Hallelujah.

Scary isn't it?
ROM Spaceknight @ 2:
As if Wolf Bushlicker's Supplication Room on CNN wasn't scary enough!
Senator Clinton got her ass kicked and that information is not going away.
Check out this "letter to the editor" from my local newspaper here in NJ. The writer is clearly clueless (what else is new?). She even concludes her letter by making the point the Dems are trying to make. Do these republicans ever "Get it?".
Here's the link:

Now there's one scary pumpkin!
Just got tickets for KOOZA (Jan 3, 08 -San Francisco)... hope you (we) all have more than politics.
Ruhhhhhruhaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!
Super Karate Monkey Death Car @ 3:
This is good news, Super Karate Monkey Death Car. But its never enough for me when it comes to the Phelps and his scumbag church.
I wanna see the Westboro church turn into a gay disco and his heinous horror hags cleaning the restrooms. I would praise the lord for that shizbit.

BOO!
heh...
Looks like we're helping the Turks commit another genocide against the Kurds.It might not be over for California. Most fundies won't vote for Rudy.
Be vewy, vewy afwaid. We awe hunting islamofascists.

given George W.'s mental health issues, I'm sure he is spending his Halloween night sitting in the pumpkin patch watching for the Great Pumpkin to appear hopeing that it will give him some more "words of wisdom" from God. :lol:
We have one more Halloween to endure with Bush/Cheney haunting the capitol. The thought of another whole year of these miscreant poultergeists running our country is truly
frighteningterrifying. I sure wish Pelosi, Leahy, Reid, and the whole gang of democratic congressional ghosts would respond to these ghouls with more than an occasional "boo!".I have a stuffed rat, pretty lifelike. So the kids got their trick with some candy treat to make them stop crying.
Actually not. I dangled the rat and pretending I was putting it into their candybags, which had a definite curve of interest, about 5 years old and below. For the tots, it was a memorable moment to go with the candy binge.
And then there's eye candy:
Today Nov. 1 and tomorrow are the Day of the Dead, and, of late, the debt of honor we owe those who have been wronged.

Paul in LA @ 21:
That stuffed rat must look pretty cool. It sure beats the one year (decades ago) when my sister and I went trick or treating. Went to our Korean neighbors house and did the usual knock on the door. The old Korean man that answered didn't know the holiday or what to do so he grabbed a box of Rasin Bran cereal and dumped it in our bags. I spend most of the next day flicking bran flakes off of my candy. :lol:
Bush wore his president's costume for Halloween.
Scary.
This is so funny (look at the picture, I'll give you the translation):
http://www.26noticias.com.ar/bush-dijo-que-su-vice-cheney-es-darth-vader...
It's from the webpage (obviously) of an argentinian news channel.
It says something like this:
The president of the USA George W. Bush joke on wednesday about vicepresident Dick Cheney, sometimes portraited* as Darth Vader, "He doesn't need a costume to become the sinister villian of Star Wars, for Halloween".
"This Morning I was with the vicepresident. I was asking him what costume was He planning to use. And He said to me: I'm already using it. Then he whispered something about the dark side of the force", joke Bush.
-------
The rest of the story says that the press called Cheney Darth Vader several times and Cheney saying that being called Darth Vader it's one of the softer (you know... the people say that him is a SOTB) things the people say about him.
-------
*Mmm i'm not sure if the word portraited exists. I mean that the people say Cheney is Darth Vader.
Haha, another gay sex scandal for the GOP! Costello this time. But I mean, really, there's been way too many of these. Too many for this party to be taken seriously as anti-gay crusaders.

Dam it all.
George was out looking for new countries to blow up.

'Car Talk' Hosts Demand Greater Fuel Efficiency - http://globalwarming.house.gov/mediacenter/pressreleases?id=0111
Tom and Ray Magliozzi of NPR's Car Talk have sent a letter to the House Select Committee on Energy Independence and Global Warming supporting an increase in fuel efficiency standards and ridiculing Detroit's claims that it can't be done. "Every single time they've resisted safety, environmental, or fuel economy regulations, auto industry predictions have turn out, in retrospect, to be fear-mongering bull feathers."
"More appropriately powered cars. In 1964, the most powerful, over-the-top Mustang muscle car you could buy came with an optional, four-barrel 271 horsepower engine. Today, that's what comes standard on the highest rated minivans. 275 horsepower. To take your kid to nursery school? What does this say about our national priorities? Do we really want to send our kids to fight and die in the desert so that we can go 0-60 in eight seconds instead of ten seconds?"

Citizen Judith Moriarty expresses her concern for what occurs in local communities. Waste in the form of plastic bottles fills the waterways. Plastic containers are more than an eyesore. The compounds used to manufacture these convenient jugs damage our bodies. Yet, Americans buy what they are sold, water bottled by foreign corporations, who as Judith writes, "under NAFTA; a company withdrawing X tens of thousands of gallons of water for their business, could challenge any local ordinance or law that would hinder their profits."

Not to stoke any of the inane conspiracy theories running wild on the Internet, but if Osama bin Laden wasn’t on the payroll of Lockheed-Martin or some other large defense contractor, he deserves to have been. What a boondoggle 9/11 has been for the merchants of war, who this week announced yet another quarter of whopping profits made possible by George Bush’s pretending to fight terrorism by throwing money at outdated Cold War-style weapons systems.
My favorite has to be watching some idiotic right wingnut defend the spending of 40+ Billion to use submarines against terrorism....I'm still laughing

If he was replaced by a cardboard cut-out & a tape recorder...would anyone really notice???

Addicted to Fear - Cowardice Has Become the Source of Republican Power - http://www.pensitoreview.com/2007/10/30/gop-is-addicted-to-fear/
The GOP’s macho bluster and endless appetite for war makes it seem counter-intuitive to think of them as cowards. And yet Republicans have become totally dependent on fear to stay in power -- and so have converted their rank and file into America’s first generation of bona fide yellow-bellied cowards.

According to Democratic candidates who ran for House of Representative seats in 2006, Rahm Emanuel, then head of the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee, took sides during the Democratic primary elections, favoring conservative candidates, including former Republicans, and sidelining candidates who were running in favor of withdrawal from Iraq.
Appointed as head of the DCCC by then-House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi, Emanuel spearheaded the Democratic Party effort to regain control of the House of Representatives during the 2006 election cycle. Emanuel claimed credit for the Democratic takeover and was promoted to chairman of the Democratic Caucus, the fourth-highest ranking position in the House. But his election tactics have been criticized by progressive activists and former Congressional candidates.
What we saw in the Dem. debate was the "Glass Ceiling" in action.... It's always "it's not that she's female".. Or she put herself in a man's position, she has to stand up like a man.... That's fine, but where are her "Good Ole Boys?".... Well, did you put her in place, boys?

I can't deal with Dennis K's take on UFOs and Shirley McClain and that whole debacle that was uncovered during the debate. Before, I might have voted for him, but now I can't. UFOs are right up there with Scientology, Amityville Horros, ghosts and all that stupid mumbo jumbo. I can't believe an intelligent person like Dennis K alluded to the whole UFO thing. Sure, he backpaddled and tried to paste the whole literal definition of UFO onto his original words. But it was completely unconvincing. Do we want the left to stand for UFO sightings? Geez. I really, really hope I don't have to start thinking of myself as a centrist.
