53 percent believe the inaugural will be more interesting than the Super Bowl; only 40 percent said the Super Bowl will be more interesting.

As you might expect, the party differential was significant: 71 percent of Democrats and 55 percent of independents were more interested in the inaugural, compared to just 35 percent of Republicans.

I guess the GOP really does love its football.

Personally, I’d have to hold off on my answer until I see whether the Steelers beat the Ravens Sunday.

Well, the beer truck didn’t want to turn over this a.m. and I had to get a battery jump to just get started on my rounds. It’s colder than a librul’s heart toward My President.

I’ll be watching the Super Bowl but I sure won’t be watching this Obama get swore in. I’ll even turn my back if I see it on TV someplace.

The libruls already got started on raising taxes. I see the House passed a bill to raise the tax on a pack of cigarettes by a buck to pay for the doctoring of somebody else’s kids. They’ll be going after my Skoal and Redman next. Be sure to stock up on toilet paper because it will be next to get taxed. It’ll be a half sheet for you each time.

This Obama is real bad news. He wants to borrow a whole bunch of money to pay for a bunch of boondoggles to get the economy started. I guess that means if I get in trouble with my money I should just borrow to the hilt to get out of it.

Anyhow, it’s the Super Bowl for me hands-down. I’ll probly be wearing black next Tuesday to mourn the loss of my money that’s sure to come. Don’t say I didn’t warn you about Obama. We’ll never get Trickle Down with him and he won’t even send our troops to fight. Have a good day everybody. It’s all Clinton’s fault. If he had of left that intern alone we would be fine right now. God is punishing us for that.

On one level, I’m with Jay—while I have a pretty good idea of how the Inauguration is going to turn out, the SB has the potential (as we saw last year) to be a nail-biter.

But obviously every peaceful transfer of power from one Administration to another should be celebrated, whichever side of the aisle you call your political home.

By the way Jay, I don’t know if you realized this but one of your favoritist human beings on the planet, John Linder (he of the co-author-credit with Neal Boortz for those Fairy Tale Tax scam books) is apparently spearheading the GOP opposition to insuring America’s children.

“What a douchebag”, you say.

I am not certain that anyone, let alone Rep. Linder, “is …. spearheading the GOP opposition to insuring America’s children.”

There are valid issues within the legislation that should be opposed. I’ll provide one for you to consider. With eligibility at 3x the poverty level that means that families with more than $60,000 in income, certified middle class by PEOTUS, will be eligible. So there would likely be many middle class families WHO ARE CURRENTLY INSURED that would drop the insurance that they pay for to take the free insurance from the government dole.

DB, is it a good idea for government to incur addition costs to provide free insurance to middle class families or is it the beginning of the creep to socialized medicine? Please let me know.

On one level, I’m with Jay—while I have a pretty good idea of how the Inauguration is going to turn out, the SB has the potential (as we saw last year) to be a nail-biter.

Besides, it looks like the more things “change” the more they’ll stay the same.

Which is why Obama is consciously creating a gulf between what he now dismissively calls “campaign rhetoric” and the policy choices he must make as president. Accordingly, Newsweek — Obama acolyte and scourge of everything Bush/Cheney — has on the eve of the Democratic restoration miraculously discovered the arguments for warrantless wiretaps, enhanced interrogation and detention without trial. Indeed, Newsweek’s neck-snapping cover declares, “Why Obama May Soon Find Virtue in Cheney’s Vision of Power.”

{{{{{Which I suspect is why Bush showed such equanimity during a private farewell interview at the White House a few weeks ago. He leaves behind the sinews of war, for the creation of which he has been so vilified but which will serve his successor — and his country — well over the coming years. The very continuation by Democrats of Bush’s policies will be grudging, if silent, acknowledgment of how much he got right.}}}}}

Just a note -don’t need a response - was it you the other day asking for an example of “liberal media”? Lots of criticism from the Right about the inauguration cost. Zero from the Left. Few years back the wire services were critical of Pres Bush’s inauguration costs. Rather than calling it “liberal media” I’d be more inclined to say “liberal columnists/writers/reporters” but I know you don’t care for that Uriah Heep nuance stuff, so, okay, I’ll just stick with “the liberal media.”

BOSCH

Did you see the Ten Things You Need to Know last night? Repeats today. My dvr cut the last two minutes. So, okay, we still have Hera. And I was thinking about Tyrol’s baby and wife getting sucked out the airlock but the recap showed Tory snatched her before she pushed the button. So I wonder if the kids are red herrings. Or maybe they want us to think they’re red herrings, so the red herring’s a red herring? (that as all so the BSG critics would stop reading).

And the part where the writer said they landed at what they thought was earth. That could be part of the reborn cycle - then when the Cylons said ‘for life to have meaning, it must have an end.” So the humans destroyed themselves thousands of years earlier on earth, but part of them made their way to the ‘new’ Earth, which is ours? Remember, the prophesy said the leader would never see Earth, yet Roslin was on the destroyed planet. So it’s not the “earth” they’re looking for - so why was Kara led there?

Aaaannnd,the most revealing part - where the writers said early on they’d retire to a bar and the plot lines didn’t develop until they’d had a lot to drink? Okay, that explains a lot.

“DB Gwinnettian, your first post is celebrating the peaceful transition of power, then you follow up with a rude comment about Bush/Cheney?”

Of course. It’s what freedom of speech is all about. It’s my duty as a patriotic American to say rude things about a scummy outgoing Administration. What’s your problem with that? What are you, some kind of Stalinist?

Wyld, I’ll apologize upfront for saying Linder was simply a “douchebag.” I should’ve called him a “lying douchebag,” since his opposition to SCHIP is and always has been based on phony issues.

Before it was his obsession with an imaginary “$82,000 limit” he constantly threw out there & harped about (without ever mentioning that such ceilings would’ve been dependent upon the Bush Admin. ok-ing it, which of course was extremely unlikely to happen). Now he’s focusing the opposition by feeding the flames of anti-immigrant stupidity.

But let’s get to the meat of your questions:

“There are valid issues within the legislation that should be opposed. I’ll provide one for you to consider. With eligibility at 3x the poverty level that means that families with more than $60,000 in income, certified middle class by PEOTUS, will be eligible. So there would likely be many middle class families WHO ARE CURRENTLY INSURED”

what’s that? I can’t hear you…

“that would drop the insurance that they pay for to take the free insurance from the government dole.”

You don’t understand how it works—people do pay for SCHIP sponsored insurance, actually. Ask the middle income families whose kids are on Peachcare. (Mine isn’t, but I know someone whose kid is.) They’re not getting it for “free.” It is, however, a better deal than private insurance. And if such programs run private insurers out of business, that’d be fine with me. Let these blood-sucking vermin—er, I mean, highly paid professionals! yeah! let them go do something productive with their lives.

“DB, is it a good idea for government to incur addition costs to provide free insurance to middle class families or is it the beginning of the creep to socialized medicine? Please let me know.”

Your use of “socialized medicine” here is a non-starter. Not that I necessarily have an issue with such a thing, but nobody that I know of prominence is proposing socialized medicine; there’d still be a largely private medical practice provider base with a nationalized, single-payer system.

The only thing being “socialized” would be the medical insurance itself. And since we already provide such a thing to many Americans I think we’re well past due to simply expanding its coverage to all citizens who wish to participate, and fund it publicly. Every study I’ve seen (and every chat I’ve ever had with actual experts in the field, including a close relative who is a high-level consultant for an accounting firm that specializes in healthcare facilities management) indicates it would be a far more efficient and effective means to provide access to healthcare to all than what we have now.

In eight years, with six of them having his own party in control of Congress, that is his solitary shining achievement?

I’d just watched a couple clips of Coulter who said why she kept referring to Barak Obama as Hussein Obama. I wondered if your reference was in that vein. Nothing to do with Osama.

Regarding his stance (current one) on Osama: possibly the groundwork to pull back from his “into Pakistan” primary remarks? Actually, the current “keep him holed up” has a lot to recommend it. Now if he’d just show the same flexibility with Afghanistan instead of expanding on the Bush Administration program of massive increases.

This gets back to what I’ve written to all those who were so critical of Bush not doing anything for a whole eight months about ‘warnings’ when he took office. He had the same bureaucracy - at State, at Defense, at CIA. Sure, the guy at the top sets the priorities, but hey, if Bush would’ve come in and said “you guys have been sitting on your thumbs - I just heard from a guy who gave me a paper that says OBL hates us and wants to attack us and you guys have been doing zilch for eight years? Increase the threat level and give me a plan to get him!”

Technically, you are correct, the insurance is not totally “free”, but it is effectively free when compared to the fully loaded cost of private insurance.

Next, I did not write that this legislation would socialize medicine, rather I wrote that the inclusion of a significant portion of the middle class was a creep, or, put another way, step toward socialized medicine.

Lets set your dislike of Linder and the gorilla dust you have thrown aside for one moment to return to my question. Isn’t whether or not (and if so, how much) to subsidize health insurance for the wide swath of the middle class something that should be included in the debate?

Nope, don’t care much if his middle name is Sally. Parents give their kids all kinds of names. Doesn’t have much to do with who they are.

I’ve just seen this emphasis on his middle name, particularly when used alone, without his first name, as a method to cast doubt on who he ‘really’ is. Pointing out the wonderful irony that Pres Bush went to war to depose a dictator with the same last name as the Pres-elect’s middle name is one thing. Constant reference to him by his middle name strikes me as rather disrespectful.

Pres Bush is sometimes referred to as George W. Bush, occasionally “W” to differentiate from his father, George Herbert Walker Bush. But if his father didn’t have the same (George) name, and if he wasn’t a former president, I really can’t imagine many people writing “Walker Bush.”

Your last point was pretty much the point I was trying to make. We had, from the administration and federal bureaucracy, a rather consistent mindset and method of dealing with the ‘threat’ for a number of years, including the ‘criminal prosecution’ vs ‘war’ differentiation. That did not change when (can I say it?) Walker Bush took office. What Walker did change after 9-11 was the mindset and actions from ‘criminal’ to ‘war.’

Mrs. G @ 9:36

I think you have Paul and I confused, and considering we are both in high BSG mode, I can see where that would be possible. The only thing I mentioned about the media this morning is how the SB commercials have sucked the past couple years.

Paul,

You’ve obviously pondered the Earth thing more than I have - but one thing that I’ve always wondered is that when they reach Earth - what year will it be.

But I’d never thought about two “Earths” but that would make sense - considering the Capricans or whatever they are called went from Kobol to Caprica - same thing could have happened with the Earths.

When I first started watching the show, it had many more religious references playing a bigger role. I used to think that Baltar and Six would be Adam and Eve, then I went on to thinking that Baltar would be Jesus Christ - definitely see that now - but it’s way too obvious.

I really hope they do something with all that religious crap they’ve thrown at us. I’ll be way disappointed otherwise. You told me the producer/writer/somebody was a Mormon? No? So I can’t help but think he won’t disappoint. HEY, MAYBE, Baltar will be the Jesus that came over to North America while he was dead, or was that sometime during the 40 days before he flew back up into heaven - I get that confused.

AAANNNNDDD, about Chief’s son - did you even watch that episode? Callie realized that she was about to be space goo, and handed the kid over to Torry - which when I saw it, I thought “OH NOOOOOOOO” - if that’d been me - I’d be like, “Yeah, you want this half Cylon kid, you’ll be prying him out of my dead cold fingers.” Of course you’re gonna get sucked out the airlock if you hand over the kid willingly. Duh.

GOP is gone,

The World Cup is SOOOOOOOO much more exciting than the Super Bowl. It’s a two week drunk fest football celebration. It’s like the freaking Olympics. But, sigh, we have a little less than two years to wait until the next - in South Africa.

And, at the end of each game, the players yank off their shirts and exchange them with the other team players. In our football, you’d never see that because I’ll bet it takes an hour just to take all that crappy padding off.

Copyleft, I was not trying to use a scare tactic in using Obamas middle name. I’ve been calling him Hussien Obama for quite some time. I’ve lived in Chicago for 2 years and I’ve heard his own supporters call him that. I just think there is some irony in all of this. “We just got rid of one Hussein and put one in the White House” is what Ann Coulter said. It is ironic don’t ya think?

Paul, Some good points. I just find it interesting of all the talk about people wanting him to succeed. It’s interesting because the democrats wanted Bush to fail and now they insist that we all work together so that Obama succeeds. I want the country to succeed no matter what but after 8 years of hatred from liberal democrats I can’t just “jump on the Obama bandwagon.” I’m always skeptical of politicians. I don’t trust them and I don’t put my faith in them.

When did Obama (Oh my God, I almost typed Osama) say that catching OBL wasn’t a priority?

Just wondering.

Did he say something the other day when that tape came out? All the pundits were saying how OBL was a diminishing player in the terrorism game, I don’t think that’s the case, but I guess hiding in a cave for seven years will give some that message. But I seriously don’t think for a second he’s been hiding in a cave. I think that cave is a movie prop he brings out for videos.

Bosch, I played soccer, or as you would call it futbol, most of my life. I also played baseball and football. I’d actually take the Braves in the World Series over any Superbowl or World Cup any day. I remember the 91 season and how that team brought Atlanta to life like never before. A bunch of players the country had never heard of and how they came from last place to do it. Two worst to first teams battling it out is fun. Especially when it’s a team you followed as a kid while everyone made fun of them. The Dale Murphy days. I’ve never actually watched an inauguration before. It’s boring and I don’t like to see politicians gloating like they’ve just cured cancer themselves. Yes, it’s a great thing that America has put a half-white half-black man in office. Wonderful but it still doesn’t get me as excited as the 91 Braves.

Yeah, I saw that episode and the recap. I’ll have to watch again to see when Tory began moving towards Callie.

The creator and producer of the original Battlestar was LDS and wove several of the themes in. The whole Diaspora thing (not exclusively LDS), the ruling council was the Council of the 12 Apostles (not exclusively LDS - Jesus’s top guys). but also stuff like Patrick McNee as the evil dude who appears, gets followers and says to Adama “I have no power over them other than what they grant me” and the advanced, good beings (who’ve gotten where they are by adherence to certain principles) saying to Apollo “As you now are, we once were. As we are, you may become.”

But new writers, a new generation, a different direction. But I do hope they tie up some loose ends.

Out for a while.

BTW- that jersey thing - it’s men’s soccer, right?

And since it’s Friday, and sports, here’s another one for you. Please, try to keep your eye on the ball…

Wait, while I wipe a tear away for that one. Sigh.

And the 2006 World Cup final? Oh yes, much more exciting. Zidane getting kicked out and that idiot Materazzi. I really hate it when games come down to penalty kicks. That’s just so intense, but oh so exciting.

Anyway, yes sports is much more exciting than politics. I’ll give you that.

I’ll also give you that Obama is skipping some things around, but I take that as not so horrible. It’s kind of like reality sinking in and he’s making adjustments. Or, he’s just a stinking politician and he’ll be just like the others, and then, sigh, we’ll vote the guy out in 2012 - that is unless Palin runs.

Sorry, Wild Bill, I guess you needed further explanation and I left you hanging.

Yes, Bush invented a new category of enemy combatants. He gave it the same name as the legitimate category in the IHL, but met none of its conditions. It’s a subterfuge. And the courts called him on it, quite rightly.

There IS no category of prisoners or detainees that’s beyond the jurisdiction of our laws, despite Bush’s best efforts to invent one and give it the same name as a legitimiate category (just without the same rights). So his invention—his lie, in other words—failed.

Personally, I think MST3K lost a lot when Dr. Forrestor left (“hello, boobies”). One of my favorite ones was the one in which he invented a checkbook for those large checks they give out at golf tournaments. When they showed it, one was missing - TV’s Frank had taken it.

“Nearly 50 years ago, another Republican president said farewell to the nation with a warning about the growing strength of the ties between the military and corporations. Eisenhower said:

Now this conjunction of an immense military establishment and a large arms industry is new in the American experience. The total influence — economic, political, even spiritual — is felt in every city, every Statehouse, every office of the Federal government. We recognize the imperative need for this development. Yet, we must not fail to comprehend its grave implications. Our toil, resources, and livelihood are all involved. So is the very structure of our society.

In the councils of government, we must guard against the acquisition of unwarranted influence, whether sought or unsought, by the military-industrial complex. The potential for the disastrous rise of misplaced power exists and will persist. We must never let the weight of this combination endanger our liberties or democratic processes. We should take nothing for granted. Only an alert and knowledgeable citizenry can compel the proper meshing of the huge industrial and military machinery of defense with our peaceful methods and goals, so that security and liberty may prosper together.”

We are experimenting with making our own. We slow roast a huge sirloin or bottom round, with onions and peppers. Cheat a little on the au jus with bullion. Our meat slicer doesn’t get the beef quite thin enough, but if I buy the meat from my local butcher, I bring it back chilled after I roast it and he slices it real thin for me. On a hunk of fresh Publix Cuban bread or one of their baguettes it’s pretty damn close.
