Before I go hit up the clubs: 37% popularity for Shrubby?? To paraphrase a great Futurama line “I’ve seen plagues that have had higher approval rating that this”. The only person lower than that at this stage in the past few decades: Nixon. We all know how that turned out. And we can hope, so will this.

RW,
Should anyone have second thoughts about going to your blog and viewing that wonderful Czech work of art, I’ve taken the liberty of pasting this edited description from the link so cruelly censored by the AJC:
The idea is disarmingly simple. Two bronze sculptures p— into their oddly-shaped enclosure.
While they are p&ing, the two figures move realistically. An electric mechanism driven by a couple of microproccesors swivels the upper part of the body, while the p— goes up and down. The stream of water writes quotes from famous Prague residents.
Visitor can interupt them by sending SMS message from mobile phone to a number, displayed next to the sculptures. The living statue then ‘writes’ the text of the message, before carrying on as before.
This is truly a mad work of genius! RW, where did you ever find it?

Was a person who was pushing for the truth to be told to the American people doing the best for the national security of the US? Yes! The truth is always in the best interest. The truth about no WMDs, no 9/11 connections, the millions of dollars of taxpayers money that cannot be accounted for, torture, prison camps being built in old Soviet prisons, outing members of US government and defense for political purposes- all of that. Yes, the truth is important, and I thank Wilson for trying to tell it. Now if only Bush, Cheney, Rice, Rove, Libby and all our crooked members of the white house would start telling the truth. For a family values crowd, they lie like dunken sailors, which is how the y spend our money, as well.

You libs are goofy. The NY Times leaked in a column on their oped page a column from a supposed undercover operative disclosing the lie that Iraq wasn’t seeking uranium from Niger. Who gave Joe Wilson clearance to talk about his mission? What was his “purpose?” Why did he file a report with the CIA that supported the fact that Iraq was after the uranium? When did the NY Times become part of the State Department?
When Bush releases information, has he had to do to counter the back stabbing traitorous actions of Wilson and the Times, it’s no longer classified. It is well within his authority to unclassify intelligence to make it serve what ever purpose he deems necessary.
He was acting for the good of the United States which is the real reason you libs are on your silly witch hunt.

I know you hate being confused by facts, Suck… but the facts are,
Iraq wasn’t seeking uranium from Niger. Even the White House admits that.
Joe Wilson never agreed to any confidentiality re: his Niger trip. That’s why he’s never been prosecuted.
Wilson’s no saint. Plame may or may not have been undercover. Bush probably didn’t break any laws with alleged “leaks”, although his conduits (Rove, Cheney) could be looking at perjury and obstruction of justice charges. Kind of like Scooter.
But Bush’s pattern of deception regarding the cherry-picking of so-called intelligence before and after the Iraq invasion puts his credibility into the toilet.
Which is why most Americans don’t trust him anymore and think the Iraq war was a big mistake. They also think Bush was an idiot for abandoning the search for OBL.

If Bush thinks that disclosing his thing on national TV will help the war on terror, just give me a little warning before he pulls it out.
If I want an expert opinion on how to conduct a crying jag because all of the democrats have been kicked out of government, by all means, I yield to the vast knowledge of the New York Times.

Huge: You missed Slate’s (PMSNBC) message:
The press corps—and bloggers—will likely compile a yards-long list of occasions when the president has denounced leaking, but it’s worth asking the philosophical question: Can the president even be a leaker? For a leak to be real, it has to be unsanctioned. Once a piece of secret information gets unwrapped (by the president no less), it’s not a leak, it’s part of a communications strategy. It’s national policy. So, maybe he’s not a leaker.

GW Bush - decided that a six-year Nat’l Guard commitment really means four years. Still says that he’s “been to war.”

Senator John McCain - McCain’s naval honors include the Silver Star, Bronze Star, Legion of Merit, Purple Heart and Distinguished Flying Cross. Why did the Bush campaign smear him so? At least Senators Cleland (D-GA), Kerry (D-MA), Kerrey (D-NE), Robb (D-VA) and Hagel (R-NE) defended him.

On Oct. 7, 2002, nine months before Bush’s supposed “leak,” the administration released an unclassified version of the very same NIE at the urging of Senate Democrats. And in early 2003, reporters hostile to the administration (primarily John Judis and Spencer Ackerman of The New Republic) were being told all sorts of things about the still-classified portions of the NIE.
And this “leak” wasn’t a leak in any case. A “leak” is the unauthorized release of government information. The leak of classified information is a crime. But according to Scooter Libby, the former chief of staff to the vice president who gave the information from the NIE to a reporter, he only released it because he was authorized to do so by the president himself.
Constitutionally, the authority to declare documents “classified” resides with the president. So, under the terms of an executive order first drafted in 1982, he can declassify a document merely by declaring it unclassified.

Iraq wasn’t seeking uranium from Niger. Even the White House admits that
finch,
It does? I guess it disagrees with this panel’s findings…
Wilson’s assertions — both about what he found in Niger and what the Bush administration did with the information — were undermined yesterday in a bipartisan Senate intelligence committee report.
The panel found that Wilson’s report, rather than debunking intelligence about purported uranium sales to Iraq, as he has said, bolstered the case for most intelligence analysts.
And are we to believe Wilson about who sent him?
The report states that a CIA official told the Senate committee that Plame “offered up” Wilson’s name for the Niger trip, then on Feb. 12, 2002, sent a memo to a deputy chief in the CIA’s Directorate of Operations saying her husband “has good relations with both the PM [prime minister] and the former Minister of Mines (not to mention lots of French contacts), both of whom could possibly shed light on this sort of activity.” The next day, the operations official cabled an overseas officer seeking concurrence with the idea of sending Wilson, the report said.
Wilson has asserted that his wife was not involved in the decision to send him to Niger.
“Valerie had nothing to do with the matter,” Wilson wrote in a memoir published this year. “She definitely had not proposed that I make the trip.”
You believe Lying Joe Wilson? Puhlease!

Ronald Reagan ended the cold war. John Kerry prevented the North Vietnamese from losing theirs just at the very moment that they were losing, and then turned around and slandered the Americans who fought beside him.
The POWs who were with John McCain are not happy with Senator “Genghis Khan” Kerry. I know - one of them was my neighbor’s father, and he is not in the least bit impressed by Kerry’s military service.
You see, Huge, he got to hear Kerry’s Senate testimony when in the Hanoi Hilton. You can use your imagination as to what that testimony did for those men.

I have always found that the best way to deal with these low-brow attacks is to simply ignore them and move on to intelligent and moral topics
Only personal attacks, lacking in intellect and abounding in extremism. But much, much worse, is the absolute lack of any human feeling other than hatred and violence in these replies.
Many here need healing. I do not pity them
I am not impressed by someone’s intellect or lack thereof. I am mainly interested in the quality of their soul, or lack thereof. Thuggery and emotional terrorism have tried to rule the day here for a long while. It is destined to fail.

So the producers (at PMSNBC) decided to recruit willing Muslims to be filmed at a (Nascar) race (decoys for discimination.) After all, Southern white males are, if anything, bigots who hate everyone else not like them.
The only problem, as several readers who attended the race at Martinsville Speedway, Va., told Mrs. Malkin, is that the Muslims weren’t bothered at all.
NASCAR, however, wasn’t too thrilled with PMSNBC, which has televised races for years, for attempting to entrap their fans. “It’s outrageous that a news organization like PMSNBC would seek to create the news instead of reporting the news,” said a NASCAR spokesman. That’s what happens when producers “report” their own bias.

Well, bust my gut:
The Washington Post featured a story that declared, “Democrats Struggle to Seize Opportunity,” and questioned whether congressional Democrats could regain power without “the hard-charging, charismatic figurehead that Gingrich represented for the House GOP in 1994.” Picking up that theme on Wednesday, Slate’s Jacob Weisberg lambasted Rep. Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.), Harry Reid (D-Nev.), and Howard Dean, calling them “The Three Stooges” and indicting them as “useless and disastrous.” And as if on cue, the Republican National Committee released a web video on Friday titled “Find the Democratic Leader.”
Democrats are lame, feckless, timid, and hopelessly divided, with no ideas, no vision, no message, and no future: You’ll never fall flat at a Washington party by repeating this bit of conventional wisdom because everyone “knows” it to be true. Jon Stewart compares congressional Democrats to the fuzzy-but-not-fearsome Ewoks. The Onion gets an easy laugh from a parody headlined “Democrats Vow Not to Give Up Hopelessness.”

It’s doubtful a significant number of Democrats would agree with Republicans in any event. Democrats are not sufficiently unified. “The only thing that unifies them is they don’t like us,” Cole says. “That’s not enough.” The result: Whatever the Boehner vision turns out to be, the House won’t be able to do much. Pass immigration legislation, extend the tax cuts, and continue to support Bush on Iraq—that’s probably the best case scenario.

This is exactly why the next two and half years are going to be full of suicide pinkos:
The president still believes, as do many others, that the removal of Saddam was necessary, and that Iraq will still emerge as a consensual society. If he leaves office after birthing democracies in lieu of the Taliban and Saddam Hussein, and establishing that the region is free of nuclear weapons, despite the worst Iranian bullying, his presidency, for all the current hysteria, will be seen by history as a remarkable success.
They would accept the end of the United States before they would a successful Bush presidency. And that ain’t no joke.

Saddam is heard on a 1997 tape predicting terrorism would soon be coming to the U.S., while his son-in-law — who was in charge of Saddam’s weapons of mass destruction — gloats about lying to U.N. weapons inspectors to hide the extent of Iraq’s WMD program.
Saddam, in a tape made in 2000, talks with Iraqi scientists about his plans to build a nuclear device (with NO uranium!) He discusses Iraq’s plasma separation program — an advanced uranium-enrichment technique completely missed by U.N. inspectors.
An Iraqi intelligence document describes a February 1995 meeting between Saddam’s spies and Osama bin Laden. During that meeting, bin Laden offered to conduct “joint operations” with Iraq. Saddam subsequently ordered his aides to “develop the relationship” with the al-Qaida leader.
A fax, sent on June 6, 2001, shows conclusively that Saddam’s government provided financial aid to Abu Sayyaf guerrillas in the Philippines. Abu Sayyaf is an al-Qaida offshoot co-founded by bin Laden’s brother-in-law.

It’s getting harder and harder to defend my conservative heroes with the lies, molestation, and other criminal acts that we are obviously responsible for, but using reasoning and analyzing evidence has never been something I’ve worried about. I’d much rather put stock in fairy tales and blindly follow our glorious leaders; it’s easier on my simple mind that way. That’s important, especially considering I’m in the mid-stages of senility.

I did check out the links, Danish. Again, WND is not credible. At all. The fact that you have to use a source which everyone knows is totally and completely unreliable says nothing about Kerry and everything about you. Namely — that you are willing to stoop to any depth to score points. The bottom line is, unlike little Shrubby, whose daddy’s connections saved him from ‘Nam, Kerry actually went there, was actually wounded, and actually saved people’s lives. Of course it’s easiest to “support” wars from the comfort of the LazyBoy, like all the neocons do, but the reality is that ‘Nam was a wrong and horrible war, and history is firmly on the side of those who wanted it to be over. Similarly, this war is wrong and horrible, and history will be firmly on the side of us, who opposed it. In 60 years Bush will be considered one of the worst presidents the U.S. ever had, provided we don’t get any worse ones, of course. What’s fortunate with Iraq is that this war is widely considered to be a “Republican War”, so there is very real hope we’ll at least try to wrap it up once the American people get fed up enough with Grand Corrupt Party and toss it out. ‘Nam had the support of both sides, which is why it dragged on for so long.

Democrats lack of agenda
Mar 7 2006 08:45 AM
Yesterday the NY Times ran a story about the Democratic Party’s directionless woes. Today, the Washington Post chimes in. When two liberal leaning publications like these publish stories on this back to back, you know the Dems have some issues.
From today’s Post:
Democratic leaders had set a goal of issuing their legislative manifesto by November 2005 to give voters a full year to digest their proposals. But some Democrats protested that the release date was too early, so they put it off until January. The new date slipped twice again, and now House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi (Calif.) says the document will be unveiled in “a matter of weeks.”

From the Wall Street Journal, which warns the GOP is paving a path to defeat through incompetence and a leadership vacuum:
On election night in 2004, Democratic campaign consultant James Carville asked: Where did all these Republican voters come from? Unless Republicans set a new legislative course over the next seven months, a deposed House Speaker Denny Hastert may soon be wondering: Where did all the Republican voters go?

OK, Danish, I consider a “reliable source” one that is not tied directly to a political outcome. For instance, a neutral think tank, a major newspaper (AJC, NYT, San Diego UT, what have you), an honest news show. The following do NOT make the cut: O’Reilly, Hannity / Other, World News Daily, Michael Moore, moveon.org. Mind you, I trust the last 2 far more than any of the first ones, but in an honest debate they’re still highly partisan and inadmissible. WND can print whatever the hell it wants, and no one is responsible for it being true. That is not a source. That is a joke.

Leaked data called flimsy!- David E. Sanger!!, David Barstow!!! - New York Times Sunday!!!!, April 9, 2006!!!!!- Published in AJC!!!!!!!
Washington —- When President Bush authorized Vice President Dick Cheney’s chief of staff to reveal previously classified intelligence to a reporter about Saddam Hussein’s efforts to obtain uranium, that information was already being discredited by several senior officials in the administration, interviews conducted during and since that crucial period in June and July of 2003 show.
Even as some officials, including Colin (Several) Powell, then secretary of state, man of many faces, had started to reveal deep doubts that Saddam ever sought uranium to reconstitute his nuclear program
Other administration officials, speaking on a not-for-attribution basis (yeah, like the tooth fairy? Maybe some well placed leakers? Valerie Plame?) in July 2003, were also acknowledging that the intelligence was widely known as seriously flawed.
What does this have to do with the price of rice in China, anyway? I thought we caught Bush LEAKING!! and it was EVIL!! Oh, yeah, it’s not evil if what he leaked was true, so the libs still have to discredit, check this out, Joe Wilson, who’s report verified that Saddam was seeking uranium.

And if you trust John Kerry because he served, why don’t you trust the other soldiers who served with him and don’t support him?
What WND posted were original DOCUMENTS, some from the Vietnam battlefield, some from the FBI. Like the ORIGINAL Iraqi DOCUMENTS that are revealing more and more about Saddam’s ties to terrorism.
The Communist Party USA was paying for Hubbard’s trips to Paris to meet with the NViets and Kerry was in the thick of it. The “Peace Groups” during the Vietnam War are no different from the anti-Iraq War “Peace Groups” which attract useful idiots (like you?).

Let’s hear about Bush/Cheney et al and the documented lies they’ve told and continue to tell didn’t happen. Every word these bozos have uttered in public are there for the world to see-over and over again. The Democrats “plan” for 2006 and 2008 consists of only four words-“WE’RE NOT THE REPUBLICANS” From Bush’s “Mission Accomplished” to Cheney’s “Last throes of the insurgency” and everything in between their lying has been an insult to liars everywhere. That’s not even broaching the issue of their incompetence. The aftermath of Nixon and even Hoover will pale compared to the upcoming GOP disaster. “You can’t fool all the people all the time.”.

Judge Allows Sex Blogs Lawsuit to Proceed
A judge on Wednesday allowed a lawsuit to proceed against Jessica Cutler, the former Senate aide who posted details of her sex life on the Internet.
The case brought by Sen. Mike DeWine’s (Republican, Ohio) former counsel to the Senate Judiciary Committee, Robert Steinbuch, alleges that Cutler engaged in an invasion of his privacy in 2004 by publishing sexually explicit facts about a relationship with Steinbuch.
Cutler was fired from DeWine’s staff after the Web log — which identified her purported sex partners by initials — created a public sensation.
Archive of Jessica Cutler’s blog detailing how she was paid for sex, had six simultaneous partners, and an anal regular.

I made a comment the other day on a blog regarding the immigration issue which has been allowed to become so complicated that I can’t see a simple solution.
I’m gonna cut and paste here:
I’m going to have to agree with Curious. The hispanics who fail to assimilate put themselves and their families at risk. How? Because they’re here illegally, they don’t have bank accounts and carry cash. Let’s not forget how they were being beaten, robbed and murdered months ago.
They become victims of businesses which will scam them because of their financial desperation, ie “Title Loans”.
They are hoodwinked into real estate deals which leave them empty-handed because they didn’t understand contractual agreement.
If you want to show compassion, require that they assimilate if for no other reason than to protect them from the inherent nature of man.
That’s what I call compassion, others may see it as intolerance or racism and I would have to respectfully disagree. Abstract???

Well, Danish, I can debate issues. You can’t. All you want to do is “score points”, which you can’t, but I’m not about to be reduced to your level. John Kerry served honorably, was awarded multiple medals, and grew disillusioned with the war. The Communist Party, which was against the war, was right in this case. That is infrequent for the Communists, but this time they did get it right. Hell, even fascists get it right once in a while (I like the idea of trains running on time). The ridiculous idea that just because a certain segment of the population is against something it must automatically be right is neo-con thinking. Issues stand or fall on their own merit, not on the list of organizations that support it. Hell, this country re-elected Shrubby. That does not mean he’s a good, decent, or even shoddy President. And yes, there are think tanks which are not alligned with a major party. Can I name them off the top of my head? No. But when I hear some highly dubious information — like Kerry worked for the North Vietnamese, or Karl Rove eats Jewish babies for Sunday brunch — I always make sure to check the source. If the only source for the claim is some partisan, hacky glorified online blog, I don’t trust that info much. No matter whether it supports my view (I would not be surprized if Rove ate babies) or opposes them.

Belinski makes for a fascinating read. I would agree with her that Western Europe’s biggest mistake post WW2 is it’s failure to encourage assimilation, especially of African and Asian (Muslim) immigrants. Score 2 points for the US. Detroit is not in flames.

Further, regarding John Kerry’s faux-heroics, it is one thing to become “disillusioned with the war”, it is quite another to trash our military and then work with the enemy to end the war.
Do you honestly believe that the Communist Party USA had noble aims when they led the anti-war movement?

FROM the Iranian perspective, it may appear that we’re fully committed militarily - and they’ve probably wildly over-estimated the “the big pus-sy anti-war” constituency in the U.S. Tehran certainly evidences no understanding of the depths of America’s military resources, of our decision-making processes - or of NASCAR America’s inevitable reaction to attacks on our Navy.

As Mr. Fitzgerald pointed out at the time of Mr. Libby’s indictment last fall, none of this is particularly relevant to the question of whether the grounds for war in Iraq were sound or bogus. It’s unfortunate that those who seek to prove the latter would now claim that Mr. Bush did something wrong by releasing for public review some of the intelligence he used in making his most momentous decision.
Mr. Wilson originally claimed in a 2003 New York Times op-ed and in conversations with numerous reporters that he had debunked a report that Iraq was seeking to purchase uranium from Niger and that Mr. Bush’s subsequent inclusion of that allegation in his State of the Union address showed that he had deliberately “twisted” intelligence “to exaggerate the Iraq threat.” The material that Mr. Bush ordered declassified established, as have several subsequent investigations, that Mr. Wilson was the one guilty of twisting the truth. In fact, his report supported the conclusion that Iraq had sought uranium.
This is from the Moonie Time’s rival, the Washington Post, aka the Pinko Post. Can it be made anymore clearer for you crackpot libs?

Wilson’s assertion that Bush was relying on trumped up intelligence in order to justify his decision to go to war happens to be painfully accurate in retrospect. No WMDs here (Iraq). Wilson probably did have a partisan agenda but he was correct in his criticisms.
It is really kind of funny at this point that people appear to have forgotten or been unaware that when the “unclassified” information was first released it really didn’t bolster war support any at all. Sides were already polarized and distrustful by that time.
This was another example of the President’s many failures regarding preparation to engage in the Iraqi occupation. Waiting to inform the American public that he (according to the release which was later found to be false) had good cause to go to war, and releasing the information in the circuitous and deceptive manner in which he did was at the very best a failure to prepare the American public.
It has also opened up the Presidential office to charges of acting from spite, using governmental power to silence dissent, and causes uncertainty in the Presidents honesty, temperment, and character. If anyone wasn’t already sure that George W. Bush has been a monumental failure as President of the United States, they should be now.

President Bush knew before his January 2003 State of the Union speech that reports of Iraq arranging to buy uranium from Africa were false. But he declared it a fact anyway. So says todays Washington Post, in a bylined news report:
“…the Pentagon asked for an authoritative judgment from the National Intelligence Council, the senior coordinating body for the 15 agencies that then constituted the U.S. intelligence community. Did Iraq and Niger discuss a uranium sale, or not?”
“The council’s reply, drafted in a January 2003 memo by the national intelligence officer for Africa, was unequivocal: The Niger story was baseless and should be laid to rest.”
So Suck… which Washington Post is correct? Is Bush guilty of ingoring the UNEQUIVOCAL conclusion of his master spys? Did this recklessness lead to an unnecessary war?
Maybe it’s the editorial side that needs a good lecture from the news division:
“No wonder the Post, in today’s editorial, calls Wilson’s trip to Niger “absurdly over-examined.” This is what people say when they want to change the subject instead of having to renew an indefensible position. The Post’s editorial page has been wrong from the start on Iraq so we must at least applaud its consistency.”

Good link. I will modify my rather intemperate remarks of an hour ago and say that I really don’t think President Bush plotted any massive deception. Really. But I do think his infamous “16 words” were a careless and unwarranted stretch of what little truth was known at the time. He was seduced by a flimsy scenario sold to him by his closest advisors, especially Cheney and Rumsfeld.
Joe Wilson’s a blowhard. A shallow man with a grandiose opinion of himself. But a President should be neither. In fact, he must be prudent and cautious, steering clear of inflammatory, exaggerated claims of imminent danger. President Bush was not, and look where we are now.

The Wall Street Journal last week reported that Mollohan’s income and assets grew from the mundane (no more than $565,000 in 2000) to the magnificent (about $6 million, give or take a couple hundred thou in 2004). As the weekend wore down, while House Speaker Dennis Hastert was calling for Mollohan to step aside as ranking member on the House Ethics Committee, the West Virginia Democrat’s leadership was standing by him.
Mollohan’s situation, though, shouldn’t let Republicans off the hook: they have failed to frame the unethical behavior Rep. William Jefferson and the questionable activities of Mollohan in the same way that Democrats have framed the situations of Reps. Tom DeLay and Duke Cunningham. “Their messaging on this has just been awful,” complains an outside Republican political consultant about GOP House member efforts. “We’re taking a beating, and the Democrats are getting a free pass. They have just as many problem children, if not more, than we do. We should be hitting back hard.”

The Wall Street Journal continues it’s crusade to get Republicans back on track. Apparently the thought of democrats in charge of government frightens them:
So far that’s exactly the direction that Republican have chosen to run in the last year as their national numbers and President Bush’s approval ratings have softened. From their scramble to ram through a national legislative solution to Terri Schiavo’s plight, to their overreaction to Hurricane Katrina, to their failure to recognize the public’s disgust with pork-barrel projects, to the Dubai Ports deal, Republicans have appeared to the world to be as unprincipled and rudderless as the politicians they campaigned against back in 1994. Unless they change course dramatically in the seven months between now and Election Day, they may well find themselves facing the same fate as the Democratic political dinosaurs of that year that they replaced.

The investigation is looking into whether Plame’s identify was disclosed to discredit her husband, former Ambassador Joseph Wilson, an Iraq war critic. Wilson had accused the administration of twisting prewar intelligence to exaggerate the threat from Iraq’s weapons of mass destruction.
There was a time, when democrats were in charge, that Joe Wilson would have been killed and his body thrown into the ocean as fish food. Now, he gets to twist the whole entire United States government into a knot over nothing, zero, over his supposed “mission” that was actually more of a tax payer funded sight seeing tour. The pinko media, the circus ringmaster in all this, is discrediting foreign and domestic intelligence agencies and even Wilson’s official report over the word of one of it’s clowns.

The intelligent side of the “leak” debate:
The British Intelligence Service, MI6, still stands by that story, as does the French service, the DGSE. And the two agencies did not base their assessments on the phony documents (indeed, the DGSE knew all about those documents, which were peddled and probably drafted by one or two Italian agents of theirs). According to London Sunday Times reporter Mick Smith — an outspoken critic of the American/British use of intelligence to justify the war, and an outspoken critic of Bush — the Franco/British analysis is based in part on a letter from Iraq’s Ambassador to the Vatican, that specifically discussed uranium from Niger. Smith also adds the delicious tidbit that the pile of forgeries actually contained an accurate document about the visit of Saddam’s man in the Vatican to Niger in 1999.
And the goofball side:

But the CBS Evening News with Katie Couric will probably still be a very comfortable neighborhood for liberal heroes, especially liberal women. She’s hailed Madeleine Albright as a “rock star” and welcomed Nancy Pelosi to the House leadership with a “you go, girl.” She is well known as a bowing and scraping ring-kisser of Hillary Clinton, going all the way back to 1992. In April of that year, Couric talked with Hillary about charges she’d be the “power behind the throne” and asked: “Do you think that those kinds of reactions, Ms. Clinton, are the product of just good old-fashioned sexism?”
She was still doing it when hailing “candid” Hillary’s memoirs in 2003, and remembering the health care debacle: “But were you surprised at the backlash? The really vitriolic, violent backlash against you in many ways? Do you think it was good old-fashioned sexism?” With all this sympathy and you-go-girl feminist cheerleading, do Couric and her new employers really think it outrageous for conservatives to wonder if she won’t have an enormous rooting interest in Hillary for president in the next year or two?

“The main female character, Yukiko, draws hair on the ‘mound’ of a little girl,” Collins reports. “The brothers of a dead samurai have sex with his daughter….certain passages can better be described as reminiscent of Penthouse Forum…Other sex scenes are less conventional.”
A direct quote from the novel: “At age 10 the madam put the child in a cage with a bear trained to couple with young girls so the girls would be frigid and not fall in love with their patrons. They fed her through the bars and aroused the bear with a stick when it seemed to lose interest.”
British Literary Review editor Nancy Sladek, who oversees a Bad Sex fiction writing contest, tells Collins: “That’s a bit depraved, isn’t it, this kind of thing about bears and young girls?” Never mind the passage concerning sex with a deer.”

From 1982 until 1985, he served as director of special projects in the Bureau of East Asian and Pacific Affairs. It was perhaps this post that inspired him to write “The Apprentice,” his 1996 thriller that takes place in 1903 Japan.
The novel earned Libby favorable reviews. The Boston Globe called “The Apprentice” an “alluring novel of intrigue” while the New York Times Book Review said Libby’s “storytelling skill neatly mixes conspiratorial murmurs with a boy’s emotional turmoil.”

PS- Thanks for the links but you left out Funk & Wagnell’s (hee, hee, hee). Guess you got me, Republican women who have sex with six guys don’t have sex simultaneously with various guys, this must just be the “normal” kind of sex they’re used to.

I said “what link?” because MY link clearly demonstrated to any objective observor that I thought that McFarland’s statements were looney. But you have interpreted it otherwise,so I guess that makes YOU looney).

So does this mean that having sex with six guys at the same time without breaking it off with any of them and continuing to have sex with each is not having sex simultaneously with six guys?

Contemporary is used more often of persons, contemporaneous of events and facts: The composer Salieri was contemporary with Mozart. A rise in interest rates is often contemporaneous with an increase in inflation. Simultaneous more narrowly specifies occurrence of events at the same time: The activists organized simultaneous demonstrations in many major cities. (having sex with six men is a series of events, not a person, Professor Danish).

Actually Danish, the Republican aide admitted to having three-somes; maybe she had six-somes, too. Exactly how do you know, were you there since you demand an exacting grammatical definition? (let’s see- v****, hands, feet, elbows, knees, armpits, mouth, ears, navel, hair, breasts- well that’s certainly over 6, isn’t it). In fact considering the Republican sexual preferences that I’ve been enumerating, it seems likely that the aide was indeed having “simultaneous” sex with 6 different guys in the most exacting grammatic sense that you have been looking for.

The bill, which is NOT an amnesty, divides immigration criminals into three groups, and increasingly rewards them based on how long they’ve been breaking the law. No, that is not a joke.
Those who have gotten away with breaking the law the longest (five years or more) will get legal status and a track to citizenship for being so bold and successful as criminals. Those who have broken the law between two and five years will need to go to a border checkpoint or an international airport and leave the country for a few hours with a guarantee of readmission before getting their legal status and a track toward citizenship. That’s the Senate’s idea of deportation, I suppose. Those who have only been breaking the law for two years or less are supposed to leave. You know, just like they weren’t supposed to come in.
Maybe that’s why these libs are so bitter and angry today, they are fixing to lose their houseboys.
