I'MMA LET YOU FINISH
First and Fuck Bush.
Please pass this onto other people.
How can the people force a mean spirited conservative congress to pass a progressive agenda? Simple. I have picked some well known companies that appear related to issues that progressives find important. Boycott these companies and make them lobby congress and get what we want or they go bust. While I agree we need to elect a Democratic congress and a Democratic president, with a consumer boycott we the people can exert influence every single day and not just at election time and not just with letters or petitions but with petitions with the bite of a boycott.

Boycott Wendy's Restaurants and Outback Steakhouses.
Why you say? Wendy's Restaurants operate out of Dublin, OHIO and Outback Steakhouses operate out of FLORIDA. Now you see. I have picked two well known companies that operate out of the states that have brought us stolen elections by the immoral Republican Party. These companies operate restaurant chains that have restaurants around the United States.
Now why boycott them after the effort to overturn Bush's second stolen election has failed? Boycott them, call them, email them and tell them that we will not go to their restaurants until Ohio and Florida elects democrats to Governorships, Secretaries of state and majorities in their legislatures in Ohio and Florida. In other words we will punish them for allowing the stolen elections to happen in 2000 and 2004. Will it work? Well do it and see.

"8+ cut," my ass.
Thanks to Billmon for this one, posted in the wee (oh, so wee...) hours.
One of the most frustrating parts of the past 4 years has been how the Bush Administration continues to prey upon people's better nature.
Like a true con man -- and Bush's label as as a "conservative" is appropos only because he cons people, since Lord knows he doesn't "conserve" anything -- he uses people's fears and desire to believe the best in people to screw them over time and again.
It is somewhat similar to Hitchcock's "Lifeboat" -- the other passengers kept giving the German the benefit of the doubt, only to discover that he was up to no good.
Of course, they eventually bludgeoned the German to death with a boot. Perhaps that shoe that was thrown at Richard Perle this week was a warning shot.

Naked Gannon Cheerleader Pyramids!
Bill Maher last night was offensive and disturbing to me...it was the worst show I'd seen him do...
I thought the panel looked bad before the show and it was...haven't seen all the show yet but here's my take on what I did see..
The Gannon stuff was good, but then Maher started talking about gender stereotyping at Harvard, [u]approvingly[/u], the use of prisoners' religious beliefs to torture and sexually degrade them, [u]approvingly[/u], the enjoyment of killing voiced by a Marine General, [u]approvingly[/u], narrowminded American-centrist jingoism in which he implied anyone with a culture like theirs was fucked up, [u]approvingly[/u] and worst of all GEORGE W BUSH and how we owe him for the great elections in Iraq, [u]approvingly[/u]....The ends don't justify the means Bill...Have you forgotten the lies to the American people used to sell that abomination...
Even the opening segment on Cristo's solution to the elderly problem was weak. I tried to think back if I'd ever seen Maher like last night and couldn't remember it. It's obvious he's "adjusting" his show to the new, improved, Bush thousand year reich....
It reminded me of what happened to Dennis Miller, once one of my favorite comedians. Could it be happening to Maher? I shudder to think if it is...
Okay, Billmon, we'll forgive your little temper tantrum last summer. No need to keep hiding behind cut&pasted paragraphs. Start writing again, all right?
Is it morning already?
Behold, The Creation of Gannon !
That is too funny.

For Miss Malkin, and her ilk:
1942-Style Bigotry Targets Muslims in the U.S. Today
By Lillian Nakano
Lillian Nakano is a third-generation Japanese American from Hawaii and was active in the redress campaign as a member of Nikkei for Civil Rights and Redress. She lives in Torrance.
February 19, 2005
Feb. 19, 1942, was a day that changed the lives of Japanese Americans forever. I was a teenager growing up in Hawaii when President Franklin D. Roosevelt signed Executive Order 9066, which set into motion the removal and incarceration of more than 110,000 people of Japanese ancestry in inland concentration camps.
After Japan attacked Pearl Harbor, a tense atmosphere of suspicion and hysteria engulfed the West Coast and Hawaii. Decades of anti-Japanese and anti-Asian legislation and racism had already laid the foundation for the events that soon took place. We were rounded up without due process even though we had nothing to do with the attack. Our family was shipped to California, then to Arkansas and finally to Wyoming, where we spent the duration of the war.
Upon our release from the camps, Japanese Americans began to pick up the pieces of wrecked lives, in the face of continuing racism and hostility. For years, we suppressed our anger, bitterness and shame about the unfair treatment we got.
Today, many in the Japanese American community will attend the annual Day of Remembrance events in Los Angeles, San Francisco and other cities, with the goal of teaching new generations the lessons from that painful time. Some of my fellow Americans are now being targeted because they are Muslim, Arab or Middle Eastern. When the attacks of Sept. 11 happened, I mourned for the innocent lives that were lost. But I also began to identify and sympathize with the innocent Muslim Americans who immediately became victims of the same kind of stereotyping and scapegoating we faced 63 years ago. They too have become targets of suspicion, hate crimes, vandalism and violence, all in the name of patriotism and national security.
Feb. 19 is a day I do not wish upon anyone else. Now, the lessons are not just about events in a distant past, but events as they are occurring on a daily basis.
Let's not forget the infamous words of Gen. John DeWitt — who was in charge of West Coast defenses — in 1943, "A Jap is a Jap." Or Secretary of War Henry Stimson, who said, "Their racial characteristics are such that we cannot understand or even trust the citizen Japanese." How painfully familiar it seemed to see Muslim and Arab Americans suspected and ostracized as potential terrorists solely on the basis of ethnicity and religion.
In the 1970s and '80s, inspired by the civil rights struggle, the Japanese American community fought a 10-year-long campaign and won redress and an apology from the U.S. government in 1988. This was to be the official government a
...
In the 1970s and '80s, inspired by the civil rights struggle, the Japanese American community fought a 10-year-long campaign and won redress and an apology from the U.S. government in 1988. This was to be the official government acknowledgment that the internment was morally and legally wrong, and we were given hope that such an event would not be repeated.
Yet today there are renewed attacks on civil liberties in the name of the "war on terrorism." Legislation such as the Patriot Act and the government's willingness to arrest and charge innocent people contribute to an atmosphere that could lead to future internment camps.
Some ideologues on the right seek to rewrite history in order to justify government policy and racial profiling. One example is Michelle Malkin's 2004 book, "In Defense of Internment: The Case for 'Racial Profiling' in World War II and the War on Terror," which not only rehashes the untruths that Japanese Americans have heard for years but also asserts: "The most damaging legacy of this apologia and compensation package [redress won by Japanese Americans] has been its impact on national security efforts. The ethnic grievance industry and civil liberties Chicken Littles wield the reparations law like a bludgeon over the War on Terror debate."
There is no justification for racism or denial of civil liberties — not in 1942 and not in 2005.
Wonderful! Good Morning Fellow Eschatonians.
Based on last nights thread titled, I Get Letters.
I did some research to try and better understand the scope of the SS Crisis.
There's an interesting article on MSN Money Central.
http://moneycentral.msn.com/cont...plan/
P90016.asp
The gist is there are three ways to eliminate solvency by (really) about 2050-something:
1. Cut benefits.
2. Raise Taxes.
3. Privatize Some or All of the Program.
As a Republican, Cutting Benefits is absolutely off the table - meaning unacceptable.
Privatizing is wholly acceptable and embraceable because that allows me to fulfill SS's initial intent: take care of myself at retirement.
Then there's the issue of raising taxes. Very few Republicans rule out raising taxes. This is an acceptable option to us, but there are a few caveats:
1. I am not paying a higher percentage of my income into SS for a lower percentage of return than I put into the program.
2. If I;m going to be asked to increase my contribution, even at an equal rate of return, I want a say on how it's invested.
3. In order to avoid this same problem in 4 or 5 generations, I want Congress to identify a specific ceiling percentage of this money that they can borrow. Futher, the Government must not be able to use the money above this percentage in order to guranatee loans or other revenue generating scheme's that ultimately puts solvency at risk. (I think this is the lockbox option).
4. Congress must fix Medicare first. According to the article above (and it makes sense) Medicare is in much worse shape than SS.
V/R Arthur (Thoughts?) Miller
man, NTodd! You sleep less than I do!
GWPDA,
Prove this statement.
"Yet today there are renewed attacks on civil liberties in the name of the "war on terrorism." Legislation such as the Patriot Act and the government's willingness to arrest and charge innocent people contribute to an atmosphere that could lead to future internment camps."
I want facts, not simply more mental masturbation from the misguided left. That means your "feelings" don't ount. You gotta prove your statement.
V/R Arthur (Feelings, nothing more than Feelings!) Miller
Oleary, agree 100% with your opinion of Maher last night. I always thought he was pretty much an asshole, and I only liked his show because he had people like Aaron McGruder on the panel.
great post, GWPDA!
And thanks for the offer yesterday, but I have all those ducks in a row. It's the politics that stump me.
GWPDA, in case you didn't know, Mr. Miller is a troll. Apparently he never of heard of Lynne Stewart, rendering, or Guantanamo.
Hey GWPDA,
By the way, everyone who is arrested is innocent. They are all innocent until proven guilty.
If you'd bother to read the constitution or the Patriot Act, you'll see that clause is in the forst and not edited in the later.
V/R Arthur (I'm Innocent) Miller
Hold it There Karin,
I am intimately familiar with the topic of Gtmo, and have no desire to be that familiar with Lynne (Voice of the Democratic Party) Stewart.
You still have to prove your point. Stewart is on tape implicating herself. She's delighted to have passed information from her scumbag client to other scumbag clients around the wold.
Her indictment proves this.
The Constitution only applies to US Citizens who have done nothing to abandon their citizenship. So, who in GTMO meets that bill?
Now please, prove your point.
V/R Arthur (Noone cares what you feel...they only care about what you can prove) Miller
What exactly did Bill Maher say about gender stereotyping at Harvard? Because I know there's been a lot of distortion about that.
The Constitution only applies to US Citizens who have done nothing to abandon their citizenship. So, who in GTMO meets that bill?
Bzzzt. Wrong Answer.
Perhaps you picked up this bit of disinformation in a Constitutional Law class from some perfidy-fessor. The Constitution applies to all in all parts of US territory.
And you can't really abandon your citizenship, if it is by birth. Check that ugly Constitution and the amendments passed in the aftermath of the US Civil War.
And I'm baaaack. Back from those parts of the world where the US Constitution doesn't even protect American citizens who haven't renounced their citizenship. Lots of Mekong dust and mud caught in my sneakers.
V/R Arthur -
The only entity I speak to named Arthur is my dog. You are not my dog. I'm damned if I know what you are, but you're certainly nothing to which I would care to speak. Go away.
NYMary - as for politics - seems to me that there's some prize Labor Relations schooling in your neighbourhood - seems to me that there might be a seminar or study that could be helpful as a means of approach or something?
But jeeze, it's not even 8.30 and it's still raining and I'm not particularly alert.
Red state or blue, all men over forty should have their prostates checked. Don't put it off.
Hi Tom-Daai Tou Laam! We missed you. The troll trolling this thread is best ignored. He craves attention and will leave when it is denied him. Just sayin'
Hey Eschatonians,
Guess what I just learned?
Franklin D. Roosevelt was the President who authorized internment of Japanese-Americans (EO 9066)
HE'S A DEMOCRAT!
Gerald Ford was the President who rescinded Roosevelt's Executive Order.
HE'S A REPUBLICAN!
Jesus, you people just kill me. See this is just the type of torturously inconsistent behavior out of Democrats that I regularly complain about.
V/R Arthur (Proud to NOT be a mean and bigoted Democrat) Miller
NiHao Tom...welcome back...
how goes the war?
Hi, Hecate! I'm going out pretty soon for some gooseberries - all that last night reminded me that I've not had a gooseberry fool in a long time. Anybody else want any? How much do I need to make?
Welcome back, Tom. I'm on my way out for the weekend, but maybe you can explain to the moron that the word citizen does not appear once in the Bill of Rights. The word it uses is 'people'.
Good Answer GWDPA,
Maybe your dog can help you make some sense of the issue.
V/R Arthur (I have Dogs - The Hounds of HELL!) Miller
Oh, GWPDA, please make enough for me! I love gooseberries! And I've loved a number of fools in my time as well -- but that's another story!
mim - what the folks who are complaining about Maher fail to point out is this: by opening up the topic for discussion, the real facts got out. One of the panel members, Joe Biden, pretty much slapped Maher's premise to the ground, by pointing out that there are more women graduates in mathematics and bio-chemistry, which at least suggests that women are every bit as interested and competent in these areas, if not more so, than men. Biden rightfully pointed out that whatever is occuring regarding women's advancement in these fields after graduation clearly isn't the result of a lack of interest or competence in these subject areas. To which Maher really had no possible response other than agreement.
Yeah, Maher pisses me off sometimes too with his generalizations about women. I don't see myself in the scenarios he paints - I would have been pissed as hell by Summers' remarks, perhaps even enough to walk out, but it wouldn't have made me hysterical. But, he puts the issue on the table and pretty much always has a guest that smashes it to pieces, so I have to credit him at least with having an open forum where his own assumptions are allowed to be challenged.
Like everyone else in the world, I don't agree with him 100% of the time, and he can be a jerk. But I don't see any indication that he's becoming Dennis Miller.
man, NTodd! You sleep less than I do!
Yeah, for some reason I just couldn't sleep last night. Went to be around 1, tossed and turned until 2, blogged until 3, woke up at 8, pretended to sleep until 9. My sleep sched's been all messed up since I got the flu back in 2005. What the hell year is it now, anyway?
GWPDA sez:
You are not my dog
It could be for the right price. US$200/hour. Just sayin'.
-JamesJeff Santorum
Okey-dokey Hecate, that's fool me twice or more than one, or three times. Anyway, I'll do it! Mmmmmm gooseberry fool on a nasty wet day.
But first, there's toast!
Negroponte to head SS privatization
grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr
Just saying.
One of the panel members, Joe Biden, pretty much slapped Maher's premise to the ground, by pointing out that there are more women graduates in mathematics and bio-chemistry, which at least suggests that women are every bit as interested and competent in these areas, if not more so, than men.
Yes, but what was Maher's premise? A lot of people have gotten Lawrence Summers's premise wrong, so I'd like to know what Maher said.
Oh Well,
I'll leave you haters alone for a while to get used to the morning.
I love being a Troll on this site. No matter how much you try and clarify an issue without bias, my dear "Progressive" friends here just sink lower and lower.
Oh well. I still enjoy this. It explains why us Republicans are constantly kicking your liberal asses in debates at the National, State and Local level.
My proof is the make up and treding of Congress, Governorships and State Legislatures.
Sucks to be on the losing end of things all the time.

Tom - "And if you ever get the opportunity to go see Angkor Wat and the surrounding temples, DO IT!"
I've known someone who has always very much wanted to see Angkor Wat, since '72. Obligations and responsibilities have kept him from doing so - I wish there were some way it were possible.
that's an excuse to *nap*
I love being a Troll on this site. No matter how much you try and clarify an issue without bias
Huh? What is it with the stupidity of the trolls here? A troll without bias? WTF? What a moran!
And here's an investment tip for the Bushevik troll... invest in the yuan and euro. Too bad that you've chosen a leader with neither a bit of economic or diplomatic common sense.
Something wrong with the image ads here. Page is loading all funkified.

Might take a few days to sort through all of the photos from this trip, but I'll post some up soon.
And there are lots of hotel construction for tourism and lots of archaelogical teams working on Angkor Wat, the surrounding temples, and still finding new temples and sites to excavate.
And though the Khmer people might lack the tourism industry experience, they were incredibly hospitable... even to the French and American tourists.
And if you ever get the opportunity to go see Angkor Wat and the surrounding temples, DO IT!"
I have a friend at work who saw them years ago and still raves about them. They must be amazing.
And if you ever get the opportunity to go see Angkor Wat and the surrounding temples, DO IT!"
It is one place I would like to visit before i check out the next apparatus...another: Pyramids at Giza; a third? Nepalese Himilayas...
mim - Maher's premise was that "is it unspeakable to suggest that men and women might just be different?" He also used an anecdote about a female scientist graduate of Harvard who was present during Summers' remarks, who said it made her sick, she had to leave the room, etc. Maher said "isn't that just like a girl?"
So yeah, he's got a real blind spot when it comes to women in general. He's one of the majority of men who aren't really capable of thinking of women as individuals. And that's not a slap at the non-troll men here, who don't fit that description, it's just statement of what I see all around me every day - which is that something over half of all men don't see women other than their mom, their sister, their wife, or their daughter as individuals. And quite a few of them can't even see the women in these close relationships as individuals equal to men.
Aside from that, Maher's usually reasonable and rational. But like I said before, virtually everyone on the planet has some glaring shortcoming like this. When he does it, I just think, "damn, there you go, showing off your worst side again" and wait until he moves on.
Now, I'm gonna go figure out how to invest my privatized portion of SS.
Don't look now, brainwave, but you are drastically misinformed. Which is what your hero Dubyah wants.
You will not get to keep any of your "inevestments" that earn over three percent AND (this is a big one peter-breath), you will NOT get to cash in your investment. It will be held in trust by none other than the US gov't that you love so dearly. Plus, when you expire (which won't be soon enough for any of us), any of the money left in your annuity will go back into the SS fund. Enjoy.
Now for a little ZAPPA for you, robbo:

which also explains why he's always nice to Ann Coulter, she apparently fitting into the category "women I want to nail/have nailed," a social position in which he has to at least pretend to like her.
Jennifer:
"Men" of Mahers ilk see women only as tits and ass. I reckon GWB stared at his daughters' tits whenever he thought nobody was noticing...probably talked about 'em, too, when drunk and coked-out.
Remember when asked what he and Poppie talked about when it was not politics, Dee-Dubya replied: "PUSSY!"
Most (white) men are (racist, sexist, agist, ablist, etc.) assholes. Few ever even endeavor to comprehend the reasons that they are regarded as pigs; sounds a lot like Murkins in general, don't it.

Eschaton Troll Jammer,
In your tirad, you forgot to mention one itty-bitty-teeny-weeny fact...you dont have any say or control in how to invest your money; Uncle Sugar will take care of that for you. Which begs the question...
"If the personal account does not earn more than 3%, whose fault is it? The investor or investee?"
Remember, if it earns less than 3%, you'll be worst off than if you stayed with the original plan. So if Uncle Sugar makes some lower than average or simply bad investments, the investee suffers for their mistake. I wonder if they will insert a clause that exempts them from legal actions in cases of less than expected rates of returns?

This Miller-duffus is a typical republican shit-for-brains fool alright.
"The Constitution only applies to US Citizens who have done nothing to abandon their citizenship."
Please cite for me "EXACTLY" where in the Constitution this is stated WORD FOR WORD!!!!! Please?
You can't can you? Because it isn't there. It may be there IN YOUR MIND, but its not there on paper. That makes what you said nothing more than a wisp of smoke...no substance to it.
Please go triffle someone else...first graders should be an even match for you.
Your post does remind me of a quote from Shakespear's, King Lear. Where a knight and the Kings's Fool are looking over the ramparts of the castle. It's the part where the the Fool replys to the knight question and says..." Who's the more foolish? The Fool? Or the fools that follow?

'Egyptian Doctors Remove Baby's Second Head'
Click homepage for link....
BENHA, Egypt (Reuters) - Egyptian doctors said they removed a second head from a 10-month-old girl suffering from one of the rarest birth defects in an operation Saturday. Abla el-Alfy, a consultant in paediatric intensive care, told Reuters at the hospital in Benha, near Cairo, that Manar Maged was in a serious but improving condition after the procedure to treat her for craniopagus parasiticus -- a problem related to that of conjoined twins linked at the skull. "We are still working on the baby. After surgery ... you get unstable blood pressure, you get fever. But she is stabilizing," Alfy said. "We have some improvement." As in the case of a girl who died after similar surgery in the Dominican Republic a year ago, the second twin had developed no body. The head that was removed from Manar had been capable of smiling and blinking but not independent life, doctors said.
Yes. There is a god, and this is what he does to little children who do not accept christ, or conservative republican values.....

Maher rags on Bush and the republicans worse than Jon Stewart does on The Daily Show.
But he is a primadonna and a womanizer as was noted above.
He's totally un-PC, and that has earned him at least some respect from the psycho-conservatives like Coulter who Maher flirts with incessantly.

Oh, Addison. That's just over an hour south of us! There's NO WAY she could resist one of those cute things. I'll even promise to clean up after it.
She probably won't believe me. I don't clean the catboxes frequently enough, either. Personally, I think she just wants to keep the horsey stuff to herself (they have several at the ranch she works at on weekends).

How can anyone flirt with Coulter? She of the toothpick legs and orange hair with black roots?

Ugh!
Maher also thinks Viet Nam was a noble cause and we could have "won" there.
Of course, he being too y oung to have been sent to that hellhole.......
And yes, his attitude towards women sucks. There's a good reason why he dates nothing but Playboy centerfolds and strippers.
I don't think he can deal with a woman with a working brain who (gasp!) would actually disagree with him on certain subjects.
To him, women are nothing but tits and asses.
Scrutiny Hooligans are at it again with the Not Pretty Pic Dump.
um, i hope dave's post 4 minutes after mine wasn't intended for me. i don't own any fascist fashions nor possess any such leanings. the words "heroic lies" were of course chalabi's own characterization of his snake oil salesman's type actions. but i was 'drinking radically' last evening and with my turgid brain balanced carefully on my neck must now dress and stagger off to work. if you find yourself in (reno's so close to hell that you can see) sparks, nevada today swing by the race and sportsbook and i'll give you a couple of drink coupons. i'll be the one wearing a patriots jersey with W. CLARK 08 on the back.
carry on.
Please pardon the whoring, but ya'll come 'n see me. There is an article in Le Monde by Thierry de Montbrial which *nails* the current situation in Iraq. I know a little French and translated it for your reading pleasure.
You know, I always get a little disturbed when people attack Ann Coulter for her looks -- as if we're afraid to say anything nice about her. It a cheap critique that obscures more important issues. She's not phenomenal, but she's good looking for some, and it's OK to admit that -- because mentally she's as disgusting and repellent as they come.
Let's face it, if she wasn't good-looking, would anybody pay any attention to her? She's an absolute lunatic, as well as steaming hypocritical pack of lies. It's unbelievable to me that anybody would ever have her on television. If she was a satirist, she would be hilarious. But she's not, and to give her any implied legitimacy is ridiculous. She's given a forum, more than any other reason, to convince misogynistic, greedy, self-righteous and sometimes racist conservative wingnuts that they are not nearly as unattractive to women as they really are.
Egad! I screwed up an HTML link! Me, of all people.
Let's try again.
Look, it's Michelle Malkin and her main squeeze back in the Phillipines.
And here's her LiveJournal.
