Good morning, Jim,

Like NCLB, I doubt you and I will ever agree on the contribution of Donald Rumsfeld. While I concede that his “lean, mean, fighting machine” strategy was extremely effective in the initial phases of combat, neither he nor “Georgie” Bush ever realized that Iraq would require a longer occupation than, perhaps, we were willing to do. At any extent, I do not share your optimism for the Rumsfeld legacy.

The more I watch this President, the less I am able to fathom his logic. Likely, if Bush had dismissed Rumsfeld three weeks ago, the Republicans would have retained control of the Senate and would have reduced the margin of victory of the Democrats in the House. Could it be that Karl…Haldeman…(excuse me)… Rove is slipping?

Wonder if Dick Cheney is nervous this morning?

Consider this scenario:

Let’s say that in February, due to the excuse of health reversals, Cheney resigns, and the President, acting under the provisions of the 25th Amendment, nominates Condoleezza Rice for the office of Vice President. The Congress, albeit controlled by the Democrats, would be hard-pressed to deny her the office. That would place her in a strong position to claim the Republican nomination in 2008. The “Condi vs. Hillary” contest may not be that far-fetched!

Ridiculous, you say?

Given “Georgie’s” logic, I wouldn’t be surprised to receive a call from him any day offering me the Secretary of Education position!!!

NOT!

Good morning, all. Hope vacation has gone well Jim. Of all of the interesting and vital topics above, the one that seizes my imagination is the “shooting speeders” US Supreme Court case. I know my conservative friends wince every time I argue for repeal of all traffic laws, especially when I argue that our police should not waste our tax dollars enforcing laws that serve no purpose but to impoverish the population.

Having said that, the sovereign State of Georgia has the right to determine whether our police can use deadly force on speeders. There is no arguable preclusive Federal interest. The Supreme Court should use the case to say that citizens deserve the governments they elect.

History, and military historians, will be kind to Donald Rumsfeld. While Rumsfeld and his generals might, in retrospect, have made different decisions here and there, including Fallujah, his strategy was sound, his insistence that the United States not prepare to be an “occupation” army was wise, and his leadership was just what a nation at war needs

Jim, where are you taking your vacation? NeverEver Land?

The U.S. Supreme Court takes a Georgia case overdue for resolution. At issue is whether police can use deadly force against a fleeing motorist who is suspected only of speeding or driving recklessly. No, they shouldn’t.

Wow, I agree with you!!! It must be snowing in h3ll!!!

Why should police not use deadly force against a fleeing motorist who is suspected of speeding or driving recklessly A motorist is using deadly force every time he starts his car. Speeding and driving recklessly thru traffic are deadly forces no different than someone standing in the mall taking potshots with a gun.

Bicycles and walking are primarily for leisure? Wooten must live in one of those 20th century style clearcut housing projects where it’s 2 or 3 miles to the arterial and then a few more miles to the grocery store.

The reality is that bicycling and walking are the primary modes of transportation on the planet. Motor vehicles are in fashion right now for America but this is not sustainable and shall pass. The cities that are prepared for when bicycling and walking are again the primary modes of transportation (in conjunction with a good subway system) are the ones that shall thrive. The sprawl cities like Atlanta are going to die on the vine like their morbidly obese citizens who drive to their own mailboxes and snack the whole way.

Sonny’s “Joy in Cooked Books” is a big hit in Georgia.

The old south, gerrymandered by slavery, is still casting shadows on an electoral map. We have a great future.

Rummy made the general mistake of coveting an army he could not have.

Haggart made the cardinal mistake of coveting an ask and tell for which he’ll bask in hell.

Eulogy for the fallen Neo-cons: “Let us not make more out of them in exile than they were in power. They saw war and rubber stamped it. They saw a surplus and spent it. They took the secular and made it sacred.”

Jim,

I agree with you about Rumsfeld. The man has given almost his entire life to public service. So what thanks does he get? Mostly a stab in the back. His many accomplishments are ignored. His so-called mistakes are flown like banners. Military deaths are blamed on Rumsfeld while the honor of those who died is celebrated by cartoons, accusations and doubt about our fight against terrorism.

Those who sit in their armchairs “throwing stones” at Rumsfeld can only do so if they are perfect themselves. Rumsfeld was doing what he thought was best. Much of the time he was right.

Rumsfield’s imcompetent insistence that our Army Not be an Army of occupation is what is driving the morass in Iraq. History will be neither kind nor forgiving to his blindness of the reality of the war he prosecuted. He will be the McNamara of our times. Maybe in a few years he too will come out with a feeble apology for his actions. But I doubt it.

RUMIE’S PENSION

“Thanks for coming Don”

“Always a pleasure Mister President. Do I detect some apprehension? Probably it is my state of mind. You know, retired people are always fearful of pension plans, health care, mortgages, taxes, etc. Now, what do you want?’

“Well, it is the pension arrangements that I want to talk about”

“What about them?”

“We are going to have to cut back on a few things. With the new team in charge, we are no longer free to grant special benefits to our loyal collaborators. We are dropping the Iraq Premium of six million a year, then the Pentagon Retirement Subsidies of nine million dollars. As Secretary of defense, you lose the Hummer, the Jag, the Chrysler, the Cadillac and the Sedwick along with the 4 million dollars a year expense allowance. The Energy Department has withdrawn its offer to contribute 10 million dollars a year to your fund”

“So, what the hell am I left with?”

“How about a new job? We have some guard openings in Guantanamo”

“George cut the BS. You sound like a freshman on his first date. You better come clean or I’ll talk to Mother Barbara”

Jim, I know you love the car but some of us do spend a lot of time getting around on our feet or on a bike and not for leisure…I often bike commute to my job…bike lanes that exist at all are a joke…they go about 200 meters and just end. I really don’t see why you cling so tenaciously to an automobile only culture…are you afraid any non-car culture will turn Atlanta into some sissy eurotrash-like city? Being conservative is one thing but you often sound just like an old curmudgeon.

The general dominance of Republicans in the South in the face of sweeping Democratic victories elsewhere points to a long-existing trend: the South has never conformed to the rest of the nation, and it never will.

We have a population that is still fighting the Civil War—a population that looks backward for guidance. In most cultural indicators, the South holds fiercely to the traditions outlined in Cash’s landmark work The Mind of the South. Last to integrate, first in line to administer the death penalty, resentful of governmental efforts to alleviate poverty—these are just a few of the differences the region has with the rest of the nation. The old license plate that reads “Fergit hell!” is still applicable.

Perhaps it is a good thing to have Republicanism confined to a regional enclave. In that way, the more pernicious effects of the party’s governing philosophy are mitigated.

The South will not change, except in major urban areas. It is pointless for Democrats to run candidates for any of the major state offices. In the future, the Democratic party ought to focus efforts on the rest of the nation. Let the South lag behind, as it always has. And make sure that national funds are not allocated to support its backwardness.

In many ways, Pope-al Queda’s observations about the region are accurate, if somewhat exaggerated. We ought to give up on any pretense that the South will ever conform to national trends. It never has changed fundamentally, and it never will.

Curious Observer,

You lag so far behind in the times, that it is almost incredible. The South has always been a place of charm, intelligence and strong convictions. Many immigrants head for the South because they know they have a better chance of fairness in opportunity here. They prefer what the South has to offer over the ghettos and hidden discrimination in other parts of the country.

Pick and choose your books that do not reflect well on the South. The fact is you can find books making unpleasant claims about almost any part of our country if you look for them.

The South overcame with great travesty it’s earlier problems. It came out better, clearer in its convictions and a great place to live. We only smile politely over those who blindly make false assumptions in retrospect and don’t see the shining future of the South.

wattaload,

Right on…Jim’s pretty shortsighted.

I ride my bike to a bus stop, take that bus to arts center, take the train to work, then take the train back to arts center and ride home. Usually stop by the grocery store on the way home and pick up dinner. Each trip takes 45 minutes. If the weather’s bad I drive to Lindbergh and park, then take the train from there. Haven’t been on an interstate in months, and haven’t started my car in over a week.

On the crappiest, snowiest, darkest, wettest, holiday rush-hour, my commute would be 45 minutes, desk to couch, tops.

Driving is for suckers. Let them eat cake. I love seeing traffic backed up on 285 and 400. Love it.

Dusty much of what you say about the South has merit but I think you attribute strong convictions with what I would call a tendency toward “group think” which gives the rest of the nation the view of the south that Curious Observer has “observed” as close mindedness. And with the exception of Atlanta, the south still has the reputation as being backward, whether earned or not.

Oh, and get this…

The traffic is sooo bad up where I work that my company pays for my monthly marta card, and a coalition of local businesses associated with the clean air campaign pays me to ride my bike. Those two things, plus the gas I save not driving 25 miles a day plus the money I save not joining a fitness club (i’m riding my bike every day) comes out to about $200 a month.

If I charged myself $10 an hour for the time I’m saving not sitting in traffic and the wear and tear on my truck, that number is easily $300 a month.

I’m interested to hear some negative loudmouth smack about that.

Of course, Jim’s dirty little secret here is that he probably makes enough money to either live close enough to work to not have drive much (Morningside Jim? Inman Park, perhaps?), or he just works from home.

Most folks don’t have that luxury Jim. They’ve gotta sit in that stinky traffic, eating up their days and running up their blood pressure.

J. Lewis is a nasty black bigot, and so are the other two black bigoted cronies who made that shameful vile racebaiting radio ad for a meaningless local race. I am sick and tired of the nauseating utterly blinkered pandering Lewis still enjoys. Undeniably his LONG AGO stand against racial oppression is worthy of great respect -but when he behaves like a thuggish racebaiting black KKK scumbag and openly defies every one to call him on his lies and sick racism/bigotry and almost no one does. This is a truly disgusting moral and political sickness and shows whites and the rest of us exactly the kind of racism/bigotry so many blacks and their leaders still eagerly perpetrate and unquestioningly subscribe to.

The blatant racial pandering in the AJC’s “story” on this is little more than a mealy mouthed token neutral commentary. The AJC wont robustly and legitimately criticise one of their black heroes because of their slavish (circulation losing) multicultural black pandering. There is NOT the tiniest, slightest grain of truth to Lewis’ lies, and anti-white racism. Contrast this with the outrage and hysterical finger pointing when whites use factually correct and legitimate “stereotypes” about whites. The “stereotypical” imagery and rhetoric Lewis used is thankfully now from two generations ago and will never return.

Lewis despicably uses his now increasingly ancient past to ‘innoculate’ himself from any criticism - that shows how weak, spiteful and hateful the man really is!!

YOU’RE A NASTY BLACK BIGOT JOHN LEWIS …. deep shame on you

Now watch the vile pathetic racial panderers dredge up Lewis’ past to justify lies and sick racism 40/50 years later.

Ritalin Debbie is right - this lady who was forced to defend herself and her kids from this animal is the hero of the day - unlike a certain black bigot hero of many many yesterdays ago now.

Bush is now deservedly a lame duck. His pathetic moronic handling of the election campaign and afterwards has handed a needless, but happily far from irreversible (temporary) advantge back to the cut and run scum. THE HILARIOUS - HUGELY AMUSING DAMN FUNNY thing about this though is that the leftist congressional vermin, most of whom campaigned about Iraq and how best to cut and run are now faced with the reality that their liberal heroes are hitting them them with the stark reality that there will be NO cutting and running. NO withdrawal date, NO immediate retreat etc - which is what most far leftist wankers obsessively demanded and expected.

HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA … still LMFAO!!

At least Sonny’s magnificent effortless reelection will shortly rid Dixie of rednekkks NAMBLA - or was this execrable human scum just lying again? Like all those cowardly neo-com Hollywood liars who said they’d leave for Europe when Bush won and was reelected. Rednekkks lies like a Klinton!!

BYE BYE REDNEKKKS … NOT!! …huge expose the leftist liars smirk

Harold’s insane ever more deranged obsession with cars is very pleasing. How the hell does the eco nutter harold expext folks will get around to their jobs/families/schools/shopping/leisure activities? Walking - bicycling? Yeah right … folks will happily walk or cycle from kennesaw/canton/rockdale/douglasville etc to the perimeter or butthead every day to work. Everyone should be made to cycle 10-20-30 miles or more one way for their commute. Especially in the GA rain and storms. Plus the joys of sharing the (cycle lane) road with the all the lorries and out of state traffic passing through to and from FL etc would be a total pleasure.

There is no “group” think in the South. That is why we are so distinguished. We can think for ourselves and that is very irritating to those who want to tell us how to think.

I don’t care what “others” say. If they want to look down on one part of the country, I dare say their own is not perfect. It isn’t “group” think. It is clear observation, as I have lived in other parts of the country which were nice, but I am here where I want to be, the South.

Who are you kidding? The 8th and 12th districts were redrawn specifically to elect republicans. The incumbent’s hometowns were drawn out of the districts to increase the chance of electing republicans. The fact that republicans weren’t elected is further proof of how incompetently this entire adminstation has performed.

Nothing is going to change in Washington except the names of the thieves who are robbing this country blind. Izrael will continue to collect it’s ten plus billion dollars of american tax dollars per year(every cent of which is borrowed by uncle stupid), the systematic murder of Arabs will continue in the name of democracy and freedom, and the plans for oil, water, and electric pipelines to Izrael from Turkey and Kurdland will be fully funded by the new Congress. The day the american dollar dies will draw closer, in large part because of the pro izrael lobby and the half trillion american tax dollars that have been borrowed by the treasure over the last 50 odd years that have been given to izrael. You can add another half trillion dollars for the neo-con sponsored pro-izrael invasion and occupation of Iraq. If the neo-scum also attack Iran, add in another trillion dollars, and just maybe the death of the dollar in foreign exchange markets.

in all seriousness you’re a complete idiot harold … who the hell would cycle - EVERY DAY or even most days - from say Canton to the perimeter, or other simliar distances? Its a long long bike ride - up hill in many places. Its not just a question of “speed” - it is entirely a question practicalities. It would NOT take just 30 mins from Canton to I-285 - and then more miles down to your office or wherever. Very few ordinary bikes and riders are capable of doing that day in day out - let alone willing - you’d have to be fairly young and pretty fit to even try and have a very light cycle and cycle clothing … and in 100.F+ heat/sun in the summer late afternoon on the way back - with all the fumes … DREAM ON HAROLD!!

Bush defines our mission and victory in Iraq as: “A free, self-governing Iraq that can sustain and defend itself with it’s own police and army”.

Bush’s very definition of victory in Iraq equals genocide in Shia Minds.

Democratically elected Shia Leaders have their own, “Sunni Do List”.

They’ll do the Sunnis alright.

Our elected majority has a Speaker. (elocution). The Iraqi’s elected majority has a Reaper. (execution)

This is what Baker will say: that we must allow the Shia Majority to ethnically cleanse the Sunni Minority or we must repartition Iraq into Three New Countries. Of course our incompetent handling of THAT will cause WW4, but who’s counting?

I tried to join the military and do my duty twice. I applied to the Air Force in 1974 and 1979. Both times, even though I was two seconds from joining, the deal fell through.

In 1974, I just sat down at a recruiter’s desk and said, “Where do I sign?” The recruiter, smelling a liberal hippie drop out loser, started the interview with, “How many parking tickets do you have outstanding?” None. “How many speeding tickets have you had in the past two years?” None. “Have you ever smoked marijuana?” Well, I was surprised, and with the detailed questions about my driving record, I felt that I couldn’t answer the question, and I retorted, “I understand, you cant have your officers smoking dope.” I got up and left. I found out later that the Air Force in 1974 was a Bong with Wings.

In 1979, I took the application test where the Air Force tries to measure your general aptitude. The recruiter said that he’d never ever seen a higher score than mine. I told my brother, who was in the air force, and he said they say that to all the ‘tards. I was crushed so I didn’t show up for the swear-in. I still cant go within 500 miles of Lackland Air Force Base in San Antonio Texas, or I end up in Gitmo.

Somebody is still drinking the Bush kool-aid, even though Bush isn’t making it anymore. Don’t look now Wooten, but it ain’t kool-aid your drinking. It’s p-i-s-s as it passes out of the nation’s system.

Seriously, how could anyone think Rumsfeld did anything that he should be remembered for in a positive light? Maybe he did some things to modernize the military, but as a leader and strategist, he was a hack. As far as I’m concerned, Bush, Cheney, Rumsfeld et al will be ridiculed as fools in historical terms. Not only for their poor decisions, but how they constantly mocked anyone with a differing opinion on the war, including some of their own colleagues, like Colin Powell. No Wooten, Rumsfeld was no leader, and neither is Bush or Dick. And you’re a fool too.

Gore never used a Willie Horton ad, first or at all; the republicans did. This is history — the republicans have already admitted to doing it and why.

Shirley Jackson: Is GOOD for Atlanta. She’s the only elected mayor in the past 20 years who really cared about the city enough to want to fix its problems and not pass it on to the next guy. Now according to the AJC article she says,(paraphrased), “Yeah, I said it and I stand by it”; which is more than any politician has ever done. So let’s move on. She’s not going to apologize — she’s not ashamed by what she said.

Some say it’s race baiting, I personally did not like the ad, but, since I don’t live or vote in Fulton county; (which I bet some of you don’t either), I’m not going to let it bother me. Race baiting in poltics go hand in hand.

Here’s what we should do in Iraq:

1) Kill Moqtada al Sadr (I’m sure it is misspelled). He is the biggest thorn in the side of peace in Iraq. His militias are the ones doing the ethnic cleansing of Sunnis in Baghdad. The Malaki government won’t do anything about him, in fact they’ve told the US, hands off. But the Sunnis will never negotiate in good faith with this Shia led government as long as it condones al Sadr’s actions. The US military should kill him and try to weaken his militias in the process. Malaki will throw a fit and tell us to leave. But that’s what we want to do anyway, so who cares. But we will have left a situation that is more plyable to a settlement.

2) Reduce the footprint of American soldiers in Iraq, leaving only strategic forces, special ops, logistical help, to aid the Iraqi army. Offer them air support as well for Iraqi army operations. Obviously this can’t be done overnight, but on a reasonable and safe timetable.

• The president’s right. It was a thumping. Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid. House Speaker Nancy Pelosi. It hurts. But I am old enough to remember the gloom that descended on Georgia in the days after Lester Maddox was elected governor. And those were the darkest. He was a decent governor. Georgia survived. Conservatives will, too. – I remember the day W took office….it felt much the same as when Maddox took the governorship, except Maddox was probably a better student than W. • Dark days for Republicans nationally, dark for Democrats in Georgia. - Better the few suffer than the many. • History, and military historians, will be kind to Donald Rumsfeld. While Rumsfeld and his generals might, in retrospect, have made different decisions here and there, including Fallujah, his strategy was sound, his insistence that the United States not prepare to be an “occupation” army was wise, and his leadership was just what a nation at war needs. – How can his leadership be just what the nation needed? Even the generals have been complaining about his lack of planning and reality. The first issue we should never have been in Fallujah, Baghdad, etc. at all. If we were we should have had a plan to win the peace as well as the war. It really is not that complicated. As much money as we have pumped into Haliburton, if we gave each man, woman, and child $50,000 and said go build a new life for yourself…they would be the most welcoming people we’ve ever seen, and we probably would have saved ourselves money. The money from their oil fields should rebuild their country infrastructure (not that Haliburton has a done much of a job with that). You mention he insisted we not prepare for an occupation…his boss said we would be there for years to come and would not rule out a permanent base. How is that not occupation?

Brief history lesson: There is no hard evidence, such as interviews or position papers, to indicate that Gore ever mentioned Willie Horton. Gore asked Dukakis whether or not he would extend Massachusetts-style furloughs to the federal level.

(2) Lee Atwater asked aide Jim Pinkerton for negative research to defeat Dukakis. The ad was produced by media consultant Larry McCarthy, who had previously worked for Roger Ailes. After clearing the ad with television stations, McCarthy went back and added a menacing mug shot of Horton, who is African-American. He called the image “every suburban mother’s greatest fear.”

(3) Ken Mehlman, went down to the NAACP in July of 2005 and apologized for the southern strategy of Republican candidates under Richard Nixon and using race as a wedge issue and that this ad does exactly that

(4)The ad tried to stoke subliminal racist fears of black men touching the white daughters of the South.

Van @12:38 “Willie Horton was first used by Al Gore against Dukakis in the primaries in ‘88.”

jbmlaw @12:41 “Al Gore ran the Willie Horton ads long before GHW Bush.”

jbmlaw @12:52 “Dear Van, you are faster on the draw than I. I salute.”

Van @2:28 “You mean Al Gore did not bring up the furlough program during their debates? I wasn’t talking about the ad, just the stigma of the failed program.”

Van,

Your 12:28 was misleading (jbmlaw’s post was a lie). Al Gore never showed anybody a picture of a scary looking black man. Your 2:28 was closer to the truth. Al Gore did criticize the furlough program in ONE debate (not “debates”).

Thanks for your half-a* attempt to correct your misrepresentation. I salute.

CJ,

My first entry was 100%. Al Gore brought up the failed program to bring the tragety that Willie Horton created while taking a few days off.

Good old Al was smart enough not to make a specific reference, leaving Mickey with little or no room to defend the program.

This little reference was all that was needed to open the best negetive ad campaign.

Rumsfeld is a war criminal, as sure and Ribbentraub, Goering, Goebbles and the other accused Nazis at Nuremburg. So is Bush, Cheney, Rice, and most of the administration. Add to that every soldier who “followed orders” and invaded the sovereign nation of Iraq without a constitutional declaration of war.

No, history will not be kind, nor should it be. The worst part is that Bush has likely already pardoned him in this country. Here, he should be stripped of his citizenship and shipped off to the Hague to await trial.

In 2008 we can ship the rest.

Jim,

A mere three days under your new liberal overlords and you go all soft like a woman who missed the latest segment of Oprah. Is this the onset of Vichy Journalism!?!?!?

Of course the police have the right to use deadly force on a fleeing suspect. This stands no matter how “trivial” the alleged offense. Because clearly, no one would run if they did not have something bigger to hide. It is simple logic to recognize that the people the police kill in such a situation could very likely be terrorists that could potentially kill your children as they sleep or plant explosives in the Tifton Agricultural Exposition and Local Pork Tribute Museum. Why, sir, do you wish to undermine our precious American freedoms?

While you are correct in noting that Commandant Rumsfeld will, in hindsight, be rankes with such warrior lumnaries as Lao Tsu, Clausewitz, and Klink, your creeping bedwetterism regarding the necessary codification and enshrinement of the right of police to eliminate terrorists and traffic scofflaws makes me wonder when the name of this column will change to “Thinking Whichever Way the Wind Blows: Please Let Me Keep My Cushy Job”.

I suggest we hire a special prosecutor to go on a multi-million-dollar fishing expedition, digging into everything GWB has ever done, anywhere, including failed business deals back in Texas.

And then, if he doesn’t turn up anything, we spend several more years on digging until he hits on some actual criminal act—like, oh, let’s say everything to do with Iraq.

Doesn’t that sound fair? I know it’s a valid use of taxpayer money and government resources, because the Republicans have already approved it.

Okay, Jim, the Captain was a bit too hard on you in the last post. I note that you find the spectre of Pelosi painful. I have to agree.

This woman has clearly exceeded the legal limit for facelifts. It is just plain gross. Ann Coulter (she who is delightfully winsome and hither come yon) is right — liberal “women” are just plain ugly, while our own Babes of True Belief are in fact hotties that threaten to disrupt the legilative process with their hottitude.

A short list will suffice to send all Right Thinking Americans scurrying for the hand lotion or a cold shower. To wit….Kay Bailey Hutchinson. Elizabeth Dole. Jean Schmidt. Laura “Pickles” Bush. Lynne Cheney. And my very favorite, Katherine “Pink Sugar” Harris, who alas has been sent packing by the ingrate liberal non-Christians of Florida. She will always have a place in my heart.

Katie…call me.

Sure, some might prefer the more overt sexuality of someone like Dr. Laura Schlesinger, but her exposed beaver performances leave nothing to the imagination. I prefer to spend time thinking about the more modest flowers of femininity, like Karen Handel, Linda Schrenko, and Ralph Reed.

Jim: No offense, but I don’t see anything I’d like to comment on. Some is water under the bridge and the rest is Atlanta politics, which doesn’t really affect me directly.

I’ll do the cookbook and add what I think is GREAT news if proven true.

I’m feeling a little nostalgic from your paperboy column the other day. Soooo…My daughter hasn’t been out of high school long, but during the time that she was living at home, I thought family dinner time was important. A hot, full-course meal same time everyday.

First it was a boyfriend that joined us every night for dinner, then it was a couple of his friends, and a couple more. Before I knew it I was feeding, at least three teenage boys every night in addition to my family.

It got to be costly and the husband didn’t like all those teenage boys around, but I couldn’t stop. Why?

Because they didn’t have family time or home-cooked meals at their house. Two of them still stop by when they’re home from college asking “What’s for supper?”

Since the daughter is in college, my husband wants to know “whats with the pasta salads and sandwiches?”

My response, I’m waiting for my boys to drop by.

Good news!!! I’ve heard that Michael Steele of Maryland has been asked to chair the RNC. I’m a big fan.

I sure hope they don’t call him a token. That would be ooohhh soooo wrong.

Rumsfeld was a superior Secretary of Defense and should be lauded for his excellent work in this most critical period! All the democrats and media idealogs should be chastised for their constant babble about things to which they have no clue! The only semblence to Viet Nam is the constant liberal socialist banter that will not let the military do it’s job! Soldiers are trained to break things and kill people, not to be social workers or political hacks! If the liberal, socialist, flower child and hippie leftovers from the 60’s would shut their ridiculous mouths, this situation could be brought to a conclusion in a matter of months! Same would have happened in Viet Nam and Korea! If Iran, Syria, North Korea and even China and Russia continue to be part of the problem and not part of the solution, deal with them also!

Rumsfeld’s gaff, “you go with the army you have, not the one you want”, was a real put down and a barely-veiled threat to the soldier who complained about the fragile humvees he nearly got killed in.

Rumsfeld basically told him that he was a worthless pos, not nearly as good as the legendary legends in Rummy’s mind, and to sit down and stfu.

I would have fired Rummy right there. Rummy saw Patton 476 times, (true), and thinks soldiers should be cannon fodder and not heard.

Then in the last year, Rummy’s answers to the press were arrogant and sociopathically combative. He had plenty to do with the electoral route. He infuriated the American people. Ditto Rush. Ditto Cheney. Ditto Hastert. Bush was seen as a child, ultimately, who lies about sneaking cookies.

Rummy should go fishin’, although he wont take near enough bait, just like Iraq. He thinks soldiers are bait. “Private, you drive this vehicle down that road to see if there’s any IEDs”.

There’s bumper-sticker think in Georgia. There’s herd mentality on our highways. We drive in packs. We approach the rear of other cars as if we’re horny gnus looking to assert our hard-won alpha male priveleges in siring inbred-hybrids.

In 1896, there were 2 cars in the state of Indiana, and they collided. (true) (I think they were ‘73 Plymouth Belvedeers)

Traffic control experts say that if we would spread out, and only do the posted limit, then traffic jams would be very rare. But it’s our tendency to race each other to red lights and other stopped traffic that kills the flow. It takes much longer to stop and go than it does to just go slow.

Drive 316 to Athens, where there are traffic lights on a 65mph highway and plenty of cross traffic access. If you pace yourself, you hardly have to stop at any of the red lights, and are well prepared for the random incursion by daredevil cross traffic.

People are idiots. Lets face it, we are idiots. All of us. Every single one. idiots. We know it. We are convinced. Our persuasion is reinforced every single time we drive: people are idiots.

40K idiots are killed each year on the highway.

I agree with you Wooten. Rumsfeld was a new age thinker when it came to our military and the way they operate. More troops may have made the difference but then we were trying to avoid the impression of occupation.

With Arab leaders predicting the outcome of a withdrawal and warning against it, I’m hoping that one out of three will hold, but the other two could have a grave impact on the one.

Forget impeaching GW or Cheney. They are largely irrelevant. Oh, GW will wield his veto pen to avoid allowing the government to negotiate Medicare drug prices with his campaign-funding buddies of the pharmaceutical industry. After all, why alienate the drug companies when you can just screw the American taxpayers? And he’ll continue to send the names of fascist judges for nominations to the higher courts, for James Dobson, Jerry Falwell, and the other theocrats must be mollified.

The new Democratic Congress ought to be wary of launching endless investigations and otherwise giving the appearance of being just like their Republican confreres. The voters sent a message on Tuesday. They want a Congress that takes action on important issues and earns its pay, not one that works a three-day week, issues talking points, and then goes home to raise campaign funds.

An effort to impeach the President and/or the VP would be the most stupid thing the new Congress could do. Leave GW and Cheney alone to ferment in the cesspool of their incompetence. The small bit of satisfaction derived from a desire for revenge is hardly worth the sacrifice of turning Congress back to the control of the Republicans in 2008. If the Democrats cannot demonstrate a greater sense of resolve and purpose than the Republicans they replaced, they will not be in power long.

Well I see the usual suspect libofreaks aren’t far from the gutter leaf debris this morning. Oh well, here’s my Veteran’s Day tribute:

My fellow Americans, what we witnessed last Tuesday was a change in American politics. It wasn’t a change as sweeping as Gingrich’s 1994 Conservative Republican Revolution (not the least of which because Bush has acted like a liberal democRAT and sucking up to the POSs), but it was a change nonetheless.

I would like to call your attention to who we have in control of the House and (narrowly) the Senate right now:

These are the people who hate traditional America.

These are the people who are ashamed of America.

These are the people who are ashamed that America is strong in the world’s eye, both economically and militarily.

These are the people who don’t believe in a strong military and believe that the UN should be the ultimate authority to world issues, from nuclear prohibition to feeding starving children in Africa.

These are the people, or at the very least, the people who support these people, spat upon our soldiers as they returned from Vietnam and called them baby killers, murderers, and rapists (as John effin’ Kerry said 35 years ago and as Dick “Turban” Durbin said 2 years ago about our Iraqi soldiers).

These are the people who hate the military industrial complex and want to see it dismantled.

These are the people who want to cancel technological evolutionary advances such as the F-22 Raptor program and don’t think we need such advances for future insurance and commitment to national security.

These are the people who don’t think we need to have a strong military, yet b!tch when we don’t give our troops enough when the other side is in power.

These are the predecessors of the people who damn near cost us WWII early on with a lethargic and complacent attitude that the world’s conflicts would never make it to our shores and we shouldn’t be so “scared” of Hitler and Hirohito.

These are the people who sat on their @sses worried about more critical things like the TVA and giving Robert KKK Byrd in WV a job digging ditches in the mid-late 1930s instead of teaching BillyBob a skill to update things like a military aircraft inventory that was still largely comprised of biplanes with fabric wings (that Rosie The Riverter ultimately had to do because the men were all off fighting the war[s] we weren’t going to have).

These are the people, and their followers, who didn’t give a damn about military service in the 1960s, 1970s, 1980s, and especially the 1990s when one of their draft-dodgers went up against a WWII Navy pilot hero for president.

So ladies and gentlemen who care about America’s future and security, honored red-blooded Veterans who aren’t ashamed of America’s might and potential to project power anywhere, anytime, I’d like to close with one final thought on who we have in (narrow) power in Congress starting next January:

Ultimately, these are the people who our enemies, the islamofascist terrorist pigs from hell, are 100% supporting to be in charge of America’s future. Look no further than these bastards’ reaction to Tuesday’s results.

There is one small caviar: Diebold may have swung the election the other way on purpose. Why? It’s possible that they want to blame the democrats for what they know is about to happen: another terrorist attack that will make 911 seem like a 411 call made from inside a 7-11.

This would prove that Iraq was a diversion from our war on terror. Why didn’t we secure the victory in Afghanistan? If the answer is because that’s impossible given the geo-political situation on the Border with Pakistan, then there is no hope, Al Queda will live forever.

The report out of Britain that there are 6 serious terror-plots coming to fruition is alarming. Al Queda is directing the terrorists from Pakistan’s border region, where apparently no army can go, given the topography.

This brings up W’s failure to nab OBL when we had the chance. Who failed us? Oh yeah! Rummy dragged his feet after the CIA’s initial foray into Afghanistan (2002) had an unsuspecting Osama and his army located. Rummy wanted to be boss. W chose the CIA to run things, and Rummy wouldn’t co-operate by sending any troops to attack Osama until W relented ten weeks later. All that time was lost by a traitor: Rummy.

True. Facts. It happened. Rummy is a traitor. Traitors are defined by their actions, not their spin. Rummy failed to defend this country over a spoiled brat mentality that he wouldn’t obey orders from the commander in chief (in time of war: treason) until he got 2B the boss.

This is all documented fact. Oh, we’re going to get the gang of four: W/cheney/rove/rummy.

The gang of four are like fraternity bullies whose prank went awry and someone got killed. Now they’re all, “Huh? We didnt’ do nuthin”.

Spazman, my grandfather slaughtered Storm Troopers, but I never mention that here when all you asshats on the left talk about demoncat military service like John “scratch-n-sniff purple heart” effin’ Kerry.

Spazman, when are you tinfoil asshats on the left going to realize that an attack on YOUR PRINCIPLES is NOT an attack on any military service? Grow up, RAT.

The Right has become completely unhinged by the American People’s mandate to congress.

It gives liberals no joy to see the Neo-Newts succumb to the rabid fruition of neuropathological decay.

There’s nothing left of them. Hell, they aint even there.

And I think it’s a damn shame.

BTW: how funny is it to see Newt find a flotsam after he jumped ship? He’s firing away at his own ghost. You cant write weasel-speak like that. It has to happen. I’m going to miss Newt when he finally goes too far and the right stuffs him in a museum.

Al Qaeda internet audio clip boasts of 12,000 terror ‘troops’

I believe this is completely true.

I believe this because some crazy in Iraq said it, and it was posted on the Internet, and the Internet never lies.

If this crazy said he had planted nukes in every US city, and it was on the Internet, I would believe it because it’s on the Internet so it must be true.

And finally… I believe it because Markus and Cut and Run say it’s true and just like the Internet, they never lie.

I also believe that George Bush is a visionary, Dick Cheney is altruistic, Don Rumsfeld’s concern for the troops was genuine and Santa lives at the North Pole.

“1) Republican trolls who wrap up their anonymous and incomprehensible criticisms of progressives with the phrase, “and that’s why your party never wins,” need to shut the f* up.

2) The cowards who so easily disregard our liberties by shrugging off the president’s illegal wiretapping; the cowards who shrug off the Military Commissions Act and the death of habeas corpus; and the cowards who shrug off torture with the phrases, “I’m not doing anything wrong, so I have nothing to worry about,” or, “You can’t [blank] if you’re dead,” ought to shut the f* up.

3) Anyone who still believes that global warming is a myth? Shut the f* up.

4) Rush Limbaugh must shut the f* up. On second thought, strike that. The more we see Violet Beauregard flapping his arms and mocking Parkinson’s patients, the better off the rest of the nation will be.

5) In Ann Coulter’s latest column, he wondered when the Democrats would be fitting Senator-Elect Jon Tester with a “leotard.” Speaking of tards, Mr. Coulter needs to shut the f* up. And this order stands for anyone who claims Senator-Elect Tester is a “conservative Democrat.” He could very well be the face of the New Progressive Democrat and one of the most genuine lawmakers elected Tuesday. Prediction: if he isn’t already, Tester will quickly become a rock star in this party.

6) I think it was Bill Maher who mentioned this but it stands repeating here: neocons who have made multiple rosy predictions about Iraq need to shut the f* up and are forthwith banned from making any more predictions.

7) Sean Hannity, Bill O’Reilly and other homophobes who use the “San Francisco Liberal” label for Speaker-Elect Pelosi must… you know. We all understand that it’s right-wing code language meaning “homo-values.” If that’s what you mean, just say it. That is, unless you’re not man enough.

8) If you still believe that Karl Rove is a genius, wizard, architect or anything short of overrated, you must shut the f* up. One popular vote loss, one win, one near loss to a disorganized opponent and one outright loss means one thing and one thing only: mediocrity. Racking up this kind of record by means of dirty tricks, race-baiting and questioning the patriotism of decorated war veterans makes Rove a mediocre hack at best.

9) Ed Gillespie, the man who’s just a neck with a mouth, is officially ordered for the last time to shut the f* up.

10) The devilish wordsmiths who think it’s strategic and clever to refer to the Democratic Party as the “Democrat Party” need to stop it. Shut the f* up. The official name of the party is the Democratic Party, with the “ic” at the end. Yeah, I know. Newt Gingrich and Frank Luntz invented the idea of saying “Democrat Party” or “the Democrat leadership” or “the Democrat voters” in order to emphasize the “rat” syllable, leaving a rat-like subliminal hint in the minds of listeners. President Bush, in his so-called “conciliatory” press conference Wednesday, used this incorrect pronunciation several times.

“And while the ballots are still being counted in the Senate, it is clear the Democrat Party had a good night last night, and I congratulate them on their victories.” “This morning I spoke with Republican and Democrat leadership in the House and Senate.”

“…we’ll begin consultations with the Democrat leadership starting Thursday and Friday.”

“…and now work with Democrat leaders in the Congress because they control the committees and they control the flow of bills.”

“We got some tax cuts passed with Democrat votes.”

11) And finally… Mr. President. Saying that you’re going to work with Congress and compromise for the sake of the nation doesn’t mean shoving your unconstitutional Terrorist Surveillance Act and your bellicose anti-U.N. U.N. ambassador through a lame duck session. So if you don’t really intend to be bipartisan, then shut the f* up. You pride yourself on letting people know exactly where you stand and, despite the fact that you routinely stand on dangerous principles, there’s at least some cold comfort in knowing what you’re up to. But it’s clear that that President Bush is long gone — replaced by a man who can’t even be honest with his own base about things like the Iraq War, subsequently leaving his allies alone, confused and scrambling to assuage the anger of an increasingly hostile constituency.”

I believe that the Democrats in Congress have agreed on an immediate or swift Iraq pullout, and they have the awesome power to do just that, no matter what our President and Pentagon say.

Will it happen before Thanksgiving or before Christmas? Just asking.

Oh well. If you say it, it must be true. I read it right here.

But I’m confused. If they’re posing as cut and run liars, does that mean they really oppose cut and run? Does that mean they really favor “stay the course”? And if so, is this promise just because our President says he’s never said stay the course, even though he has? And if they’re posing as liars, does that mean they’re telling the truth? I mean, except about the lying part?

An elderly conservative congresswoman will be unable to make it down those big old Capitol steps, and a young liberal congressman will come by and pick her up in his arms and carry her.

As it is, we’re in a very dark place right now. It has been a long time since America unambiguously won a war, and to choose to lose Iraq would be an act of such parochial self-indulgence that the American moment would not endure, and would not deserve to. Europe is becoming semi-Muslim, Third World basket-case states are going nuclear, and, for all that 40 percent of planetary military spending, America can’t muster the will to take on pipsqueak enemies. We think we can just call off the game early, and go back home and watch TV. It doesn’t work like that. Whatever it started out as, Iraq is a test of American seriousness. And, if the Great Satan can’t win in Vietnam or Iraq, where can it win? That’s how China, Russia, Iran, North Korea, Sudan, Venezuela and a whole lot of others look at it. “These Colors Don’t Run” is a fine T-shirt slogan, but in reality these colors have spent 40 years running from the jungles of Southeast Asia, the helicopters in the Persian desert, the streets of Mogadishu. … To add the sands of Mesopotamia to the list will be an act of weakness from which America will never recover.

History, and military historians, will be kind to Donald Rumsfeld. While Rumsfeld and his generals might, in retrospect, have made different decisions here and there, including Fallujah, his strategy was sound, his insistence that the United States not prepare to be an “occupation” army was wise, and his leadership was just what a nation at war needs

If we were not able to be an army of occupation, why did we invade another country? Sounds like Rumsfeld was arguing against invasion.

Shock and Awning!! It’s curtains for Bush. It’s curtains for the GOP.

Bush gave Pelosi a name: Scarlet O’hara. Scarlett’s first act as matriarch of Tara was to tear down drapery. Bush’s first bipartisan act was to demote Pelosi to Domestic Goddess.

It’s the draperies, stupid.

Bush managed to alienate every single woman on the planet with one sentence: “And in my first act of bipartisan outreach since the election, I shared with Pelosi the names of some interior decorators who can help her pick out the new drapes in her new office”.

Bush is no performing monkey simply mispronouncing words. On the page, his statement looked like nothing; the beginning simple, almost droll. Just the pulse of a botched joke, like a rusty stand up comic. Then Suddenly, high above it all, an elboe to his eye, as the import of his gaff reverberated with the clumsy limp of a true lame duck.

The Bush presidency is finished as no presidency was ever finished. Displace one word of his stupid remarks and there would be diminishment. Remove one phrase, and the whole structure would collapse.

I look at Bushspeak and I am staring through the cage of his meticulous syntactical strokes at a sheer loose cannon.

Meanwhile, back in the real world (as opposed to the one peopled by bitter, angry, petulant neocon losers) the rest of American applauds as the Bush GOP adjusts to it’s new, menial place in the grand order of things.

What a week this was! Here’s to the voters of both parties who drove a stake into the heart of our political darkness.

After years of trying to confuse and polarize, the Bush GOP learns that indeed, you cannot fool all of the people all of the time.

[It’s the kind of conservatism that remains silent when Rush Limbaugh does a mocking impersonation of Michael J. Fox’s Parkinson’s symptoms to score partisan points. It’s the kind of conservatism that talks of humane immigration reform but looks the other way when candidates demonize foreigners as predatory animals. It’s the kind of conservatism that pays lip service to “tolerance” but stalls for days before taking down a campaign ad caricaturing an African-American candidate as a sexual magnet for white women.](http://select.nytimes.com/2006/11/12/opinion/12rich.html?hp

Hats off to Virginia’s George Allen for helping to open our eyes:

The macaca incident had resonance beyond Virginia not just because it was a hit on YouTube. It came to stand for 2006 as a whole because it was synergistic with a national Republican campaign that made a fetish of warning that a Congress run by Democrats would have committee chairmen who are black (Charles Rangel) or gay (Barney Frank), and a middle-aged woman not in the Stepford mold of Laura Bush as speaker. In this context, Mr. Allen’s defeat was poetic justice: the perfect epitaph for an era in which Mr. Rove systematically exploited the narrowest prejudices of the Republican base, pitting Americans of differing identities in cockfights for power and profit, all in the name of “faith.”

BTW - Our resident drunk completely misrepresents Ms. Noonan’s fine commentary. She’s not angry or petulant. She’s not playing the “fear the Democrats” card. Far from it:

At the end of the day, or the end of this day, I look at the new Congress and wish them so well, such luck. Don’t you? I want to say: Go, Nancy Pelosi. Be the speaker of whom historians will write, in 2032, “This was her moment, here was the summit, here she found greatness.” Go, Democrats, be great and serious. Go, minority Republicans, refind yourselves. Go, conservatives.

The truth will set you free. The truth is something you never get from the drunk.

To simply vacuously assert that an opponent has “nothing to say” is cowardly and typical of the unthinking moronic regimented liberal lemmings that infest this blog.

A political blog simply reflects the stances and ideology of its contributors. It is utterly disingenuous to talk of “original ideas” on a political blog like this one. Certainly most if not all ideas on here are variations on themes established elsewhere by others. Most of the left and right posts on here reflect the ‘battle’ in D.C and in GA etc and the topics posted by Jim. I frequently comment on the blatant hypocrisy of the left, the racial/racist hypocrisy and bigotry of black liberals, the absurdity of the cut and run cowardly left etc. I don’t expect lefties to agree with me of course. But your constant child molesting filth and homosexual comments etc reflect a very sick depraved mind, not any attempt to debate or discuss.

But they do not honor our military on Verterans Day or Memorial Day. They do honor Rememberance Day, the Canadian version of the U.S. Veterans Day.

I predict that the newly elected Democratic majority will have to alienate the base that brought them into power. Not unlike what the Republicans did to their base.

Problems in Iraq somehow inspired the far left to rile up the anti-patriotic spirit that once flooded the streets with protests during the Vietnam War in the 1960s. Half-truths from documentaries such as Fahrenheit 9/11 were readily embraced, while liberals continued to fuel their fury instead of considering the difficult position the president was in when he neutralized the Baathist regime in Iraq.

Perhaps that’s why so many moderate Democrats left the party that year and voted for the opposition, or abstained. Defectors adopted the slogan, “I didn’t leave the Democratic Party - the Democratic Party left me.” The result was disastrous for the party, causing a stunning reversal of fortune when Mr. Kerry lost by more than 3 million votes nationwide.

Although the anti-Bush, anti-war strategy worked for the Democrats in this election, they now face immense pressure to end the war in Iraq from the very base of support that helped maneuver them to victory. In time, they may realize that finding a solution to the extreme anti-Americanism that has been developing in the Middle East the past few decades isn’t as easy as it seems.

Virulently criticizing the president, John Kerry and his supporters are no longer the right people. The last thing the party needs is a repeat of 2004 in 2008, which, in its own way, was a repeat of the anti-war McGovern platform in 1972. To no surprise, Mr. Kerry met the same fate as George McGovern, and the Democratic Party is no better for it.

It’s time for Mr. Kerry and those liberals stuck in the Vietnam era to wake up and view the world in the post-9/11 era. If they can’t, then, as Mr. Kerry once said, “It’s time for a regime change.” Your reign died the day you opened your botched mouth Senator (Allah be praised) Kerry.

The anti-war crowd is now irrelevant and I say it couldn’t have happened to a more self-deserving, virulent bunch of anti-american loudmouths.

Change is good, but not always rewarding.

Well, at the risk of saying I told you so…. Rumsfeld was a completely inept Secretary of Defense. His arrogance, his unwillingness to listen to the men and women who actually had to carry out his order, and steadfast refusal to look back and admit he made a mistake, etc. should all go towards ensuring that Rumsfeld shall be looked back at an @ss who causes the unnecessary deaths of hundreds of American serviceman. Primary case in point,when the Iraqi war first started, the travel light, travel fast strategy was best suited for the war plan. However, it quickly became evident after Iraq was subdued (well, quickly evident to everyone but Rumsfled but what the heck, he knows better than everyone else, right) we did in fact change into an occupational force, and that requires armor and force. The hell with the political ramifications, we needed to change into a force suited to deal with IEDs, suicide bombers, and everything else that is STILL going on over there. But there are still unarmored HumVees, soldiers without proper body armor, etc., etc., etc. And there are still American troops dying needlessly. And that charge must be layed solely at Rumsfled’s feet because he was in charge. Look at the article in the Navy, Marine Corps, Army, and Air Force Times stating Rumsfeld has lost the confidence of the troops. Civilians cannot know how unheard of that is, or how bad things must have been for that article to be printed. I would almost agree Rumsfled should be broght up on some sort of charges, or at least whatever civilian equivalent of a dishonorable discharge is so he doesn’t enjoy the benefits of a pension. And for those who may respond about how I’m unpatriotic, a liberal, etc., I am a retired USN Chief Petty Officer who served through the first Gulf War. I know first hand that chemical weapons were used on us, and still wonder whether Hussein used them all or we just haven’t found them. As for the current Iraq war, noly time will reveal it if was truly justified or not, but as for the way it’s ben handled since the first several weeks, Rumsfeld should face the full consequences of HIS decisions, and those consequences should be severe! Good riddence I say. Sadly, it cones several years to late. P.S. Wonder if General Powell might want the job….

What Rumsfeld believed, said and did differs from the caricature. The public picture of him today is drawn from news accounts reflecting the views of people who disapproved of his policies or disliked him. Rumsfeld, after all, can be brutally demanding and tough. But I believe history will be more appreciative of him than the first draft has been. What will last is serious history, which, like serious literature, can distinguish appearance from reality.

Yes, a war Democratic lawmakers voted for after being fed intelligence cherry-picked by the White House that “proved” Iraq was an imminent threat.

(Then CIA head George) Tenet complied with administration demands that the CIA gloss over inconsistencies between intelligence data and Bush’s assertions (that Iraq had WMDs and was a threat) and should be held accountable, Levin said. The report quoted committee testimony this year by Tenet, who acknowledged “it was the wrong thing to do.”

Fortunately, the American voter realized that Bush had sold them a bill of goods and voted accordingly in Tuesday’s elections. And these truths make any possible proceedings against Bush lackeys anything but “kangaroo courts”.

By bon scott November 12, 2006 05:09 PM And just what would you call your insulting personal attacks on the Luckovich blog, Andy? Reasoned debate?

General Seeker attacks his demon, Andy!

Never mind that no one asked this f*-got for his opinion, I’m his life.

So stalk away you loser.

Studies show that it takes 2x as long to leave a parking place when you see someone waiting to pull into your space. Scientists say it’s some sort of primative instinct akin to territoriality. “I’ve got it. You want it? Too bad! You can just wait till I find a good song on the radio, comb my hair, and let me auto warm up a bit, you know….”

That’s when you assume the early man behavier of crouching when the guy waiting starts shooting at your car!

This sickness of bon scott’s goes way back:

By I Report, You Whine June 1, 2006 08:10 AM From the Vent: To the South Carolina gentleman who came into a well-known Buckhead steakhouse and was more high maintanence than Whitney at rehab: Thanks for not leaving a tip. I’ll pay my rent with my $2.13 an hour. finch!

By RW-(the original) June 1, 2006 08:33 AM What is it about a few news and opinion articles, that you can easily choose to scroll past, that drive you tossers crazy? Andy, I saw that vent and for some reason never made the finch connection. Too funny! finch, get down to Buckhead and pony up cheapskate!

All of these are name jacks:

By seeker answering for finch/bon scott^^ June 1, 2006 10:00 AM RW, Today’s ‘toon (which, of course, hasn’t been posted yet) features the Dixie Chicks. Serendipity? And I swear I’m not the Buckhead cheapskate. I have proof! Time-stamped surveillance video, ATM slips… if those things can clear the Dule lacrosse team, then by golly they can clear me!

This dude is a major mental case.

The final charge of General Seeker and his ghost army, finch/mirror/seneca/bon scott/etal. Making himself look like the obsessed psycho that he is by letting Andy control his every waking thought and probably his dreams if one can sleep with that many voices in their head.

Sybil,

One day you should look over a thread or two and see who starts this garbage. A HUGE percentage of the times it’s YOU!

Andy, you’re so darn sensitive! Heh. And I have absolutely no idea what your posts and links about tipping in Buckhead mean. None!! Seriously, you hurt whatever credibility you have when you post nonsense like this. It’s the booze, right?

Naaah! Andy shows that if anybody’s obsessed, it’s him. I post a few lines in response to his sexual insults and he spittles all over his keyboard. Random links and everything!

Demonstrably false. I post links to reputable sources on serious subjects, as do others. But Andy can’t make a criticism of these without questioning someone’s sexuality. I have responded by calling him a drunk. I think he reacts so strongly to this charge because it’s true. It would be a better place here if Andy stopped his ad hominem attacks, but I’m not holding my breath.
