Join us at the Seattle chapter of Drinking Liberally for an evening of politics under the influence. We begin at 8:00 pm at the Montlake Ale House, 2307 24th Avenue E. Some of us will show up early for Dinner.
Tonight’s theme song might just have to be a torturous number by the most recently declared presidential candidate:
For tonight’s activity, we’ll pass around and evaluate McCain’s recently announced health care plan:
If you find yourself in the Tri-Cities area this evening, check out McCranium for the local Drinking Liberally. Otherwise, check out the Drinking Liberally web site for dates and times of a chapter near you.

That Paris vid has been up on the LA Times site for a while now, and there are a lot of comments from people saying that after this they almost like her.

This would arouse most people but republicans are looking for gay sex in bathroom stalls so no sale. I do hear they are importing lots of gay prostitutes to meet the expected high demand in Minnesota for the upcoming “GOP” convention.

That mutt doofus gets it in the butt everytime he sniffs around the fire hydrant.
When he’s not practicing coprophagy that is.

That isn’t really Paris Hilton, or is it? I don’t pay enough attention to celebrities.
Roger Rabbit spews:
Roger Rabbit can’t attend DL tonight because he got run over by a skateboarder in the Green Lake hopping path and is in traction.
Roger Rabbit spews:
@5 Speak for yourself and leave our candidate out of it.

@7 “That mutt doofus gets it in the butt everytime he sniffs around the fire hydrant.”
By the fire hydrant, no less!! It’s funnier’n hell watching him back his ass up to that thing they turn with the hydrant wrench. It usually takes him 20 tries to line it up with his butthole.

These are the kind of people who vote “GOP.”

@8 Yep, Richard, that’s really her! Wikipedia says she released this “revenge ad” to get even with Sen. McThief for using her name and image without permission.
Jane Balough's Dog spews:
I guess you can call the McCain ads revenge for all the times you libs used our heroic soildiers (against their permission) in your dumbass war protests. There is more coming, so sit back and enjoy scumbags. hhehehe
Roger Rabbit spews:
@15 Speaking of “using” our soldiers, I’m sure they appreciate stop-loss, lengthened tours and shortened leaves, cuts in combat pay and veterans benefits, and having their votes blocked by the G.O.P./B.I.A.W. Party.
FricknFrack spews:
Yes Richard, definitely her and her little dog at the end.
This was hysterical and totally ‘hot’! Much needed at this point in all the endless mud wrestling. Loved when she did the head roll to show her profile when she ‘approved this message’.
Great find Darryl.
ByeByeGOP spews:
Now that we have more smoking gun news showing how the Bush regime flat out lied and even paid $5 million in taxpayer hush money to the former Iraq police chief, it’s time to get serious about impeachment. Bush is a common thug and crook like former President and staunch republican Trickie Dickie. Let’s lock these criminals up where they belong. Just don’t put republican senator Craig in jail – he’d have a field day sucking all that cock.
Roger Rabbit spews:
@17 It didn’t need much finding. It’s an internet sensation! It’s everywhere.

“Collecting Bird Dung Is Big Business
“By VICTORIA BEKIEMPIS, AP
“Isla de Asia, Peru (Aug. 5) – … Workers toiling 24 days a month loosen, scrape, sift, filter and bag bird dung to make some of the world’s finest organic fertilizer — known as guano. …
“Unfazed by the odor and grit, 100 to 150 men work 12-hour days that begin with breakfast at 3:30 a.m. Workers wear … ruddy dirt like uniforms as they hurl pickaxes into the soil and shovel raw dung, known as ‘guano bruto.’ …
“Then they sift it over metal mesh to extract the smaller particles that make the grade for fertilizer, which is then bagged and piled onto barges ….”

Journalist Charges CIA Planted Fake Evidence of Iraq – 9/11 Link
“White House Denies Faking Iraq Letter
“By BRETT J. BLACKLEDGE, AP
“WASHINGTON (Aug. 5) – Two former CIA officers Tuesday denied that they or the spy agency faked an Iraqi intelligence document purporting to link Saddam Hussein with 9/11 bomber Mohammed Atta ….
“The White House issued the statement on behalf of the former officials after a day of adamant denials from the CIA and Bush administration about the claim, made in ‘The Way of the World,’ a book by Washington-based journalist Ron Suskind. …
“Suskind claims the White House concocted the fake letter … in the fall of 2003 to bolster its case for the invasion … as it was becoming clear that there were no weapons of mass destruction to be found in Iraq. …
“The letter was provided to a British journalist by an Iraqi government official ….
“Suskind told The Associated Press that the criticisms from the White House and Tenet were expected. He said Tenet ‘is not credible on this issue’ and the White House ‘is all but obligated to deny this.'”
(Quoted under fair use.)
Roger Rabbit Commentary: Bush denied being arrested for DUI, too. Hell, he’d probably deny fucking Laura to get the monastery vote. Then he’d bomb the monastery.
Roger Rabbit spews:
Six Republican senators have decided they don’t want to be seen at the G.O.P. Party convention.
Ted Stevens, Gordon Smith, Elizabeth Dole, and Susan Collins — all of whom are facing tough re-elections — are putting distance between themselves and their own party’s big show. So are retiring senators Wayne Allard and Larry Craig.
Not only that, but Sen. Smith is airing ads touting his work with Sen. Obama on fuel efficiency standards. Last month, he ran an ad citing his work with Sen. Kerry on foreclosure relief legislation. It sure looks like he wants to confuse Oregon voters into thinking he’s the Democratic candidate.
Can’t say as I blame him. These days, admitting you’re a Republican is like saying you were Hitler’s chauffeur on your resume.

According to Business Week, the people who brought you the mortgage mess want regulators to let them run corporate pension funds.
Of course, the Busheviks will give this a green light because their mission is to dispossess the middle class.
Republicans won’t be satisfied as long as a single worker still owns a home, a car, or has health insurance or a pension.
The cheap labor conservatives want to reduce workers to dire poverty so they can treat them like slaves.

Shocker once again as always, Roger “shut-in” Rodent did not attend. With all that “supposed” money he makes in the stock market, one would assume the poor little pathetic asshole could afford high-speed internet and a cab-ride. :) How much are one-foot-in-the-grave pre-planned funeral plots these days?

RR @ 16: Yep, the Republicans are going to be in real trouble if they count on the military vote this year.
My son’s friend from middle school and high school called him last night. He’s been in the Marines for the past four years, supposed to be ending his enlistment in September. He’s been lucky, he’s in an administrative unit which hasn’t been sent to Iraq to date. He’s spent most of his enlistment in North Carolina. He and my son were talking about sharing an apartment together when he returned, he wanted to go to college using the benefits he had accumulated while in the service.
Anyway, he was supposed to go on leave in a week, to use up his unused leave time. As I understand it, he was to go on three weeks leave, report back for a week basically to undergo the separation physical exams and paperwork, then he was going to be discharged.
But the reason for his call was to let my son know that he shouldn’t be signing any apartment leases with him in mind as a roomate, at least not anytime soon. He was just informed that his leave had been cancelled, and he has been “stop-lossed”. Just five weeks shy of ending a four-year enlistment, almost all of it served in an administrative unit, he is being transferred to a combat unit which is scheduled for deployement to “somewhere in the Middle East” within the next three months. He is being told to plan on a deployment of anywhere from 12 to 15 months.
When he complained to his commander about not getting out on schedule (as is the right/habit of every soldier or Marine, no matter how ineffective it is deemed to be), he was simply reminded of the old saw that “every Marine is a Rifleman”, and we are a “nation at war”, and he should be embarrased that he hadn’t seen combat yet, anyway.
My son told me that based upon his comments in this phone call, he is pretty sure that this particular Marine will not be voting Republican anytime in HIS lifetime. This particular Marine is a patriotic American who voluntarily gave up four years of his life as service to his country, and was willing to go into combat during that tour of duty, if required to do so. But anytime after that he considers to be involuntary servitude, and there is no way he is going to reward the political party which is responsible for the mess (the Republicans) with his vote.

Mr. Cynical spews:
Daddy Love–
Here are a few facts for you to chew on:
Dino Rossi released the following statement today regarding the memo Governor Christine Gregoire sent to State Agency Directors, Boards and Commissions asking them to take steps to reduce state spending.
“I’m glad that Governor Gregoire has started to recognize the budget crisis she’s created. She had to know that by increasing spending 33 percent in her first term she was heading the state toward a budget deficit. Unfortunately, her announcement today does not go far enough.
“Dealing with the incumbent’s $2.7 billion budget deficit will require a lot of effort and belt tightening across state government. In the last four years the expansion of government has started at the top. As Governor, I will see to it that cutting waste starts at the top. I will reduce the size of the governor’s office budget, which has nearly doubled over the last four years.
“In addition to a hiring freeze, we should also freeze salary increases for politically appointed state employees. Further, Governor Gregoire should suspend salary negotiations with state employee groups over pay increases until we know the full extent of our deficit next year.
“Other governors around the country began tightening their state budgets months ago. In January, I called on the incumbent to use her supplemental budget to reduce rather than increase the total spending for the biennium. But instead, she passed a supplemental budget that increased spending by an additional $291 million.”
Daddy, no matter what facts Rossi uses to back up his criticism of Gregoire the Spending Maniac, it won’t be enough for you. You are a partisan hack. The question is how will the Voters Respond.
YLB spews:
LMAO @ Mr. C.
The voters can also see through the mean-spirited real estate hack and BIAW butt-boy that is Dino Rossi.
Everytime Rossi opens his mouth it’s just a cruel hard sell and people are tired of that.
Dream on Mr. C. and your cruel hopes will fade into irrelevancy as we’ve seen many times since Nov 2004.
Mr. Cynical spews:
YLB–
All you can counter the facts with is screaming profanity and innuendo.
It really doesn’t matter what you & I or Daddy Love think….it’s about how the voters feel about Gregoire increasing spending by $8 BILLION in the face of a recession.
It’s how voters feel about her lack of leadership and slow reaction to the huge upcoming deficit.
Her lack of a specific spending cut plan leads the average citizen to the only logical conclusion…Gregoire will raise taxes.
Good luck with that.

I heard that Cheney is possibly going to be “out of the country” during the Rep. Convention. Wonder if that’s McCain’s doing or Dick just doesn’t give a damn.
