Mnmmm, Jim. Does this mean Garafallo is the DNC’s next Naomi Wolf? How weird, a bunch of liberal women posing as feminists when all they really want is a bureaucratic Stepford Partner.

Big Brother? No, Big Husband. The Nanny State? No, the Hubby State. “Seven Grooms for the Seven Sisters”, etc.

This trend story is just frivolous enough to be true. Reminds one of the curious way in which candidate G.H.W. Bush’s surprise choice of handsome Dan Quayle closed a 17-point gender gap overnight, without any of the women polled knowing anything about the Junior Senator other than what he looked like.

Men, and their indefatigable basic instincts, get rough treatment in political discourse these days. Now, what’s good for the gander’s good for a goosing.

Stylistic note: I admire your freshening of a cliche, with “chills the spines of…” That’s very good.

Would somebody please invite Jim a time machine so he can travel back to the 1950s, where everybody is happily married with 2.3 kids, the American dream is a suburban tract house and the sun always shines. Then those of us who understand the complexities of the 21st century world we live in can actually make progress without being held back by those who think every problem can be solved by a bumper sticker slogan.

Good morning, Jim.

Your reporting that 41% of the population being outside the current taxing environment is prima facie evidence of the need for tax reform.

I, by the Eternal, embrace the notion that everyone, who uses or enjoys all the conveniences of government, should have the honor and the privilege of contributing to their promulgation.

Of course, the liberals…excuse me…the progressives are not in favor of that because some of their on the dole constituency would have to ante-up. The corporatists don’t want that because they would lose their breaks and perks under the current tax system and have to pay more.

Given the current rump attitude of this Congress, I am beginning to wonder if they are going to address the issue of the Alternative Minimun Tax (an idiot’s solution to a 1960’s problem) or not.

As to your second point in today’s column concerning the role of women in the political process, Boortz places all the blame for the political chaos of the past 100 years in America on the notion of women suffrage. While I reject that notion, of course, how would it be if instead of photo I.D. as a requirement for voting, we demanded, instead, a tax receipt!!!

Combine the two: fewer people who pay taxes and a growing bloc of women who rely on government for their financial security and their household’s well-being.

I say down with non-tax-paying people and down with women! That will fix our problems - in just a generation or two.

I wonder why - when a conservative wants to whine about people who don’t pay taxes - they concentrate on income taxes. I don’t imagine it could be that they know that those people of course pay all sorts of other taxes to support the government, and if they admitted that it would weaken their argument.

Well, when us rednecks elect the Rev. Huckabee next year we’ll put a stop to all these unwed women having babys. We know most of them are Those People but a few are White and of course the illegal Mexicans breed like rabbits.

Me and my buddy Jim Earl was talking about this the other night. We decided the country needs to return to God and the pure Republican way.

We come up with alot of ideas about how to get rid of women having all kinds of babys without getting married. We call it Rednecks and Jim Earls Plan:

Anyway, me and Jim Earl figure we will be back to the 1920s and the good old days in no time at all if we take these steps. We figure the Republicans will get about 80% of the vote. There will still be a few libruls around with the vote, but not many. Taxes will be low again and Those People will be put in their place.

Anyway, the first step is electing the Revrend Huckabee. With a good Southren Baptist in the White House, and not one of the phonys like Carter, we can be living in a kind of paradise on earth.

More numbers from Mr. Wooten. I like numbers. What about them numbers from the November jobs report? What was it, 30% were gov’t jobs. That’s my idea of small gov’t. When a gov’t employee pays taxes, is it considered double taxation? I suppose some would say no - as long as they earned that money. I want a gov’t job. I think I’m entitled to a gov’t job. After all, I pay taxes. I want health care, dental plan, vision plan, 401k, pension plan….you know - all those things that come with a gov’t job. I’m entitled to it.

What the Tiny Tim Institute found after mining birth record data from 1987-2007:

To gain Universal Healthcare, all unmarried women have to do is name their babies Mohammed.

The number of babies born with lit exploding-cigars in their mouths went from a third to fully half of all babies. If this trend continues, this country will be completely populated by nappy-headed, Fidel-Castro-Mulattos by 2015.

The largest segment of the Republican Voting Base is still Diebold Stuffed Ballot Fraud machines.

In total, there are 53 million unmarried dwarfs of voting age, and there’ll be even more if we cant stop them from chilling the champagne and having drunken orgies at spineless taxpayers expense.

Jim Wooten’s expose on voting demographics and imminent Universal Heathcare shows that he has f-f-found the problem. Now all he has to do is hire f-f-focus groups, (and I know he can), then he should f-f-foil the voters with incomprehensibly ph-ph-phrased ballot summaries, (vote yes to defeat the anti-abortion-amnesty proposition P), and then f-forget ‘em.

It has been my experience that women rule by ordering men to perform the impossible, then when the men have performed the impossible, the women take all the credit. When men fail to perform the impossible, all the blame falls on them. I look forward to 8 years of Hillary abusing men in such a manner - at least she will not be killing them, or dismembering them as the CnC has been doing for the last six plus years.

phil o sopher @9:21 a.m.,

Sorry, you’ll have to settle for the modern government job—being a contractor. You are completely out of it if you think government hires plain old employees any more. Rather, under our Beloved Leader, full-time government jobs are now being filled mostly by employees of contracting firms like Lockheed, Electronic Data Services, etc.

Technically, these contracting employees aren’t government employees, so they receive no government benefits. But they do the same work as government employees. Many of them have no fringe benefits at all—not even sick leave—and they typically get paid less than full-time government employees. But they cost the taxpayers roughly 25% more than full-time government employees. After all, Lockheed et al. have to make a profit from them.

So educate yourself. Hang around a federal government building some time and observe how many employees have that yellow stripe on their badges, signifying contractor status. As a frame of reference for you, roughly 40% of all CDC employees are contractors. Many other federal agencies have at least that proportion of contractors.

So good luck on acquiring that status as the Republican version of a government employee, but you will probably stick to your current job. And invest in the stock of the firms that furnish these contracting employees to the federal government.

Women rule because of the way they look walking away from the bed. If that’s right, then your world is right. Point, game, set, Match: Maria, Dorothy, Linda, Patricia, Ingrid, Elizabeth, Sharon…..etc

If these single women exist in this country, (I’ve never seen even one), then they are America, and how they vote is America.

But I question the data. 53 million unmarried girls gone wild? I go to bars, beaches, grocery stores, and fundraisers. All I ever see are the fat, moustachioed Aunt Beas and their overbearing obnoxious voices about “get out of the way, you bum. Put down that sandwich, that’s for the blind people. What’s your badge number? Take your hands off me. Use the Cuspidora. That’s what it’s fora.”

SO I question the data. I went to spring break in Daytona Beach in 1971. All I ever saw were fat guys wearing beer hats shouting “Whoo”. No chicks. There’s never any chicks, and when there are chicks anywhere, they’re surrounded by fifty guys, wearing beer hats shouting “whooo”. I hated that springbreak.

Show me these unmarried women. I will see these unmarried women you speak of, mr jim. I wish to buy them. the girl, I wish to buy one of the girls. You will show me.

THE Captain was all prepared to salute Jim’s return to relevancy today, with a solid Captain Kudo for his call to reverse the 19th Amendment. THE Captain was poised to let fly with deep Captain wisdom about the evil perpetrated by allowing non-men persons the right to vote. This led them to think they actaully have opinions, which leads directly to the sorry spectacle of Sister Dusty littering this august forum with her twinkie bromides and lemon square wise cracks.

But instead, THE Captain was stopped in His tracks by this remark by our resident beer delivering, mouth breathing yokel:

No night clubs or bars except for the ones that let in men only.

There you have it. Redneck is a Friend of Dorothy. Think about it, it all makes sense. The constant stories about him and Jim Earl had me wondering, but I really thought it was only sheep that need fear Redneck.

Curious Observer at 10:00 AM,

I must still assume that the jobs report is accurate in that 30% of the jobs were indeed gov’t jobs (the gov’t wouldn’t lie to us). Hence, perhaps the other 70% were indeed the contract jobs you refer to since these should not be reported as gov’t jobs even if they get paid by the gov’t. So, let’s see how those numbers work out - 30% legitimate gov’t jobs to 70% illegitimate gov’t jobs. Sounds like the makings of a landslide voting block. Regardless, I still think I am entitled to a gov’t job. I pay taxes and my taxes don’t qualify for double taxation status. And besides, who said you had to hang around a fed building to see our gov’t in action. There’s more - much more - to gov’t than fed gov’t. I know. At this point you are probably thinking to yourself - this person REALLY needs an education. That 70% is private sector jobs. They don’t pose any drain on the taxpayer - only a true gov’t sector job does that. Now if any of those jobs were in healthcare and they took money from welfare, medicaid, medicare, etc., then those jobs might be considered as effectively being gov’t jobs. Or, if any of those jobs were related to any portion of the finance industry that convinced local gov’t to invest in SIVs, then those jobs might well be considered as supported by taxpayer, i.e., effectively gov’t jobs. But that’s not the real world. No! In the real world we give CEOs of drug companies, insurance companies, healthcare companies free reign to back date stock options and (to add insult to injury) tell them they can cash them all in tax free - as long as they hold them for one year. Now isn’t that the American - no, Republican - no, Democrat - Dream. Sing Hallelujah.

But his bigger faux pas may be not showing the ability to be a merciless pr!ck regarding this most touchy of issues.

If he really wanted to sit in the big chair in 2009 he would say something along the lines of, “Darn tootin’ I’m PO’d at myself for contracting with a company who won’t keep those illegal scumbags off the payroll. And, of course, I should have looked VERY closely at that but like everyone else in this country I just turned a blind eye and said, Damn that’s a good price!”

“Henceforth, I will go after these companies, no matter how big or small, that keep honest hard working Americans who want a menial job out of work.”

If only he took a pragmatic approach to the problem like Ed Meese did on the even bigger problem of pornography in America. Cut off the supply and the demand will dry up. Or is it the other way around? At any rate it’s painfully obvious that this Taxachusetts RINO, debonair or not, is new to the prohibition game.

Why is it that the only thing that the left wing “civil rights champions” and race baiters can see is race or gender?

And here I thought all people were created, or “evolved” for you dimwits, equal?

And most importantly, that we should be picking the leader of the free world based on their qualifications?

I doubt it, but maybe so. Certainly, it’s true that we can’t let in everyone who wants to come. There is some number of immigrants that is too many. I don’t believe we’re past that point, but maybe we are. In any event, a democracy has the right to decide that it has reached such a point. There is no obligation to be fair to foreigners.}}}}

So now that he’s set up the Conservative Boogeyman, he proceeds to pummel it senseless.

Real fair fight, Michael.

Problem is, anybody can go to an emergency room or a public school and see that we have a problem.

So why do liberals want to increase our burden, open our borders to the whole world, to swamp America with law breakers?

Because poor people typically will fall for the idiot liberal rhetoric that they spew and will vote for democrats.

As always, the democrat party comes before America does.

Why do liberals continue to lie about our brave soldiers?:

I promise you there isn’t one.

Spicoli’s candidate

{{{{{Just a year earlier, 31-year-old Dennis Kucinich had been elected mayor. Now the city was in bankruptcy. Six hundred jobs had been slashed, including 400 policemen and firefighters. The neighborhood development corporations, once the backbone of Cleveland’s renewal, had been drained of their funding. And City Hall had been overrun with an army of novitiates, whose qualifications began and ended with their loyalty to the mayor.}}}}}

The man charged with averting disaster was the city’s 24-year-old finance director, whose only work experience was a nine-month stint at Merrill Lynch. The acting police chief was a 21-year-old college coed with wispy bangs. The inevitable implosion of Kucinich’s scorched-earth rise to mayor had arrived.

Reel News: Three musicians have been murdered in a week in Mexico. Each murder was a ritual bound-and-gagged bludgeoning, and each occured separately. Have the Mexicans finally grown tired of the Mexican Hat Dance? Has the Frito Bandito finally lost it? It’s a mystery. But there’s a serial killer on the loose in Old Mexico.

Nasa delayed the space shuttle launch. Fuel gauges failed. Then there was a near miss at BWI airport where two jumbo jets landed within a few hundred feet of each other. Fuel Gauges failed then too. Is this somehow connected with the Mexican Hat Dance which was playing on the overhead speakers inside the airport at the time of the near collision?

The nutcracker rehearser girl in the panda suit who fell off the stage blamed scientology which has been banned by Germany. Mormons everywhere breathed a sigh of relief.

Something’s in the offing. Hari Krishnas were soliciting in that airport too, when the near collision occured, and dont call me shirley.

Merry Christmas all. I just spent a wonderful afternoon with Chairman Ann’s newest, “If Democrats Had Brains They Would Be Republicans.” Funny book, a collection of her best one-liners. I recommend it to all of my conservative friends, and maybe our leftist friends would wish to color some pictures. Among her observations is that if only males had voted, the only time a democrat would have been elected in the past 55 years was 1964. She correctly notes that the republican party wants blacks, but does not need them, whereas the democrats need them but don’t particularly want them (ask Donna Brazille, whom Ann describes as one of the last three democrats with a brain - I assume the other two are Zell and Joe Lieberman.) I perceive the Chairman would approve of Jim’s argument.

Well, all except for the fact that none of this bad news has happened, right now it’s just a POS Urinal wish list, in fact, the exact opposite is happening:

{{{{Information provided to the Americans from their ranks has led to the discovery in Diyala of more than 500 improvised explosive devices; in addition, their tips have led U.S. forces to arrest 265 suspected al-Qaida members, according to Army statistics.}}}}

Gee, I wonder if that’s because Conservatives have demanded that English is the primary language taught in public schools?

Besides which, this is just another stupid lib strawman argument, I could care less what language they speak as long as they pay taxes and follow all the other responsibilities of being a legal citizen.

{{{{Unfortunately, neither common sense nor logic shows up much in the contentious, often bitter and sometimes bigoted debate over illegal immigration. Undocumented workers from south of the border have been blamed for decaying neighborhoods, a fraying social safety net and the declining fortunes of the American worker.}}}}

Oh, so now low paid illegal immigration doesn’t lower wages and standards of living or overburden the education and health systems.

Why just this morning I was looking at more numbers. I saw a private sector job that paid $7 / hr and a gov’t job that paid $11 / hr. Let’s have some fun with Math. Take 7/11 and multiply by 100 and what do you have? The private sector job only pays 64% as much as the gov’t job. But that’s not even the whole picture. You see, the private sector job does not include health care, vision care, dental care, 401k, pension, paid sick days, paid vacation days, holidays, etc. I think you get the picture - don’t you? And all of this is what the Republican party has to offer. It’s a good thing for us that they’re the party that believes in being fiscally conservative and believes in minimal government.

The biggest myth in history is an economic one: less government = less taxes = GNP growth which trickles down into jobs for the average schmoehawk. It hasn’t worked that way in 400 years for anyone. There are no jobs, but there are slave positions available. Slavery never died away, after the civil war. The biggest con job in the history of mankind was how corporations realized it was cheaper to not house, feed or clothe slaves, but to free them and pay them to house, feed and clothe themselves, (good luck with that). The money saved was the big “ah ha” (ach so) moment which thrust corporate america into the modern age of piracy and treason.

Most of us are slaves, but we aren’t allowed on the plantation after our shifts are over, that’s all. And we think we got it so good because we’re number one, america uber alles, well folks, you better sit down, cause this aint America, this is a Saudi Royal Family sweatshop, and Cheney is the shop steward, and the Snidely Whiplash landlord who sold us out. Cheney sold our country to the Saudis. Everyone knows it. Everyone.

Prediction about the future in America: Blackwater type militia will rule our streets as foreign whales own more and more land and become citizens. They will need the militias to protect themselves from a bitter and displaced native population of 300 million americans who cheney hates so much he sold us out. It’s Cheney, people. It’s always been cheney. He’s the rat. History will not be kind to us if we let him get away with this. I want my country back. The Saudis can go feckle themselves. Ditto Cheney. Cheney belongs behind bars.

My fellow americans: Prosecute Cheney now, and save your county and your very lives.

Well, If I can’t have one of them cushy gov’t jobs - with all them taxpayer paid cushy benefits that are but the American Dream of the taxpayers - can’t we at least give them gov’t jobs to these unwed women with children? Why, we could even make them “green” jobs by setting up day care centers right in their homes while they telecommute. I’m willing to share. I want a gov’t job. I’m entitled to a gov’t job. I’ll even go “green”. Why do I want a gov’t job, you may ask? Well,

The first thing you learn as a good Republican is that an education is the key to your success. No child left in the dust = No adult left not paying taxes (Gov’t economics 101). Unfortunately, a lesser known side effect of this higher learning is the ability to “reason with Math”. Once you are able to do this, you immediately start to explore those wealth-making options. CEOs and other executive-level positions look real interesting unless the gov’t is sticking its nose in where it doesn’t belong and questioning back-dated stock options and other such previously unquestioned business practices. Anyway, in order to keep this message brief, once you work your way through this line of reasoning, you are left with two final options: a)gov’t job or b)televangelist. With my personality, I think I better stick with (a). I’m entitled.

Carbon credits? Look what’s happening at the dupes in front of you before buying into this scheme. Really! … is this a big money maker for everyone but the little guy?

As Commission President, José Manuel Barroso likes to boast that Europe “leads the world on climate change”, the cornerstone of its policy being the world’s largest “emissions trading scheme”, based on buying and selling “carbon credits”. In its first year, Britain paid out £470 million while Germany made £300 million profit (despite ordering 26 new coal-fired power stations).

*NHS hospitals had to spend £1.7 million on credits, while BP and Shell made £40 million. The EU’s electricity supply industry enjoyed a windfall profit of £13.6 billion, with the biggest losers UK electricity consumers, whose bills rose by as much as 12 per cent. The net result was that EU carbon emissions rose by 1.5 per cent.

Doesn’t sound quite right to me but then I’m not prone to hysteria like those on the left are.

I’m assuming that NHS stands for National Health Service hospitals.

Today’s all-important Sunday DNC-AJC lead editorial, written for the shameless Editorial Board by Maureen Downey, is another flawless example of why the paper—and Democrats in general—should not under any circumstances attempt discussion of education.

The titular topic is charter schools, and their inferiority, in the DNC-AJC’s eyes, to charismatic organizations. Down the school, up the teacher. Trouble is, Ms. Downey doesn’t have a clue what a school is, what its structure is, where a teacher fits into all this, etc. Nor does she seem to have even a passing acquaintance with 50 years’ and billions of dollars’ worth of American education research.

The leader is so utterly full of edulibberish that any random sentence of it—and every sentence is a random one—could serve as a cultural text of “the great mumb-jumbo and cure-all of our times”, education. Ms. Downey and the local chapter of Young Democrats have no concept whatever of the schooling structure of which they write.

In adding to the nonsense thinking on a bureaucratic machine that devours children daily, the DNC-AJC makes itself complicit, with all the other Democrats, in the maintenance of that terrible device.

It would be better were the paper to return to libeling the innocent, as it recently has been doing with a supercilious gusto surpassing even that with which it destroyed the heroic Richard Jewel.*

Moron Jim says: As the nation discovered decades ago with welfare policies that pushed men out of the lives of poor women, except for procreation, women who previously found security in marriage turned instead to government. As Greenberg Quinlan Rosner find, unmarried women are a rich vein to be mined by Democrats.

What Moron Jim doesn’t tell you is that the policies didn’t push men out, it saved millions of children from starvation and disease. These men weren’t present to begin with so they were never ‘pushed out.’ So in order for his straw man to work, Moron Jim must twist facts and outright lie. Typical of neocon Rethuglicon boolickers like Moron Jim and his ilk.

Another thing that Moron Jim conveniently omits is that courts are going after these absent fathers, but in many cases they are incapable of paying support because either they don’t have any money or they are in prison. So who steps up to the plate for these children? Not Moron Jim and his ‘compassionate conservative’ buddies. Instead, they push everything off on charities or the “free market.” Like that will solve all the problems.

One more thing Moron Jim doesn’t tell you is his motivations for this diatribe against poor women and children. His moralistic sensibilities are offended by people that have sex and aren’t married. So in effect, he is punishing women for having sex by keeping them poor. But, Moron Jim and his buddies want to ban all abortions so women would be punished for having sex by forcing them to have an unwanted child. Real compassionate Moron Jim.

When you vote Rethuglicon, you vote against your own best interests. And Moron Jim’s attack on poor women and children is living proof.

Correction. The men were present at the moment of conception. Women chose to let them attend.

Why would a woman choose to sleep with a guy with no future or who’s on his way to prison?

The free market is available to anyone who wants to take advantage of its rewards. We’ve provided education for these women. Why have they chosen not to benefit from it?

As a conservative I wouldn’t want to vote for Romney if he won the nomination. Why? Because he would pursue prosecuting physicians who perform abortions. He would do that only if each state opted to overturn Roe v Wade. That will never happen.

As a taxpayer I don’t want to support the extracurricular activities of stupid women. Their children? That’s a whole different story. I don’t want to pay to kill them but I would gladly pay and promote simplification of the adoption process.

“Thanks Brit, it now appears shockingly true that the Nobel Committee has secretly created yet another award, the Nobel Unprovoked Invasion Prize, nicknamed the Waterboard Award.”

“A Nobel spokesman said that given the current realities in the world it seemed foolish not to establish such a prize.”

“The inaugural candidates are George W. Bush, Dick Cheney, Norman Pohoretz, Yuri Andropov, Idi Amin, Adolph Hitler (both posthumously) and an obscure blogger from Georgia in the United States, known only as Luckoduh.”

“When asked for his comments, Al Gore, who is in Oslo to receive his Nobel Peace Prize Award, just laughed and said, “That is one strong slate of candidates but I wouldn’t rule out Luckoduh.”

For more than an hour, the bipartisan group, which included current House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.), was given a virtual tour of the CIA’s overseas detention sites and the harsh techniques interrogators had devised to try to make their prisoners talk.}}}}

I wonder why she didn’t whine then?

Maybe we could get real lucky with these tapes and find the Rose Law firm billing records or maybe John F’ing Kerry’s Vietnam service files.

The plot thickens.

{{{{In three new MSNBC/McCLATCHY/Mason-Dixon polls of Iowa, New Hampshire and South Carolina, the national frontrunner, Hillary Clintoon, leads in all three states but It’s lead is not outside the margin of error in any of those states. It’s largest lead is three points, statistically insignificant.

Yeah, that’s what my mom meant by “basic”, a word she sometimes employed to describe her lifelong infatuation with my father. At the opposite, Fanny&Alexander end of the spectrum from Basic was my own sensation of a coup de tete, a why-didn’t-I-think-of-that moment when I happened across Kierkegaard’s mid-19th Century anthropology of moral stage development. It’s so self-evident: humans are born with bestial instincts—not a bad start; they usually proceed, through aesthetic experience, to form tastes, prejudices as to which is beautiful & which ugly in the world; non-sociopaths later develop a moral sense and, if they’re really evolved in the Dane’s cosmology, an atunement and obedience to one’s soul, the divine image within.

Once the Plame/Wilsons hatched their plot to out her for cash there wasn’t much we could do about it.

Except of course prosecute them.

Destroying those tapes was pretty stupid, but it pales in comparison to how stupid it was to have made the tapes to begin with.

But interrogation is torture dontchaknow…

Back in April, I noted the brutal murders of three Christians who worked at a Bible publishing house in Turkey who had their throats slit by vengeful Muslims. The alleged killers exulted: “Let this be a lesson to the enemies of our religion.” The trial of the five accused murders began last month, but is dragging on. Now, Turkish media outlets are reporting on a chilling possible connection between the defendants and the police

Yes, @@, I guess we might as well make it explicit, at the risk of being conservative prudes: it’s a hallmark of our times that liberals move mountains—after all, they specialize in knowing how to make a difference—to elevate sexual license to a position bordering on a phallic or fecund cult, except that the mountains they raze are the spectacularly beautiful mountains of procreation and of loving responsibility. So that to our eyes it often seems that they have reduced all the lives, liberty & treasure gambled in the Revolution, and all the persons and patrimony spent since, to this rather Parisian sentiment: The Right to Orgasm.

Jim,

You use the number of single women in your statistics, but act as if all single women are bearing children and raising them on welfare. The voting statistics refer to all single women, many of whom are educated, have jobs, and pay taxes, along with women who may have children and those who may not pay taxes and fit the argument you are dishonestly making. The issue of single women and their voting patterns is clearly more complicated than the fact that they all rely on government to support their families. Women vote Democratic for many other reasons, which may include issues relating to fiscal responsibility (balancing budgets), war policy, opportunities for women, and limited government intervention in the personal lives of its citizens. In a weak attempt to make your dubious point, you fail to mention voting patterns where many people vote against their financial interests regularly in response to the republicans stirring them up about gay marriage or terrorism! On the bright side, at least you don’t try to use the tag line of “Fair and Balanced”.

As to Plame, the flame they tend, there are strict laws regarding the “outing” of active undercover agents, even those of the CIA.

Getalife @ 3:15:

Don’t you find it rather suspicious that C. Stafford Smith was a journalist before he became a civil rights attorney? What is he doing sharing a conversation he had with his client and how can you be sure that it’s true?

You tend to oversimplify the most complex issues. Efforts are underway as I type for trials at Guantanamo to begin and they’ve put a woman in charge. Her motto?

Don’t Pet the Terrorists. In other words: Treat detainees humanely but don’t be so eager to make up for past abuses that you put yourself or your country at risk.

Army Col. Wendy A. Kelly - a Philadelphia lawyer who is the executive producer of America’s forthcoming terrorism trials against 80 detainees - sees parallels in this expression to her own behind-the-scenes work here, including building a $12 million courtroom.

“On one hand, you have our ideal of the presumption of innocence, and then you have the notion that you are dealing with people who could be - well, most likely are - guilty of terrible crimes and are our sworn enemy,” she says. “How you handle that is the challenge.”

The fact that it took so long to figure out how to deal with the detainees may have something to do with the surprise of 9/11.

You and the liberals have this incessant need to undermine our efforts at every turn. The trials will be set up in such a way as to allow for transparency. I for one am tired of you guys declaring guilt before innocence when it comes to anything WE (the U.S.) attempt to do.

Liberals are the most impatient bunch of people I’ve ever had the misfortune to witness. It must be a real adrenalin rush to remain hysterical all the time.

Dusty,

I beg to differ. Sexual politics very much on point, as @@ first noted. I think also the very first post in this string drops Jim’s other shoe pretty unsubtly. Consider the sexual politics of GHWB’s vanishing gender gap. Voila!

The column, if true, lays contemporary feminism bare. That’s the point.

Carville might as well have posted, “It’s the sex, stupid!” And then he, and not Mary, would’ve been on the lookout for “bimbo eruptions”.

As for your off-point remark about others’ remarks about liberals undoing the nation’s knitting, they undo their own. One need not even depart from the day’s topic: consider how feminism had devoured itself, even absent Jim’s stats, with its disappearing act on Afghan women and girls, on Afro-Muslim subincision, on the newfound freedom of Iraqi women, on the struggles of Persian women to gain dignity and independence, even on L’Affaire de Teddy Bear.

Let’s check in and see how the Clintoon quagmire is doing, 8 years on:

{{{{Obviously, it is not a safe place to be eight years after the 1999 bombing. Foreign armies still occupy Serbian lands; the crime rate is horrific; minorities whisper and quiver. Slavery, drugs, intimidation, assault, smuggling and fear permeate the daily lives of ordinary citizens under the noses of complacent Kosovo Force troops and yawning European Union dignitaries.}}}}

Maybe we shouldn’t have cut and run, you reckon?

Another “ally” abandoned by the democrats.

~~~~~

{{{{The NIE begins with the sensationalist opening line: “We judge with high confidence that in fall 2003, Teheran halted its nuclear weapons program.” But the rest of the report contradicts the lead sentence. For instance, the second line says, “We also assess with moderate-to-high confidence that Teheran at a minimum is keeping open the option to develop nuclear weapons.”}}}}

{{{{The NIE’s final sentence: “We assess with high confidence that Iran has the scientific, technical and industrial capacity eventually to produce nuclear weapons if it decides to do so,” only emphasizes that US intelligence agencies view Iran’s nuclear program as a continuous and increasing threat rather than a suspended and diminishing one.}}}}

Uh, so where is the opening sentence coming from?

{{{{Finally the US intelligence community’s pathetic track record must be taken into account. American intelligence agencies failed to take note of the al-Qaida threat to US security before September 11. It misjudged Saddam Hussein’s weapons of mass destruction capabilities and intentions. And most recently, it failed to take notice of Syria’s nuclear program even though the North Korean nuclear facility which Israel reportedly destroyed on September 6 was built above ground.}}}}

Apparently single women, lacking the embrace of a man, long for the embrace of the State. Maybe Harlequin could exploit this demographic by launching a new line, “I Love Big Brother Romances.” The covers could show women being ravished by handsome and muscular IRS agents.

(Although what they really need to be reading is Hayek’s ROAD TO SERFDOM or Hazlitt’s ECONOMICS IN ONE LESSON. Maybe someone could put out an edition of FREE TO CHOOSE with Milton Friedman’s head grafted onto Fabio’s body.)

Just remember, ladies, that government can only do things FOR people to the extent it can do things TO people. So the “servicing” (to use a polite term) you get from the State may not be the “servicing” you gals desire.
