Trevor is just Robbie, when he's being honest. Robbie also has a great excuse about how he can't sign up for Iraq because it would stick his mom and sister with his student loans. Even when shown that this is demonstrably untrue, Robbie continues to assert it. He first showed up around here about a year ago as a "sincere" troll. The "sincere" part didn't last long. He'd try to end arguments by saying he had to go off and take a test, and then would weigh in shortly later and claim he didn't have to take any tests. Robbie is a major wanker.

The polls show that Cindy Sheehan is a polarizing figure. I guess the Democratic Senators and presidential hopefuls, EXCEPT AL GORE, have read the polls and don't want to be seen with Cindy.
Well, Sen. John Edwards didn't have balls and got his wife, Elizabeth Edwards to support
Cindy

can you all imagine we got Bush and Co for another 3 years....?
Just wanted to remind y'all of the 22nd Amendment, and the clause, "no person who has held the office of President, or acted as President, for more than two years of a term to which some other person was elected President shall be elected to the office of the President more than once."
Thus the countdown is on to the moment when George becomes (more) superfluous. With slightly less than two years left in his term, something will "happen" to him, perhaps another stroke—er, I mean pretzel attack.
Then Cheney gets to make his reign official. With the mechanisms in place to rig the 2008 and 2012 elections, Dickey "Heart" Cheney then rules for nearly ten years—thus giving them time to complete their "democracy enhancement" at home and abroad.
That's your crazed conspiracy thought for the day!
Thank you, drive safely, and avoid small aircraft.

IRAQ’s insurgents have threatened to kill all the secular politicians involved in writing the country’s new constitution in an apparent attempt to push the the rival Sunni and Shi’ite communities towards civil war.
Wingers and warbloggers like to misquote Orwell.
"People sleep peaceably in their beds at night only because rough men stand ready to do violence on their behalf?" Or: "We sleep safely at night because rough men stand ready to visit violence on those who would harm us?"
But Orwell never said that. He did make comments that were along similar lines. In his essay on Rudyard Kipling (1942), Orwell wrote: "[Kipling] sees clearly that men can only be highly civilized while other men, inevitably less civilised, are there to guard and feed them." And in his 'Notes on Nationalism' (1945) he wrote: "Those who "abjure" violence can only do so because others are committing violence on their behalf." Where the rough men crept in is anyone's guess but I think you could say that Saddam was one of them, preventing the very thing we have caused in Iraq. The same thing happened in Russia, unless the Chechies were taking theaters and schools and we just didn't hear about it. Bring 'em on!

Preparing for the "worst case"...
I thought the mission was accomplished
Army Planning for 4 More Years in Iraq
By ROBERT BURNS, AP Military Writer
Saturday, August 20, 2005
(08-20) 14:49 PDT WASHINGTON, (AP) --
The Army is planning for the possibility of keeping the current number of soldiers in Iraq — well over 100,000 — for four more years, the Army's top general said Saturday.
In an Associated Press interview, Gen. Peter Schoomaker said the Army is prepared for the "worst case" in terms of the required level of troops in Iraq. He said the number could be adjusted lower if called for by slowing the force rotation or by shortening tours for soldiers.
Schoomaker said commanders in Iraq and others who are in the chain of command will decide how many troops will be needed next year and beyond. His responsibility is to provide them, trained and equipped.

When things are “fucked up,” say so openly and not just to a Rolling Stone interviewer. If personally attacked, challenge the accusers immediately and forcefully with withering contempt. Temper that frankness with an ounce of self-deprecating humor, a dash of laughter at the expense of the sitting President and the national press Corps, and voila, you have a winning recipe.

Bush: Troops in Iraq protect US from terror
August 20 2005 at 03:18PM
Crawford, Texas - American President George Bush said on Saturday that United States troops in Iraq were fighting to protect Americans at home from terrorism like the September 11 attacks four years ago.
"Our troops know that they're fighting in Iraq, Afghanistan, and elsewhere to protect their fellow Americans from a savage enemy," Bush said in his weekly radio address.
"They know that if we do not confront these evil men abroad, we will have to face them one day in our own cities and streets, and they know that the safety and security of every American is at stake in this war, and they know we will prevail," he said.
oh oh. a band is showing up to play at my cafe. i am the only here. this kinda blows. cuz if i leave now, its rude. but if no one shows up theyll be playing to themselves. if i stay theyll be playing to me. what if they suck? they look cool. appropriately hipster. maybe i could convince them to be my clients. but i work for a firm where i cant do that.

How does one become an "Eschatidiot" for the day? If you get the title, does that mean Rob's been hanging out at your blog?

There are millions of registered voters just waiting to follow the first one with the courage to stand up to Bush.
They're late. His name is Dean, and he won't run in '08. Dammit.

I would like to point out that its 5:14pm on the Left Coast. That means that the martooni in my hand -- that I'm only drinking because Mr. Philosopherking™ and Hecate made me -- does not make me a bad person.

Rethugs rely on Americans (on average) being shockingly insular, parochial and ignorant of the rest of the world.
Apparently self absorbed republican supporting white men are the fraidiest cat's on the planet.

I am feeling like a peon. Demoralization is part of being on the internet. Go do a property search of all the people you grew up with and discover how half of them are millionaires.

Also, his assertions that no one who supports the war should have to watch "icky" pictures of war on tv. He's the worst sort of trash. The worst.
Hecate
How would that make people FOR the war?
My late dad and I used to have knock down, drag out screaming arguments about Viet Nam.
He said once that I should go visit a VA hospital.
I told him "Well, that's a dumb thing to say. How would seeing what war does to people make me pro-war?"

Face it: No amount of exercise and clean living is going to save you.
Life is a fatal, sexually-transmitted disease.

Did you know that the amount of C4 that can fit in a titty can derail a train?

No amount of clean living... By that logic there is no compelling reason NOT to tune in, turn on and drop out.

Being a millionaire is not my goal. I do realize that finding this blog and reading what others post here has enriched my life.

Another bullshit "concerned" troll, come to infect us with is love and devotion.
Isn't this the same asshole who was badgering us about the environment the other day?

Materialist values in America dictate that it is unreasonable not to want to be a millionaire. Your worth is guaged by the things you own. If you don't keep up, you're pathologized.

Read that wrong - thought it said anyone who won't support the war should have to watch the "icky" pictures.
Either way, he's still the worst sort of trash.

And I should care about the opinion of people who measure worth by such yardsticks -- why??
