Hey, someones got to do this.

Hey.. maybe Obama is human after all! Or maybe he was looking for concealed weapons.
Charity Wilson didn’t go looking for a fight when she went to the Cannon House Office Building yesterday, but she was ready in case one broke out.
Wilson, an American Federation of Government Employees lobbyist, was prepared to provide Homeland Security Committee members with rebuttal arguments against any attempt to weaken or kill legislation that would allow airport screeners the right to bargain collectively.

Since when is searching peoples suitcases and waving a wand over their body skilled labor?
Let them get together. Replace them with skilled monkey’s, dogs and more machines.
“Since when is searching peoples suitcases and waving a wand over their body skilled labor?”
It is the use of the X-ray Machine which requires “skilled labor”; you have to have the babies in the correct position before scanning.
Have you flown lately?
It’s a conveyer belt and a “stop” button.

Remember signing statements? Those were the dastardly little postscripts George Bush attached to legislation that he didn’t completely approve of. Signing statements ignore the “fundamental principle’’ of the separation of powers, the American Bar Association huffed. On the campaign trail, candidate Obama was asked, “Do you promise not to use presidential [signing statements] to get your way?’’ “Yes,’’ he answered. “I taught the Constitution for 10 years, I believe in the Constitution, and I will obey the Constitution of the United States. We are not going to use signing statements as a way of doing an end run around Congress.’’
That was easy!
Less easy is explaining away his six signing statements so far, an impressive one-a-month clip. “Signing statements serve a legitimate function in our system,’’ Obama now says, “at least when based on well-founded constitutional objections.’’ Mr. President, meet my friend George Orwell, inventor of Newspeak, who memorably wrote, “Political language has to consist largely of euphemism, question-begging and sheer cloudy vagueness.’’

Go read the rest. It turns out that “change” isn’t really very much change at all, at least on many of the issues candidate Obama showcased such ‘fierce moral urgency.’ for “change.”
Hmmmm. Think governing is a bit different than campaigning? Reality a bit different than posturing?

Here we go again!
I find it curious that airport screeners, quasi-government employees want a collective bargaining position. They have no competitors, but can be easily replaced.
Besides, shutting down an entire industry if they go on strike holds a little too much power imo. It’s little more than blackmail.
I know it’s trivial – but: how do you think this would be covered in, say, a Palin administration?

More spelling errors plague Obama releases
@ 2:09 pm by Michael O’Brien
Misspellings continued to plague the Obama administration on Thursday, after two more releases containing errors were sent to reporters in the last 24 hours.
After misspelling the president’s name as “Barak Obama” yesterday on an official document sent to reporters, the General Services Administration messed up another message when announcing it had awarded an $18 million contract to redesign the website keeping track of spent stimulus dollars.
“Recvoery.gov Version 2.0 $18 Million Contract Awarded,” the release’s subject line read. (”Recovery” was spelled correctly in the body of the email.)
The White House also sent out a release containing a typo in its joint statement from White House and the spokesman for U.K. Prime Minister Gordon Brown about the leader between Obama and the British PM today.
“The Prime Minister wlecomed the President’s plans for a nuclear security conference in 2010,” the sentence read.

Virginia Nudist Camp to Stage Largest Simultaneous Skinny Dip
Fox News
IVOR, Va. — Virginia’s only nudist camp is doing its part to help stage the nation’s largest simultaneous skinny dip this weekend.
==========================
Of course, the majority of the participants will be from the Rest Easy retirement home and Loinda’s Fat Farm.
I’ll keep an open eye about this ‘evil eye’ photo because I read somewhere that the link I posted yesterday with the Prez and Sarkozy checking out the scenery had been photo shopped.
If it was, my apologies for posting it.
Baloney Ballistics ~ Gun databases fail
http://www.reason.com/news/show/130311.html
“Seven years ago, New York started a database of “ballistic fingerprints” for all new handguns sold in the state. The bill’s backers sold it as a crime-solving device, arguing that the state would now have a sample of a spent shell and bullet for every new gun sold. This, they said, would help police connect future evidence from crime scenes to specific guns.
Since then, the authorities have entered 200,000 newly purchased guns into the database and spent $1 million dollars a year on the system. Yet it hasn’t led to a single solved crime. The only other state with such a database, Maryland, can attribute at least one conviction to the system since it was created in 2000-more than zero, but few enough that the state’s own Police Forensics Division has suggested scrapping the program because of its demonstrated lack of benefits.”
So lets see, so far 1 crime has been solved with the help of these balasitc databases in nearly 10 years since Maryland and New York have started using them.
Just another liberal waste of money trying to make guns safer with their “reasonable” gun control… yeah right.
“Where’s that Quayle-O-Meter when you need it?” [GMC]
When they start messing up on word definitions, and CONCEPTS, then bring on the Quayle-O-Meter…
I mean, honestly, you are making a HUGE muontain out of a typographiacl error issue…
Gosh Nathan,
You mean gun registration doesn’t solve or stop crime?
Could it be:
1. Since convicted criminals can’t buy guns legally, they don’t register their guns?
2. Only law-abiding people are forced to register their guns?
But WHY would the Government only want to have a database of law-abiding gun owners?
Hmmm……..
A clue about what happened to the ’shovel ready’ stimulus jobs;
“The Obama administration revealed last week that as much as $16.1 million from the stimulus program is going to save the San Francisco Bay Area habitat of, among other things, the endangered salt marsh harvest mouse.
That has revived Republican criticism that the pet project was an “invisible earmark” in the massive spending bill for Mrs. Pelosi, whose San Francisco district abuts the Bay, and epitomizes what Republicans say is the failure of stimulus spending so far to help an economy still shedding jobs.”
http://www.washingtontimes.com/news/2009/jul/10/gop-hits-pelosi-for-mouse-funds/
Nathan you mean that what Tiahrt said about these records is in fact accurate and only an attempt to catalogue ‘legal’ gun owners?
What a concept.

““The Obama Administration’s allocation of $2 million each in Recovery Act funds to the Low Income Investment Fund and the Northern California Community Loan Fund, both based in San Francisco, for Community Development Financial Institutions is welcome news to the Bay Area. These funds will support new economic recovery projects in our community as our nation is facing many financial challenges.
“The Low Income Investment Fund and the Northern California Community Loan Fund are two organizations that do exceptional work in the Bay Area. The Low Income Investment Fund serves low-income communities in San Francisco, Los Angeles, and New York City. The Northern California Community Loan Fund provides loans and technical assistance to nonprofit organizations that serve low-income communities throughout Northern California, especially affordable housing developers and human service organizations. Their work is essential to providing low-income individuals in our community with adequate access to affordable financial products and services.”

Background information:
The Department of the Treasury announced $90 million in financial assistance under the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act today for 59 Community Development Financial Institutions committed to serving economically distressed communities across the nation. The Low Income Investment Fund and the Northern California Community Loan Fund, both based in San Francisco, will receive $2 million each in these funds.
The Low Income Investment fund will use the funds from this award to provide pre-development, acquisition, and construction lending to a variety of projects, including affordable housing, charter schools, and child care facilities. The Northern California Community Loan Fund will use its Financial Assistance award for capital reserves and to increase technical assistance to small community organizations.”

==============================================
You might want to check out that Washington Times source… Doesnt look like any funds for Pelosi’s District have anything to do with any mouses….
“Some irony is just too delicious. Tell me, Chas, this was on purpose . . . .” [GMC]
Of course it was… Just to make a point…
Chas if you lived in an area that just got $16 million to save a swamp mouse wouldn’t you try to put a good spin on it?
Don’t be so gullible.
The Prez appears to have his work cut out for him. China is still after the dollar it seems.
“The discussion, which took place between the leaders of five emerging economies and the G8 industrialised nations, including Barack Obama, caused concern among western leaders.
“We should have a better system for reserve currency issuance and regulation, so that we can maintain relative stability of major reserve currencies exchange rates and promote a diversified and rational international reserve currency system,” said Mr Dai, according to the Chinese foreign ministry.
While he did not single out the dollar, Mr Dai was clearly calling for the world to diversify its reserve currency system and stabilise exchange rates among leading currencies.
China has made a series of attacks on the dollar in recent months, and went as far as to question Hillary Clinton, the US secretary of state, about the trustworthiness of the currency on her visit to China earlier this year.”
BTW Chas just a word of advise. I gave one source and you gave another. You accepted yours at face value and told me to check mine out. See this is called short sightedness.
Mine is just as valid as yours. Better see which one had a reason to justify this much money for a swamp mouse.
This is called critical thinking.
Okie, why dont you check out the dollar figures, for starters… LOOK it up… Your $16 million figure appears to be where your error lies… The San Francisco are only got $2 Million out of the stimulus… Just as stated in the link I posted…
You, on the other hand, posted from the Moonie Times….
Spelling errors aside that isn’t what bothered me about this press release. Eighteen million to redesign a web site. Unbelievable.
You could hire two good web designers for $150,000 a year in the DC area and give them a good secretary for less than $50,000 a year. Where in the heck did this contract come from?
“Meanwhile, the Washington Times reports, the Republican National Committee “is using President Obama’s own words against him in a tough new ad that points out the nation’s rising unemployment numbers as it shows the president with his feet up on his desk and defending his economic stimulus plan.” The Washington Times reports the Administration “revealed last week that as much as $16.1 million from the stimulus program is going to save the San Francisco Bay Area habitat of, among other things, the endangered salt marsh harvest mouse.” That item “has revived Republican criticism that the pet project was an ‘invisible earmark’ in the massive spending bill for” Speaker Nancy Pelosi.”
Chas if this were false then the administration and Pelosi would have put out a news release specifically denouncing it.
Too much smoke for no fire.
“…the salt marshes are not in the speaker’s urban district and the harvest mouse never inhabited the city.
Two San Francisco Bay Area projects were among 50 marine and coastal habitat restoration projects undertaken by the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration with $167 million from the stimulus, dubbed the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009.
About $7.6 million went to restore more than 1,990 acres comprising three former salt ponds in the southern end of San Francisco Bay and $8.5 million went to restore wetlands in American Canyon salt pond, also in the Bay Area.
The Commerce Department, which oversees NOAA, said the 50 projects were chosen from a pool of 814 proposals totaling more than $3 billion in requests. The agency said it worked through a rigorous selection process to identify and set priorities for projects meeting the stimulus law’s criteria.
However, even prior to the stimulus vote, Republican lawmakers said NOAA was indicating that saving the harvest mouse would be a top priority for any stimulus money it received.
Thanks for the open thread, WE editors. I want to share with your readers a constituent education initiative that I’m involved with at work. (I work for Research!America in communications.)
Basically we’re asking all members of Congress to respond to 17 questions about health and research, including health care reform.
We’d love your help getting the word out about Your Congress-Your Health and encouraging the Kansas delegation to respond..
Sure Chas, Ok Chas, and you of course don’t want to talk about ’shovel ready’ or give anyone here a lesson on statistics either.
Believe what you will. Her district. Her backyard. My my some people are really gullible.
“Pelosi spokesman Drew Hammill called the attack on the mouse “a tired and tried tale of Republican desperation,” noting that the mouse was never mentioned in the legislation and the project competed with other restoration jobs for stimulus dollars.” [From Okie's own "article" link]
==========================================
The mouse wasnt IN any legislation, not to mention, that the mouse’s habitat isnt even in Pelosi’s District!! Just more of Boehner’s rantings…. The Moonie Times loves to make up stories…. always has…
See the link above to the house.gov web site, to read the stimulus funds going to Pelosi’s District….
Late night humor that is right on target;
———
Conan O’Brien: “House Speaker Nancy Pelosi said she sees no need for a House resolution in praise of Michael Jackson. … Pelosi added, ‘Isn’t it enough that I’m slowly starting to look like him?’”
David Letterman: “World leaders pledged to stop global warming. They said, ‘Yeah we got to stop global warming.’ And they all said, ‘Yes, absolutely.’ Then they got on their private planes and flew home. So that’ll nip that in the bud.”
Chas how much money went to restore the swamp land that is the habitat of the mouse?
That is the clue to the path of this money.
You and I will agree to disagree on this one.

In fairness Pelosi not even the entire City and County of San Francisco in the 8th Congressional district. The City and County are one in the same, there is no other municipality within the County of San Francisco other than the City of San Francisco.
While it’s highly populated, it is very small in the area of square miles and extremely urban.
There are plenty of other DimLib Democrats to blame for giving $16,000,000 for a mouse habitat in an area that covers five Congressional districts, but Pelosi isn’t one of them.
Thanks Kia, for the honesty…
So, Okie, seems that is was NOAA — a government agency — that asked for that stimulus money, that includes a LOT more than just a mouse… I KNOW you can clearly read that — That much is pretty clearly stated in the Wash. Times article…
The Article is just trash-talking against Pelosi, whose District isnt involved in the mouse habitat…. Just what one might expect out of the Moonie Times….
“Believe what you will. Her district. Her backyard. My my some people are really gullible.” [Okie]
NO OKIE… it ISNT her friggin District…. Surely you arent going to be that dumb, are you??? She serves the 8th District… totally URBAN…. NOT the District that includes the wetlands…. AND, those funds you are bit*hing about are allocated for a LOT more than the poor wittle mousie…. READ for a change, woman…. PLEASE???
ALSO, Okie… The MOUSE thing isnt even included in the Legislation…. It’s just another Boehner Rant, cause he didnt get his way!! And you’re hangin right in there WITH Boehner!!

=============================================
“About $7.6 million went to restore more than 1,990 acres comprising three former salt ponds in the southern end of San Francisco Bay and $8.5 million went to restore wetlands in American Canyon salt pond, also in the Bay Area.”
That quote is from my above link…
ALSO… The MOUSE habitat in question is NOT even in Pelosi’s District….
There are 5 Congressional Districts that include areas that could be considered “wetlands” in the Bay Area.
California District 12-16 representatives
Jackie Speier (D)
Pete Stark (D)
Anna Eshoo (D)
Mike Honda (D)
Zoe Lofgren (D)
I’m not a fan of any of them. They represent areas that represent the majority of the Bay Area’s population. Because unemployment in those areas has remained low (technology and tourism industry) they get away with putting funds into stupid things because the way I see it you represent millions of people that because of the local economy really don’t need Governments help. But because again it’s such a big population you manage to get money and get to put it towards crazy special interests. Part of the problem with Government in general.
ONE more >>>>
However, even prior to the stimulus vote, Republican lawmakers said NOAA was indicating that saving the harvest mouse would be a top priority for any stimulus money it received.

BHO lied to the American public, and the libs have absolutely nothing to say about it. I would imagine ‘capn’ will just respond by screaming “bush bush bush bush bush” if he says anything at all.
otherwise…bho LIES and the libs are totally silent, not a single post in defense of their hero.
kind of hard to defend a LIAR, isn’t it? what? what do I hear? cricketts chirping?
Chas why do you get so explosive? Even removing the speakers house from the legislation you still have millions going to restore a swampland instead of creating jobs that are ’shovel ready’. Ask the farmers out there what this and the legislation to protect that little fish have cost the farmers in this fertile valley.
We are paying higher prices now because of this for all fresh food we eat. The stimulus money was supposed to create jobs not protect a swamp land. The dims have used it for just that.
I have no problem saying I misspoke if Mr Kia said I did. The speaker wasn’t alone in this request so I apologize for giving her all of the credit.
Now as I asked you and monkey yesterday – where are all of the shovel ready jobs Obama promised if he got the stimulus #1 bill passed?
Okie, as both Monkey and I told you yesterday, the Stimulus funds have not all been allocated yet… Do you know what kind of “shovel ready” jobs it takes to rehabilitate those Bay Area situations that you are yappingn about??? I can tell you that it will take a LOT of jobs….
We also told you about the MANY road construction jobs that are CURRENTLY underway… many of them using stimulus funds that have now been accepted in States that initially said they would not accept stimulus… including, Alaska, Ohio, and South Carolina….
Also, just look around this City…. LOOK at all of the street construction going on… even if it does bog down traffic, there are HUNDREDS of people working….
Monkey mentioned the U.S. 69 project… I also mentioned the many miles of I-35 being worked on… also, MILES of I-40 west of OK City….
Look around you, and you can SEE all of those “shovel ready” jobs being put to good use…. Good grief, even BOEHNER had to acknowledge the number of people employed with stimulus funds in Ohio… after he griped about the funds earlier….
Do keep up, ok???
protect that little fish [Okie]
Hmmmmm Now I see you have changed your focus from a mouse, to a fish…. WHY do you have such a horrible time keepong on point???
Ummmmm farmers dont usually grow crops in swamp land…. eh???

The dims have a really hard time staying on point. I asked for specific projects that are going on because of the stimulus bill that was passed in the dark of night in order to keep unemployment below 8%. Can’t name any can you.

=============================================
I see “little fish” in this post… I dont see any mention of the mouse that you started with your griping…. You want to reconsider your previous statement??
ALSO, even though Pelosi isnt a part of this stimulus fund release, since it isnt in HER DISTRICT…. You still want to rag on her??? My, how nice of you….
Did you also forget, that the funds being used for the Wetlands come on request of NOAA, and not from any House members specifically??
Guess you missed that one too, eh??
Do you know that any of the current projects being worked on in this area are NOT being done because of stimulus funds, or the promise of such funds??? Well, DO YOU???
I grew up here…. And what you say about Kellogg Avenue, is quite true…. I still have fond memories of all the jokes about the “bridge to nowhere” across the river…. MANY years ago…. But, so what?? It still involves local, state, AND federal funds for the Kellogg projects… So, what is your point???
People are WORKING… instead of drinking tomato beer in a bar…. They are doing “shovel ready” jobs…. And ALL of us can see the work…. Feels good to see that heppening…. or at least it SHOULD feel good….
Now, why dont you go do some research… and get your facts straight, before you come here attacking either me or Monkey… And go check out what is happening with the Ohio Road Construction, that even BOEHNER says comes from stimulus funds…. Funds he didnt want Ohio to have… But now he crows about all the new jobs…. LOL

The Power of the Pope does not come from his little nation state the size of 4 city blocks.
The Power of the Pope comes from the millions of Catholic supporters (and their money) worldwide.
You seriously think Obama is visiting the Pope because of concerns regarding the 4 square block nation state?
Absurd Chas.
YOUR man is violating the Separation of Church and State for POLITICAL gain. That is all.
But then, violating the Constitution is wrong only when it does NOT further your own agenda.

Tennessee law a gauge for gun rights support
In conservative Murfreesboro, gun rights are sacred, but some say allowing permit holders to carry weapons into city parks is going too far. Tourism is a concern too.
By Richard Fausset
July 9, 2009
Reporting from Murfreesboro, Tenn. — Like many Tennesseans, Mary Beth Sauls supports the right to bear arms. But as she sat by a public pool full of splashing kids recently, the 54-year-old grandmother said she was worried about a new state law that may soon allow gun-permit holders to carry their weapons into city parks like this one.
“I don’t think this should really be a place for guns, with all these children around,” said Sauls, as she watched a grandson competing in a swim meet.
The Tennessee law, which takes effect Sept. 1, is the latest in a nationwide push by gun-rights advocates to tear down the legal walls that have prevented permit holders from packing their weapons into previously forbidden territory.
In May, Congress voted to allow guns in America’s national parks. A number of similar bills were introduced in state legislatures this year to allow guns in parks, bars, college campuses and churches.

Chas from my post;
” Ask the farmers out there what this and the legislation to protect that little fish have cost the farmers in this fertile valley.”
Problem with comprehension Chas? The word ‘this’ in the sentence refers to what you and I have been discussing obviously. So ‘this’ and that little fish are the culprits and the dim congressmen and senators are the perpetrators.

Chas pay close attention now. We aren’t talking about how many men and women are using shovels today on many road projects. We are talking about the ‘many shovel ready’ jobs Obama promised if only the stimulus package was passed without giving anyone time to read it.
There are jobs going on now that would have been going on no matter who is prez and no matter if the stimulus passed. There are many thousands of people out of work that Obama promised he would put back to work right away.
That is the problem in a nutshell. Now what is your solution.

Chicago gun violence: Where’s the outrage?
By Gerald D. Skoning
July 10, 2009
The long 4th of July weekend featured glorious fireworks along the lakefront and deadly gunfire in inner-city neighborhoods. Chicago tallied 63 shootings, one stabbing and 11 fatal shootings.
That’s just the latest carnage. The city logged 202 homicide victims in the first six months of 2009: 88 percent were male, 78 percent were black, 44 percent were between the ages of 20 and 30, and 84 percent were shot to death.During the same time, we lost 101 U.S. soldiers in Iraq and 99 in Afghanistan.

The new leaner, meaner GM has emerged from bankruptcy. Another industry saved by the big O.
===============================
Who said it was saved?
-How many GM employees were fired?
-How many GM plants were closed?
-How many GM Dealers were shut-down and had their inventories stolen?
If it IS SAVED, then how much PROFIT has GM made today? Next week? This year?
You might as well say that Abe Lincoln is SAVED, because Obama waved a magic wand in his old bedroom.

A stand for principle on gun rights
BY MIKE COX • MICHIGAN ATTORNEY GENERAL • July 9, 2009
The Free Press editorialized Wednesday — “Your taxes at work for the NRA (and Cox)” — against my filing of a legal brief with the U.S. Supreme Court that supports the National Rifle Association’s challenge of a Chicago ordinance banning the possession of most handguns.
My support for this challenge to the Chicago gun ban is rooted in Michigan’s own Constitution, which states: “Every person has a right to keep and bear arms for the defense of himself and the state.”
My defense of this constitutional principle is longstanding. In 2007, I filed an amicus brief with the U.S. Supreme Court in opposition to the District of Columbia’s drastic ban on guns, arguing that the Second Amendment’s right “to keep and bear arms” is an individual right. The Supreme Court agreed with that position and overturned the D.C. ban in its Heller decision.
The Free Press failed to mention that 34 attorneys general signed on to the NRA’s challenge of Chicago’s strict gun ban, including both Democrats and Republicans. This isn’t about politics; it’s about standing up for principle.
In my own experience of more than 13 years as a homicide prosecutor and head of the homicide unit of the Wayne County Prosecutor’s Office, I never saw anyone charged with murder who had a license to legally carry a concealed weapon. Most people who want to possess guns are law-abiding and present no threat to others. Rather than the availability of weapons, my experience is that gun violence is driven by culture, police presence, or the lack of same, and failures in the supervision of parolees and probationers.
Since becoming attorney general, I have worked to ensure that the rights of Michigan citizens to defend themselves are protected. For example, I have expanded the number of states that recognize Michigan CCW permits from eight states to 35 states. And I’ll continue to take action when constitutional priciples are threatened.
I make no apologies for my support of the Constitution and the Second Amendment.

Shhhhhhhhh. JimJohnson – don’t tell anyone, but that is current law in Kansas now. A city may ban in buildings; they may not ban in open areas, including parks (assuming one is a CCL holder).
And Phantom – “emerged from Bankruptcy” means, in this case, “nationalized.” I for one will not by anything from Gov’t Motors as long as it is in fact Gov’t Motors.
BTW – since I own it, where’s my new Camaro? How ’bout that stimulus package?

kind of hard to defend a LIAR, isn’t it? what? what do I hear? cricketts chirping?
______________________
Rap, what happened to you? You used to be one of the more thoughtful posters.
BHO didn’t lie.
But he’s sure managed to get you Republicans into a panty-wadding dither.
XXX,
Its called ODS – Obama Derangement Syndrome. Some people have it real bad…
Law or no law, I wonder how many people carry guns in their swim trunks at the public pool?
I have many holsters, but I’ve yet to see a Galco for a Speedo. (Picture that huh, JJ in a Speedo!)
Grandma should be more worried about the chlorine and foul human emissions in a crowded public cess pool.
I’ve noted that republicans who think that white men are the victims of widespread racism, seem to really have ODS in a particularly bad way. Those poor white men, makes ya wanta cry a river, I’m telling ya.
Steve and XXX I have just asked some questions about what Obama said. Many people want to know where the jobs Obama promised were there just waiting for funding. If the economy were booming no one would be asking this question. If jobs were being created no one would be asking this question.
Aren’t you even a little curious about the things he has told you. Because several on the left are now asking these same questions because they are being impacted by his inaction.
Just wondering. Can’t seem to get an answer from the left.
“My support for this challenge to the Chicago gun ban is rooted in Michigan’s own Constitution, which states: “Every person has a right to keep and bear arms for the defense of himself and the state.””
And, Michigan’s State Constitution has exactly WHAT bearing on a law in Chicago???
It doesn’t Chas.
Do you HAVE a point?
StevenD why is it that the left always tries to put a racial spin on every discussion concerning Obama. Are you so shallow that you can’t see beyond his color. What would MLK think that you always see his color but never see the content of his character.
I am beginning to think that the left is made up of closet racists. Sad.
Maybe Phantom meant that the SOUL of GM had been saved by Obama.
Not the company itself and its profitability, but its SOUL.
Ya think the Pope gave THE ONE some surplus Holy Water to sprinkle over Detroit?
Yea, seems like Michigan’s AG is a bit out of his ball park…. AND using Michigan tax dollars in support of the NRA…
THAT is a good point to make in this matter… Kudo’s to the Free Press for reporting this….
Psst..Chas, it was the Opinion of MIKE COX • MICHIGAN ATTORNEY GENERAL.
Nothing was being reported.
I didnt happen to see MLK brought up on this thread by anybody but… okobserver… Gosh, who would’ve thunk it??
Hint: Chas read the FULL opinion. That will answer your questions. R E A D.
Say Chas, if the SCOTUS was reviewing a 1st Amendment case that threatened the Free Speech Rights of Kansas citizens, do you suppose the KS AG should file an amicus brief to the SCOTUS?
Or, would you prefer the KS AG do nothing to defend a potential Federal challenge to KS Free Speech rights?
Michigan’s AG filed “a legal brief with the U.S. Supreme Court that supports the National Rifle Association’s challenge of a Chicago ordinance banning the possession of most handguns.”
And then, he wonders why the Free Press is challenging him on his position?? Gee, he is AG of MICHIGAN… not Illinois…. And he is at least allegedly, using TAX payer dollars to further his own interests by filing a legal brief with the SCOTUS…
Since the Court is not now in session, looks like he will have to wait a while to see what becomes of the brief…
What if MO considered a law limiting Free Speech, would that impact any citizens of KS?
Should the KS AG not file his opinion in this matter?

Chas I brought up MLK because he was ahead of his time in wanting black and white to be equal and not different because of their skin color. Please address your remarks to Davis since he brought up the racial issue.

Oh, that SCOTUS 1st Amendment Challenge would impact all 57 States Chas. Not just KS.
Shouldn’t all States stand up for the rights of their citizens when such rights are challenged by the SCOTUS?
Well, Okie, you sure like to bring up MLK whenever it seems to suit your liking… just like you did yesterday…. BUt, you didnt answer my question…. NOBODY but YOU brought up MLK… What Steven said has nothing to do with MLK…. Get your head out of your bu++… for a change….
Ok, knock it off. You know you are only allowed to bring up subjects only after it cleared by Chas.
Oh, dear…..
I’ve been reading through the posts from yesterday’s open thread. And now I think I know why I recently suffered either 1) a heart attack; 2) a panic attack; and/or 3) acute apoplexy and/or gender homicide.
Randall Terry was here. And evidently he wants to “move to Wichita.” Excuse me, but…..
What the f—-ng f—?
Many people survive mild heart attacks; many people triumph over cancer; many people pass intestinal waste into their toilets every day. Hell, it’s part of life.
But the FilmFan cannot share zipcodeage with Mr. Sc—-m Scrunchage. I cannot. I simply cannot and remain convivial of nature and sweet of personality.
So……………
Chas you have had your bu++ handed to you so often you think it is part of polite conversation. Blog with yourself because that is your method of operation. You are truly an idiot and deserve all of the disrespect you garner on this blog.

That Chicago case Chas, has a large potential to impact the 2nd Amendment rights for All Citizens in the US.
The Chicago case has direct bearing on the laws in all 50 States, regarding the incorporation of the 2nd Amendment.
So yes, that is why “34 attorneys general signed on to the NRA’s challenge of Chicago’s strict gun ban, including both Democrats and Republicans.”
I agree with you OKie -
Time to let Chas Blog Himself for awhile.
Maybe that’s why a cadre of paramedics were called recently to a popular Wichita (Mexican) eatery. While attempting to dig into my Chile Con Queso and Quesadillas, I experienced a really icky tightness in my chest, mild nausea and sweating, and extreme fatigue. Moreover, I couldn’t relax and “make it all better.”
This was serious, amigos.
When the nice parameds arrived, my big, bad blood pressure was sky high (180/120). They put the electrodes on me – the cute little circular things with little metal pins in the middle – sort of like Thelma and Louise used to look like in the AA days of the 1970s – and told me a few unceremonious things…..
We will miss you filmfan but maybe you can move closer to your recently found brother and work on that relationship.
This blog is nationwide so you can blog from whereever you land.

Hud as you suggested I have given Chass my answer to his ranting. Bless his little pointed head. If I were as challenged as he is intellectually I might be as boorish as he is. I seriously doubt it though.
But the FilmFan cannot share zipcodeage with Mr. Sc—-m Scrunchage. I cannot. I simply cannot and remain convivial of nature and sweet of personality.
So……………
====================================================
As long as its not the exact zip down to the last two digits, you’re fine.
I’ve heard that logic used for other things as well.
Either I find a blood pressure med that works without inducing Thanatic suffering and death-dealing lethargy – or I’m a prime candidate for a heart attack or a stroke. Maybe sooner rather later. Or maybe not.
The paramedics urged me to go to the friggin’ hospital. I curtly explained that Big, B–chin’ Bertha has no health insurance. I wouldn’t let them call an ambulance, especially since I started to feel better within about 25 minutes.
But the warnings were unambiguous. Either my doc finds a suitable med or this chick’s vibrant days are numbered. Everthang will be fine until it strikes: I can work, sleep, eat and s–t – until The Big One makes its appearance.
And speaking of big, big things……
And speaking of big, big things……
====================================================

Oh wait…
Filthfan,- Either I find a blood pressure med that works without inducing Thanatic suffering and death-dealing lethargy – or I’m a prime candidate for a heart attack or a stroke. Maybe sooner rather later. Or maybe not.
——————–
Next time, just try a shot of tequila.
It’s funny how certain dynamics flash before one’s, um, eyes….when potential death may be nigh……
I’m not the jealous type. I wasn’t thinkin’ to myself, “Gee, my sister had a beachfront home in Hawaii when she croaked” or anything of the sort.
No, what I WAS thinkin’ is, “I’m gonna die without ever having been lei-ed properly? And now Randall Terry’s gonna fertilize this prairie with all the smegmic sewage he’s got?”
Sheesh! Woe is me!………
Speaking of shovel-ready, Chas is piling it deep today.
Front loaders are much more efficient…
Sounds like you better get to Hawaii then.
Lawd A-Mighty! I gotta find that studly Phelps progeny – not the one who glared at me meanly and indicted Thelma and Louise on the laws of gravitas – but the titanic testosterone banquet who was shoutin’ nay-stee things and all that…..
Oh, I just KNOW there’s a place fo us, sir. I just KNOW it. I mean, that incredulous look on my face on 5/31/09 wasn’t revulsion. No, not at all.
This ex-convent-schoolgirl was fighting valiantly to remember the admonitions of the late Fulton Sheen: women who show desire are, for all intents and purpuses, hermaphroditic.
So, Big Bertha had a lot to deal with that night at the vigil.
And, I mean, I almost wanted to throw my voice. Not wanting to be crude and lewd, but if this joy trail could jabber, it would say something like this……
Randall Terry did say he was buying here in Wichita, I wonder if true how that will go over Troy Newman?
“Sir! Let’s join together and give thanks! I’m gonna die soon anyway. In fact, I may expire DURING the erotic jousting, so that would feed into all your ’sex=death’ theories!”
“I don’t think it would ruin your life anyway – given your manifest regard for the prettier sex…..I know I’m a tall chick – but what the heck…we could do thangs standing up.”
Of course, I’d have to deal with the horrible things exuding from his labial cavities – stuff ’bout gawd sendin’ shewters and all that
s–t….plus, he exuded from Freddie’s loins – that’s another big drawback, so……….
If the parameds are righteous, things don’t look that good for the FilmFan. ‘Cause you can see how sick my sense of hew-mur is today.
Randall Terry – moving to WICHITA????? GAWD SAVE US! I cannot – I repeat, I cannot – deal with his ugly mug and uglier countenance befouling our premises.
If this b–ch only has a short while to remain viable, I deserve to live out my days in relative tranquility. If Randall “Tiny Tears” Terry moves onto our fair shores, I’m gonna self-detonate.
And not in a good way……The FilmFan has standards…….even with a sick sense of humor……
Did Obama ever say in his 2007-2008 campaign something like:
“And if there is every a Global Crisis, I shall go see the Pope, and consult with him as to how to handle it.”
I don’t recall that he did. I doubt if he would have been elected if everyone knew Obama would go consult with the Pope.
Film, sorry to read of your health.
In all seriousness what difference does in make if Terry lives here or commutes?
FilmFan seems obsessed with Randall Terry.
On the other hand, don’t know the man and don’t care if I ever do.
My nerves are in sync and calm demeanor mode is on.

Steve and XXX I have just asked some questions about what Obama said. Many people want to know where the jobs Obama promised were there just waiting for funding. If the economy were booming no one would be asking this question. If jobs were being created no one would be asking this question.
_____________________
Okobserver, what, now it’s got to be instant gratification, or nothing?
I don’t know how many jobs have been created or saved by the stimulus package and neither do you. I do know that it took about 8 years for Republicans to really, really screw things up (that’s why the GOP was soundly defeated in the last election). I don’t expect things to get any better in the near future. It’s going to take time to un-fug the mess you Republicans made. What I do know is, at least we’re doing something different, as opposed to more tax breaks for the wealthy, the only idea Republicans seem to be able to muster.
You folks amaze me. You spend all day searching for the most shrill Con websites you can find to copy and paste lies and near lies on this blog like you think you’re accomplishing something. What a bunch of unimaginative crybabies!
Here’s something else to cry and gnash your teeth about. Obama is going to be president for about 3.5 more years; probably another 7.5 years. 2012 should be a walk through for Obama because the GOP can’t field a good candidate to run against him. And that noise you’re hearing? It’s the sound of your party falling down around your ears. Americans are soured on the Republican brand.
FilmFan, sure hope the doctor can find the right medicine and you get on the road to better health!
That giant sucking sound you hear is the devaluation of the U.S. Dollar down to nearly worthless currency and unemployment growing each day.

I think I predicted as early as election if not inauguration day that the GOP could run Trig Palin (translation anyone) and win in 2012.
Polling is with me.
Who woulda thunk “okobserver” would turn into a mean drunk? On elderberry wine!
XXX here is an idea I have that won’t be a tax cut for the ‘wealthy’. Translation anyone that the left thinks has a dime the government didn’t give them even if they did work for it.
Have a tax holiday. For the next 3 months suspend all taxes withheld on all wage owners. This will put the money in the hands of consumers and out of the hands of politicians. It will go to liberals and conservatives alike and will do more for the economy than all of the stimulus has done to this point. Will also cost much less than another stimulus package.
I really get tired of the left being the party of ‘if it is a conservative idea’ shoot it down. We are in this battle together and I am sorry that your and my prez isn’t doing the job he should be doing.
However unlike the left I won’t go silently.
And XXX stop with the hipocricy. You and every other lib on here griped about Bush from day one.
P.S. I no longer get W2 wages so this won’t give me a dollar more than I have now but it will give jobs back to many who are without because demand for products will go up and people will go back to work.
MH as usual has nothing constructive to say so just screeches from his tree.
Thanks, everyone, for your concern.
What difference does Randall Terry make if he moves his ugly ay-uss to Wichita? It makes a great big difference in my ability to keep my bile within my body. It makes a crucial difference in my joie de vivre. It makes a shape-shifting difference in my ability to avoid self-cannibalization.
S–t, Regular – I’m not obsessed with this spawn of satan. I just despise him. I despise looking at him. I can’t stand hearing him. That ain’t obsession. Fried ice cream at Carlos O’Kelly’s…..Sonic Youth’s latest CD……having people compliment me for not lookin’ my half-century age – those are things to get obsessed about.
But Randall Freakin’ Terry? I’d rather obsess about a barium enema I underwent in 1984.
“Tiny Tears” is just p–sed off because someone else assumed the mantle of leadership at OR. For the last 18 months, his written treatises on the subject betray narcissism and self-deification as its most naked and unsparing.
If the big broad’s only got a lil’ while to live, I sure don’t wanna encounter this trash receptacle on a busy afternoon. ‘Cause I won’t be able to remain sweet and silent, as Archbishop Sheen used to say.
No, I’ll remind him of his heartless blatherings one month ago – among many other things.
Well, let’s have it clearly. I’ll have his b—s on a rusty platter. Then I’ll feed ‘em to a ravenous rottweiler.
Hell, give me credit here, Regular! I’m just trying to be funny until the Grim Reaper arrives like Ali Baba on the 40th night. Gotta amuse meself somehow……

==================================================
My point was if he spend that much time here anyways what difference does it make where he’s laying his head. You could still have the same encounters with him.
I like your style and creativity in your humor but you gotta relax in your condition!
Film fan you mentioned that you had this attack in a Mexican restaurant. Nine years ago I had a blocked artery and my doc told me as they were cleaning it out they found chunks of the daily lard I was ingesting at El Patio. My then favorite restaurant.
Maybe some lifestyle changes are ahead for you. Exercise more. Fewer Mexican restaurants. Less saturated fats. Less stress. Hum that last one might be the best one for you.
Good luck whatever you decide. My thoughts on Randall Terry – I am prolife and think he is scum. He and I might live in the same city but will never cross paths. We don’t run in the same circles.
Hey, thanks everyone!
Excellent advice! Yes, the FilmFanny’s got to make some changes. Gotta exercise more (once I recover from this episode earlier this week. Right now I got no energy, as well as no patience for “Tiny Tears” terrors like Mr. Terry…..). I gotta eat less fattening food. Gotta relax more, as you guys have noted.
Hell, maybe I should take up meditation. My late sister was into that s–t in a big way. She claimed she could “levitate” – meaning she could literally rise off her chair while meditating.
Forgive me, but gag me on that s–t.
But the Filmie’s gotta do somethin’. And if Randy-Pandy’s gonna befoul our city, I’ve got to learn how to deal with revulsion.
I gotta keep the bile within – and not without.
I’ve gotta learn how to keep my intestines from revolting and singing “I’ve Got a Crush on You” in five-part harmony. ‘Cause I don’t think the alleged adulterator would like that s–t very much.
My gawd – if Mr. P-b-chead is the last vision I see before I croak – I’m just gonna DIE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Forgive me but I think you’ve referenced losing some weight in the past?
Maybe the throwing up wouldn’t be a bad thing. ;-)
(Totally kidding!!)
You know, there’s something else here I cain’t understand.
Mr. Terry “evidently”…..”allegedly”……had a surfeit of scandalous, scabrous liaisons before he married his second wifeypoo.
Forgive me – but what the hay-ull-ola? What in gawd’s name is wrong with women?
Dude ain’t cute. The man ain’t handsome. He’s not possessed of an erotic body. His whiny, nasally voice is worse than a sinus infection with yellow/green discharge.
He ain’t one of those amigos with a gift from the gods – one of those sensuous sundaes who make every other man in the room look like bad bookmakers’ apprentices.
Goodness! If I understood everything in this topsy-turvy world of ours, I’d probably live to be 110 instead of facing imminent immolation….

“…the daily lard I was ingesting at El Patio. “

Mr. Terry “evidently”…..”allegedly”……had a surfeit of scandalous, scabrous liaisons before he married his second wifeypoo.
Forgive me – but what the hay-ull-ola? What in gawd’s name is wrong with women?
==================================================
Power thing.
Look at half the politicians screwing around.
Women of Terry’s mindset swoon just like they do for any other person of supposed influence.
JimmyMax would be ashamed of himself for his link claiming that the President was checking out a teenaged girl’s azz, that is if he were capable of shame, which I doubt.
(BTW, she was from Brazil, after all . . . enough said).
The President was stepping down and helping another girl step down by letting her hold on to his arm.
He wasn’t looking at the posterior of the woman in question, although I personally wouldn’t blame him if he did.
Did you see the girl? Ay, carumba.
Big deal if he did look….He’s a man, it happens.

“White House refuses to release documents on Judge Sotomayor
WASHINGTON (AP) – A top Republican pressed for more information Thursday about Supreme Court nominee Sonia Sotomayor’s ties to a Puerto Rican civil rights group he said took extreme positions on race, as the White House argued that the material was irrelevant to the judge’s nomination.
White House Counsel Greg Craig told Sen. Jeff Sessions, R-Ala., in a letter that board meeting minutes and other papers detailing the Puerto Rican Legal Defense and Education Fund’s activities while Sotomayor was an outside adviser shouldn’t impact her nomination because she had no role in writing or approving them. But Sessions, the top Republican on the Senate committee that will consider her nomination, said the papers could shed light on Sotomayor’s judicial approach, particularly her view of racial preferences in hiring.

Hundreds of Pages Withheld on Sotomayor
When the Clinton presidential library Web site posted more than 5,000 pages of material related to Judge Sonia Sotomayor on Thursday, it also withheld hundreds of pages of documents stemming from her appeals court nomination and confirmation battle in 1997 and 1998.
The undisclosed documents appear to include memorandums about Judge Sotomayor between White House officials, early drafts of answers to questions posed by the Senate Judiciary Committee at the time, and files related to her FBI background check, finances, and health.
National Archives officials determined that the hundreds of pages of other documents were exempt from release under the Freedom of Information Act because the material relates to appointments to federal office and internal decision-making processes.
Under the Presidential Records Act, such material is shielded from disclosure for the first 12 years after a president has left office. However, former President Bill Clinton could issue such a waiver himself, or his representative and former aide, Bruce Lindsey, could waive that privilege and allow the archives to release the material.
Or the reigning king Obama……

WASHINGTON — The Bush administration authorized secret surveillance activities that still have not been made public, according to a new government report that questions the legal basis for the unprecedented anti-terrorism program.

Well, it’s nothing to worry about, CONs. Now that President OBAMA is authorized to do whatever Bush did, you have absolutely nothing to worry about.
Thank goodness he’s “keeping us safe” by illegally spying on us. After all, how has President OBAMA’s spying taken any of your freedoms away?

CON THINK:
Dammit, it’s so unfair when Obama acts like Bush.
It was fine when Bush did it, because I like Bush. I brushed aside Lib warnings that powers given to Bush would someday be used by a Lib president.
Now there’s a Lib president who’s doing what Bush did, and I AM OUTRAGED!
“Dammit, it’s so unfair when Obama acts like Bush.”
LIB THINK:
WE don’t give a crap if Obama is bad or dirty.
We are hypocrites and we point at Bush when Obama lies or is less than honest.
Now there’s a Lib president who’s doing what Bush did, and WE DON’T CARE!!!
(brought to you courtesy of CapnAmerica)
Just eight of 51 economists in The Wall Street Journal’s latest forecasting survey said more stimulus is necessary, suggesting an average of about $600 billion in additional spending. On average, the economists forecast an unemployment rate of at least 10% through next June, with a decline to 9.5% by December 2010.
“The mother of all jobless recoveries is coming down the pike,” said Allen Sinai of Decision Economics. But he doesn’t favor more stimulus now, saying “lags in monetary and fiscal policy actions” should be allowed to “work through the system.”
Prediction: Obama will declare another “emergency”. Libs will eat it up. Bbb-baaaa! Ba-baaaa!
“The mother of all jobless recoveries is coming down the pike,”
That’s purty good.
LIB THINK:
WE don’t give a crap if Obama is bad or dirty.
We are hypocrites
*****
Actually, no. You should have seen DemocraticUnderground light up in rage when Obama’s people supported illegal wiretapping in front of the federal judges.
It’s crap. It’s dishonest. Obama lied about it in his campaign.
BUT, that is exactly what we Libs said would happen when you CONs gave Bush the power to do it–very few people have the wisdom to give up power voluntarilly.
Washington did it, but nobody I know since then has . . .
You CONs don’t get it. In our system, power to the Executive means power to ANY executive . . . not just the one that’s in there for four years and you happen to support.
On average, the economists forecast an unemployment rate of at least 10% through next June, with a decline to 9.5% by December 2010.
Are these the same economists who didn’t see the housing bubble?
As Fleettwood is so fond of saying, “these guys are always spot on.”
When you hand out FREE MONEY, without reading the legislation and no strings attached – you are asking for corruption:
“As the first stimulus money flowed into Colorado, it was doled out to shovel-ready transportation projects — and some of Gov. Bill Ritter’s (Democrat) former law partners.
Ritter hired the politically connected firm of Hogan & Hartson three months ago to work on issues surrounding the state’s disbursement of federal stimulus funds. The firm has been paid $40,000 through June and is expected to file monthly bills.
The state attorney general’s office deemed the no-bid contract acceptable, according to the governor’s office, which said the state needed to move quickly to get legal opinions on stimulus money.
Ritter has also used the federal funds to hire five employees for a total of $349,000 to help Don Elliman oversee stimulus money. Elliman, with the new title of chief operating officer, makes $146,034 a year.
State workers are facing furlough days and are amid freezes in hiring and pay, but Myung Oak Kim, spokeswoman for the governor’s economic recovery group, said the hires don’t violate the spirit or the letter of that policy. Federal taxpayers — not state taxpayers — are signing their checks.”
Look forward to more of these Haliburtons.
” In our system, power to the Executive means power to ANY executive . . .”
Oh “we” get it. You libs don’t – even when we pound it into your heads.
What Bush did IS NO EXCUSE for Obama to do the same or worse.
But keep it up. We know these things contribute to reelection and election failures.

————————
Has Hank made any posts recently?
The revelation from seven Democrats on the House Intelligence Committee that they were misled about a critical CIA program has sparked a debate that touches on the most sensitive areas of national security policy. What program, exactly, was being kept secret?
No one is answering the question, citing the sensitivities that come when discussing classified intelligence matters.
. . . .
The New Yorker’s Seymour Hersh, building off earlier reporting from the New York Times, dropped news of the possibility that such a ring existed in a March 2009 discussion sponsored by the University of Minnesota.
“It is a special wing of our special operations community that is set up independently,” Hersh said. “They do not report to anybody, except in the Bush-Cheney days, they reported directly to the Cheney office. They did not report to the chairman of the joint chiefs of staff or to Mr. [Robert] Gates, the secretary of defense. They reported directly to him. …
“Congress has no oversight of it,” he added. “It’s an executive assassination ring essentially, and it’s been going on and on and on. Just today in the Times there was a story that its leaders, a three star admiral named [William H.] McRaven, ordered a stop to it because there were so many collateral deaths. Under President Bush’s authority, they’ve been going into countries, not talking to the ambassador or the CIA station chief, and finding people on a list and executing them and leaving. That’s been going on, in the name of all of us.”
Asked if this was the basis of her letter to Panetta, Eshoo said she could not discuss what was a “highly classified program.” She did, however, note that when Panetta told House Intelligence Committee members what it was that had been kept secret, “the whole committee was stunned, even Republicans.” A Republican committee member told Who Runs Gov’s Greg Sargent it was something they hadn’t heard before.
From Sam Stein at Huffington Post

BTW, the Democratic House doesn’t seem to like the “signing statement” crap either:
“The House rebuked President Obama for trying to ignore restrictions to international aid payments, voting overwhelmingly for an amendment forcing the administration to abide by its constraints.”
What the US Media spin Obama’s vacation to Europe as a success:
“L’AQUILA, Italy — President Barack Obama and his aides were on the defensive at the G-8 summit here Thursday after developing countries attending a 17-nation climate change forum refused to commit to specific goals to reduce their output of greenhouse gases.
Taken together with a G-8 statement Wednesday that sidestepped any serious pressure on Iran to give up its nuclear ambitions, Obama in Italy has faced the reality of global summitry – that it has been difficult for him to translate his personal popularity at home and abroad into concrete action on two of his top priorities.
In other words, Mr. Personality is popular in his own mind and his media
Between March – June 2009, the dollar’s value has fallen 11% against the euro. This is a result of the growing U.S. debt, which is reducing confidence in the dollar’s value.
Foreign Money Magazine
“she could not discuss what was a “highly classified program.””
The program the panel was NOT informed on was a program which was cancelled – before it got off the drawing board.
The Pelosio buddies are using this to spin a whole new inquiry into the CIA lying to Congress.
It doesn’t amount to anything.
In fact, Panetta, Director of the CIA and a lifelong leading democrat – told the inquirying six senators, “NO” to their informal letter. He refused to restate (lie, change for political purposes) his original May statement which was delivered under oath – that the CIA WAS NOT HIDING INFO FROM CONGRESS.
You might be asking why the six democrats did not use official Congressional Senate letter head and instead decided to use “an informal letter”?
The answer is probably: Politic’s.
They are trying to buy Pelosio points. Her ratings are crashing.
AmWay–
Here’s a post from the left-wing FireDogLake.org site (from yesterday):
In early June, a critical hearing was held in front of Judge Vaughn Walker in the al-Haramain warrantless wiretapping case. As a result of that hearing, Judge Walker entered an order commanding the attorney for plaintiffs al-Haramain et. al to file a motion for summary judgement. Hot off the press, the motion was filed minutes ago, and it is a stunning demonstration of just how disingenuous and two faced President Obama and his administration have been on the seminal issues of warrantless wiretapping, protection of Constitutional rights, transparency and accountability.

That’s what we liberals think about Obama supporting the powers that you CONs gave Bush.

“This is a result of the growing U.S. debt, which is reducing confidence in the dollar’s value.”

“Nathaniel” admits –
“I must have missed that one.”
Y’think?
Obviously you missed or have forgotten last year’s Democratic presidential primaries.
There was plenty of debate that Barack Obama wasn’t liberal enough for the mess Shrub left us in.
Still is.
For you CONs to automatically assume a dip in President Obama’s approval ratings automatically translates into us rushing up for the right-wing-nut altar call is patently absurd.
A lot of “libruhls” are disappointed by Obama’s moderate approach to issues such as universal health coverage, LBGT rights, the Iraq withdrawal, the Afghan resurgence…
I’m not surprised in the least, “Nathaniel,” that you “…missed that one.”
You seem to embody typical WE Blog CON ignorance and arrogance; you know nothing except what you think you know and all you know is from fellow wing-nuts.
And you have rational people at a severe disadvantage since, when you plead ignorance, none of us can deny it.
If you ignore facts, you’re ignorant.
Case closed.
But here’s the silly thing:
CONs don’t have anything they’re for; only what they’re against.
And they’re recycling old 90s rhetoric originally aimed at Bill Clinton.
I mean, the man got his dick sucked by an intern and the Repubic Party laid it on thick and President Clinton was reelected in a landslide.
Keep trying that approach, CONs. It’s worked so well for you.
You’ve got the fringes of the fringe trying to portray this moderate “libruhl” president as the second-coming of Mao, Pol Pot, Hitler, & Che and reality (remember that, “Nathaniel?” “reality” It’s a concept) keeps getting in the way.
Hell, if this administration were half the threat you right-wing-nuts claim he is, we’d be melting down all your guns, shipping your ass to Gitmo, and making gay marriage mandatory by now.
I mean… we’ve had six whole months already.
You “…must have missed that one.”
I must have missed where it was the right complaining.
Yeah, you did, Nathan.
Check upthread. AmWay calls him a liar because his government is not more open.
There’s some truth to that.
Unfortunately, there’s also a lot of truth the fact that the powers and perks you gave Bush, you don’t like Obama using.
Too bad, that’s what you get. I didn’t like Bush using them, and I don’t like Obama using them.
But just like you CONs used to say, “how have your freedoms been taken away?”
MH–
I have to respectfully disagree that Clinton got a BJ and won in a landslide.
He lied about it and won in a landslide.
Then he got impeached for it.
It’s always been my belief that if Mr. Narcisstic Personality Disorder had resigned, the American people would have been outraged and re-elected Gore.
Hence, we wouldn’t have had eight disasterous years of Worst. President. Ever. In fact, we may not even have had 9-11 since Gore wasn’t best friends with the bin Laden family like Worst. President. Ever. and turning a blind eye to everything Saudi.
Anyway, Clinton saved his presidency and lost the country . . .

Typical. Easy…no thought required.

.6 x 4 = 2.4
let’s look at “capn’s” logic. his hero, bho, is doing things that “capn” bemoaned, complained, and went on and on about endlessly when the previous president did them. now that bho is doing the EXACT SAME THING, “capn” says it is ok because bush did it.
huh? does that make ANY sense to anyone with the slightest amount of thinking ability? I mean…if it was wrong when bush did it, it is equally wrong when bho does it. Remember the old saying, ‘two wrongs don’t make a right’??? Obviously, ‘capn’ doesn’t….
Oh Biased 1…..
psssst…. IF a US Dollar is worth .5 GBP earlier this year, and is worth .6 GBP NOW, that indeed is an increase in the Dollar value… against the GBP…
Above I said it would take more than 2 USD to buy 2 GBP… I should have said less than 2 USD to buy two GBP.. now… It would have taken $2 to buy two GBP when the USD = .5 GBP

CapN said it is a BAD THING that Obama did what Bush did…. However, the CONS were warned that if y’all let Bush get away with it, it would come back to bite ya in the bu++ in future administrations…
And so it has… And that doesnt make it any more RIGHT for Obama to do it, than it did for BUSH to do it….
Try READING more carefully, before you post your frikkin LIES!!!
Raptor claims that, now that bho is doing the EXACT SAME THING, “capn” says it is ok because bush did it.
huh? does that make ANY sense to anyone with the slightest amount of thinking ability?
Yeah, it doesn’t, Rap.
That’s why did NOT say that. I said I didn’t like it when Bush did it and I don’t like it now that Obama’s doing it.
Read upthread.
But I’m glad to hear that Nathan approves of Obama’s illegal wiretaps.
Should help him . . . you know . . . round up all the guns and stuff . . .
CapnAmerica,
What illegal wiretaps?
I am still waiting for you to show me all this complaining from the right you keep talking about.
Capn I said then and I say today if the prez want to listen to my phone calls he would be bored to death and if he wants to read my emails he is welcome to them.
The safety of the nation is more important to me than someone overhearing a phone conversation. BTW I believe they listen in to overseas phone calls and calls made to admitted terrorists. Your privacy is probably very safe.
Not sure what your post is about.

Kansas gets $2 million to cleanup petroleum leaks

The Associated Press
KANSAS CITY, Kan. – Kansas will get more than $2 million from federal stimulus money to assess and clean up underground storage tank petroleum leaks.
The Environmental Protection Agency says leaking underground tanks can release petroleum or other hazards into the soil and can contaminate groundwater, the source of drinking water for nearly one-third of all Americans.
The grant for $2.1 million was announced Thursday and is part of $197 million in stimulus funds going to states to deal with leaking underground petroleum tanks
A must-watch for “enlightened progressives”.

I watched it Heckler and it is of length, so you know Chas didn’t watch it.
It is what most have been saying all along about the deeply seated agenda of the Leftist Liberal Secular bunch. That is, they are institutionally covert racist whose goals are almost identical to Hitler’s Final Solution.
Ever notice the fanatical following of abortion clinics and providers? It’s quite unnerving that people would attach themselves so much to death.
There are other similarities to O’BAMA’s reign and that of Hitler, but I won’t go into those now as the singularly minded Libs might get confused and hostile.

“As a nurse on New York’s crowded Lower East Side, Margaret Sanger saw firsthand how constant childbearing contributed to the cycle of poverty, and in 1912 she gave up nursing to devote herself to the promotion of birth control. Faced with laws forbidding dissemination of contraceptive information, Sanger’s crusade had much opposition. But by 1921, when Sanger founded the Birth Control League, her movement had begun to win adherents in respectable quarters. Many years of battling were left before birth control would become part of mainstream social thinking, but with Sanger leading the way, that outcome increasingly seemed to be all but inevitable.
This photograph was taken shortly after Sanger’s thirty-day imprisonment in 1917 for opening her first birth control clinic. Shortly before her release, the police ordered her to submit to fingerprinting. When she refused, a prolonged physical struggle ensued, from which she emerged the winner.”

And I agreed with CapnAmerica on this that Bush jeopardized basic principles when he pursued this.
That said, I didn’t hear democrats screaming bloody murder about it and they did hold the Congress for two years under Bush. They did nothing about it then and they will do nothing about it now. As would repubicans if they had control.
Obama polling less than 50% approval rating in many swing states.
Me thinks the honeymoon is over.
” I do not want Universal health care.”
It is interesting that in pursuit of providing healthcare insurance to less than 15% of Americans, our governments plan is to tax and discourage those with health insurance from keeping it.
I suggest we all email, write, and call our congressional delegates: All Congress should fall under whatever plan they approve for the common folk.
End their special treatment and perks.
Gosh I hope and pray Obama takes another vacation out of country soon at taxpayer expense.
Maybe extend this one another month or so…
PLEASE!!!!
“. I do not want Universal health care.”
Too bad. I do.
People should not have to be slaves to their employer for their health care.

On this blog posting something honest that questions the party you’re affiliated with is like throwing red meat to sharks. It doesn’t seem possible on this forum to be what most humans are — unsure at times, desiring information and input, feeling angst at what is happening in our world (no matter who is in power), wondering how someone else who holds a differing political philosophy sees a topic, admitting you’d like more information before forming an opinion… We all must have those questions, but all of us are attacked for what we believe, for what we don’t believe and we don’t get answers when questions are posed, we get ridiculed. Maybe if answers were possible more would take the heat. It isn’t just what you think or who you support that is ridiculed — it’s you the person too. People who don’t know who you are, will tell you in very specific terms exactly what they think of your personal thoughts. Posters here are hated by people who don’t even know them.
We can’t even post to a subject that is apolitical without the association and political relevance of something we’ve posted in the past on a totally different subject being used in an attempt to discredit our thoughts and opinions.
Women (all women) are treated even more harshly than men. And new posters? They are either made to feel really unwelcome or accused of being someone else who has taken on a new nic (or is using multiple nics).
Think about it. How often does this forum allow rational, adult discussions? It’s very refreshing when it happens!
Personal thoughts on WEBlog? Is that even possible?
Let me clue you in lindainks, it comes a lot from your side. In fact, it comes mostly from your side.
When I first started on this blog, I wrote to other posters with respect and we talked.
Then entered CapnAmerica and BlueJay, make personal references, attacking everything I wrote. They did it to other posters. Back then it was Gallahad, among his other nics (CapnAmerica.)
So, step down from your high horse. The ones who tore down this blog are the ones who cry the loudest.
FF, sometimes it takes up to 4 different types of blood pressure meds to get it all under control. The one thing you have to remember, insurance or not, having a stroke is going to make your existence miserable, especially if you lose the ability to talk.
FIND a way to get it. And they don’t have to be four different expensive meds. The old tried and trues are just fine in combination.
As for Randall Terry, join with us and fight against him. The rest of us want to hurl just as much.
I think playing the victim must be a personality issue Regular, because don’t even sit here and act like you are innocent at all.

Some samples of multi-nic’d Regular’s “respect”(sic) to others.
———–
“cosmos gasbagging his way to more one liners of attack. It’s not a wonder that cosmos large intestines are the size of fire hose and just as deadly with the expulsion of stinky fumes.”
“I have no idea why cosmos has such a ‘hard on’ for the Sierra Club. Maybe he’s a local president of them, I don’t know. But he’s definetely in butt lust with them.”
“Yet more of cosmos denials and lies and his incessant lustful butt thrusting about the Sierra Club.”
“Once again, cosmos changes his story to suit the occasion. An incessant liar and toe licker for the Sierra Club.”
“I wonder if cosmos attentions to the Sierra Club involve courtship or is it just a straight illicit affair?”
Awwww.
You gonna cry James?
Maybe multi-nic’d Regular will leave the WE blog forever? Like he left forever earlier. . . several times.
More examples of the vindictive Libs, lindainks, I rest my case by the examples they provided.
Regular,
So did you find those (non-existent) Congressional and Justice Dept. links that you falsely claimed proved your false claim that the Sierra Club “screwed” the New Orleans levees?
You know cosmos, most people are presented with something, analyze it, like it or dislike it, then move on.
You have a problem with maturity and grudge holding.
Must be sad to have an obsession with things like you have cosmos, that don’t really matter in the grander scheme of life.
Many of your points are valid for all of us Linda.
I do realize and agree that those on both sides are equally responsible for the communications on this blog.
You went further with your post than I really intended in mine. I was looking for liberals or democrats who had the gonads to openly post here when they do disagree with their own team. That was sort of the running conversation I was having w/Capn.
I myself would appreciate that honesty and respect it. Particularly when the others on that same side would be so quick to eat their own. I can see how there is also fear that “cons” will exploit any concession. But without that attempted dialog, the libs appear as sheep and too afraid to speak their minds.
Someone might prove me wrong. Hoping they do.
AmWay — Try reading upthread… See what CapN said about Obama and the continued “signings” and “wiretapping” — Not exactly a glowing commendation of Obama there… Check out my posts re: Rep. Jefferson and his alleged bribe money… That’s on a different thread than this one… It does happen, AmWay….
And the insane attacks on one regular poster continue. Regular takes regular heat. Oh yes, he can dish it out (anyone easily can – takes no real effort. That’s why I can do it!).
When circled and attacked from all sides with no restraint – what the he11 would any of you do if you were him?
I’m no angel and neither is Regular. But you guys sure can hold some grudges. But at a certain point, continuing the banter results in negative returns for all of us who are trying to post opinions.
I can already see the next few hours will be filled with “Regular did it first” crap. So no point in sticking around on my part.
Chas you are joining a conversation which is already past tense. I was discussing that with Capn hours ago.
BTW, I’m as guilty as the rest. And yes Bush sucked
in many ways. Now let’s move on.
Obama sucks!!!!
In that case, g’night!!!
Regular,
It’s not my “obsession” — I was simply pointing out that you still don’t have any proof to support your false claim about the Sierra Club. Instead, all that Regular has is posts like these:
http://blogs.kansas.com/weblog/2009/07/open-thread-710-3/comment-page-6/#comment-617816
Wasn’t it AmWay who wanted a private chat with Lindainks? Hmmm???
Regular is a constant victim on this blog. Why else would he spend so much time here?
The CONs of WE Blog are generally a pathetic lot. They’ve been wrong so long it looks like right to them. Far-right.
cosmos, to bring the same subject up over and over, hundreds of time is an obsession.
An unhealthy obsession I might add.
You have a sick mind and should seek help.
Steven Davis drive by’s are typical of his attacks. Nothing ever constructive, just personal attacks on other posters.
Why does he bother to post?
Must be a character flaw…
Right, “Regular” –
Half the CON posts in this forum are CONs whining about how they widdle feewings get hurt by dem mean ol’ wiberals.
Feelings hurt? Not hardly MonkeyHock.
I was addressing the problems that lindainks brought up and pointing out how you Libs perpetuate them, just like you did in your 11:40 and 11:58 post.
You have nothing to contribute. You just stir up trouble as usual.
Well,
the cons won’t hold your leash James.
You’re a tool for them you know. None of them would EVER meet you. But they will encourage your social dysfunction here.
“MonkeyHock”
Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha!
“Regular” made a funny.
(In his Depends.)
“BlueJay” –
Just read CONs’ posts to WE Blog in a cranky old man’s voice.
Much more entertaining.
As I have written, nothing to contribute.
Note the posts at 12:24 and 12:30 – cons this and cons that.
The post at 12:25 a.m. was nothing but a personal attack.
The Libs have absolutely nothing to contribute.
Point(s) proven…
Uhm, “Regular” –
A “personal” attack against which person?

————————
Regular,
Would you like to try to prove your “hundreds of time” claim?
I was simply adding a reality check to Regular’s 9:48 pm post to lindainks.
Regular has claimed that he represents “Kansas values”, and his Kansas family heritage. He has done that by making posts like these:
——-
“cosmos gasbagging his way to more one liners of attack. It’s not a wonder that cosmos large intestines are the size of fire hose and just as deadly with the expulsion of stinky fumes.”
“I have no idea why cosmos has such a ‘hard on’ for the Sierra Club. Maybe he’s a local president of them, I don’t know. But he’s definetely in butt lust with them.”
“Yet more of cosmos denials and lies and his incessant lustful butt thrusting about the Sierra Club.”
. . .

Do you believe in personal responsibility, Regular?
Are you responsible for your posts on the WE blog?
Careful, “cosmos_originally” –
You’re gonna hurt his feelings.
I ran across an ad on craigslist
about how to earn a great income working at home. It has to do with a voice broadcasting software that is taking the country
by storm
Hope everyone had a Happy 4th [url="http://www.ibuzzjoin.com"]:D[/url]
Libs proved my 11:10 PM post true.
So predictable. And I didn’t miss anything.
I think I’m learning a lesson other more seasoned posters already have – and have left the weblog when content is predictable.
I have 4 webistes PR0 ,PR3, PR3, PR3 and looking for ABC Adult Link Exchange
