On the Letterman joke, it’s a long way to the next cycle and plenty of time for the younger Palin to continue the family tradition of palling around with fornicators, contraception abstinence and unwed pregnancy.

“When it comes to ideology, 40 percent of Americans described themselves as conservative, 35 percent as moderate and 21 percent as liberal, according to a Gallup analysis of its 2009 polling. The percentage of conservatives has increased by 2 points since last year, while moderates have decreased by two points and liberals fell by 1 point”.

This is what FD does not understand. 75% of Americans describe themselves as Conservative or Moderate while 21% describe themselves as Liberal. This is why Obama’s election was such a triumph and this is why it can all be pulled away as fast as it was given. If that happens, FD and others like it will bear a great deal of the responsibility for helping to fracture the Democrats and weaken President Obama. This supplemental is a great example of that. Shame on you.

The audit by the Special Inspector General for Iraq Reconstruction and the State Department’s Inspector General said the firm didn’t employ enough guards, medics, marksmen and dog handlers to fully man the teams, which were responsible for protecting the U.S. ambassador to Iraq and other high-level officials.

The failure to consistently field the right numbers of guards endangered the U.S. officials whom the company was being paid to protect, the report concluded.

Yeah, where were the footmen assigned to carry the ambassador around in his sedan chair?

Hey, it was just so worth every penny spent to turn Iraq into a dangerous for Americans.

Much to your joy isn’t that right. Who needs video games when you can hate this country.

Off to swim in the great capitalist cesspool.

You’re very welcome, selise. The media seems to be in a state of denial that we’re history.
