WASHINGTON RESTAURANT ASSOCIATION BACKS AMNESTY FOR ILLEGAL IMMIGRANTS. SAYS IT CANNOT DO BUSINESS WITHOUT ILLEGALS. ADMITS BEHIND-THE-SCENES LOBBYING ON BEHALF OF AMNESTY.
On the record on KCTS
Lee-
You are really the most thorough and conscientious poster around, and that post is not only a complete de-bunking but really entertaining.
Great job!
@3
Glad you enjoyed it, sir. Have a good weekend.
Gotta hand it to gya, Lee. Great Stuff!
This is a unique approach to handling a troll. It could actually become a series of series.
Thanks, Lee. Maybe this will help with some of the stamnering and mumbling from the LA Trollers Assoc.
HUGE NEWS
Warner is stepping down from the Senate.
http://www.breitbart.com/artic....._article=1
This makes VA prime territory for a dem AND, if Obama is the candidate the synergism is clear.
Between Warner and Craig, one wonders if there is not a Tsunami gathering?
@2: For every ‘illegal’ immigrant with a job in this country, there is an employer breaking the law.
Why do these employers hate our country?
@8
A lot of Republicans are jumping ship right now. The tsunami started in 2006 and is just still rising. The next 14 months are going to be very interesting.
Fascinating.
I wonder who is next.
This confirms my belief that Obama is a bigger threat than HRC. An Obama/Warner ticket in Virginia might be indomitable.
Of course Warner is an old man. That may be why he is resigning BUT he does not seem to have groomed a successor and the presence of James Webb in the Jr. chair from VA can’t help the Publicans.
If I had a voice in WA state Publican campaign, I would somehow get John McKay on the ticket and have Schwarznegger’s support for the new GOP.
BTW, you might look at my post over at SJ on the new ? G-phone. That is also exciting. If true it could revolutionize the business you are in. Imagine anytime anywhere access for free?
Lee,
Marvin is now in a corner, fetal position, thumb in mouth. He has nothing left to say. He knows you just made him famous, but like Minnow before him, he does not like the how and why.
Great job!
How Stupid Is Marvin Stamn?
This stupid:
“Marvin is actually not from this area (he’s from Los Angeles, apparently). Why he comments at a blog that’s geared towards Washington State politics, I don’t know. But with the recent success of Congressional candidate Darcy Burner’s fundraiser, Marvin thought he’d get in on the act. He was curious why he didn’t see some of our names in the ActBlue page:
“‘Perusing through the list washington state was less than half the donations (didn’t check every name on every page so my initial estimate could be off) Didn’t find a david goldstein, lee, rogerrabbit or seattlejew listed. I’m guessing their contributions would be under the actblue webpage – http://www.actblue.com/entity/ fundraisers/8619′
“I made a largely unsuccessful attempt to explain to Marvin that ‘rogerrabbit’ and ‘seattlejew’ are actually web pseudonyms, and not their real names, while someone else pointed out that he linked to the ActBlue page from the 2006 election. He replied:
“‘If these aren’t for 2008, why do they say 2008? …
“‘Darcy Burner Election: WA-08
“‘http://www.actblue.com/entity/ fundraisers/8619′
“Evidently, our genius friend thought that the ’08’ was the year of the election and not an indication that Darcy Burner is running for the 8th Congressional District.”
(From Lee’s link)
HAR HAR HAR HAR HAR …*
* There are too many HARs to reproduce them all here.
Los Angeles, eh? My guess is Marvin is a college student and blogging on HA is a part-time job. He’s probably paid by the College Republicans with the money they got by defrauding senior citizens. They’re probably not paying him very much, because you generally get what you pay for, and they’re not getting very much. We can only hope that Marvin is still in his probationary employment period so the UCLA College Republicans don’t get permanently stuck with this dumbshit.
Now I have to go to the veterinarian to get my ribs splinted! I cracked them from laughing so hard.
Marvin, a personal note:
Like you I live in Southern California. Unlike you I was an active “member” of this blog while I lived in Seattle (having moved about a year ago).
If you would like to meet and discuss politics, the Dodgers, the Mariners or whatever, let me know. I am always interested in meeting those with opposing views.
FurBall,
Here are two bunches of virtual carrots for making me laugh.
Enjoy!!
@13
I knew you’d like that. As I’ve said before, if Marvin is being paid to write these comments, it’s the most concrete proof we’ve ever encountered that the free market can be flawed.
@13 RR
Maybe we need to create some HA traditions.
I like the idea of HA awarding horse turds and bunny droppings as needed.
@2 “WASHINGTON RESTAURANT ASSOCIATION BACKS AMNESTY FOR ILLEGAL IMMIGRANTS. SAYS IT CANNOT DO BUSINESS WITHOUT ILLEGALS. ADMITS BEHIND-THE-SCENES LOBBYING ON BEHALF OF AMNESTY.”
Yeah, it can be tough to hire American citizens when you don’t want to pay American wages.
Actually, I see an upside to restaurants hiring illegals. They can post comments about Stefan’s kid’s behavior on ethnic blogs in their native language, and chances are, they won’t lose their jobs. Does anyone know what languages Mr. and Mrs. Sharansky are fluent in, besides pidgeon wingnut?
@8 Democrats need only half of the 22 GOP senate seats up for grabs in ’08 for a filibuster-proof majority.
@20 I can see it now … Supreme Court Justice Roger Rabbit … what a fitting finale to an already long and illustrious legal career.
@21 Don’t worry, righties, I’m against rabbit abortions! The more rabbits, the better! We have no rabbits to spare! As long as there remains a single unfilled ecological niche, we need MORE RABBITS! After humans die off, rabbits will be the dominant species, and I’ll be their king.

Librul MSM Bias continues!
Maybe Baby Rabbit Stew?
@24
Why don’t we start with the second paragraph in the article, dumbfuck:
Network news executives rejected any suggestion of bias, and said they have a considerably harder time getting Republican candidates to appear on their shows.
Do you think that’s a lie?
@16 Lee, I honored you by posting a comment on your blog. That’s a first, because I’ve NEVER done that before — I don’t post on other blogs. I simply don’t. It’s like getting the Presidential Medal of Freedom.
Adios, everyone!
@24 “Explain this one away”
“NEW YORK — A conservative media watchdog organization charged Wednesday that the network morning news shows have spent considerably more time this year on Democrats running for president than on Republicans. …
“‘The double standard has got to stop,’ said L. Brent Bozell, the group’s founder. ‘What you hope is that there would be fairness. If you are going to give that much coverage to the Democrats, give it to the Republicans, too.'”

One Less GOP Senator, Only 48 More To Go
http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/20467347/
In other news, ex-prosecutor Mike Nifong was held in contempt for lying to the judge in the Duke rape case and sentenced to 1 day in jail. To put the seriousness of Nifong’s offense into perspective, he will serve more time than Scooter Libby did for committing treason. That’s pretty damned serious! Nifong also was forced to resign from office, was disbarred, and is being sued by the indivdiuals he wrongfully prosecuted and defamed.
A comment I posted yesterday suggesting that Bush fired Karl Rove met with skepticism, but I may get the last laugh:
“As key members of Bush’s inner circle file out, a former White House official suggests Democratic pressure may have helped hasten the departure of Karl Rove.
“Web exclusive
“By Richard Wolffe
“Newsweek
“Aug. 31, 2007 – … When it was first announced earlier this month, the exit of Bush’s architect was explained as the result of his desire to spend more time with his family. In fact, some of Rove’s friends suggest … [h]is decision to leave was shaped far more by Democratic pressure than Rove or Bush would ever acknowledge in public.” http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/20...../newsweek/
Hey Puddingbrain…
IT’S BECAUSE THEY’RE ALL DUMB FUCKS…AND NOBODY GIVES A FLYING FUCK ABOUT CORRUPT HYPOCRITICAL REPUBLICANS.
#24: It’s interesting that the “conservative media watchdog organization” chose to study AM news for bias. Even if the morning news were 100% about Democratic candidates, more often than not, the stations follow their 2 hours of “liberal” morning news with 22 hours of conservative talk. It’s odd that these groups would bite the hand that feeds this way.
BTW, on the topic of liberals on AM, the survival of Goldy’s show on KIRO disproves the conventional wisdom that AM radio is exclusively the province of “small ‘l’ libertarians” and the tinfoil loincloth crowd. Conservatives snicker at the failure of Air America, but there may be a large untapped market for liberals on AM if only the programming were right.
Howsabout getting the Dracy fund graphic redrawn to extend past 100%
Damn, I feel so honored. People that have nothing good to say about me, badmouth me, insist I’m a moron, avoid all my posts that point out the truth about democrats, threaten me with violence, post message after message I’m a sockpuppet of bill someone, take comments out of context and then go and post blog articles about me.

It might not be as fun discussing politics with me in person, if you’ve read my posts, I don’t support the publicans, nor the democrats. So your hate bush rhetoric won’t be challenged. Would you have anything else to say?

Since you live in los angeles… how do you feel about clinton having mayor viagra-gosa working on clinton’s national campaign. Isn’t it rather strange that both the la mayor and san fran mayor have had infidelity issues and clinton is keeping them around? Abused woman syndrome?
Oh yeah, if we do meet you have to promise not to tell the sheeple on this board the truth about me. I have fun reading the words of people getting their panties in a bunch, the truth would hurt my troll reputation.
marvin_stamn@hotmail.com
Jesus, you just don’t get it.
Nobody here gives a gives a shit about your boring analysis of what’s wrong and rotten about us. You want to harp about your brilliant observations wherein you can prove that Republicans are in every way superior to us slime, and lead us to the salvation that only your incisive wit can provide. You want to pontificate to a bunch of Seattle commenters from your perch in Los Angeles, and harass us for the philistines you know us to be.
If you expect welcome for coming in and shitting on the furniture, find a different reality.
Meanwhile, either find something intelligent to say, or fuck off, or expect similar responses. Shriek all you want about name calling, jerk, you deserve every inch of it.

Yet another example of liberal bias –
Mayor of one of the most gay-friendly cities in America, Naugle touched off a ferocious dispute in July, when the Sun-Sentinel published his comments that the city has a problem with gay men cruising public restrooms for sex. He was quoted as saying, “I don’t use the word gay. I use the word homosexual. Most of them aren’t gay. They’re unhappy.”
Naugle’s comments didn’t start as a campaign; he was opining about a one-stall, super-toilet requested by the beach community because the oceanfront lacks public restrooms. Naugle liked the $250,000 self-cleaning robo-toilet, in part because he said it would deter the “homosexual activity” a traditional bathroom attracts.

Marvs words – once again in the proud liberal tradition, political affiliation is omitted from the article. Meaning only one thing, he’s a democrat.
@36 “Conservatives snicker at the failure of Air America”
What do you mean, “failure?” Last time I tuned to AM 1090, Air America was still on the air.
Do I care whether AA makes money? Or who owns it? Or whether it’s subsidized by rich guys? No. Why should I? Nearly all rightwing propaganda is subsidized by rich guys, so what’s wrong with subsidizing liberal programming?
We know Washington Times loses $50 million a year and is supported by Sun Myung Moon’s criminal enterprises. We don’t know if Fox News makes money, but I’d bet dollars-for-donuts that it’s subsidized by Fox Network’s entertainment programming if not by News Corp. The Scaife, Bradley, and other troglodyte foundations plus large donors pour billions into financing rightwing propaganda.
For that matter, I can’t imagine Ann Coulter’s books and public appearances being moneymakers without subsidies from somewhere or other. We all know how “bestsellers” can be (and are) created — you print a jillion books and a sugar daddy buys three-fourths of them to pump up the sales figures, which go straight to the paper recycling shredder, unread. The rest of them are used as door stops. Or maybe some people buy Coulter’s books to display on the coffee table when the boss comes over for dinner and daddy is angling for a promotion. I once saw a guy use a Coulter book as a cutting board to cut fish heads off on. Okay, I made that up, but I’ll bet someone has used a Coulter book for that. That’s what I would use her books for, if someone gave me one.
@38 “my posts that point out the truth about democrats”
Anytime a wingnut starts bandying the term “truth” — look out!!! It’s like kids playing with gasoline.
@40 “Marvin Stamn says: … Let’s not forget, another proud democrat. I’m seeing a trend here.”
The fact Nifong called himself a “Democrat” for the purpose of running for public office in a county that votes 90% Democratic doesn’t make him a Democrat, any more than whackjob “Rev.” Fred Phelps calling himself a “Democrat” makes him one.
Nifong was a career attorney in the local prosecutor’s office. It was the only legal job he ever had. He never participated in party activities or local politics. Then the elected prosecutor’s job became vacant and Nifong, interested in securing said job, persuaded the Democratic governor to appoint him. The governor later said it was the worst appointment he ever made.
The local Democratic Party didn’t know Nifong. They ran a candidate against him in the Democratic primary who nearly beat him by running on a platform of not wanting the job and promising not to serve if elected.
Nifong is no more a “Democrat” than Fred Phelps is. Low Tax Looper called himself a “Democrat” too, for the purpose of running for the Georgia legislature, but after losing that election he moved to Tennessee, declared himself a conservative Republican, got elected county assessor with the backing of the local GOP, and proceeded to get indicted on 14 counts of fraud, theft, and corruption. All of these charges became moot when he attempted to get elected to the state senate by eliminating his opponent. Literally. After murdering his opponent, Looper was the only candidate left on the ballot. Nevertheless, a Democratic write-in candidate got 96% of the vote — in a Republican county. Looper is now doing life without parole at Brushy Mountain State Penitentiary.
Like Low Tax Looper and the homophobic preacher Fred Phelps, Nifong called himself a “Democrat” but behaves like a Republican and undoubtedly is a Republican at hard. Nifong’s perjury, lying, and malicious prosecution of the innocent Duke University students brands him as a Republican in the Alberto Gonzales mold.
You lose again, Stamn. Thanks for playing.
at heart
@41 “I don’t support the publicans, nor the democrats.”
Another wingnut pretending to be an independent … they’re a dime a dozen these days. If I were a Republican, I wouldn’t admit it, either. The GOP brand name is a bit tarnished these days.
No doubt the parade of Republican politicans at the prison bus boarding ramp is a conspiracy by the liberal media to elect Democrats …

I Pay Higher Taxes Than Bill Gates!
According to the fishwrapper Gates pays $1.1 million property taxes on his $135 million estate. According to my calculator, his tax rate is .0081% of assessed value.
I figured out mine — it’s .0111% of assessed value! My tax rate is 37% than his!

Living in Fear for Helping America
Published: September 1, 2007
Of all the Iraqis jaded by the failure of the United States’ invasion, few are more fearful than the tens of thousands who worked loyally for the American war effort but now find themselves hunted as traitors by militant gunmen.
The Bush administration only lately stepped up the effort to offer them special refugee status, but it turns out that very few are able to safely apply. It’s too dangerous to process them within Iraq, so these harrowed workers must risk expensive trips to Jordan and Syria to apply at American Embassies. It is a classic Catch-22 that has many hiding in terror in their home neighborhoods.

Democrats Say Leaving Iraq May Take Years
By JEFF ZELENY and MARC SANTORA
Even as they call for an end to the war, Democratic
presidential candidates are setting out positions that
could leave the U.S. engaged in Iraq for years.

We have a two party system in this country. That’s not likely to change soon because we elect people with a winner takes all system.
Your energy is better spent changing the system than taking digs at Dems who will have to clean up the Republican’s mess.
The main themes of this blog is Republicans (like Puddybud) suck and always elect more progressive Dems.

Puddybud: no one here is enthusiastic about HRC. We’ll vote for her if she’s the nominee to keep out someone you’d vote for like Mitt Romney.

I am not a party line voter. I have voted for Republicans when I felt they were the better choice. I have publically doubted the quality of our current gov and still fee she can and should be defeated. BUT, that only means I beleve we need real alternatives. A party led by folks immerses in fanatasy … Traq war = Terrosism, inteligent design, the evil weed, free markets, etc. is not fit to govern anymore thatn a party led by leftish fanatasies should govern,
The Rove effect on the Republicans was scary because it was creating a truly dangerous alliance of extremists. Now it looks as if the piper has come to collect his wages. The Republican party is a shambles.
This is not good. Ours IS a two party system and will do best when there is realistic opposition. As realistic Republicans flee or become Dems (James Webb) there is a real danger of the Replicans sinking to a core that believes the simplistic Rove mantra canc an not govern.
Fred Thompson is the latest symptom. He is not a bad guy. He is probably more intelligent than lil Bush, but this is faint praise. errr ahhh, how does he stand up to the Demo candidates?
Thomson is out of his league and probably knows that but sees this as a unique opportunity.
Why can’t the Repricans be honest? … Bush is a failure, Rove damaged the party. The time has come for new leadership. Thompson and the rest of the Reprican candidates can not realistically lead the party. Some are just second rate. Some have beliefs and life styles that are bizar by the standards of Rove. At least one has a true religious issue he can not solve.
The only credible Reprican Prexy is Romney, but he can not win because Mit belongs to a large but sect-like religion. The sad thing is that instead of standing up for moderation, th esquare jawed Superman look-alike, is drinking the kryptonite laced Rovian brew.
Look around the US for popular, successful Replicans. Romney, S’negger stand out. Why? because they are rational conservatives. Iraq, the whit picket border, prayer in the schools, flat taxes, etc are irrational stances.
The answer???
Renew the party. Seek new leadership built around Whitman, the Bush Is, Schwartznegger. Draft businmess leaders into politics instead of second rate demaguougues like Rove.

1. The news (not the opinions) presented by Fox News is not biased towards Republicans.
2. When a news outlet tries to obscure someone’s political party affiliation, that reveals a bias.
So, knowing that Fox News has attempted to call Mark Foley a Democrat when was exposed as a creepy pedophile:

And Arlen Spector a Democrat when he was hammering on Alberto Gonzalez:

Which of the statements above is incorrect?
@79 Mormons are really big on the teen ‘treatment centers’ I can tell you. There has been scandal after scandal in Utah and eastern Nevada where teens have died after being abused in these concentration camps. The funny thing is, they run these places, but won’t send their own kids to them (too cheap).

Haha, nice try. So, in the future, when you try to convince people that there’s an equivalence between O’Reilly and Olbermann, you’ll be armed with examples of Olbermann mislabeling people’s party identification?
The second one was fraudulent reporting, worse than omitting the political label. Shameful.
OK, so is that not an example of Fox News bias in their news reporting?

Excellent. Now we’re getting somewhere. Now, how many times has either CNN, NBC, CBS, ABC, or any other channel mislabeled a Democrat as a Republican in order to make Democrats look good?
Hey Lee,
Excellent catch about Faux News labeling Foley as a Dem.
Stamn: There’s your evidence. The “News” section of Faux News turned a “Publican” (Foley) into a Dem to serve Republican ends.
Will you now admit that the “news reporting” of Faux News Channel is biased way to the right?
P.S.: I always call the Fox News Channel “Faux News” because that’s what it is: fake.
Oops sorry. You did admit it.
Well, Lee, perhaps he has a point about traffic increasing here: lots of people are coming by to snicker at him.

And people of political parties have a diversity of opinion. So unlike how the posters here lump all publicans into the same bunch (and how I lump all liberals into the same bunch), there is diversity.

@96
I don’t think he’s TRYING to be obtuse, it’s just a natural talent; as for loony, I think it’s just normal for his universe. The living under a bridge and eating children, however, is clearly unacceptable in normal society, though I don’t know the conservative perspective on this…..
@94
And people of political parties have a diversity of opinion. So unlike how the posters here lump all publicans into the same bunch (and how I lump all liberals into the same bunch), there is diversity.
I agree. Not all Republicans are as stupid as you. It’s certainly true that people here do buy into broad generalizations about Republicans. In fact, I called out Roger Rabbit for it in another front page thread. But the difference is that you’ve been here saying that you don’t do that, that you’re fighting against groupthink, but you don’t. You make the a bunch of idiotic generalizations about “the left”, and I’ve been enjoying smacking your amateur shit around.
There are some publicans that are pro choice, some liberals that are pro life.
Nearly all liberals are pro life. And most of those who are pro life are also pro choice.
Some publicans that are pro gay marriage, some liberals that are against gay marriage.
Sure, because the gay marriage issue is a moral issue and falls along the libertarian-authoritarian axis.
@94 Marvin
I must be the exception to your rule .. “he posters here lump all publicans into the same bunch .”
However, the reality is that the difference between the two parties is all too real. Today’s Democratic party is overwhelmingly anti imperialist, anti racist, realistic, pro-democratic, etc, Caling the DP “left” is dumb.
In contrast the Republican party is full of far right idealogues. I almost want to call it moderation vs, fantasy.
Let take one exmaple:
Creationism
The majority of Publican candidates endorse this at least as something to be taught.
Another democrat scandal-
Hamann, a respected prosecutor appointed by Gov. Eliot Spitzer, declined to appear before the Senate investigations committee on Aug. 9, instead sending her top lawyer to face the barrage of critical questions. The committee’s second invitation came with the threat of a subpoena.
Dopp’s lawyer, Terence Kindlon, declined to comment. But people close to Dopp, 48, said he hopes to remain on the state payroll for another year or so to qualify for a full pension.
His suspension without pay since July 23 hit Dopp hard, both financially and psychologically. Another aide implicated in Choppergate, William Howard, wasn’t suspended and soon landed a job in the Homeland Security office, albeit at a lower salary.
Dopp’s punishment came hours after a report from the attorney general’s office concluded Dopp and Howard had misused the State Police in a plot to discredit Senate Majority Leader Joseph Bruno (R-Brunswick), Spitzer’s chief rival. The pair hoped to generate negative publicity about Bruno’s use of state helicopters to attend political events. Dopp has denied wrongdoing. He refused to be interviewed by Attorney General Andrew Cuomo, but submitted a statement saying, “I regret any appearance of impropriety that was created.”
http://www.newsday.com/news/lo.....1050.story
Dopp denied wrongdoing but refused to be interviewed by the attorney general (not labeled as a democrat strangely enough). Sounds like he is a scared little rabbit.
Interesting that republicans were labeled, Sen. George Winner Jr. (R-Elmira) & Joseph Bruno (R-Brunswick), Sen. Dean Skelos (R-Rockville Centre) and democrats weren’t. Go figure. You know, I’m starting to sound like a broken record.
@100

What’s inconsistent about it? No Democratic lawmakers were named, just people within Governor Spitzer’s office. Are the people who weren’t labeled elected or appointed officials? Because that makes a big difference.
The article probably could have indicated that Spitzer was a Democrat, but since it’s a New York newspaper, it’s safe to assume that they expect their readership to know that.
Do you feel like giving me serious examples here, or are you sticking with the amateur shit?
@100
And, as I’ve already pointed out to you, you don’t have shit unless you find cases where a newspaper misidentified a Democrat as a Republican in order to deflect bad publicity from the Democratic Party. Only THAT would be an equivalent to what happened on Fox News with Arlen Specter.
@100 Marvin
You are trying to ride a dead horse. Whatever the cause, the Repubs are in trouble. The party needs a reform leader, someone to play the role Clinton played in the Dem party.
The GOP will be GLOP unless it finds a way to rid itself of:
religious extremism
sexual obsession
no taxism
no health care plan
the reason these scandals mean so much is that they represent hypocrisy. Your status as a closted gay does not bother anyone here because you have no opinions on what gay folks should do (much appreciated). BUT, a PARTY that portrays itself in hily terms can not house tghese sorts of characters.
#102 Lee says:
I’ll agree that would be the equivalent, but in your mind, that is the only way to determine bias? Funny, I didn’t find your definition in the dictionary.
@104
I’ll agree that would be the equivalent, but in your mind, that is the only way to determine bias?
No, not at all. What I’m saying is that for you to contend that there’s a pro-Democrat bias to most media outlets, you would think that at least one of them would’ve done something like what Fox News has done on two separate occasions. Your example above is laughable.
#103 SeattleJew says:
Good point. Someone with a new vision and not more of the same old same old. That’s probably why the publicans are hoping for hillary to be the candidate so they don’t have to. The ads will say- are you ready for bush-clinton-bush-clinton.
If you are being honest, why don’t liberals/democrats voice their outrage at the hypocrisy at gore and his personal destruction of the environment… john edwards and his preaching about 2 americas while he is profiting off the foreclosures on the poor blacks in new orleans? Do you care to voice your opinion of these hypocrites?
Keep calling me gay. It doesn’t bother me, yet it does paint the picture of someone who thinks calling someone gay is an insult.

@106
Keep calling me gay. It doesn’t bother me, yet it does paint the picture of someone who thinks calling someone gay is an insult.
I think you misread his comment. He’s noting that you’re a closeted gay. He doesn’t care at all that your gay. What he was saying was that many closeted gays lash out against gay people because they’re ashamed of who they are – and you haven’t, which is refreshing.
It’s kind of obvious that you haven’t been able to grasp all of this because you kept insisting that the Larry Craig situation was getting so much attention because he’s a Republican (I mean, seriously, who is THAT stupid). The only explanation that makes sense to us is that you’re a closeted gay yourself and that Larry Craig’s dilemma is just normal to you. It’s not to most people. Straight people are amazed that a human being can live with that level of cognitive dissonance. SeattleJew was just trying to help you understand that.
#107 Lee says:

Airlines Stealing Skycaps’ Tips
Here’s a cheap-labor story as outrageous as McGavick’s scheme to let restaurant owners empty the waitress tip jar into their own pockets:
SeaTac skycaps, who are employed by contractors who pay the absolutely lowest wage that state law allows — and get zero benefits — live on their tips.
Several airlines have begun charging passengers a “bag handling fee,” typically $2 a bag. Passengers naturally think this money is for skycap service. But the airlines pocket it all, giving nothing to the skycaps, and tips are plummeting.
Airport and airline officials say, yes, there’s a problem — but then they whine about fuel costs blah blah. Bottom line: No one is willing to pay the skycaps a living wage. Oh — one more thing — the contractors refuse to say how much profit they’re making from the skycaps’ undercompensated labor.
“SEATTLE (AP) – … It used to be that a skycap could live on tips … [but] in the post-Sept. 11 world of airline penny pinching, their income is being whittled away by the airlines and the companies they contract with. …
“United, Alaska Airlines, US Airways, Northwest, American and America West charge $2 a bag for curb checking, but that money isn’t going to the skycaps. It goes to the contractors and/or airlines. The result, the skycaps say, is financial hardship ….
“‘The fee on baggage has dramatically lessened the tips I would have received,’ said skycap James Taggart, 44, who has worked at Sea-Tac for 23 years and commutes from Puyallup to do so. ‘ … Now, when I get $5 for two bags, $4 goes to the company ….”
“The trick is finding a system to satisfy all three parties, and that is a long way off. In the meantime, skycaps say, their incomes are dropping. …
“It is not known how profitable the contracting companies who work with skycaps and wheelchair attendants are; representatives from Huntleigh and AirServ – which, along with ACSI and Aviation Safeguards manage skycaps at the airport through contracts with airlines or other third-party contractors – did not return calls for comment. …
“Sergio Salinas, president of SEIU Local 6, which represents a portion of the skycaps at Sea-Tac, said that all the parties recognize the skycap issue, but no one with the authority to make change wants to step up.
“‘Over the last 30 years, we’ve been trying to get the situation taken care of and make these people have a decent wage and medical benefits, but instead of that, what we’ve seen is the airlines imposing a new system which charges $2 per bag,’ Salinas said. ‘Passengers don’t understand that this $2 does not go to the skycap.’
” … Salinas believes that the port should take over the contracting and push to have one skycap company and one wheelchair company for the entire airport.
“After the Sept. 11 attacks, Alaska Airlines wanted to get rid of skycaps altogether to save money and did so, for a little while. But it was persuaded by a contractor to begin charging for the service in order to provide it, and many other airlines followed suit.
“‘We are all working under tough economic constraints driven by high fuel prices, increasing competition and fluctuations in the national economy for leisure travel,’ Alaska Airlines spokeswoman Caroline Boren said. …
“‘The airlines don’t want to pay,’ said James Collins, 60, who has been working at Sea-Tac as a skycap since 1992. ‘Nobody does.'”

Roger Rabbit Commentary: The airlines are all for the skycaps who serve their passenbers making a living wage — as long as THEY get to keep the tips and someone else has to pay the skycaps’ wages.

As for the airline industry’s poor-mouthing:
“U.S. airline industry could post record profit this year
“By Jeff Bailey
“Published: April 2, 2007
“CHICAGO: … [T]he U.S. airline industry could post record profits this year. …
“The Air Transport Association, a U.S. airline trade group, said it expected industry profits totaling $4 billion this year … [b]ut some think the industry could top its former record of about $5.4 billion in profit, set in 1999.
“‘It’s time to buy the airlines again,’ Bob McAdoo, an analyst at Prudential Equity Group, told clients in a report in March. He has … profit projections for this year that would easily set an industry record. …
“[B]ankruptcies, along with efforts by airlines not in bankruptcy, have drastically reduced labor … costs at airlines. … [P]lanes are mostly full and airlines have been able to raise fares … about 15 percent last year alone. … [V]ery few new planes are scheduled for delivery to domestic airlines this year or next, which will keep capacity tight and … allow further fare increases.
” … Philip Baggaley, who as a debt analyst at Standard & Poor’s gets paid to worry about the downside of the airline industry, said, ‘It’ll be the best year since the 1990s ….’
But … Baggaley and others see signs of trouble. Labor unions … are growing restive as they watch … airline executives collect big pay packages not … long after union members surrendered … one-third of their compensation to keep carriers afloat.”

@108 Marvin
I have no more reason to consider sexual preference an insult that I would to consider musical taste or athletic ability. Would it be an insult if I called yo a closet jock? Lee’s point is good, why owuld you consider my comment an insult unless you are a closeted gay?
What do you want anyone to do about your identity? I asked Harvey’s insight because we all know Pookas understand people very well. Given his well known skills, unless you want to tell us more why wouldn’t I accept Harvey’s opinion?
BTW, Harvey also tells me you are not an ex Jock but that you are divorced, a male,about 47 years old. He also says you were born into a Christian family but really do not take any reliigon seriously, are going bald, and have a scar on your left leg. Any details you want to add are fine by me.
@111 Marvin, Marvin
I can not speak for Lee, but the only reason I care about whether you are or are not gay is your obsession with the idea the liberals care about the issue. Frankly, I do not even know whether Craig is gay. Maybe he is just a hypocrite.
This whole thing mystifies me. Why are the republicans so obsessed with others’ sex lives? For all I know GWB wears leather and latex to bed. I wouldn’t care anymore than I cared where Bill put his willy. Why do you guys care?
Why not come out of the cave/closet? If Harvey’s ideas are wrong (and he is almost always right) the it would do you good to say more about yourself. How could it hurt?
BTW, Harvey is pretty well known but if you want him to tell you more about himself he is a pretty honest rabbit.
Actually, it’s a little misleading to say liberals care about gays. What we care about is the principle of treating all people the same. We believe it’s wrong to discriminate against anyone simply because s/he is different from one self.
Why should some wingnut living in Seattle give a shit about whether two gays in Massachusetts he’s never met get married? That’s none of his business.

Assie Voice: Getting back to the “47 Million {Americans)” who are without health insurance, why do you Moonbat!s add the Americans to the end when the US Census calls them people?
From the LA Times: “The number of Americans without health insurance rose last year from 44.8 million, or 15.3% of the population, to 47 million, or 15.8%, the Census Bureau reported today.”
http://www.latimes.com/news/na tionworld/nation/la-na-census2 9aug29,1,7116144.story?track=c rosspromo&coll=la-headlines-na tion&ctrack=2&cset=true
But when you turn to page 29 of the US Census report it states them as not citizens. There are 10 Million per this report. http://www.census.gov/prod/200 7pubs/p60-233.pdf
So the number is down to 37 Million.
Now if you continue to read the census report 17.7 million earn more than $50,000 a year and can “afford” health insurance. So now were down to 20 million.
Now I posted my reference from July 27th which referenced 13.2 million with Kaiser Family Foundation. I will increase my number to 20 Million. Less than half of the MSM and Moonbat! number of 47 Million!!!!!

They’re meant to help felons get back on their feet, but a pair of work release centers in Tacoma are running into trouble.
Prison Rape Elimination Act documents reveal an inappropriate physical relationship between a staff member and a resident named Ryan Black.
When confronted with the evidence investigators collected, such as a urinalysis positive for marijuana use, the worker quit her job.
“My private life is my private life,” the worker said.
The woman, who was fired and now works outside of state government, said she knows of other instances of inappropriate relationships.
“It’s common. We’re human. It’s human nature,” the woman said.
http://www.nwcn.com/statenews/.....201ef.html
Of course the fired worker knows of other instances, like she said it’s human nature. Taxpayer funded employees, gotta love it. Well, unless your a criminal then you’re screwed, literally.
Most workers know the boss can track their computer use: Send too many personal e-mails, visit too many Web sites unrelated to work, and it could spell trouble.
State workers get the same warning. But unlike workers at private companies, their business, by law, is open to public scrutiny. So what happens when a state worker uses his office computer to send e-mails about things like dating habits, weekend plans or family turmoil?
Do taxpayers have a right to see those messages?

I was wondering where the racist headless lucy went, he went a trollin’ at soundpolitics. And if you think I’m a bad troll, check him out.
Damn, I’m starting to feel at home here on horsesass knowing there are so many trolls.
Like I said in a previous reply to you, I’m filling the void. Who here doesn’t already know about publican shenanigans?
What void? I’ve already challenged you to link to a single comment from someone saying that they don’t think that Democrats can be corrupt or incompetent. If you can’t find such a statement from an HA commenter, then you’re not filling a void, you’re being a nitwit.

Yeah, hahaha! Link please.

I actually haven’t commented over at Sound Politics in a while (I almost always comment there as ‘thehim’, rather than Lee). SeattleJew holds his own. We actually disagree on our share of things as well, but he’s definitely sharp enough to hold his own.

As I said, I haven’t been over there in a while. I’ve actually just been making fun of the main posters over at Effin Unsound.
Damn, I’m starting to feel at home here on horsesass knowing there are so many trolls.
Well, as someone who also writes for a blog that makes fun of stupid people, I’m grateful for the material.

You must be talking about this:

Here’s my response demolishing Eric:

Eric never replied. Shocker!!
Daddy Love@156. No it isn’t if they choose not to buy it or if they are illegal aliens!
Try again Daddy Love.
@161
Huh? If someone chooses not to buy it, they still don’t have it.
Marvin@148: The first real post from chadt was tonight, Sunday September 2, 2007, in the Three Kiro Comedy Hours of David “ASSIE Voice” Goldstein.
I guess he took our advice and thought for a change. I wonder if his “wife” helped him compose that thought.
Lee@162: Then they choose to forgo that opportunity by their own volition. How do you include someone as uninsured when they choose to not insure themselves? I would agree if they created a category of “not insured by choice”. Uninsured infers they want it but can’t afford it or it’s not offered at their job.
You can’t count illegals because they are here illegally.

Because they’re uninsured. And if they happen to get a long-term illness, they’re still completely fucked.

Not necessarily. Uninsured means not insured, regardless of the reason. This is something unique to the United States among first world countries. In other places, people don’t have to make basic risk-cost decisions when it comes to their health care. Someone deciding not to have health care is at risk and we should be alarmed at the number of people who have to gamble with their lives like that.

I’m not sure if the 47 million figure counts those here illegally. I’d have to look that up.
#160 Lee says:
My sentiments exactly. HAHAHAHA
Lee@167: I posted the link. The Census calls the 10 million illegals people. The librul MSM calls them Americans.
I’ll make it easy for you. Start on page 29
#162
Why didn’t you post your response where you were being punked. Why run off and post your “demolishing” post somewhere it wouldn’t be seen. Classic. Where did you learn that, from john edwards? HAHAHAHA
#167 Lee says:

Do you have a breakdown on the people not insured? For example, how many are illegals, how many are young enough not to need it (yet), how many would rather have a new car, how many can’t afford it, etc.?

Actually, a lot of people in the local media read Effin’ Unsound, and Darryl also ripped on him here at HorsesAss, linking to my post. I know Eric saw it because his first reply was to something I wrote at Effin’ Unsound. He just chose not to reply.
So, you got that link of where thehim was getting his butt kicked at Sound Politics on the Plame case? Still waiting!

As I said before, I don’t care about the breakdown. Uninsured is uninsured. It means not having insurance. It means that if you get a life-long illness (which can happen to anyone at any age), you are completely fucked financially. This is a situation that does not exist in any other first world country. I do not agree that when a 22 year old kid buys a car instead of health insurance, then gets cancer, that the correct response is to say “too bad, you gambled and lost.” That’s pathetic, and this country should be better than that.
