Today is a historic day for equality with Obama set to sign the Lily Ledbedder act that gives employees the right to sue for discrimination beyond the 180 day period. You might call Obama the Messiah in jest, but today, He, Lily,and Congress are my heros.
With or without religion, you would have good people doing good things and evil people doing evil things. But for good people to do evil things, that takes religion.

The Name is a Clue
January 28, 2009 Posted by John at 6:30 PM
This is one of those news stories that just make you laugh. The Associated Press reports that the snowy owl, native to the far north, has been moving south:
snip
But this simple explanation–snowy owls are following cold weather and snow southward–escapes the Associated Press. To the AP, the owl’s behavior is a mystery. Maybe a shortage of lemmings is driving the owls south? But no! The lemming population is thriving. That being the case, it’s an insoluble puzzle. The obvious explanation, cold weather, is unmentionable.
What’s doubly absurd about this is that when species have moved North, the AP and other news outlets have robotically attributed the migration to global warming. Like moths, opossums, and various flora and fauna.

And meanwhile the ice caps are melting, the seas are warming, CO2 is steadily rising since the beginning of the industrial revolution, and the weather is weirder than ever before…things that make you go ummmmm……
This stimulus is more of the thinking we had in the last eight years, the only difference is it is a Democratic plan instead of a Republican plan. And the Republican plan was just as fruitless FYI.

WASHINGTON (CNN) — The U.S. Army will report Thursday the highest level of suicides among its soldiers since it began tracking the rate 28 years ago, CNN has learned.
Military officials have long said it is difficult to compare the military suicide rate with that of the private sector because of demographic differences and overall human stress factors. Another factor is that military suicides tend to be young men WITH ACCESS TO WEAPONS.

The new stimulus package has $400 million to put more scientists to work on climate change. I’m all for that but why do we need it if, according to Algore, it is “settled science”?
I guess everyone here received this update from kansas.com –
“Cessna Aircraft has dramatically increased the number of jobs it will cut. It now expects to reduce its workforce by 4,600 people, up from the previously announced 2,500 job cuts as customers cancel and defer orders.”

B) It is not the government’s duty to do anything with the financial market.
C) Banks made dumb mistakes. Let them fail and pay for their mistakes.
D) Let this cycle complete on its own. Allow the market to be a capitalist market.
E) Jobs will return on their own.
F) Quit borrowing money.
G) Quit trying to make –busy work- jobs that only last a couple of months.
H) Quit handing out money.
I) Give business (you know the people who employ people?) tax incentives to expand.

Follow your own advice, “Heckler”.
http://nsidc.org/arcticseaicenews/
“As the sun set in the Arctic with the advent of autumn, seasonal ice growth was initially quite rapid, but slowed during early November.
Average ice extent in December was well below average and very close to that measured in 2007.
Heading into 2009, the Arctic sea ice cover is again young and thin; given this set-up, a continuation of well-below-average sea ice extent in 2009 is a near certainty.”

Why are we still having this discussion?
Why would we spend another penny on this?
It’s over!

“WASHINGTON (AFP) – Climate change is “largely irreversible” for the next 1,000 years even if carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions could be abruptly halted, according to a new study led by the US National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA).”
Why can’t Hank defend his AGW denial on this blog to all readers, instead of to only one person during “lunch”?
Well our new prez has been in office less than two weeks and already has the House approving spending of nearly 1 trillion dollars we don’t have.
Remarkable progress. Democrats rush through legislation which includes billions which obviously do not stimulate or provide near term results – without discussion.
Normal appropriation bills are still to come for FY09 (because they didn’t pass them last year on time) as well as FY10. This will add the normal almost trillion dollars for the federal government to spend.
So history has been made. Change has included voting without discussion, debate, or public debate and approval of spending to pay off the Obama base supporters.
It’s been a great two weeks for socialist.
It’s been a horrible two weeks for our nation living in debt.
Scientific methodology? Oh you mean Hansen fudging the numbers and not allowing anyone access to the algorithms. Thusly, Hansen’s work can not be duplicated by other scientists. Is that the methodology you are referring to?
Or the scientific methodology of having a politician deliver “science”[sic] briefs? A politician that stands to make great gains in his carbon credit selling firm. A politician that stands to make great gains in government hand outs.
All the while, the “science[sic] is settled” but the alarmists fear debate. They fear taking their religion in public with those that face reality.
Cosmos is a prime example.
Why do you fear Hank cosmos?
“a new study led by the US National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA).”

December’s sales pace was the lowest on records dating back to 1963. Economists surveyed by Thomson Reuters had expected sales would fall to a rate of 400,000 homes.”

Do no harm. First rule of medicine.
Congress should adjorn and do nothing would be ideal. At most, approve programs which directly affect (help) those unemployed workers and their families and provide for their welfare – temporarily. This would be increased funding to those specific social programs (not the Arts).
Move up and fund projects already on the five year highway/road construction plan – no added pork for democrats districts. Review all 26 major appropriation acts (basically for each government department) to glean from them the work projects which are aleady under consideration and move them up (instead of inventing new based upon congressional districts). Increase funding for new business development/small businesses. Realize you will not help Starbucks, Microsoft, or those big businesses suffering layoffs – by handing out money like it’s candy to NON stimulus functions. Pull back money from every bank, financial institution, which cannot provide a breakdown on where they have spent/deposited the bailout money. Do not issue one penny more until audit procedures/accounting procedures are in place to ensure funding is spent as “congress intended”(which they did not do the first time). Do NOT accept the lie: They don’t know where the money went. Any accountant worth his/her salts can tell you governmental accounting has clear principles for accounting for US Funds. Use recovered funds to assist subprime mortgage holders or those truly in default (against my own principles but..). End ARMS except for those clearly with a 700+ credit rating, clear income statements (showing expenses with documentated proof).
That’s a start.
When in England , at a fairly large conference, Colin Powell was asked by the Archbishop of Canterbury if our plans for Iraq were just an example of empire building by George Bush.
He answered by saying, ‘Over the years, the United States has sent many of its fine young men and women into great peril to fight for freedom beyond our borders. The only amount of land we have ever asked for in return is enough to bury those that did not return.’
You could have heard a pin drop.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
There was a conference in France where a number of international engineers were taking part, including French and American. During a break, one of the French engineers came back into the room saying ‘Have you heard the latest dumb stunt Bush has done? He has sent an aircraft carrier to Indonesia to help the tsunami victims. What does he intended to do, bomb them?’
A Boeing engineer stood up and replied quietly: ‘Our carriers have three hospitals on board that can treat several hundred people; they are nuclear powered and can supply emergency electrical power to shore facilities; they have three cafeterias with the capacity to feed 3,000 people three meals a day, they can produce several thousand gallons of fresh water from sea water each day, and they carry half a dozen helicopters for use in transporting victims and injured to and from! their flight deck. We have eleven such ships; how many does France have?’

A U.S. Navy Admiral was attending a naval conference that included Admirals from the U.S. , English, Canadian, Australian and French Navies. At a cocktail reception, he found himself standing with a large group of Officers that included personnel from most of those countries. Everyone was chatting away in English as they sipped their drinks but a French admiral suddenly complained that, whereas Europeans learn many languages, Americans learn only English. He then asked, ‘Why is it that we always have to speak English in these conferences rather than speaking French?’
Without hesitating, the American Admiral replied, ‘Maybe it’s because the Brits, Canadians, Aussies and Americans arranged it so you wouldn’t have to speak German.’
You could have heard a pin drop.

AND THIS STORY FITS RIGHT IN WITH THE ABOVE…
Robert Whiting, an elderly gentleman of 83, arrived in Paris by plane. At French Customs, he took a few minutes to locate his passport in his carry on.
“You have been to France before, monsieur?” the customs officer asked sarcastically.
Mr. Whiting admitted that he had been to France previously.
“Then you should know enough to have your passport ready.”
The American said, ”The last time I was here, I didn’t have to show it.”
“Impossible. Americans always have to show your passports on arrival in France !”
The American senior gave the Frenchman a long hard look. Then he quietly explained, ”Well, when I came ashore at Omaha Beach on D-Day in 1944 to help liberate this country, I couldn’t find a single Frenchmen to show a passport to.”
You could have heard a pin drop.

Cosmos I’m not attacking anyone. I don’t give a darn about GW or AGW. I do care how my government wastes money and will post accordingly.
Your posts are like fingernails on a chalkboard to me.
Your words are a resounding gong or a clashing cymbal.
Your repetitive drivel has become as sounding brass, or a tinkling cymbal.
No offense.
From a speech by two-time winner of the Medal of Honor, US Marine General Smedley Butler, 1933:
I wouldn’t go to war again as I have done to protect some lousy investment of the bankers. There are only two things we should fight for. One is the defense of our homes and the other is the Bill of Rights. War for any other reason is simply a racket.
There isn’t a trick in the racketeering bag that the military gang is blind to. It has its “finger men” to point out enemies, its “muscle men” to destroy enemies, its “brain men” to plan war preparations, and a “Big Boss” Super-Nationalistic-Capitalism.
It may seem odd for me, a military man to adopt such a comparison. Truthfulness compels me to. I spent thirty- three years and four months in active military service as a member of this country’s most agile military force, the Marine Corps. I served in all commissioned ranks from Second Lieutenant to Major-General. And during that period, I spent most of my time being a high class muscle- man for Big Business, for Wall Street and for the Bankers. In short, I was a racketeer, a gangster for capitalism.

Because you are a coward, Hank. And because having lunch with you would be a waste of my time.
Just post some valid arguments Hank, instead of your empty, irrelevant attacks.
Here’s why Hank believes that climate scientists worldwide are wrong about ENSO affecting global temperatures:
* Hank thinks that I “ain’t smart enough. . .”
* Hank lied about what I’ve posted.
* Hank tried to use an irrelevant, bogus “authority” line — his long-ago Navy “liason”(sic) duty.
* Just because Hank says so. (uh-huh. . .)
* Hank thinks that I’ve demonstrated my “incredible ignorance”.
* Hank thinks that all the climate science and data worldwide is done by Al Gore’s “butt-boy”.
“Then Obama said to his disciples, ‘I tell you . . .
Yeah what’s that word when someone ridicules God’s Word?
I remember now, blasphemy.
Which makes AmWay a blasphemer.

I am not sure that is so much a ridicule of God’s word as it is Obama.
What does it matter to you anyhow?
Are you “judging” someone and saying that what they are doing is “wrong?”
How dare you!

“Realize you will not help Starbucks, Microsoft, or those big businesses suffering layoffs -” [Amway]
Ummmm… I dont recall hearing or seeing anywhere that either Starbucks or Microsoft were asking for any financial help from government money… Care to show such a thing, or is that just another mis-direction, or red herring???
I also dont recall seeing any requests for government bail out funds from Boeing, Beech, or Cessna, or Circuit City either…
Moody’s investment analysts seem to give the Recovery Plan a good critique ..
“Moody’s economist Mark Zandi, who advised GOP presidential nominee John McCain, that said the stimulus bill would create or save 4 million jobs and keep the unemployment rate 2 percentage points than it would be without federal action.’
save 4 million jobs and keep the unemployment rate
For how long? Aren’t most of the “jobs” created mostly busy work? Like re-sodding the mall?
“DavidB” –
Through all of this I’m reminded of the old political axiom: “Good economics is bad politics; good politics is bad economics.”
Ronald Reagan was a good politician. He doubled the National Debt in eight years and never once presented a balanced budget to Congress.
When (the Big) Dick Cheney was sitting in Shrub’s Oval Office in 2004 he went on the record: “Deficits don’t mean anything. We learned that from Reagan.”
Hank Paulson jumped at the chance to get $335 Billion dollars in an “emergency” and doled it out to his pals on Wall Street, demanding there be no congressional or presidential oversight over the disbursal.
Ultimately it was bad politics for the Republic Party; George WMD Bush’s last treasonous act as president. But it may have been (and I’m fully aware of the irony) good economics or, at least, the first step to avoiding “Herbert Hoover — The Sequel.”
The stock market crashed in October, 1929. For the rest of that year, through 1930, through 1931, through 1932, until March 1933… the Republic Party had their way.
How did that work out for you guys?
These neo-Hoover CONs are so blinded by their twice-born free-market rhetoric it looks positively suicidal.
Move over, Whigs and Know-Nothings. You’re soon to be joined by the Republic Party in the dustbin of history.
When is the City going to pull the plug on the fancy new airport? Stop now. We are running out of dough.

BlueJay I know I will regret asking but what the heck are you talking about now. I think Linyx might have corrupted YOUR operating system.
The next economic bubble to burst – the dollar. The dollar has been building the bubble for ~20 years. Bush’s socialistic blunder – $750 billion bail out – will only be surmounted by Obama’s $1.2 trillion give away. As countries unhinge from the dollar, the dollar will fail. The landslide into oblivion will be when oil is not traded in dollars.
Mexico is failing. They will collapse. Unless Obama decides Mexico is too big to fail and we give them billions to disburse amongst their corruption. If Mexico fails, we will be closely behind. If we bail out Mexico, our demise will closely follow.
Precious metals. They are expensive now, but give it a year or two…
“Unless Obama decides Mexico is too big to fail and we give them billions to disburse amongst their corruption”
Where does this kind of insane ideation come from??? Earth to Sol, Earth to Sol, come in, Sol
The House Republican boycott of the stimulus plan was meaningless since 1) it was going to pass anyway, and 2) the real vote will come on the joint Senate/House bill.
So they got to play “maverick for a day.” Now maybe they can act like statesmen. Todd??? Todd?? Representative Tiahrt.. Wake up …. Please… Time to fix the things your buddies friends broke…..
Do you know the state Mexico is in? What will Obama do if Mexico fails? If you think he wouldn’t send a loan for whatever reason, maybe you should check the spending bill that is about to cross his desk.
SolDevVB,
Mexico is indeed listed as a possible security risk for government collapse.
But that prediction is not for any threat soon. It is merely a precaution that in the next 20 years or so if things don’t get better the state could collapse.
Mexico’s financial system relies mostly on oil. Mostly on oil at or above $70 per bbl. We are now at, what, $44 per bbl?
Drug czars and corrupt politicians. Not a healthy mix.
Indiscriminate kidnappings. Nearly daily beheadings. Gangs that mock and kill government agents.
This isn’t Iraq or Pakistan. It’s Mexico, which the U.S. government and a growing number of experts say is becoming one of the world’s biggest security risks.
The prospect that America’s southern neighbor could melt into lawlessness provides an unexpected challenge to Barack Obama’s new government. In its latest report anticipating possible global security risks, the U.S. Joint Forces Command lumps Mexico and Pakistan together as being at risk of a “rapid and sudden collapse.”

We are in 100% agreement on your post.
SolDevVB,
Yes, I know. And if you read the military report in it’s entirity instead of the media sound bites which sound scary, you would see that my statement is correct.
I’m being moderated.
I wonder if it hurts much?
“Nathaniel” tells us –
“…if you read the military report in it’s entirity instead of the media sound bites which sound scary, you would see that my statement is…”
What?
TREASONOUS?!
You, boy, have just shared information you apparently were exposed to during your Marine Corps Reserve service.
Lie down on this waterboard and let me ask you a few more questions about this alleged “military report in its entirety.”
It won’t be torture or anything.
Nathan claims that I believe, “What does it matter anyhow, we are all going to heav, right?”
Wrong.
What part of “I personally do not know who God will chose to go to heaven” do you not understand, Nathan?
I do believe as Paul wrote that those who show mercy will have mercy shown to them. I wonder what those who show only judgment will have shown to them?
“The economic crisis is an opportunity to unify people, if we set aside the politics. Let’s stop the acrimony. Let’s start solving our problems, together. Why wait one more day?” Rush Limbaugh
(DavidB spews out a mouthful of coffee, trying not to choke)
Well… good idea Rush… Good idea!
Now there you go….judging the judge-mental again.
Wood eye, wood eye….
Hairlip, hairlip.
DavidB,
Could it be that Rush Limbaugh has heard of the cuts Clear Channel is making / has made? That $400 million contract he signed last summer might be a large expense to justify for a company experiencing some economic woes? Could be.
Here’s one story about the Clear Channel cuts –
http://www.forbes.com/2009/01/22/clear-channel-advertising-markets-equity-cx_ad_0122markets29.html
Sol: I don’t accept the Archbishop of Canterbury would be that impolite, nor Powell so undiplopmatic. I and others on my tour( Canadians/Americans), didn’t have any problems with French customs or people when I went over in ‘94 for the 50th anniversary of D-Day, in fact I was surprised by the kindness shown. The Aussies didn’t help in Europe in WW2 and no doubt a Canadian Admiral would have at least conversational French. The French are no slouches at international aide themselves, and your comments above shows the extend of Francophobia still alive in America. Shame.
RP, how’s that moderation going? Does it hurt like electric shock?
Okay, I’m getting p-d off to the max.
I tried leaving a post regarding yesterday’s “Oprah” show featuring Ted Haggard, and I got that same insipid “moderation” bullcrap.
Here’s an entreaty to the Eagle blog staff: If you have some problem with me, have the huevos to say so. You’ve got my e-mail address on file.
I can’t imagine what was in my post that was offensive. Unless there’s some fans of ex-Cardinal Law on the Blog Staff.
Could be – nothing would shock me at this juncture.

As soon as I typed “Upd Ike” I got through, probably because General Eisenhower was a Kansan.

paragraph 1
“He was insane,” said Trout.
“How insane? He came into my bedroom at midnight. He woke me up. He said he had something important to tell me. It was nothing but a dirty joke, but this poor, sick man had come to believe it a parable about the awful blows that life had dealt him. It was about a fugitive who sought shelter from the police in the home of a woman he knew.
para 2
“Her living room had a cathedral ceiling, which is to say it went all the way up to the roof peak, with rustic rafters spanning the air space below.” Trout paused. It was as though he were as caught up in the tale as his father must have been.
para 3
He went on, there in the suite named in honor of the suicide Ernest Hemingway: “She was a widow, and he stripped himself naked while she went to fetch some of her husband’s clothes. But before he could put them on, the police were hammering on the front door with their billy clubs. So the fugitive hid on top of a rafter. When the woman let in the police, though, his oversize balls hung down in full view.”
Trout paused again.
para4
“The police asked the woman where the guy was. The woman said she didn’t know what guy they were talking about,” said Trout. “One of the cops saw the balls hanging down from a rafter and asked what they were. She said they were Chinese temple bells. He believed her. He said he ‘d always wanted to hear Chinese temple bells.
Let me help ya here, “RP_McMurphy” –

“He gave them a whack with his billy club, but there was no sound. So he hit them again, a lot harder, a whole lot harder. Do you know what the guy on the rafter shrieked?” Trout asked me.

White House Unbuttons Formal Dress Code
WASHINGTON — The capital flew into a bit of a tizzy when, on his first full day in the White House, President Obama was photographed in the Oval Office without his suit jacket. There was, however, a logical explanation: Mr. Obama, who hates the cold, had cranked up the thermostat.
“He’s from Hawaii, O.K.?” said Mr. Obama’s senior adviser, David Axelrod, who occupies the small but strategically located office next door to his boss. “He likes it warm. You could grow orchids in there.”
Thus did an ironclad rule of the George W. Bush administration — coat and tie in the Oval Office at all times — fall by the wayside, only the first of many signs that a more informal culture is growing up in the White House under new management. Mr. Obama promised to bring change to Washington and he has — not just in substance, but in presidential style.
http://www.nytimes.com/2009/01/29/us/politics/29whitehouse.html
Here’s President Obama –

Funny. It doesn’t seem like he’s reading off a teleprompter. It doesn’t seem like messianic oratory. It seems like a grown-up is finally occupying the Oval Office.
Monkey, that was some straight-forward talking… even managed to work in the Super Bowl at the end… No teleprompter… as if any recent occupants of the White House, havent used teleprompters…. except for Clinton…
But, I suppose somebody could argue that he wasnt standing behind a podium…. oh well…

“The WE Blog will be closing down soon.”–JimJohnson
Jim, where is this info. coming from? Honest question.
I canceled my print subscription I had maintained for probably 20+ or 30+ years over the Eagle’s biased reporting and Opinion section.
None the less I don’t wish them to go away, in print or online including this sick meeting place called WeBlog.
‘mxyzptlk’, the deranged misfit, is saying it (the Eagle or the WeBlog or both are going away as well), where’s it coming from?
————————————-
McClatchy Newspapers, Inc MNI is trading at 76 Cents today.
That’s down just a bit from around $12 a year ago, and $70 four years ago.
Bottom line is that MNI sucks. It was a BIG EVIL Corporation with GREEDY managers who were also incompetent. They bit off more then they could chew in acquisitions while at the same time, subscribers and advertisers were leaving them in droves.
And to read this POS Blog, same crap every day from the same stupid Libs, same whiners with ZERO substance and an even lower IQ, why would McClatchy keep paying for server space for a blog with 90% idiots?
The 24/7 Lib Posters here may need therapy to avoid suicide when this thing fiinally closes. BJ may need to find a job for something to do. Mary will use a gun to kill herself. Farmie will just spend more time with the doorknob, and Capn may have to actually spend time talking with his buddy Chas, who will have nobody to talk to now,except for the 3 people left in his congregation.

McClatchy said it will suspend its quarterly dividend after paying the first quarter 2009 dividend for the foreseeable future in order to preserve cash for debt repayment. The first quarter 2009 dividend of nine cents per share is half the per share dividend paid in the 2008 first quarter.

“Ok for Obama to stay warm burning fossil fuels, but the rest of us are causing Global Warming.”
SO, now you want us to believe you know what kind of heat is used in the Oval Office??
Oh forgot about Cosmos…
My forecast for the End of the WE Blog actually coincides with Cosmos’ forecast for the end of the World.
I’m providing the information to you 24/7 bloggers as a public service announcement, so that you can mentally prepare yourselves for the day when this forum is gone.
Cosmos will have to find another GW forum to broadcast his propaganda, but then I’m confident he’ll find another site quickly, as his Google Skills to find and post links demonstrates the full extent and scope of his ability.
Additional public service announcements regarding THE END will be posted at randomly selected intervals (so as not to alert the enemy) and also broadcast on your local Emergency Alert System.
Poor JJ will have to find another blog to spread his ignorant falsehoods, like his John Coleman post.
Shoe monument for man who threw footwear at Bush
TIKRIT, Iraq (Reuters) – An Iraqi town has unveiled a giant monument of a shoe in honour of the journalist who threw his footwear at former U.S. President George W. Bush.
The two-metre (six-foot) high statue, unveiled on Thursday in former dictator Saddam Hussein’s home town of Tikrit, depicts a bronze-coloured shoe, filled with a plastic shrub.
“Muntazer: fasting until the sword breaks its fast with blood; silent until our mouths speak the truth,” reads an inscription, in honour of journalist Muntazer al-Zaidi, who hurled his shoes at Bush and called him a “dog” at a news conference during the former president’s final visit to Iraq.
Zaidi has been held in jail in Baghdad since the incident, facing charges of assaulting a visiting head of state.
Fatin Abdul Qader, head of an orphanage and children’s organisation in the town, said the one-and-a-half-tonne monument by artist Laith al-Amiri was titled “statue of glory and generosity”.
“This statue is the least expression of our appreciation for Muntazer al-Zaidi, because Iraqi hearts were comforted by his throw,” she said.
http://in.reuters.com/article/worldNews/idINIndia-37735120090129
(Monument is pictured at link.)
“Chas” notes –
“…even managed to work in the Super Bowl at the end… “
That was a nice touch, wasn’t it?
Politic, of course.
He appreciates the Cardinals’ underdog status but Pennsylvania has more electoral votes! (Oh, yeah. And the better team.)
It sorta like… I have no idea who the Jonas Brothers are other than they’re important to 10-year-old Malia Obama. But he knows they’re important to Malia and so they’re important (sort of) to him.
I doubt — in the grand scheme of things — President Obama doesn’t really care who wins the Super Bowl. But he knows about it and probably won’t choke on a pretzel if he watches it.
The link I posted was immediately at the end of a two-hour meeting. According to Bob Woodward, “you had George Bush for thirty minutes, tops. Or his mind would wander.” (It was an incredible scoop. Who would have thought Shrub had a mind?!)
Still no CONs in this forum have refuted what President Obama said.
Maybe it was a late Meals-on-Wheels delivery day.

Monkey, I am beginning to believe that Johnson and Pleefer share the same padded room at the asylum… LOL
Tina Williams, 19, of Syracuse, NY is now charged with felony abandonment of a child and endangering the welfare of a child. Her abandoned baby was discovered in some bushes by the suspect’s young cousin, while playing hide and seek last August. Since then, the baby has been adopted.
Just think, Parkay… If that 19 yr. old young mother would have visited Planned Parenthood, that baby wouldnt have been abandoned, and there would be one less NY State felony…
BTW, to watch the story of a young teen, and her unwanted pregnancy, watch the movie, JUNO…. But keep a box of kleenex handy…

Chas, It’s not about not wearing a suit jacket, though you tried to make it the issue. It’s about keeping his thermostat so high you can grow orchids.
Don’t you remember how he told us during the campaign how we can’t expect to keep our thermostat at 72 degrees and expect the rest of the world to like us (paraphrased)? You must have a selective memory, ignorant or worship him to defend him you way you do.
“WHY do you even want to turn something so friggin trivial into a major talking point??”

This blog has one minute time stamps.
It takes only a few seconds to post, when doing a copy/paste — and even less time, using multiple windows.
One person could easily make multiple posts within a one-minute “window”, using 2 or more nics.
Or two people, on 2 computers could have time stamps 1 minute apart even if they clicked “post comment” simultaneously, due to server and posting delays.

I could care less if he keeps his office warm enough to go nude as long as he don’t try to tell everybody else to keep their thermostats down.

The thing about being acclimated to Hawaii weather (where air-conditioning is rare), is that you might use a bit more energy in the winter because 70 is FREEZING, but you’ll save it in the summer when you open windows and turn on a fan instead of cranking up the A/C. It evens out.

I didn’t check the blog from last night till just now & saw your question about Turkey Vultures. They are all over Kansas in spring & summer; that is the breeding season for them. A Turkey Vulture weighs about 4 lbs; is 26″ long; and has a wing spread of around 67″.
In warm weather, I usually am most likely to see them somewhat east & northeast of Wichita but they can be most anywhere in the US. In the winter, they tend to hide out in southern states (Texas to Florida & some southeastern states like Georgia. We don’t see much of them in the really cold weather.
They call ‘em buzzards in Texas.

Maybe I’m ANTI, or maybe ANTI is me?
We both have posts at 7:10 pm.
Different time-stamps was how donndublin wanted to prove he was not okie.
==================
Yeah yeah, I know. I tried to prove my single nic that way many moons ago. Libs pointed out the same thing.
I just don’t care to prove who I am or anyone else is anymore.
“If you believe that Ok and I are the same person, then you’re just a delusional or as stupid as BJ.”
And then you say the writing styles are different? You both are not terribly bright and given to poor spelling and reactionary posting. If you AINT the same person, humanity is gifted with two cranky old bats.
Why so reactionary?
donndublin,
If you don’t know how to do copy/pastes, and open multiple browser windows, you should ask someone to help you.

Time out at Starbucks?
I guess I would probably ignore the subpoena too.
Hey Tara,
One of the coldest experiences in my life was on the Pali Highway in ‘69. I got caught in a January rain storm coming back from the North Shore on my motor cycle.
I about froze to death!

Well, the Crats are playing with fire here.
If they want a firestorm of revenge from Republicans in the House and Senate, they’ll get one and it will be quite painful.
The Crats just need to move and do important business of the people, instead of this ‘fishing expedition.’
We sure have enough challenges!
If there is adequate evidence of crimes those should be handled by whoever has the authority to issue a subpoena that has consequences for being ignored.

Well, that’s the problem, there were no crimes committed.
The reason for the subpoena is about the “attorneys being fired.”
To me, it’s irrelevant – if Obama wants fire every Republican attorney out there serving the justice department, that’s fine by me. They all serve at the pleasure of the President.
But for Pete’s sake, let’s move on, this is b..s.
I thought it was irrelevant to bring impeachment charges against Clinton for lying about something that every person who has ever been caught has lied about, especially when they knew in advance there weren’t enough votes to convict, but hey, they spent much of our money and time doing it anyway. Of course, under Clinton our country was in a bunch better shape and we didn’t have the serious challenges we do today.
Do Lib women love to be cheated on and lied to?
I don’t think that is a partisan activity, neither the participation nor the hurt inflicted.
I don’t think that is a partisan activity
===============
I don’t either but it seems the Lib women always look the other way when a man in power cheats and lies to them…..and then they stay with the cheating/lying bastid.
Well, I gotta go…got a misbehaving cat situation.
I haven’t walked a mile in their moccasins, mine have worn enough blisters and provided ample bumps in the road.
I’ve never done any studying on who has committed the most and what party they represented and whether their spouse stayed or left or…
I can tell you much more about whether they’ve been competent in their jobs. I have paid attention to that!
Notice to all Weblog Posters.
With the arrival of the One, it is only fitting that to be consistent in posting we need to agree on some standard names for the Bush replacement.
(The Weblog officially ran out of Bush Bashing Threads so have started on the Republican Party.)
When referring to our new president with adoration, the correct political reference would be:
“Our darling Barack…”
Example. Our darling Barack came from a poor background and grew up in the hood of Chicago smoking cocaine and mainlining Heroin.
When referring to our new president in his role as “The One” administering to his followers in control of both houses of Congress:
“De fuhrer Obama…”
Example: De Fuhrer Obama has paid back his ACORN cronies with 4.5 billion dollars of federal funding which will enable them to hire record numbers to canvass and register more democrats for the next election.
This has been a public service message brought to you by the Weblog BlogMonitor. We will attempt to continue this service, until they pull the last plug and the newspaper finally folds when only liberals who cannot afford to subscribe are left to read it.
Obama praise to Allah. We give up, you the terrorists can take over the world. Hope this is not so.

Oh BJ is afraid of me. Hoping I leave.
Soon BJ, your playground will be gone.
What will you do then? Watch Oprah?
BJ,
About time for your sniveling lil friend Chas to show up. Then Capn.
SSDD.
Johnson, your caretakers are looking for you… Go back to your padded room… before you hurt yourself… ROFL!!
I am SO enjoying your pain there “JimJohnson”.
How do ya like that stimulus plan sparky?
BlogMonitor = B-M How very fitting!!
BJ, how do you like holding your hand out?
Getting a new bigger tin cup this year?
How’s it feel to be dependent on someone else to take care of you and your boy?
Must make you mighty proud.
Teaching your boy to beg too?
GOOOD “JimJohnson” good!
I can feel your pain.
See “Jim”? The amusement here is that you are only interesting in the speculation of who you used to be.
Sort of the conflicted position the ideologically like…minded? such as you find themselves in.
I believe they can charge rove with contempt of congress, and lock him up. He no longer has the administration covering his back (butt), and the new justice dept. could/would not provide him any cover either.
good night; good luck; god bless —
whatever you conceive god to be!!
blessings ALL!!
blessings on our economy!!
so mote it be!!
Children behave…………………

It turns out that there can be consequences; if the House Committee wants to, they can have him arrested & held for a Grand Jury hearing, according to the news on some of the channels Thursday evening. Remember when the woman reporter from the New York Times refused to name her source in the Scooter Libby grand jury trial & Patrick Fitzgerald sent her to jail where she stayed until Libby (or somebody else) gave her permission to answer the questions she had been asked. I think she was held for more than a few months. Do you think Rove would hold out like that for George?
linda,
The reporter was Judith Miller; it wasn’t Fitzgerald who directly jailed her; it was a judge.
She spent 12 weeks in jail until Scooter called her & gave her permission to answer the questions.
My memory wasn’t totally reliable so I googled her for the correct info.
