You all do realise that this birth certificate stuff is just basically insane, right?


Ever since the Dan Rather "kerning incident", the low grade wingnut psychos see "forgeries" everywhere, like fundies see Jesus in their burnt toast.

Of course, in the case of Dan Rather, the forged document was a Karl Rove dirty trick, and the evidence of forgery was given to wingnuts in advance so that they could expose it for publicity.

Somehow, I don't that's operative here.

you are correct. even the repubs don't want mccain to win.

they don't however want too large of a landslide, and they want to keep the turnout down to protect senate seats as well as they can.

low turnout ALWAYS benefits repubs. that alone should tell us something about our democracy.

GravatarSpeaking of Fred Hiatt...

Anyone of youse folks who comments at the WaPo, please add "Fire Fred Hiatt" to the end of your message. I doubt if Donald Graham will actually do so, because Donald Graham is a member of that small section of America that IS "Bush's Base": the tycoon class.

But it'd be amusing to see those scumbags respond to it.

GravatarCharles Krauthammer was paralyzed in a swimming pool diving accident during his first year at Harvard Medical School.

An awful thing to have happen to you, but his family and friends support group were rich enough to absorb it, and he went on to get his MD.

It was so awful, that he wants anybody else who has a similar medical malady to just die.

GravatarSometimes I think the solution to "The Krauthammer Question" is to take him out to the middle of the Mass Pike, dump him out of his wheelchair, and let him fend for himself.

GravatarI have a copy of my birth cert. However, a few years back when we were dealing with packing away my mother's stuff, my ex spirited away the hospital receipt for my birth (my mom had kept it).

The receipt was for 68 dollars, plus my folks had made a deposit of 75, so they got change back. This cracked up my ex.

She had it put in one of those fancy chmancy box frames along with a photo and the little bracelet thingie.

Hobby Lobby charged her almost twice as much for the framing job as it cost for me to be born..

(and I'm not that old either)

GravatarHeh...via HuffPo:

Some of President Bush's allies tell the Political Bulletin they are embarrassed and angry that the White House seems to be wasting Bush's time on frivolous events when much of the country is suffering through economic hard times. "Look at the schedule for Monday," says an outside Bush adviser. "A highlight of his day was witnessing a tee ball game. ... He is being reduced to child's play." The adviser says Bush also signed a supplemental appropriations bill for the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan on Monday, but he adds that it didn't get much coverage and that the tee ball game set the wrong tone. There is growing concern among Bush allies that the Democrats will effectively portray the President and GOP candidate John McCain as out of touch. Some GOP insiders now predict that the Republicans will lose at least five seats in the Senate and 15 to 20 in the House, and it could get worse if gasoline prices continue to soar and the public remains in a disgruntled mood.


GravatarZap! you bastard!

GravatarLooking forward to Trent Lott's tribute to Jesse and the "Good Ol' Days".


GravatarMark, I've been driving a lot because I work at 2 colleges right now.  My home campus isn't very far, but I've been driving into the city four days a week, and on two of those days, back to my home campus.  Fortunately, the nighttime home class is complete as of this coming Tuesday night. Then there are those trips to visit Mlle, and those cost me a pretty penny. 

Now that I'm only working daytime hours, I'm getting on the train.  Enough of this.

Bush is what past GOPer Presidents wanted to be, but were never allowed to completely get away with.

Any resistance Bushco might have felt to his policies was eliminated by 9/11. As a result, we got to see the radical face of conservativism in it's pure form for really the first time, at least at the presidential level.

How different things would have been without 9/11.


GravatarConsider such non-obscure points as John McCain is pro-life and has said he wants to appoint judges who will restrict abortion rights, whereas Barack Obama is pro-choice.


Well, not really.

Democratic presidential candidate Barack Obama says "mental distress" should not qualify as a justification for late-term abortions, a key distinction not embraced by many supporters of abortion rights.

ADVERTISEMENT

In an interview this week with "Relevant," a Christian magazine, Obama said prohibitions on late-term abortions must contain "a strict, well defined exception for the health of the mother."

Obama then added: "Now, I don't think that 'mental distress' qualifies as the health of the mother. I think it has to be a serious physical issue that arises in pregnancy, where there are real, significant problems to the mother carrying that child to term."
