Glad to hear that the progressives are being heard more on talk radio.
Now for the daily political gossip and rumours :)
All over the internet this morning is much speculation on why Jenna Bush is really in Paraguay for.
Rumours are that President Bush bought 100,000 acres of ranch in Paraguay. This news has been written about all over the South American newspapers :) Some have speculated that he might be trying to wrestle control of the Guarani Aquifer, one of the largest underground water reserves, from the Paraguayans.
Rumours of Mr Bush’s supposed forays into South American real estate surfaced during a recent 10-day visit to the country by his daughter Jenna Bush. Little is known about her trip to Paraguay, although officially she travelled with the UN children’s agency Unicef to visit social projects. Photographers from the Paraguayan newspaper ABC Color tracked her down to one restaurant in Paraguay’s capital Asunción, where she was seen flanked by 10 security guards, and was also reported to have met Paraguay’s president, Nicanor Duarte, and the US ambassador to Paraguay, James Cason. Reports in sections of the Paraguayan media suggested she was sent on a family “mission” to tie up the land purchase in the “chaco”.
Erasmo Rodríguez Acosta, the governor of the Alto Paraguay region where Mr Bush’s new acquisition supposedly lies, told one Paraguayan news agency there were indications that Mr Bush had bought land in Paso de Patria, near the border with Brazil and Bolivia. He was, however, unable to prove this, he added.
Last week the Paraguayan news group Neike suggested that Ms Bush was in Paraguay to “visit the land acquired by her father – relatively close to the Brazilian Pantanal [wetlands] and the Bolivian gas reserves”.
The US presence in Paraguay has been under scrutiny since May 2005 when the country’s Congress agreed to allow 400 American marines to operate there for 18 months in exchange for financial aid.
At the time many viewed the arrival of troops as a sign that Washington was trying to monitor US business interests in neighbouring Bolivia, after the election of Evo Morales, a leftwing leader who promised to nationalise his country’s natural gas industry.
Oh no liberation. We hope not. Stay tuned. Notice the media doesn’t cover this rumor?
Commander Ogg spews:
Mr. Goldstein,
It would be interesting to talk about the information net, specifically whether George Bush and his Administration can still control the flow of information received by the majority of the population even after the loss of Congress by the Republicans.
As has been well documented, the MSM or main stream media has pretty much given Bush a free pass by not asking inconvenient questions that may embarrass the Administration. Will this change now that the D’s are in charge of the ledge?
Media Matters says no:
Given the magnitude of that victory — just two years after the media told us that Democrats had become a permanent minority, they won control of both houses of Congress, a majority of governorships, and denied Republicans the pickup of a single congressional district — we might expect the media to praise the strategic brilliance of the Left, just as they spent much of the past six years lavishing praise on Karl Rove and Ken Mehlman and, basically, everyone who has ever set foot inside the Republican National Committee…
…But those waiting for similar treatment of the GOP at the hands of the nation’s political reporters and pundits shouldn’t hold their breath. It isn’t coming.

Yes, I think Paraguay would be a most hospitable home for our president. He even speaks a little bad Spanish.
Goplies spews:
Would like to hear more about Paraguay.
It is all over the internet and newspapers around the world.
MainStrapless Media needs to strap it on and report this or clarify this.
The rumor was reported in London’s The Guardian. Is it the proximity to vast gas and underground water reserves? Or does he plan to seek sanctuary down there like those from a previous reich.
Answer Reason 1: Argentinean Adolfo Perez Esquivel warned that the real war will be fought not for oil, but for water, and recalled that Acuifero Guaraní is one of the largest underground water reserves in South America, running beneath Argentina, Brazil, Paraguay and Uruguay (larger than Texas and California together).Orlando Castillo, Paraguay Peace and Justice Service member, recalled the US military buildup in Chaco under a bilateral agreement.
Scenario/Reason 2: Escape to Paraguay? Rumors of Bush Land Deal “, Political Cortex, 10/16/12006
“At least two sources, including Upsidedownworld and Prensa Latina, report rumors of a Bush family purchase of land in northern Paraguay.
“Prensa Latina, writing on October 13, George W. Bush, writes an Argentine official regarded the intention of the George W. Bush family to settle on the Acuifero Guarani (Paraguay) as surprising, besides being a bad signal for the governments of the region…Luis D Elia, undersecretary for the Social Habitat in the Argentine Federal Planning Ministry, issued a memo partially reproduced by digital INFOBAE.com, in which he spoke of the purchase by Bush of a 98,842-acre farm in northern Paraguay, between Brazil and Bolivia.”
Military in Paraguay Threatens Region
“Five hundred U.S. troops arrived in Paraguay with planes, weapons, and ammunition in July 2005, shortly after the Paraguayan Senate granted U.S. troops immunity from national and International Criminal Court (ICC) jurisdiction.”
President Bush has always been very mindful of the possibility of being tried one day for War Crimes, so it makes sense that he might be planning to move to one of the few countries in the world which has already provided for legal protection against International War Crimes.
Do you remember that the President waited to launch his attack on Iraq until he had obtained a War Crimes exemption from the International Court? Is this the reason President Bush has suddenly bought a 100,000-acre ranch in Paraguay — one country which would protect George W. Bush and any of his civilian and military officials whom the International Court seeks to try?
Truth to the rumor?

I haven’t been hearing anyone here blaming the operator. In fact, given that those of us on the left are prone to take the working man’s side, I’m hoping the operator was not at fault. I’d much rather see the company–you know, “The Man”–get stuck with the blame here. Ideally, we’ll see that costcutting objectives of the general contractor led to what happened. But, those of us who withhold our opinions until we see the facts aren’t prepared to blame anyone until the investigation is complete.
rhp6033 spews:
MTR at 18: Care to enlighten us regarding what, specifically, are the “legal requirements” for the job of Director of Safety of a major construction project? I’m not asking what you think it SHOULD be, but what the requirements ACTUALLY ARE, at the present time? And please specify which state regulatory agency controls the licensing of that job.
If your answer is “PE” (licensed professional engineer), then please specify the statute of regulation which requires such a license to perform this task.
But I anticipate that, based on your previous posts, I suspect that your “logic” went like this: “(a) Tamara is a girl’s name, (b) Tamara is often a black girl’s name, (c) she must be an “affirmative action” hire, (d) therefore she is obviously unqualified, (e) now let’s look for a reason to justify the conclusion that she was obviously unqualified, (f) gee, she isn’t a P.E., (g) if she is not a PE and she is unqualified, then a PE must be a job requirement, (h) therefore she is unqualified (note the circular logic), (i) since she was unqualified the accident must have been her fault, (f) the Democrats are responsible for all affirmative action hires, (g) therefore the Democrats are responsible for this accident.

Speaking of Thanksgiving turkeys, Ed Holm, the Democrat Prosecuting Attorney of Thurston County (and the taxpayers of that county as well) has just been found liable by a jury for $1.5 million for sexually harassing three female deputy prosecuting attorneys, who he then fired or forced to resign when they complained about it:
During the trial, the women said Holm would make sexist remarks against women.
“We’d be talking about something and he would say ‘that woman’s really built’ or ‘she has a set of knockers on her…or she was a tall glass of water,'” said former assistant prosecutor Audrey Broyles.
Holm fired two of the plaintiffs and forced one to quit; the women told jurors that was retaliation for complaints they made about their hostile work environment.”

Rainier Valley barber shop owner flees U.S.
Facing sentencing in plea deal, he phones FBI to say he’s in Somalia
By PAUL SHUKOVSKY
P-I REPORTER
Ruben Shumpert, who federal agents allege made his Rainier Valley barber shop a kind of “anti-American training ground for Muslims” where children were taught “how to shoot and fight the Americans,” has telephoned the FBI to say he won’t be going to prison anytime soon.
Shumpert, who faces sentencing on federal counterfeiting and weapons charges, has fled to Somalia.
A warrant has been issued for the arrest of Shumpert, who is also known as Amir Abdul Muhaimin, Assistant U.S. Attorney Bill Redkey said. He was to be sentenced Tuesday.
Shumpert — an African American convert to Islam — was among more than a dozen, mostly African immigrants from Islamic countries arrested by the FBI’s Joint Terrorism Task Force two years ago on a mix of charges, including immigration fraud and bank fraud.
Shumpert was never charged with any terrorism crimes, but court documents paint a picture of his barber shop at 7821 Rainier Ave. S. as a gathering place for adherents of radical Islam where he showed children videotapes of “fighting, shooting and killing with images on Shumpert’s computer screen of al-Qaida and the Taliban.”
Shumpert had been free on personal recognizance and was facing sentencing under a plea agreement when he fled the country, Redkey said. Shumpert called an FBI agent on the Joint Terrorism Task Force from Somalia, Redkey said.

Not to mention a life-long, heart-felt crusade to avoid paying his gambling debts. Good thing he bet a liberal blogger and not my friend Stan Micholski from high school. He’d be gumming his steak right about now.

Dear MTR, Klake and, just for fun, JCH and MWS:
Having been gone for a bit, I am sure you missed me. I just want to say that I missed you too.
Now, kindly, GO FUCK YOURSELVES!!!!
It is over for you. In two years the Democratic hold on the Senate will increase and the new President will be a Democrat because your beloved GWB has no way to get out of the Iraq mess and the Iran mess will be front page right next to the North Korea mess.
So, gentleman (and I use that term very loosely) I suggest pulling up a chair and hollering at the wife to bring you a beer so you can cry in it.
Now, you can kiss my Liberal, Democrat (new majority) Jewish ass.
Have a good evening.

“1) Have any of you amateur engineers out there come up with a theory as to why the crane operator in Bellevue caused the crash?”
He didn’t inspect the crane base before operating the crane. If he had, he would have seen the obvious weld cracks and loose bolts.
“2) Who should be held to the highest standard?
a) Hair cutters
b) Exotic dancers
c) People doing technical jobs responsible for ensuring pubic safety.”
Male exotic dancers who welsh on their gambling debts.
“3) Who is more culpable for the crane accident:
a) The crane operator who did his job properly?
b) The person responsible for insuring safety at the site who had no fucking idea that every fucking bolt and every fucking weld on the base had failed?”
The contractor and engineers who jerry-rigged an unsafe base to save a few bucks.
“4) Where do you feel the most safe?
a) Hair Masters
b) Rick’s
c) Tower 333 construction site”
Proper grammar is “the safest?” Only lliterate wingfucks say “the most safe?”

First: Happy Thanksgiving Libtard Turkeys
Second, My Left Foot says: Nothing again. Still blogging 100% worthlessness.
Third, Seattledan: If you look at the thread history since the accident happened, Moonbat!s have escalated this into politics. It happened in the new Moonbat!ville per your libtard demographics. As I remember libtards were bragging Darcy would win because the Seattle libtards were moving to Bellevue.
Fourth, you are required to have a PE license. But laws and Moonbat!s are like facts deliveing hurt to the libtard mind.
Happy Thanksgiving Libtard Turkeys

From Today’s Seattle Times—
NANCY PELOSI IS WORSE THAN MICHAEL RICHARDS!!!
SHE BE A RAICIST!!!!
“By seniority, California Rep. Jane Harman should lead the Intelligence Committee, but House Speaker-elect Nancy Pelosi has told Harman she won’t be reappointed to the committee.
Alcee Hastings, a black Florida congressman, is the next senior Democrat. He would be a controversial choice, however. A former federal judge, he was charged in an FBI bribery sting and was acquitted by a federal jury. He was later impeached by the House and removed from the bench in 1989 by the Senate.
In a letter to House colleagues released Wednesday, Hastings maintains he did nothing wrong and asked fellow Democrats in the House of Representatives to review what he denounced as the unfounded case against him. “I will make you proud if I am selected to chair the House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence,” he wrote, adding that it’s a position he’s “completely competent” to hold.”
I ain’t goin’ down easy I tells ya.
OJ Simpson was innocent
AND SO IS I!!!

Well, MTR, I say maybe we should actually give it a try, and then see what the results are. Certainly couldn’t be any worse than what we’ve had with the dickheads in charge for, oh, the last 6 millenia or so.
Oh, and you do realize you just refuted your entire argument re: the crane operator with that crack, don’t ya?
Dumb shit.
