{{{{Oil blame game keeps us hooked (Urinal has a drawing of Uncle Sam shooting oil into his veins)}}}}

As I said before, printing this fictional “news” paper, this whining POS rag thee Urinal, is one of the most exorbitant wastes of energy imaginable, not to mention the “greenhouse” gases that it pumps into the atmosphere.

Lead by example, AJC?

Or just scold the rest of us while you carry on wasting and polluting as usual?

Are you serious or are you just whining?

Close up shop, Urinal, put YOUR money where your mouth is.

Precisely on schedule, the usual assortment of right-wing operatives is preparing its expected assault on the Democratic presidential nominee…….The only notable difference this year is that neither the money nor the message has crystallized yet behind any “independent” effort to destroy the candidacy of Barack Obama. Whether such a campaign against him can be mounted effectively remains to be seen, but it will not fail for lack of trying…..This August will mark the publication of the first book-length screed against Mr. Obama, courtesy of Regnery Publishing, the house responsible for the scurrilous smearing of Mr. Kerry between hard covers. At work on the Obama tome is David Freddoso, a young writer from the stable of the National Review, whose byline has also appeared in the ultra-right-wing magazine Human Events and who was reportedly trained by Robert Novak, the conservative “prince of darkness.” His straightforward title is The Case Against Barack Obama……a similar product by Jerome Corsi, one of the authors of Unfit for Command, who has migrated from Regnery to a Simon & Schuster imprint. With somewhat labored cleverness, his book will be titled The Obama Nation, and is likely to posit, among many other implausible claims, that the Illinois senator is under the influence of the defunct Communist Party USA…..Evangelical leader James Dobson has suggested that Mr. Obama is deliberately distorting the meaning of the Bible, which is an unsubtle method of questioning the Democratic candidate’s Christian commitment and raising fears (again) that he is really a Muslim…..Meanwhile Floyd Brown, a right-wing huckster and unabashed promoter of racial fear dating back to the notorious Willie Horton ad of 1988, is back pushing the Muslim theme against Mr. Obama…..And this week the world heard again from Mr. Rove, who raised the old “elitist” trope against Mr. Obama,…. So perhaps Mr. Obama will be portrayed as a Muslim Marxist who hangs out at the country club, sipping cocktails and sneering at the common folk. The true message in that kind of crude, contradictory propaganda is utter contempt for the target audience—in other words, for you.

You know, this is a perfect example of the liberal mind. In one sentence he says Andy shouldn’t be scorned and in the other he spews scorn.

Yet Another Dem-Aligned Outside Group Closes Up Shop By Greg Sargent - June 26, 2008, 10:00AM Another Dem-leaning independent group has now closed up shop: The Fund for America, a group formed in preparation for the 2008 race that raised money from the Democratic Party’s heaviest-hitting donors, including George Soros.

It’s yet another sign of just how rapidly Obama is remaking the Democratic Party machinery in his own image: Fund for America is closing up because the Obama camp signaled to its big money people to stop giving to such groups.

It’s only the latest such organization to follow Obama’s will: Progressive Media USA, the group led by Media Matters’ David Brock, recently announced that it would not be running ads in the general election. And MoveOn recently shuttered its 527, as first reported here.

It’s worth stressing again what a major gamble this is on Obama’s part: In exchange for centralizing control of his message within his campaign, he’s effectively disarmed these big-spending groups, even as the GOP is almost certain to ramp up outside activities on its side. Of course, Obama’s enormously successful fundraising could render that activity moot.

It’ll be so much fun to take the Republicans out to the woodshed in November and just thrash their sorry mossy backed asses.

As I look at history I compare Bush and Cheney to the blood sucking emperors of ancient Rome, who sucked the poor (the vast majority) dry and crushed the little man under their oppression (Jesus is a perfect example of anyone who would challenge their authority or generally “make waves”).

AndiDull is kind of a poor excuse for Judas Iscariot who sold out Jesus to the oppressers.

Let me get this straight. A SC Justice sells stock in Exxon a year ago before the case was brought to the SC and somehow that supports your case that he benefitted from the decision? Please explain how he benefited a year ago from a decision he just made this week.

Lets educuate the perpetually stupid for a moment. (That would be YOU, Truthman). If Exxon had a judgement against them, from a financial position, they would be required to book the loss in the fiscal year the judgement was made. Now, if that judgement is reversed, the company would BENEFIT from it by recouping the loss taken previously. Their stock would go UP, not down. So, if a SC justice were to attempt to benefit from his decision in this matter, he would sell his stock AFTER the decision, not before (a year before in this case).

Unless you’re Truthman, of course. In that case you do the dumbest thing possible at every opportunity.

You’re either lying or stupid, Truthman. Take your pick.
