I'MMA LET YOU FINISH

fuck biden.


Gravatarhowdy


GravatarI can't wait to read the words, "Biden's out"!!!


GravatarBeat it, Joes Biden, Lieberman, and Klein.


GravatarI'm back

Our Spinoza
got a front page shout-out at www.martinirevolution.com


Gravatar[from previous thread]

amputees sent back into battle.

Yeah, how 'bout that?

One of the many appalling insanities in our topsy-turvy world is how utterly abominable events and practices are spun as positives. So turning physically mangled soldiers into cyber-warriors by fitting them with high-tech prostheses is presented as a miraculous step ahead-- progress!

I admit I can't bring myself to make a point of reading corporate news reports on this subject, even Associated Press wire service reports now that the AP has degenerated into just another wingnut infotainment source. But-- correct me if I'm wrong-- my guess is that most news reports on this topic will feature victims-- er, troops-- who are appropriately enthusiastic about rejoining their outfit and giving it their best... well, shot.

I'm also certain that the articles will, like "Onion" parodies, feature comments from psychologists and other medical personnel emphasizing the "positives" of this diabolical turn of events: the soldier is spared the mental anguish and life-long issues of feeling useless, disempowered, guilt-ridden by persistent irrational feelings of having abandoned or failed his/her comrades, nostalgic, and alienated from civilian society.

It is, I'm guessing, pointed out that as superficially inappropriate as it may seem, multilated troops returning to combat assignments, or even combat-support assignments, is a win-win outcome. The military doesn't lose its investment, the hero feels appreciated and vindicated, and the Mission goes forward! Just put me back in, Coach-- I know I can do it this time!

Hooray for our side.


GravatarCan we get a demographic breakdown on how many black viewers Fox News has?

Then shove it up Biden's ass???


GravatarWho needs a cat or two?

GravatarAre there any other race based congressional caucuses? just curious...

GravatarOops! http://www.rollingstone.com/nati...orse-than-bush/


GravatarBiden is articulate for a white guy.


GravatarIt's a really special day, for it is TWO Episodes of WHAT HAVE THE KAGANS BEEN WRONG ABOUT NOW?

THERE'S FRED

and there's also ROBERT

A KEGEL of KAGANS!


GravatarTaibbi kicks ass
and is assailed frequently by Rolling Stone letters page trolls


GravatarJoe can hardly complain about not getting any air time. Who's number one on the number of interviews on Press the Meat? Okay, John McCain. Who's the number two guest, blabbing away almost non-stop? Why, that would be little Joey Biden.

Maybe Joe is looking for appearances on the Factor, where he can be billed as "a Democrat who hates the extreme position of his wacko party."


GravatarAl Gore on Cspan says our Constitution presumes reasoned argument and therefore policy based on reason. I think that was Edmund Burke, not our founding fathers. Policy based on reason is inherently democratic. Who's doing the reasoning? Elites in Washington?


GravatarPolicy based on Reason is inherently Undemocratic.


GravatarThe Latinos have a caucus.


GravatarPolicy based on "faith" is psychopthic


GravatarTaibbi nails it:

Rudy Giuliani is a true American hero, and we know this because he does all the things we expect of heroes these days -- like make $16 million a year, and lobby for Hugo Chávez and Rupert Murdoch, and promote wars without ever having served in the military, and hire a lawyer to call his second wife a "stuck pig," and organize absurd, grandstanding pogroms against minor foreign artists, and generally drift through life being a shameless opportunist with an outsize ego who doesn't even bother to conceal the fact that he's had a hard-on for the presidency since he was in diapers. In the media age, we can't have a hero humble enough to actually be one; what is needed is a tireless scoundrel, a cad willing to pose all day long for photos, who'll accept $100,000 to talk about heroism for an hour, who has the balls to take a $2.7 million advance to write a book about himself called Leadership. That's Rudy Giuliani. Our hero. And a perfect choice to uphold the legacy of George W. Bush.


GravatarA democratic form of government has the obligation of giving the idiots whatever they say they want.


GravatarIts cry is haunting. I think it's really the hairplugs screaming in agony.

Quick, someone alert the newspapers!

That's why I appreciate being able to post on these threads.


GravatarAlright, back to that "something useful" bizness..


GravatarReason is reasoanble


GravatarFrom downstairs:

i once saw egg yolks flying around the room in a streaming form coming out of cooked eggs on a plate some longhaired girl cooked me.


she said 'how many tabs did you take?'
i said '4'
she said 'you're out for the weekend'
but i wasn't
illyakran


Is illyakran the second coming of the early Richard Brautigan?


GravatarWise Old Man Biden is above your petty squabbles.

Learned everything he knows from the guy he plagiarized, doncha know.

He deserves every low blow that comes his idiot way.


GravatarPolicy based on reason is inherently democratic.

Stupid is as stupid does.

The new rallying cry of the Brownshirt Party!


GravatarI bet this free movie is going to suck. I'm not Will Farrell's biggest fan.

GravatarAh, Deacon Blues...just the mention of Richard Brautigan...thank you.


GravatarThat's why I appreciate being able to post on these threads.

The hall monitors have been alerted to your presence.

Watch your ass...


Gravatarwhich movie for free JP?


GravatarI bet this free movie is going to suck.

Unless it's "Enemy of the People", probably.

Though that last one he did - about the guy who became a stockbroker - has the virtue of being filmed in SF. Enjoy the scenery!


GravatarDaddy-O
"Revenge of the Lawn" opened my eyes and remains beloved 35 years on.


GravatarI'M Reasonably sure my camera battery is charged


GravatarI will somehow oversee the making of the film "A Confederate General" before my life is done.

His most accessible and comic novel, IMO...I heard from his daughter's husband they have a producer, but it could be blather.


GravatarOwl on a Vespa

or rather,

Scooter Sheets.

A-Man's back and espressoed.


GravatarMy favorite two Brautigan books were "Trout Fishing" and "Confederate General," then I kinda lost interest. Though I was leafing through "In Watermelon Sugar" a while back and found it interesting. So I might get back into him.

I love my copy of "Trout Fishing" - the type looks like it was just typewritten onto the page!


GravatarThe hall monitors have been alerted to your presence.

Watch your ass...


I can't. It's behind me.


GravatarOnly in the year 2007 could I be discussing Brautigan and a possible film, sitting beside my pond talking about anthropomorphization of animals with an 8-year-old simultaneously.

What a world...


GravatarWhile listening to "I Don't Know" by the Blues Brothers...


GravatarThe Fox News Channel is the only clean, articulate, handsome channel out there!

GravatarCalling him Joementum is still ridiculous given that his position on Iraq is diametrically opposed to Lieberman's, but Biden is dead wrong.

You really need to give this up, Atrios. It diminishes how bad Lieberman really is.


GravatarMarion Steinfels (Joementum 2004 and 2006) is on the Biden bus, no?


GravatarI want to kill Biden.
He is an ass's ass.
I can't remember the last time a Democrat did something so destructive to the party.
You know I just had an epiphany, Biden is a friken narcissist. Go rot Biden.


GravatarAs Tim Russert's pet Democrat, now that Lieberman's an Independent, Biden gets so much air time on "Meet the Press" he doesn't really need the Fox exposure. Only avarice can explain his participation in the debate.
