First, it’s obviously true what they say – an editorial cartoon adds 1500 pounds.

Second, Mike my staff will be contacting you regarding the unauthorized use of my image. Godzilla would more appropriately represent JAL, don’t you think? Isn’t there any great big real American monster image you could have used? Why do you hate irradiated lizards?

Thirdly, I don’t give a rat’s hind end who ends up controlling Delta. Could they simply provide courteous on-time service, reasonable prices and edible food? Also, don’t expect a lizard of my age to sit still for a couple hours on the tarmac while y’all get your act together. You don’t want to sit next to a 50+ female amphibian who’s had a couple of screwdrivers and has to sneeze!

On Air America this morning, The Young Turks mentioned something interesting.

In 2004, the Catholic leadership in America criticized John Kerry for being a Democrat since Democrats support a woman’s right to choose. They went so far as to say he couldn’t partake in communion. They also encouraged their flock to support Bush because of this.

Then the Pope comes out against the war in Iraq and suddenly the American Catholic leadership is silent. Not a word in support of the Pope’s position.

Has the Catholic church been taken over by right wing conservatives? I was raised Catholic and I remember J.F.K being revered by all Catholics. I know politics has changed a lot since the 60s but I didn’t expect the church to have changed so drastically.

In retrospect, it’s a good thing I left the Catholic church in the 70s.

Yesterday I posted: “Let’s not dump on Fitzgerald. He’s been broadly commended for his objectivity by both sides.”

RW responded: “Really? I would sure like to see where my side of the aisle is singing the praises of Fitzfong in this case.”

Buy Manish added her fractional cents worth with: “Please provide a link to flattering comments about Fitzgerald by a conservative.”

RW couldn’t help but continue with: “How do a bunch of articles written by a bunch of liberals making the claim that Fitzfong is fair make it “both sides”, especially in the Libby case?

Finally both RW (Real Wanker) and Buy Manish post a couple of childish diatribes I won’t bother to re-post.

Now then…then platitudes about Patrick Fitzgerald from all political spectrums are too numerous to mention. But the easiest way to show that the political right approves of him is to look at his last two jobs.

He was nominated by this administration (after being identified by Republican Senator Peter Fitzgerald (no relation) for US Attorney General for the Northern District of Illinois. The Republican-controlled Senate then unanimously approved him for that position on October 23, 2001. Two years later this administration selected him to act as Special Prosecutor because of his lack of bias as well as his successful record of prosecuting terrorists.

He once registered as an Independent, but changed to non-aligned when he discovered that there is an Independent party in New York. Friends & acquaintances describe him as a conservative Catholic.

But RW (Real Wuss) and Buy Manish don’t think that the many positive adjectives coming from both left and right even exist. I’ll let them both twist in the wind….

Help me understand the brouhaha over John Edwards’ new house.

Bush spends his life spending family and other peoples money and ends up building a 10,000 square foot house plus countless additional guest houses on 1600 acres of land in Texas and when purchased the value was seven figures, certainly much more expensive than other houses in Crawford. The Bush compound spares no expense, whether you are talking about the fishing lakes, the bikes paths, the swimming pool, the guest houses and right down to the exclusive country chic interior. John McCain sold his Phoenix area house that was also worth millions but when John Edwards - a guy who is a self made millionaire and not silver spoon fed or a legacy to Annapolis and son of two generations of Navy Admirals - builds a nice property it is suddenly a worth a good old fashioned media smear campaign?

What am I missing here besides the media lapping up GOP talking points? Is it now a crime in the US to live comfortably with the wealth that you generated on your own? Edwards has experienced both sides of America which is a hell of a lot more than McCain or Bush can say so I don’t even see where his new house means anything other than being the new Swiftboat campaign.

Back in 2004 I used to choke up my morning coffee when Republicans and their media lapdogs would talk about Kerry being an elitist and somehow overlook the obvious fact that Bush was from one of the American royal families, the top of the top on the old money scale. Is it so difficult to offer a bit of balance these days or will the media continue to regurgitate GOP messages without question?

Goldie!

I think that the Branson/Gore contest is a great idea, except for one issue that would really have to be considered before I would ever enter it. And that is the control of rights for your design (and any potential patents)

For instance I have an very good idea that would actually be legitimate for that contest, but since my idea is also valuable as a potential patent it would be foolish for me to submit it to that contest. If they had instead proposed (Via Non-disclosure protections) to assist in patent and development of the idea then that would have been a different story. I’d be sending in the form today.

As to BioFuels in Georgia, Atlanta has long had a bio-fuels group pushing this agenda at:

” Is it now a crime in the US to live comfortably with the wealth that you generated on your own?”

Absolutely not. That is what makes America great, a free capitalistic society where someone with drive and hard work can make something of him/herself and enjoy it.

I find nothing wrong with JE and his mansion or lifestyle for that matter, UNLESS…

He flies private jets or he and his family drives around in 10 mpg hulks while preaching conservation and carbon reduction, or

He spends money lavishly on himself with nothing going to charity, while preaching that we need to provide for the poor and homeless, or

…well, you get the point.

I am not saying that he does any of these things…I haven’t researched him, simply because I consider him a 3rd tier player with no chance in ‘08.

It is a bit of a double standard, I admit, but no one goes after rich GOPs because that is the party of the rich…isn’t it?

Great article. 10 cents per dollar of profit margin, but “I want to take those profits…”, says Sen. Clinton.

Better idea….drive the correct behavior (and there are many ways, including addt’l fuel taxes) that reduces oil and gas consumption driving down both oil prices and sales.

According to the Tax Foundation, ExxonMobil made around $38B or so in profits, but paid over $100B in taxes.

Also, read about the progressive European countries that are reducing the corporate tax rate.

Do we really want to start hitting up companies that make 10 cents on the dollar? I’m thinking not.

“HUBRIS: The Inside Story of Spin, Scandal, and the Selling of the Iraq War” by Michael Isikoff and David Corn

When told that reporter Helen Thomas was questioning the need to oust Saddam by force, Bush snapped: “Did you tell her I intend to kick his sorry mother focking a* all over the Mideast?” In a meeting with congressional leaders, the President angrily thrust his middle finger inches in front of the face of Senator Tom Daschle to illustrate Saddam’s attitude toward the United States.

Naw, King George didn’t act impulsively before jumping bare assed into Iraq. See how calm, cool, collected, and rational he was?

Richard Armitage, the deputy secretary of state, was the original leaker in the CIA leak case. But as he was disclosing information to columnist Robert Novak, Karl Rove, Scooter Libby and other top White House aides were engaged in a fierce campaign to discredit Joseph Wilson. Rove even told MSNBC anchor Chris Matthews that the Wilsons “were trying to screw the White House so the White House was going to screw them back.”

Naw, Prince Cheney didn’t abuse his political office to pursue a personal vendetta against his political critics. Suuuuuuuuure he didn’t!

An obscure academic, derided as a virtual crackpot by U.S. law enforcement and the intelligence community, greatly influenced top Bush administration officials, who adopted her farfetched theory that Saddam was the source of most of the terrorism in the world, including the 9/11 attacks. But, oddly, this researcher, Laurie Mylroie, had once been a Saddam apologist and had engaged in secret, back-door diplomacy aimed at brokering a peace accord between Israel and Iraq. After Saddam invaded Kuwait, Mylroie developed bizarre allegations about Saddam and terrorism. Her theories were debunked by the CIA and FBI, yet Deputy Defense Secretary Paul Wolfowitz embraced them, cited them in official meetings, and repeatedly pressed the agency and bureau to come up with evidence to substantiate Mylroie’s work.

A template for Bush think. The conclusion leads to the facts instead of the facts leading to the conclusions. Like everything else about the Chimp in Chief and his merry band of simians, they got it ‘Bass-Ackwards’ a

Couple of comments here about Edwards and his house - first off, it’s his money. He earned it and can spend it any way he wants. But as a medical malpractice lawyer (sure I’ll handle your case - a third to a half after expenses) he touches a raw nerve with a lot of people - not that he’s fighting for people wronged, but he, as with others in his profession, profit so mightily from a few cases (difficult for the “Barney Frank limits on corporate compensation crowd” to reconcile). Then he (legally) uses S-corps to shield income from tax.

So the difficulty for him is symbolic - “I’m for the poor and middle class” - from whom he made his fortune (I know - insurance carriers paid out, but it was paid to the victims) - and homes, SUVs and private jets are potent symbols. He earned what he has legally, thru his own efforts - leveraging those efforts with legal means many have difficulty with.

‘Course, most of the candidates are wealty - Sen Clinton as multiple homes, others have pricey real estate - so…. why should the Republican right care? If this is a way to eliminate another Democratic contender - let them handle it.

The bigger issue is, does he mirror Pres Bush’s characteristic of standing by his people who perform poorly and not firing them? Up pops this issue with two campaign workers acting stupid and they’re still on the staff. Shoulda fired them and be done with it.

And I’m not afraid to say it. … Hollywood likes anal sex. “

And:

“As for the alleged abuse, it’s time to ask some tough questions. First, there is a huge difference between being groped and being raped, so which was it Mr. Foley? Second, why didn’t you just smack the clergyman in the face? After all, most 15-year-old teenage boys wouldn’t allow themselves to be molested. So why did you?”

Paul,

I used to have the same opinions about lawyers until I started sharing office space with my brother in law who is a PI attorney. Insurance is a for profit business, they make money by not paying claims or by paying as little as possible. I am not saying it is a good or bad thing, this is just the way it works. Without a lawyer to push claims, the insurance companies will try to delay and pay as little as they can get away with. Attorneys do take a nice cut, but the client will benefit because the payout of the claim is higher than would be offered by the insrance company to someone without representation.

Also, it ain’t easy getting a law practive started. If you get a case in today, it may take a year before the insurance company pays it out. the attorney does not see a dime of the money until it is settled, so they basicaly work for free unless they win.

I beg to differ, Uber-Paul. John Edwards made his fortune from pursuing the insurance industry, one of the biggest profit-making industries in America and the Repugnant Party’s benefactors. Also, Edwards knows of what he speaks because he was raised in a poor-to-middle class family… no one should fault him for rising up through the class system in America by earning his living the American way!

Which is why I don’t read garbage like that -

RE - no argument there - have a family member who practices - my point was the standard cut for medical malpractice cases (third to a half) strikes many people as excessive and taking away from the victim. Huge awards typically occur where there is grievous injury to the plaintiff. Most settlements are for lots less - on a $100k settlement there’s not a lot of incentive for handling the case for less.

Good Afternoon, Goldie! If you’ll reread, I said the insurance carriers paid out (if the policy limits were reached, the doctor/hospital are liable) and this money goes to the victim. Cut the lawyer’s percentage on mulitmillion dollar cases from a third to twenty percent and that’s a lot more money for the victim.

And I know the names for the inherited wealth - a few of them - it’s pretty easy - Bush, Pelosi, Kennedy, Kerry (benefactor by marriage “Marry rich, young man - love will come later”), Rockefeller - easily come to mind. Still, I think whoever earned it should have the right to give it to whom they want - not that the gov’t has an automatic right to it. Maybe if we got rid of the trusts and other devices the system would change -

You don’t need to label - rather juvenile. I did reread your second paragraph - I’d keyed in on “no one should fault him for rising up through the class system (?!?) in America by earning his living the American way!” At first, I thought you were talking about Dick Cheney!

Thanks for the National Review link! I’d like to highlight this portion, particularly for Sybil Bon Sarah Bon Scott Bon Seeker Bon finch:

As for “so what”: The IG’s report concludes that a Pentagon unit which scrubbed existing intelligence about Iraq’s terror ties under the leadership of Doug Feith, then-Undersecretary for Policy, did not mislead Congress. It further finds that neither Feith nor any other Defense officials engaged in wrong-doing. Nevertheless, acting Inspector General Thomas F. Gimble huffs and puffs and contends that Feith’s unit still behaved “inappropriately.” Why? Because it dared to question that which we now know for a fact was wrong: the Intelligence Community’s assessments about Iraq, and, in particular, the conventional wisdom that secular Saddam and his Baathists would never collude with Islamic fundamentalists

BOSTON - Republican presidential hopeful Mitt Romney has had an epiphany on abortion — not once, but twice.

The first time was when Romney was a young man in the 1960s and his brother-in-law’s sister — an engaged-to-be-married teen who became pregnant — died in a botched illegal abortion.

Roughly three decades later, while campaigning for the Senate in 1994, Romney described that tragedy as the event that triggered his conclusion that regardless of personal beliefs, abortion should be safe and legal.

He repeated that position while running for Massachusetts governor in 2002. In both contests, he attempted to underscore his support for abortion rights as he sought the favor of moderate and liberal voters.

Today, as Romney plots a national campaign for president — he makes a formal announcement on Tuesday — he is seeking to reassure social conservatives pivotal to winning the GOP nomination that he sincerely opposes abortion. He describes himself as pro-life, argues that Roe v. Wade should be replaced with state abortion regulations, and cites the science he studied amid a legislative debate over embryonic stem cell research as the basis for his position.

Gee, looks like Romney was ‘for it before he was against it’. Flip flop, waffle, flip, waffle, flop, waffle, waffle, waffle! I think I finally understand now, Republicans are just the ‘stoooooopid’ branch of the Democratic party that got left out the day God was passin out integrity. They copy everything they criticize others for, just another heapin helpin of those ‘Republican Family Values’ ya know.

Paul,

I don’t have a problem with individual malpractice or injury cases. It’s the class action side of it that is a racket that gives pennies to the beneficiaries while putting millions in the pockets of trial lawyers.

Also, the difference between Kerry and Bush is that, despite growing up in priveleged households, Kerry is an elitist because of his arrogance, while Bush can’t stand elitists.

It really has very little to do with money, and everything to do with the elitist’s sense of superiority and entitlement over everyone else. It’s them versus the peasants who are too stupid to function without them and depend on their nannying guidance to survive.

Good objective comments about Edwards and his profession. Sometimes I wonder if those people so quick to condemn trial lawyers would eschew them when they themselves are looking to sue 1)a manufacturer or 2)a hospital or 3)an airline or 4)another driver or 5)a drug company, etc.

However you also said: “Then he (legally) uses S-corps to shield income from tax.” Technically correct, but more accurate to say that he uses an S-corp to avoid DOUBLE taxation (corporate profits tax and tax on dividends). He could also be using (more likely) an LLC (most states have ceilings on S-Corp revenues).

I’d thought VP Cheney mentioned the S’s in the debate - no matter (but boy, did Edwards walk into that one - keep him away from Putin and Kim Jonh Il) - but the problem gets back to this ridulously convoluted system to take money from people, then set up methods to work around that. And I do think income should be taxed once. (Now define once).

Bill Donohue Defended Bush Catholic Outreach Staffer Who Was Outed As Sexual Predator

During the 2004 presidential campaign, George Bush’s Catholic outreach coordinator, 54-year-old Deal Hudson, was outed as a sexual predator for taking advantage of a drunken 18-year old while he was a professor. The National Catholic Reporter reported:

According to documents obtained by NCR, Hudson invited a vulnerable freshman undergraduate, Cara Poppas, to join a group of older students for a pre-Lenten “Fat Tuesday” night of partying at a Greenwich Village bar. The night concluded after midnight in Hudson’s Fordham office, where he and the drunken 18-year-old exchanged sexual favors. The fallout would force his resignation from a tenured position at the Jesuit school, cost him $30,000, and derail a promising academic career.

Following the report, Hudson resigned from the Bush campaign, withdrew as a White House adviser, and was forced to step down as publisher of Crisis magazine, a D.C.-based conservative Catholic monthly.

Yet at least one prominent right-wing figure came to Hudson’s defense: the Catholic League’s Bill Donohue, who has spent the last several days calling for the heads of two John Edwards bloggers. Donohue ardently defended Hudson in a statement, even invoking the Virgin Mary in downplaying his sexual assault:

In a press release, Bill Donahue, president of the Catholic League, minimized the charges against Hudson and attempted a joke at the Virgin Mary’s expense. “Effective today,” Donohue wrote, his organization had “a new requirement for all future employees: all candidates must show proof of being immaculately conceived, that is, they must demonstrate that they were conceived without sin.”

The American Spectator reported later, “Responding to complaints, the Catholic League has removed the press release from its website.”

“I see nothing wrong with Romney’s stance on abortion. He wants the states to decide, which is what even many fair-minded pro-choice people think.”

Too many problems. First, Romney can’t maintain a stance on abortion without hopping from one leg to the other. So if you agree with this stance on abortion, are you talking about his position today? Or tomorrow? Or when?

Second, while states rights are generally paramount, the Federal government steps in when necessary (and sometimes when unnecessary). For example, before slavery was addressed at the Federal level, it was up to the states to decide whether it was alright to own slaves…or not. Voters rights were decided at the state level for many years. Do you think marijuana laws should be determined state-by-state? Alcoholic beverage laws are all over the map. Some are Federal, others state laws and even others dealt with at county and municipality levels. Most educational issues are addressed at state and local levels, but those that pertain to civil/equal rights are covered by Federal laws.

Back to abortion: If it is left up to the states, then those wanting abortions will probably cross state lines to get them. That was what they did many years ago. Either go to the other side of the tracks (poor section of town), or Mexico (middle class), or (if you had money) go to Europe for a “vacation”.

That way abortion becomes a matter of money. If you have it, get a safe, clean abortion. If you lack money, get a back alley abortion (or die trying).

[Rove on amnesty: “I don’t want my 17-year-old son to have to pick tomatoes or make beds in…Vegas.” According to a congressman’s wife who attended a Republican women’s luncheon yesterday, Karl Rove explained the rationale behind the president’s amnesty/open-borders proposal. There should be no need to explain why this is an obscene statement coming from a leader in the party that promotes the virtues of hard work, thrift, and sobriety, a party whose demi-god actually split fence rails as a young man, a party where “respectable Republican cloth coat” once actually meant something. But it does seem to be necessary to explain.

Rove’s comment illustrates how the Bush-McCain-Giuliani-Hagel-Martinez-Brownback-Huckabee approach to immigration strikes at the very heart of self-government. It is precisely Rove’s son (and my own, and those of the rest of us in the educated elite) who should work picking tomatoes or making beds, or washing restaurant dishes, or mowing lawns, especially when they’re young, to help them develop some of the personal and civic virtues needed for self-government. It’s not that I want my kids to make careers of picking tomatoes; Mexican farmworkers don’t want that either. But we must inculcate in our children, especially those likely to go on to high-paying occupations, that there is no such thing as work that is beneath them.]( http://corner.nationalreview.com/post/?q=NTZhZDdiYmJlNDViYTAwOWExNmUyMmQ5ODlmMWYwYTU=)

By itself, forcing the resignations of at least seven U.S. attorneys is not necessarily scandalous. Presidents may fire U.S. attorneys, and they do so routinely at the beginning of a new administration.

It is unusual to fire U.S. attorneys in mid-term except in cases of gross misconduct, which doesn’t appear to be the case for the forced resignations under discussion. I don’t yet know how often that’s been done. But the larger issue here is not so much the firing (although the firing is an issue) as it is the replacing. The Bush White House appears to have found another way to gut the Constitution and usurp powers that belong to another branch of government.

Since the office of United States Attorney was created by the Judiciary Act of 1789, U.S. attorneys have been subject to Senate confirmation, per the DOJ’s own web site and Article II, Section 2, paragraph 2 of the Constitution:

I dug an article about this episode out of the New York Times archives. On March 24, 1993, Attorney General Janet Reno demanded the resignation of all United States Attorneys. At the time, this prompted accusations from the Right that the Clinton Administration was trying to save the political career of Rep. Dan Rostenkowski. (If that was the plan, it didn’t work.)

In any event, as I recall righties banged their pots and howled something fierce about these firings as part of their campaign to destroy Bill Clinton, even though it was a standard practice for an incoming president to replace U.S. attorneys.

Back in 1993, David Johnston of the Times wrote,

All 93 United States Attorneys knew they would be asked to step down, since all are Republican holdovers, and 16 have resigned so far. But the process generally takes much longer and had usually been carried out without the involvement of the Attorney General.

Battles of the Past

Ms. Reno is under pressure to assert her control over appointments at the Justice Department. She was Mr. Clinton’s third choice for Attorney General and arrived after most of the department’s senior positions were already filled by the White House.

The comments of Ms. Reno and Mr. Stephens evoked the pitched battles of the past, when independent United States Attorneys resisted removal by new administrations.

In 1969, for instance Robert Morgenthau, now the Manhattan District Attorney, resisted efforts by the Nixon Administration to replace him as United States Attor

Excellent, excellent point. Should be required reading for all prospective parents.

When one of my sons was 16 he said “Even if you won the lottery you still wouldn’t buy me a car.” I asked him if he knew why. He said, “yeah, you think it wouldn’t be good for me.” (insert 16-year old’s sneer). Fast forward - second year at university. Called home, said three of six living in their apt had flunked out. I asked why. He said their parents had made it too easy on them.

Taxation without representations? LOL - why do I smell a setup coming? :)

Actually, I think the gov’t does a darn good job of taxing whatever they can, represented or not. I pay a tax on my cell phone that goes to fund a program - that was phased out three years ago. I get taxed by registering my car - and read the tax goes to 26 programs. I pay to build roads - then after they’re built the gov’t converts them to toll roads.

But I have a representative, local and national. I regularly vote for nonincumbents - but nothing changes. Now, there are a lot of folks in this country who don’t have representatives, but they’re taxed. Then again, they also receive services. Then again, they’re not citizens.

It might be better to have representation without taxation. Until I eat some contaminated meat.

There’s also a class of people/organizations who seem to have a bit more representation - they call it access. And they seem to get lower taxation. Hmmmmm. I guess they’ve figured out the difference between a campaign contribution and a bribe.

Paul, I wasn’t trying to bait you…I was just trying to bring up something interesting. This one goes back to King George and the American colonists. We are taught from an early age that taxation without representation is BAD!!!

Yet it is a recurring theme in the United States today. An example here in Atlanta: When they wanted to tear down the Omni to make way for a new Atlanta Hawks venue, the Atlanta City Council didn’t know how to pay for it (since having businessmen pay for it was out of the question). So they decided to issue bonds…unfortunately in order to issue bonds the city needed an income stream to repay that debt. Now the obvious choice was to add a ticket surcharge to each basketball/concert ticket sold. That way the people who used the new venue would pay for it. Unfortunately that option was never on the table.

Instead the City Council decided to add a 5% tax on all rental cars. Of course this primarily affects non-Atlantans. That way very few people who might vote for Councilmembers were affected.

This method is used all over the United States. Mostly in large cities and tourist sites where there may be as many as 4 “surcharges” added to your hotel bill. An easy way to get revenue without irritating voters. That’s one reason why Florida has no state income tax.

Your thoughts…should the Federal government try to get involved?

You are correct - happens many places. You can envy people in NYC or LA. I believe those two places turned down public financing for stadiums (any people out there want to go for “stadia”?).

Houston increased rental car taxes and hotel taxes. Amazing, isn’t it, how people want stuff and they want someone else to pay for it? Even entertainment? Now convention and business travel is down in Houston - I wouldn’t be surprised if it was a net loss. Dallas refused to fund the new Cowboys stadium - the proposal for the car and hotel tax came up, Mary Kay, headquartered there, told the council they’d never hold another convention in Dallas. Council members who wanted the stadium were livid at the “blackmail.”

So a suburb near Ft Worth gave nearly $400 mil - their schools must be fat, dumb and happy. Oh - they’re still the “Dallas” Cowboys.

Fed govt? Not in my book - it’s a local taxation issue. Local folks want to elect reps who do this - oh, well. And since that latest Court ruling on eminent domain (Modori - Goldie - rushncap - any other “Dem good Rep bad” types - check on the majority voters on that one) - just exacerbates the situation, pending further reviews.

Paul…it only gets better. Then some state/county/municipal agency recommends that road construction be outsourced and the investors be allowed to collect tolls. When was the last time you heard of a toll to pay off road bonds being discontinued?

The whole idea of outsourcing is simply incredible. There are so few examples where outsourcing makes economic sense. Shoot, the company performing the work needs to earn at least 20% pre-tax net profit in order to do the work. At least a government agency just needs to “break even”, so to speak. Good oversight and the elimination of waste will bring costs under control (along with employment rules that allow civil servants to be summarily fired for sub-standard performance).

The people who want to outsource government work are either afraid of accepting responsibility, ignorant of business economics, or in cahoots with the businessmen wanting the outsourcing contract.

Might be a function like the entire base engineering function - building, grounds maintenance. Unless the firm is a “native American Eskimo etc) - then there’s no competition and it’s an automatic award.

So all the military are reassigned, civilians are let go (or hired at lower wages) and…. history shows “changes in scope” occur which results in costs in a few years higher than the original. Which always gets funded.

ATLANTA - Unintentional fatal drug overdoses in the United States nearly doubled from 1999 to 2004, overtaking falls to become the nation’s second-leading cause of accidental death, behind automobile crashes, the government reported.

Boy you can sure tell when the neo-puritans come to town. Pill poppers, whorists, and pedophiles make excellent moral relativists. Thank God neo-puritans are a self-correcting phenomenon!

The Danish brothers who admitted baking a puppy to death in a gas oven have been sentenced to 10 years in prison and 10 years probation.

RW, aka “Rick the dick” and “Curly” Danish, were sentenced Friday afternoon to 10 years for burglary and five years for animal cruelty, but the sentences will be served concurrently, not consecutively.

Their elderly aunt, Buy, was sentenced to 15 years in a sanatorium for publicly praising her nephews actions.

On a related note, their neighbor Dusty the Clown was seen cheering them on and waving pom poms and muttering something unintelligible about patriotism.

GOldie cites some Reverend Spitz who no one has ever heard of from some fringe group that no one belongs to called “the Army of God”. Let’s see who I’ve got to prove my point.

LEFTIST HEROES OF THE MAINSTREAM LEFT;

Mumia Abu-Jamal: [Besides Philadelphia, the principal nodes of Mumia support are located in Paris, Hollywood, and San Francisco. Believers include such leftists as Maya Angelou, Ed Asner, Alec Baldwin, Noam Chomsky, Ramsey Clark, Ben Cohen, Angela Davis, Ossie Davis, Roger Ebert, Mike Farrell, Molly Ivins, Mme.Marie-Claire Mendez France, Norman Mailer, Robert Meerepol, Michael Moore, Salman Rushdie, and an endle (http://www.discoverthenetwork.org/individualProfile.asp?indid=1330)

Tookie Williams: In the last 11 years, Tookie got smart and embarked on a massive PR campaign to portray himself as a “redeemed” former gang member, writing children’s books against the gang mentality. In the process, he became the Left’s latest noble savage. Nearly 20 years after being sentenced to murder, Tookie got to meet Winnie Mandela, Louis Farrakhan, and other VIPs; last Monday, Jesse Jackson and Bianca Jagger dropped by the cellblock. Williams was nominated for the 2001 Nobel Peace Prize.

Leonard Peltier: Such groups as Amnesty International, the Southern Christian Leadership Conference, National Congress of American Indians, the Robert F. Kennedy Memorial Center for Human Rights, Archbishop Desmond Tutu and Rev. Jesse Jackson, consider Peltier to be a “political prisoner” who should be released immediately.

By Anti Radical February 9, 2007 06:33 PM Hell Dull, you’re still tryin to wiggle around enough to find out who I really am. Wanker? Anti Radical?

Spammie: Why are you getting all bent because I called you Anti Radical?

Are you trying to ditch that whole Thailand child molester persona?

Get a fresh start as Queen Spammie of Yahoo?

Gary Glitter is a British glam rocker that was arrested and jailed in ‘Nam by your ‘murderous dictators’ for screwin a couple of 10 yr old girls, oh most informed one.

Let me see if I’ve got this right Spammie, it’s a bigger outrage to you that a child molesting pervert got sent to jail than it is that 3 million innocent people were slaughtered by some two bit communist dictator?

Three posts in a row you’ve wailed and tore at your clothes over “Gary Glitter” but the mass murdering communist can do no wrong?

That’s odd, don’t you think Anti Radical?

ZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ.
