Good one Bluegal.

That step number six would really do a number on the 'ol man boobs, eh?

I just kayaked in from Australia and boy, are my arms tired. :) Thanks for the grins.

so nader accuses obama of talking white.

obama responded by saying "why, muffy, i'm taking the yacht over to the regatta, while jeeves cleans the pool house. let's have some sushi and bottled water. and then let's put on sweaters!"

And Nader is the guy that some of the crybabies want to vote for because Obama won over Clinton. Nice choice. NOT!

The kayakers could jog a little bit north to cross the International Date Line and the Equator where they intersect. Who knows what they'll find there.

Wow, Nader showing his true color, I suspected he was a closet bigot!

will someone please quote the subchapter and paragraph of the FISA bill that grants telcos retroactive immunity.

I voted for Nader because in Idaho your presidential vote doesn't count anyway. Might as well stick with your principles.

I'm thinking the Kayaker should haul out at East Lynn St, not Northlake. It's much more direct to the freeway, and shorter too.

7. Go east on East Lynn St
8. Turn left on Boylston Ave E.
9. Take the ramp straight ahead onto I-5

Gensior @ 16:

Ha! Joke's on Google, 'cause you can't beach your kayak at Gasworks Park. These directions are useless now!

Or perhaps hauling out at Golden Gardens or Carkeek Park, either of which have a straight shot to I-5 via 105th street.

McC*nt should be very very worried, esp about his campaign finance legalities.

Yesterday five FEC nominees were confirmed by the Senate by a voice vote, allowing them to reach a quorum and act on election matters. Until now, the DNC lawsuits subject to consideration by the FEC were pretty much moot because there was, in effect, no FEC.

McCain actually faces $25,000 in fines and 5 years in prison for what he's doing right now

You gotta laugh, McCain the pretend Republican candidate, the throw away disposable September retiree.

McC*nt: Can we fix it? or ignore it !
FEC: Yes we can!
Lieberman: Um... yeah, I think so. but I hope not.
MSM: Look at the Britney pics, phoooooar (while munching a McC*nt special hotdog)

Nader FOAD

Kill someone while robbing a liquor store, get a lethal injection; rape a 5-year old and 8-year old, get life. I'm generally not pro-death penalty, but if the Supreme Court can tell me a heinous act like pulling a Polanski is not punishable by execution, then I'm not sure why someone anyone who murders[or at least is accused of murder] should be the non-exceptions.

Speaking of stupid Supreme Court decisions, they reduced what Exxon owes by 75%, even though Exxon is worth ten times more. Of course, why am I not surprised that eminent domain-loving Souter sold Alaska out on this ruling?

Also, Americans still believe a guy who lost Vietnam is more capable of dealing with Iraq than Obama.

The court decided that the dollar declined in value 80% so, why give the litigants any more than what they would have received in the first place. Then they went out for drinks and had a good laugh at the expense of all of us.

Haha. That's awesome.

Fucking hilarious. I trust they carried plenty of Dramamine. Next trip: LA to London using a bicycle.

Mastercard is successfully sued for collusion.
If we don't do something about global warming, the terrorists win.
Strategist is apparently an overused term.

Its amazing how the mighty maverick McC*nt has fallen, from being a war criminal (napalming civilians) and communist appeaser (suppressor of POW and MIA evidence) to being merely a (FEC defined) criminal.
Roll on september and his RNC enforced retirement, or they could just keep the joke going until november, more chuckles for all.

Are they comong to Renton? If so they have to take the exit for MLK.

A moment of nationwide cognitive dissonance produced by Ralph Nader when he pointed out that the emperor to be has NO CLOTHES. Obama is dissappointed and will pray for ralph. Go Ralph ! Tell the truth. It hurts like hell but we need it.

Police trade bullets on JHB’s busy highway

HLENGIWE MNGUNI AND UGEN VOS

A shootout between the Metro Police and the South African Police Services left an unconfirmed number of people injured after the the Metro Police had blocked off the M1 and M2 in Johannesburg for almost two hours.

Traffic on the two highways came to a standstill with the Metro Police vowing that they would only move after their demands in a labour dispute with city management had been addressed.

With tension rising altercations broke out between the Metro Police and frustrated motorists who tried to break through the barriers put up by the Metro police.

Kevin Meyer, who was stranded on the highway couldn’t contain his frustration after Metro Police officers sprayed pepper spray on him.

“What does this have to do with us?” he asked.

“This is assault, but I know laying a complaint won’t help be cause thy are cops,” said Meyer.

The SAPS were called in to restore calm but were met with defiance from the Metro Police who demanded to be addressed by either the City Manager or ANC regional leaders, who according to South African Municipal Workers Union leaders, said they would only be able to meet with the disgruntled officers at 7am today.

The violence escalated after the SAPS drove an Inyala through the barriers and let motorists through.

Incensed Metro Police officers refused to disperse prompting the SAPS fire rubber bullets in to the crowd of officers.

The Citizen photographer Michel Bega was one of the people who were injured by rubber bullets fired by the SAPS while another photographer was forced by the Metro Police officers to delete photographs taken of them firing live rounds back at the SAPS.

"They shot at us in our own backyard! What did they think was going to happen?" one angry Metro cop told us, on condition of anonymity.

"You have to remember these people [Metro cops] are all carrying live ammo, and they're very angry. If they SAPS don't get out there's gonna be a huge mess here."

The best thing for them would be to leave here peacefully. This is not the SAPS' house - this is OUR house. And now they know that!"

The was an unconfirmed report that a civilian had jumped over the bridge on the M2 after the first shots had been fired while the Citizen received reports of a member of the public having been hit with a sjambok and having their cars damaged during the altercations.

The violence broke out after dissatisfied Johannesburg Metro Police Officers held hostage a number of the council’s officials after they had failed to respond to their demands about the salary structure of the council during a scheduled meeting at the Metro Police headquarters.

According to police officers interviewed during the aborted meeting, there had been a six year labour dispute between management and the officers.

Complaints from the officers, who chose to remain anonymous, included low pay, racism, lack of personnel development within the department, corruption and unfair labour practices.

“If Ngcobo doesn’t want to pay, they we’ll keep taking the money,” said one officer referring to bribe money.

Union leaders said the Metro Police would meet tomorrow at 6am to discuss what the next step should be.

JMPD's chief superintendent Wayne Minnaar was not available for comment.

what's with this stupid ass media. i was just watching cnn and now they are labeling Obama as the Dr. no candidate. Do these dumb asses want 4 more years of republican rule. are they stupid or what??? take off the gloves and hit mcsame with everything. don't wait, do it now. and those who are complicit must not be forgotten.

It seems that on Comedy Central that now fully paid up Republican stooge Carlos Mencia did a low hit piece on Obama.
He knows which side is buttered on his corporate toast. Selling out his fellow minorities Americans for the Republican MSM thirty pieces of silver.
I have watched the occasional show of his and he tends to be a promoter of the Apathetic party, very much in the tradition of the Hollywood 'rolling eyes circa 30/40s' variety, and some modern Hollywood.

cnn and lou dobbs in particular are up in arms over the slaying of a border patrol officer and the fact that mexico has released the purported slayer. There is no question that the government of mexico is crooked and corrupt. that's a reality. however, why wasn't there such outrage over the outing of valerie plame. dobbs rails about how the rest of the border patrol is feeling with regard to allowing the purported slayer his freedom. I ask how the rest of the CIA is feeling knowing that they were compromised once valerie plame was outed. Why wasn't there outrage there and the calling out for justice and incarceration of the doers. Why???

Here it is, the smoking gun that finishes McCain

McNasty assaults a woman in a wheelchair in 1996 during the MIA hearings.

When he [McCain] realized who we were, his face turned red and he became enraged. He would not accept the letters we had brought, he burst through our group assaulting the niece of Jane Duke Gaylor, mother of a MIA. I followed Senator McCain down the hall asking that he leave the legislation alone and all the while he is denying that he knew anything about the Missing Personnel Act. ...As we reached the elevator he said to me that I didn't know what he had been through ... I then stated I understood what he had been through and David Hrdlicka was still going through it. I had the capture picture of my husband and tried to show the picture to him but he would not look at it. ...The elevator arrived and Senator McCain quickly jumped in -- that ended our conversation. After this incident we went to the Capitol Police and filed a report. We also sent complaints to the ethics committee on the Senator's behavior.

"He went from a smiling, congenial, happy face to a beet red, totally enraged face in an instant," she said. "I have never seen a senator act in this way. We were all dumbfounded how this happened. He threw his arm up, and she goes flying and Jane [who was in a wheelchair] gets pushed aside as he brushes by her. All I see is people flying and I'm behind him [McCain]... This was assault."

McNasty has a

Self-Pity, Self-Comforting, and the Superego which translates into 'OMFG nobody understands me, they all hate me' then this gets translated into uncontrollable anger and the inevitable lash out at anybody within range.
McCain should have been medicated or hospitalized years ago if this had been diagnosed, certainlly not elected to the Congress and now making a run for the POTUS office.

Hes a out and out loony, not to be trusted with anything more deadly than his Abramoff donated winning casino chips.

As the GOP and the Republican Congress covered up for Foley and the various others, nasty little habits, so they covered for McVicious.

freeman888's post on McCain is frightening, it really hits home about the true nature (and future conduct) of McNasty.

And, it seems McSame is heading down the mental rabbit hole. The biggest difference between the senator and my late grandmother is McSame's dream of running the world into a hellish war torn nightmare of death and blood. My grandmother only hurt herself, while McSame will hurt every man, woman and, child on this planet

Excellent work nickleking.

Awww shucks.

I'm still finding it astounding a) how many people can't be convinced that obama is a muslim and b) how many are convinced that being a muslim is a bad thing c) How many think that all muslims are horrible horrible people.

granted this is all from people on a generally very right forum. it still makes me worry about our populace.

Uh . . . yeah. You see, there was this terrorist group named Al Queda, you see, and they burned down two of the most famous buildings in the United States and killed thousands of people. The AQs had been originally organized and financed by rich fanatics from Saudi Arabia and the Gulf States and organized in conjunction with the CIA to cause trouble for the Soviets in Afghanistan.

All of those organizing groups are very careful about covering their tracks and maintaining deniability when they do something immoral and illegal. However, the AQs had foolishly left their infrastructure, training camps, etc., right out in plain sight in Afghanistan, and so they made a great target for immediate retaliation.

Of course, the US government botched everything else they tried in prosecuting their "Wore on terrah," but taking out the public infrastructure of AQ in Afghanistan made perfect sense.

so within four hours we learn that a CIA-trained operation, with 15/19 operatives from Saudi Arabia and funded by Saudis, is supposed to be holed up in Afghanistan. We also learn that they received their training HERE in the US.

Sorry for bursting your bubble. Were you referring to the colon powell fingerpaints?

I know! It's Bill Clinton's fault, right?

Some of my black friends actually have from time to time accused me of "talking white". It is so sad and shocking that a true progressive like Nader would reduce himself to Karl Rove level bullshit.

Can you give me an example of what you said when you were "talking white", I'm really curious.

Some black people from my community in Chicago(not many, but some) unfortunately think that if a black person speaks in a coherent way it is "talking white". I absolutely disagree with this attitude, but it does exist.

Kudos to Google programmers for (apparently once in a great while) putting in a silly answer for nonsensical questions (driving directions across the ocean).

But, 12,700 km in a sea kayak in just 41 days? That would be over 300 km per day or about 185 miles. Need to do 12mph for 16 hours per day. 5mph seems more like it - barring currents, sea pirates, typhooons, and detours around Texas-sized dead zones of plastic waste.

The best bit is that if you were literal minded and followed instruction one and actually went into Angel Place you would never make it into Bridge St let alone Macquarie St (to get access to Sydney Harbour and thence the Pacific. I will have to a look when I go past this evening to see if any one is sitting in a car in Angel Place with a kayak on the roof trying to get wireless internet access to recheck their directions (it is a bit of a blackhole down there).

If anyone is interested, a McCain adviser talking in a YouTube clip about bringing in former Soviet Union & Thai 'masseuses' to the 5 star hotel and casino he is shilling for in the Green Zone. Also says---“we also had a racial problem between the indians, the caucasians from europe and the blacks from africa but somehow casinos have managed to fix that”. Then he adds: “only 20 years ago indians were drunk and homeless and committing crimes, today they are prosperous and wealthy driving mercedes and their kids have gameboys and play stations”. But only “the indians”, but also “have the black people with the sports have managed to advance themselves”.---(ht2 Raed Jarrar)
