    Now we find out today that the Bush administration has been playing the Christians of America for votes. How does that make you feel,Janet S? Kind of gives sanctimony a whole new meaning. How can Bush profess to be a Christian with a straight face? I know, it is Clinton’s fault.

    I guess all along Bush and Co have been “Tempting Faith”. David Kuo’s book, out this Monday, details the usery. I can’t wait for excuses to come flying. How are they going to blame Clinton for this one? The only surprise this October is that all the October surprises are killing the WingNuts. Democrats are looking forward to next month. Republicans, not so much!

    Funny how that works.

    Well, you on the Right, how do you justify the facts laid out in the book? And from an administration insider no less.

    (sound of crickets)

    How much worse can it get? Laura Bush giving BJ’s in the Lincoln bedroom? There is no limit, apparently, to the depths into which this administration will sink in order to retain power. Not in order to do what is best or right by the people who have elected (well not really elected, more like installed by the SCOTUS) but to remain in power. This is not what our forefathers had in mind. This is why Bush and Co have spent so much time subverting the constitution. Well, not subverting so much as shredding, burning, spindling and mutilating.

    Now they find themselves on the way out the door. Don’t let it hit you in the ass, boys! (However, Foley might like that).

    Funny how that works!

    Cute video. I’m not sure how effective it will be, considering that the President has made himself as irrelevent as possible. His approval rating is in the toilet, and even the Republicans aren’t seriously considering having the VP run in 2008.

    Considering that it’s an open thread, I thought I’d put in a plug for one of my local Democrats.

    Larry Seaquist is running a nice, clean campaign against the protege of Lois McMahan (of “Muhommed is not MY God” fame), Ron Boehme. Captain Seaquist is another one of those old retired Sailors (like yours truly) and could use help getting the word out.

    He has been active in the local progressive community, and has written several essays and op-ed pieces for publications such as the Christian Science Monitor. You can learn more about him at http://www.larryseaquist.com.

    Mr. Boehme is an interesting individual, who for some reason felt in necessary to remove most of his writings from the church website they were on before he started running for office. Fortunately, there are archived versions.

    http://tinyurl.com/y69z2s – Where he states that Disney is a modern “Sodom and Gomorrah.” and that “30-40% of Disney’s employees are practicing homosexuals”.

    http://tinyurl.com/v93wl – where he declares himself to be a prophet “I’m still predicting: That America will soon be severely judged by God. This judgment will include increased natural catastrophes, a painful economic depression, and a time of great revival. In our last newsletter I revealed my prophetic sense on this subject.”

    Pretty easy choice. Decorated Navy Veteran or self-proclaimed prophet, looking forward to armageddon. (Where do they find these people?)

    More than fifty immigrants were taken into custody Wednesday after a raid at a west side home. Police were called to the home on Senisa Street after they received a tip about stolen cars. When they arrived, they saw four people running from the house. They looked inside the “stash house” and found 51 illegal immigrants – 38 men, 12 women and a teenage girl – all crammed into three bedrooms.

    One way to help curb the illegal problem: Anytime an illegal is involved in something even as small as a fender bender…Sue!

    Sue them, their employer, landlord, bank, Priest, Pastor, friend, you name it. Anyone who as aided them in their illegal activity. Attach and liquidate Catholic church financial and physical property immediately. Finally, Use Lowenstein, Stein, Goodman, Grossmanstein, and Loeb, ESQ. They’ll do anything for money.

    News Alert:

    More than 50,000 cells believed to have come from the brain of a HorsesAss.org commenter who goes by the handle “JCH” were found Tuesday by the Tukwila Police Department Vice Unit. The cells were found in an area frequented by sex workers and their patrons.

    One worker who requested anonymity stated that she knew of the individual known as “JCH” and found him to be: “Creepy. Always mumbling about Kennedys and asking us girls if we’re illegal or if we need a doctor of something.. He’s disgusting. You can’t even make out whatr he’s saying half the time. If we’re really hurting for money I guess we’ll take him but otherwise…well…he just stays in his car and looks. I know what he’s doing in there. Most guys are pretty nice. He’s just a pervert.”

    “JCH” has been rumored to be estranged from his family due to his extreme and bizarre political views and sources reveal that there is concern among what little family that will acknowledge him as to how the loss of more brain cells will affect “JCH”.

    “He’s lost a lot over the years.” Says one family member who spoke off the record, “It was bad enough when he was listening to just Rush, Carlson and Kirby Wilbur…that was bad enough. You could see him degrade. Then he got into Glenn Beck and Michael Savage really heavy. It was like crack to him. He couldn’t stop. Said he didn’t want to…didn’t need to. We fought about it. I had to cut him off. Tough Love, you know.”

    Authorities say the individual is not dangerous as far as they know, but residents and businesses in the area are being alerted.

    WASHINGTON – The U.S. government posted a larger-than-expected $56.03 billion budget surplus in September as record outlays were more than offset by record tax receipts, the Treasury Department said on Thursday. The surplus, which closed out the fiscal year, compared with a $35.23 billion surplus in September 2005. Wall Street economists polled by Reuters last Friday were expecting a September surplus of $45.0 billion. [………….Congratulations, President Bush!!! What great news!!!! hehe, JCH]

    The first winter storm of the season brought record snowfall to parts of Michigan today and the earliest snowfall in Chicago since record-keeping began in 1871, according to the National Weather Service. /break/ The sudden polar air mass prompted freeze warnings and frost advisories from eastern Colorado to western Pennsylvania. Wintry weather was expected to hit New York City on Friday. /break/ it has potential to set up a harder winter because it is dumping heavily on Canada, where the Arctic air originated.

    Hmmm…As I have said before, not that anything anyone ever says affects the content of your posts, I fully expect Dennis Hastert to remain in his office as Speaker no matter how large the majorities urging him to resign become or how many Republicans call for it.

    Until the next election for Speaker (or Minority Leader), that is, when I fully expect someone like Mitch McConnell to replace him and drive the GOP even further right.

    Every fall and/or winter some idiot observes that because it is cold outside there is no global warming. Really adds to the debate.

    Of course, there is an El Niño event this year which should make it generally warmer and wetter in the SW and SE US, and generally warmer and drier in the Pacific NW. There are many climate scientists who believe that we are heading to a more or less permanent El Niño condition, due to anthropocentric global climate change.

    Speaking of indepth coverage:

    The Senate Democratic leader, Harry Reid of Nevada, said his office contacted the Senate ethics committee on Wednesday and offered to correct his financial disclosure statements if they misrepresented his ties to a land deal in his home state in which his family made a profit of about $700,000.
    In a statement, Mr. Reid did not acknowledge errors in the disclosure forms but said he was ready to make a “technical correction” if the ethics committee determined that adjustments were needed. …

    In 2001, the timeline showed, ownership of the land was transferred to a holding company, Patrick Lane LLC, named for a street near the properties, as part of effort to rezone the area for development of a shopping center. Mr. Reid became a partner in the holding company. After the rezoning was approved, the land was sold for $1.6 million, with $1.1 million directed to Mr. Reid as his share, a return of about $700,000 on the investment.

    The senator’s financial disclosure statements during the period show that he never reported that the land had been transferred to the holding company, leaving the impression that he continued to own the land directly instead of through a partnership with Mr. Brown and others.

    Congressional ethics specialists said the omission was at least a technical violation of the disclosure rules, which are intended to identify a lawmaker’s business partners and potential conflicts of interest. Spokesmen for the Senate ethics committee did not return phone calls Wednesday night.

    Didn’t Bill Mahar say we should be more like Western Europe on his HBO Moonbat Lovers show?

    Radical Muslims in France’s housing estates are waging an undeclared “intifada,” or uprising, against the police, with violent clashes injuring about 14 officers each day.
    As the Interior Ministry announced that nearly 2,500 officers had been wounded this year, a police union declared that its members were “in a state of civil war” with Muslims in the most depressed “banlieue” estates. Banlieue, which means outskirts, is the commonly used euphemism for the low-income housing projects heavily populated by unemployed youths of North African origin.

    The police union said it had asked the government to provide police with armored cars to protect officers in the estates, which it said were becoming no-go zones.

    The number of attacks has risen by a third in two years. Police representatives told the newspaper Le Figaro that the “taboo” of attacking officers on patrol has been broken. Instead, officers — especially those patrolling in pairs or small groups — are facing attacks when they try to arrest locals.

    Special report with Brit Hume just did a segment on the McMorris/Goldmark contest… and I have to say it seems ol’ Goldmark says the “right” things…

    however…

    the reporter spoke with voters in that area and the one comment that cracked me up was this fellow that said ‘Goldmark may be a new democrat, but he’s still a democrat. There may be better democrats and there may be worse democrats, but they are still democrats.’

    And there’s your problem!

    ProudASS, you realize you are talking about Brit Hume on FOX news, right? They could have 5000 interviews from people on the street supporting Goldmark, and they would choose the 3 opposing Goldmark to put on the air.

    As always, if you are counting on FOX news for your information, you obviously have no desire to be armed with facts.

    @31;

    Actually, he did own that land. Three years ago, he transfered the property from his own personal name to that of an LLC. The only asset of the LLC was the property, and he had his share of ownership of the LLC.

    “A single member LLC (i.e. an LLC owned 100% by a single person) is treated by the IRS as non-existent for tax purposes. The LLC owner continues to treat himself as the direct owner of the property for tax purposes as if the property were never transferred to the LLC. That could explain why someone might continue to consider himself the owner of property which he has transferred to a single member LLC.

    A multiple member LLC is treated as a partnership for tax purposes. Again, if an existing partnership transfers property to an LLC owned by the same partners in the same percentages, the LLC will usually be treated as the same entity as the orignal partnership, and again an individual might reasonably believe that no transfer has taken place.”

    All of this was disclosed to the ethics committee. Note that there is no charge or evidence or anything that would suggest that Reid used his position of authority to boost the value of the land.

    Engaging in the one-on-one talks that most observers think offer the best chance of brokering a deal with NK is not being a “cowboy unilateralist.” Neither does it preclude US cooperation with other nations to restrict nuclear materials exchange or militarily threaten NK.
