Red-light cameras, overweight dogs and politicians
The Atlanta Journal-Constitution
Thinking Right’s free-for-all Friday. Pick a topic:
➢Install red-light cameras to ticket motorists, if you wish. But eliminate the incentive for cities and counties to use them as cash cows. Either roll back property taxes by the sum of fines collected or require that they go through the state’s General Fund to support trauma care. Local governments should never have a financial incentive to decide how vigorously laws should be enforced.
➢Vince Dooley was said to be considering a race for the 10th Congressional District in a special election set for June 19. No, he declared. Just as well. The Dooley my conservative band requested, anyway, was Barbara. With all the candiates getting into the race from the Athens side of the district, advantage shifts to State Sen. Jim Whitehead (R-Evans),who represents about 26 percent of the district vote. He’s got a little age on him, though. 64. Once upon a time, the South sent them young and let them age into power. Carl Vinson, who served more than 50 years, was 30. U.S. Sen. Richard Russell was 36. U.S. Sen. Sam Nunn was 34. U.S. Sen. Herman Talmadge was old. He was 43.
➢Oh goodness, expect orchestrated leaks with dire predictions that would frighten children about the safety of the nation’s airports and air service. The National Air Traffic Controllers Association, a 14,000-member union, is locked in dispute with the Federal Aviation Administration over pay and staffing Been there. In 1981, the Professional Air Traffic Controllers Organization union (PATCO) struck for 17 sky-is-falling months. Ronald Reagan took decisive action. He fired them. Great man, that Reagan.
➢Agreed that TV and print ads for specific drugs do prompt consumers to ask their physicians for them and may cause them to be over-prescribed. But anything that moves consumers from passivity to active management of their health has to be good. Today paying attention to a medicine. Tomorrow paying attention to bills and to quality of care.
➢You know Americaa’s solved the hunger problem that afflicted previous generations. The Food and Drug Administration recently approved Slentrol, a drug to help dogs lose weight. When our dogs are overweight, hunger in humans is cured, except when individuals make bad choices with food stams and grocery money.
➢Headline: “Land’s explosive past vexes homeowners.” One vexed homeowner is “stunned” and “angry” that nobody told her in 27 years that her home that it was located on the former Camp Wheeler military post near Macon. Darn uncommunicative and uncurious, these neighborhoods. “Nobody told me” is an excuse that comes after due diligence. And probably sooner than 27 years.
➢The Brian Nichols trial is delayed until March 27 to allow the Legislature to deposit more money in the checking accounts of his three private lawyers, whose combined $395 per hour bills are being paid by taxpayers. We’ve seen the future: Defense lawyers and judges can repeal the death penalty by making it cost-prohibitive. Cap spending before this becomes another runaway.
➢How times have changed: I read of a “massive nationwide study of the environmental and genetic factors that make children sick” and alarm bells go off. The Congressionally-created program, projected to cost $3.5 billion, is the kind that becomes a magnet for agenda-bearers. Congress launched the study in 2000. President Bush proposed to terminate it in his 2007 budget, one of 91 programs targeted. Congress just ignored that plea and appropriated $69 miillion to keep it going.
The same story informs us that children will be followed “from their conception to their 21st birthday.” I do trust the government agent there at conception will be permitted to advise the couple that marriage is in the best interest of the just-conceived child.

Good morning, all, With respect to red light cameras, I have a problem with NOT being able to confront one’s “accuser.” Now, I understand that “radar” has been use for a half century or so, but, with that tool, there is a living, breathing officer to testify. In the camera scenario, the machine is the machine is the machine.
Were I charged via one of these Frankenstein monster devices, I would subpoena the damn thing into court to cross examine it!
If that failed, I would try to get the menagerie of lawyers, who argued before Judge Larry Seidlin in the Probate Court in Fort Lauderdale, Florida, to defend me. After all, if you can’t beat them, confuse them.

Wooten, thanks for reminding me how Reagan helped launch the anti-labor attitude that has dominated our government for so many decades and helped crush the middle class.
I really should thank Mr. Reagan again. Now, does anyone know where he’s buried… and if there’s a soda machine nearby I can use to fill up first?

Are the members of PATCO headed for the unemployment line again? They probably should be.
A friend’s brother led the strikers in Miami and 2 years after President Reagan busted the strike this genius was still claiming the “biggest cover-up in the history of the US” had taken place. He could not identify what exactly was covered up but he went from a $60,000 a year government job to selling used cars.
Every union striker should have to deal with someone like Ronald Reagan.

I remember 1981 well. The country was in a recession and there was an abundant supply of well educated baby boomers in the work force. They are retiring now and being re-hired by companies that can’t find enough young workers to do jobs that require spatial and analytical skills. Go ahead and fire the air traffic controllers. They’ll be back at a lower wage and we will get what we pay for.

So you don’t want to wait for that green arrow to turn left? Great! Now you don’t have to. You have a choice. You can now pay a premium for your desire to save two minutes. I have had several near misses with people running red lights while turning left while I am proceeding straight through the intersection. The first SOB to hit me while pulling this trick is going to have more than a traffic violation to worry about!

Hi Jim,
I know you’ve been wriggling your toes in the sand this week, but have you been paying attention to your legislature?
Basically, they’re ignoring the wants/needs of their constituents and catering soley to the desires of their narrow special interest backers. Namely, Christians and those who would take advantage of the most financially desperate among us.
As detailed yesterday by your colleauge Maureen Downey, certain legislators have seen fit to introduce legislation written by those who are giving them money, with no apparent interest or need in the legislation coming from Georgians.
Today, another of your colleauges, James Salzer, is reporting that the GOP is stacking the committe responsible for passing the Sunday alcohol sales bill…something that Georgia residents do indeed want. The GOP doesn’t even want the bill out of committe so it can get the dreaded “up or down vote” (remember that?).
So from my perspective Jim, we have Republicans, who run almost exclusively against the ills of government intervention in peoples lives, intervening in two different cases to negatively impact Georgia residents. In one case, they’re allowing corporate interests to prey upon financially weak individuals, and in another case, they’re keeping me from picking up a sixer at the Kroger on Sunday.
You go on and on and on and on about how great Republicans are.
They suck. Just as bad as Democrats. There’s no moral high ground here. Politicians are w*******. It’s right there in black and white, in your very own fish wrapper.
All you do is cherry pick the issues that make Dems look bad and the GOP look good, while ignoring the blatant misdeeds of the GOP.
You’re not a reporter. Your a PR hack. You’re a shill for a pie in the sky ideology.
And to top it off, one of your biggest supporters on this blog consistently refers to himself as masturbating while writing (what’s your take on that anyway?). Your other biggest supporter is a libertarian who sees fit to allow corruption to continue because he doesn’t believe in this particular form of government.
I’m really glad I’m not one of your supporters.

Oh, so now Republicans are worried about abuse of law-enforcement for the purposes of raising cash? Funny, they were all for D.A.R.E. cops driving around in confiscated cars. The insane drug war has resulted in wholesale seizure of property without due process.
Now these psuedo-conservatives in the GA assembly want to get media coverage time by whining about red-light cameras. What a joke. Any appearance of real concern for out-of-control government is purely coincidental.
If they’re so darn worried about our rights, you’d think they’d start somewhere besides the right to be T-boned and killed by red-light runners.

Good morning all. Totally agree on the red light cameras – more efficient “catching” does not imply better government.
As to congressional candidates and age, that issue hits a little close to home for me – I’m too far from 30 to even remember, much less endorse those whipper-snappers.
The cure for NATCA is, obviously, privatization. Why we so willing rely on government competence when our lives are at stake, baffles me.
I still cannot fathom why the physician should prescribe the drug. If we cannot have everything sold over the counter, the second best solution would appear to be reliance on the competence of the pharmacist.
Our dogs are not overweight, they are merely fluffy.
Explosive past – I would thing the “duty to investigate” would kick in before the title changes, absent a fraudulent “why, no, this property never belonged to the Army.”. 27 years later sounds too long.
Judge should audit the expenditure of funds in the Nichols trial, if that is the only excuse for not going forward.
We all know that section of the Constitution that requires Congress to act on “environmental and genetic factors that make children sick.” I’m sure they teach that in schools as prerequisite to KumBaYa. 101.
If children are followed from conception to age 21, it is time to get a protective order against the stalker.

Anyone look at statistics regarding accidents INCREASING once red-light cameras go in? Minor accidents sometimes increase as motorists break hard for fear of running the light.
Watch yourself people, these cash generating money-makers are getting out of hand. Soon there will be photo-radar ticketing you as your drive by (they’ve had it in Europe for years). This all appears under the guise of public safety, but it has NOTHING to do with safety and EVERYTHING to do with money.
What’s next? Well, with current GPS-based technology it is conceivable that your car’s actions could be monitored at all times. An insurance company could obtain that information and use it in their policy decisions. It could even be used to immobolize and rowdy teen’s car if the parents noticed the GPS showed them speeding.
Many cars already have the necessary deviced installed within them now. With some simple tweaking, GM’s OnStar system could be used in such a way. Ditto any car with GPS-based navigation.
If safety is your concern, what we need is a better driver education program and far harsher penalties for DUI’s and serious automotive infractions. In Germany, the land of the unrestricted interstate, the accident rate is FAR lower than it is here. Drivers must go through extensive training, expensive classes, and strict penalties for grievous mistakes.
When you’re given control of a two-ton machine, all that training doesn’t sound unreasonable to me.

I’m all for not only ticketing but also suspending the licenses of those selfish ba**ards who feel free to sail through red lights in order to save a minute. I see it all the time, including people who turn left 20 seconds after the left-turn arrow has turned green. They are a menace to us all. One of my great joys last Saturday was watching a cop pull over one of them when the self-important a-hole thought he would sail through a red light with impunity. The phony-baloney “confront my accuser” argument doesn’t wash with me. If a city profits from red-light cameras, so much the better. Let the dangerous drivers pay the freight for more rigid traffic law enforcement. Use the money to hire even more cops and install even more cameras than property tax revenues or user fees would ordinarily afford. Where’s the “law and order” crowd on this issue? Why are they moaning about traffic law enforcement by camera? Is it all right to use no-knock warrants and other intrusive measures to enforce the laws they like, but abhorrent to use cameras to enforce the ones they don’t like?
Casey Cagle’s little stunt of stacking the committee that is considering Sunday alcohol sales is a prime example of Republican hypocrisy. Provided a measure will suit the redneck taste, any bill will sail through the Republican legislature “because the public supports it.” But introduce a popular proposal that offends the knuckle-draggers and preachers, and you’ll see all the stops installed, regardless of public support.

Hey V for Vendetta - how about just not breaking the law? Huh? Ever thought of that one?
Your argument that accidents are increasing due to red-light cameras is pathetic. First, it’s not true. It is a fact that rear-ending accidents have gone up (thanks to the jack@$$ in the second car that plans to flagrantly run the red light). However, the overall number of accidents has decreased. And what’s more important, the life-threatening T-bone accidents have dramatically decreased. 10 rear-end accidents for 1 T-bone is still a good trade-off.
Grow up. You’re an adult, obey the law and if you break it, pay the price. You’re a waste of breath.

Not me, that’s for sure.
Overweight dogs? - ‘Ya know Jim, when I first saw your headline, I took it to mean that “overweight dogs were politicians. Anyway, my parents always reminded me to clean my plate because there were people starving in other countries.
I get to sit at the grown-up table now, and don’t have to clean my plate if I don’t want to. I don’t waste though. I give the scraps to my dog, Buddy. He’s fat.
You know what they say Jim, if a woman wants to look thin, then she should hang out with fat Buddys.
Stunned & Angry? - She needs to blow that excuse up her…….sewer pipe?

Jbmlaw,
I hear ya. But problem is, there is a deficit of knowledge in that relationship that gives a distinct advantage to one side.
Free markets, as I’m sure you’re aware, are predicated upon each side of a transaction having a sound understanding of the relationship.
Buyers in a grocery store can go to the bread aisle and look at the various types of bread. They can see their prices, and develop a basic understanding of the relationship between cost vs. quality. But ultimately, they have little understanding of the company that made the bread, what their labor practices are, what the ingredients really are, whether or not they pay their taxes, etc…
The buyer is free to do that research, but why would they? It’s just a loaf of bread. The risk is low.
With other transactions that interface with the lowest common denominators in our society, the transaction itself is predicated on the purchaser having little, if any, real knowledge about the product or the company. The product is moderately complicated (there’s numbers and stuff) and the buyer (in the case of payday lenders) might be in distress. Additionally, the seller can make it difficult for the buyer to really understand the agreement by throwing up a lot of technical jargon, process, procedures, contracts, etc…further tilting the advantage to their side.
Consumers cannot possibly always have all the information or understanding that they need to make fair trades in the marketplace (how many folks out there know who owns Citgo? How many conservatives on this blog know who owns the “Washington Times”). And while it’s not the government’s job to be the nanny, there is a responsiblity for it to ensure that the playing field is either level, or that the most disadvantaged among us are not blatantly taken advantage of.
Market’s aren’t perfect and they never will be. There’s too great an incentive to cheat. Additionally, with the help of lobbyists, those with the money can always engineer ways to rig the game in their favor.
If everybody played fair, we wouldn’t be discussing this topic. But they don’t. Because if they do, they get screwed.

deegee,
This came out of Wikipedia -
It was initially founded in 1968 and succeeded in being recognized as a collective bargaining agent in 1969, after a brief labor stoppage referred to as the “sickout”. To circumvent the federal law against strikes by government unions, numerous controllers called in sick. After a few days the federal courts intervened and most controllers went back to work by order of the court, but the government was forced to the bargaining table. The controllers won substantial pay raises (about 110% their previous pay.
Gee, it worked once, but 12 years later, they had forgotten their own history.

I’m sure that neither of you ever speed. You probably drive at the posted limit wherever you go. Most people speed on some level. There are myriad roads where the speed limit doesn’t reflect the possible driving conditions (ex. Hwy 78 up towards Athens where the posted limit remains a pathetic 55mph). The only reason the limit remains low is because that road is a cash cow for Walton County. Anyone who commutes that drive on a daily basis can tell you that.
Rod, if minor rear-end accidents have gone up (as you agreed) then how could overall accidents DEcrease? T-bone accidents, while terrible, are fairly rare. If one were to look into the history of intersections in the metro area, one would find that just about every single one of them has had at least one fatality. Should we pepper the road with cameras because of this? Is that the answer? Or would it make more sense to teach people how to drive a car better?
One of those proposals generates money and one does not. Still wonder why people choose the cameras? It’s sickening.
I would also contend that you’ll find the number of fatality accidents not greatly decreased. A driver who is going to commit such a heinous error as t-boning a car is probably not someone too concerned by a $100 fine. The stats don’t lie guys. It’s the wool being pulled over your eyes so the local law enforcement can make quick and easy money. The safety argument is an illusion.
I’ll stop speeding when you stop speeding Rod. Sorry to be such a waste.

One of the problems I have with the red light cameras is the revenue it generates on an ongoing basis for the manufacturer of the camera. It is not only a cash cow for the localities where they are installed, but private companies are collecting part of the fines paid, as a kick back. For some reason, this does not sound like a firm business practice for a local government, or a private business.

Re: red light cameras.
I think they should pass a law that does the following:
Increase the yellow light times to 5 seconds in city and 10 seconds highway. (Currently, they are usually set on 3 and 5 seconds).
Increase the delay on the time the light changes red on one side and green on the other to at least 5 seconds.
Make the cities and counties roll back property taxes equal to the revenue generated by ALL traffic fines.
Maybe then, the police could get back to patrolling the neighborhoods looking for criminals instead of trying to generate revenue.

Time for someone to put the Thesarus away. People like you fail to realize that extremism in either direction is harmful to society.
People like you decry terrorists for foolishly blowing themselves up in the name of religion. We laugh at their ideas of forty virgins in the afterlife and assinine belief that the infidels should be vanquished. Yet here in the South, every Sunday, we find the masses prostrate in church professing a slavish devotion to a misguided faith. Sure, they’re not blowing up civilians or attacking American in the most cowardly way possible. Of course, then again, most religious zealots down here will not tolerate anyone that does not share their beliefs and take every opportunity to hate on gays, other religions, other races, etc.
If you want a theocracy, by all means let me know. I need time to pack my bags. Conservatism is fine. Extreme conservatism is not. It’s the same on the left side of the aisle. I’m sure you’ll denounce me as a leftish, what was the word, afterbirth? I can assure you I’m not. I’m just someone who finds extremism to be dangerous in any form.

tired,
Let’s apply a little economics here. Generally, the less competition there is for a position, the more money existing workers make for that position (again, supply and demand). Air traffic controllers are in a dispute with the FAA over staffing levels. In other words, despite such potential economic benefits (more money, better benefits), they’re begging the FAA to hire more controllers (controllers are retiring faster than the FAA is hiring). In this case, union members are putting air traffic safety ahead of their long-term personal finances (yes, they’re asking for more money because they’re understaffed, working longer hours with less rest, etc.). As members of the flying public, if air traffic controllers say that they’re under-staffed, then we had better listen.
FYI, the FAA is yet another agency run by incompetents appointed by President Bush who put ideology above public safety.

I find it interesting that the Air Traffic Controller debate is dominating the conversation today. I would say that of President Reagan’s many successes, that decision was not one of them.
I would like to ask some of more learned conservative friends on this blog this question (asked in a neutral tone, out of complete curiosity):
Looking back, knowing what you know now and not what you knew then, do you think it would have been better to spend the money we have spent on the Iraq Conflict on intranational defense (e.g., securing airports through hiring private corporations to evaluate risks, installing bomb detecting devices in airports, securing our ports, etc.) or do you think that we received good national security value for our dollars spent in Iraq?
I realize that subjective perspective enters into every discussion, even the way I’ve phrased this question, so if there is a more content-neutral way of phrasing it, please suggest it.

re: Brian Nichols and the issue of state-funded criminal defense. I understand the Constitutional reasons criminal defendants are provided legal representation. I paid better than $300/hour for legal representation in a civil matter. Is there not something un-Constitutional about the state picking up the tab to ensure a (yet to be convicted) murderer is represented, while law-abiding, tax-paying citizens have to foot their own legal bills in civil cases? I guess at the end of the day it’s not so much a question of “justice” or the law, as it is there is no question the lawyers will always get paid.

Just an attempt for a little information sharing from someone who works at air trafic control (ATC). 1st, check this link to the ATO website: text to be linked
please note that at the beginning the author states that lower staffing is justified because there is less traffic. Then 5th Para. from the bottom the FAA administrator states that “The system is in trouble because we have squeezed every ounce of capacity that’s out there,” Which is it? traffic less or more?
According to govt data. the traffic at the 5 major NY facilities has increased an average of 10% while staffing at these facilities has dropped by 12% and 20% in the 3 big airports.
Privatization? You think the union has leverage? Just wait until the private contractor goes to Congress and says that unless they get a $5 billion infusion that the system will collapse. Oh Boeing…Lockheed is blackmailing us, do you think you can take over the busiest air traffic system in the world by 6am tomorrow? I’ve got to think that life doesn’t get much better than a government sponsored monopoly.
If those controllers don’t like it they should work somewhere else - Oh yeah, nobody else but the government hires controllers (e.g. you remember the car salesman in the earlier post).
So, there are no free market rules to apply here. Its a monopoly of the sky (let’s see, which ATC company should your pilot use today?) and its a monopoly of employment.
If any of you have engineering background you might remember how bridges used to be designed to carry 250% of the anticipated max load. some folks decided that was wasteful and the number is now (I believe) 150%. you just hope that the guy pouring the concrete didn’t come to work with a hangover. And how many strands can be cut from the safety net before it won’t be able to hold that plane about to fall. I’m not saying it’s there (do you remember Lexington, KY or is it already forgotten) but it is a question that should be asked by engineers and people who actually know something about ATC not by actuaries. BTW, probably 1/2 of the people in the FAA administration have no ATC experience or are folks who couldn’t work the traffic and ran to a nice safe desk job.

jbmlaw, I respectfully disagree. The last major strike that caused the loss of thousands of jobs, not to mention the loss of a company, happened at Eastern. First striked the machinist union and then the pilot’s union. Man those union picketers sure showed Eastern. That’s typical of the union mutaneers though. Sink the ship to make a point.

We have at least one post claiming there is a shortage of ATCs and another indicating there are former military ATCs lusting for a job in the public sector. So, which is it?
A few years prior to the PATCO strike I had the opportunity (misfortune?) to participate in a basketball league with a team of ATCs. Frightening to think some of those guys held hundreds of lives in their hands every day. Violent tempers, instability and recklessness were the trademarks of most of them. Not a scientific study I admit, but a sample.
The point already made here about the right to leave the job is important. If you want to control your own destiny then start a business for yourself since the employee has no “right” to a job. If the working conditions, other employees, or the employer do not meet your desires your only “right” is to leave.
If the ATCs are as skilled as some would like to assert then they will be in demand somewhere, if not as an ATC then at some other position requiring similar skills.
The three lawyers for Brian Nichols are in the case for the publicity with a nice check to tide them over until the really big dollars roll in after this trial. The only lawyer in town starved until the second moved in - and then they both became rich.

“Bryan, I understand people have been asking you this all day, does this (that would be the tornado spawning on Thursday for you liberals ITP) have anything to do with global warming?”
Uh oh. We had another bad outbreak of tornadoes that tragically killed some people. Well, they were in “Red States” so “Those People” rednecks in Alabama and Southern Missouri weren’t a big loss I’m sure to sick liberals. Ain’t that rite demoncat multiple ID liberal pseudo-“Redneck Convert?” Anyway, according to the liberals, we’ve seen (man-made) global warming cause an increase of tornadoes since 1950!

But uh oh, what’s this? No major increase in massive “The Day After Tomorrow Al Sore” Alpharetta soccermom SUV Tahoe-induced tornadoes? One would think if tornadoes are increasing in frequency due to man’s activities, so would the increase of power of said tornadoes at the same time.
Surely one increase would give birth to another in the Al Sore’s and liberals’ womb, Mother Nature. Surely Mother Nature doesn’t do things half-assed. Hey, polar bears are being stranded on melting Arctic icebergs overnight for God’s sake. At least, that’s what the liberals like Sore are telling us.

Uh oh. EU to miss global warming goal. Just think, the UN and limpwristed liberal Gorebots want the US to sign an agreement where our companies will be heavily fined (that’s taxed for you liberals in Midtown) if we don’t meet an agreed upon goal.
So, if we miss the target by 2 degrees, it don’t make a sh!t whether sunspots, deep sea thermal vents, and cow colons had a flareup. We ALL will pay. You think those companies are NOT going to pass along their being robbed to us?
This is another example of a sickness of the disease of liberalism. Do whatever FEELS good, aftermaths be damned. Sick liberals.

Markus @ 8:24 and Danish at LuckoBoring last nite: As a follow up to your ID jacker/ multiple ID comments, some time ago at cartoon boy’s blog a visitor, or “newcomer” so to speak, started to complain about my use of italics in my posts, his whining started one day out of the blue and lasted several. Trying to be helpful, as always, I told this person to turn their monitor on it’s side whenever they encountered italics in their reading.
My point being, after just a few days of this whining, the blog removed the use of italics and bolding, I guess because of this “newcomer’s” complaining.
The strange thing about it, this “newcomer” was a really odd character, much like Polly, Andi/e, Pinko Racist, America’s Pointy Hat Wearing Pooh Bah, Blackadder and all the other nonsense this these blogs are disgustingly infested with. Does this person, this “newcomer” work for the AJC (as Danish mused)?
I can almost guarantee that it works at the Urinal, think about it. If you were running this blog and wanted it to be a sane, normal place that people could discuss issues in a thoughtful, coherent manner, would you not just eliminate this Polly “newcomer” and be done with it?
Tell me if I’m wrong, if this person acted on the street like it does on this blog, would it not be thrown in the back of a squad car and pummeled on the way to jail?
So what, pray tell, makes the anonymity of this blog a cover for such behavior?
Working for the Atlanta Journal?
Has compromising pictures of Cynthia Tucker engaged sociopathic activities?
Is this “newcomer” really Jay Kookman? Why doesn’t he start his own pinko blog and harass the participant’s over there?
There is something really odd about this, Wooten seems normal but for some reason doesn’t mind having a festering disease ridden open sore attached to his blog like some filthy leech.
What gives, Jim?

Case exhibit #16,773 of liberal demoncat hypocrisy. During the Clintoon years, we were all told to lay of their kid, Chelsea. “Don’t drag Chelsea into her parent’s politics” we were told by the holier-than-thou liberal RATs. Ok, no problem. I actually agreed with that then and agree with it now.
But uh-oh. Along comes Rudy Guiliani as a presidential candidate. Well, he’s a Republican, so all gloves are off. Even if he has some liberal leanings socially, he’s still one of “those people.” A Republican.
So guess what? The liberal gutter trash at the New York Slimes starts inquiring about his kids and spouting about his “bitter divorce” as the Slimes put it (like how in the hell many divorces end with kisses and a hug goodbye… ASSININE LIBERALS).
This is the same liberal hellhole that loves to print stories about the failings of the traditional American family, women choosing to live without a man, etc. Now suddenly these liberal colon polyps at the Slimes are suddenly concerned about Rudy’s personal family issues? Now it’s ok to talk about a politician’s children? Effin’ hypocritical liberal gutter RATs. Filthy vermin.

I am shocked, SHOCKED I say. Well, not really. It never ceases to amaze me where Democrats place their priorities.
It sure doesn’t seem to be on transportation safety during the war on terror.
That’s when the Senate is expected to vote on two amendments.
One, sponsored by Sen. Jim DeMint, R-S.C., would strike the labor rights provision that inspired the veto threat. DeMint, Bush and enough Republicans to sustain a veto say collective bargaining rights would prevent the Transportation Security Administration from making instant personnel changes during an emergency.
According to DeMint, the debate was about adding more members and dues to the labor unions’ membership lists and money for their lawyers, another traditionally Democratic constituency.
He noted that unionizing the more than 45,000 TSA screeners would give labor unions a windfall of millions of dollars in dues which in turn would translate into more campaign dollars for Democrats. For those and logistical reasons, DeMint urged his colleagues to support eliminating the provision and killing McCaskill’s amendment.
I find the Democrats’ political plays of “fast and loose” with our national security disgusting, JUST DISGUSTING.

Wonkette operative “Bill” has mysterious business ties with Argentina, which is why he keeps up with whatever the Bush Twins are doing down there. He translated a chunk of this article that reveals way too much about Ramiro González Palazzo and how impressed he is that a woman is allowed to have a credit card.

Speaking of Ann Coulter (The real one, not the fraud^^^).
I don’t think that Ann Coulter calling Edwards a “f*” was the best move on her part (“silk pony” and “Breck Girl” have the same effect with a tad more subtlety) but it should be noted that the Left love to hint that AC is a Lesbian. She is correct that using the “f*” word unleashes demands for immediate enrollment in re-education camp and apologies for “hate speech”.
One could say that she leveled the playing field. Here’s a trip down AJC memory lane with our own “Dirty Sanchez” who calls Ann Coulter a “Carpet muncher”.
As for Rudi appearing in Gay parades, as New York’s miraculously effective mayor, he appeared in any parade that invited him, and did a skit where he appeared in drag. BFD.

Despite all the talk of “alternative” fuels, some 80% of the energy that the world produces today comes from carbon-based fuels. Barring cold fusion or some other miracle technology, that ratio won’t change much for decades to come. That means, in turn, that any stringent CO2 cap would inevitably have serious economic costs. We doubt voters will elect politicians who tell them the cost of reducing their “carbon footprint” is more blackouts or a lower standard of living. And in any case China is putting up a new coal-fired plant every week, raising emissions that will overwhelm whatever reductions cap-and-trade would yield in the U.S. The emerging alliance of business and environmental special interests may well prove powerful enough to give us cap-and-trade in CO2. It would make Hollywood elites feel virtuous, and it would make money for some very large corporations. But don’t believe for a minute that this charade would do much about global warming.
The big problem is that the libs will never tell you what they have planned, they’ll just keep scheming until they get enough power, then one day they’ll send the cops to your house to make you cut the lights off.

Unions, the great saviors according to the liberals here.
So, a little history. The auto unions forced American car manufacturers to pay them significantly more than worth to build a shoddy car. Now, GM and Ford are on the verge of bankruptcy and plant closings have put thousands of union members on the streets but we still hear the libs singing the praises of unions.
Are all liberals and union members possibly so dull as to miss the handwriting on the wall or are they just too uneducated to be able to read?
Unions, like the sweat shops the unions were formed to fight, are out of touch with reality. Drugs, sex and crime are small potatos compared to the income organized crime generates from the unions. The members are simply duped into believing the union is good for them.
Gosh, a Liberal being duped just seems so… plausible.

JohnD,
It’s your asinine anecdotes about people you know nothing about and your desperate attempts to inspire ethnic hatred that’s vulgar. If you think World War III is the answer, then put on the uniform and get your dumba$$ over on the front lines. Otherwise, you’re just another chicken$hit who talks big, but lets others risk life and limb to satisfy your bigoted sensibilities.

You know Buy Danish, we could really join the wild and crazy world of the liberals.
The Doom is captive in the AJC’s Manor of Liberalism. He’s seen the light and wants desperately to free himself, but he can’t find a blogging job anywhere else.
He’s too dumb, nobody else will have him.
Oh crap! Now I’m beginning to sound like a liberal.
Stranger things have happened. Lots of conservatives WERE liberals until we came to our senses, began using our brains, and matured.
I read somebody’s post here regarding “carbon credits”. Semper was explaining them to me the other day. No matter how he framed it, it came up as a “scam” to me.
Semper being, very astute in business and his ability to make money wants to set himself up in “the business”.
“If the Democrats are dumb enough to buy into this fraud, then I’m smart enough to exploit them and make a fortune” he said.

I just read your link to the Copenhagen riots. They’re not as bad as the Cartoon Riots, but they have a bit in common in the sense of a “right” to outrage and…riot.
When I lived in New York the Bishop of the Episcopal Church was Paul Moore, and I credit him for he driving me out of the Episcopal Church.
I attended his last sermon before he retired at Grace Episcopal Church. I was still a Democrat in those days but my jaw-dropped when I heard him talk about how the squatters had all these rights. He participated in demonstrations against the police when they tried to evict them and encouraged us to do the same.
He was the ultimate limosine liberal as you can see from his Bio..
Note how all his Chicken Little predictions of doom were proven wrong by the great Rudy Guiliani.
They always are.

I’ve seen nowhere that JohnD mentioned ethnicity. You’re kind of thinking absolutely amazes me.
What does ethnicity have to do with union members?
Are you just naturally assuming that ethnic groups are who he’s referring to. Is there a reason why you would assume that?
Has your Democratic party taught you that ethnic groups can’t make it on their own. I think they can.

Lots of hate up in here.
Must be that hate convention.
Mrs Edwards responds to that thing you call Ann:
“Although her words did not hurt us, they may have hurt some in the gay community. We are all sick and tired of anyone supporting or applauding or introducing hate words into the national dialogue, tired of people thinking that words that cause others pain are fair game.
John gave a graduation speech at NC State several years ago, and in it he said that none of us can stand by when words of bigotry and division are used. It is only when the rest of us stand up and say that this is not acceptable that we drum out the hate-mongers from amongst us.
Now it is our turn to drown out the hate. Find a way — whether it is contribution here that sends a message to Miss Coulter and those who applauded her (which, of course, I prefer) or whether it is a statement on this blog or others or all of the above — but please find a way not to sit silent in acceptance. It doesn’t change until we say we will not be silent when this happens.”
Very first lady like.

Interesting info on goracles’ hysteria -
Believe it or not, over the last century America’s major media have predicted an impending global climate crisis four different times – each prediction warning that entire countries would be wiped out or that lower crop yields would mean “billions will die.” In 1895, the panic was over an imminent ice age. Later, in the late 1920s, when the earth’s surface warmed less than half a degree, the media jumped on a new threat – global warming, which continued into the late 1950s. Then in 1975, the New York Times’ headline blared, “A Major Cooling Widely Considered to Be Inevitable.” Then in 1981 it was back to global warming, with the Times quoting seven government atmospheric scientists who predicted global warming of an “almost unprecedented magnitude.”
Today, to cover all their bases, much of the press is changing its terminology from “global warming” to “climate change” or “climate catastrophe.” That way they’re covered either way: If the world gets colder, global warming is still at fault.

You never address the issues. Are you denying the threat of Islam? If so how do explain the number of terrorist attacks around the world perpetrated by Islamic Fundamentalists. Are you really so dense you do not understand?
No wonder Marcus displays the frustration of dealing with you lightweights.
Poor John Edwards was called a name by a political commentator and that is all you shallow left wingers care about for a week. Oh, that and the fact the union members are continually striking themselves out of jobs and I think there is justice in their joblessness. Well, tooooooooo bad.

JohnD,
Some, if not most, terrorist plots broken up both here and in the U.K. might have succeeded if not for the help of honest, peace-loving Muslims. Many Muslim nations, including Iran, had provided support (logistical, intelligence or otherwise) in our efforts in Afghanistan. Bizarre rants from haters like you (straight from FrontPageMag, Washington Times, Rush Limbaugh and other such misinformation outlets) about Muslims help to create terrorists — not fight them. There’s a terrorist threat, but I don’t spit my venom on all who happen to share the same religion as some fundamentalist freaks any more than I attribute the f##ked-up comments of Pat Robertson to all Christians.
However, as I said before, if you want to fight World War III, I have no doubt that there’s a recruiting station near you — chickenhawk.
On your union bull$s**, the big three automakers are struggling because their cars are poor quality relative to the Japanese models. Also, management didn’t have the foresight to diversify their product lines, and as a result, they were caught off guard when gas prices began to rise rapidly and people started to be concerned about global warming.
Violent, unstable and reckless far right pricks like you aren’t content unless they demonize anybody who doesn’t look, act and think like them. You’ll absorb any misinformation directly into your bloodstream without digesting it first if it supports your ideology of selfishness, greed, gluttony and hate.
Pathetic!

Popsickle,
Some, if not most…
Just another generalization from a liberal. ALL the terror attacks were the work of MUSLIMS, Islamofacists if you like, but the moderate Muslims are in power in Iraq now and all you Lefties want to scream is “Get out of Iraq”. Well which way do you want this to go? Support the moderates you tout or desert them?
To cite Iran as an example of a Muslim state with honor is disgraceful. No person with a brain can call their leader or their politics anything but insane.
The gas prices started to rise in the early 1970’s you dolt. There has been no “sudden increase” - the prices have been rising for over 30 years.
Aramco was pushed out of Saudi Arabia in 1979 and reported to Congress that oil reserves there were 110 billion barrels. Now, despite the fact there have been no major discoveries, Saudi Arabia claims to have a reserve of 260 billion barrels. Why you might ask - because OPEC ties allowed production to reserves. So oil prices will continue to go higher.
The American auto manufacturers have been paying workers over $50 an hour to do assembly line work. Not rocket science, but still they produce junk. Why is there an old adage about not buying a car built on Friday or Monday? Because the workers are either hung over or planning on becoming that way.
The unions priced the American cars out of the market. GM lost $1,500 on every car sold last year. Do the unions care? No, and they have never cared. “Just get me my money now” is their motto. Well, when the bond holders take over Ford and GM and all the stockholders are left out in the cold, do you think the union leaders are going to help? Again, NO!
Before you start the liberal song and dance about “It serves those dirty capitalist stockholders right”, just remember the stockholders are Mom and Pop America. Retirement plans, mutual funds and individuals own a majority of the shares.
When these companies are wounded and perhaps lost what do you think will happen to the price of your little rice burner? That’s right, you poor economically dull liberal, the price will rise, rise, and rise.
You Liberals live with the idea government can save you from everything when the reality is that government does almost nothing but cause economic problems. Raising taxes has never, ever balanced the budget. A hot economy is what balances the budget and that is the result of money in the hands of business which then creates jobs, income and tax revenue.
Trying to teach you the way the world works is becoming as tedious as reading your nonsense. You are driven by a socialist theory that has never succeeded and by a “head in the sand” defense plan that results in the rest of your body exposed to destruction.
