One of the running gags on the Simpsons comes up every time there is a town meeting on an issue that seems very important for the moment. Somebody proposes a completely outlandist solution. The crowd mutters among themselves, and the solution is adopted. Soon, as the consequences of the solution become clear-usually the opposite of what was intended, the citizens of Springfield just shrug it off and return things to the way they were before. Thank God, that same process takes place here in the real world too. We fare better than Springfield because the wheels of government turn slowly, and we have the opportunity for second thoughts. The rightwing nuts persist in profferring their draconian “solutions” for “problems” only they see as earth-shaking like gay marriage, flag burning and arresting illegals. Their solutions, like fish, begin to small bad to the public the longer they lie around. Their supporter’s rhetoric becomes more repugnant, and the solutions are increasingly seen as unAmerican and mean-spirited.

Great toon, ML. Bush tries to initiate a moderate tenor to Republican rhetoric and he is Bar-B-Q’ed by his own party. Problem is that the “way-rights” have already alienated genuine conservatives and only the “radical-right” is left sitting in the pews.

If anything smells like fish going bad, it is Joe Roman’s comments. He is so backwards he thinks this Republican administration is only worried about gay marriage, flag burning and arresting legals. That is the way his simplistic mind has classified things.

I haven’t heard word one about flag burning, the state is getting its legalities staight on gay marriage and in Washington, Congress is working hard on the problems of immigration. This smells like fish? Only to a dedicated Democrat. They are the ones who throw a monkey wrench into every solution and then blame Republicans. Way to go, Joe.

Now get all your little Democratic buddies to agree with you and say how rotten Republicans are. Got anything NEW to add or propose besides calling ALL proposals unAmerican and mean-spirited?

I agree a lot with Joe, but I have to question why we would arrest our own citizens when they do something illegal, but not foreigners. Further, I do agree that penalties on employers of illegals is just as important if we really want to adress this problem.

May 23, 2006 — WITH the formation of Iraq’s new government, it’s a good time to take stock of where we stand in our confrontation with Islamist terror. You wouldn’t know it from the outrageously dishonest headlines, but we’re winning.

We could do even better, if we put national security above partisan politics.

At least 40 times more Americans will die on our highways this year than will be lost in Iraq. More Americans will be murdered in Prince George’s County outside of Washington, D.C., than are likely to die in Afghanistan. We’re doing pretty well overseas; our crunch-time strategic problems are here at home: the inexcusable lack of a serious alternative-fuels policy; the need to face our immigration crisis with honesty, decency and respect for the rule of law - and, above all, a political system held captive by extremists on the left and right, corrupted by an irresponsible media culture.

“President Bush is focused on providing practical solutions to energy prices: fair prices at the pump, increased supplies of gasoline, greater fuel efficiency, and new alternative fuels … All Democrats offer is hot air designed to conceal their long record of supporting higher energy costs for America’s families.

“When it comes to gas prices, Americans have a choice between President Bush’s four-point plan for lowering prices at the pump, or liberal Democrats who consistently choose higher taxes, more regulations, and more dependence on foreign oil over safe exploration within our borders.”

There are two directions to go in class-mobile America. Stasis—what greeted post-Civil War blacks for a hundred years. Otherwise there is the upward mobility that has lifted wave after wave of immigrants. Here today we have a Hispanic population that sends nearly one-half its earnings home to desperately poor relatives. These remittances have the effect of postponing year after year the capitalization that makes possible better housing, better education, and moves to places where work opportunities are greater.

An end to massive remittances will have two other positive results. First, the newly legal immigrants can begin to save their money to secure things like health insurance and suitable housing — instead of sending nearly half their wages across the border as they live in substandard conditions in the U.S. and look to entitlements to achieve a semblance of parity with native-born Americans. And second, it will give the rhetoric of Chбvez, Morales, and Lуpez Obrador a chance to have real consequences — as Hispanics can no longer as a birthright simply walk into the hated U.S. and then indulge in the romantic yearning for a distant mother country that they no longer have to endure. Quite soon, as in the case of Castro’s Cuba, the anger of aggrieved citizens stuck back home might turn on their own utopians rather than on an Uncle Sam that they can no longer reach.

It’s a sad fact that some scientists, and (Mad) scientist wannabes (like Mr. Gore) take this tack, because it will only weaken the public’s growing distrust in what they perceive is a scientific elite that leaves them out of the feedback loop. Presumably safe drugs develop unforeseen and fatal side effects. Engineers charged to protect a major city build levees that crash in what (in New Orleans) was a modest hurricane. Their hybrid cars don’t get the mileage EPA says they will.

So here’s what Al told Grist Magazine about global warming: “I believe it is appropriate to have an overrepresentation of factual presentations on how dangerous it is, as a predicate for opening up the audience.”

It’s better for us to be lied to, we can’t handle the truth.

Stanford’s Stephen Schneider, interviewed by Jonathan Schell in Discover magazine later that year, spoke of the need to “capture the public’s imagination.” Scientists would have to “offer up scary scenarios, make simplified, dramatic statements, and make little mention of any doubts we might have. … Each of us has to decide what is the right balance between being effective and being honest.”

Here you go, getalife, this is what I think about the “hole” in the ozone layer; there might be something there but whatever it is has been blown way out of proportion.

Two words, folks: PRACTICAL REALITY!The Nazis, for all their legendary efficiency, took more than five years to round up six million people, and it was obvious who those people were. You think we can arrest an estimated ten to twelve million when we have to rigorously check to make sure they are indeed illegal? How much would it cost? Where would the money come from? Who would do it? This isn’t about politics or right or wrong, legal or illegal. It is about realistic logistical consequences. Assuming you all read these posts, let me make one thing clear. I AM NOT EQUATING ANYTHING OR ANYONE WITH NAZIS. THE ANALOGY IS ONLY ABOUT LOGISTICS AND PRACTICAL CONSIDERATIONS. My point is not political. It is practical. There’s no way we can get rid of so many people even if we wanted to kill them. This isn’t just about typing something out on a computer keyboard and clicking on ‘post’. This is about carrying out a program that can’t be practically carried out. Please. All of you stop and think about how what you propose could be carried out. It seems hardly anyone is.

“The new Iraqi government does not change America’s objectives or our commitment,” he said. “As the new Iraqi government grows in confidence and capability, America will play an increasingly supporting role…This new unity government deserves American support, and they will have it.” Iraq’s new government does in fact reflect real inclusiveness. Yes, the Shia, the majority population group, do hold a majority of the government posts, as one might expect — currently 20 out of 40. This includes the prime minister post now occupied by Nouri Maliki, a little known politician who hails from a party that for years led armed underground resistance against Saddam Hussein and the Ba’ath Party.

Yet, newly installed Prime Minster Maliki felt confident enough to tell British Prime Minister Tony Blair, who arrived in Baghdad Tuesday for a surprise visit, that Iraqi security forces would be ready to assume full responsibility for some provinces and cities as early as next month. Eventually, this is the kind of progress that will lead to the drawdown of American, British and other allied forces that we are all looking forward to.

But it is worth reminding people that the Katrina they think they remember wasn’t the Katrina that actually took place. In fact, it is difficult to think of a bigger media scandal in my lifetime than the fraudulently inaccurate coverage of Hurricane Katrina.

Where to begin? As I’ve written before, virtually all of the gripping stories from Katrina were untrue. All of those stories about, in Paula Zahn’s words, “bands of rapists, going block to block”? Not true. The tales of snipers firing on medevac helicopters? Bogus. The yarns, peddled on “Oprah” by New Orleans Mayor Ray Nagin and the New Orleans police chief, that “little babies” were getting raped in the Superdome and that the bodies of the murdered were piling up? Completely false. The stories about poor blacks dying in comparatively huge numbers because American society “left them behind”? Nah-ah.

This barely captures how badly the press bungled Katrina coverage. Keep in mind that the most horrifying tales of woe that captivated the press and prompted news anchors to - quite literally - scream at federal officials occurred within the safe zone around the Superdome where the press was operating. Shame on local officials for fomenting fear and passing along newly minted urban legends, but double shame on the press for recycling this stuff uncritically. Members of the press had access to the Superdome. Why not just run in and look for the bodies? Interview the rape victims? Couldn’t be bothered? The major networks had hundreds of people in New Orleans. Was there not a single intern available to fact-check? The coverage actually cost lives. Helicopters were grounded for 24 hours in response to media reports of sniper attacks. At least two patients died waiting to be evacuated.

ANN would have pointed out that al-Qaida is being defeated — it’s not dead, but it’s on its way to history’s dustbin. In the last month, the recorded rants of al-Qaida’s cave-dwelling leadership reflect an awareness that their great gambit has failed. Violent political Islamism isn’t defeated — but its al-Qaida avatar is on the ropes.

This week, Iraqi Prime Minister Nouri al-Maliki introduced Iraq’s new, permanent democratic government. A democracy is emerging in Mesopotamia, altering roughly 7,000 years of recorded history. A predominantly Muslim Middle Eastern state is making modernity work. Though bombs still explode in Baghdad (and those bombs are the 24-7 headlines), Iraqis are slowly taking political and economic control. In historical terms, this is astonishing news, but it is slow news, where the evidence builds brick by incremental brick.

Rep. William Jefferson, Democrat, Louisiana was videotaped accepting $100,000 in $100 bills from a Northern Virginia investor who was wearing an FBI wire, according to a search warrant affidavit released yesterday.

A few days later, on Aug. 3, 2005, FBI agents raided Jefferson’s home in Northeast Washington and found $90,000 of the cash in the freezer, in $10,000 increments wrapped in aluminum foil and stuffed inside frozen-food containers.

Cut and Dried? Not so fast:

As the Post explains too far down, the qualms about the raid actually have merit: The Constitution has (vague) language protecting legislators from intimidation by the executive branch. Historically, investigators have used subpoenas and not busted in on congressional offices. It’s “an intimidating tactic that has never before been used against the legislative branch,” said one law prof.

The FBI’s raid on a Democrat’s office rippled through Capitol Hill Wednesday, with Republicans demanding that the bureau surrender documents and other items its agents seized under what lawmakers said were unconstitutional circumstances. “I think those materials ought to be returned,” said House Speaker Dennis Hastert, adding that the FBI agents involved “ought to be frozen out of that (case) for the sake of the Constitution.” A day earlier, the Illinois Republican complained personally to President Bush about the Saturday night raid of Rep. William Jefferson (news, bio, voting record)’s legislative office, saying it violated the Constitution’s separation of powers doctrine. Other House officials have predicted that the case would bring all three branches together at the Supreme Court for a constitutional showdown. HMMmmmm, wonder what Dennis is hiding?

“So today’s containment is a furtive policy being developed willy-nilly behind the scenes, as Bush’s pragmatic second-term officials seek to clean up the vast Mideast mess left by the ideologues who dominated in the first term. A series of cautious concepts similar to those that came to dominate the cold war are emerging as the least worst way of holding off powerful forces that are also going to be around for along time: disintegration in Iraq, expansion in Iran, Islamism all over.”

finch ask, By the way… where’s Osama?

Osama is hiding in the mountains of Afghanistan where the fighting is tough and he has years of experience slaughtering Russians. Does Finch think the strategic, long term plan to fight terrorism is to focus on Osama’s familiar territory, while allowing the the Middle-East to continue breeding hatred and resentment of the west.

Call me crazy but I think if this experiment in Iraq works to form a representative government it will, in the long term, curb the willingness of people in the Middle-East to kill themselves in order to kill westerners.

Love your “Reaganisque” logic leaps. A practical outlook isn’t necessarily suspicious.

Some border security proposals:

(1) Along the 1,900 border with Mexico: Install a 30 ft high electrified fence with underground sensors and lasers that will detect and obliterate any animate thing trying to tunnel in either direction: Estimated cost - about $4 billion (with little margin for change orders and cost over-runs); (2) Identify, detain, load up, outfit with parachutes, and drop 11 million illegals over El Distrito Federal in Mexico: Estimated cost - about $55 billion. To show we’re not racists we pick up illegals here from all countries in the world and drop them in Mexico! (3) Total package: About $59 billion.

To keep costs down. we take easements on all property necessary to install, operate and maintain the fence but we don’t bother with negotiations and fair market value. Sort of a Federal imminent domain. If loss of privacy is good for our security, so would loss of property rights. Right?

To assist you in determining the age of Dusty I ran a maturity test on her, here are the results.

Insults- Dusty hurls insults at the 3rd grade level (ugly jokes).- 8 year old

Sentence structure- Dusty is slightly more advanced than a Dick and Jane book.- 7 year old

Politics- Her politics are a mixture of her knowledge of the words to the National Anthem, and her love of the song “Billy Don’t Be a Hero” 11 year old

Humor-Dusty’s favorite joke to tell…”What would happen if all the cars in the country were red?…….It would be a red carnation!” 7 year old.

Based on this analysis we estimate Dusty to be 8 years old, actually 8 and a half!

If you support any military action, you are required to fight along with our soldiers, or go to Walter Reed Hospital to change bedpans. If you don’t then you are a “chickenhawk” and a “coward” (those are just the most polite names).

If we play by the rules, since you are hell bent on getting Osama, you are obligated to find him.

It could be fun, although Midori is not interested, but maybe JoRo would volunteer to take her place. It’s really quite beautiful there this time of year.

More mush from the wimp:

“President Bush’s exclusive focus on suicide bombers — “suiciders,” in his parlance — when asked about violence in Iraq yesterday once again suggests that he lacks a realistic sense of the current state of chaos in that country.”

“So if Bush is more focused on the battle for public opinion than the situation on the ground, his comments make a certain amount of sense.”

“Another question that Bush’s comments yesterday raised in my mind: Where was the media coverage? Why did reporters give Bush a pass on this one?”

“The most likely answer, at least in part, is that White House reporters are so used to Bush being out of touch on Iraq that they don’t consider it news.”

I can also explain why President Bush argued for the Iraq invasion (WMDs! 9/11! Osama!). But that doesn’t mean I agree with him.

As for why other conservatives are called “gay”, I have no idea. Aside from similar politics, I don’t know them from Joe Liebermann or Cindy Sheehan.

finch,

You missed the point again.

It’s not how many Islamofascists are weaving their webs and spinning their spin. The problem is that the Columbus Dispatch (second largest daily paper in Ohio and part of a media conglomerate) is enabling terrorists - just like the Europeans. They are creating an environment where they can thrive.

I loved this amusing tidbit about the paper which is from your beloved Wiki:

Historically, some have accused the paper (most especially its editorial content) of having a conservative slant. More recently, coverage has been more inclusive of the diverse Columbus community (e.g., the acceptance of same-sex commitment announcements); even the editorial positions (some endorsing more left-leaning politicians and policies) have taken on a more centrist cast.

Ah yes, they are under the spell of diversity. Maybe they received a complaint from the Knight Foundation who was unable to ascertain its “diversity index”.

But I digress…

You grossly underestimate the smarts of the average American. Media that blatantly support freaks, as opposed to reporting on them, lose credibility. Look at the Moonie Times!

Far from promoting him, by reporting on that crazy’s attempt to blame Bush for 9/11, the paper is actually marginalizing him.

I mean, come on, it’s not like most of the money in the Republican cofers doesn’t come from bribes, payoffs, laundering, etc. anyway. How you get the money doesn’t matter because we are speaking for God. What it says in the Bible, especially Romans, is fact, the truth in all regards.

Bush is a poster child for Obsessive Compulsive Disorder. He grandstands, exaggerates, attempts to distract and never finishes what he starts:

As George Bush’s approval rating fell below 30 percent last week, the White House scrambled to locate a new crisis for the president to “face like a man,” thereby perpetuating the charade that he’s a leader.

In fact, Bush is suffering a crisis in failed crises.

He’s trying to crisis-up immigration right now - an issue that’s rarely considered a crisis until an election is approaching, as it is now.

Remember the Social Security crisis? Seniors were entirely clear-sighted on that one and told him to take his crisis and shove it where the sun don’t shine.

Then there was the prescription drug crisis that led to the kazillion-dollar Medicare plan - another failed crisis that senior citizens saw right through.

Then, of course, he demonized the homosexuals so he could conjure up a gay-marriage crisis. That worked for a while with his creepy base, but most Americans recognized that two gay people sharing a life together doesn’t really qualify as a crisis.

Global warming - probably the single greatest threat we face - isn’t a crisis at all! It’s not even real! We’ve got an oil crisis and no plan for developing alternative energy sources to save both the planet and our pocketbooks.

As for terrorism, the only thing Bush has done about that crisis is put two mentally ill men on trial, neither of whom attacked us - Saddam Hussein and the genuinely bipolar Zacarias Moussaoui.

But where is Osama? That man is a crisis-in-waiting, but instead of going after him, Bush conjured a crisis elsewhere and attacked Iraq.

In fact, his best skill is creating crises - both imagined and real. A needless war without end. An attack on democracy here at home.

In the Bush Republican party, this is what passes for leadership.

Postscript: So glad the description of the Washington Times as “morbidly conservative” got such an intense reaction. What’s really funny is this right-wing rag is starting to really bonk our deciderer-in-chief!

Tell me if anyone agrees with this, it seems like the GOP really excells symbolism and outrage, but never seems to have any real ideas.

Example, on the immigrant debate, there are a lot of good points on both sides about how we should go about the problem. It really seems like if we followed the laws we already passed, we would not have this problem, but that is another matter. But what was the one thing the GOP agreed on, passing a bill making English the official language of the US. See, present a problem, and the GOP gives you a symbolic act that does nothing to stop the problem. Do you think passing a bill will automatically make people learn english?

The GOP trots out outrage legistlation every election period now. How about a gay marriage ban, of course, Gay marriage is not legal in Georgia, but how about a bill to ban something that isn’t legal anyway.

How about Abortion, that always gets people motivated. 4 years of a GOP majority in the house, senate, and executive branch and nothing has changed. Why vote for these guys again if this is your big issue?

Here is a little prediction as to upcoming GOP initiatives: Flag burning amendment, affirmation of Under God to be included in the pledge of allegiance, Maybe a little something protecting conservative beliefs as a protected class under hate law legistlation.

Rushncap,

I generally find myself in lockstep with you. In point of fact, I oppose tax cuts that favor the rich and contribute to the deficit.

However, I oppose any significant inheritance tax because it jeopardizes family businesses (stores, farms, etc.). In Europe, winery’s owned by families for hundreds of years are now being sold off to corporations because the inheritance taxes forced the sale.

Perhaps the tax laws should be written to protect certain forms of inheritance (tax stocks, bonds, cd’s, etc., but protect farms and small to medium private companys).

Lay and Enron together donated $2 million to George W. Bush. In 2000, a company memo that was an open strong-arm recommended employees give campaign checks for Bush to the political action committee: low-level managers were urged to contribute $500 and senior executives at least $5,000. It gave more money last cycle than any other energy company.

Keep it up. You manage to do the impossible - make Libs look even worse than they already are.

Rushncap,

A. The tax cuts are not just for the “super rich”, so please stop with that distortion.

N-Ga is right about Estate taxes, but that is just the tip of the iceberg. And while all you Lefties complain about greedy developers who scar the environment, you can take credit for taxing people who owned large tracts of land out of existence and forcing them to sell to these very same evil polluters.

Further, please explain to me what is morally correct about confiscating the estates of people, and giving them to the feds instead of to their heirs? Maybe if you had kids you’d understand this, which is the problem with the Left - most of them are young, childless, and clueless.

B. It is possible that, in the process of investigating CIA leaks of top secret material that they have a record of phone calls made from traitors to reporters. If there are wiretaps, which is not the same thing, you can rest assured that a judge signed off on them.

It is also possible (although it would be too good to be true) that they are tracking Bin Laden’s phone calls, and if he is calling reporters, they will get caught. Hope you don’t mind.

N-GA, from what I have read, there are already really large exemptions (up to millions of dollars) which were written into estate tax laws. Moreover, things like family farms are also exempt if they are valued at up to a million $. So, as it stands right now, the exemption is $1.5 million, and will rise to $3.5 million by 2009 before being repealed altogether. I do not see anything wrong with, for example, leaving the exemption amount at $1.5 mil., and maybe adjusting for inflation or rise in GDP. So we’re not talking about the feds taking half of what your poor granny scraped together in the her sunset years for her favorite grandson. We’re talking about, literally, estates. And that is a major source of revenue for the federal gov’t. Not to mention the fact that the uber-rich always find ways around fiscal laws, so I’m sure most of them are already able to bequeath tax-free far more than that.

A. No, Danish, the tax cuts are just for the super rich, they are mostly for the super rich. If a middle class family gets a tax cup of $1 while a multi-millionaire gets one of $100, I cannot with good conscience argue that the tax cuts only benefit the rich. And you cannot, with a good conscience, argue that that tax cut is fair. And this is precisely what is happening: the middle and lower class get some nice crumbs, the rich get some nice thick slices, and the Repubs are able to sell the myth that everyone gets a piece of the pie.

B. While I generally am happy that the Bush administration’s attempt to get back at its political opponents is getting investigated, freedom of the press is even more important than dragging those scumbags into a court room. You may trust the government to secretly do what it wants to, but I don’t. Reporters find out things which the government is doing wrong. As such, they are extremely important, and should not be touched. I bet you $100 you’d be singing a different tune if the Clinton administration did this. In fact, you’d be screaming at the top of your lungs. The only reason you tolerate this is because the Shrub is YOUR guy.

The company’s share prices dropped 6% last year and are still lower than when he joined them (from GE). In this decade, Lowe’s share price is up 170% while their CEO’s financial deal is a mere fraction of Nardelli’s. Nardelli is the biggest individual fund-raiser for the Republicans.

Years of one-party government, Conyers said, have left Americans with many unanswered questions, such as “whether intelligence was mistaken or manipulated in the run-up to the Iraq war… the extent to which high-ranking officials approved of the use of torture… whether the leaking of the name of a covert CIA operative was deliberate or accidental” and who did it. Any alert citizen can add particulars: the legality of National Security Agency’s warrantless wiretaps and the constitutionality of Bush’s 740 “signing statements,” as reported by The Boston Globe, in which the president claims the power to ignore laws with which he disagrees. Conyers wisely stresses that the GOP-led House impeachment of Clinton proved “that partisan vendettas ultimately provoke a public backlash and are never viewed as legitimate.” Nobody wants a government that does nothing but investigate itself. But the Republican Congress has completely abdicated its constitutional responsiblilites. Our democracy cannot long survive a president who claims the prerogatives of a king.

rushncap,

My position has more tax forgiveness at the top. For example, if an estate winery (such as Mondavi) is privately held, but has a market value of $500 million, then the heirs might have to sell it in order to pay inheritance taxes. I don’t like that. Then Mondavi becomes just another unit in a large, multi-national corporation with no soul.

I don’t oppose inheritance taxes in their entirety. But somehow we have to find some point that will allow a family to retain the family legacy and continue operating a family business.

Nice try, no cigar. Enron was given the tools to manipulate energy prices by Republicans who thought deregulation was a divine right.

Enron funneled brazillians to GOP campaigns, including Bush’s 2 runs for governor and his 2000 White House bid, virtually ignoring Democrats. Legal payoffs.

I won’t even bother detailing the Enron stock selloffs by Rove, etc., before the roof caved in.

Enron became the 800 lb. energy gorilla on Bush’s watch, not Clinton’s.

[Mr. Plumpers, an overweight tabby, told another cat today that he “bitterly resents” a comparison one of his human pets made between him and Republican Speaker of the House Dennis Hastert last night.

“Donald teasingly implied that Hastert and I have a lot in common, ‘because we’re both fat cats,’ an insipid comparison I bitterly resent,” said a visibly upset Mr. Plumpers, the hair on his back beginning to stand up on end at the memory of the slight. “Not only did he say this, mind you, but he was petting me at the time!”

Mr. Plumpers is the owner of two human-pets, Don Garver, 63, and Colleen Garver, 58. As he does every night, the orange-tabby was watching Fox News with his humans, critically analyzing the perpetually wretched state of affairs in Washington.

“I was watching a particularly interesting report on the Congressman whose office was searched by the FBI,” explained Mr. Plumpers, “and how the rest of Congress is defending their corrupt comrade. I remember seething at their audacity, and deciding I was very much in need of a pleasant back-rub.”

As is his right, Mr. Plumpers proceeded to jump onto his human-pet Donald’s lap and demand a massage.

“Well, I hadn’t received three strokes before I heard Donald compare me to that crook Hastert. I don’t understand it, how could he have been so callous and cruel?”

“First of all, I may be a bit flabby, but I’m nowhere near as obese as Hastert!” said Mr. Plumpers. “Second, while Hastert is the worst kind of criminal, whose mother was probably a one-legged prostitute, I on the other hand am one of nature’s finest, most ethical creatures. The ancient Egyptians worshipped my kind as Gods you know.”

Shocked and dismayed by the vile comparison, Mr. Plumpers immediately pointed his soiled anus in the direction of Donald’s face and began to release his bowels.

“What else could I do?” said Mr. Plumpers. “A cat can only take so much impudence from his subjects. I promptly decided to release myself onto Donald as he had misbehaved and needed correcting.”

Quickly pushed off his human-pet’s lap, Mr. Plumpers darted outside to share his tale of woe with his friend Marley, a homeless black cat with whom he sometimes hunts mice with.

“I ain’t know s** ‘bout no Haz-bert and whatnot,” said Marley. “But I knows this much: when Plumpers gets mad, you best stay out his g******* way. Sheeiitt. That fat mofo can crush a cat with the back-half of his a* when he wants to. Not me though. I don’t have to do s**, people just gets out my way. People always been afraid of me for some reason. I don’t know why. Probably cause I’m black. Anyway, what wuz we talking ‘bout again? S**, I forgot.”](http://www.bsnews.org/articles/132)

Tex,

Wake up dude. What do you think “Death Taxes” are? I’ll give you the simple version: If you own a house and have savings and investment that is more than the government will allow, they will take 50% of your estate from you when you die - despite the fact that you paid taxes on your income and everything else during your lifetime. Your heirs will have to sell everything to pay those taxes, and if their lucky they might end up with the chicken coop.

I can’t stand Al Gore, he’s a blow hard:

Gore discusses glacial and snowpack retreats atop Kenya’s Mt. Kilimanjaro, implying that human induced global warming is to blame. But Gore fails to mention that the snows of Kilimanjaro have been retreating for more than 100 years, largely due to declining atmospheric moisture, not global warming. Gore does not acknowledge the two major articles on the subject published in 2004 in the International Journal of Climatology and the Journal of Geophysical Research showing that modern glacier retreat on Kilimanjaro was initiated by a reduction in precipitation at the end of the nineteenth century and not by local or global warming.

Gore claims that sea level rise could drown the Pacific islands, Florida, major cities the world over, and the 9/11 Memorial in New York City. No mention is made of the fact that sea level has been rising at a rate of 1.8 mm per year for the past 8,000 years; the IPCC notes that “No significant acceleration in the rate of sea level rise during the 20th century has been detected.”

On Sunday, during the ABC news program, “This Week,” Attorney General Gonzales was asked if the federal government might prosecute journalists who published classified information. “There are some statutes on the books,” he answered, “which … would seem to indicate that this is a possibility.” He went on to suggest that such prosecutions were implicitly authorized by the Congress when it passed the statutes. “We have an obligation to enforce those laws,” he said. “We have an obligation to ensure that our national security is protected.”

As former Vice President Al Gore’s documentary on global warming fears debuts today, a new video from the Competitive Enterprise Institute tracks Gore’s own “carbon footprint.” CEI’s 70-second video points out that Gore himself is a big user of the hydrocarbon fuels that produce carbon dioxide when combusted.

The CEI video, which may be viewed at: http://streams.cei.org/, includes footage of Gore and his constant air travel with two CO2 meters running at the bottom of the page that compare Gore’s carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions with those of an average person.

“All the evidence suggests that Mr. Gore is an elitist who passionately believes that the people of the world must drastically reduce their energy use but that it doesn’t apply to him (Hey! That’s what I said!),” said Myron Ebell, CEI’s director of energy and global warming policy and the creator of the video.

Culture of corruption! Culture of corruption! Ooops, that’s one of our, Bush’s fault! Bush’s fault!

The Democrats’ new series of scandals go far beyond campaign contributions. This corruption involves using public funds to enrich one’s friends, obtaining favorable loans and using congressional authority to drum up foreign contracts for business cronies in exchange for cold, hard cash.

Democratic Reps. William J. Jefferson of Louisiana and Alan B. Mollohan, Democrat of West Virginia are at the center of the latest investigative storm. The FBI is probing accusations Mr. Jefferson was given money, stocks and other benefits from a technology company in exchange for helping the firm obtain business in Nigeria.

Mr. Mollohan is under scrutiny for his role in obtaining millions of dollars in pork-barrel appropriations for his state, a network of groups he set up that benefited from the money and a personal fortune that grew from $565,000 to more than $6.3 million in just four years.

BD: “Your heirs will have to sell everything to pay those taxes, and if their lucky they might end up with the chicken coop.” Oh, is that why Anderson Cooper had to take that job with CNN? Is Gloria’s estate planning that lacking?

The question was, “When and where has this happened, and under what circumstance?” You see, there’s more than a few ranches around here, most with mansion sized homes set back almost a mile or two from the road, I’m not sure that they’d qualify as estates. I can tell you that over the years, even before the repeal of the “death tax”. After their original owners passed on I don’t remember seeing a single family member selling anything to keep the ranch. Now there was a rash of land sales in the eighties and nineties by heirs that didn’t want to ranch. They made more money than they inherited by selling the ranches to developers, who built some very nice subdivisions. I can’t think of a single family in this area that’s had their ranch taken by the government to pay “death taxes”. I was wondering. Where was this happening, and to how many families? I have known some heirs who should never have been left anything. It was like giving them welfare. They didn’t work for it, didn’t appreciate or value it and pretty much frittered it away. The government didn’t have anything to do with it though.

Man, opening ANWR would be stupid. We don’t need supplies of gas to go up and prices to go down, the United States might get ahead. Let’s come up with some bogus reason to stop this that all the other sap liberals will fall for like Caribou breeding grounds, hahahahaha.

At the end of this week, it’s likely that the U.S. House of Representatives will vote on whether to open a tiny portion of the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge (ANWR) to oil and natural gas drilling. As both houses of Congress wring their hands over how to cut consumer gas prices, they ought at least to admit to themselves that drilling in ANWR is one of the few policy ideas that can make a difference.

But the Senate has never been able to muster 60 votes to overcome a predictable liberal filibuster of a stand-alone bill. Last year pro-drilling Senate Republicans succeeded in adding ANWR to the annual budget resolution, which under Senate rules requires only 51 votes to pass. But Republicans belatedly are trying to use the budget resolution to restrain spending too. That has generated a hornet’s nest of opposition from Big Labor Democrats in the House who otherwise would endorse a pro-ANWR bill. When GOP House leaders jettisoned ANWR to win over RINOs as converts to budget-cutting, their deal scuttled drilling. That’s too bad because increasing the oil supply is one of the few ways to be serious about cutting gas prices.

Isn’t this neat the way our “leaders” can cry racism about everything that we don’t like? And how we chirp like a bunch of harlots in chorus to defend them?

It takes political bravery to propose pruning the VRA, given the predictable charges of racism that are hurled so promiscuously nowadays. Senate Minority Leader Harry Reid, for example, has a liberal’s reflex for discerning racism everywhere and for shouting racist'' as a substitute for argument. During Senate debate last week on a measure to declare English the national language, he said:While the intent may not be there, I really believe this amendment is racist.”

Questions crowd upon one another. Was his opaque idea — well, perhaps it is not opaque to liberals — of unintentional racism merely a bow to Senate rules against personal slurs? What race'' does Reid think is being victimized? Are Spanish speakers members of a single race? Evidently Reid thinks something like that because his next sentence was:I think it is directed basically to people who speak Spanish.” Indeed, it is, but what has that to do with racism?

You see I specifically said Clinton didn’t do anything about the problem. Now your pep squad brings up the origins of a company in some misguided effort at discrediting my argument. It didn’t work. The problems that led to these companies executives becoming so crooked began under the Clinton administration by trying to limit executive pay. I don’t completely blame Clinton for this because it took Congress to enact the laws.

I do blame the Clinton justice department for doing nothing to solve the problem.

Now I’m sure all you will see in that is “Clinton did it too” or some such childishness, but other people with open minds read too so perhaps my words won’t be wasted on them as they are on you.

Huge,

Blah blah blah blah. Only you can go on and on over the fact that, OMIGOD, Jeb Bush may, at some point in time, become, HORRORS, baseball commissioner, and post a rap song complaining about “royalty” about it. Why does that bother you so much? Huh? Do you deserve the job?

Rushcnap,

If you add on the value of the house to the rest of the “estate”, it would be taxed (the rate would depend on what year they have the misfortune to die, which should illustrate how ridiculous our tax system is).

Why do you have a right to a cut of their decidely middle class estate that they worked their whole lives to accumulate?

Well, I’m glad that’s over with, now I can get back to posting:

Kingston’s bill also increases to 10 percent the amount of ethanol that must be mixed with gasoline. That’s a proposal that actually increases the cost of energy to consumers. Ethanol advocates like to say that a gallon of ethanol currently sells for about 30 cents less than a gallon of gasoline. What they don’t admit is that it takes 1.5 gallons of ethanol to produce the same amount of energy as 1 gallon of gasoline. A car that gets 30 mpg on a gallon of gasoline will get 1/3 less gas mileage on a gallon of ethanol, or 20 mpg. Do you want to drive 300 miles? Then you will need to buy ten gallons of gasoline: At $3 dollars a gallon, it will cost you $30. But try that with ethanol in your tank and you will need to buy 15 gallons. At $2.70 a gallon, your cost to go 300 miles is $40.50.

Ken Lay and the Enron scandal and George Bush. Enron took advantage of energy deregulation pushed by Republicans, and rewarded Republicans who greased the skids:

“The man who paid many of the biggest bills for George Bush’s political ascent, Enron founder Kenneth Lay, has been found guilty of conspiracy and fraud almost five years after his dirty dealings created the greatest corporate scandal in what will be remembered as an era of corporate crime.”*](http://www.thenation.com/blogs/thebeat?pid=86743)

*”After Bush gave Enron exactly what it wanted in 1999, by signing legislation that deregulated the state’s electrical markets, Lay knew he had found his candidate for president.

“When Bush opened his campaign, Lay opened the cash spigots.”

When liberals talk of “sacrifice” what they mean is what they always mean and want — all the time: Higher taxes. Redistribution of wealth. It’s all a ruse, just another way to coerce the American people to institute left wing policies. So don’t be snookered.

In typical liberal fashion, liberals are always out front moralizing to us “un-annointed” plebeians about the sacrifices we must make for the “common good” of which they are always exempt. Our children must be bused, while their children go to toney private schools. Our values must be sacrificed so as to institute their vision of how society should look and behave.

We, the United States, must “understand” terrorists and criminals, and the average Joe should have his money, that which he earned, redistributed to those constituencies liberals feel are worthy of the fruits of his hard work. Your money is not to be spent by you directly for your children but to causes liberals deem more important.

Three years after Saddam’s regime crumbled, Iraq is a better place. Where mass graves and torture facilities once dominated the landscape, an open economy is emerging.

Today’s Iraq is very much different than that of the former dictator. No longer must Iraqi soccer players fear the wrath of Saddam’s sons when they lose a match. Hope is in the air; and though occasional setbacks occur, Americans can rightfully feel proud of the work the brave members of our Armed Forces are doing in Iraq. With every terrorist captured and every school reopened, our soldiers breathe new life into Iraqi society and give people there, even more hope for the future.

Clinton Secretary of State Madeleine Albright, February 1998: “Iraq is a long way from [here], but what happens there matters a great deal here. For the risks that the leaders of a rogue state will use nuclear, chemical or biological weapons against us or our allies is the greatest security threat we face.”

Clinton National Security Adviser Sandy Berger, February 1998: “He will use those weapons of mass destruction again, as he has 10 times since 1983.”

President Bill Clinton, December 1998: “Other countries possess weapons of mass destruction and ballistic missiles. With Saddam, there is one big difference: He has used them, not once, but repeatedly — unleashing chemical weapons against Iranian troops during a decade-long war, not only against soldiers, but against civilians; firing Scud missiles at the citizens of Israel, Saudi Arabia, Bahrain and Iran. Not only against a foreign enemy, but even against his own people, gassing Kurdish civilians in Northern Iraq… . I have no doubt today that, left unchecked, Saddam Hussein will use these terrible weapons again… . ” Clinton, July 2003: ” … [I]t is incontestable that on the day I left office, there were unaccounted for stocks of biological and chemical weapons. We might have destroyed them in ‘98. We tried to, but we sure as heck didn’t know it because we never got to go back there.”

Rep. Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif., December 1998: “Saddam Hussein has been engaged in the development of weapons of mass destruction technology, which is a threat to countries in the region, and he has made a mockery of the weapons inspection process.”

I feel only pity for Andy. He must toss and turn at night, with nightmares about the terrorists attacking his double-wide and killing his pitbulls.

Then he wakes up only to find that, once again, he is lying in a puddle of his own making (much like the ruins of his life). He quickly dries himself off, then moves on to the kitchen to re-heat a pot of coffee made from grounds he fished out of his neighbor’s garbage.

Back to the bathroom, he has a large discharge (much to the chagrin of his nearest neighbors) and then it’s time to shave. He grabs his Lady Bic, hoping against hope that there’s still an edge to it. He applies some KY jelly (used only once, then re-cycled) and begins to shave. As he stares into the mirror, the image looks back at him with utter disgust. It’s the same look his mother gives him on Mother’s Day.

But then his day begins to brighten…he thinks of Buy Danish and knows she will comfort him with bogus compassion. And so his day at the keyboard begins, defty typing torrents of ignorant text with one hand while doing God-knows-what with the other.

Culture Of Corruption:

However, the Jack Abramoff lobbying scandal seems almost tame compared to what is emerging on Democratic turf. Both Democrats and Republicans received campaign contributions from Abramoff, his associates and Indian tribes he represented. And it still isn’t clear that any of these payments were illegal.

The Democrats’ new series of scandals go far beyond campaign contributions. This corruption has to do with using public funds to enrich one’s friends, obtaining favorable loans and using congressional authority to drum up foreign contracts for business cronies in exchange for cold, hard cash.

Iraq. Where the good die young. By the thousands.

“While there are very great differences between the Vietnam War and the Iraq occupation, there is one important similarity. The people of Iraq are the real victims of what is happening and the death and destruction that is devastating their country is what history will remember.”

“In global and U.S. media the reports of the sharp rise in the numbers of Iraqis killed and maimed by the guerillas and their Iraqi and U.S. military and police opponents makes the Bush administration’s comments about the advance of democracy into a cruel joke.”

“As an extensive New York Times story makes clear, militias connected to political parties and individuals, heavily armed government forces heavily infiltrated by guerillas are engaging in an escalating cycle of murder and terror against the Iraqi people, who are caught in the middle of a homicidal dodge ball game while U.S. taxpayers pay and U.S. civilian contractors rake in very big bucks.”

The war in Iraq will transform the Middle East much the same way the last world war changed Europe forever, Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice said Wednesday.

The top diplomat noted that the Middle East “has been ruled by authoritarian governments” that have “held back” the entire region. She blamed oppressive Arab regimes like Saddam Hussein’s for producing “this ideology of hatred that led to groups like Al Qaeda.”

Since the U.S. liberation, however, Iraq has been “going through a kind of important rejuvenation of culture, of people’s rights,” Rice said.

“It’s hard, as big, historical changes always are, but imagine that, in the center of Arab culture, in Baghdad, a place that has a history as long as the culture of the Middle East itself, that you have a stable, multi-ethnic, democratic government that is a friend of the United States.”

As for al Qaeda, Rice said the U.S. has the terror group on the run.

“We’re taking down the organization that did 9/11,” she told Sean Hannity. “Al Qaeda is not the same organization that it was on September 11th.”

See ya later. No kids for me today. End of the year play tonight. The grand finale!

Andy not Andy^^ from 10:;08 pm,

You are a homophobe and a bigot. Of course.

I guess the problem this jacker has with me is that I’m not John Kerry, and if only I would call our soldiers terrorists (and change the color of my skin?), or married a Kennedy, I could be a member of the Liberal Elite!

I know these elites intimately, the way David Horowitz intimately knows red diaper babies, so my perspective is based on a lifetime of experience, not just what I read in the New York Times, or in chick-lit novels.

Your depiction of my decidedly moderate religious beliefs as religious “fanatacism” doesn’t square with reality - even Kerry’s crowd would take umbrage at that - so you may want to do some more research on this “culture” before you write again about something you know zilch about.

Try reading “The Big House” by George Howe Colt, although you may be disappointed not to find Christian fanatacism (or tremendous wealth) informing those pages. You also won’t find anyone even remotely resembling Paris Hilton, or “Dynasty” reruns.

Border security has been on the front-burner for longer than anyone of us can even speak about the matter. What has gone wrong in the recent rash of border crossing and illegals entering these USA; it is nothing new! Lack of boarder security is not the problem, nor can it be when we already know that we have open the USA with open Arms and why close it now with all of the rash of putting things in place and more guards. It is very likely that border crossing will remain with the constantly under the table of dealings with dollars for heads and it don’t come cheap! Try 2,000 to 5,000 per head and see who will be taking the big bucks to sneak them in! Final story to a age of looking the other way, problems.
