The number one issue in America, our Do Nothing dimwitocrat Congress has swept it under the rug:

The House voted to adjourn for its August recess yesterday, but only by a vote of 213 to 212 as minority Republicans were able to convince over a dozen Democrats to break with Speaker Nancy Pelosi and support staying in session in order to deal with high energy prices. On the Senate side, Majority Leader Harry Reid broached the idea of an “energy summit” that would convene in September and consider more domestic drilling.

Normally, the spending hiatus would be a useful byproduct of Congressional bickering. But in this case the shutdown is malign neglect. Surging energy prices act like a huge tax increase on the economy, since energy demand is relatively fixed over the short term. The price spike is imposing genuine hardships on middle-income and working-class voters across the country.

Can it be any more obvious that the dimwitocrats place more importance on the mindless coddling of their junk science lobbyists then they do tending to the well being of the poor and needy?

And the middle class?

You get what you vote for.

Theater of thee insane:

President Bush’s top advisers are not immune from congressional subpoenas, a federal judge ruled Thursday in a long-running dispute between the two political branches. Congressional Democrats swiftly announced that the Bush officials who have defied their subpoenas, including Bush’s former top adviser Karl Rove, must appear as part of a probe of whether the White House directed the firings of nine federal prosecutors.-Urinal/PMS

There is no there there.

Thumb your nose at these spineless wonders, Repugs, they’ll cut and run.

~~~~~

What happened to thee “quagmire” in Afghanistan?

Did the United States win, again?

Bwa.

~~~~~~

I despise anyone who drives a large SUV or pickup unless it has the name of a business on it.-Urinal/PMS Vent

I despise liberal bimbos in the throes of environmental junk science terrorism that are too stupid to verify the truthfulness of all the socialist BS fed to them.

I win.

Republican leadership is worried about losing a ton of seats in November and is allowing its members to vote their conscience. Guess what? They’re voting with Democrats! That means that Democrats do the right thing while Republicans normally do the political thing.-Urinal/DNC Vent

Congress voted on something?

Huh, I missed that one.

And by the way, it looks like you discovered all by yourself why these Republicans aren’t going to get reelected; They’re voting with Democrats!

Uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, duh.

~~~~~~

Who can keep up with all the world-ending threats? There was the so-called population explosion, death by pesticides, acid rain, the hole in the ozone layer, nuclear winter, global cooling, and now, the most audacious and successful hustle of all, global warming.

One can only wonder what the next hoax is that the liberals come up with.

~~~~~

It’s true; Obama is black. And the person who keeps mentioning that Barack Obama is black most often is Barack Obama.

In fact, Obama has preemptively accused the entire McCain campaign of racism and the entire electorate of being susceptible to racism.

Well, well, a lib urinalist has nailed it, Lord High Dimwit, by saying that you are susceptible to racist stereotypes and beliefs, has accused the entire American public of being bigoted.

Are you not smart enough to see a campaign ad and decide on your own if it is discriminatory against race, creed or gender?

Why is Obambi speaking on your behalf?

Yesterday, the House Judiciary Committee voted to hold Karl Rove in contempt of Congress. On MSNBC yesterday, Rep. Walter Jones (R-NC), breaking with his party, said he believes Rove should be forced to testify. “Let him explain his involvement, if any, in this Don Siegelman case.” When pressed on whether he was suggesting sending Rove to jail, Jones signaled that he supports this option

But McCain may now be backing away from his pledge to regulate the industry. While still officially a sponsor of the Senate version of the latest tobacco bill, McCain has suggested that he “won’t commit to voting for it until he sees the final legislation” and regularly belittles government regulation on the campaign trail

The Bush era of energy policy has been one of contempt for the planet and the economy — all for the benefit of Exxon and its ilk. Now he wants to tie our future to even dirtier, deadlier, costlier fossil fuels. Today in West Virginia, President Bush declared his plan for a “sprint to the finish” of his tenure….This is a call for a “sprint to the finish” of civilization as we know it.

* Must-read editorial: “The Straight Talk Express has taken a nasty turn into the gutter. Sen. John McCain has resorted to lies and distortions in what sounds like an increasingly desperate attempt to slow down Sen. Barack Obama by raising questions about his patriotism. Instead of taking the Democrat down a few notches, these baseless attacks are raising more questions about the Republican’s campaign and his ability to control his temper…. Virtually all candidates, including Obama, distort their opponent’s record. But McCain has gone beyond reasonable bounds. The self-described “happy warrior” in the 2000 presidential campaign has turned sour in 2008, and the candor and straight talk that once made him such an attractive candidate are rapidly disappearing*

backround music…heard it through the sour grape vine?

“Perhaps the only thing more outrageous than Exxon Mobil making record profits while Americans are paying record prices at the pump is the fact that Senator McCain has proposed giving them an additional $1.2 billion tax break. While Senator McCain’s plan has succeeded in helping his campaign raise over $1 million from oil and gas company executives and employees just last month, it won’t lower gas prices or end our dangerous dependence on foreign oil. Instead of an energy policy that reads like an oil-company wish list, it’s time to create a new American energy economy by investing in alternative energy, creating millions of new jobs, increasing fuel efficiency standards, and ending the tyranny of oil once and for all,” said Senator Barack Obama.

backround music…we cam work it out

I’m heartened that the President has decided to support this bipartisan bill that will help ensure that mortgages remain affordable for American families and to prevent hundreds of thousands home foreclosures. In the months since this housing package was announced, nearly a million additional families have faced foreclosure, and our economy has continued to deteriorate. We cannot wait for a million more foreclosures before taking additional action to help struggling families and strengthen our economy. That’s why I’ve also proposed a second stimulus of at least $50 billion with energy rebates for families struggling with high gas prices, relief for states facing budget cuts, and additional measures to protect homeowners from foreclosure

LOS ANGELES - Illinois Sen. Barack Obama has made a promise to his kids: if we win the White House, you can have a dog. The Democratic presidential hopeful told a rally in California on Thursday that his two little girls were excited about the prospect of him becoming president but not so happy about moving to Washington. “They’re very excited, although my 9-year-old and my 6-year-old, I’m not sure they want to move. They like Chicago,” he said, answering a little boy’s question about his kids. “We promised them that we’ll get (a) dog.”

THE American economy has often defied predictions of its demise. It has done so again. Official figures published on Thursday July 31st show that America’s GDP rose at an annualised rate of 1.9% in the second quarter. This would a respectable enough growth rate at the best of times. That this was achieved despite the considerable handicaps of a badly damaged banking system, a big jump in oil prices and the ongoing housing bust, makes it remarkable.

Not to mention the fact that we are also fighting two wars.

Will this deter Thee Doom and Gloom from their never ending, ceaseless, 24/7 tales of woe and whining and moaning?

Or will they start a crying jag on behalf of themselves, despite all of their hard work and efforts, the economy of the United States will jst not collapse like they long for it to do?

Good morning all. I hope there is a conservative living in Garden City, wherever that is, to challenge the tobacco Nazi. Even if other similar leftist Republicans embarrass us from time to time, I am grateful for honest guys like Reps. Price, Broun, Linder, Deal, and Westmoreland. And Coburn and DeMint and Kyl and the handful of other honest guys from other states working in our true interests in DC. I would lament that we do not have similar Georgia folks in the US Senate, nor among our democrat brethren, but I don’t want to sound like a whiny leftist. Wonder if our Georgia state legislators are made of the same stuff as Linder and company, or whether they are more like Chambliss and Isaacson.

The Wiggins quote sounds to me more like the ravings of a sociopath rather than something sad or depressing.

I respectfully disagree with Jim on the Pelosi and Reid motives behind their mismanagement into the largest deficits in history. Wild spending is just something democrats do, it has nothing to do with any grand strategy.

Agree – abolish the US gasoline tax. The interstate infrastructure is in place, now it is up to the states to maintain those highways, as they are mostly used for local purposes.

One wonders why agriculture kills expansion of free trade. US farmers are surely the greatest beneficiaries of free trade in world history, yet if we talk about abolishing peanut or sugar subsidies, you get the impression that corporate welfare is now a legal right in the agriculture field.

As much as these misnamed “conservatives” hate to admit it, the nation, including a gigantic number of those who once considered themselves one of their gang, is turning away from their Republican ideology of failure in droves. And for good reason(s).

(NO you idiots! It ain’t because “we weren’t conservative enough”!)

Over three quarters of the country now thinks that this nation, under this Republican administration, is on the wrong track. DUH!!! You think? (What is ironically laughable, is that so many of us knew this phony ANG hero of Alabama and his gang of Reagan cast offs and thugs was a train wreck waiting to happen since January 2001. Sadly we were right.)

Just like Bushco’s “approval” rating, an all time worst.

Approval of the Democratic leaders in Congress, meanwhile, is almost as bad: Thirty-six percent of those polled said Democrats are handling their job well while the overall views of Congress are even lower; 22 percent approve of how Congress is handling its job.

In other words for you reality/mathematically challenged Republicans, the GOP in Congress is pulling that number DOWN.

Another surprise. NOT.

Beginning with the California thespian and continuing through the era of Georgia’s own nutty, newty Contract on America author and ending with the worst president in history, the GOP is sadly in the toilet.

Is there any hope for the once Grand Old Party?

Yes. But not until all of these bungling clowns are replaced by a brand of Republican that thinks a helluva lot different…

Good morning, Jim.

A few thoughts:

Word comes that Bruce E. Ivins, who worked as a researcher at the biodefense labs at Fort Detrick, Maryland, has committed suicide. Seems he was about to be indicted for being the mysterious sender of the Anthrax letter attacks back in 2001, just after the September 11th attack. It seems as though the Justice Department and the F.B.I. took their own good time in arriving at the conclusion that Ivins was guilty. Typical of the Bush administration’s punctuality.

One has to “tip the hat” to Barack Obama. He is the only person I ever saw who could make racial statements about himself and lay the blame on someone else…in this case John McCain.

As the Surge winds down in Iraq and the local government gets ready to invite us to leave, we may need to make contingency plans for redeployment of forces into Afghanistan (where they should have been in the first place). We are not done with war just yet.

Pass spending caps? How about Glenn pop a spending cap in your azz, Wooten? See how you like it. So corporal glenn was in your unit?

Bush’s 8 years added over 3 trillion dollars to our national debt.

People who say we invaded the wrong country should have thought of that before Iraq had nothing to do with 911.

Afghanistan was an logistical nightmare for the soviets. With all those tanks, and air support, they couldn’t win. The problem is the terrain. One man can hold off hundreds, like they done at Thermopolyae. In fact there’s an account of a young Osama Bin Laden, when he was our ally and trusted friend, and role model for Reagan, who fancied himself as a warrior, and who used to reminisce about all his world war 2 exploits, (nobody had the heart to tell him that his memories were of the movies he acted in. I loved that silly old man, and forgave him for not being able to recall how he negotiated with the Iranians who held americans hostage), held off an entire battery of soviet tanks and a division of soviet regulars with just a sling shot, two goats and a burka covered scarecrow. True story. Osama was brave, daring, inventive, and really good with the sling shot, man. What a terrific ally he was for the GOP and the military industrial complex, you know, the folks what brung us vietnam and Iraq. Ditto Saddam Hussein. I wonder what Saddam knew about our CIA. Lets ask him….D’oh, we hung him…aw, the one guy who could tell us who the traitors are in our government…what are the odds.

It’s the terrain.

Afghanistan is no different for US troops than it was for Soviet Troops. We’ve ignored Afghanistan completely. Afghan is a labyrinth of unsolvable logistical nightmares. If men are willing to die, real estate will be very costly. It’s the terrain. With the Pakistani rebels using border sanctuaries to hit and run, the taliban is going to prevail there. We had them in 2002. Afghan could have been ours, with the right commitment of troops. Nobody cared, especially not bush, cheny, rummy or rove.

Bush, Cheney, Rummy and Rove. The Musical.

Scenes I’d like to see. I’d love to see Cheney hazing Obama for not wearing his flag pin, like in the movie animal house, when Nedermeyerr razzed Flounder on the parade grounds for wearing his pledge pin. I loved the way Nedermeyer spit out “Pledge Pin” at Flounder. Imaging Cheney spitting like that at Obama. “Where’s your Flag Pin?”

I’d also love to see Cheney’s balance sheet and income statement on Jan 1, 2001, vs Jan 1, 2009.

How rich has Cheney grown? What about Bush? Rove? Rummy?

Then, Two years from now, I’d like to see how much money those four combined have. I’ll bet it’s billions and billions.

We’ve been robbed. We’ve been had. These pirates have planned and dreamed about pilfering our treasury for twenty years.

By Georgia Legislators Are Criminals

August 1, 2008 9:04 AM | Link to this

I’m so pleased to see that Georgia is in a major fiscal crisis. The state of Georgia and many (or most) of its local governments are criminal regimes that deserve nothing but problems. I say that based on the fact that they have passed so many illegal “sex offender” laws and will continue to do so until it becomes even more completely, abundantly clear that the laws are worse than just worthless and not really about “public safety” or “protecting children” and too many decent people demand that the politicians utilize facts, respect reality, and stop passing the laws.

The vast majority of Georgia citizens love the lies of the pandering politicians who created these laws and they support them. Therefore, Georgia and most of its citizens deserve all the misery they can get. I pray the economic crisis worsens and devastates Georgia.

Our criminal governments have grown far, far too large and are doing far, far too many tasks that they have no business ever doing. The law enforcement enterprise of the Criminal Regime of Georgia similarly has grown far, far too large and just has way too much time on their hands. The “sex offender” laws cannot be controlled by working on Georgia’s legislature because they have proven that they will not utilize facts nor respect reality. I personally won’t even attempt to work with those criminals any longer.

Some of the methods of controlling the laws that are being employed are to use the courts, civil disobedience and conflict, and economic warfare. The last item has worked fairly well and I will work hard in the future to ensure that Georgia’s law enforcement agencies continue to not have the resources they need in order to accomplish their duties to any successful degree. Georgia’s legislature have woken up a problem that isn’t going to end. They have started a completely unnecessary war in exchange for no benefits at all.

Then they pointed out that there seemed to have been no chaos after the Iowa floods, and that New Orleans was a city of sin… hint hint.

Wooten, Republicans and being fiscally conservative don’t go together anymore. Has Bush ever passed a balance budget in his 8 years in office? I think not. The deficit would be much higher had he actually included the money for the War. Since we’re borrowing the money he doesn’t feel the need to put that in the budget. Don’t know how that works.

Please answer this question Wooten or any one of you Republicans. If the Bush administration has already said that the deficit will be $482M next year (and we know anything he says about money is wrong, probably over $500M), how can you justify cutting taxes even more? You’re already in the hole, and you cut taxes to bring even less money in? That in itself is being fiscally irresponsible, but McCain is either a) playing politics by saying he would increase the Bush tax cuts or b) really dumb. Thats the equivalent of being 3 months behind in your mortgage, and then you go from FT to PT hours thus decreasing your income. But I’m sure you Republicans have an answer to my question that doesn’t involve you stooping to childish namecalling. Just a legitimate question.

Oh, and Wooten does it again by slipping one in there about Wooten. But there is another article by a student of Obama’s at the time that totally refutes this article where Wooten hijacks one quote.

Here’s what Obama should have said: “I see McCain has a new ad comparing me with Paris Hilton. Well, that’s better than his last ad comparing me to Osama Bin Laden. I’m glad he’s taking the election so seriously. But I want to talk to you about healthcare. Healthcare is a right. If you’re sick, you have a right to see a doctor. We dont need middlemen in the way, diagnosing and prescribing for the doctor, do we? And who decided that dental care is not healthcare? When did teeth not become part of the human body? Or eyes?

Hey BKrstuv,

When you post do you consider telling outright lies? What does a Democratic Controlled congress of 2 years have to do with a increasing budget deficit?

The Federal deficit has been climbing the minute GW Bush and the Republican controlled congress of 12 years from 1994 to 2006 has been in office.

I guess Jdavid this small government huh! Huge Deficits massive bail-out programs for corporation who already enjoy a hug tax break.

Dusty, Dusty,Dusty it must be hard to come up with something to say when the REPUBLICAN party is so bad!

I guess you believe that the White house staff and team is immune to the law. NO-ONE IS ABOVE THE LAW. It’s your time Karl Rove: Can you say strips?

Jim, Drive down any interstate and along every state border you will find cheep gas stations drawing sales from one state to the next. The national gas tax should be national transportation, as opposed to bridges to nowhere. State gas taxes should go to their infrastructure. And every expenditure should be based on need and not political opportunity, as is the case with earmarks in congress and rural road improvements on the back of Atlanta’s commuters.

Jim Wooten, researchers at Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health didn’t have the courage to tell us who’s killing young black men and why. They can’t stomach the blowback/harassment of the gatekeepers that’s charged with keeping the truth in the dark.

The homicide/genocide occurring in the black community is the result of forty years of indoctrination following the death of Martin Luther King, Jr. Other ethnic groups directed the so-called educated integrationist Negro leaders to teach black boys and girls to love every ethnic group on the planet at the exclusion of their own ethnic group. This perversion has resulted in tremendous confusion and pain throughout many American households. And there is plenty of money to be made by misleading the masses of black and white people.

Joseph Lowery has been a lifetime proponent of hypocritical perverted interracial love that’s caused confusion and pain throughout American households. Unfortunately, Chiman Rai, a former professor at Alcorn State, a predominantly black university, paid a stereotypical black man to murder Joseph Lowery’s grand child because of a perverted interracial marriage. And according to Chiman Rai, that kind of perversion is not permitted in the Indian culture. It would cast a stigma on his family in caste-conscious Indian society.

Chiman Rai’s son, Rajeeve “Ricky” Rai, is presently happily married to a beautiful Indian woman.

G’Mornin Jim, et al,

While I applaud and praise the Republican legislators that refuse to participate in the deplorable and scandalous earmarks scam, I am afraid it is a bit like spitting into the ocean…No real effect. Therefore, the only real losers are their constituents who continue to fund other congressional districts by this system…without benefit. Any notion Congress will ever do away with this slimy underhanded way to pile up pork? NOT A CHANCE!!

Well, anybody could have predicted it…. The Georgia legislature and Governor failed to pass a tax cut bill and kept the $1Billion surplus in state coffers. Now, all of a sudden, we need that money and it suddenly disappears. Shocker! This surplus will dissolve quicker than you can say “Sonny’s Buddies Get Rich!”

Jim, is there any way we can keep people like Mrs. Godzilla and AJC Management from using your blog to post their own blog—totally off the subjects you present, blabbering about ANYTHING that enters their mind (not other readers— mind you), .and basically using your forum to run their own forum. It stifles discussion about the subject(s) you introduce.

It is perfectly clear these inconsiderate yo-yos don’t even read your column before they create and post their list of what they want to say. It’s like listening to two dozen conversations at once.

I even suspect Mrs. Godzilla is a paid staffer for Obama—or the like. It is clear her material is being “manufactured” for her and not her writing. Your blog is just a free billboard for Obama.

I am not suggesting everybody agree with you, but for goodness sakes—-can we talk about the subjects you introduce and flesh out a decent dialog without listening to everybody’s schizophrenic helter-skelter ramblings on who knows what—or who know who—-writes on what subject.?

If not, I am ready to cash it in. There is nothing to be gained with the way this is going/

Nothing personal, Jim. But this is ridiculous.

THIS MAILING WAS PREPARED, PUBLISHED, AND MAILED AT TAXPAYER EXPENSE.

Ah there you go again, Mr. Wooten, singing the praises of your little buddy Dr. Tom Price (R-weasel). Would you like to explain the bazillion large, full-color glossy pieces with his picture on it that I receive in the mail every year? The lastest is 8.5 x 11 inches, folded in half, 2-sided, and full color. Half the real estate on this mailer contains photos: Dr. Price’s smile imposed over a large gas pump nozzle, and the words “Energy prices are rising. That’s why Tom Price is working to bring them down.” As if (a) I needed to be told about energy prices and (b) his photograph was a necessary part of delivering this information to consitutents.

Mr. Wooten, why is your good friend Dr. Tom Price USING TAXPAYER MONEY in his campaign for re-election? The whole thing is “vote for me again!” propaganda! Will you please ask him what this costs the taxpayers of the 6th District and print THAT in your column?

McCain’s recent video comparing Obama to Paris/Brittany would be funny if not so true. These two bimbos are products of a gullible American public that, according to the now deceased Ernie Kovacs, would watch a dog fart the Star Spangled Banner on the Ed Sullivan show. Paris and Co. are products of TV shows, teeny magazines and hoopla to sell denture adhesives and car insurance. The media has it down pretty well. Katie works for a network that is accountable to it’s share holders and when stories about the wonder boy are flashed adoringly to a gullible public that swallows all of that crap, he becomes untouchable and an icon, a messiah for all of the downtrodden and an answer to all of our woes. Unlike Paris and her ilk, this media contrived “genius” is running for president of this great country. Paris can be as ditzy as she wants, it only confirms what we already know. But the wonder boy? Be careful what you wish for, you might get it.

Obama says the rebate would be financed with a windfall profits tax on the oil industry.

ELECTION 2008 The Road to the White House

• Georgia Voter Guide • Guide to 2008 election • Photo review: Obama | Clinton • VP choices: Dem. | GOP • Play our political mudslinging game!

“This rebate will be enough to offset the increased cost of gas for a working family over the next four months,” Obama said in remarks prepared for delivery Friday at a town hall meeting in the crucial swing state of Florida.

Obama had earlier said the rebates should be part of a larger tax relief package. But now he says the slumping economy demands they be put in place immediately.

Obama’s remarks coincide with the release of the latest unemployment figures, which show 51,000 jobs lost last month.

Critics of a windfall profits tax point out that the oil companies would simply pass the taxes along to the consumers in the form of higher prices.”

Apparently, the Republican party stands for whatever it takes to get a vote. Of course, that’s hardly a News Flash nowadays. As you point out, Republicans certainly are not conservative by any stretch of the imagination. They are liberal with their dishing out of wars, liberal with war spending, liberal with bailing out financial institutions, liberal with prescription drug programs, liberal with “stimulus” checks, liberal with their re-defining of the constitution, liberal with blaming Democrats even though Republicans had complete control for years and still have control of half of the Senate plus final control over all legislation via Bush. Yet, Wooten would try to paint a different picture. A picture riddled with half-truths and obfuscation. Tell me, Mr. Wooten, what does it mean to be a Republican? Do Republicans believe that the end justifies the means even though they cannot possibly know that the “means” will produce the desired “end”. I mean isn’t that the standing argument that the Republicans use regarding such issues as global warming or whatever else they don’t have faith in. Please let me guess. Our Republican politicians get e-mail messages from an all-powerful being telling them what means to use to get the desired end. Now there’s some “right thinking” that I can believe. By the way, you’re a real hoot, Mr. Wooten, sometimes.
