Lee,
Since this is an open thread, I wanted to make one more comment re: medical pot.
Earlier today, I was listening to the radio and some new song by Snoop Dogg comes on — I believe it is called “Buy My Medicine.” It talks about how he needs his “medicine” and how he is high all day.
If you want the general voting public to be on your side for medical pot, we should be seeing scathing letters to the editor and hearing LOUD protests of this song by the MM proponents.
I don’t think Snoop should be prevented from playing his song, but perception is reality. If you want people like Martin viewed as patients and not stoners, you have to change perceptions. Songs like Snoop’s do a LOT of damage to that perception.

Sorry, I just found it funny. In the past, I have called out people in the “stoner stupid” crowd who tend to undermine the politics surrounding medical marijuana, but in the end, there’s not much you can do about pop culture. It’s like the New Yorker cover of Obama. It’s brilliant satire, but it will probably reinforce the ignorance of that narrow subset of America who really thinks he is an anti-American muslim extremist. Sometimes you can’t fix stupid no matter how much shame and humiliation is poured on them.
It’s a reality that people can have faulty perceptions and act as if their perception is reality, but that only leads to things like the quagmire in Iraq.
No matter how many times the phrase: ‘War on Terror’ is repeated, there will never be a war on terror.
That’s reality.

Okay, open thread, so….
Republicans like to argue that they are “businessmen” who know how things really work, and that private business is more efficient than government, etc. They frequently run candidates for public office based upon their “business experience”.
Now, take a look at a handfull of some of the most successfull businessmen in the world who made their money from genuine hard work and being smart as all get-out, and note their positions with respect to the Republican ideolgy:
Inheritance Taxes: Republicans hate them. But Bill Gates Sr. is one of the most adamant proponant of a progressive tax system, and is in favor of a steep inheritance tax to avoid creating an idle wealthy class of heirs. His son, Bill Gates Jr., who has been among the richest men in the world for the better part of the last two decades, has vowed to give almost all of his money away to charity BEFORE he dies, and his children will receive only a small amount.
ENERGY POLICY: Republicans say we can solve the oil crisis by allowing for more offshore drilling rights to oil companies. But T. Boone Pickings, a legendary oil man and corporate titan, says we need to switch to renewable energy before all our wealth is transferred to foreign countries, and he especially favors solar and wind energy systems.
TRADE POLICY: Republicans are generally in favor of unrestricted global trade. But Warren Buffet, the extraordinarily successful investment guru of Berkshire-Hathaway, has warned that our long-term trade deficit is resulting in a transfer of American wealth which cannot be sustained. He warns that we will have spent through the accumulated investment of wealth within the current generation, leaving our descendents with nothing but debt.

In 1994, I helped write the Republican Contract with America. I served on Bob Dole’s presidential campaign team and was chief economist for Jack Kemp’s Empower America.

Even if my hopes on domestic policy are dashed and Obama reveals himself as an unreconstructed, dyed-in-the-wool, big-government liberal, I’m still voting for him.
These past eight years, we have spent over a trillion dollars on foreign soil – and lost countless lives – and done what I consider irreparable damage to our Constitution.
If economic damage from well-intentioned but misbegotten Obama economic schemes is the ransom we must pay him to clean up this foreign policy mess, then so be it. It’s not nearly as costly as enduring four more years of what we suffered the last eight years.

I thought having a spine meant doing the right thing when it wasn’t easy or popular.
I know what a conservative is. It has many flavors. The social conservative that is pro family, anti abortion, hates gays and interracial marriage. The fiscal conservative that wants a balanced budget, and living with our financial means. The corporate conservative that wants no corporate taxes, or unions, or rules that hinder a corporation from doing what ever makes a profit. The security conservative that is for strong military and and a dictator president.
But what does a progressive stand for? What are progressive values?
– Do not support stupid wars that are not in the US’s self interest, like WW2.
– Protectionist, not free trade
– Pro Union.
– Pro environment, so we have clean air, clean water, and snail darters even if it means costing jobs.

Nunez and most of her siblings and their spouses are unemployed and rely on government assistance and food stamps.

People tell Nunez her daughter could get more money in public assistance if she had a child.
“A lot of people have told me, ‘Why don’t your daughter have a kid?'”
During my more than 60 years of covering national politics, I have never seen a candidate’s principles and character so effectively tarnished — after so extraordinarily inspiring a start — as Barack Obama’s. He has come to resemble another mellifluous orator I came to know in Boston during my first time reporting on a campaign — James Michael Curley, the skilful prestidigitator whom Spencer Tracy masterfully played in the movie “The Last Hurrah.” Obama’s deflation has not been due to ruthless opposition research by John McCain’s team but by the “change” candidate himself. Like millions of Americans, I, for a time, was buoyed by not only the real-time prospect of our first black president but much more by the likelihood that Obama would pierce the dense hypocrisy and insatiable power-grabbing of current American politics.
But after abandoning his pledge to abide by public financing, this apostle of cleansing the political culture is now going after the high rollers. As the July 3 New York Times reported, “Last week, the Obama campaign collected about $5 million at an event featuring celebrities in Los Angeles. The evening began with a dinner at the Dorothy Chandler Pavilion for more than 200 people who had contributed $28,500 per couple, or raised $50,000.” Then there is the current furor among a rising number of Obama contributors with wallets far below the $50,000-a-pop crowd about his change on the “compromise” FISA Amendments Act of 2008 that passed the House and Senate, and has been signed by the grateful president.
Nat’s always been a good writer, been reading his stuff since high school.
Therefore, Obama’s one-night at the stadium could produce four times the amount of carbon pollutants as one night at the Pepsi Center (where the rest of his convention will take place)… or… more pollutants than ALL FOUR nights of the Republcan Convention… combined.
Just like when you compare the homes of bush and gore, the bush home is green friendly. The gore castle has a big carbon footprint. The democrats talk the talk but somehow always have excuses why they can’t walk the walk.
I’m sure gore buys carbon offsets, just like kobe bryant bought his wife a big diamond after screwing some chick in colorado.
Of course, the rich elite will never have to cut back on their pollution since they can pay for diamonds, er, carbon offsets. Like most democrat policies, poor blacks will be hurt the most. Typical.
Thousands of protestors are expected to converge at the DNC.
Anybody want to make a bet about the political leanings of the protesters? Want to bet they are left of center?
And rightfully so, the city of denver is worried about violence and damage.
How many times do republicans protest? And when they do, do they resort to the same kind of violence and damage that the left routinely does?
It’s going to be a fun convention. No fried foods. A city that deported the homeless. All the global warming. And sitting back watching the extreme-left protest the far-left.
Priceless.

Politically Incorrectspews:
rhp6033,
The problem with the inheritance tax is that, because of inflation, it effects middle class people who have no chance of setting-up some dynastic wealth scheme. If we must have an inheritance tax (and I don’t support one), the tax should allow at least $1 billion in wealth to pass from generation to generation without tax. This amount should be indexed, say every 5 years, to keep up with systemic inflation.
With $1 billion (as indexed) allowed to be passed tax free from generation to generation, family businesses and farms should pass intact. There’s no sense destroying a family business or farm for the sake of taxes.
Bill Gates’ dad and Bill can do whatever they choose with their money, but allow others to pass their estates to their heirs without government interference.
In the new poll, 53 percent of voters (and 50 percent of former Hillary Clinton supporters) believe that Obama has changed his position on key issues in order to gain political advantage.
….
More seriously, some Obama supporters worry that the spectacle of their candidate eagerly embracing his old rival, Hillary Clinton, and traveling the country courting big donors at lavish fund-raisers, may have done lasting damage to his image as an arbiter of a new kind of politics.
The number of democrats finally seeing the truth is growing daily. Not that they will vote for mcsame, they will simply sit the election out.
It’s just that Obama’s rhetoric on taxes and health care is scaring common wealthy people with large capital gains from investments made over the past decade, and a lot of them don’t want to wait around to see whether it’s just populist fluff that might be set aside once he takes office.
Plus, the Democrats who run Congress know that a weaker economy favors their nominee — and they are loath to pass banking or trade legislation now to improve the nation’s industrial standing over fears that it could backfire and give comfort to the Republicans. And finally, there is a well-founded anxiety that one-party rule in Washington for at least the next two years will bring about the sort of abuse of power that has gotten both parties into trouble over the past few decades.

My grandfather, Dr. Martin Luther King, Sr., or “Daddy King”, was a Republican and father of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. who was a Republican.
…
No one batted an eye when President Kennedy opposed the 1963 March on Washington by Dr. King. Hardly a ripple of protest was uttered when President Kennedy, through his brother Attorney General Robert Kennedy, had Dr. King wiretapped and investigated on suspicion of being a Communist. Little attention was paid to the fact that it was a Democrat, Public Safety Commissioner Eugene “Bull” Conner, who in 1963 turned dogs and fire hoses on Dr. King and other civil rights protestors. No one noted that it was a Democrat, Georgia Governor Lester Maddox, who waved ax handles to stop blacks from patronizing his restaurant. Nor was heed paid to the fact that it was a Democrat, Alabama Governor George Wallace, who stood in front of the Alabama schoolhouse in 1963 and thundered: “Segregation now, segregation tomorrow, segregation forever.” None of those racist Democrats became Republicans. During this time of turmoil, completely forgotten was the fact that it was Democrat Arkansas Governor Orville Faubus who in 1954 had blocked desegregation of a Little Rock public school. To their eternal shame, the chief opponents of the landmark 1964 Civil Rights Act were Democrats Senators Sam Ervin, Albert Gore, Sr. and Robert Byrd, a former Klansman. All of the racist Democrats that Dr. King was fighting remained Democrats until the day they died. How can anyone today think that Dr. King, my uncle, would have joined the party of the KKK?
The writings of some person named Alveda C. King. Relative of some guy named Martin Luther King.

Wouldn’t be welcome. Guess the big tent the democrats believe in doesn’t even include a war hero like cleland. Wasn’t wesley clark also thrown under the bus a week or two ago?
So here’s the bottom line. The polls make me nervous. Not desperate, not hopeless, not resigned, but nervous. Barack Obama should be ahead right now. Way ahead. Not even close is how it should look, even though I wouldn’t for a minute tell you that if it were that would seal the deal.

5. Maybe I should have a female friend call up a Seattle radio show and tell how she had a lesbian relationship with Darcy in college, how Darcy used her and then tossed her aside. Sound fair?
Go for it.

I wouldn’t do that. Just asking the question.

WOW!
That’s a shocker, a cross-dressing Republican faggot. After getting all “pretty” Jesse probably went cruising for men in bathrooms at Logan International.
The funny part is, the caller doesn’t ID who the cross dressing fag is, but the conservative yum-yum guesses Jesse Helms at the 1:30 mark.
Hmmmm. . . Just a lucky guess?
The Real Mark spews:
Lee,
Since this is an open thread, I wanted to make one more comment re: medical pot.
Earlier today, I was listening to the radio and some new song by Snoop Dogg comes on — I believe it is called “Buy My Medicine.” It talks about how he needs his “medicine” and how he is high all day.
If you want the general voting public to be on your side for medical pot, we should be seeing scathing letters to the editor and hearing LOUD protests of this song by the MM proponents.
I don’t think Snoop should be prevented from playing his song, but perception is reality. If you want people like Martin viewed as patients and not stoners, you have to change perceptions. Songs like Snoop’s do a LOT of damage to that perception.
Steve spews:
Mark, I have a follow up question for you on the marijuana thread.
Lee spews:

I’ll make sure I put a cap in Snoop’s ass then.
The Real Mark spews:
Lee @ 8
Go ahead… make jokes. I was really trying to help.
Whatever.
Lee spews:
@9
Sorry, I just found it funny. In the past, I have called out people in the “stoner stupid” crowd who tend to undermine the politics surrounding medical marijuana, but in the end, there’s not much you can do about pop culture. It’s like the New Yorker cover of Obama. It’s brilliant satire, but it will probably reinforce the ignorance of that narrow subset of America who really thinks he is an anti-American muslim extremist. Sometimes you can’t fix stupid no matter how much shame and humiliation is poured on them.
headless lucy spews:
re 6: “…perception is reality.” No, not really.
It’s a reality that people can have faulty perceptions and act as if their perception is reality, but that only leads to things like the quagmire in Iraq.
No matter how many times the phrase: ‘War on Terror’ is repeated, there will never be a war on terror.
That’s reality.

The funny part is, the caller doesn’t ID who the cross dressing fag is, but the conservative yum-yum guesses Jesse Helms at the 1:30 mark.
Hmmmm. . . Just a lucky guess?
I’m guessing that the particular show was about Jesse Helms that day (possibly because it was the day after he died?).
GBS spews:
@ 14:
No doubt, but today, I’m going to jump to conclusions and falsehoods like the coservatives like to do.
Therefore, it was a random caller and the topic of the show was the price of gas.

A classic.
Including drool and spittle from Mark.
W. Klingon Skousen spews:
“There are certain things you just don’t do, and if you do them, you pay the price.” Jesse Helms
Seeing as how perception is reality, I choose to see an image of Jesse Helms in my mind dressed up like a $2 French Hoor, simpering into the camera with those pinched lips he used to have.
ArtFart spews:
17 Thanks a lot. The imagery you evoked just about made me hurl.
ByeByeGOP spews:
Hey Fake Mark you as ashamed of Helms as you are Bush? And no – nobody is hands off. Those are YOUR rules. You right wingers declared war on dead Democrats, sick Democrats, Democratic families, wives, children etc. Now you don’t like it because we’re fighting back. Get used to it you coward.
And another anti-gay gay republican is NOT shocking. It’s the norm!
I think maybe someone should call the Seattle radio stations and talk about Dino Rossi’s time with Sheriff Davie at a gay club. You really want to play that game Fake Mark you little bitch? We can play that too if you want it. Be careful what you wish for.

Seattle is the 6th most walkable city in America according to walkscore.com. Walkscore ranks Pioneer Square as the most walkable neighborhood in Seattle. Having to smell piss and step around used needles must not be part of their ranking criteria.
Entering my address into walkscore’s to get my neighborhoods “walking score” they liked that I live 1.09 miles from a public library. Except, um… they didn’t note that that library is located inside a state women’s prison.
Lee spews:

LOL. Yeah, I played with that for a little bit. They certainly need some work on their algorithm. My parents’ house in PA scored fairly well, but in order to get to nearly all the places, you have to walk through a heavily wooded area. :)
rhp6033 spews:
Okay, open thread, so….
Republicans like to argue that they are “businessmen” who know how things really work, and that private business is more efficient than government, etc. They frequently run candidates for public office based upon their “business experience”.
Now, take a look at a handfull of some of the most successfull businessmen in the world who made their money from genuine hard work and being smart as all get-out, and note their positions with respect to the Republican ideolgy:
Inheritance Taxes: Republicans hate them. But Bill Gates Sr. is one of the most adamant proponant of a progressive tax system, and is in favor of a steep inheritance tax to avoid creating an idle wealthy class of heirs. His son, Bill Gates Jr., who has been among the richest men in the world for the better part of the last two decades, has vowed to give almost all of his money away to charity BEFORE he dies, and his children will receive only a small amount.
ENERGY POLICY: Republicans say we can solve the oil crisis by allowing for more offshore drilling rights to oil companies. But T. Boone Pickings, a legendary oil man and corporate titan, says we need to switch to renewable energy before all our wealth is transferred to foreign countries, and he especially favors solar and wind energy systems.
TRADE POLICY: Republicans are generally in favor of unrestricted global trade. But Warren Buffet, the extraordinarily successful investment guru of Berkshire-Hathaway, has warned that our long-term trade deficit is resulting in a transfer of American wealth which cannot be sustained. He warns that we will have spent through the accumulated investment of wealth within the current generation, leaving our descendents with nothing but debt.
Bananaphone spews:
Thankfully, the caller is no longer teaching transvestites how to do their makeup-his admission on the radio of one of his clients is not what I would describe as “discretion”, even if the guy is dead now.
And GBS, please stop using the words “fag” and “faggot”. It’s offensive and uncalled for.

Blue John spews:
Here’s an odd question. What is a progressive?
I know what a conservative is. It has many flavors. The social conservative that is pro family, anti abortion, hates gays and interracial marriage. The fiscal conservative that wants a balanced budget, and living with our financial means. The corporate conservative that wants no corporate taxes, or unions, or rules that hinder a corporation from doing what ever makes a profit. The security conservative that is for strong military and and a dictator president.
But what does a progressive stand for? What are progressive values?
– Do not support stupid wars that are not in the US’s self interest, like WW2.
– Protectionist, not free trade
– Pro Union.
– Pro environment, so we have clean air, clean water, and snail darters even if it means costing jobs.
What did I miss? Snarky or real?

Are the democrats giving up on their “green” convention? It appears global warming isn’t a real concern to democrats.
Just like when you compare the homes of bush and gore, the bush home is green friendly. The gore castle has a big carbon footprint. The democrats talk the talk but somehow always have excuses why they can’t walk the walk.
I’m sure gore buys carbon offsets, just like kobe bryant bought his wife a big diamond after screwing some chick in colorado.
Of course, the rich elite will never have to cut back on their pollution since they can pay for diamonds, er, carbon offsets. Like most democrat policies, poor blacks will be hurt the most. Typical.

At Least 900 Officers To Help At DNC
Anybody want to make a bet about the political leanings of the protesters? Want to bet they are left of center?
And rightfully so, the city of denver is worried about violence and damage.
How many times do republicans protest? And when they do, do they resort to the same kind of violence and damage that the left routinely does?
It’s going to be a fun convention. No fried foods. A city that deported the homeless. All the global warming. And sitting back watching the extreme-left protest the far-left.
Priceless.
Politically Incorrect spews:
rhp6033,
The problem with the inheritance tax is that, because of inflation, it effects middle class people who have no chance of setting-up some dynastic wealth scheme. If we must have an inheritance tax (and I don’t support one), the tax should allow at least $1 billion in wealth to pass from generation to generation without tax. This amount should be indexed, say every 5 years, to keep up with systemic inflation.
With $1 billion (as indexed) allowed to be passed tax free from generation to generation, family businesses and farms should pass intact. There’s no sense destroying a family business or farm for the sake of taxes.
Bill Gates’ dad and Bill can do whatever they choose with their money, but allow others to pass their estates to their heirs without government interference.

That link didn’t say anything about a protest. So what if ron paul holds his own convention.
Left-leaning protest groups are talking about protesting denver. Of course the city of denver is aware and is taking steps.
How bad is it? The aclu is suing the city of denver to find out what kind of weapons they plan on using on civilians. Like I’ve said many times, in cities under democrat control are the worst cases of abuse atthe hands of government employees.

What’s wrong with protesters? We have the right to freedom of assembly and speech. Why not use it?
The left tends to use their right to speech and assembly to let folks know how they feel and to create a better world. The right, on the other hand, tends to defer to power and not use their right to speech and assembly.
Maybe, Marv’s just jealous?

I don’t think I’m winning arguments here, most regulars here already have their minds made up. Made valid points, of course I have. Have I thrown trash against the wall, yup, and thankfully you and steve keep replying.
Yeah, you were offended when he wrote you habored some racist tendencies. You were pissed, you were insulted. So of course like any good republican you retaliated. Called him racist and ran to your blog posting about it.
Of course you’re laughing, but the joke is really on you. I think byebyegoop is a twit. Do you see me replying to every post of his, unable to control myself? But something about you and steve just needs to reply to me.
Good one. You’re the man lee.
I think I saw the first one. After seeing all the other “gotcha” posts of yours about those you don’t agree with I felt sorry for you and didn’t want to visit your site again.
Great to hear your pages are at the top of the search, I hope you’re making some $. If not, you are just advertising for free to the world, or at least people searching for marvin stamm and not knowing how to spell his name, that you spend your time making fun of others.

But to the Obama campaign, Cleland has another qualification: Registered lobbyist.
So Cleland — despite his iconic status — was abruptly disinvited from appearing with Obama in Atlanta July 8, three sources familiar with the incident said.
“This was a hard decision regarding Senator Cleland,” said Obama’s deputy campaign manager, Steve Hildebrand, in an email. He cited Obama’s policy of banning lobbyists from participating in fundraising or giving money.
