Well, on the upside, it looks like by the time we’re done over there, there will be no Iraq to locate on a map.

BTW, I just saw the very beginning of the Colbert monologue. Man! Never realized that be basically called those who still support Bush “backwash”. So… so damn brilliant. He’s like a white Dave Chapelle.

By the time we finish with Iraq, it won’t be a place that anyone would want to be anyway so what difference does it make. We broke it and GWB is hoping that they going to fix it. (or the next president will)

Years from now the only thing we will remember about Iraq is that thousands of soldiers died there for no good reason. We’ll leave it worse that we found it.

Obligatory cartoon comment: Snooze-A-Rama. And whose fault would it be anyway that kids are under-educated today? Liberals, per chance?

WS,

Bringing it over here before I go to bed.

You said, Anti-semitic, pro-palestian Jews. I think you might have invented a new category.

Try a trip to Hollywood. Read a few Op-Eds from the intelligentsia. Try a peace march or 2. I didn’t invent them.

I’m curious about something. When you went to that Catholic college and that Ivy League Grad school - Did you study an ancient subject called, “Western Civilization”, or had that been banned by the time you went to University?

And what was the position of the Catholic Church on divestment with Israel? Or was that before the churches began a mad rush to divest themselves?

And, of course, it’s those liberals who don’t want to teach our children biology (evolution) but do want to teach them fantasy (Bible). But all is not lost.

Who said sarcastically -

Oxycontin. Now that’s an addiction. Funny how the prescribed dose never gets you addicted.

To which finch opined,

*You have absolutely no idea what you’re talking about. Your counselor friends will also tell you that oxycontin and hydrocodone rank up there with heroin when it comes to addictive morphine compounds. Doctors don’t get it right more often than you think.

Not getting it right, is that like getting it wrong?? Tell us again, what drug was it that Rush was prescribed by his doctor???

Could it be that addictive morphine compound you speak of?

Maybe I just need to put the word SARC after everything I write, so you don’t get confused.

Like getalife did when I sarcastically waxed euphoric over the idea that so many of you ML libs, who hate Rush, listen to Rush so often that you are certified experts on the subject.

By WashingtonState

May 3, 2006 01:18 AM | Link to this

finch, Buy Danish,

Pretty much any dose of Oxycontin can be addictive. That is why there are such tight controls on perscriptions. It’s not like you can get refills. You have to get an original signed perscription every time you go to the pharmacy. People do all sorts of whacky things to get them. Stealing perscription pads, waiting until after hours and trying to get the covering doc to perscribe them, going to the ER complaining of kidney stones (a little blood in the urine from a p****** finger helps), trying to change the number of pills. Most doctors are well aware of all the tricks and unless they are complicit, they catch on pretty quick when someone is addicted. Usually, the medication can be withdrawn slowly and the addiction taken care of. Some people like the high enough to engage in drug seeking behaviours rather than deal with the problem. There is always that element of choice.

When you hear the liberals hem and haw about Darfur, ask yourself why doesn’t a million malaria deaths a year in Africa matter:

USAID is the federal government’s lead agency in efforts to help African countries find ways to battle the continent’s deadliest disease, which kills about a million Africans yearly, most of them young children and pregnant women. DDT is generally cheaper and more effective than other insecticides in preventing household bites.

Later this year, Mr. Miller said, USAID will begin using DDT as part of malaria-control efforts in three nations — Mozambique, Ethiopia and Zambia. Nearly $10 million in federal funds has been allocated this year for “indoor residual spraying” in those three countries.

Is their beloved junk science that important to them? Do questionable findings over bird egg shells take precedence over a million women and children?

Yes on both counts. Feels good to them, really hurts the people they are “helping.”

OK toon ML. Everyone always likes to blame the schools and the government for the failure of our youth to learn. We pay them so they should produce.

Perhaps, though, there is something else at play in this area. Could it be that both Mom and Dad are so busy achieving that they don’t have any time to spend with their children on homework and life lessons?

American prosperity is now such that in most households, both parents work. They also work long hours in order to secure their position, telling themselves that they are securing their family’s prosperity. Often one or both parents work more than one job each. There are now more single parent households than traditional ones.

We have become a nation of latch-key kids. The absence of parents in the upbringing of our youth has impacted not only educational institutions but juvenile delinquency, drug abuse, and family cohesiveness as well. We blame the schools for our own failure to be parents.

It’s not an easy problem to solve. Few can afford to have only one spouse work (I have been fortunate enough to be included in this category). The demands of modern society for our children’s time is enormous. People naturally tend to think that they can make the time up later when they can fit it into their schedules but that is exactly what they cannot do.

The cornerstone to solving this problem is having parents engaged and spending quality time with their kids. In order for that to happen, we would have to return to a familial model from the 50’s when only one parent worked only 8 hours per day. That would, also, mean no midnight or all night store hours, turning off the television and shutting down the blogs, video games, cell phones, etc, etc, etc.

Are parents willing to place the welfare of their children above their own desires for “modern” living? I think not. That’s a shame and a burden for us all to bear, our children most of all.

Here’s what seekling obviously thinks was good for Iraq:

One torture technique favored by Saddam’s henchman and his sons involved raping a detainee’s mother or sister in front of him until he talked. In Saddam’s torture chambers women, when not tortured and raped, spent years in dark jails. If lucky, their suckling children were allowed to be with them. In most cases, however, these children were considered a nuisance to be disposed of; mass graves currently being uncovered contain many corpses of children buried alive with their mothers.

And, of course, foreign terrorists blowing themselves up among innocents for the cameras of the drive by media is somehow our fault.

It was the biggest and bloodiest single battle American soldiers ever fought — one in which nearly 80,000 Americans were killed, maimed, or captured. On 16 December 1944 the Germans started their ARDENNES OFFENSIVE. The 106th Infantry Division, in place on a salient jutting out into Germany were hit with full force. After three days of battle, two of the Regiments, the 422nd and the 423rd were surrounded.

While this setback in WW2 was nowhere near as horrible and frightening as having a few scrungy terrorists running loose in Afghanistan, the United States went on to lose against the Germans because we were weak and scared. Well probably do the same here, surrender the 82nd Airborne Division to a couple of ragtag islamic loonies.

Everything Biden does is self-serving, so no need to dwell on that. As for destructive: the Bush administration long has been pressuring Iraqi factions to work better together. Their joint decision now to replace an inept prime minister with al-Malik is a major milestone on the road to Iraqi independence and self-government, an accomplishment surely as significant as crafting its new constitution and holding successful elections.

This step toward overcoming centuries of hatred and bloody warfare apparently isn’t all that stunning for Biden, whose op-ed virtually ignored this accomplishment. Nor is it newsworthy for the American media, which suffered the indignity of having to mention it at all. Constitution, elections, unified government; skeptical politicians and media said none of it would happen. And after each happened, they quickly moved on to find the next thing “that’ll never happen.”

May 03, 2006 Prepare For Iran, Get Out of Iraq By Ed Koch

The President of Iran has threatened the very existence of the United States and its ally Israel, and will soon be capable of using nuclear weapons to carry out his threat.

That’s as far as I could read because this lib has obviously had a nervous breakdown. Does any normal functioning human being believe that Iran could ever successfully eliminate the United States of America before the first of our thousands of nuclear warheads arrived in Teheran?

And as far as abandoning the democratic government in Iraq, I’m sure that would greatly comfort any potential allies we have in Iran.

That’s brilliant of you to post something from Amnesty International, seekling:

The Sudanese people therefore need the help of the international community. The UN Security Council must refer the situation in the Sudan to the International Criminal Court and support a comprehensive reform of the Sudanese justice system, to ensure that those responsible for the worst crimes in Sudan are held accountable.

That’s what these scumbags recommend for Darfur. After the killing is over and the millions of corpses have been cleaned up, the 5 star hotels are ready for the European bureaucrats to reoccupy them, then let’s prosecute the killers. Wonderful.

Meanwhile, they bad mouth the only nation in the world that can end the killing, making it politically impossible for us to intervene, with scummy little articles that maggots like seekling post. Now we know who to blame for the killing.

New democrat motto: Love the sin, hate the sinner.

Andy,

That is perfect!! I vote for its inclusion in the Rictionary, along with Pulitzer Patriot. Since it is the exact opposite of Christianity, it could also be a defition of 21st Century Secularism:

Secularism: (noun) A belief system whose guiding principle is to love the sin, but hate the sinner.

Democrat: (noun) A member of a politcal party which is guided by a belief in institutionalized Secularism. The sole exception is the appeasement of Radical Islam, formerly Islam, which was a religion of peace until April 2003 when George Bush invaded Iraq.

Appeasement: (Noun). Foreign policy practiced by Democrats which holds the belief that everything bad that happens in the world is the fault of President George W. Bush, also known as The Great Satan, and a neo-con puppet. Appeasers are often found in the U.S. Senate and House of Representatives. Ted Kennedy is a famous Appeaser.

So abandoning a subject you’ve lost for another is your idea of multi-tasking??

How about the sick Americans study? How about the fact that your CIA ‘expose’ story is 2 months old?

You are SUCH a blowhard.

We’re a nation that should be shocked when reporters reveal classified national-security strategy, but award them Pulitzers instead of condemning their irresponsibility.

I’m not shocked. I’m PROUD that we have journalists who recognize that real Americans don’t aimlessly torture and imprison innocent people and do not randomly eavesdrop on citizens.

The Democrats made a huge tactical error a few decades ago. In the middle of doing the great work of the ’60s—civil rights, women’s liberation, gay inclusion—we decided to stigmatize the white male. The union dues—paying, churchgoing, beer-drinking family man got nothing but ridicule and venom from us. So he dumped us. And he took the wife and kids with him.

And now here we are, living in a country with a political and economic agenda we deplore, losing election after election and wondering why.

Looking back, I see you’ve taken me out of context. Again. The soft refuge of a failed master-debater.

When I said you mock people for their gender, their religion or their sexual orientation, and quoted your “on the rag” comment from Monday (check out the link, readers. I didn’t make it up), you conveniently quoted me back.

But left out my reference to gender.

Everyone who doesn’t agree with you is treated with ridicule and contempt. They are mocked over sexual orientation.

And followed it up with sexist insults:

So, it, do you swim in the red river? Do you dive in face first? That’s kind of sick, don’t you think? It certainly doesn’t need to be defined as a “protected” sexual orientation, least I don’t think so.

Thanks for proving my point, Hater. You are a homophobe and a mysogynist. When you can’t win an argument on facts, you sink to schoolyard menstruation insults.

Good morning. At least it was until I read the foaming rabid statements about our country and a blogger made by SEEKER.

Although he accuses his country and others of hate, here’s a brief review of some of his posts. There are others besides these.

*US health industry sacrificing lives..

Another bouquet of random deaths (Iraq). THANK YOU, AMERICA.

Iraqis……long for the days of Saddam.

It’s almost like Bush and Rumsfeld WANT to lose their war on terror.

Under the Bush administration, torture gets you medals.*

Then he pours pure hate on Andy yet calls Andy the “Hater”. From SEEKER we get:

You are the most sanctimonious hypocritical bag of slop here. and

Subhumans like Hater (Andy) like their torture victims rare…

The only time I said anything nasty was when I was frustrated with you and your stubborn refusal to acknowledge that Rush had any blame in this affair.

WS,

Catching up from last night, and your spurious claims about my comments -

I stated that Rush admitted his addiction to the morphine derivative Oxyconton or Oxycodone, which according to finch, (sarc)is highly addictive and may even escape a physician’s notice. It may have contributed to his deafness.

He voluntarily went into rehab, and despite what finch claims, has shown sincere and impassioned humility about the experience. He is still under a doctor’s care.

He has spent millions of dollars plus an additional $30 Gs for good measure to defend himself against an allegation that has only been prosecuted one other time in the history of Palm Beach County.

The only thing that Rush has not done to atone for his sin is to go waterboarding in Camp Gitmo.

Perhaps conservative women are not familiar with every slang expression that comes down the line.

Hooker? Is that all these liberals are capable of relating normal everyday activities too?

Conservative thought process: Serving customers as in a fast food restaurant, which would be a slam to a person’s financial capabilities, which in this case fits seekling perfectly, can’t you just picture it in a chicken costume?

Pinko liberal thought process: Serving customers as in the hookers they regularly visit. No problem at all demeaning women here, that’s all a lib can relate a woman to is being is a sex object. Make mention of women, the lib thinks of meat.

Conservative thought process: How can I be accused of sexual discrimination for asking someone if they are “on the rag?” I must really be missing something here, especially considering the sudden tender sensibilities of the pinko liberal, their new found dignity. So I responded sarcastically, which I guess left the simpletons behind, cluelessly in the dark. Apparently muttering to themselves also.

Actually the fouling of beaches is a long shot. The environmental dangers of oil exploration and extraction rank right up with the marvels of Cuba’s healthcare as modern man’s most zealously cherished fables. It’s the transportation of oil that accounts for the overwhelming number of oil spills. Recall the Valdez, the Cadiz, and the Argo Merchant. These were all tanker spills.

And even these (though hyped hysterically as environmental catastrophes) always play out as minor blips, those pictures of oil soaked seagulls notwithstanding. To the horror and anguish of professional greenies, Alaska’s Prince William Sound recovered completely. More birds get fried by landing on power lines and smashed to pulp against picture windows in one week than perished from three decades of oil spills.

RW,

Actually, we have been fighting Muslims in one form or other since the 1790s, in the form of the Barbary Pirates

Things have not changed much since then:

In 1784, the United States Congress allocated money for payment of tribute to the pirates.

Use for the money came in 1785, when the dey of Algiers took two American ships hostage and demanded $60,000 in ransom for their crews. Then-ambassador to France Thomas Jefferson argued that conceding the ransom would only encourage more attacks. His objections fell on the deaf ears of an inexperienced American government too riven with domestic discord to make a strong show of force overseas. The U.S. paid Algiers the ransom, and continued to pay up to $1 million per year over the next 15 years for the safe passage of American ships or the return of American hostages. Payments in ransom and tribute to the privateering states amounted to 20 percent of United States government annual revenues in 1800.

Fascinating stuff isn’t it!

I recall a day when I was here no conservatives in sight. They spent the entire time ridiculing the conservatives in their absence. No discussion on any topic, no solution to all the world’s problems. Perfect opportunity and they missed it.

I just heard a national weather service spokesman discussing tsunamis in relationship to earthquakes. He said that the magnitude wasn’t really the driving force as much as whether plates were laterally shifting against each other which wouldn’t normally cause a tsunami or if it was a plate lifting which would displace a huge amount of water and thus cause the wave.

I have no idea if any of that is true, but it made sense and was certainly interesting. For Sonia’s sake let’s hope if there is a tsunami it doesn’t wash over Tonga and reach Quebec.

This sentence from your Wiki dictionary link would have come much closer to answering my question.

The term alludes to a preacher thumping his hand hard down on the lectern and the Bible on it to emphasize a point during a sermon.

So it’s basically all the pandering Democrat politicians that we see in the fire and brimstone Churches all during any election season or if they have been caught with the hired help. Why do you call then conservatives?

Okay, let me get this moonbat theory of yours straight. Bin Laden’s friends weren’t radicalized when they were hangin’ with the dude in Afghanistan, but come April 2003, it was like a magic jihad wand got waved and PRESTO they ended up in Iraq to cut off heads.

And Zarqawi who was hanging in Kurdistan, was just a follower of the religion of peace, until that magic jihad wand got waved for him too?

Is that it? It makes about as much sense as your argument that Rush was a willing junkie who deserves nothing but hatred and scorn, despite your having written this gem:

Your counselor friends will also tell you that oxycontin and hydrocodone rank up there with heroin when it comes to addictive morphine compounds. Doctors don’t get it right more often than you think.

For the impaired liberal minds in here like, oh say 5:24, sometimes hyperbole is used in a sarcastic manner. It is recognizable to most people that read above the third grade level by the obvious nature of the point being bandied about.

So to keep the record straight I understand that finch did not say that his secret sources told him Fox was folding.

That being said I will return to speaking to the adults here. finch and his secret sources are wrong about the reason behind the ever so slight decline in the FNC numbers. The decline can be traced to their adoption of a liberal slant that began over a year ago as they began hiring a huge stable of liberal bombthrowers and reached critical mass with the outrageous “reporting” by Sheppard Smith during Katrina. They can go back to their roots or become part of the noise.

If finch’s secret sources were worth their salt they would be able to see that they have the cause and effect reversed, but as you can plainly see from other posts, finch and his secret sources rarely get anything right.

Finch on Rush - various notable quotables:

Rush was denying his problem until he couldn’t. And that “fallout from pain treatment” excuse is just crap. As getalife and AntiRadical both point out here, MDs in the US won’t overprescribe oxys. They’re scared of their licenses, arrests or worse.

Good ol’ Rush liked the high so much, he actively sought out out illegal ways to satisfy his cravings. There’s a clear pattern of chronic abuse. He’s a liar in denial and anyone who believes him is a sucker.

That NRO puff piece is an apologetic load of crap. Any article that describes Limbaugh’s “confession” as given (quote) “(w)ith characteristic candor and humility” cannot be taken seriously. You can’t use the words characteristic candor and humility in any sentence about Rush. Not with a straight face.

I once counseled addicts at a clinic. I know their tricks. And the NRO article portrays what a drug addict does best. Rationalize, externalize, and above all else, play the victim card with as many people as possible when the denial card no longer works.

Rush was almost certainly a junkie in 2001. He managed to hide it for 2 more years, which isn’t that unusual for an addict.

And yet his excusers still fall for his line of bull. He really needs to re-read his Big Book. The part about living a life that “demands rigorous honesty”. This bears repeating:

If he and his fans are smart, they’ll realize he was a two-faced junkie, more dishonest than most, who was a criminal but a victim, too. If they’re both dumb and think he’s being persecuted, that’s their shame.

Finch,

Do you listen to Rush, or is all this compassionate insight and expert knowledge obtained elsewhere?

You must have made one hell of a counselor. Too bad you can’t apply your tough and unforgiving principles to the Islamic Radicals, who by the way did want to kill us infidels way before April 2003.

Before that we counted on Fox to rise above the stampede and find out if there was another side to their story, like maybe the truth.

Sorry getalife, a reporters job is to report the truth to the best of their ability and Sheppard Smith, for all the compassion he showed on the bridge, did not come close to fulfilling that duty.

I don’t think much of anybody outside Miami cares anything about pre-Castro Cuba, Danish, so Gracia made a commercial mistake. As far as the politics are concerned, the Cuban are much better off under Castro. That’s not to say Castro is good. It is to say Batista was that much worse. He was a fascist monster, and the people had fewer civil liberties than they now have. Godfather II gives some good hints about life under Batista. Nighclubs then featured women having sex with animals-no kidding. I like Andy Garcia. He’s a skilled, charismatic actor.

I’m glad we had this talk.

MEXICO CITY—As dozens of major American corporations continue to move their manufacturing operations to Mexico, waves of job-seeking Mexican immigrants to the United States have begun making the deadly journey back across the border in search of better-paying Mexican-based American jobs.

RW,

Well it could be spun that Bush did a fantastic job stopping the tsunami!

Why the heck didn’t me BJ clinton link work? Shoot.

JoRo,

I’m so happy for the Cubans that although they are poorer under Castro, life is better for them now than it was under Batista. Too bad the island is a prison that they can’t leave, except on an inner tube. Did Batista have that rule?

Listen up you slow, stupid, wards of the state liberals unable to keep up on your own without external guidance: I’m signing off for the evening, so anything that comes after this in my name is actually from one of your jerk off cohorts. Since you are a blooming idiot, you’ll probably think it is me but it will be you who will be sitting in here giggling like an idiot looking in the mirror. So have fun in my absence, you utterly embarrassing failures, reveling in your hate and racism.

Hey wanker, people know who really Promotes Hate And Racism and it is right here. I can promote Hate and Racism better than anyone.

NEW YORK (Reuters) - Nine states have sued the administration of President George W. Bush for lenient automotive fuel economy standards that they say worsen an energy crunch and contribute to air pollution and climate change.

This is not my real name, I think I told you that already, it’s just that I’m like real slow and stupid and I wank uncontrollably. I think that I’m showing you how much better I am then everybody else with these name jacking ignorant posts that only I can understand, they make me giggle so much, all by myself. If you don’t giggle with me, it’s because you are stupid and you should try wanking some time, it’s fun.

Anyway, I’m naked right now, wanking, while I jack this name, because it is all I got. I’m a real big loser, but that’s o.k. I get to giggle posting these moron things in the middle of all the adults. My parents hate me and lock me in the basement and this is my way of getting even with you smart people. I’m so lame.

Yeah, pretty much, Danish. Except they couldn’t afford inner tubes, so the idea of escape was academic. In the fifties, I had a black sheep uncle who of course was my hero. He went to a gambling junket to Havana once. When he came back, he was shaken. I overheard stories he told my parents. They didn’t know I was evesdropping. Trust me, the Cubans are better off now.

There’s proprietary stuff I can’t link to describing the Murdoch and Ailes fine-tuning at Fox

Absolutely true, Buy Danish. They’re industry newsletters. Subscription only.

Don’t your friends at Fox read them?

finch,

You didn’t say that you had access to an industry newsletter. You led us to believe that you had access toproprietary information.

What was it anyway? Spots and Dots?

I’ll have to use that line sometime with my Rush 24/7 password-enabled membership, which allows me to send super-secret emails to El Rushbo.

Buy Danish,

I think finch is one of those super secret TimesSelect members, he gets the straight skinny from MoDo and the Enron adviser so obviously he knows more than the rest of us.

For instance at 6:33 I analyzed FNC’s numbers based on the absurdity of personal observation.

JoRo,

(Under Batista) Havana became the third most expensive and dynamic city in the world with more TV sets, telephones, and late model Cadillacs per household than any city in America.

Inner tubes must have been really expensive in those days.

Despite the unprecedented economic prosperity of the 1950s, opposition parties like the Orthodox and the Autenticos managed to promote social unrest instigating university students to plant bombs and kill civilians and military personnel alike. Batista’s responded with repression of the subversives

Your black sheep uncle’s comrades, perchance?

RW,

Do you think that General Odom (sp?) is his Pentagon connection?

Maybe he gets a commission every time he posts one of his stories, with no penalty for posting the same story twice.

Secret’s out. Rupert Murdoch, Roger Ailes and I are old drinking buddies. Rup’s young wife is HOT, but that’s another story. We get together with Les Moonvies, Lee Abrams and Don Imus to down Fosters and talk shop.. though Imus is kind of a sourpuss ‘cause he can’t drink anymore..

Anyway, I’m privy to ALL the stratergisms behind the e-news world, and it’s damn fascinating stuff!

China must not have any pinkos:

Even ANWR’s huge reserves pale compared to oil located throughout the waters of the U.S. Outer Continental Shelf (OCS). The Minerals Management Service (MMS) of the Department of Interior estimates that the OCS contains 76 billion barrels of oil in yet-to-be-discovered fields. That’s three and a half times U.S. proved oil reserves. Offshore oil reserves in the Gulf of Mexico alone are estimated to be more than 40 billion barrels, much of it precluded from exploration by official U.S. policy. Compared to U.S. proved natural-gas reserves of 189 trillion cubic feet, the MMS estimates that the Gulf of Mexico alone holds more than 200 trillion cubic feet of undiscovered technically recoverable natural gas.

While celebrating their success in preventing American energy companies from exploring for oil and gas between Florida and Cuba, environmentalists and Florida politicians ought to contemplate China’s egregious environmental record as they look with horror at Chinese drilling rigs soon to be dispersed throughout Cuban waters less than 50 miles from the Florida coast.

I don’t want to end with an air of hopelessness, so here’s some hope, offered to the bureau of prisons. I hope he doesn’t get cable TV in his cell. I hope he doesn’t get to use his hour a day in general population getting buff and converting prisoners to jihad. I hope he isn’t allowed visitors with whom he can do impolite things like plot against our country. I hope he isn’t allowed anniversary interviews. I hope his jolly colleagues don’t take captives whom they threaten to kill unless Moussaoui is released.

I hope he doesn’t do any more damage. I hope this is the last we hear of him. But I’m not hopeful about my hopes.
