Just 40% of Arizonans approve of the job McCain is doing for them in D.C., according to the poll.
Why that’s nearly as unpopular as Joe Lieberman. And this year McCain has an actual primary challenger, notorious crazy person J.D. Hayworth — who has the jowly-visage only a teabagger could love.
If John McCain ends up losing in 2010, there is one mavericky-lining for him. He will finally be available for those Sunday morning chat show appearances he always has to cancel…or maybe he can make viral-videos?

Hey! Hilarious! That’s Doctor Spincter!

The Highway to the Danger Zone will miss ol’ Maverick McSaim.
Good morning.
yo
Good morning!
: )
Toooo early. But it always is. Good morning.
Highway to the Danger Zone definately helps!
Mavericky!
It’s 16 degrees outside & windy. Brrrrr.
Good Morning. I can’t get back to sleep. Rats. I’m trying some warm milk.
Hi eCAHN
It’s not that cold here by far, but still was too cold and breezy to work in my yard yesterday. I’ll try again today.
What’s up?
-1 here, wicked wicked.
Hi demi. Woke up an hour earlier than usual. Hope that warm milk works to put you back to sleep. I decided to get up, as going back to sleep didn’t seem to be working.
Having a dinner party tomorrow. Today I’m making chocolate mint shortbread cookies for after dinner.
Oy. Where are you?
Low 30′s with ice here in N.TX. Feeding the feral cat on the porch.
McAyn will be all puffed up and red in the face if he loses, I betcha. Such a trustworthy figure.
And just to stay on topic, John McCain is a nasty old man.
We have another 8 months to watch him get angrier & angrier. Joy.
Those look like they would ship really well.
:-)
40 in Athens but the paper says it MAY sleet tonight! These goobers are hilarious. Speaking of Georgia, Obama really gave us the shaft on high-speed rail. Can you hear them now Saxby, Gingery and Braun!!!!
Great cookies, but what’s the main course?
Yep, John is nasty. Why does he have a problem with the new prez blaming the old prez? Congress still sucks, btw.
Keep that drool under control. I’ve not made them before. If I have any leftovers, I’ll email them. *g*
Minnesota, lol. Seems to get colder every year.
High speed rail? From where to where? What happened?
Global warming’s never around when you need it.
But, it looks like we’ll have a good one in California. The drive now between LA and SD is really awful. That train will be really nice.

No Lie!
: )
Carrot dill soup to start, made & in the freezer. Roast organic filet mignon with bernaise sauce, potatoes with rosemary, green Swiss chard, beet puree, coconut cake for dessert.
What a gal!
I guess my invite got lost in the mail, huh? *g*
Thanks.
A coast-to-coast high speed freight line would be a real green poject, but I suppose the truck lobbey & union would nix it.
The state has had money for years that went unspent. There is no state support for Marta, the Atlanta rail system. Combine that with these moron republicans that we have and I think the administration just said,”how ya like me now”? They gave Georgia $750,000!
You didn’t get it?
Maybe the dog ate it. I swear though, if I ever get to NY, I’m gonna look you up.
Wow. $750,000. That ought to be enough to pay for 1/2 a rail car. I rode Marta once from the AP to downtown.
New dog or old dog?
Sounds like an intelligent guy, that Doss. /s
Perhaps they shared.
Gonna go try to sleep again, some more. See yas.
Yea, it’s ok but the white suburbs didn’t want it bringing, um “certain people” (wink wink) out to their hoods so it basically stops at 285.
The entire state is run by people like that. Dumb ass honkies.
Expect more crazy from John Attaturk a primary challenge from the right means McCain can try and out crazy a Tea Bagger probably by going Racist.
Or John could appeal to all those Moderate Voters the GOP has spent so much time wooing/s
That’s unfortunate. I suppose the white voters think it’s fine.
Hell yes! Except here in the people’s republic of Athens, of course!
Gonna finish reading my whodunit.
Ha. You’re right, that should be quite a looneytunes spectacular. So glad I don’t have a tv. Sleep well, demi.
Rails boost real estate values the difference between the burbs and the sticks rail and highways going to the city.
Yes crime comes with Dark People but so does interesting food, Night life etc.
The town of Harvard at the end of the rail tried to build housing only for Motorola Execs when they got the new Motorola plant.
They built no housing for the workers they didn’t want Dark heck they didn’t want Motorola workers and they make good money.
High end houses were built but the Execs didn’t want to live there Execs like Chinese food takeout, Arab restaurants, Mexican food they like Night Clubs not neighborhood bars.
Live video: Tony Blair at the Iraq war inquiry
Live video stream of Tony Blair’s evidence to the Iraq war inquiry, chaired by Sir John Chilcott
Waiting for the explosion, really. so much anger, and no red button to push.
What are the chances that McCain will lose in a primary and that a Democrat can pick up the seat?
Good morning, pups. It’s Brooks, Cohen and Krugman today. Bobo wants us to consider “The Perot Option.” He says that advisers to the president should remind him that though he may not be a billionaire with a huge ego, he has self-esteem — and should use it. Mr. Cohen is home from China. In “Exit China”he says the rise of China appears to be unstoppable, but let’s try imagining a world in which Beijing no longer freeloads on a declining United States. Prof. Krugman, in “March of the Peacocks,” says our budget problems won’t be solved with gimmicks like a temporary freeze in nondefense discretionary spending.
Here they are.
The coffee, tea and hot chocolate are ready, and I’ve got waffles with warm maple syrup for breakfast. The newest kitteh, a charming little white and gray tabby who goes by the name of Cute Stuff, is scolding me because he’s hungry. Poor thing, he’s going to stay hungry until he gets to meet nice Dr. Pam and she snips his power balls off later this morning… Have a great day.
My uncle road the Northwestern from West Chicago into the city every day for 40 years. I took it in to go to the induction station in 66!
Skritches to CuteStuff, soon to be relieved of lots of troubles he didn’t need. good Dr. Pam.
Thanks for facing the idiocy for us, tho Krugman usually is worth the read anyway.
I wonder if McCain will make his Gay Supporting Daughter Disappear until after the election.?
If McCain tries to out crazy his Primary Challenger McCain’s stand on not changing Don’t ask Don’t tell which Obama wants to change becomes an issue. McCain’s Daughter’s position then becomes an issue.
To us its no big deal, in the general election its a small deal but in a GOP primary this could hurt McCain.
Maybe some of the Pols in your state should read a study or two about rail lines and higher real estate values?
We need Obama to rally our base and push his getting rid of Don’t ask Don’t tell. We need an energized Dem base.
TONY BLAIR having done what we’ll never see done with Bush or Cheney — having to testify.
You can follow it here.
Tony seems to be saying Saddam would not comply fully. However how do you prove a negative Saddam had no WMD. Tony seems to think Saddam could have provided paper work to prove he destroyed the WMD however would he have been believed.
Interviews would not have been believed either after all Saddam held their families as hostage to say what ever he wanted them to say.
Tony seems to be saying Saddam wanted to retain the intent the people the dual use factories. However Tony we don’t ban murders from using steak knife’s at dinner because they might intend to do it again.
Might is not a cause for action. actual crimes are.
as if
Tony is using the Saddam could kill peoples families if they talk defense? What was the Name of that British Guy who mysteriously died after questioning the war?
Tony is really on thin ice.
In Illinois money usually trumps race can Georgia keep affording to be more racist than Illinois? Which to be truthful is not a beacon of Progress.
Tony’s wife is an International Human Rights lawyer either there is allot of Denial or there is a Divorce coming soon.
The Quinn piece is amazing….Good Morning…It is ugly, wet, and cold
outside my door. Back to bed?
Yes, and to prove just how hate-filled we are, we elected Barack Obama to the Senate and launched him to the Presidency.
Save that bullshit, I’m from Chicago. Or maybe if Dr King was here you’d jump up and say “you lie”!
I haven’t heard how the hearings about the Iraq invasion are going in America. was there a special commission, a House panel, a Senate Panel? Maybe they are too busy investigating the torture issue.
Hell, in Boston we had Louise Day Hicks the leader of the anti-busing group and City Councillor and that was some serious hate, made the Chicagoans look like pikers. A sorry chapter in Mass. history.
My point is that racism knows no geographical limits. . . but you knew that.
I’m from Chicago as well, so perhaps you should get out more.
I did get out and what I learned was the idea of pegging racism on the south was bullshit.
Chicago is complicated. King’s comments about Bridgeport (a Chicago neighborhood, home of the Daley clan and a bastion of racial hatred) were correct — then. Bridgeport has changed. So have many of us, Republicans excepted.
Hell, even the Rs here in Florida figured it out long enough to get some of the money down here (though Crist managed to avoid giving Obama a hug when he met the plane at MacDill yesterday)
And if you were following this conversation you would know that my point is that Georgia has changed too, but it has plenty of racism and you are trying to tell me that is not the case in Illinois? Uh huh.
Way back when one of the (not-so) jokes was that the stereotype small town southern guy would say that [blacks] as a race aren’t worth much but I know this guy over here and he’s good people.
The northern city guy would say that [blacks] as a race are fine and dandy (but don’t let ‘em move next door to me)
Isn’t it about bloody time that we grew up or is that too much to hope for. I am convinced that the “powers that be” want there to be racial, or any other, disharmony, divide and conquer is their mantra.
same as it ever was
I’m probably one of the few that remembers Rich Kronfeld from “Let’s Bowl”
John McCain has been a sanctimonious dinkweed for a long time now.
-G
I’m from the Illinois burbs where many of those folks who threw rocks at Dr King moved to escape having to send their kids to school with African Americans trust me Illinois still has a bunch of work to do.
Its better than it was but its not exactly a safe place.
McSame is an accident waiting to happen. It is amazing how this screwup has managed to reach the Senate. Well, maybe not. He’s an opportunist if nothing else. Thanks Cindy. You enabled a lying weasal when you married it. McSame will go alobbying if he gets beat. Still, it’s better than having him in Congress.
