The water police don’t really care about violations just like speed traps don’t care about safety. Its all about a new tax on the public.

Its sad that neighbors only see each other when filing complaints to the county. This is a sad sign of our times.

My toilet leaked for 4 months and I used up more water than any outdoor watering, I tried fixing it and eventually had to just turn off the water at the wall when I was done. How many people are like me and use too much water due to a poorly designed “new flush toilet” (American Standard Champion) The guy at Home Depot said everyone who bought one has reported problems.

Good morning all. Bizarre, just before reading Jim’s second essay on water, I read a nearly identical argument on taxes, http://www.opinionjournal.com/extra/?id=110010694 No allegation of plagiarism here – the essays published nearly simultaneously. Just bizarre timing for me.

I’m glad Jim raises the Rush Limbaugh kerfuffle. I think the Congress ought to debate the issue, and bring it to a vote, just as they did the MoveOn ad. I am comfortable that the allegation against Mr. Limbaugh is false – he is not the military’s favorite talk show host for nothing – and it may be interesting to see if Mr. Limbaugh would be invited to speak on behalf of the 2008 opponents of his detractors. I’m all for free speech, both sides, (to steal a clever line) as it makes it easier to identify the idiots.

I think it would make as much sense to impose a “per abortion” tax to fund children’s health care. However, I think we should waive the fee for all leftist abortions – don’t want to inadvertently discourage useful abortions.

I partially object to a broad rule preventing sealed litigations on government fraud allegations. False allegations ought not be public currency. Private customer identifiers ought not be public currency. E.g., if there is an allegation that jbmlaw’s doctor defrauded medicare by overbilling for jbmlaw’s Viagra, and it is settled by summary judgment proof that jbmlaw’s doctor never billed medicare, that sort of stuff ought not be in public discourse. Most of the time such cases are settled by a payment unknown to the court; what is a court to do?

only a complete idiot would argue against water regulations in metro atlanta. and you would have to be even dumber to think the “free market” (haha - as if we actually have a free market) will be sufficient in managing our water problem (and yes - there is a water problem, and no - it is not only the result of drought or endangered species). i guess you right wing sychophants have finally given up the label “conservative”, since you have no concept of what it means to conserve, or to be prudent (letting business interests do whatever they want whenever they want to is not prudent or conservative). since your not conservatives anymore, i think we will just call you all “republik-ers” (that’s the suitable for mixed company term, anyway). my question for JBMLAW: how are you going to wipe Wooten’s butt for him when we run out of water?

• Professors lament that they age and their students don’t — with the consequence that a huge gap develops in their common knowledge. “You have to remind yourself” said one, “that they won’t know who George H.W. Bush was, or they’ll have vaguely heard of Reagan. Vietnam is a passing reference that people make.” All of which is offered here to explain why Wayne Williams continues to get hearings on his search for the real killer of Atlanta’s missing and murdered. Williams was convicted 25 years ago, after which the killings stopped said Jim Wooten.

It is self evident that professors age but their students don’t etc. But the gap developed in their common knowledge doesn’t explain why the search for the real killer of Atlanta’s missing and murdered continues after twenty five years. Allow me to put forward a reasonable explanation.

I had the occasion of witnessing this reasonable explanation. Here are the facts. An acquaintance was falsely arrested for a misdemeanor crime in the city of Atlanta. A preliminary hearing followed the next day. The judge found probable cause to bind the case over for trial in State court.

The State provided a public defendant, lawyer, for the accused. The public defendant asked the accused to plead guilty and he would work out a favorable outcome for him with the judge. The accused rejected the offer, fired the public defendant, and maintained his innocence.

The State refused to go forward with the case. The State postponed many scheduled trial dates. Over two years had passed without a trial. The case was referred to one judge, then another, and another etc. Finally one decided to schedule a speedy date, two weeks, for trial.

I attended every scheduled court date lending my support to the accused. Finally after over twenty four months, the case went to trial. The complainant, the arresting officer, the prosecutor, and the judge testified in court that there had not been a preliminary hearing in the case. So consequently, there could be no testimony concerning such a hearing.

It was one of the worst days in my life as an African American. The official court records spoke for themselves. There had been a preliminary hearing. I personally read from the transcript that the accused had purchased.

I reasoned if people who enforced the law is corrupt, there could be no justice; especially no justice for African Americans. What was I to think of the millions of African Americans who had been sent to prison by similar courts?

Luckily, a diverse jury easily understood who the real criminals were and cast their verdict in favor of the defendant after only thirty minutes of deliberations; not guilty.

In my mind, the short deliberation by the jury was a stern message sent to the corrupt law enforcement officials who had taken an oath to administer the law without corruption and had failed miserably.

So do you think that’s a terrible situation? It gets worse. The official court transcriber failed to provide a copy of the court proceedings after having been paid by the accused. A lawyer was obtained. The official court transcriber provided an inaccurate copy of the court proceedings.

Are you Americans sure we should stop searching for the real killers of Atlanta’s missing and murdered after twenty five years?

I would suggest to Americans that similar practices by corrupt law enforcement officials caused the fateful day, March 11, 2005, Brian Gene Nichols vs. the State of Georgia.

Water restrictions are to start whipping you ‘burbites into shape. Get used to the idea that water ain’t an endless resource. When lakes are literally going dry, people better get serious. I know Jim and other conservatives are used to just doing whatever you feel like when you feel like it, enabled by the government catering to your every whim. Grow up.

And water restrictions aren’t so much about the individual waste, it’s the collective waste. If everyone uses 10% less water, that’s a big difference. People who whine that they should be able to pamper their lawn because there’s a leak in Sandy Springs should get over it.

Ashley Jenkins can stop flapping her cake hole and do some work if she’s so inclined…though I doubt she’ll do anything of the sort. If Sandy Springs is so dissatisfied with service from the City of Atlanta, they’re free to maintain their own system. Go elsewhere for service or provide your own. When you incorporate, you put your citizens in a second-class slot for services by instituting another level of bureaucrats. Boo-freakin’-hoo for them.

Wooten: Democratic presidential candidate Barack Obama grandly refused to vote on a Senate resolution condemning Moveon.org for its “General Betray Us” ad in the New York Times. Too frivolous, he claimed from the high road. But not too frivolous was a resolution condemning talk show host Rush Limbaugh for an opinion. In that case, he’s for taking up the Senate’s business with a resolution condemning Limbaugh.

What does Limbaugh have you repuglicans that make you so scared to publicly call him a drug addicted, law breaking, coward and fool? This man illegally acquired drugs but somehow in your eyes he’s better than the meth user or crack addict you like to go on and on about. He must have naked pictures of you with Bobby Brown or something.

• The cigarette tax is an effort to drive a legitimate business out of existence — though, in the meantime, the tax burden will fall most heavily on the poor, since they’re the smokers. As with the Georgia Lottery, the poor will be asked to support something that will heavily benefit the middle class.*

Oh please Leona Wooten, when have you EVER cared about the poor? To even write something like that and have it PUBLISHED while totally forgetting those other gems that you’re written in the past 3 years, speaks very highly of how far your mind has deteriorated. Dementia — a mind is a terrible thing to waste.

My Big Brother fear is the Neighborhood Water-Watch Gestapo mobilized during droughts to track down and punish offenders for some minor perceived rule-breaking offense. Get a life.

What’s amazing to me about your comment above ^^ is that you seem to forget that the tide ALWAYS turns. So repugs are in power now, it’s OK to spy on the Dems; what happens when this is reversed? Will you be shaking your fists and gnashing your teeth about the “Big Brother” Dem government then?

Neighborhood Gestapos? I’ve lived in two homes and both had a Gestapo to my “left”, literally and figuratively. Anyhoo, for a liberal, the grass is always “greener” on the other side of the fence. That’s their problem!!!

Councilwoman Jenkins at least knows how to flush out the “rats” in the sewer doesn’t she?

I like Hank but for the “average” Joe that attempts to cross that “bridge”, it’ll usually lead him to nowhere.

Well just like Osama, Obama wants to selectively murder depending on who committed the treason against whom.

So why the lack of interest in American presidents and wars fought to secure freedom? Is it because the fight for Wayne Williams will “Keep Jesse’s Hope Alive?”

Sounds like the Twiggs County school officials were planning to hold the kids for political ransom.

A smoking tax to fund healthcare for children. Gestapo liberals would have everyone believe that smoking within a five-mile radius of any child would bring on illness due to second-hand smoke. I think they must be in cahoots with the Democrats….just kill the parents who smoke. That’ll show ‘em!!! Democrats are “on fire” for justice.

Grady’s undocumented documentary? I’m with ‘ya Jim. It’s time for everybody to show up nekkid. Michael Moore was exposed on his lies about America’s healthcare, and it wasn’t a pretty sight either. Strip the “fats” from Grady’s diet.

Inre: Water problems

While there is certainly room for improvement on the part of the citizens and private businesses with regards to saving/using less water (Stone Mountain Park, for example) as we experience this drought, a good deal of blame must be placed at the feet of the Federal Government in the form of the Army Corps of Engineers as well as the Endangered Species Act.

If the Georgia government was not forced to release tens of thousands of gallons of extra water per day from Lake Lanier and other resevoirs in order to “protect” some mussels in Flordia (mussels, I might add, that aren’t edible to humans, so who cares!?), we would not be in the extreme situation we find ourselves in.

While we are experiencing a bad drought, there is more than enough water for the Metro area if we weren’t forced to WASTE it downriver on shellfish, the extinction of which would very likely not really affect anything at all. Give me a break, people. Species go extinct on a daily basis. Something like 98 or 99% of all species that ever existed on this planet are now extinct. It happens. It’s a normal process of nature.

So let’s stop being held hostage by liberal idiots who would rather see an in-edible shellfish live in comfort than a human being. Repeal the Endangered Species Act!

Moron Jim says: You know the service is bad when the real home-run king, Hank Aaron, calls the newspaper in desperation, hoping to shame the city of Atlanta into fixing a neighborhood bridge he considers dangerous and an eyesore. It’s on the list. …

What Moron Jim doesn’t tell you is that the City of Atlanta doesn’t have the money to fix the bridge or the water system or the roads or anything else. See, the Rethuglicons Jim and his ilk elected to run the state just to cut their taxes are funneling millions of dollars away from Atlanta and the metro area to fund projects in their rural districts. While Vidalia gets a “bypass” around the downtown area to alleviate rush hour tie-ups, metro Atlanta has its road improvement projects deferred until 2010 or later for lack of funds. So you get to sit in traffic for even longer just so the good folks in Vidalia don’t have a 15 or 20 minute delay. Now, doesn’t that make you feel all warm inside?

Another thing that Moron Jim doesn’t tell you is that it’s not the drought causing the water shortage. I know that’s hard for you Rethuglicons to understand so I’ll go slow. The water table here in this part of the country is not very large. So they built Lake Lanier and several other “flood control” lakes to siphon off water from the Chattahoochee River. That was in the late ’50s so it looked like Lanier would last forever. But in come the Rethuglicons with their absurd view of unlimited natural resources that are to be exploited and began a spree of rapid, unchecked, and poorly planned building of both subdivisions and office space. If you build it, they will come. So now you have all these people who need water to keep their yards and plants nice and green and run their dishwashers for that glass they just used and wash their SUVs so they look neat and shiny and - well you get the point. The office buildings need water too; lots of water for flush toilets and fire sprinkler systems and indoor fountains and A/C systems. Waste, waste, waste. Now the Rethuglicons wanted to make sure all this water was cheap so they made sure no one paid what it really cost to make and deliver all that water. So there was no money to maintain the water and storm drain and sewer systems; until it broke and then you fixed it but that’s all. Remember, people are entitled to an unlimited supply of cheap water. Just like gasoline only without the wars (unless you count the dispute with AL and FL). Now we have too many people for the supply and a water system that in some places is over 100 years old and leaks like a sieve with no money to fix it. The drought is only showing you the future. At some point you are going to have to pony up billions of dollars to fix the water systems. At some point, cities and counties will have to mandate things like low consumption flush toilets and charge higher rates. But that won’t solve the real problem which is too many people for the area to support. When you vote Rethuglicon, you vote against your own best interests. The water shortage is living proof.

I always find it so amusing when people take republican and democrat radio entertainers so seriously (oh, I know - they claim to be “conservative” or “liberal” but the distance these entertainers are willing to stray from the party line is roughly the distance between the good earth and a pregnant ant).

Limbaugh, Colter, Frankin, Boortz, Begala, etc. should be viewed like professional wrestlers. They provide entertainment, nothing more. When they need attention, just like wrestlers, they say or do something particularly outlandish out of left or right field. The bottom line for these people will (and should) always be personal profit.

Speak of Gestapo, how about Dubya and those memos that have been found where his torture of prisoners was laid out. First he said he didn’t do it, then Alberto (Papa Smurf) Gonzalez found a way to get around the law, in and of itself was found to be illegal. Dubya said “the heck with it, I am the Decider and I will do it my way.” I often wondered why John Ashcroft resigned as AG. With the release of documentation that Dubya wanted to be made SECRET, it is apparent Mr. Ashcroft had some sense of decency and respect for the rule of law and the Constitution of the USA.

Water Gestapo: Soak Nazi’s

I’m wondering how many of the “middle income families” that the proposed SCHIP would cover work at places like WalMart, where they lower costs by helping their employees get government assistance or any of the millions of small businesses where the cost of health insurance is unbelievably onerous. I got a job at an FG-500 multinational because I was sick and tired of paying $800 a month for family coverage through an “employer plan” - where the employer basically contributed nothing.

Wooten or JBMLAW, as true conservatives who are for “lower taxes”, why are you not all over this SCHIP plan to succeed. Kids of smokers are normally more sick than kids of non-smokers (that’s a fact), so they are picking up that cost. Middle class families that can put their kids on the SCHIP plans and off of their company plans, their premiums would probably get cut in half (if it was $800 a month, now $400) and that’s in essence a “tax break” of $4800 a year. Multiply that out by all the families that could take advantage and you are pumping millions into the American economy. What am I missing here?

Steve @ 1:28:

I’m a California native. The water battles out there are between urbanites, agriculture and environmentalists.

For as long as I can remember, there have been regional wars over who is entitled to whose water. There was a lot of resentment for urban sprawl in the southern regions which everyone knew was a desert. Expansion of aquaducts to feed water became a big issue for the environmentalists. They said the expansion was destroying the natural beauty and habitats for wildlife.

They were able to mandate conservation efforts on all citizens in the southern region. The economics involved in environmentally friendly expansion became very expensive for the citizens through taxation.

Then the citizens were paying a fortune for water they were restricted from using. Now the efforts are going back to expanding the aquaducts and the environmentalists are ticked.

It’s a vicious circle out there. From the mountains to the low desert regions. When the big one hits, they’ll have to start all over.

It’s far better to smoke tobacco than marijuana. With weed, you may as well be asleep for all the good you can do for your fellow man. With tobacco, you can function and work to quit and go on helping others.

Marijuana was fun in 1967. It’s pathetic now. The country’s over it. Dont smoke dope.

Where the war on drugs should concentrate is elementary school, because that’s where they start now, and that’s where we’ve got to squash it. By middle school, many children are lifetime abusers-in-training. My daughter told me everything. The sex parties in sixth grade. The pot in fifth grade. The ATM heists in preschool. Spying for the chinese at band camp….. she coughed it all up. She sang like a canary. She ratted everyone out. She stool pigeoned her homies. (homie stooled?)

Some of her classmates will never see the light of day again, others will be up for parole…in 45 years. (and those were the ones caught with powedered cocaine, you should hear what happened to the crack babies.)

JBMLAW: i usually resist responding to people who simply repeat broad-stroke talking points without ever connecting them to the real world, but in this case I’ll make an exception for your comment about raising the price of water to control consumption.

Skipping right over the obvious observation about how you right-wing conservatives can’t, under any circumstances, utter the word “conservation” when it comes to environmental issues (a sad affliction you all have); and seeing as how you can’t, under any circumstances, consider there is every any downside to development (other then to paint all who question as “anti-development” with the bluntest of instruments we call “right wing logic”, we’ll just jump to the most obvious and most troubling aspect of your one-note, out of touch comment:

you (and i’m sure wooten) believe that, from an economic and public point of view, there is literally no difference between water and any other consumer product - milk, beer, socks, dinner in a restaurant, etc. it’s just a commodity like all other commodities, and I would argue that is a morally bankrupt position.

but water isn’t ‘just like all other commodities’. water rights - and yes - there is a basic human right to access water (clean, not poisoned by commercial use), transcend the commodification your petty and mean-spirited version of capitalism applies to everything regardless of context.

access to water is a basic human right - something you right-wingers can’t comprehend (much less speak of in public) unless you can directly tie it to some bible verse.

access to water is a matter of national security - something you right-wingers can’t comprehend unless it’s in the form of blindly supporting anything the Failure In Chief (and I do stress failure) decides to make up and say on the news tonight.

acess to water is a matter of the common good - something you “compassionate” (GAG) right-wingers simply left at the doorstep of the last generation or so, without care or concern. your version of social darwinism legitimizes ignoring whole swaths of society, but you are wrong to do that and the selfish, mean-spirited dismissal of anyone who can’t “keep up” will not get you into heaven but it might get you into some pathetic good ol’boy club.

access to water is not simply about paying for it, and planning and accounting for future needs, including regulating development, is actually responsible and one day long ago would have been considered the “conservative” position until you modern-day neo-clods hijacked and gutted anything resembling “conservatisim” and replaced it with the small-minded republik-er view of the world professed by your saint, the C+ george w. bush, worst president in modern history.

Dear Funky Music @ 3:34 yesterday, what you do not get is that SCHIP is the cause of the problem you cite in the medical industry. It is the absence of market discipline - coupled frankly with massive costs attributable entirel to malpractice legal actions - that leads to the unreasonable costs we see there today.

The simplest solution is to abolish malpractice as a cause of action, a blanket state prohibition against suits against medical professionals. There are some adverse consequences to that course, but I think the benefits greatly outweigh those consequences. The second step, to restore market discipline, is to prohibit the sale of any medical insurance policies; if the medical industry has to actually collect fees from real people, the fees will fall to an affordable level. Or the uncompetitive company will fail.

{{{{The U.S. military said it was investigating the deaths of three civilians shot by American sentries near an Iraqi-manned checkpoint near Musayyib, 40 miles south of Baghdad. Iraqi officials said the victims were U.S.-allied guards mistakenly targeted.-Urinal}}}}

Why, of course American soldiers are cold blooded murders and savages, why, the Iraqis said so.

{{{{In a series of raids around Iraq, U.S. troops killed 12 suspected insurgents linked to al-Qaida, the military said.}}}}

Well, well, finally, at least U.S. soldiers finally got some “suspected” insurgents, maybe someone will step forward and call them “children,” there’s always hope, huh, AJC?

Check this out, Americans are doing all of the killing in Iraq now, which means Al Qaeda and JAM have been neutralized and are no longer able to suicide bomb hundreds of women and children.

So the Atlanta Urinal Constitution has to resort to the second “best” bad news stories which happen to be falsified reports from the enemy that American troops are killing babies.

Tell me again, you filthy POS, scumbags, what did Rush Limbaugh do that you Fnuts are so upset about?

And if that^^ wasn’t bad enough:

{{{{A barber pulled out a gun and shot himself in the head at a City Council meeting after his request for a rezoning measure was rejected.}}}}

Gosh, I wonder why he killed himself, you got any ideas on that, POS AJC?:

{{{{Tenn. barber was close to military…. A barber with strong ties to the Fort Campbell, Ky., military community…..Ward was well-known for supporting soldiers from nearby Fort Campbell….”He treated soldiers like his own children,”…. The current commander of the 101st, Maj. Gen. Jeffrey Schloesser, said Ward was well-known by soldiers from generals to privates.….words of encouragement from a patriotic citizen who genuinely cared about soldiers,}}}}

Dear @@ and Bartcop, hope you saw Taranto’s first item yesterday:

Random Bits From the News “Nearly one out of every five Democrats thinks the world will be better off if America loses the war in Iraq,” according to a new Fox News poll:

The percentage of Democrats (19 percent) who believe that is nearly four times the number of Republicans (5 percent) who gave the same answer. Seven percent of independents said the world would be better off if the U.S. lost the war.

Meanwhile, the Associated Press reports from Waterloo, Iowa, that “Democratic presidential candidate Barack Obama said he doesn’t wear the American flag lapel pin because it has become a substitute for ‘true patriotism’ since the Sept. 11, 2001 terrorist attacks”:

“The truth is that right after 9-11 I had a pin,” Obama said. “Shortly after 9-11, particularly because as we’re talking about the Iraq war, that became a substitute for I think true patriotism, which is speaking out on issues that are of importance to our national security.

“I decided I won’t wear that pin on my chest,” he said in the interview. “Instead, I’m going to try to tell the American people what I believe will make this country great, and hopefully that will be a testament to my patriotism.”

And up in Oregon, the Sandy Post reports that Julie Slavick wanted to protect her son from exposure to the National Guard, which conducts team-building exercises with freshmen at Sandy High School:

“I started calling some parents and asked them if they knew anything about it,” said Slavick. “I talked to 12 people and nobody knew what was going on. Some of them had been out of class for two days, others for four days. Every parent I spoke with thought it was a little strange.”

Slavick took her complaint to school administrators and they excused her son, Victor, from participating in the exercises… .

Julie Slavick, for one, appreciates the effort that these organizations put into helping the students, but remains skeptical about what a group like the National Guard brings to the classroom.

“I think it’s great an outside body would want to do something like that, but it seems a little subversive to have military bonding with kids” she said.

What do these stories have in common? Certainly nothing that we can think of. (Whatever you do, don’t estionquay their atriotismpay.)

Jim,

“an effort to drive a legitimate business out of existence”

I think you have a different idea of what a “legitimate business” is than what history has proven. Not only does the entire industry refuse to disclose what is in their products, there is also no “safe” way to use the product that doesn’t put the user’s health at risk.

As an added bonus, the health of people in proximity of the product being used are also at risk!

Name just one other industry that is capable of doing the same? You might say alcohol, but there are proven studies that show a limited consumption of alcohol as being beneficial.

Tax them until the scourge of tobacco is removed from our society. Not only would this put money back into the working poor’s pocket (too expensive to buy cigarettes), but their children’s healthcare would also be taken care of as well. With the extra cash perhaps they will be able to improve their lives.

“If nothing really bad happens, we can muddle through and unwind some of these problems over a lengthy period of time. And if something bad happens, we go into a recession.”

Who but a moron would express a thought choosing this particular syntax: “..Rosie had some nice comments made of her by some….”

The tool:

Sit.

Wait.

Sigh.

Lurk.

ZzZzzzzzz.

Ignore.

Puff puff puff.

Wheeewwwww.

Gurgle gurgle gurgle.

Buuuuuurrrrrrrrrrrp.

“Oh wait, what’s THIS?”

“..Rosie had some nice comments made of her by some….”

Georgia Bulldogs are the worst coached team in the history of college football. I think they should punt on third down the rest of the game just so I dont have to watch the offense anymore. How could a mature adult let a football game get away from him like that? It’s a disgrace. Cant we fire his sorry asz? it’s not fair that football savants like me cant get a coaching job with middle schools, yet this imposter rakes it in while his players pretend they had one minute of instruction.

I could beat the Georgia Bulldogs with a team composed of body parts left over from a weekend’s worth male to female tranny surgery at the mayo clinic plastic surgery training center in Arizona.

I could beat the Georgia Bulldogs with a team of phony soldiers.

I could beat the Georgia Bulldogs with a Brittany Spears photo op. I dont know what that one means.

I could beat the Georgia Bulldogs with only three of the four witches on a quadruple-witch friday. I dont know what that is either.

Maybe I couldn’t beat the Georgia Bulldogs. I can outpost the blog goon, though, hands down.

Look at these libs scheming ways to raise your taxes:

{{{{All this argues for new energy taxes, he says, because higher energy prices are one of the few things that cause people to cut back consumption. While Mr. Dingell has yet to unveil his broader climate-auto legislation, he has been releasing broad outlines. It will include a cap-and-trade system, but alongside that will be a big new carbon tax (probably around $50 a ton), an estimated 50-cent-a-gallon increase in the gas tax, and an end to the mortgage-interest deduction for Americans who own homes larger than 3,000 square feet.}}}}

Tax and spend, wonderful.

50 cents on to a gallon of gas, that should go over real well.

Uh, vote Republican.

~~~~~~

{{{{It’s odd enough to have the Senate Majority Leader, his deputy, and the chairman of the Armed Services Committee, among others, take up the Senate’s time to attack a radio talk show host, instead of, say, working on the appropriations bills that were supposed to have been enacted into law before the new fiscal year began Oct. 1st…. The left wing group Media Matters passed out an edited transcript of the conversation that omitted all references to Mr. Macbeth, to bolster their claim that Mr. Limbaugh had been referring to all antiwar veterans….Let us leave aside for the moment the unpleasant things this sorry episode says about the character of the Democrats engaging in this smear. What does it say about their intellect? Why on earth would they lie, when the truth is so easy to discern?}}}}

Because they are wormy?

Well, well, Mookie got the message:

{{{{Radical Shiite cleric Muqtada al-Sadr and Abdul-Aziz al-Hakim, leader of the largest Shiite political party, the Supreme Islamic Iraqi Council, have promised to “protect Iraqi blood and enhance cooperation between the two movements for the Islamic and national interests and to save the nation.”}}}}

TEHRAN — The Iranian president delivered fiery remarks today about Israel and his country’s nuclear program on the occasion of Qods Day, the annual commemoration of the Palestinian fight against the Jewish state.

Mahmoud Ahmadinejad used the annual occasion marking the Palestinian struggle to criticize Israel’s policies and the West’s taboos on questioning the Holocaust. He repeated his suggestion that the West relocate Israel’s Jews to “somewhere in Canada or Alaska.”

Taboo? Taboo? Have you IDIOTS at the LA Slimes not seen any pictures or spoken with survivors? What the HELL is wrong with you disgusting leftwing coast snotrags?

TUDUN WADA DANKADAI, Nigeria, October 5 (Compass Direct News) – A Muslim rampage last week in this town in the northern state of Kano resulted in the killing of 10 Christians and the destruction of nine churches, according to eyewitnesses. Another 61 people were injured and more than 500 displaced in the September 28 disturbance, touched off when Muslim students of Government College-Tudun Wada Dankadai, a public high school, claimed that a Christian student had drawn a cartoon of Islam’s prophet, Muhammad, on the wall of the school’s mosque.

“In a political discussion with Margaret Carlson on Bloomberg Television yesterday about Craig and other matters, Novak said he was surprised when the Larry Craig scandal hit, and he asked around to his Senate sources to find out who know about this:

“I have talked to several of my sources in the Senate, and this came as a surprise to me…They knew about it. They knew that he had this problem, and it was in the closet. And it was not just a homosexual relationship. It was this weird conduct. They didn’t do anything about it.”

getalife,

So you assert that a fine upstanding pervert such as Barney Frank only uses male prostitutes in the privacy of his own home? Do you also assume all the customers of his lover’s male prostitution business were serviced in private?

You are either the most naive person alive or so caught up in same sex companions you have lost the ability to reason. Assuming you ever had such a capacity.

Your comments on Craig are nothing but partisan bitterness and your blind faithfulness to the Democrats is boring. The Democrats are equally as perverse, self absorbed, greedy and power-driven as the Republicans, you are just blind to reality.

All you ever contribute on this blog is name-calling and cut and paste, both of which are a waste of everyone’s time.

I will give you credit for proclaiming your perversion but you still offer nothing of substance.

Are you bored today without many entries on the blog? Nothing for you to do but sit, hunched over your keyboard, waiting for a sane post you can answer with your demented, cut/paste, name-calling view of the country and the world?

Is the only light ever in your padded room that which comes from the monitor that has your rapt attention every waking moment?

Coca Cola and candy bars your only food?

Vitamin D is a basic need for humans (you are a human?) but the best source is sun light. You should try a trip out of doors every now and then.

Maybe when Frank and Craig come by they can take you down to Piedmont Park for a frolic.

toe tapper, pervert lover, allow me to educate your biased mindset:

Geez, I wonder if our government is broken?

You are supporting a failed party. Both have evolved into corporacrats and corporacans.

The back and forth blindly supporting these parties is ridiculous.

I am way ahead of the learning curve and we should be demanding government reform with term limits like in Louisiana.

But you go right ahead and make excuses for Craig loser.

That is your so called substance.

You can still cut/paste - your idea of intelligent thought.

You are, in fact, so far behind the curve as to be run over in the next election. I have always taken both parties to task here but you are a one trick pony, except when your dear frind Barney Frank stops by.
