You know, with the Speaker getting a quicky divorce, I can’t help to stop and think on the issue of marriage. They (the heterosexuals) state that if gays marry, the whole of western civilization will collapse and God will send His wrath down upon our great state. Well, we better not allow that to happen so the gas can’t marry, lest we all die. So instead we allow teens to have babies out of wedlock and make Oscar winning movies about it, we allow half of all marriages to end in divorce (Tammy sang a song about it). We have husbands and wives cheating on one another. And our government leaders bend the law to their will to end their own marriages quickly and hopefully quietly, or so he thought but God forbid those homosexuals marry, if they do we might just be struck with a horrible drought.

Wait a minute!

TW beat me to it.

Jim your information is simply incorrect. The FISA act has NOT expired. It’s still in place. What did expire is the Protect America act, but even that allows for its provisions to be operable for a year.

Finally, the Dems offered to extend the Protect America Act, just without the retroactive immunity for AT&T. If it’s sooo important for our safety, why wouldn’t the Repubs accept that?

The answer of course is that they aren’t really interested in protecting America, just the big telecom companies.

Tom Price is simply lying, a Bush toadie to the end.

If this whole divorce thing does not reach the highest level of absurdity, what does? Although the Dems and the Rep have both made me non-partison by their deeds, if the Dems don’t scream bloody murder over this one, they been relieved of their cojones conpletely. What a smack in the face to every citizen within the state of Georgia! Elitist behaviors like this have to be called out and be labeled as foolishness regardless of political founding. THe audacity of a public system to hold every other Georgian to a standard that they themselves don’t adhere to. Yet we have the gall to go into other lands and countries and preach our systems, democracies and so forth. It doesn’t work properly here, how can we with good faith propogate it anywhere else?! I am totally appaled that so many ethical issues can be ignored..they were partners at one point, the judges daughter currently works for the B.S. speaker of the house, bypassing the court calendar process, ignoring the 30 day state requirement..shall I go on?

Jim,

1) Do you know what FISA is? Have you ever read the law? Did you know that FISA is in absolutely no danger of expiring?

2) Do you know what the Protect America Act is? Have you ever read the law? Did you know that intelligence officials will still have “the tools” they need, even if the Protect America Act lapses?

3) Have you read the RESTORE Act, the bill passed by the full House? Did you know such a bill even existed?

You should really investigate these things before you just paste a quote in your “column” because you’re too lazy to actually do any research or ask any questions.

Mr. Hooten:

The next time you sit down with Mitt Romney, ask him if he is worried that his endorsement of Senator McCain will be used in four years as just another example of his apparent addictive need to “flip-flop” on every known event. Just three weeks ago Romney was telling us that Senator McCain was a “Clinton-Obama liberal” that could never be acceptable as the Republican nominee. Now he has endorsed Senator McCain as the republican nominee!

Also, next time you see Senator Obama, ask him about his repeated claims of being a candidate that doesn’t see red or blue states but sees the United States and will be a president that can “reach across the aisle” for consensus. Ask him to name two specific examples of issues that are generally thought to be supported those “across the aisle” that he is ready and willing to work to see that these issues become law.

Jim,

You do like to amuse, don’t you.

On no day does it matter the label one chooses to apply to Georgia’s collective also known as the elected ones. Labels are of no consequence to these elected ones for they have known for some time now how to manipulate them to their advantage. Labels are merely an addendum to the political language — a sideshow to be utilized when the occasion requires. Several of our local elected ones changed parties in the most recent election because that was a prerequisite for the process of becoming an elected one. If the winds should shift in future elections, rest assured our elected ones will compensate as needed.

I remember being assaulted by multiple posts of the Republican Contract with America, so I’m loath to repost the whole thing. But let’s revisit the first, and presumably most important part:

I guess the only use for that contract now is in the bottom of a birdcage.

Jim’s right in saying you can’t tell the Republicans from the Democrats in Georgia. Unfortunately for him, it’s been common knowledge among the rest of us for some time. I’m waiting for Jim’s breathless missive that—gasp!—the same is true everywhere else.

An additional $1 a pack tax will do nothing but upset voters who smoke. We all know the dangers of smoking, but it is still an addiction and those who smoke will still find a way. Of course, I am sure it is the same people who hear that gas is going to hit $4 a gallon this summer and still purchase a Hummer or SUV who is pushing for this change to begin with.

Quickie divorce and all papers sealed, sounds fishy to me. Sounds like someone was doing something they don’t want others to know about. Way to go speaker!

No beer sales on Sunday? Who cares. Let’s spend time and money on things that really matter. You live in the South and that is just how we do things here, pick it up on Sat or go to a bar.

Water water everywhere but here. When are people going to wake up and see that the water is running out. Yes, we’ve had some rain, but not much to change our outcome. Once things warm up, it is going to evaporate and start going lower still from usage. Georgia needs to come up with a plan and fast. I say lets start with giving everyone a certain amount of water usage and once you have used it up, pull the plug and let them figure it out until the next billing cycle. Make sense to me since it will allow people to really see how they use their water and what changes they need to make in order to live. Of course, I am sure the rich will need a way to “pay” for more water usage then the rest of us “small” people.

I am off to pray for our great Nation and State with the hope that those we elected do what is needed and right.

We ought to impose a $5 a pack tax on cigarettes. And use the money to hire crews to pick up all the cigarette butts that litter our streets because the selfish, me me me smoking fools think the world is their ashtray and throw their butts out the window instead of dirtying the ashtray of their own car (gasp!). Tobacco is a business of death and sickness. No one can debate that. Yes, people can choose to smoke, but when my taxes, my property, my health, etc. are affected by those selfish dolts, then I have a say in it! Tax em, and then tax em some more.

By Captain Freedom

February 15, 2008 9:31 AM | Link to this

THE Captain is here to offer a suggestion that combines the best of His Courage in the Face of Danger, His aversion to the unwashed rabble, and His abject disgust with those who smoke.

First…let us grant that those who smoke are indeed courageous people. Anyone who would smoke in the face of all the evidence must be Braver Than Brave. (Though THE Captain recognizes that some “scientists” disagree with the evidence, this is not at all like the “controversy” concerning global climate change. Really.) So, THE Captain suggests we up the ante for smokers; rather than letting tobacco toxins only wreak their havoc slowly over time, we should plant an Instant Death pellet in every millionth cigarette. The lucky ducky who smokes this ‘one in a million’ will die on the spot, gasping for air like the Governor of California in Total Recall.

Imagine the increased thrill of lighting up, wondering if one will die on the spot or merely kill off a few insignificant lung scilia. Good times. I foresee a booming insurance trade, or perhaps a Vegas betting line or Wall Street derivative. Gives a whole new meaning to the phrase Lucky Strike.

Second, THE Captain notes that the overwhelming incidence of smoking occurs amongst the lower classes. This is not only the group that most often clamors for increased government handouts, but is also the group that commits most crime, produces the greatest number of ba$tard children, and who are generally unseemly and tacky, with their low slung blue jeans and noisy car stereos. The Lucky Strike program will thus reduce the entitlement budget and clear our streets of the vulgar and crass elements that intrude upon My Beautiful Mind. Not to mention the savings on long-term care for diseased smokers who would be, well, dead, and thus ineligible for Medicaid.

Finally… smokers are to the last a nasty, filthy, selfish, littering, obnoxious, and smelly cohort who deserve the painful deaths that they work so hard to achieve on a daily basis. Killing off a few of them quickly would be an act of compassion, and would perhaps serve as an effective deterrence to smoking as does the electric chair and needle to murder. As for those who lose loved ones to the Lucky Strike program, well, to he11 with ‘em. Bad choices deserve equivalent consequence, as Jim and jbm so often point out. How will we ever usher in an age of Glorious Conservative Self Discipline and Responsibility if we are unwilling to take the decisive actions that will make people alter their own behavior or die trying?

As a practical matter, THE Captain recommends that this program be handed to TSA. They are already widely hated, and their incompetence is such that the program efficiency will be enhanced. Since TSA is incapable of effectively screening out weapons at airports, they would undoubtedly allow more than one-in-a-million of the Lucky Strikes to slip through. It will also give them something to do once the American People realize that nothing TSA does makes them any safer in the skies and we summarily roust them from every airport at the head of a pitchfork parade.

THE Captain is a tad exhausted from this demonstration of His genius, and will go and lie down now.

Instant Death from Cigarettes. It is the Right Thing to do. But no taxes on smokes!!! That would be a governmental intrusion.

Whenever the agency comes into the news, it sounds like a rat’s nest of bureaucratic backbiters pursuing incomprehensible side agendas.

No, what has happened to CDC since the installation of the Bush regency is a complete reorganization that removed all power from scientists and placed it in the hands of political operatives, of which Julie Gerberding is a prime example.

At one time, program heads, scientists with real expertise, had the authority to initiate and operate public health programs. But since the installation of Gerberding, who listens exclusively to OMB and HHS, a reorganization has placed all authority in the hands of political operatives.

Gerberding’s “New CDC” has taken personnel and program authority away from even center heads, so that the leader of the Agency for Toxic Substances and Disease Registry has no direct authority over the people who work for him. Washington politicians have been placed in the centers to “oversee” operations.

So when a scientist like Chris De Rosa makes an inconvenient point—that there is no safe level of either short-term or long-term exposure to a cancer-causing agent—he is demoted and replaced with someone who will do exactly what OMB and FEMA want.

The “agenda” of which Wooten writes has nothing to do with backbiting. It has everything to do with the Washington administration’s insistence on controlling the science that is practiced at CDC, a control so great that the reorganization has created an extra layer of management through “coordinating centers.” That desire for control is why seven pages of even Gerberding’s Congressional testimony were excised a few months ago—it inconveniently mentioned global warming.

Know what you’re talking about before you write, Wooten. You have never worked at CDC. I have witnessed the operations first-hand.

Were to start? How can Jim Wooten be so consistently wrong about everything? Lying always helps. Republicans have never hesitated to raise taxes, if the purposed tax is focused on working people and the poor. They made their bones on massive tax cuts for the rich, crony capitalism and deficit spending.

Yes, Tom Price lied, but they always do. Remember WMD, Mission Accomplished and the Strong Economy? The right to spy on and wire tap American citizens was never in any danger, the giant telcons have been doing it illegally for years. But now the Democrats want to hold them to the rule of law and Republicans want their biggest donors to get a free pass.

Speaker Richardson quickie divorce, behind closed doors with his law partner, is just another in your face display of absolute power corrupting absolutely.

What alternate universe do you live in Jim? The surge is working; one victory at a time, the war is being won. How do you win an occupation? How can an outsider win a civil war? With 4,000 American troops dead, 100,000 civilians dead, and over 2 million refugees displaced; how can you claim a victory? We spend 2 BILLION dollars a week on Iraq, but heath care, education and our on infrastructure is not really a priority for the Republicans. The leading Republican presidential candidate wants more of same failed policies, more wars, more tax cuts for the rich and more closed door deals!

You guys make me sick! Judging by the turnout in the primaries, 2 to 1 for Democrats, a lot of other voters feel the same way!

I predict that Osama Bin Laden will be killed in a car bombing in 2025. It will be reported as a side note in a report about the success of the current surge in Iraqistan (Yes, I also predict that Afghanistan and Iraq will be referred to by a single name much as we currently do with Chindia.). The code name given to this surge will be “Stan by Me”.

As for predictions on a local level, I predict that Glenn Richardson will have a book signing in Maui in 2016. The title of his book will be “We Did It My Way”. Senator Shafer will have advanced one klick north of the 35th parallel by October of 2012 only to be pushed back by the Tennessee Volunteer Army, led by Al Gore, to E. 51st Street just north of US Hwy 27 in Rossville. Both sides will claim a victory.

They have used assassination and military strikes to eliminate anyone or anything they see as a threat without regard to the collateral damage. Terrorists in my book.

The thing is, if it had been handled as any other divorce, there would have been some publicity and that was it. As it is now, it appears to be many types of ethics violations all rolled into one. I hope he gets turned out of office, sooner rather than later.

THE Captain tried marijuana once, on a boat anchored outside the three-mile territorial limit. While somewhat amusing, it was not to THE Captain’s liking, as He began to experience disturbing thoughts about the oneness of life and the unity of humankind. He also received the misbegotten idea that music is something more than random cacaphony, which led to an idea that art might have some purpose in the world. Further, He began to ideate that fornication might serve some purpose other than reporduction, and might indeed be a pleasurable activity in its own right. Luckily, Mrs Freedom was there to help me regain my composure and sexual reticence and self-discipline.

And I bet you, headshedsix, said that it was “only sex” after all, and nothing more. What does it matter if a high official commits crimes and misdemeaners (so you sang with the Hippie choir) if it was all about the pursuit of his desires? What could be more human than that — more beautiful? Sure, we’ve all lied about sex, and who hasn’t done so in the White House, or under oath, or in a televised address to the American people?

We could absorb a hundred 9/11’s for the price of the current zionist bunkerization of america expenses…not to mention the cost of invading Iraq. Yes, House Speaker Glenn Richardson’s divorce could have been hadled worse: he could have just murdered her, stuffed her body into a suitecase, and had one of his buddies fly the suitecase to the south ga swamp, where it would be dumped out of the plane: opps, someone already did that. OK, House Speaker Glenn Richardson could have hired a hit man to deliver roses to his wife at home, and when she opend the door, she could have been shot: opps, that’s has already been done: Well, there is always the Fred Tokars approach. I cannot believe Ga wastes a full one percent of its budget on judges: That is too much money. Cut their salaries, pensions, and benefits NOW.

Dusty is of course correct, as always, which for a woman with the intelligence of a houseplant is not as easy as one would think. Most Americans were indeed appalled at the behavior of the Clenis and wished him run out of office, as evidenced by the 70% approval rating he garnered the day of the impeachment vote. That the Cowardly Congress refused to do the will of the people is testimony to their craven anti-Americanism; however, as they are elected officials, We True Believers are on the horns of a dilemma since we NEVER EVERY say anything negative about our elected officials, not like you loony libs.

Dusty is also correct that Most Americans favor a continuation of the war in Iraq (at least 25%) and Most Americans feel that Our Leader is the Bestest Most Super President Ever, as shown by his 26% approval rating.

THE Captain joins Most Americans in thanking Dusty for making our feelings clear to the rest of you godless traitors, and wishes Dusty good luck as she tries to kick tobacco products. THE Captain prays she is more successful than that time she tried to give up her cough syrup habit.

Putin vs. Clinton

When Hillary Clinton said, way back in New Hampshire, that Vladimir Putin “doesn’t have a soul,” I figured that would be the sort of thing the Russian wouldn’t be pleased about. But when I called the foreign ministry the next day for comment, it was Orthodox Christmas, and I let it slide.

He was asked about the remark at his press conference yesterday, however, and indeed wasn’t pleased.

The former KGB lieutenant colonel appeared to lash out at U.S. Sen. Hillary Clinton — a leading Democratic candidate for president — when one reporter quoted her as saying that former KGB officers have no soul:

“At a minimum, a head of state should have a head,” Putin said.

Tom Price is a joke as a representative. He sent an email out to constituents about a bill he is pushing calling for the use of the English language in the work place. The last line of his commentary actually said “Common sense says that we should be allowed to use our common language in the work place”. As if there are places here in the US we can’t speak English. He is a shill for the Republicans, calling for the banning of earmarks now that the Dems run Congress(but of course silent while the GOP ran things) and adding a truth squad section to his website after the Dems took over so he point out all their “lies”.

Superbowl 42: Ode to Eli

It doesn’t take much to make me happy. Everything tastes good when you stay hungry.

But I do require a quarterback. When I first saw Eli Manning I was surprised. Peyton has a brother in the NFL? Flashes of brilliance. Too many interceptions. I turned my back on him many times.

Eli never gave up on me, though, and I said yes under an unretracted roof on Superbowl Sunday in Phoenix.

Outlined against a blue, gray curtain of certain and sudden death, Eli slipped the surly grasp of the blitz.

Like a gangly pup he scrambled through the tumbling mirth. He wheeled and flung and did a hundred things I’ve only dreamed of.

He soared long and delirious ovals into tangled hands, sticky fingers, and teeth clenched in hate.

A crunch time for the ages, a phantasm born from scrimmage, and a wideout who held on to the ball like it was the Lombardi Trophy.

Also, Presidents do not ‘go on vactaion’ like you and other folks. We live in a modern world where communications are instantanious and easy. Congress also left in August, 2001 for their annual summer break. Does this mean that they were shirking their responsibility as well? I think not. Stop blowing smoke.

‘At a minimum, a head of state should have a head’ - Putin on Hillary

Thank you Putin for saying what many of us know. That woman wants to tax corporations MORE when they are teetering on recession spending by consumers. As if corporations are going to jump up and down with a Hillary rally glee and hire more people and lower product costs after having to lay out MORE for taxes. GM lost the most money in the history of the US auto industry in 2007. The evil rich in this nation, the top 20%, comprise 40% of consumer spending which makes up nearly 70% of overall economic activity. Yet this woman wants to tax them MORE. Thank you, Putin. You may not understand our economy very well, but you at least got the issue correct about someone who could be in charge of it.

Then we have Reid & Pelosi who have defanged 2/3 of our terrorist fighting capabilities. Both of them as well as their brain dead followers say that Bush is just needlessly laying fear on this nation. You wait. JUST you wait. God forbid, if we are attacked again, you know damn well they’ll blame Bush. We have had MANY interventions of terrorist activity and planned attacks not only in the US, but around the globe. So go ahead and stick your heads back in the sand, libs, it could very well be the only thing left of you under pacifist liberal democrats for your beloved free government health care to take care of.

Amen to Congress for refusing to extend the so-called Patriot Act.

It comes down to respect for the law. GW Bush knew that spying on individuals’ communications without a FISA court order was illegal. So did the companies that cooperated with the illegal endeavor. Now he wants Congress to pass retroactive immunity for these companies.

If the Bush administration won’t prosecute the companies, the new Democratic administration will—as well as prosecute some of the current administration authorities who engaged in the conspiracy.

The Bushbots are very good about yelling Law and Order when it suits their political purposes. But they don’t want it when following the law becomes inconvenient for them. And this time there will be no good ‘ol boy Scooter Libby pardon.

I know most of you are too lazy to look this up, so here is what sarkozy is proposing to induce bed wetting in French Children:

PARIS (Reuters) - French President Nicolas Sarkozy, facing a tide of criticism over his call for schoolchildren to “adopt” Jewish child victims of the Holocaust, hit back on Friday saying France had to raise children “with open eyes”.

In a speech praising faith that also drew fire from secularists, Sarkozy told France’s Jewish community on Wednesday that every 10-year-old schoolchild should be “entrusted with the memory of a French child victim of the Holocaust”.

The proposal unleashed a storm of protest from teachers, psychologists and his political foes who said it would unfairly burden children with the guilt of previous generations and some could be traumatized by identifying with a Holocaust victim.

More than 11,100 French Jewish children were deported from France to Auschwitz and other Nazi death camps in eastern Europe during the German World War Two occupation.

“The emotional burden can have negative consequences for a child who is developing,” Gilles Moindrot, general secretary of the Snuipp-FSU trade union which represents most primary school teachers, said in a statement.

“One can not place on a child of 11 the responsibility for what happened back then.”

The EMDH children’s rights group said: “No educational project should be constructed on death.”

But Sarkozy, speaking in Perigueux in central France, brushed off the uproar.

“It is ignorance that produces abominable situations. It is not knowledge,” he said in a speech. “Let us make our children, children with open eyes who are not complacent.”

“Believe me, you will not traumatize children by giving them the gift of the memory of a country … Any psychologist will tell you: you have to tell a child the truth,” he said.

With Sarkozy’s popularity ratings already at a low point, the controversy could further hurt his political standing only a month before key local elections when France will deliver its first judgment on his nine months in office.

AMMUNITION FOR FOES

The clamor gave fresh ammunition to Sarkozy’s political foes, who charge him with erratic behavior and say his hyperactivity masks a lack of real policies.

“Really this president is extraordinary! One day he is preaching God to us … Now he has suddenly become a teacher. He is deciding what’s a good and what’s a bad way to go about educating young children,” fumed left-wing Senator Jean-Luc Melenchon.

But Sarkozy won support from opposition Socialist leader Francois Hollande and the president’s conservative UMP party rallied in support.

Education Minister Xaviet Darcos assured people the project would be handled in a practical, low-profile way. “We won’t be putting a policeman in each classroom,” he told reporters.

The storm around the Holocaust proposal coincided with publication of a new poll that suggested Sarkozy’s public romancing of supermodel-turned-singer Carla Bruni was the factor that had hurt his national image most.

Sarkozy and Bruni married secretly earlier this month but his critics saw the highly-publicized affair as a distraction too early in office.

The OpinionWay poll, conducted on the Internet for le Figaro and news channel LCI, found 82 percent of respondents believed Sarkozy’s private life fell short of that of a head of state.

Goading these far left rats and COCKroaches (gedditt aborted foreskin???) on here is too much fun!!

I’m OK mate - except for having McLiar as the GOP candidate - but at least he will likely kill more yellow bellied camelhumping towel head arab/mohammedan terrorists than Bush did!! Lets hope McLiar can be pressured to applying similar sound policies to the southern border too!!

Well, I might of knowed. This crazy guy from England is back calling everybody names. I was kind of hopeful he was one of the people that got kilt when the bridge went down in MN or maybe was one of 3 or 4 hundred the DeKalb police had shot this year.

Its bad enough to have Sister Dusty here calling everybody a Trader. Now we got to put up with this TFTT guy till he gos off again and gets locked up.

Sometimes you have bad days, and this is one of mine. I half expect the guy with the pile-on cyst to show up next.

My goodness,

Maybe we should get back to the editorial of the day and put the trash away. Hmmm let’s see. Several asked about the connection with Hezbollah and the “surge”.

OK, let’s start with the basics. We fight terrorism. Remember 9/11!

Hezbollah is a terrorist organization in Lebanon.

A leader of Hezbollah, thought to be the organizer in the Marine Barracks bombing, was killed recently. One more terrorist not fighting against us.

The “surge” is a successful operation against terrorists. It has successfully stopped the power of terrorism in Iraq which is supported by all terroristgroups.

Therefore the “surge” has decreased the power of all terrorist organizations including Hezbollah, Hamas, al Queda and other groups. There will be no central terrorist command in Iraq.

We can thank our troops for laying their lives on the line for our benefit. Yay, George W. Bush. Yay, troops. Yay, America. We are winning the war on terrorism.

Just thought I would remind you liberals what the fighting is all about. We ARE fighting, you know.

hey copyleft, Its still 99% GOP behind the gates in my neighborhood. And you still wont be welcome or allowed in there. And nothing and no one will touch us. I will still play golf, drive my SUVs, take insaenly expensive vacations, not give to the poor, and buy outragesously expensive scotch and cigars. So if we have to sit back and make a 17% percent return on all our investments rather than 40% and pay a little more taxes, so be it. Four years of democratic control with these fools in the dem party right now, will assure us of 20 years of GOP power in the future. So go ahead flowechild, knock yourself out. I have four years to wait and watch you guys ruin things beyond belief. We will just put an extra guard at the gate to keep the illegals and gay married couples out! LOL !

Less logical than ever, Dusty.

To assume that Hezbollah was “fighting against us,” and that “all terrorist groups are allied,” is simply silly on the face of it.

Funny copyleft, I watch the movie THE PATRIOT, and I see him rasing his sons, being a good man, fighting for his country, not being selfish, and dying for his cause. I dont see him marrying another man, demanding that guns be controlled and suppressed, opposing the death penalty, and rallying to allow women to tear the unborn babies from their bodies.

AUSTIN—Austin Mayor Will Wynn threw his support Friday to Sen. Barack Obama’s bid for the White House.

Wynn, who has made energy efficiency a hallmark of his tenure, cited Obama’s commitment to an energy policy that protects the environment.

“For too long, we’ve allowed old divisions to hold us back,” Wynn said. “Recently, I’ve had conversations about energy policy with presidential candidates from both parties, and I believe Sen. Obama is the only person who can move us forward on this critical issue.”

Wynn chairs the Energy Committee of the U.S. Conference of Mayors and worked on energy-efficiency grant legislation.

Obama thanked Wynn for the endorsement.

“I don’t believe that energy policy is something to bring up only when it’s convenient during a campaign,” he said in a statement issued by his campaign.

Obama wants to set up a carbon emissions cap-and-trade system requiring pollution credits to be auctioned, to ensure polluters pay for emissions they release. Revenue generated by auctioning allowances will be used to develop clean energy and invest in energy efficiency improvements.

Sen. Hillary Clinton’s campaign has proposed a similar energy plan. Her plan also would mandate stronger energy and auto efficiency standards and a significant increase in green research funding.

If a small surge pays off and kills one terrorist after 24 years, just imagine what another 24 years will bring. We obviously need bigger surges. Maybe that’s why the military is offering $40,000 toward a house if you survive 5 years in the military.

Barack Obama responded to Hillary Clinton’s new line of attack that she offers solutions, not speeches like Obama, by arguing that she isn’t in the “solutions business,” but part of “business as usual in Washington.”

“Now, all of us have proposed plenty of solutions in this race,” he told reporters in Wisconsin. “On some we differ. On many, we agree. The problem we have is not a lack of good ideas. It’s that Washington today is a place where good ideas go to die. They’re the victim of petty, partisan politics, point-scoring, and special interest influence that’s out of control.

“So the real question for this campaign is, who can change that?” Obama continued, according to prepared remarks provided by his campaign. “Who can break us out of the gridlock? Who can take those good ideas that will help working families in Wisconsin and across the country, build a consensus, overcome the special interests, and actually get something done?”

He is also holding a rally this morning in Milwaukee, where he is repeating his stump speech that the nation can’t wait for change. Wisconsin votes Tuesday, with 74 precious delegates at stake. Obama leads in the polls, though the size of the lead depends on the poll.

Of course Realist just sold a company worth MILLIONS OF DOLLARS and is just sitting around counting his piles of money now. And THE Captain was away for so long because He flew his rocket ship to Mars where He met with the Supreme Leader of the Solar System. And that 40% return on investment PALES next to THE Captain’s 53%. Because on the Internets, you can be whatever you want to be. British or Alabamian, it makes no never mind, your teeth are still crooked, brown, and rotten.

Well that was refreshing. Back from a couple conferences to find that I’d been here blogging all along, and spitting like a demoniac at all liberals. That’s so moi.

For the record, I’m not an Anglophile. I like my mammals, my Yanks, and my national security. Got no idea why you all are reduced to hurling taunts, but whatever.

The Sarkozy proposal isn’t nearly as interesting, nor alarming, as the rather twisted responses to it quoted here. With all due respect to Harvard, the French are masters of stage theory, and as long as they handle the thing without coercion and according to the counsel of their best developmental psych people, it shouldn’t be a problem. It is a fascinating exercise in modern civics education.

The “Patriot” movie was a gorgeous piece of crap, and viciously unfair to the British, whose historical actions that picture conflates with those of the Nazis. Presumably Mel Gibson had taken it upon himself to take celluloid revenge on Cromwell.

Young Mr. Ledger displayed his prowess for hold the camera’s attention, though his performance had nothing of the subtlety, range and verisimilitude of his astonishing turn in “Brokeback Mountain”, an elegant film that was indeed a de facto argument for gay marriage.

The HBO miniseries “John Adams” promises to be the first authentically felt rendering of that long dicey and deadly period of bloodletting and—-you guessed it—-bedwetting.

I wanted to say God love you “Apoca…” but it just didn’t sound right.

I read Obama’s “Audacity of Hope” and was impressed with his writing skills.

I’d like to say I’m as impressed with his legislative skills, but he’s had too many whoopsees to instill confidence.

I’m not 100% on board with McCain but I appreciate the fact that he’s never requested earmarks. As far as I’m concerned that’s what everyone is ticked about and I don’t think he can be beat on that one.

I can, somewhat, trust a politician who protects my investment and I do admire that in McCain.
