OOoh -

I just got a look at the ditz who made the "Arab" crack about Obama.

The one McCain took to task?

Where was her keeper?

Something WRONG with THAT woman.


GravatarUm, what is John Lewis right about?

Gotta be more interesting than my CV.


GravatarJohn Lewis said today that what John McCain and Sarah Palin have been doing (ramping up and encouraging the hate speech) is fostering a climate of hate that could have terrible consequences.

He went on to say that George Wallace never threw a bomb, but the result of his incendiary language was the death of 4 little girls in Alabama in the 60's and that McCain and Palin are playing with fire.


McCain is outraged. Palin sez, "what's the problem?"

His response to John Lewis is pretty clear.

Lewis might as well be MLK, and this might as well be the '60's redux. I've seen this movie. This is how it went down.


GravatarTexas beat Chokelahoma.




The ONLY thing Chilifarts has to be happy about these days.


GravatarLet's see: the DNC, or John Lewis?

I think a good barometer of these things is young people.

I grew up in the 60's so I'm pretty sensitive to this kind of thing.

But centaurette reacts with revulsion and horror as well and goes right to the KKK reference with no prompting.


McCain has got a BIG problem. In general, the younger cohort isn't racist. And they don't like this shit.

The margin for Obama in that age group will just keep getting larger.


GravatarI was taught that you don't repudiate someone for telling the truth.

Then again, I wasn't raised a rat winger.


Gravatarblerb - if you're still around

I wasn't attacking your opinion of Rachel at all. Just noting that I find it amusing when we here give advice to people who have spent a lifetime working at what they do and are quite successful at it.

Kind of like me telling a plumber how to fix the dishwasher. Or giving ChiDyke gardening advice.


GravatarReading Lewis' entire statement, it is clearly 'shocking and beyond the pale.'

McCain's conduct, I mean. Lewis has more moral gravitas in his little finger than McCain has ever had.

True, dat. I hear it and mentally shrug and say "He's right, and both of us have heard worse." Younger people hear it and are amazed at the ugliness, an ugliness I still almost take for granted.

Good on Mr. Lewis for reminding us just how ugly it is. Indeed, McCain's reaction speaks volumes. Obviously Rep. Lewis struck a nerve.

GravatarLarry Hagman excited about 30th `Dallas' reunion

PARKER, Texas (AP) - Larry Hagman was reluctant to be on a new TV show called "Dallas" when he first read the script in the late 1970s, figuring there wouldn't be any money in it.

But his wife persuaded him to give the role of conniving oil baron and cattle rancher J.R. Ewing a shot, saying they could "renegotiate" and that the job might pay off.

It did, eventually earning Hagman a reported $100,000 or more per episode. And now fans from across the world are paying as much as $1,000 apiece to celebrate the 30th anniversary of the debut of what became one of the most popular prime-time soap operas in TV history.

GravatarUnhelpful for establishing the tone McCain sought in Davenport was the Rev. Arnold Conrad, past pastor of the Grace Evangelical Free Church. His prayer before McCain arrived at the convention center blocks from the Mississippi River appeared to dismiss faiths other than Christianity and cast the election as a referendum on God himself.

"I would also pray, Lord, that your reputation is involved in all that happens between now and November, because there are millions of people around this world praying to their god — whether it's Hindu, Buddha, Allah — that his opponent wins, for a variety of reasons," Conrad said.

"And Lord, I pray that you would guard your own reputation, because they're going to think that their god is bigger than you, if that happens. So I pray that you will step forward and honor your own name with all that happens between now and Election Day," he said.

GravatarHi Folks. Last night I was researching Michael Nesmith from the Monkees. it turns out his mom invented liquid paper in the 50's when she was a working single mother and secretary. The product didn't become profitable until the late 60's and it wasn't until 1979 when she sold the rights with royalties to a company for 50 million dollars. The next year she died and Nesmith inherited 25 million dollars. Before that time, the 10 years following the Monkees, he was essentially poor. This is really an all american story.

Going all psycho-wingnut all the time ain't going to help McCain's election chances.

Someone posted the theory yesterday that McCain has simply thrown in the towel, and is doing the Nuremburg/KKK rallies just for fund raising purposes, to make sure his election war chest ends up in positive territory instead of in debt.

I kind of wonder if there's something to that idea. Of course, they also want the psycho base to show up to vote for their wingnut congress critters.

Oil is down to $83 bbl. That's a world price, not a domestic one.

The lower prices reflect lower demand, prompted partly by high prices in the summer, partly by the recession which we aren't yet officially in.

Pitiful self-projection. The problem with extreme decentralization in some evangelical sects is that it attracts manipulative demagogues.

Any old snake oil dealer can handle out a shingle and call himself preacher and start fleecing the sheep. Is it any wonder that they all lean to the right polically?

There seems to be movement back towards the center with the younger generation - but it's tough for them. It took the Southern Baptists many years to repudiate racism after the rest of the nation had already done so.


GravatarI kind of wonder if there's something to that idea. Of course, they also want the psycho base to show up to vote for their wingnut congress critters.

Costco generally has the lowest price around here, and unless it dropped another $.25 per gallon in the past 3 days, it's not that low here.

Gravatarcnn just did a fact check on obama's criticism of mccain's mortgage plan - and concluded it was "true"

then they laughed about "wow! something was true!" for a while.

but if you go to the fact check page of their website, all of the obama statements they check are true.

all of the mccain statements - except one - are false or misleading.

so i guess i can understand their skepticism - half of what politicians say is a lie!


GravatarDidn't some jackass U.S. general use that "my god is better than your god" crapolla?


Yeah he said something like "Muslims worship the devil" or something. But what this guy said was different. I think he was trying, in a very ham-fisted sort of way, to be "tolerant." It just doesn't come naturally to some folks.

listening to an author of a book analyzing the "oil crisis" the other day on NPR. She said that the US has LARGE oil reserves and that the oil companies are refining less of it to keep prices up. It isn't a supply problem it is a greed and conspiracy problem. Here is the link:http://www.npr.org/templates/story/story.php? storyId=95465269

she made some good sense.

Oil is down to $83 bbl. That's a world price, not a domestic one.

The lower prices reflect lower demand, prompted partly by high prices in the summer, partly by the recession which we aren't yet officially in.


The lower prices also reflect the fact that the people speculating in that market are also caught up in the credit crisis. Troubled investment banks like Morgan Stanley are heavily involved in commodities, as are hedge funds, who are now experiencing massive withdraws.

Oil futures contracts are rapidly being sold to pay off those debts.

GravatarIn 2001 Alan Greenspan had mounted the extraordinary argument that budget surpluses were too big and that the US foreign debt would be paid off too quickly.

Under vigorous and often aggressive questioning by Hillary Clinton in 2005, Dr Greenspan, looking decidedly uncomfortable, said that, with the benefit of hindsight, he had been mistaken in his view about budget surpluses.

"We were confronted at the time with an almost universal expectation amongst experts that we were dealing with a very large surplus for which there seemed to be no end," he said. "I look back and I would say to you, if confronted with the same evidence we had back then, I would recommend exactly what I recommended then. Turns out we were all wrong".

"Not all of us," snapped Senator Clinton.

GravatarOh my, something is up. Obama has now admitted on his website on a Kenyan citizenship. He is now in damage control. See below:

“When Barack Obama Jr. was born on Aug. 4,1961, in Honolulu, Kenya was a British colony, still part of the United Kingdom’s dwindling empire. As a Kenyan native, Barack Obama Sr. was a British subject whose citizenship status was governed by The British Nationality Act of 1948. That same act governed the status of Obama Sr.‘s children.

Since Sen. Obama has neither renounced his U.S. citizenship nor sworn an oath of allegiance to Kenya, his Kenyan citizenship automatically expired on Aug. 4,1982.”

Why do you think Obama's minions in Kenya kicked out David Corsi???

October surprise, here we come...


GravatarOil futures contracts are rapidly being sold to pay off those debts.
Richard

And the credit crisis is also strengthening the dollar. It was suggested at the height of the oil "crisis" that the actual price of oil - without the speculation and the lowering of the dollar - should be about 70-80 dollars a bbl. Looks like that is where we are heading. But with current economic conditions, it will probably trend lower. People without money will not be pushing the envelope higher.

(vindication on so many levels is gratifying - sort of. :| )

GravatarThe thing is, whether or not Kenya issued a birth certificat for Barack Obama due to his father's status as a Kenyan is utterly irrelevant to his status as a US citizen born on US soil.

Kenya's desire to grant him citizenship due to his heritage isn't much different than someone born in the US but having a parent of Swedish or Thai or Peruvian citizenship graning that child citizenship because their parents were nationals of that country.

Heck, Americans can be born that way. Congress addressed this in 1790. John McCain is a US citizen despite the fact he was not born on US soil because his parents were American citizens.

This is just stupid and desperate and easily refuted. It speaks to the total intellectual bankruptcy of so many Obama haters.

Luckily, it seems there are a lot more people who can.


GravatarJohn McCain is a citizen--but he's not a NATURAL BORN citizen

"This issue has been raised before in the presidential campaigns of Barry Goldwater, born in Arizona territory not the United States, and George Romney, born in Mexico. But it was never resolved.

"In 1964, the Supreme Court seemed to say, without deciding, that "natural born" meant born inside the United States. In an opinion on an unrelated issue, the court observed, "The rights of citizenship of the native born and of the naturalized person are of the same dignity and are coextensive. The only difference drawn by the Constitution is that only the 'natural born' citizen is eligible to be President." But that language is not legally binding, and the Supreme Court has never ruled on what "natural born" means."

No one will raise it as an issue because Democrats are wimps but you can be damn sure if the situations were reversed and Obama was born in Panama instead of McCain, there would be legal briefs flying all around the place.

GravatarMichael Berube's letter to conservatards:

Folks, I don’t think you understand how we truly feel about you. We mock you and tease you, I know, and you hate us for it. But we don’t hate you back. Really, we don’t. We’re secular pluralists, after all, and we know we have to find ways of sharing this planet with people who can’t stand secular pluralists. We really just want you to leave us alone. Still, we have our limits. The way you’ve behaved over the past decade or two leads us to believe that you’ll do whatever it takes to make the next decade or two a living hell for everyone who’s sincerely trying to clean up all the messes you’ve made. And we just can’t be bothered with that nonsense right now. This is too important.

Understand, I don’t want to deprive you of your pastimes and your livelihoods. On the contrary: I want you to enjoy them to the fullest extent imaginable—but in a way that doesn’t interfere with sane people. So I have a proposal.

We will spend $500 trillion and create 150 million new, high-paying jobs creating an alternate reality for you. In a state of your choosing—but preferably Utah, Oklahoma, or Alaska—we will construct a massive VR installation complete with all your favorite obsessions and catering to your every resentment. In this separate, self-enclosed universe, President Palin and Vice-President Tancredo will run things just like you think they oughta be; crescents and croissants will be banned; An American Carol will sweep the Oscars; television will consist of two channels, Fox and Fox Sports; and the ten commandments will be proudly displayed in every classroom and courtroom, together with a Very Angry Eagle if you like. There won’t be any elite universities or sneering college professors, of course, but there will be Mexicans, so that you can call for their deportation and then hire them to mow your lawn and work in your pork-processing plants; there will be gay people, so that your sense of sexual identity can be properly threatened at all times; and there will be a black person, played by Gloria Foster, so that you can prevent her from voting.

It’s totally a win-win. You’ll love it, and you’ll be out of our hair. And all you have to do is lie down in this comfy little pod of pink goo.

Same for Henry Kissinger, who was excluded from the line of succession when he was Secretary of State.

SoBe is correct that this issue has never been definitively resolved, because a situation hasn't come up where it's in question. McCain may have been born in the Canal Zone, but that didn't stop him from attending Annapolis, where I'm pretty sure citizenship is a requirement.

I'm pretty sure the 1790 law would be cited in any arguments, because it directly addressed the issue of children born of US citizens overseas.


GravatarGotta get ready for the hockey game. Laterz.


GravatarI thought you had killfiled me for being a "troll".

I had but Dirk suggested that you might not be so I undid the kill. But you really need to do some research before you make unsupportable statements such as your last assertion about European gas prices.

Here's another site with euro gas prices, you've got to scroll down:

GravatarI hope others are sending this story to the mainstream media.




It's not true, you fucking moron.

$8.62/Gallon in UK, Demand Fell 20% in Past 12 Months
http://www.treehugger.com/files/...-oil- energy.php

It seems like demand for gasoline (or petrol, as they say in the UK) isn't quite as inelastic as the pessimists feared. One liter of gasoline costs about 117p in the UK, which is about $8.62 per US gallon if you convert it. That's over twice as much as in the US, and at that level, the International Energy Agency (IEA) reports that demand for gasoline in Britain is down about 20% over the past 12 months.


GravatarBut the bigger point here

. . . is an entirely different point?

Didn't see that coming!

Thank heaven!


GravatarIsn't it about time for Kissinger to take his long awaited dirt nap?

Can be hidden if he combs his hair the right way.


GravatarTerry C, do you agree with Obama's statement that sub-prime mortgages are "a good thing"?


GravatarFuck man, tomorrow go into your American bank, Asian bank, European, except Iceland, bank and you'll get your money, and your full money. Dude, beyond that Philly Savings and Loan is totally fucked. Good luck in the breadlines fuck.

What has that to do with your racism?


GravatarBeautiful fall day here in Minnesota, but starting to cloud up this afternoon. I'm still feelin' sunny, tho, knowing that John McCain is wasting another day campaigning in the upper midwest. He's booked into small venues that he can fill without Sarahbot as an opening act, in areas where Republicans are largely moderates, so he doesn't need to dish red meat. On the other hand, he's getting booed, there are empty seats in the house and he's continuing to putz around in states--MN, WI, IA--where he has almost no chance of winning. I'm guessing he's being scheduled so as to feel better about himself after a week of ticking off every sentient person in the media and in mainstream politics.


GravatarMust start another batch of apple butter.  Then, another batch of pickled red peppers. 


GravatarGWPDA. Just how many pickled red peppers does one need?

‘Irresponsible’ Mortgages Have Opened Doors to Many of the Excluded

GravatarCash-up motherfuckers, while you can. This ain't no three day storm.


GravatarBTW....Sheeeeeeeeeeeeeets!!


GravatarSee the quotation marks around "irresponsible?" That means he doesn't think they're irresponsible, but other people have said so. Then he explains why the loans are good policy. Were you educated in Alaska or something?


Gravatar"80 percent of Americans say the U.S. is going in the wrong direction,
the biggest percentage since
the poll began asking that question in 1991."


GravatarThe Troopergate report was just released yesterday.

Based on the finding that Gov. Sarah Palin had violated Alaska's Ethics Act by letting her husband, Todd Palin, use her office to launch a personal, family-feud vendetta against her sister's ex-husband, is anyone ready for Todd Palin (if his wife is elected vice-president) to be a heartbeat away from the presidency?

This is my take on what a McCain/Palin presidency would mean.

That Todd Palin, who has numerous connections to far, right-wing militia groups, would have a very high platform from which to push the interests of all these groups (Timothy McVeigh would be soooo evnious) if his wife ends up being vice-president (a heartbeat away from the presidency)...just as Sarah Palin herself would have a very high platform, too, from which to push her hardcore, anti-U.S. Constitution religious bigotries and biases, with her witch doctor pastor friend no doubt being called upon by her to exorcise all the "witches" from our nation and drive out the "liberal devil"...which would be the death-knell for our freedom-loving, liberal democracy.

(Remember, Jesus Christ was a LIBERAL).

Obama/Biden '08 !!!
