he’s a “writer”.

nothing in his job description about reading or anything….

I wonder if any big MSM media will cover this?

9:00 Throw to House

So finally we get somebody from CAP on and C-Span’s got to *fair and balance* him with a thug from heritage……GAK!

The rich live in a bubble and live off of economic bubbles. What they need is a real does of the “street”. I think they all need to be run out of town and even tarred and feathered.

This is the perhaps the final battle in the class struggle in the “free market” capitalist class war on the workers. Capitalists overplayed their hand and the amo is spent. It’s only a matter of time before the entire thing collapses regardless if the gov gives them all sorts of “play money” to jump start their ponzi schemes.

Suits have to accept the fact that bubble based reality does not work and their raison d’etre is bubble creation and deal making. When you make money out of thin air and then vacuum it all up and stick it in your swiss vaults, you kill the goose that laid the golden egg.

The worst is yet to come.

Good Morning! Sarah’s was the topic on the Today Show. They showed the tape where she is talking about class warfare. What I find interesting is that she thinks that Caroline Kennedy is being treated with kid gloves. Obviously she does not read the NYTimes or any of the other NY papers because she would not he make that statement. I’m looking forward to 2012 when Joe the non-plumber and make believe war correspondent is campaigning with Sarah.

Gee, I need coffee so that, you know, use so many that’s

I wonder if Joe/Plumber has sent Obama a thank you note for advancing his career. What strange karma.

Obama might talk with Hamas.
http://thinkprogress.org/2009/…..-to-hamas/
That would be a welcome change.

Excellent post. I love starting the day with a laugh.

Somehow, his fear of Obama’s taxes doesn’t seem to discourage his efforts to increase his income.

Oy, Obamas keeping W WH chef.

As I recall, he doesn’t take taxes very seriously ….as in not always paying. What me worry?

Is that a bad thing and why?

Yet, that was the whole reason he let Obama interrupt his playing catch with his son, so he could question Obama about the effect of his tax plan on plumber’s helpers who plan to own the company in a year or two.

On WJ the host said that “some foodies were hoping for a change.” So there’s that. And you know that W likes simple junky food like burgers. So how good can the chef be?

From a long-gone thread……remember the discussion about roofs? Crossed paths recently with the name of the stuff about which we were talking: “Weatherwatch” underlayment – ‘least that was the name of the one my roofer used.

Ha Ha.
You know we humans resist change. I haven’t followed W’s preferred eating habits, only remember about McCain’s love of bar-b-que. (Did we ever snark on that? Que the Barbie?)
Hey, the Obamas can have anyone they want cook their food, I guess.
Are they going to keep Laura’s china too?

The change some of us “foodies” are hoping for is a publicizing of the “eat local” movement……and a veggie garden on the WH lawn wouldn’t go amiss as well. :-)

http://www.whitehouse.gov/gove…..b-bio.html

I’m just not going to get outraged over that one.

Haven’t heard about the china. Not every prez has his own china. IIRC, that’s why the Nancy Reagan thing blew up.

You can buy reproductions. I have Lincoln’s dinner plates, and Jefferson’s for dessert and coffee.

Heh. He attended the CIA, which is just across the Hudson from my country house. Lots of CIA graduates running restaurants in the area. Mixed reviews: some good, some not so much. No, not that CIA, but the Culinary Institute of America.

Just some early morning gossip.

I’m going to go look for a china link and I’ll see you upstairs.

Being an old builder we use Grace, as in WR Grace, Ice shield

Last restaurant I ate at with CIA chef was definitely on the “local” and “seasonal” train. So I suspect CIA is fully on board now. But probably not so much when the current WH chef graduated, which was before the movement got going.

Yep: Seems like he may have wanted to stay out of the camera’s eye, But Noooo. Today’s news how screwed the bailout is without reports back, not much information about how the money is being used/or working.

And Sarah looks like she is still wearing a camapaigne jacket while she complains about the press.

The gossip was about Laura spending a small fortune on china she will not be using….gotta leave her mark.

Personally, I don’t want to eat on a plate with a big magnolia flower on it. (now aren’t I tacky)

No, it looked tacky and “busy”

I think we should line up a FEMA trailer for Brownie to live in while he waits interminably for the other ’support.’

oops, wrong chef. here’s the correct chef in question: Cristeta Comerford

Waccamaw…sorry I missed you… I didn’t know you were still around and I had to dash. I am doing fine. Will catch you soon I hope. :) Hang in there.
