"There are some strange people in the Republican

Excerpt: Sarah Palin called Obama's health plan "downright
evil" Friday in her first online comments since quitting,
saying in a Facebook posting that he would create
a "death panel" that would deny care to the neediest Americans.
"The America I know and love is not one in which
my parents or my baby with Down Syndrome will have to
stand in front of Obama's 'death panel' so his
bureaucrats can decide, based on a subjective judgment of their
'level of productivity in society,' whether they
are worthy of health care," the former swimsuit model wrote.
"Such a system is downright evil," Palin wrote
on her page.
She encouraged her supporters to be engaged in
the debate.
Translation: Stop Obama's 'evil death panel' - whatever it takes - before he comes
for poor Trig.
It's amazing how so many people have no problem
with Israel being the only nation with nukes
in the Middle East and do not see how that is
destabilizing. Israel should be forced to give up those nukes.
Not one dollar in US aid to Israel until this
is done, along with its giving up its illegal territory in the settlements.
Then we would have a much better chance for peace
in the Middle East.
Says Bush bastard John Bolton:
"With each passing day, Iran's nuclear and
ballistic laboratories, production facilities, and military bases are all churning. Israel is focused
on these facts, not the illusion of `tough' diplomacy.''
Solution? invade israel.... take away
their nukes ... peace in our time,
Cort
Dude, I'm so hesitant to get into this because the insanity never ends
but one does not "take" nukes away from a nation that has them.
You want to invade a "never again" nation that has nukes?
Can you wait until I'm dead to try this?
And when you are surrounded on all sides by people who'd volunteer to
die
than let the Jews take another collective breath, when is disarming
a good idea?
The logical thing (I'm making a joke - logic in the Middle East?) would
be to unsurround yourself
from your enemies but that sacred sand must be honored
no matter how many school busses blow up.
There's room for them in Oklahoma, or Arizona or New Mexico, but
they'd rather die.
This is what religion does to people.
It makes them crazy enough to sacrifice their kids' lives for sand.
Excerpt: Rahm Emanuel, recently held a meeting to slam
Democratic activists for pressuring the legislators
who are holding up healthcare reform, calling
their ads "fucking stupid".
I hate to burst Rahm Emanuel's Beltway-approved
bubble, but from my lowly position at the bottom
of the Democratic hierarchy, I see a whole lot
of "fucking stupid", but it ain't coming from the progressive groups.
I am a loyal Democrat because I live my
values rather than pay lip service to them. I am a married, working class
mother of three. I believe in equal rights and
equal opportunity for everyone (that means everyone). I believe in the
Constitution (even the parts I don't agree with).
And I believe in Democracy (even standing up for the rights of
other people to say things I don't believe in).
So if Rahm Emanuel thinks it's a good idea to
alienate me and the millions of others like me in order to try to
win favor with the self-preserving, self-absorbed
healthcare industry insiders and their paid-for legislators,
I think he'd better take a good look in the mirror
before calling anyone else fucking stupid.
I assume Rahm (and Obama) have a plan.
Why would he ask his own people to stop fighting with the people who
are fighting him?
Excerpt: The trend of controversial town halls contiuned
on Friday when Rep. John Sullivan (R-Okla.) questioned
Obama's birth certificate and referred to a White
House "enemies list" at a meeting in Tulsa.
"This is a scary time in Washington," he said.
"It's a very frightening time. Obama is creating an enemies list of people who oppose this miserable health
care plan. I think that's frightening. That's from a guy that can't even show a long-form birth certificate.
I think we all ought to be prepared to fight that."
One audience member at the Tulsa Republican Club
didn't think that was enough, berating Sullivan
for not doing enough to uncover Obama's citizenship,
the
Tulsa World reported.
In Oklahoma, being a religiously-insane birther handjob isn't enough
for the crazies.
How do you think Jim Inhofe and Tom Coburn got to Washington?
They got there by being crazier birther handjobs than their opponents.
Today, no sane man has a chance of winning an election in Oklahoma,
the only state where Obama didn't carry a single precinct.
Indiana, Texas, Alabama - move over because there's a new Crazy King
and it's Oklahoma.
He's a pigboy-in-training and he's got lots of
personal problems, too,
like getting arrested for stealing chips from
a Tulsa casino, all the while
saying God forgives him and Bill Clinton is a
rapist - that sort of crap.
From Wikipedia: An outspoken critic of gambling and Indian
casinos, DelGiorno was banned from two separate Indian casinos based upon allegations
of inappopriate conduct. DelGiorno admitted
on the air that he had been gambling, but never
admitted to the allegations of misconduct
He didn't need to admit anything because the
casino cameras caught him stealing chips. I guess his gambling problems were greater than
his anti-science, hate-radio paycheck.
I once did a loooooong radio thing with his bullshit
"apology" about how he
"found himself" at this casino with chips that
"somehow" got in his pocket.
Anybody remember which radio show that was
in? If I could afford it I'd hire someone to listen
to the shows
and summarize the topics for times like this.

the same rate the Europeans did?
Why hasn't the Southern Bible Belt evolved at

Are they still not recovered from the Civil War???

I would blame geography and the warm sun.
They grow cotton in the South and back then, regardless of the moral
problem,
they needed workers they didn't have to pay to pick the cotton and
work the tobacco fields.
Once you get past "It's wrong to own people"
it's a system that worked great for the owners.
But gradually America accepted the idea that slavery was wrong to the
South's chagrin.
They're fine with slavery because it was working so well for them.
Kinda like today's health care mess.
For the wealthy who are making millions of dollars with this crooked
system,
Once you get past "It's wrong to let the poor
die" it's a system that works great for the super-rich.
Gradually, America is accepting the idea that letting the poor die is
wrong, to the GOP's chagrin.
They're fine with letting the poor die because the current system is
working so well for them.
Bottom line - people lie to themselves because they are stupid and scared.
The South hates Obama because they still think they were right about
slavery.
The GOP hates health care reform because they think God is just thinning
the herd for the super-rich.
The GOP was hurt and angry when they were sprayed with the Nixon skunk
and the decided to lionize and deify whoever their next (elected) president
was.
A washed up "B" actor from Hollywood.
The Democrats do things just the opposite.
They demonize their most successful president in sixty years.
"Wingnut radio broadcaster Mark Levin calls
Obama's health care plan "Chrome plated Cadillac" healthcare.
Is that a dog-whistle to racists or what?" -- Mr Cobb,
Link
That's the dangerous game the racists play: "Do you want real health care or
nigger health care?"
"Taking a page right out of a Nazi playbook,
organizers bus in professional protestors and arm them with instructions on how
to take over meetings, shut down discussion, shout over any pro-health care reform
speakers, and then post video of the resulting chaos on YouTube. It's mob rule, pure
and simple."
-- Bill Press, Link
They've been quite successful with mob
rule.
I wish Obama would stop being so naive
about politics.

Excerpt: Martin County Sheriff’s detectives didn’t buy
a man's claim that his cat was downloading child porn.
Keith Griffin was charged after detectives found
more than 1,000 child porn images on his computer.
Griffin told detectives he would leave his computer
on and his cat would jump on the keyboard.
And when he returned there will be strange material
downloaded, the release states.
I can almost sympathize with the man.
I can no longer hear CNN in my office because Dax reconfigured my radio
mixer.
I have more troubles, too.
My mouse quit working a couple of weeks ago so I bought a new mouse.
It doesn't work, either.
I have to click on something 5 times to get it to open and I'm a busy
man with shit to do so
clicking 5,000 times a day instead of 1,000 is going to put my right
index finger in the hospital.
Is there any solution short of buying a new computer?
I've been to Control Panel > Mouse Settings and tried every combination.
What's my next move?
Buy a third mouse and watch it not work, too?
Bart, it was jarring to read your question regarding
the "evolution" of native americans, or really I guess the
manner in which it was expressed. I think you
are confusing evolution with technology. We are the same species.
Different ethnicities are more similar in average
genetic makeup than individuals within that ethnicity.
Now and then I used the wrong word but hopefully
you know what I meant.
It just seemed odd for them to be 1,000 years
behind their European brothers.
Mohawks have the same ears as anyone else, they
just got the work that they could get.
LisaB
The ability of Mohawks to work at high altitudes is legendary - I found
this:
Excerpt: The Mohawks got into the business by happenstance.
In 1886 a Canadian company was building a bridge
over the St. Lawrence river. The company hired
a number of Mohawks as day laborers, but found they loved
to climb around on the ironwork without any apparent
fear of heights. Since it was difficult to find men with the
moxie for high work, the company decided to try
an Indian crew. "We picked out some and trained them and it was like putting ham with eggs,"
a company official wrote. Mohawks helped build bridges from then on.
A very important factor is undoubtedly their habit,
in walking, of putting one foot in front of the other, instead of
straddling, as we seem to them to do. They do
not need to make an effort in walking a narrow beam.
Excerpt:
An autopsy found that cocaine contributed to
the heart disease that suddenly killed TV pitchman Billy Mays,
but his family called the finding "speculative"
and was considering getting an independent look at the results.
The Hillsborough County medical examiner's office
previously determined that the TV spokesman
had a heart attack in his sleep. His wife found
him unresponsive in bed in their Tampa condo June 28.
While heart disease was the primary cause of
his death, cocaine was a "contributory cause of death."
The toxicology tests also showed therapeutic amounts
of hydrocodone, oxycodone and tramadol,
as well as anti-anxiety drugs alprazolam and
diazepam.

Subject: Why does Huffpo hate
the Clintons so much?
Laura Ling and Euna Lee were rescued by Bill Clinton
in a feat of diplomatic aplomb
that left anyone with a heart teary eyed and
choked up, and a nation very grateful.
However, instead of blasting a headline of jubilation,
Huffington decided to take the road
down Clinton Derangement Highway, choosing "BILL
UPSTAGES HILLARY.... ONCE AGAIN."
Running that headline on a day two journalists
lives were saved from doing twelve years
hard labor in a North Korean prison camp made
Huffington Post look silly. Petty. Small.
Taylor Marsh Link
The crazy whores at Huffpo aren't happy about Obama winning because
the Clintons are still alive.
Swear to Koresh, they want them both fucking dead and that's disgusting.

Subject: Now it's an issue?
When Bush was president the Republicans and the
Blue Dog Democrats never mentioned deficit spending.
Tax cuts for the rich, no problem. Fund
the Iraq war, of course.
Prescription drug plan for the elderly, no
problem.
$200 billion subsidy for insurance companies,
why not?
But now it's time to fix the problems and pay
the bills and all of a sudden they are worried about spending?.
Give me a break!
Their outrage is well funded by the health insurance
industry who is paying a million bucks a day to fund the outrage.
But we're not going to give in.
Yes we can reform health care and put the People
first and not the big insurance companies.
