Looks like there’s at least a chance we’ll finally shut down this Bible-thumpin, right wing idiot.
Mr Stupid: The one time I can agree with you. His 700 club programs are barely watchable.
I stated many times on ASSWipes I don’t like Pat Robertson. Just like I’ve said repeatedly I don’t agree with Ted, Jesse, Al, Jimmy, and others. So you can deliver you bile and invective towards someone else on the right.
Cute video. We finally have the answer as to why the Mr. Rove won’t testify under oath.
I suppose that it might also be a bit of a problem for him to say “I swear to tell the truth”, when every time he says it, lightning strikes him, and he is forced to assume his true form, complete with horns and pitchfork. This may be why the President insists that no cameras be present.
Mr. Gonzales’ problems aren’t so severe. He should be ok, as long as there are no garlic or mirrors in the room, and he uses plenty of sunscreen.
We watched “A Few Good Men” last night on cable. Putting aside the realization that Tome Cruise seems to have turned out to be the same snot-nosed jerkoff in real life that he’s played in this and a number of other flicks, the story resonates a little differently now than it did in 1992. Two Marines being railroaded for participating in a prohibited “disciplinary action” ordered by a senior officer, that results in a death, seems eerily prophetic. Now, 15 years later, lots and lots of nasty things, that we like to think “Americans just don’t do” are being done in an absurd war, and the blame invariably being placed on the shoulders of the grunts.
The movie points up the paradox in military organization and discipline where the individual is duty-bound both to follow orders and to do what’s right. The subsequent course of events has shown that the question is anything but hypothetical.
The reason I made the statement above about Tom Cruise that the trolls will most likely concentrate on the issue of his character, and “Hollywood freaks” in general, to discredit the message of the movie itself, or my thoughts concerning it.
Hey, Goldy…I know you have to pay for this here thing, but the Google ad that keeps popping up offering email subscriptions to Ann Coulter’s column is pretty kinky.
Yep I think Osama is the Democrats main man, or is it spelled Obama. Well two peas from the same pod!!!!!
Presidential hopeful Sen. Barack Obama has been attracting plenty of support from the left, but that enthusiasm doesn’t extend to many on the far left – the socialists.
“A more careful examination of [Obama’s] politics reveals a mainstream corporate politician who behind skillful rhetoric about ‘change’ and ‘vision’ makes a calculated effort to appeal to the corporate elite, the media, and the Hollywood liberals,” Alan Jones writes for the Web site SocialistAlternative.org.
Jones notes that Obama opposed the invasion of Iraq when he was a state senator in Illinois. But after his election to the Senate in 2004, Obama voted along with the Democratic Party leadership for all military appropriation bills to fund the war.
Jones also charged Obama with endorsing cuts in welfare spending that “have devastated entire poor communities, especially predominantly black and Latino urban centers.”
And Obama’s call for a “phased redeployment” of U.S. troops in Iraq is a strategy that “will lead to more war, death, and destruction” in Iraq, said Jones, who concludes: “Iraq is a quagmire, the trade deficit and foreign debt are exploding, good jobs are getting destroyed, the environment is faced with a colossal disaster, and the private system of health care is bankrupting both working people and the country.
“On all the key issues, the policies promoted by Barack Obama – behind a façade of ‘new ideas’ – do not in any way represent anything more than a skillful repackaging of the kind of policies that have caused the crisis working people face.”
Chant corruption over and over
The American voter is about to deliver an amazing margin to Democrats – anti war and ANTI corruption
Is there a Dino tie????Abramhoff- Bush – Cunningham

John Barelli what say you about your lost of Freedoms because Bush is President and the Governor (Queen) is changing your driver license shortly? Yep John she sold you down the river and they will be able to ID at the Border. Oh she didn’t say which border, but will test it in Seattle where Osama bin Laden was last seen with Jimmy McDermott. Hey Roger check out your social security card does it say”For Social Security and Tax purposes-NOT FOR IDENTIFICATION”? Well I do believe your Democrat friends made those changes back in the Sixties. You do remember LBJ your friend that sent you to Viet Nam.
New driver’s license OK’d for border
Gregoire signs test program to allow non-passport travel
http://seattlepi.nwsource.com/.....der24.html
May these gates never be closed,” Gregoire said, quoting a phrase inscribed on the Peace Arch, built in Blaine in 1921 as a monument to world peace and the openness of the U.S.-Canadian border on which it rises.
The agreement allows state residents to apply for the $40 voluntary driver’s license, which will be loaded with proof of citizenship and other information, beginning January 2008. It is in effect until at least June 2009, the deadline imposed by Homeland Security’s Western Hemisphere Travel Initiative. As early as January 2008, that initiative may require presentation of a valid U.S. passport or another Department of Homeland Security-approved document by U.S. citizens re-entering the U.S. by land or sea, including ferries, from Canada, Mexico, Central and South America, the Caribbean or Bermuda.
The “enhanced” driver’s license created by Gregoire’s pilot program could serve as a passport-alternative if approved by Homeland Security. Gregoire said the program would be self-supporting financially, relying on the $40 fee to offset the costs of implementation.
Several Christian evangelical groups say the national ID numbers mandated by Congress represent the Bible’s “mark of the beast” – the number 666 associated with the godless.
The federal Real ID Act will standardize state drivers licenses and link them to corresponding national ID numbers by 2009, and the ID cards will be required to board an airplane or enter a federal building.
But the Christian groups fear that persons assigned a national ID number will be “marked” as prophesied in the Bible’s book of Revelation.
Their concern is that the number-based ID system will eventually spread throughout the world and be used by a global dictator – the antichrist – who will control international trade with the ID numbers, the St. Louis Post-Dispatch reports.
“This is getting treacherously close to prophecy in the scripture,” said Irvin Baxter Jr., founder of End times Ministries in Dallas, whose group has distributed thousands of copies of its monthly magazine and brochures to legislators.
According to Craig Treadwell, Baxter’s national radio talk-show co-host, some evangelicals are worried that anyone “marked” with a number “will be lost for eternity” and won’t be raised to heaven after the second coming of Christ.
Missouri State Rep. Jim Guest has sponsored a bill exempting the state from compliance with the Real ID Act, and the measure was overwhelmingly passed by the Missouri House. It is now in the state Senate.
He said he has received hundreds of phone calls, e-mails, and letters from constituents concerned about biblical prophecies coming true if the ID program is put in place.
“People are genuinely worried about it,” he told the Post-Dispatch. “These are people who believe that a national ID number symbolizes something religiously evil.”
I am not so confidant. Bush is leaving a horrible legacy and it is not clear to me that the Democrats are ready to take up the challenge. Chuck Hagel will not be the next President, but the public is as close to his views as it is to Hillary’s.
What are the REAL threats of the right wing in the USA?
Is the Democratic Party really able to take on these challenges?
1. Classism: Reward the rich, build a world economy, export jobs whilem retaining capital.
Classism is NOT limited to the Publican party. Just try revising the tax code to balance wealth with income. Can anybody here spell death tax or WA state income tax?
Al Gore is doing many wonderful things, but would he be willing to give up his estate and live a more modest life so that others can go to college?
2. Education: The USA is the ONLY major country that makes education expensive. Not only that, we also have developed a unionized teacher core that insists on dumbed down curriculum … exept in the special schools for the upper classes.
Which part is more likely to support national standards?
3. Health Care: We spend twice as much for our health care and get no better results overall for the population (classism again). We can not fix this without fixing the classist tax system.
Is either party willing to take on the oncoming issue of paying for Medicare?
4. Immigration: Errr ahhh .. who is the “liberal” here??? Bush, Kennedy, and McCain or ??? What is liberal anyway? Bringing in a large corps of slave labor? Compensating for our fucked up education system by brian draining India???
Do you know any Dems who support a strict immigration policy? Or one bent toward our real needs as an employer? Or one that demands Americans (a labor draft) take jobs?
And how many Dems are ready to deal with the sort of ethnic issues that have arisen in Europe? Can we be tolerant of the Isam described by Ayaan Horsi Ali? Are we ready t legalize polygamy? Female (voluntary) subjugation?
5. Gay “Marriage”: I have no idea what Bushie believes really, but I do know that most Americans want equal rights for sig. others but NOT doing away with the term marriage. Are Democrats as tied up in jargon as Publicans?
Is the party of Bill Clinton ready t declare that there is no special realtionship between a Man and a Woman?
6. Affirmative Action: Has any Democrat notices that the average skin tone in the Bush White House is rather err ahhh dark?
Clarence Thomas SHOULD have taught Dems a lesson … skin color is a lousy measure not only of competence but of ethnic identity. Is the Democratic party ready to divest itself of Farrakhan and Sharpton? 7. The Draft and Taxes: Bush has done huge damage to our national security. We may well need a draft now to deal with this and the taxes t support a draft. The middle class rules the ballot box and the upper class fuels the political campaigns!
Pogo said, “We have met the enemy and he is us!”
Yes, Bill Mahar. He and Ann Coulter. You have your we have ours!
ArtFart @ 5 and 6
Underscoring your point is the fact that the JAG attorney who inspired the Cruise character in A Few Good Men, David Iglesias, is one of the 8 US Attorneys Bush recently fired. Nothing frightens the Bushites more than people with integrity, character, and independence. The sad irony is that there is not a dime’s worth of difference between the loyalty which the Bushites demand and that which Saddam demanded of the Baathists.
Here’s something most of you fucking losers ESPECIALLY ROGER RABBIT will never get to.

U.S. Attorneys: It has always been the custom for an incoming president to “accept resignations” (fire) all the U.S. Atorneys from all districts when he comes into office, which is the source of the “Clinton fired all 93” meme. So why doesn’t someone say that Bush did the same thing? Or was there one Clinton appointee so far to the right that Bush kept him on?
What gives?
I know Kate Pflaume was Clinton’s appointee here, and Bush replaced her with John McKay, before he fired McKay for having too much integrity.
Charlie …
The issue here is NOT simply law, it is the public trust. Investigating the other guys is OK, as long as it does not appear to be the reason we have a justice dept.

Somehow, that just warms my old heart.
#26 PelletHead, you being one of the irreligious here wouldn’t know Billy Graham if he walked up, shook your hand, and said hello.
Wasn’t Ted Bundy your distant cousin?
@15 Hey redneck, explain to me how that gal “worked” for her money. In her case, the magic formula was “luck” — working for the right company, having stock options, etc.
I don’t see why ANYONE should work in our economy. Employers pay next to nothing for WORK. Government taxes work at two to three times the rate that lucky stock market windfalls are taxed. And, of course, if you inherit a million dollars you pay absolutely nothing on your lucky income.
Yes, the key to success in today’s America is being a lucky bastard, and working is for losers. So I don’t work. I sit here on my fat bunny ass watching my stock portfolio go up every time redneck goes to the gas station for another fillup.
Thanks for your business, redneck! I appreciate your patronage. Really, I do. Now pay your gambling debt, loser.

Of all the wingnut bullshit posted on this board, this myth is one of the funniest! I’ll tell you what “hard work” gets you in THEIR world: $2.13 an hour (before taxes).
PelletHead proves the adage again: If you are from the libtard persuasion, reading ain’t fundamental!
“Weese, 51, of Atlanta, credits her good financial fortune to good-paying jobs and windfalls when and, later, when it was taken over by a bigger insurer. Still, Weese worries about how far the money will go.”
Don’t get me wrong, folks. I think hard work is virtuous. Unfortunately, it doesn’t pay anything anymore. It’s another of those time-honored American virtues, like honesty and truthfulness, that Republicans have flushed down the toilet. Work is no longer honored or respected in our society, nor does it pay, in this new Robber Baron era. You don’t get money anymore by working for it. And that’s too bad. It’s one of many things we liberals intend to change.
Weese, 51, of Atlanta, credits her good financial fortune to good-paying jobs and windfalls when her startup insurance company went public and, later, when it was taken over by a bigger insurer. Still, Weese worries about how far the money will go.
Looks like I messed up the boldenings!
I’ll go back to work when it’s worth my while, and not before! Meanwhile, I’m living off redneck’s gasoline purchases.
JSA in Vancouver: All that hard work you are doing in Vancouver BC is no longer respected per PelletHead. You are a robber baron, per PelletHead.
PelletHead, just admit it, she shouldn’t be a $MM because she didn’t pay enough taxes!
@34 Really, now, pudwhacker — how much of her million bucks do you think came from after-tax wages, and how much do you think came from HER COMPANY GOING PUBLIC? Think carefully before you answer; and especially think carefully about how the current administration distributed tax cuts between capital gains and wages.
Let’s see. The people who won big on their stock options got their taxes cut by 200% or 300%. Wage earners got their taxes cut by 5% to 10%. Like I said — why the fuck should anyone work? The real estate flipper who sold Sharansky his Green Lake shack made as much in six months (with no effort) as the average working joe clears after taxes in 20 years. The Republicans running our country treat workers like dirt under their shoes while CEOs who lose money for their shareholders throw $2 million birthday bashes for themselves. Obviously, our value system has gotten seriously out of kilter since the GOP (Greedy Old Plutarchs) stole our government from the people.
Hey Moonbat!s since you are all in a tizzy: Why not start addressing what “partisan activities” did the other 85 attorneys engage in in order to keep their jobs?
Nothing there on either side of the issue! Just more let’s make some noise if you are a Moonbat!
But we liberals are going to fix that, along with a lot of other things. This country has no problems that can’t be solved by putting all the corrupt, greedy, thieving Republicans in jail.
Under a Democratic president, a willingness to prosecute thieves will be a hiring criterion, not a firing criterion.
PelletHead, I don’t care what she made or how she made it as long as it was legal. I say good for her for thinking about a business that was not only lucrative but was an apple being plucked by others!
That’s the difference between you and me. You are all about class warfare! I am not. Can you dig it? What if she is a Moonbat! just not as loony as you?
@40 If you check their records, you’ll probably find an absence of prosecutions of Republican crooks in their districts.
@38 I didn’t say that, pudwhacker. What I’m saying is nobody gets to be a millionaire by working for $2.13 an hour, or by paying 3 times as much taxes on their wages as she paid on her capital gains. Under this GOP regime, you can’t become a millionaire by working hard for an employer and saving your wages. Working is not a route to wealth, so why should anyone work? If you don’t want to eat dog food in your retirement, you’re better off spending your time on stock picking or flipping real estate than holding down a wage job. That’s all I’m saying, pudwhacker.
@38 I don’t say why she should pay 1/3 as much taxes on her stock option windfall as jsa pays on his wages. Capital gains should be taxed at exactly the same rate as wages. I see absolutely no reason why wage earners should pay higher taxes to subsidize lower taxes for investors.
It’s immoral to tax wages at a higher rate than stock market winnings are taxed.
And it’s immoral to tax wages at a higher rate than inheritances are taxed! Heirs get a $2.5 million exemption before they pay any taxes; wage earners get about $7,500 of exemption before they’re taxed. That’s absurd! It should be the other way around, because working is more valuable to society than sitting on your ass cashing an inheritance check that the heir did absolutely nothing to earn or deserve.
#45 Said “I think hard work is virtuous. Unfortunately, it doesn’t pay anything anymore. It’s another of those time-honored American virtues, like honesty and truthfulness, that Republicans have flushed down the toilet. Work is no longer honored or respected in our society, nor does it pay, in this new Robber Baron era.”
I countered with JSA. He is employing time-honored American virtues. I work hard for my money too. Yet we’re called robber barons! Not my words PelletHead, yours! Have you ever installed a 3000+ node network? Didn’t think so. I bet you had help installing your cable modem!
Where did you mention #2.13/hr until just now!
Under any administration how can the average joe or jane become a $MM? Another worthless Bullshittium argument from PelletHead!
@29 Yes, I’m religious — I believe in the Great Mother Rabbit Spirit who put me here and guides my actions down moral and upright paths!
As for my family tree, go take another look at Ted Bundy’s mug shots. See any long pointy ears? Does he have a cottontail sticking out of his drawers? A little black nose with whiskers that twitches in the breeze? No. You are a fucking dolt!
The GMRS does say I swear too much. I just shrug and tell Her, “what the hell; Ma, nobody is perfect.”
#48: Inheritances. Why not call Patty Murray (the smartest senator alive), and suggest she submits a bill to make inheritances retroactively taxable? Be sure to insert the Kennedy Poison Clause to make their inheritances doubly taxed from $100,000 and above. Then go to Warren Buffet. Then Jim Bernhard of the Shaw Group. How about those Heinz Ketchup Millions. Yeah tax them too. How about the Hollyweird elites? Need to tax dem $MM.
Since PeleltHead likes Class Warfare, we need to insure the rich Dem classes pay their fair share!
@19 Bush did do the same thing, Charlie, and no one is comnplaining about that. Since U.S. Attorneys serve at the president’s pleasure, no one is complaining about him firing 8 U.S. Attorneys per se, either.
The issue here is whether the impartial administration of justice is being corrupted by political interference. The issue is whether the federal power of prosecution is being misused to persecute political opponents by bringing malicious prosecutions against them. The issue is whether the president and attorney general are violating their oaths of office and obstructing justice by ordering federal prosecutors not to prosecute GOP corruption, or interfering with investigations of GOP crooks.
If that’s what they’re doing, it’s an impeachable offense and a prosecutable felony crime.
@53 Don’t you just love it when Republicans wage class warfare against the working class, then complain that the working class is waging “class warfare” against the rich if they complain about it.
Yep, there was a hell of a lot of class warfare by the serfs against the nobles back in the Middle Ages! Every time the peasants complained about the latest tax increase, crop levy, or army conscription — they were waging class warfare against the carriage-and-powdered-wigs set!
I’ll tell you what real class warfare is, puddinghead. Real class warfare is Louis XVI and Marie Antoinette climbing the scaffold steps to the guillotine. You fuck with the peasants long enough, that’s where it leads. Comprende?
You wanna see class warfare? Bolshevik firing squads. That’s class warfare. Push people hard enough, and that’s what you get. Some people don’t know when to quit.
For example, people who want to knock the minimum wage down to $2.13 an hour and empty the waitress tip jar into their own pockets. That’s class warfare.
Why not start addressing what “partisan activities” did the other 85 attorneys engage in in order to keep their jobs?
PUDDYFOOL YOU’VE WALLOWING IN THE WINGNUT ECHO CHAMBER TOO MUCH LATELY. THAT HAS BEEN ADDRESSED.
THE ATTORNEYS WHO HAVE KEPT THEIR JOBS ARE ON PARTISAN WITCHHUNTS DIRECTED AGAINST THE DEMOCRATIC PARTY.
Any time a Republican starts flinging around the term “class warfare,” you’d better put your hand into your pocket and hold on tight to your wallet.
I work hard for my money too. Yet we’re called robber barons!

Wow Clueless, you are in full vehement form today. Your response reminds me of the early teen types on MySpace. All blather with no lather!
The discussion was regarding the lady who became a $MM from the MTRK post. Naturally PelletHead couldn’t find any fault with the post except her becoming a $MM for an idea she cultivated and it was purchased because someone thought her idea was worth $MM.
But not to Clueless or PelletHead. She’s a robber baron.

Puddybud @
“Wrong Chuckie! Clinton was the first. You need to get your facts straight. Reagan didn’t. Carter didn’t.”
Time to get your meds adjusted Pudstorama. You’re slipping back into shill-wingnuttery gibberish mode.
From Faux News:
Faux News gets it right overall, but wrong in the details. The truth is slightly more complicated and is nicely documented in a LA Times article:
Although figures are not provided, this pattern has likely been true for all recent administrations in which a party change occurred. E.g.
But, the issue at present is about intra-term changes in attorneys who were originally selected by the Bush administration. Such firings may be a form of coercion that threatens the integrity of federal prosecutions.
In addition to wondering who his wife is fucking tonight, Puffybutt wants to know what partisan activities the US Attorneys have engaged in. Well Puffybutt, thanks to the Democratic Majority, you’re about to find out. And I’m quoting Billy Jack here, “There’s not a damn thing you can do about it.”
Ahhh Darryl: Seems to smack into the fact of WSJ.
http://www.opinionjournal.com/.....=110009784
“At the time, President Clinton presented the move as something perfectly ordinary: “All those people are routinely replaced,” he told reporters, “and I have not done anything differently.” In fact, the dismissals were unprecedented: Previous Presidents, including Ronald Reagan and Jimmy Carter, had both retained holdovers from the previous Administration and only replaced them gradually as their tenures expired. This allowed continuity of leadership within the U.S. Attorney offices during the transition.”

While you are gone Clueless, think about PelletHead’s position. He brought up Robber Barons as a DEFLECTION to the lady who became a $MM. Not my words. You can stick your thumb in PelletHead’s ASS and think you have a snack, but it doesn’t work for me.
I also posted libtard robber barons. Why not address them Clueless? You love to address questions to me because you can’t answer mine!

Oh…, unless, of course, you use Fox News to try and make a puny point.
Puddydope @ 72,
“Seems to smack into the fact of WSJ.”
You REALLY need to learn how to evaluate evidence, Pudster.
The WSJ piece you cited is an opinion piece. The statement made in that opinion piece directly contradicts both Faux News (which only sort-of gets it right) and contradicts a quantitative assessment in the LA Times article:
But, your nonsense claim is simply smoke and mirrors. Whether or not recent presidents replace all or nearly all of their U.S. Attorneys at the start of their term is completely irrelevant. (I.e. doing so is ordinary, expected, and unsurprising, and that some presidents may hold over a couple from a previous administration is not at all relevant.)
The real issue is about corrupting the Justice Department by political firings within an administrations hand-picked U.S. Attorneys. Clinton, Reagan, or Carter did not do that.
Hey moonbats – If dems are so united about iraq because of the “mandate” they were given whyizzit they had to load up the bill with $25B in bribes to get democrats to vote for it.
Some unity…. just good old fashioned political grandstanding and greed…

“Darryl: You used Fox News. How UnLibtard like of you.”
OF COURSE, I used Faux News, you moron! I could have cited a number of other news sources besides Faux, but I was, after all, trying to communicate with a Wingnut dope (i.e. YOU)!
“You just received big time demerits.”
No…I think most anyone realizes that I cited Faux news because I was attemping to penetrate the skull of an IDIOT.
“Oh…, unless, of course, you use Fox News to try and make a puny point.”
Your statement makes no sense whatsoever. What the fuck are you babbling about?
@51 “Richard Pope says: So what Democrats have been the victims of malicious federal prosecutions since January 2001? 03/25/2007 at 2:21 pm”
Not for want of trying, Richard. Let’s review:
1. The GOP spent $2 million on a 2-week trial before a handpicked Republican judge in a forum-shopped Republican county, and the only evidence is fraud was that Dino Rossi got 4 illegal votes.
2. U.S. Attorney John McKay and 4 of his top deputies thoroughly investigated the 2004 election and concluded there was no evidence of fraud.
3. But Evergreen Freedom Foundation’s Bob Williams apparently doesn’t understand the necessity of evidence of wrongdoing before filing criminal charges against someone, because he complained to the White House about McKay’s refusal to prosecute anyone.
4. The BIAW’s Tom McCabe sent thousands of names to McKay alleging absentee ballot signatures were “forged.” McKay turned these over to the FBI, which conducted a thorough investigation and concluded the signatures were “not forgeries.” You can’t prosecute eligible voters for signing their own ballots.
5. But McCabe apparently doesn’t understand that, because he complained to the White House because McKay wouldn’t prosecute anyone.
6. The White House apparently doesn’t understand it, either, because they fired McKay (who, just a few weeks before, was being seriously considered for a federal judgeship).
What we don’t know yet is whether McKay committed insubordination. That is, whether he was ORDERED to file charges against as-yet-unnamed Democrats (although we can surmise that Dean Logan would be high on the list of targeted Democrats, although frankly I think what they really wanted McKay to do was file federal felony charges against Christine Gregoire) despite the lack of evidence.
If he was, crimes were committed. Very serious crimes. The kind of crimes that you not only impeach elected officials for committing, but refer to — yes — U.S. Attorneys for criminal prosecution.
And, of course, procuring false and malicious prosecution against innocent individuals also is a tort. A big-time tort. A multi-million-dollar tort. The kind of legal liability that can bankrupt even a multimillionaire like George W. Bush.
Richard, I know you’re a smart guy. I know you’re a lawyer and understand this stuff. Shilling for the wingnuts on this scandal doesn’t make you look good. It calls into question whether you have good judgment — the kind of good judgment expected of anyone who wants to be elected to a public post, even one paying only $6,000 a year. So, if you still hope to make a public pension part of your retirement plan, you’d better rethink whether the nonsense you’re spewing about this scandal is in your own self-interest. Some of the folks here on HA, me included, still believe that, at times, you’re capable of being a reasonable individual (despite that little deposition incident). Think carefully before you disappoint us … again.
And lay off the helium huffing.
Oh, Darryl, I trust Dow Jones with my news more than anyone else! There is a big difference between firing them on the first day and letting them age out. But to you mighty Darryl, it’s all the same!

Mark might have a point with that statement. I have work hard to reach that point and I sure don’t want to share it with a bunch of dead beats. I don’t mind feeding the ducks and other critters nor throwing a few carrots to the funny rabbit. I find the hardest part is keeping the local government from fleecing me at Starbucks.
But David Bach, author of “The Automatic Millionaire,” points out that “99 percent of Americans don’t have a million dollars — and to them, a million dollars is a fortune.”
His concern is that setting people up to think they can’t have a good life or a comfortable retirement without that kind of money is counterproductive.
“Take a baby boomer who has less than $50,000 in savings — which is what the average baby boomer has — and tell them they need $1 million, you might as well give them a gun and tell them to shoot themselves,” Bach said.
So while Bach thinks $1 million is an achievable goal, he also thinks it shouldn’t be the only goal that’s held out.
“For most people, $50,000 to $100,000 more in savings would change their lives for the better,” he said.
Darryl: Here is the difference between me and you. I look up the data. You have to stop smelling the ASSes.
Look up March 24, 1993. Attorney General Janet Reno demanded resignations from all 93 U.S. attorneys on that date!
http://sweetness-light.com/arc.....s-nyt-1993
Darryl: here it is from the NYT: You can purchase it. I am not doing your DD!
http://select.nytimes.com/gst/.....%2c%20Bill
@98 Pudpacker, here’s the difference between us and you: We know illegal and immoral behavior when we see it.
@95 Republicans just don’t “get it” — on anything! Here’s one of the myriad things they don’t “get”:
“Russert: … You have Sen. John McCain, R-AZ, Sen. Lindsay, Graham, R-SC and Sen. John Warner, R-VA, George W. Bush’ former Secretary of State Colin Powell, and Ronald Reagan’s Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff John Vessey all saying they disagree with President Bush’s attempt to interpret the Geneva Convention regarding the treatment of prisoners. … Because they say if you try to reinterpret the Geneva Convention, it will allow every country around the world to do the same … in a way that could be harmful to American prisoners who were captured.”
(See #95 for link)
Darryl: Selective paragraph picking?
“In 1993, he was the U.S. attorney in Pittsburgh and the liaison between the outgoing George H.W. Bush administration and the incoming Clinton administration. “We had been asking them for months: ‘When do you want our resignations?’ ” he said.
The answer came in a meeting with Webster Hubbell, the associate attorney general, in mid-March. “He said, ‘I have good news and bad news. The good news is the attorney general wants you to stay until your successor is confirmed. The bad news is she wants your resignations by the end of the week,’ ” Corbett said.
He said the demand for resignations by the week’s end was surprising.”
Here are a few more things wingtards don’t “get”:
1. Torture is immoral.
2. People you torture end up hating you.
3. Their families hate you. So do all their friends and relatives.
4. People who hate you are likely to fight against you, even if they weren’t previously disposed to do so.
5. There is no assurance that all of the people you torture have it coming. In fact, it’s a lead-pipe cinch that a large percentage of the people you torture are completely innocent, and have no useful information.
6. People will say anything to get you to stop torturing them, even if they have to make it up.
7. If you torture people who have no useful information, they will give you fictional information that, at a minimum, will induce you to waste effort and resources chasing phantoms, and at worst, may lead you into ambushes and traps.
Of course, don’t expect wingtards to understand any of this; or, even if they did, they would continue torturing innocent people anyway just because they enjoy it.
Because, you see, wingtards are not only stupid, they’re also moral defectives.
Darryl: I am not arguing about Reagan asking for the resignations. They mostly served out their four years as they came in at different times. That’s my point and the point made by the WSJ, but was lost on a “nice person” who sucks as you!
Clinton/Reno made the hard firing date March 24, 1993!
PuddyDope @ 98 and 99,
Yes…if you read the article I linked to earlier, it also mentioned that Reno asked for the resignations at the start of Clinton’s term. That is because that is what happens when there is a party change in the Executive office. All (or nearly all) of the U.S. Attorney’s are asked to resign.
(What would have been unusual would be if Reno had sent a letter telling the US Attorney’s that most of them would be kept on.)
Also, if you read the article I linked to, the U.S. Attorneys were also told they would be kept on until a replacement was found for them. That is what happened with Bush, Reagan, and Carter, too. Hence, the “turnover” at year two:
But, again, what happens at the start of a term is irrelevant. What Bush did was in year 6, when he fired his own appointees. That is unusual, and holds the stench of corruption.
Here is one lost on Fascist PelletHead.
In the 1930s Fascist Nazi Hitler disarmed the populace. The Holocaust took place.
In the 21st Century, Fascist Moonbat! Libtard Democraps want to remove the 2nd Amendment from the Bill of Rights! Next holocaust!
Now, of course, if I was an Iraqi insurgent trying to evict a foreign army from my country, it might occur to me to tell me loyal subordinate, Amed Maki Bombi, that on such-and-so a date we’re going to move a large cache of arms to a “safe house” on such-and-so a street. Then I send him out to the market to buy some bread and dates, knowing full well from my own intelligence sources that the market will be crawling with U.S. soldiers today. Of course Amed gets arrested and hauled off to an interrogation center, where they beat the location of the arms cache out of him. Needless to say, the arms cache doesn’t really exist, but there’s a whole bunch of IEDs planted along the street route to the house. So guess what I’ve told another of my loyal subordinates, Pushti Plunjer Bloowi, to do with the dynamite plunger when the Humvees full of American soldiers show up? Two can play this game, see what I mean?
YOS LIB BRO says:
we need to insure the rich Dem classes pay their fair share!
PUDDBYWHACKO, THE GUIDING PRINICIPLES OF MY AMERICAN LIBERALISM:
1) A LEVEL PLAYING FIELD
2) WE’RE ALL IN THIS TOGETHER.
3) AMERICA IS ABOUT THE MIDDLE CLASS PERIOD. POVERTY EXISTS ONLY AS THE MOST FLEETING OF CIRCUMSTANCES.
EVERYONE WHO BENEFITS FROM GOVERNMENT SERVICES CONTRIBUTES TO THE POT PER THEIR ABILITIES TO DO SO. NO EXCEPTIONS.
YO LIB BRO you seem to forget this country is a Republic not a Socialist one like Canada. If you want a level playing field you should move up north, but you need half million to cross the border today. Otherwise you can swim the Frazer River like your buddies due the Rio Grand into the United States. Another point we are not all in this together you jump ship when you started supporting Osama bin Laden. Another point I would like to make in the Republic of Seattle there is no middle class only the poor and the rich Democrat elitist. Now as far as Government Services that is a big lie and the middle class has been dupe on that by stretch of imagination. There is now way the poor in Seattle will succeed unless they get a good education, and that’s not going to happen as long as the Socialist Democrats run the show.
I wonder how many good American goods have died in Iraq because some idiot contracter-interrogator swallowed whole everything Amed told him?
“kids” not “goods”
Clinton didn’t fire anyone for investigation Democrats.
Clinton didn’t fire anyone for refusing to file false charges against Republicans.
That’s the difference.
“investigating” not “investigation”
PuddyMoron @ 102
Selective picking? No…I presume that when I provide a link to a source I don’t need to quote the entire article in the comment thread.
So, was it selective picking when you stopped just before this paragraph (emphasis added)?
But, again, I point out that nothing of substance is added by dissecting what happens at the start of the President’s term following a party change, since acquiring the resignations of all, or nearly all, U.S. Attorneys is ordinary and expected.
What is unusual is an administration firing their hand-picked attorneys. It stinks!
Flakey klake @108 “YO LIB BRO you seem to forget this country is a Republic not a Socialist one like Canada.”
So that’s how you defend inherited and stolen privilege, klake? That asking for a level playing field or equal opportunity is socialism?
Klake, I’m not even asking for equal opportunity. All I’m asking for is equal tax rates on wages, inheritance, investment income, and capital gains.
And the right to sell our labor collectively, on terms mutually agreed upon by the workers and employer.

Roger where did you get that information?
But I know even that is too much to ask from greedy, selfish Republicans who think they’re entitled to more than their share of the world’s wealth even though they did nothing to earn or deserve it.
Right now, I’ll even settle for equal tax rates on labor, capital, and inherited wealth. Same rates, same exemptions, same deductions, no exceptions. Is that so hard? Why?
@113 “What is unusual is an administration firing their hand-picked attorneys. It stinks!”
Actually, Darryl, it’s not even that — there would be no stink if they had fired them merely because they felt like it. It’s the motive that stinks.
Plus the fact they lied about why they fired them — and also lied about who did the firing — in order to cover up the motive. Because, you see wingnuts, the motive is illegal.
Republicans think they have a license to commit crimes. That’s why the wingnuts defend the criminal actions of the lawless Bush regime. They believe that stealing elections puts them above any laws. The only thing you can do with people like that is tie ’em to a stake and shoot ’em!*
* Just kidding! Bastille Day humor, y’know? Whatsmatter, can’t you wingnuts take a French joke?
Fucking loser rabbit – Capital gains should not be taxed AT ALL. Zero percent.

Puddy, puddy, puddy. You really must learn to read–carefully.
Clinton and Reno did not make “hard firings.” They did ask, early on, for the resignations. But they also told the US Attorneys that they would be retained until their replacements were confirmed. As the process played out, Attorneys were replaced at an identical rate seen in the Bush Jr. and Reagan administrations.
But, I must repeat, again, what happened at the start of an administration is completely irrelevant to the issue that the Congress is currently concerned about. Basically, Pudster, you’ve been hoodwinked by, yet, another empty Wingnut talking point.
Darryl: What is the term of a US Attorney?
Roger Rabbit says:
And tariffs on imported goods that offset the profits from exploiting workers and destroying the environment in foreign countries. Because our workers should not have to compete against Third World wages in a race to the bottom, nor should our consumers export environmental degradation to other countries.
Roger if we didn’t export our steel mills to China we might able to control the environmental problems today. With the Chinese in control of the mills we are helpless in making any useful changes. Now if you want to level the playing field impose the same tariffs and laws on those countries as they do our citizens in their country. Now due you think Seattle will recycle its waste instead of sending their shit to third world countries? Will they recycle all their trash in their own city limits and produce power and fresh water from the process? Will Seattle/King County build rail or monorail lines from the old rail beds left over from the old rail roads? Would Seattle disburse nuclear power stations all over the city like they do in Tokyo today? Last but not least will Seattle/King County cut back useless government programs that produce no viable results? Roger your Socialist Friends have been exporting their problems to other parts of the state or nations just because they don’t want to deal with them.
Good Darryl. So they can be fired at will anytime after right?
KLake: We exported improved rocket telemetry to China under Clinton’s watch and his people approved it. Now the Moonbat! led cities of HON, LA, SF and SEA are in their sights.

PS Roger do you have any evidence that American personnel acquired information in the matter describe above and not been held accountable by the laws of this Nation?
Roger the enemies of this state or nation can turn themselves into the local authorities and confess their sins or they can surrender on the battle field according to the rules of the Geneva Conventions. Roger if they RESIST they will be TERMINATED not kidnap or torture but treated strictly by the Geneva Conventions. Resist also means they are still engage in a deadly battle and refused to surrender. Roger you should know that American Troops are not allowed to kill civilians at will. Now you went to the same classes I did on conflict of war and they don’t encourage abuse of civilians. So you best tell your friends in the Middle East not to engage US troops holding up in mosques, schools, hospitals, and anyplace civilians might get harmed or killed in the crossfire. Roger safety of our troops and the civilians are paramount on our minds but the last though on our enemies. Your friends don’t believe that our troops are doing a great job, and accuse them all chart blanch as members of the evil empire and war atrocities. But they believe that Osama bin Laden builds hospitals, roads, daycare facilities, and educate children of good religious beliefs. Didn’t Patty Murray make a statement along those lines in a school in Vancouver Washington?
Hey Folks what happen to that funny wabbit?
PuddyGoof @ 128
“So they can be fired at will anytime after right? “
Yep. But, nobody disputes the legality of firing a U.S. Attorney.
I realize that subtlety isn’t your strong suit, Pudster, but try to pay close attention… The issue isn’t about legality of firing a political appointee. Rather, it is whether the Bush administration used firings of U.S. Attorneys as a tool to coerce other U.S. Attorney into making politically-motivated, rather than legally-motivated, prosecution decisions.
Roger Rabbit @ 83 @ 3:30 p.m.
That wasn’t the question that I asked. You have presented a theory that John McKay was fired because he refused to commence a federal criminal prosecution that you believe would have been malicious and baseless.
The question I asked was: “So what Democrats have been the victims of malicious federal prosecutions since January 2001?”
I am not looking for a theoretical possibility that McKay’s replacement as U.S. Attorney might file malicious and baseless federal criminal prosecutions against local Democrats.
I am looking for examples of Democrats who have been the victims of malicious and baseless federal criminal prosecutions filed by the “Bush Justice Department” — i.e. at any time from January 20, 2001 to the present date.

Here you go Clueless: PorkBusters.Org
http://porkbusters.org/
Wow Voice of Chalk Scratching has blocked the hose and senate versions of pork spending. Well go to porkbusters since Scratchy voice doesn’t want truths to be told!
88 – IF I READ THAT CHART RIGHT, I SEE 5 MILLION MORE PEOPLE IN POVERTY THAN WHEN BUSH STARTED.
SEEMS RIGHT TO ME.
That’s okay Scratchy Voice. The WaPo tells it true:
http://www.washingtonpost.com/.....01615.html
Oh feckless Clueless: 11 Million more illegal aliens here and only 1 million in poverty? Wow I think GWB did a great job!
PUDDY YOU ARE ONE DESPERATE LIAR. YOU ARE BANKRUPT. ITS ONLY GONNA GET WORSE FOR YOU.
SEE YOU IN 2008.
I’M BORED WITH PUDDYWHACKJOB.
SOMEONE ELSE CAN CARRY THE TORCH.
All this yelling seems futile.
I want to change the focus just a little. Can someone tell me why capital gains should be untaxed?
The usual answer is because capital gains fuel productivity. Is that true? If I invest in gold futures, does thta increase productivity? Or what about investing in a chinese company? Whose productivity?
It seems to me that we should consider a wealth tax. What befit is there to society by Paul Allen owning 7 yachts?
Well, there were too many comments to read on this thread… but damn that video clip was funny.
I smell bacon…
Kyke – It’s none of your fucking business if Paul Allen owns 7 yachts. It’s his money.
Yes, capital gains fuels productivity. And if you knew anything about economics, you’d know that futures are used to protect against price uncertainty. Investing in foreign companies so that they can harvest their competitive advantage reduces prices for everyone and increases wealth on both sides of the deal.
But you don’t know any of this and don’t give a fuck either. You’re just another fucking moonbat loser. Why don’t you take some time and get some of that fancy book larnin’ offered by Producer subsidized schools?
Hymie Cocksucker – Can you give even one example of where your “seems to me” marxist beliefs have EVER been applied successfully?
HEY GOLDY – THE BET WELSHER HAS STEPPED OVER THE LINE. SINCE HE WON’T PAY HIS FUCKING GAMBLING DEBT WHY NOT BAN HIM?
WINGNUTS BRAG ABOUT HOW PRO-JEWISH OR ISRAELI THEY ARE. NOW LOOK WINGNUTS AT THE ANTI-SEMITIC SLURS MTR THROWS AROUND.
WHAT A LOSER. GO AHEAD WINGNUTS. GO AHEAD PUDDY, DOOFUS, KLAKE THE FLAKE, WRONG STUFF, TYPICALLEFTY. SHOW US HOW “PRO-SEMITIC” YOU ARE BY DENOUNCING MTR’S ANTI-SEMITISM.
Mark the Redneck @ 161 and 162,
You have a child-like knowledge of 1970s economic theory. And, you apparently are just shooting in the dark when you talk about “Marxist beliefs.”
Here is a tangible econometric fact: you owe Goldy $100 on a bet that you have failed to honor.
Go the fuck away, moron, until you make good on your bet.
Darryl @ 144, 5:20 p.m.
I have looked at the Shields & Cragan study. Basically, their data set is seriously flawed. They have omitted numerous Republican elected officials who have been convicted and sent to federal prison, or have been serious objects of “investigation” — such as search warrants, seizure of property, or being hauled in front of a grand jury.
At the same time, almost anything qualifies for Shields & Cragan to call an “investigation” of a Democratic elected official. They simply have to think that the “feds” might question or inquire about a Democratic official to say that they were “investigated”.
I used to live in Louisiana, and still follow news and politics down there. The U.S. Attorney in Eastern Louisiana had a investigation called “Operation Wrinkled Robe” into judicial corruption in Jefferson Parish, Louisiana. This investigation targeted crooked judges and officials, both Republicans and Democrats. In fact, several of the people targeted were Republicans who I worked with in politics down there 25 years ago.
Two district judges (the equivalent of our superior court) in Jefferson Parish — Republican Ronald D. Bodenheimer and Democrat Alan Green — were indicted, convicted, and sentenced to federal prison for various corruption charges. However, their data table lists only Green, and omits Bodenheimer.
As for “investigated”, at least four other judges were subpoenaed and called before the federal grand jury in “Operation Wrinkled Robe” — appeals judge Susan Chehardy, district judges Kernan “Skip” Hand and Steve Windhorst, and justice of the peace Steve Mortillaro. I know Hand and Mortillaro are Republicans (they were 25 years ago also), and am not sure about Windhorst and Chehardy (they were Democrats 25 years ago, but many Louisiana politicians have switched parties since then to the Republicans). None of these judges are listed in their data table. (Mortiallaro recently resigned from office after state judicial ethics probe was started — I am disappointed to find out that Steve might be a crook.)
I was also interested in the Washington section of their data table. Only three elected officials were listed for our entire state, all present or former Democratic members of the Seattle City Council — Heidi Wills, Judy Nicastro, and Jim Compton.
However, I cannot find any evidence whatsoever that our local U.S. Attorney’s Office (led until recently by John McKay, one of the eight recent “removals”) ever investigated Wills, Nicastro, and Compton for anything. These people didn’t commit any crime. They did violate some Seattle ethics rules, and received fines from the Seattle Ethics and Election Commission for some improper ex-parte contacts and free dinners from the owners of a strip club with a rezoning application that was before the Seattle City Council.
The only criminal investigation was for state crimes by the King County Prosecuting Attorney, and did not involve Wills, Nicastro, and Compton. Instead, the local prosecutor was looking at whether the strip club owner had illegally given campaign contributions to these council members, by laundering it through third parties. Four people were eventually charged and are now pending trial in state court on these allegations.
Shields and Cragan have listed no one else for the state of Washington. However, Republican Spokane Mayor Jim West (since deceased) was “investigated” by the FBI for public corruption charges in a major way — his home searched and his computers seized in August 2005, before being cleared in February 2006 of any federal criminal wrongdoing. West was pretty infamous — the voters recalled him from office in December 2005 for “misusing his office as mayor to lure teenage boys for sexual relationships”. Basically, Washington’s answer to Mark Foley. However, West is not included in their data table.
(Oh, and speaking of former Republican Congressman Mark Foley of Florida — he is nowhere to be found on their data table either. The FBI and Justice Department are “investigating” Foley to determine if he broke any federal laws in his page scandal.)
161 and 162 .. a pair of goyem
Well, thank you for pointing out that I am a Jew. Without out us, where would folks like you be?
Well, lets see .. yes Paul bught his yachts with his money, just like Tony Soprano, Jack Abramhoff, and the assorted neocapitalist, ex marxist commissars in the FSU and People’s Republic. Ossession is 90% of the law!
And yes, these yachtem (Jewish for yachts) add a lot ot American productivity, esp. as they cruise the Med.
As for futures, we are all for the future and yes, risk should earn interest. But tell me Bubbela (Jewish for little boobs or old grand mother, you pick) how investment in Gold benefits society more than, err ahhh investment in the track?
Did my little goyem want examples where planned societies have succeeded? Hmmm … Sweden, Roosevelt, and modern China??? BTW, which economy is doing better Cuba or Nicaragua?
Oh, could y’all do me a favor? Look at you wallet .. the money there is Fed Notes! Socialism run amuck, the govmnt printing money!
Look, meine kinder (German and Jewish as a put down to call adults kids) there are many ways to earn money, one of which is wages. Do you really believe we should tax wages higher than all other ways of earning money?
OK. Now another challenge:
The Publicans want to be seen as defenders of faith. I assume tis means Christian faith? What is the Publican view on Mormonism? Are you ready for a polytheistic President? Is it try,as one Pubican said, that all that matter sis that the Prexy be a prayer filled man? How about praying to Shiva or Ganesh???
Tank you again. Come visit my blog (same name) and spew some of your wisdom!
Darryl:
Mr. Redneck crossed the line between “conservative” and “far-right whack job” long ago. He’s shown himself to be hostile to liberals (no surprise there), women, Jews, Christians, blacks, Muslims, Native Americans, immigrants (legal or otherwise), most Republicans, all Democrats, and I’m sure a few other categories that I missed along the way.
About the only group he hasn’t managed to attack is neo-Nazi skinheads. Readers may decide for themselves whether that has any meaning.
He has made several claims about his profession and qualifications he holds, but so far he’s been shown to be lying on everything except the vaguest of those claims.
My impression is that he’s actually a fifteen year old kid with a bad case of acne, and his parents leave him alone way too often, so he comes here for attention.
Does anyone here know anything that would tend to disprove that opinion?
just like Tony Soprano?
Wow we’re into fantasyland now.
As for you Clueless: If 11 Million illegal aliens are KNOWN to be in the US and the poverty line just includes 1 Million more, you be smoking some crack huh Clueless? Numbas jis ain’t yo stile!
Yutzi – Sweden, Cuber, China, Nigadagwa (moonbat pronunciation) …take yer pick loser. Those are all wonderful garden spots of earth.
Take your greedy marxist shit there and never come back. Take barelli with you.
Hey Rabbit – Since you spend 1/3 of your “income” on medical, I surprised you didn’t die because of the dogfood problem this week.
How did you avoid it? Or do you eat that high class stuff?
BTW, which economy is doing better Cuba or Nicaragua? To what? What is your yard stick?
“Nicaragua, the second poorest country in the Western Hemisphere, has low per capita income and widespread underemployment. Distribution of income is one of the most unequal on the globe. While the country has progressed toward macroeconomic stability in the past few years, GDP annual growth has been far too low to meet the country’s needs, forcing the country to rely on international economic assistance to meet fiscal and debt financing obligations. Nicaragua qualified in early 2004 for some $4.5 billion in foreign debt reduction under the Heavily Indebted Poor Countries (HIPC) initiative and in November 2006 obtained over $800 million in debt relief from the Inter-American Development Bank. In October 2005, Nicaragua ratified the US-Central America Free Trade Agreement (CAFTA), which will provide an opportunity for Nicaragua to attract investment, create jobs, and deepen economic development. Energy shortages, however, are a serious bottleneck to growth.”
“The government continues to balance the need for economic loosening against a desire for firm political control. It has rolled back limited reforms undertaken in the 1990s to increase enterprise efficiency and alleviate serious shortages of food, consumer goods, and services. The average Cuban’s standard of living remains at a lower level than before the downturn of the 1990s, which was caused by the loss of Soviet aid and domestic inefficiencies. Since late 2000, Venezuela has been providing Cuba oil on preferential terms, and it currently supplies about 98,000 barrels per day of petroleum products. Cuba has been paying for the oil, in part, with the services of Cuban personnel, including some 20,000 medical professionals. In 2006, high metals prices continued to boost Cuban earnings from nickel and cobalt production. Havana continued to invest in the country’s energy sector to mitigate electrical blackouts that have plagued the country since 2004.”
Ummm… Neither NEXT!
Since you libtards seem to like Cuba, emigrate there! I’ll purchase the one way ticket and ensure the US Marshall allow you to go FOREVER!
Hello Moonbat!s:
Before you say MTRK has crossed the line: I remember some September 2005 invective slung my way by racist headlice loocie. I know you all remember them!
Nary a peep from you complaining libtards then.
Clueless you were MUTE then as you are now. Nothing coming from your way makes any sense anyway.
Darryl, mock indignation? waaaaaa haaaaaa haaaaaa!
John Barelli, I don’t rememba if U’s wuz here den. But if u wuz where wuz yer voice?
So who am I to criticize MTRK. Hey, as many of you didn’t say be omission, it’s free speech!
@167 “My impression is that he’s actually a fifteen year old kid with a bad case of acne, and his parents leave him alone way too often, so he comes here for attention. Does anyone here know anything that would tend to disprove that opinion?”
All the available evidence suggests he’s thirteen, not fifteen.
@167 I do think he has a dead crack-whore and a kid, though. They marry young in the Ozarks.
Actually, Puddybud, a good argument can be made that the US Government has been the best friend Castro could ask for.
So, our embargo gives Castro a built-in excuse for his failures, while gaining him the sympathy of everyone that doesn’t like us (a rapidly growing list over the last few years).
Of course, this is a case where the Republicans can legitimately claim that “Clinton did it too”. Bad policy is bad policy, regardless of which party carries it out.
@170 “Mark The Redneck KENNEDY says: Hey Rabbit – Since you spend 1/3 of your ‘income’ on medical, I surprised you didn’t die because of the dogfood problem this week. How did you avoid it? Or do you eat that high class stuff?

I dine on high-class park grass, and garden lettuce when available! WTF do you assume I eat dog food? DOG FOOD for chrissakes??! However, I may be heading to the veterinary hospital tonite or tomorrow, as I have developed acute pain in my lower torso approximately where the appendix and kidney are located. At first I thought it was muscle strain from — you know — bunny making activities. However, it’s getting worse and not going away, and given where it’s located, it may be wise to have Dr. Doom make the diagnosis instead of trying to self-diagnose. So, if I disappear from HA for a couple days, I may be in the bunny hospital. Thanks for your concern, redneck, and fuck you anyway. Pay your gambling debt.
Puddy – Shit…libruls have CORNERED the market on racism. They don’t see people. They see groups.
And that hymie cocksucker is a fucking idiot for suggesting that a marxist “wealth tax” is a good idea. And then suggest that my knowledge of economics is wrong and that marxism is some kinda new idea whose time has come. That’s a good one.
Puddy – Here are some quotes thrown your way here at HA:
“Black people can be stressful to be around 24/7. Believe me , I know.” Commentby headless lucy— 9/16/05@ 10:12 pm
Thanks Cynical though for your help with the Negro problem.

I’m an old rabbit with lots of health “issues” and might get called up to the Great Meadow In the Sky on short notice. So, just as a routine precaution, I’m posting my last will and testament here on HA this afternoon. In case something happens to me, here is my final earthly wish:
GO FUCK YOURSELF, REDNECK!!!
And you too, pud pounder.
See the House Pork: Since Voice of Chalk Scratching wants to hide the Moonbat! Pork from view, I guess I’ll have to post it! We always knew the Moonbat!s were the real oinkers!
President Bush requested $103 billion in emergency spending for operations in Iraq and Afghanistan and disaster relief.
http://www.cagw.org/site/News2.....8;id=10570 House Pork!
http://www.cagw.org/site/News2.....8;id=10590 Senate Pork!
John Barelli: I was a little kid during the CMC under JFK. I do remember poppa worrying if he’d have to wear a uniform again! He was a WWII vet Pacific Theatre. Had a Purple Heart. Anyway what was done to Cuba was “fixed” by de Soviets. But, when they left, the great communist experiment was a failure. Sure Batista was a scumbag too but people who remember Cuba then said it was a fun place.
I’m sorry but I can’t see how you support a person vowed to destroy your country!
MTRK: Yes, I have a plethora of them I repost as needed. But then again, if I forget them, I have the skillz to research them on the ‘Net!
So all this holier than thou act by the ‘Tards is funny!
Moonbat!s:
Did you determine the difference between a field n—-r and a house n—-r yet?
Well I was told I would be forced back to the reservation and become a field n—-r again!
PacMan was told the same thing. We discussed it at lunch with GBS.
Oh yes, the Rochester and Benson quotes were just as bad!
PelletHead: Thanks for the kind words with #180. I feel refreshed knowing how you “love” me so!
Puddybud
I don’t support him. My whole point is that our embargo isn’t doing him any harm, and may well be helping him by giving him an excuse for his failures, while generating both sympathy and admiration for him among the many countries that do not like us.
I’m not sure how you could have read that post any other way, as I was rather careful in my wording.
Richard Pope @ 165
“I have looked at the Shields & Cragan study. Basically, their data set is seriously flawed. They have omitted numerous Republican elected officials who have been convicted and sent to federal prison, or have been serious objects of “investigation” — such as search warrants, seizure of property, or being hauled in front of a grand jury.”
Ummm…Richard, I expect a higher quality of analysis from you than that! You have not identified the study as “flawed” (as in biased one way or the other). Rather, you have potentially demonstrated that there are potentially more cases that could be included.
When metaanalytic studies like the Shields & Cragan investigation are done, it requires that a specific set of criteria be met for a study to be included. This is for quality control and consistency. It may well be that the anecdotes you cite did not yield media reports that fully matched the study’s inclusion criteria.
For example, if you do a LexisNexis search on “Jim West” and “John McKay” you will find only statements that McKay will be investigating (McKay, because James McDevitt recused himself). The search I did turned up no additional information except that an investigation was forthcoming. One inclusion criterion may have been that the media report specify that an investigation is actually underway.
Unfortunately Shields & Cragan didn’t list the specific criteria that warranted inclusion in their study. Probably because the write-up was a preliminary investigation presented at a convenience. They intend to publish the full study in 2009 from what I can tell.
A second possibility is that they sampled a subset of all possible media reports, so that their data set is not exhaustive. My impression, however, is that they were trying to be exhaustive.
So, my recommendation is that you contact the investigators with your concerns. They will either thank you for helping them complete the final data set, or they will explain why the cases you bring up fail to qualify.
But, dismissing their study because you can think of a couple of anecdotal examples, without knowing whether your anecdotal cases fall within the inclusion criteria, is a very weak argument on your part.
Liberal traitors, this is how you “support the troops” by burning them in effegy?
http://www.liveleak.com/view?i.....1&p=1
You liberals traitors are scum!
On Cuba and Rednecks
1. How come Bushie supports China, a fascist nuclear armed country, and opposes Cuba, an equally fascist but generally powerless country?
2. If Cuba is NOT competivie why do we need to embargo them??? Is marxism infective in Spanish but not Mandarin?
3. Wealth taxes .. they are already here .. we call it property tax and excise tax. Damn them marxists!
PUDDYBUD: YOU’RE A HYPOCRITE. YOU EXCUSE MTR’S ANTI-SEMITISM BECAUSE HE’S ON YOUR SIDE.
YOU ACCUSE LIBERALS OF BEING ANTI-SEMITIC ALL THE TIME. YOU ACCUSED ME OF THE SAME BUT WHEN I POINTED OUT THE SIMPLE FACT THAT I HANG OUT AT JEW’S WEBSITE AND SUPPORT WHAT HE’S DOING YOU CHANGE YOUR BULLSHIT – YOU ACCUSE ME OF BEING ANTI-ISRAEL.
I’M ONLY AS CRITICAL OF ISRAEL AS SOME ISRAELIS ARE. THE MOST COGENT AND USEFUL CRITICISM OF ISRAEL IS PUBLISHED IN ISRAELI NEWSPAPERS AND JOURNALS.
I CALL BULLSHIT ON YOU! LOSER.
Darryl —
Actually Bush fired some of the U.S. Attorneys who were most biased against Democrats, if you rely upon the Shields & Cragan “political profiling” study: Michigan (18 to 1), Nevada (13 to 1), California (two firings) (6.6 to 1), Washington (3 to 0), Arkansas (2 to 0) and New Mexico (1 to 0). Only in Arizona did the fired U.S. Attorney prosecute more Republicans than Democrats (0 to 2).
JESSIE JACKSON GOT A RATION OF SHIT FOR HIS “HYMIE” REMARK WHEN HE RAN FOR PRESIDENT AS HE SHOULD HAVE.
WHAT DOES MTR GET FROM PUDDYBUD? A PASS. NOT EVEN A SLAP ON THE WRIST.
WHAT A LOSING HYPOCRITE YOU ARE PUDDYBUD.
Clueless: Again I ask where are you with relationship to Headlice Loocie. You have had 18 again EIGHTEEN months to denounce Headlice. Nary a peep!
When you do that, I’ll consider denouncing MTRK. Until then, drop the sanctimonious supercilious pantomime! You agree with Headlice. You also look forward to an attack on US soil as long as GWB is president!
From you lack of a voice: ““Black people can be stressful to be around 24/7. Believe me , I know.” Commentby Clueless” and it would still be true!
Clueless I realize you are a little child. You seem to forget that Jesse Jackson traveled and hugged Yassir Arafat in Beirut Lebanon after Andrew Young contacted a Yassir emmisary when at the UN and was fired by Carter.
You also forget later Jackson received a $10K check from Moammar Kadaffi. He got in trouble for that. Yet he got a pass from the press. Then he used the Hymietown remark. Then he knocked up Karen Stanford and told the public “Stay out of the Bushes”! Yet he screamed and shouted Charles Pickering should not be allowed a federal judgeship for his past discretions of 40 years, yet Jesse wanted to be president just after 4 years.
Do you catch the double standard? No? Yeah… I didn’t think so.
Don’t talk black history to me lily white boy! I know far more than you’ll ever come close to comprehending! When you start the charge to remove the racists on this board from your side, I’ll cheer lead to remove them from my side. Until then STFU!
Again I ask where are you with relationship to Headlice Loocie.
I THOUGHT HL’S OUTBURSTS WERE INTEMPERATE AND ILL-CONSIDERED. AT FIRST I THOUGHT HL WAS OVER-REACTING TO YOUR MANIPULATIONS ON RACE AND LIBERAL GUILT. THAT MAY STILL BE THE CASE. I’M STILL NOT CONVINCED HL HARBORS RACIST ATTITUDES. IN ANY CASE, HL’S TACTICS WERE BOUND TO BLOW UP IN HIS FACE. HE SHOULDN’T HAVE TAKEN THAT STEP.
YOUR REMARKS ABOUT JESSE JACKSON ARE NEITHER HERE NOR THERE. JACKSON SAID “HYMIE”. HE WAS CONDEMNED. I AGREE WITH THAT. A MAN RUNNING FOR PRESIDENT SHOULDN’T DO THAT.
MTR SAID “HYMIE” AND “KYKE”. YOU GIVE HIM A PASS. IT’S THAT SIMPLE.
EVERYTHING ELSE YOU MENTION ABOUT JACKSON AND BLACK HISTORY IS JUST STUPID NOISE. IT ISN’T GOING TO WORK PUDDY.
You also look forward to an attack on US soil as long as GWB is president!
THAT’S A LIE.
BUT I BET YOU AND YOUR CROWD WILL DEFINITELY CHEER ON A TERRORIST ATTACK WHEN A DEM TAKE THE WHITE HOUSE IN 2008.
Clueless I realize you are a little child.
AFTER MWS? PUUUHLEEEEEZE!!
LMAO!!
““Black people can be stressful to be around 24/7. Believe me , I know.”
ON THE SURFACE, ANOTHER OFFENSIVE REMARK. I DON’T REMEMBER IT MYSELF. AGAIN HL PROBABLY SHOULDN’T HAVE GONE THERE BUT WITHOUT MORE CONTEXT I WOULDN’T JUMP TO A CONCLUSION.
When you start the charge to remove the racists on this board from your side
OK WHO ELSE BESIDES HL? IIRC, ACCORDING TO YOU, IT’S JUST ABOUT EVERYBODY ON MY SIDE INCLUDING ME.
WE’LL NEVER PLAY TO YOUR AGENDA PUDDY. WE DON’T TRUST YOU.

NOW YOU’VE PUT WORDS IN SOMEONE’S MOUTH BUT AGAIN DISHONESTY IS YOUR M.O.
Don’t talk black history to me lily white boy!
SOMETHING’S BEEN STICKIN’ IN MY CRAW ABOUT YOUR OUTBURST PUDDY. I WAS TALKING ABOUT ANTI-SEMITISM. I MENTION JESSE JACKSON AND ALL OF A SUDDEN IT’S ABOUT SKIN COLOR, EVEN MY SKIN COLOR.
IIRC, THE KATRINA DISCUSSION HERE STARTED OVER DUBYA AND FEMA’S LAME RESPONSE. ALL OF SUDDEN IT TURNED INTO A SHOUTING MATCH OVER SKIN COLOR AND RACISM.
I REMEMBER JCH HOWLING ABOUT BLACKS LOOTING. I REMEMBER HL’S CLOWNISH PANTOMIMES AND ALL OF SUDDEN YOU WERE CALLING EVERYONE A RACIST ENABLER.
VERY, VERY DISHONEST PUDDY.
NOW POINT OUT WHERE HL DIRECTLY ADDRESSED YOU OR ANYONE ELSE WITH A RACIST SLUR LIKE MTR DID TO SEATTLE JEW. I’M NOT EXCUSING HL, HE REACTED THE WRONG WAY. THERE WERE BETTER WAYS TO DEAL WITH YOUR RACE BAITING.
AND I’M NO ANGLO-SAXON OR NORTHERN EUROPEAN. MY LAST NAME ENDS IN A VOWEL. MY MOTHER IS MEXICAN. EVERYONE ON HER SIDE LOOKS LIKE INDIANS OFF THE RESERVATION. THE OTHER SIDE IS MEDITERANEAN, AS SOUTH AS YOU CAN GO. YOU SHOULD KNOW ABOUT THE MOORS AND THAT PART OF THE WORLD.
Clueless: That is poor attempt in telling headlice Loocie his words were bad, really bad.
Try again!
I suppose paying for a war, instead of putting it on a credit card, is also like allowing suckas in society to live off of your back.
Just face it puddybud, you don’t like paying your fair share because your unpatriotic and jealous that you don’t have any money of your own.
you are – for those that are bothered by my gramatical error.
