America's Mayor !!!

Salt Lake sounds off in protest and support: "A crowd of thousands cheered Salt Lake City Mayor Rocky Anderson for calling President Bush a 'dishonest, war-mongering, human-rights violating president' whose time in office would 'rank as the worst presidency our nation has ever had to endure.'
The group - including children and elderly and some hailing from throughout Utah - then marched to the federal building Wednesday to deliver a copy of a symbolic indictment against the president and Congress for abuse of power and failure to uphold the U.S. Constitution"

Smells like American spirit.

Sicko Senator Burns Cooks Another Shit-Burger

Republicans Explain Their Wisdom this way: " Republican Sen. Conrad Burns (news, bio, voting record), whose recent comments have stirred controversy, says the United States is up against a faceless enemy of terrorists who 'drive taxi cabs in the daytime and kill at night.' "...

..."Burns, 71, also had to apologize after confronting members of a firefighting team at the Billings airport and telling them they had done a 'piss-poor job,' according to a state report. In July, the Hotshot crew had traveled 2,000 miles from Staunton, Va., to help dig fire lines for about a week around a 143-square-mile wildfire east of Billings."

My plan would be to hit Senator Burns of Montana over the head with Senator Stevens of Alaska

George Allen's White Robe

George Allen Cannot Be Allowed To Be President: "After speaking with CCC founder and former White Citizens Council organizer Gordon Lee Baum and two of his cohorts, Allen suggested that they pose for a photograph with then-National Rifle Association spokesman and actor Charlton Heston. The photo appeared in the Summer 1996 issue of the CCC's newsletter, the Citizens Informer."...


..."'We also oppose all efforts to mix the races of mankind, to promote non-white races over the European-American people through so-called 'affirmative action' and similar measures, to destroy or denigrate the European-American heritage, including the heritage of the Southern people, and to force the integration of the races.'"...

..."Former Reagan speechwriter and conservative pundit Peggy Noonan pithily declared that anyone involved with the CCC 'does not deserve to be in a leadership position in America.' "

When an ass starts to hate its own shit, then the righties have got a real problem.

Criminals In High Positions

State Department Mad About Bush Official: "State Department investigators have concluded that Kenneth Y. Tomlinson, the head of the federal agency that oversees most government broadcasts to foreign countries, improperly hired a friend on the public payroll for nearly $250,000 over two and a half years, according to a summary of their report made public this afternoon by Democratic Congressional staff members.

They also said that Mr. Tomlinson, whose job puts him in charge of the Voice of America and Radio Free Europe, used his government office for personal business, including running a 'horse racing operation' in which he supervised a stable of thoroughbreds he named after leaders from Afghanistan, including President Hamid Karzai and the late Ahmed Shah Massoud, that have raced at tracks across the United States. They also said that Mr. Tomlinson repeatedly used government employees to do his personal errands and that he billed the government for more days of work than the rules permit."

We Killed The Planet

Kurt Vonnegut Says This Is the End of the World: "'There is nothing they can do,' he bleakly answered. 'It's over, my friend. The game is lost.'"

Kurt is a tad pessimistic about our ability to change and avoid destroying the earth.

Democrats Last Offramp Before Total Demise

"If we can't win in this environment, we have to question the whole premise of the party.''
More telling is that the smartest Republican political minds agree. "The issue matrix and political dynamics are not good for us,'' says Representative Tom Davis, a Virginia Republican. ``Only some big national or international event before the election can change that.''

Like Cheney, McCain Slithers Like A Fake Swami

"I gave cover for George 'Weak Stream' Bush while he put America in a hole, and now I want your sons and daughters to dig it deeper", says former bomber, neo-bloviator, pretty-boy heiress-toy: "'Stuff happens, mission accomplished, last throes, a few dead-enders. I'm just more familiar with those statements than anyone else because it grieves me so much that we had not told the American people how tough and difficult this task would be.'"

McCain now says that he knew all that was bogus from the start. If so then he was a major enabler of sending troops into a known deathtrap all the while smiling his lie that we would be greeted with warm smiles in a grateful crowd.

"In a March 2003 interview on MSNBC's 'Hardball' With Chris Matthews, McCain was asked whether he believed the people of Iraq would treat U.S. forces as liberators.

'Absolutely. Absolutely,' the senator replied."

And even now he wants to send yet more troops.

Like Cheney, McCain's voice calms the moral center of righties everywhere with a hypocracy that blooms like a hemorrhoid.

Punch a Puritan or Slap a Fundamentalist - your choice

The Sad Legacy of Bad Science and Bad Religion: "It's moral to keep your word, and Bush took the oath of office to defend and protect the Constitution. When he turned his back on that oath and rode roughshod over the division between religion and government, he spoiled a lot more than the freedom of scientists to conduct basic research on stem cells. He spoiled the climate of tolerance that is supposed to be the greatest strength of the American republic. He handed power over to a very narrow conception of God as a sop to an intolerant slice of the American electorate."

The Insidious Threat From The Banal

Little George and his Manly Men: "'Folks,' like 'bad guys,' is above all a homey locution. It says that all you really need to know in this world is what you grow up knowing in the heartland. No need for fancy book-learning from pointy-headed intellectuals..."

...and yet more...

" 'Folks' says to the American people: don't bother with details, everything is as obvious as I say it is. And "bad guys" says to the American people: don't worry, we will do what it takes.

We are the good guys--and the tough guys. Go back to sleep.

Well--it took a while, an inexcusably long while--but a lot of those American folks seem finally to be waking up. And Little George and his Manly Men posture on."


'Enough is enough' - the phrase loved by crackers and righties everywhere and one of my all-time favorite disgusting celebrations of ignorance and self-assured pride.

'W' Stands For Weak Stream

Our Criminal President: "'The Court's decision further suggests that President Bush has already committed a war crime, simply by establishing the military tribunals [at Guant'namo] and subjecting detainees to them [because] the Court found that the tribunals violate Common Article 3 [of the Geneva Conventions]'and under the War Crimes Act, any violation of Common Article 3 is a war crime.'

What the Supreme Court said about those sham tribunals, which ignored American military law as well as the Geneva Conventions, was that according to the Geneva Conventions, prisoners' sentences must be handed down 'by a regularly constituted court' that 'provides all the judicial guarantees recognized as indispensable by civilized peoples.' "

Illegal Immigration Easy To Stop

It's all so simple, right?: "For the church, the migrant's plight is a universal one tracing back to the Holy Family. Pope Pius XII, in 1952, declared the Holy Family of Jesus, Mary and Joseph to be the archetype of every refugee family. He based this on their flight into Egypt, calling them 'the models and protectors of every migrant, alien and refugee of whatever kind who, whether compelled by fear of persecution or by want, is forced to leave his native land, his beloved parents and relatives, his close friends, and to seek a foreign soil.'
The church has emphasized the duty of Christians to 'welcome the stranger,' citing the commandment in the book of Leviticus that 'you shall treat the stranger no differently than the natives born among you.' The church also points to Jesus' description of the final judgment, when those who welcomed him in the form of a stranger inherit the kingdom of heaven."

But as an American, your first job is to kill the alien before it spends your tax money.

Thanks, I'll wait for the next one...

God isn't dead, he just smells sort of funny: "More people believe in belief itself than believe in God."

Who Owns The "Mental Installation"

A Growing Unease in Hollywood: "'When you hear what people are afraid of, it's that movies are not special anymore,' said Terry Press, who runs worldwide marketing at DreamWorks Animation.

'It's the single issue no one wants to think about or say out loud.' "

In Nashville, Sounds of Political Uprising From the Left

But 'Clear Channel' operates the country radio dial like a sock puppet and it ain't letting go of the gilded balls of the "Reich 'n Roll Boys" or the mighty butts of "Miss Rightie and the Cunt Tree Gals": "Asked whether his recent song 'Thou Shalt Not Kill' would have airplay, Mr. Braddock said, 'Oh, never.'

'Something political will not get played on country radio unless it's on the conservative side,' he added. 'If you show both sides, it's not good enough. It's got to be just on the right.'"

It's so Dick, it's Dixie !!

IT WAS A RARE SIDE-EFFECT OF 'BUFFERIN' !!

Republican Lawmaker schmears sorrow on Marines for his "Traitor Murtha" gaffe ! : "A Republican congressman apologized yesterday to the Marines under investigation in the killings of two dozen civilians in Haditha, Iraq, last November, saying that statements he made about the case were taken out of context and that he did not mean to imply the Marines were guilty of wrongdoing.
Rep. John Kline (R-Minn.) issued the apology as part of an agreement with lawyers for Marine Staff Sgt. Frank D. Wuterich, who alleged that Kline had damaged Wuterich's reputation."

" He swept off my feet ! ! ", sighs breathless, female-looking journalist

BROOM AND GLOOM FOR A BAD 'BOY GEORGE': "I don't feel anything,' an angry George snapped at someone who asked how he felt.
'I think you're really pathetic!'
An onlooker reminded George that he was the one carrying the broom.
He shot back: 'You're the one following me cleaning! Who needs to get a f- - -ing life? F- - - off!'
I managed to ask George if this exercise in humiliation was likely to rehabilitate him. And a funny thing happened.
The storm clouds parted, the mood lightened - and George seemed to realize he'd drawn his biggest audience in years.
He flashed me a depraved grin and moved in to confide, with a devilish flourish:
'Nothing's gonna rehabilitate me!
'I'll be the same tomorrow and the same next week!'
Then he actually swept my feet with his broom.
'I've swept your feet.'

Atta Boy."

"Democrats are traitors and should be impaled !" says raving scumbag

Politicizing Terrorism: "Some Republicans suggested that Democratic rule could endanger the country.

'National Democrats are stone-cold guilty of engaging in a reckless and irresponsible pattern of neglect for the security of our citizens,' said Rep. Tom Reynolds, R-N.Y., the chairman of the House Republicans' campaign committee.

Democrats sought to put Republicans on the defensive on what historically has been a GOP strength _ national security. The heated rhetoric came a day after the disclosure of a thwarted plot to blow up flights from Britain to the United States. Within hours of that news, each party accused the other of doing too little to deter the threat of attack.

...then...

In a written statement, Reynolds said Democrats were sounding a 'defeatist, surrender message' and catering to the party's liberal base 'that prefers a flag that is lily-white to a flag that is red, white, and blue.' "

...but before all that, somebody coughed up this putz...

"Michael Schwartz, the chief of staff of Oklahoma's GOP Senator Tom Coburn, was quoted by a reporter just outside the conference as saying 'I'm a radical! I'm a real extremist. I don't want to impeach judges. I want to impale them!'"

...so I guess we all need a new M90 to keep these folks in check

Cheney Represents the new America

Cheney is a frightened, satiated slob: "At a time when the real enemies in the war on terror have reared their murderous heads again, to hear Dick Cheney and company using illogical, over-the-top, fear-mongering rhetoric conflating Ned Lamont's victory with the war on terror is as deeply offensive as it is jaw-droppingly outrageous. "

Has this man ever been right about anything other than how to profit at government's expense ? No.

Why Lamont's victory spells Democratic disaster

Why Is This Guy Saying These Things and Spoiling The Party?: "Just about everyone now agrees that the sooner we find a way to withdraw, the better for us and for the Iraqis. The problem for the Democrats is that the anti-Lieberman insurgents go far beyond simply opposing Bush's faulty rationale for the war, his dishonest argumentation for it, and his incompetent execution of it. Many of them appear not to take the wider, global battle against Islamic fanaticism seriously. They see Iraq purely as a symptom of a cynical and politicized right-wing response to Sept. 11, as opposed to a tragic misstep in a bigger conflict. Substantively, this view indicates a fundamental misapprehension of the problem of terrorism. Politically, it points the way to perpetual Democratic defeat."

How absolutely provocative and depressing. If one follows his logic, the 2008 election is a chess game, and we're fucked.

Republican Tears Apart Republican

And this is the A team !: "Kathleen Troia 'KT' McFarland, a former Ronald Reagan-era Pentagon official, immediately accused Spencer of engaging in adultery and nepotism and said it spoke to his lack of credibility to serve in office.

"While married to another woman, Spencer fathered two children with his then-chief of staff and substantially raised her salary. He eventually divorced his first wife and married his chief of staff...

...'That's something that, in 1998, the Republican Party impeached President Clinton for exactly the same behavior,' McFarland said to gasps from the audience.

'If you'd been in the military, you would have been court-martialed. If you worked in the federal government, you would have been subject to indictment.'"

Of course, as someone might have pointed out, the first wife was 'sorta liberal and stuff' and didn't have really nice legs like Condi.

The Great Saxon Penis

Some woman evidentally shat out this turd - and raised it to bloviate: "Hang on, Dems. Here come the Pol Pots of your party. And if you were for national security, you are now emphatically not. Or else.

Remember the mountain of skulls in Cambodia? It's the Democrats new reality now that the anti-war rabble has tasted blood by taking Lieberman down."

The Gibsons are having a great month. First they get Mel to rail against jews, then they get uncle John to speak out his ass. This is the family all Republicans can admire.

Dick Cheney is a public nuisance and should be pulled off the street

Al Qaeda's Predictable Return to the Stage: You Can Thank Dick Cheney: "As Dick Cheney, Ken Mehlman, and the Republican noise machine start to lash out at the al Qaeda sympathizers who voted for Ned Lamont, all the people standing in horrendous airport lines today and tossing their shampoo bottles away should remember that they owe their frustration--and their fear--to Cheney and his gang."

Destroy Al-Qaeda, not hapless Iraq

Wesley Clark's got the conch, and he's right: "'Despite what Joe Lieberman believes, invading Iraq and diverting our attention away from Al-Qaeda and Osama bin Laden is not being strong on national security,' said Clark, a former Democratic presidential contender."

Google Head Muses On Fucking Users

"Schmidt said he is less concerned about those possibilities than the governments of countries around the world demanding to review people's search requests. 'I have always worried the query stream is a fertile ground for governments to snoop on the people.'"

Gee, I guess that might be real bad. Hope somebody will help Schmidt stop being a missing-in-action corporate leader.

Pepsi & Coke Are the Same

Report Says Sugary Drinks Pile on Pounds - Coke says "you lie !!!!": "'Could you imagine somebody saying we should ignore the contribution of hypertension to heart attack because there are many causes? It's ludicrous. Yet this argument resurfaces with regard to obesity,' Ludwig said.
When it comes to beverage trends and obesity, 'it's like documenting the force of gravity,' he said. 'There's an overwhelmingly strong case to be made for a causal relationship.' "

Come here little girl. Tell your mommy that you really really really NEED a 7-Up.

Republican's Edible Shit Theory

Righties Are Proud Of Their Ignorance : "Personally, I don't know what all the shouting is about. Global warming is great. Granted, maybe it isn't really happening, and if it is there are strong reasons to doubt that humans have anything to do with it. But if the world is warming, I say 'bravo.'"

Scared shitless republicans truly enjoy their big, huge wear-your-fear-on-your-sleeve tactic. They think we don't notice.

The Long Awaited Return of the Hidden Imam

August 22nd is the Date of the "End of the World", say mid-east schmucks: "'In Islam as in Judaism and Christianity, there are certain beliefs concerning the cosmic struggle at the end of time -- Gog and Magog, anti-Christ, Armageddon, and for Shiite Muslims, the long awaited return of the Hidden Imam, ending in the final victory of the forces of good over evil, however these may be defined.' "

How does Earth survive with these idiots on board?

Yo' Democracy

Justice Kennedy: "the rule of law has three parts: it must be binding on all government officials, it must respect the dignity, equality and human rights of every person, and it must guarantee people the right to enforce the law without fear of retaliation."

Supreme Court Justice Kennedy says that the jury is still out in much of the world when it comes to the promises of democracy. Whether we like it or not, folks look at America and see many problems, some big-time lies, and a lot of malarky.

But as someone once said, "if you remove the malarky from the world, there's really not a lot left to do business with."

WTC Hurts Bad

Many New Yorkers having a tough time with Oliver Stone's new film: "I have patients who, at the anniversary of the terrible event, every September, they leave New York City"

...and...

Hugh Dillon, a lawyer, came out to watch stars like Nicolas Cage attend the premier showing -- but there is no question of him actually watching the movie itself. "No, it's too sensitive. I'm very familiar with the story, and I'd be crying for the whole two hours," he said.

Ken Doll Politics Guts Waitress-Americans

Lets All Be High-Income Republicans: "'Everything that has been achieved in seven states to support low-wage workers who earn tips is destroyed by this bill,' said Sen. Dianne Feinstein, D-Calif. 'This bill would slash the salaries of thousands of workers.'"

Rightie politics is like a flesh-eating disease in the middle-class.

Freedom Fries Righties, Scorches Bush

The French knew we were wrong, but Republican Americans super-sized their ignorance and blundered ahead anyway: "Neither Reps. Bob Ney of Ohio nor Walter B. Jones of North Carolina, the authors of the culinary rebuke, were willing this week to say who led the retreat, as it were, from the frying pan. But retreat there has been, as a casual observer can see for himself in the House's basement cafeterias."

Road Warrior

The Righties Are So Horrible That Any One Of Them Falling Is A Good Thing: "Pull the plug on the monster. Denounce him. Ignoring is for bratty children; condemnation is for powerful people who are dangerously stupid! "

...and...

"Actually I don't even think it's his view - I think it's the view of his uber-Catholic religion. So if you want to take on someone, why not go after the Pope? Little tougher, huh? A lot easier to jump on an admitted alcoholic who just got busted in a very public way in a very public arena. We're all having fun now.

Give the guy a break."
