That officer deserves hazardous duty pay. I don’t think I could keep a straight face while describing the nutcracker.
That has to be some sort of early April Fools’ joke.
And by the way, now I can put some real distance between myself and the Oklahoma City Carpetbaggers……..er, Sonics:
http://www.nbareno.com
Okay, it’s the D-League. But a D-League team could probably beat the Sonics these days. And reasonable ticket prices! But if you look at the listing of season-ticket prices, they have ‘Hollywood Seats’ for $2,400 for the season. For that much, whoever owns one of those seats had better get his hot dogs and beer hand-delivered to him by a showgirl. Or better yet, an……employee……yeah, an employee of the Mustang Ranch……
Some advisor over at Obama’s campaign staff resigned after calling Hillary a “monster.” Should have called her a “nutcracker” instead.
BTW, Ann Coulter is voting for Hillary. Bet that makes all you Hillary fans proud.
David @ 3… I dunno how he did that either. That was some self control there…
Politically Incorrect @ 5
They have a lot in common, as far as personalities go. Next thing, they should produce an Ann Coulter nutcracker doll.
Local girl makes unexpected appearance in Hillary ad
11:14 PM PST on Friday, March 7, 2008
By ELISA HAHN / KING 5 News
BONNEY LAKE, Wash. – The political ad that sparked nationwide controversy turns out to have a surprising local connection.
One of the actors in the Hillary Clinton ad was shocked to see herself, especially because she’s a fierce supporter of Barack Obama.
The so-called “red-phone ad” played a big role in Clinton’s win in Texas, suggesting Barack Obama is too inexperienced to handle a national crisis.
But the young girl starring in the ad will actually be voting age next month and says she’s no fan of Hillary Clinton.

Open thread….let’s hear about why Sen. Lisa Brown needs to be thrown into the sound immediately over her frivolous lawsuit. We passed I-96o, the people have spoken and it is so. Just another example of the douche-bags in Olympia and their willfull disregard of the desires of the people. Ho-hum. I’ll bet Roger Rodent hops on over to lick her smelly feet though. :)
There is another Hillary themed product, called the “party splicer”. 4 out of 5 Republicans recommend it.
So let me see – if the people elect a member of the Legislature, and that member takes action on behalf of the people, and the people don’t like it – then they can try to vote her out. That’s the way representative government works. All right wingers who don’t like that – head to Cuba where the system seems much more to your liking.
Why is that state patrolman wearing a teeny weeny bow tie?
From the Chicago Tribune:
“The Macedonian government opened its border to refugees the day before Clinton arrived to meet with government leaders. And her mission to Bosnia was a one-day visit in which she was accompanied by performers Sheryl Crow and Sinbad, as well as her daughter, Chelsea, according to the commanding general who hosted….”
There you have it, Hillary Clinton, as experienced in foreign policy as Sinbad and Sheryl Crow.
@ 5 – We get 1 republican, Obama gets hundreds of thousands of them.
I’ll take 1 republican and support of 55% of registered democrats, over support of 45% of registered democrats and a ton of republicans anyday.
@11:
No, partisanship has nothing to do with it. She is creating an end-run around the wishes of the people and circumventing it, under the guise of “constitutionality” which is just a smoke screen for the fact that the almighty Ms. Lisa Brown dosen’t like the fact that we limited Olympia’s power (and hers) to raise taxes. Regardless of your party affiliation, if you can’t see this, then that’s your own stupidity.
Screech, screech, screech.
Imagine the piercing screams at the end of the first week of November.
Mark1- the people do not get to vote via initiative to implement something inconsistent with the Constitution. The barrier to constitutional change is deliberately high to prevent the passions of the time from overturning our basic principles.
There are procedures for constitutional change, and if you cannot pass those tests, you don’t get your changes.
I have no problem with an elected official seeking to uphold those principles.

Ann Coulter nutcracker doll

Or as the tacky headline says, “Now You Can Bust a Nut With Ann Coulter”

Here’s somethign that perhaps even you can understand…
“Will of the people” passes an iniative. Initiative raises the vote threshold for passing bills that is mandated in the state constituon. Court declares legislation unconstitutional. “Will of the people” is beside the point. Rule of law is.
Simple.
Why do Republicans have such contempt for constitutions?

WA state constitution, Article I Section 22:
http://www.leg.wa.gov/LawsAndA.....tution.htm
That’s called a simple majority, bitch. And it’s the law of the land in Washignton until the constitution is amended.
Yet, to Mark1, the explicit literal meaning of the state constitution, and the fact that our constitution also specifies how it can be changed (Article XXIII, Section 1) and that ain’t by the passage of an initiative, is some fucking “smoke screen.”
Regardless of your party affiliation, if you can’t understand the plain fact of this, then that’s your own stupidity.

No matter what, I’ll be voting for the candidate who gets 100% of the “registered Democrats.”
@ 21- it is somewhat amazing, and disappointing, how little basic understanding there is of our form of government.
Thanks for having me. Now, having re-re-disposed of Mark1, I’ll put my own posts in.
Bush vetoes anti-torture bill
http://www.whitehouse.gov/news.....80308.html
Because without torture, what kind of nation would we be? Asshole. Restoring the rule of law should be the first duty of every American in this country. I don’t mean Democrats, I mean Americans. If you’re on the side of the torturers, maybe we should rescind some of your favorite rights come January.
Today’s the election day in IL-14. This is Dennis “Let Mark Foley Bone the Pages” Hastert’s old seat, and the Democrat is running neck-and-neck in a district formerly so Republican that the Speaker of the House came from there. The RNC has had to sink $1 million that they could really, really use for other races in the general election into this race and they might lose it. We’ll know by end-of-day.
Hopefully, it’s a harbinger of massive Democratic victories to come in 2008. If not, a hard fought race that drains their resources for minor gains,and organizing for the fifty-state strategy in the future.
Congrats to Mark1 who aimed his barb at the plaintiff, Lisa Brown.
Unlike slimeball hustler Eyman.
Shows you don’t have to extend yourself that much to rise above Timmeh the snake oil salesman.
BTW, re: waterboarding. It already is illegal under the UN Convention against torure, whic the US has signed and ratified and is therefore the law of the land. We know this fucking president doesn’t give a shit about following the law, but this bill would further restrict the CIA and other agencies to use only the interrogation techniques specified in the US Army Field Manual. We cannot be world leaders or have any moral authority without being transparent and accountable. By continuing his illegal interrogation programs, the president is sacrificing our strategic advantage for what are known to be failed methods of achieving tactical gain.
We all pretty much know there’s a recession coming, this year.
Here’s the question: isn’t this bad news for the candidate of the incumbent party?

We know it is not going to be anything near the recession of 2000. I wouldn’t be surprise if the economy picked up this summer which makes the question mute.

No it’s your interpretation of the constitution that is flawed. Liberals will never has a correct interpretation of the constitution because they are commies.
which makes the question mute.
mute? There’s that private school education at the Limpblows U of Wingnuttia again..
Rule of law is.
Define “is”.
Liberals will never has a correct interpretation of the constitution because they are commies.
Wingnuts will never have a correct interpretation because they’re fascists.
Dog @ 21- quite a sophisticated analysis. WHy do you oppose our constitutional form of government?

No it’s your interpretation of the constitution that is flawed.
No, it’s the plain meaning of the constitution. I provided it for you @22. Explain how it works some other way. If you can take time out from your busy schedule of name-calling.
Hillary is going to crack Obomber’s nuts.
32 JBD
So its’ your opinion that a rosy, robust economy will propel John McCain into the White House? And that things like oh, falling home prices, rising foreclosures, job losses, and the $325 billion in margin calls now hitting the financial services industry are not signs that things are getting worse economically?
33 JBD
I left out (though you could follow my link and read for yourself) the other important section. Article I Section 29:
So here you go, JBD. The Constitution says that a simple majority is all that is required to pass a bill. I-960 says that bills that contain “tax increases” require either a two-thirds vote in each house of the legislature or voter approval. But that’s not what the constitution says. And in a constitutional republic, when that happens, the constitution wins.
Like I said, if you think it works some other way, please fill us all in on your special wisdom.

But what she’s NOT going to do is pass him in pledged delegates. I figure she’s angling for the VP slot.
So California just certified their primary results today. The net result of the final count is that Clinton lost 4 from her media totals and Obama gained 4 more, erasing Hillary’s gains in Ohio and Texas. Go figure.

@9 If frivolity were a crime you would have burned at the sake a long time ago.
@15 The people don’t get to amend the constitution, dumbass. That’s why all Repubs aren’t in jail.
Why should 1/3rd of the voters be able to overrule the other 2/3rds?
Answer to #47: Because the GOP will always be a minority party and that’s their only chance of getting their way.
@15
“She is creating an end-run around the wishes of the people and circumventing it, under the guise of “constitutionality” which is just a smoke screen…”
It’s not an end run or a smoke screen, it’s the rule of law. Something that little timmy the watch salesman and the Republican party seem to have little regard for.

What recession of 2000? There was no recession in 2000.

We are not in one now. Compared to 2000 we are in an economic boom. Why do donks lie about the economy…. wait they lie about everything. Nevermind.

Why should the minority over rule the majority on I-960. Donks are like commies, they only like majority rules when they are in the majority.
See this link for the insulting blackface jobs democrats love to put on photos of people. But they’re not racist…….are they?

…so exactly WHY is that okay?
Look, everyone.
Mr. Eyman and his backers knew very well that the initiative was unconstitutional. While many of his supporters probably thought they were supporting something that would limit taxes, Mr. Eyman knew that all they were doing was giving their base a talking point for the next election.
Look at what is happening. They put limits on taxes that they know are needed to support the services that even they know are needed.
The taxes will be passed. If there was any chance that the tax would actually fail to pass, enough Republicans would be allowed to “vote their consciences” to make it pass.
What they want is to be able to complain about “liberal activist judges” in order to let BIAW make another try at electing their hand-picked judges, and to give them a talking point for their candidates in the next election.
If they had really wanted to limit taxes, they would have written an initiative that had a chance to pass Constitutional muster.
Either Mr. Eyman and his backers are certifiable morons (which I do not believe) or they deliberately wrote the initiative in a way that they knew was unconstitutional.
They’ll please their base, get some election talking points and get another chance at the Washington Supreme Court. This was the goal from the beginning, and even Jane’s dog could figure that out.
Thanks Will. You know that is my favorite witty toy.
