If ANYONE is is talks with Lindsey Graham about ANYTHING, it’s dangerous to the health and well being of everyone on this board.

SENATOR GRAHAM CALLS FOR ACTION AGAINST AMERICANS WHO DISAGREE WITH BUSH

NAT PARRY, CONSORTIUM NEWS – Sen. Lindsey Graham suggested to Attorney General Alberto Gonzales a new target for the administration’s domestic operations — Fifth Columnists, supposedly disloyal Americans who sympathize and collaborate with the enemy. “The administration has not only the right, but the duty, in my opinion, to pursue Fifth Column movements,” Graham, R-S.C., told Gonzales during Senate Judiciary Committee hearings on Feb. 6.

“I stand by this President’s ability, inherent to being Commander in Chief, to find out about Fifth Column movements, and I don’t think you need a warrant to do that,” Graham added, volunteering to work with the administration to draft guidelines for how best to neutralize this alleged threat. “Senator,” a smiling Gonzales responded, “the President already said we’d be happy to listen to your ideas.”

The governor, a rising Republican star, questioned why “something called ‘volcano monitoring’ “ was included in the nearly $800 billion economic stimulus bill Obama signed earlier this month.

Something called “volcano monitoring”. Gotta watch these DC bureaucrats giving fancy names to stuff to make them sound useful. Like “volcano monitoring”. Don’t be fooled. If you dig a little bit and find out the real truth (as opposed to the false truth) you’ll learn that what this thing they call “volcano monitoring” really means is… um… monitoring volcanoes. Who needs that?

Prior to serving in Congress, Hensarling was State Director for Texas Senator Phil Gramm from 1985 until 1989. From 1991 to 1993, he served as executive director of the Republican Senatorial Committee. -wiki

Is it me or is Ass Limbo of right wing radio fame sounding more and more drug induced as the days go by? I’m serious. I don’t think he’s snorting Oxy anymore. He’s moved on to better drugs to try to erase the 8 years of George Bush out of his mind, as well as, how dreadful the republic party really is today! Poor widdle Limbo. He can’t understand why no one listens to him when he says, “Jindal is gawd! He’s perfect! Please be loyal to him!”. Bah hahahahahahahaha! I’m loooooooooooooooooooooving it. Ass Limbo, the Leader of the American Taliban, has been cut off at the neck and no one can hear him or wants to listen to him.

Great week so far!

Okay, going to work with the rest of the schmucks of America. ;-)

Elliott: (reply button not working)
Hensarling claimed that the cost for congress is going up 11% and failed to mention that the reason was that the rethugs are insisting on maintaining the same overall staffing level despite loosing 20% of their seats.

Rush Limbaugh To Hold Forum On Why Chicks Hate Him
Puffy misogynistic pole-smoker Rush Limbaugh has come upon a brilliant plan. He is going to hold a summit to court all the hairy “feminazis” and “hoes” in the world to come and tell them why ladiez don’t love him as much as guys do. (Hint: It’s probably because they’re not smart enough to “get” him, am I right fellas??)

The Chevrolet Camaro is finally back in production. If the eco-fascists order its death by a thousand cuts because it doesn’t get a bazillion miles per gallon and it doesn’t run on unicorn farts, I’ll be on the sideline, rooting for GM to die as I ride in my made-in-Nippon Nissan 370Z.

wow! but.. isn’t that just the sort of socialist style iron rice welfare that should cause Graham and Sessions to go into allergic shock? To keep jobs around when they are no longer needed. It sounds to me we need some serious free enterprise action in congress… his rethug staffers are behaving like, bah humbug, un**nized workers, in a UNION! ;-P.
