The terror that would be President McCain. If this doesn't scare the crap out of you, nothing will.
What YOU can do to become an ambassador to your country in the upcoming election. Every one of you knows someone who is thinking of voting for McCain. Click this link and find out what you can do. One tiny thing from every one who knows someone leaning towards McCain can change so much. Click this link and do one small thing.
the real story behind this story
is that billo is actually having
an affair with carrot top on the
third floor of his building in a
maintenance closet............
Flava Flav?
I'd pay money to see a photo of Billo's wife and that insane crackhead together.
That don't read like satire to me. Perhaps Mediatakeout.com or the other sites are reporting inaccurately, but certainly that author is not satirizing. He's serious as a heart attack. Oh man, please, oh please, oh please let this be true.
The real reason i hate O’Reilly? He's a fucking idiot.
True that, i'll do it live.
O'Racist is an anti-intellect propagandist. There is no other reason to hate this vile, useless, pile of steaming pig feces.

McCain's Abortion Remark Stuns Base
"McCain’s comments Wednesday to the Weekly Standard’s Stephen Hayes that former Pennsylvania Gov. Tom Ridge’s pro-abortion rights views wouldn’t necessarily rule him out quickly found their way into the in-boxes of Christian conservatives. For those who have been anxiously awaiting McCain’s pick as a signal of his ideological intentions, there was deep concern that their worst fears about the Arizona senator may be realized. "

Don't assume that I don't read books. Books don't keep you up on what the Corporate fascists are doing on a daily basis to fuck up our democracy.
Bill O'Liely and the rest of his ilk are longing for the white suburbs of the 50s and 60s. It won't happen. As I told my father, Repugs have fought against child care and Medical relief for American families, therein lies the problem. We have to take care of ourselves, educatate children and carry on the white race. Give me a break! My suburbian neighborhood is muticutural. By the time the 'Baby Boomers' are done with us, we will have nothing. While the rich get richer, we are giong to live in a ditch, thanks to Bush's policies. Vote Democratic people!

I can't believe the number of people that I KNOW did drugs in the 70s and 80s who insist to their children that they NEVER did anything like that. I'm sure they never had sex either. Denying your past is really reprehensible, and it means you didn't learn anything from it, other than to cover it up. That's what children do when caught.
That's what we have running the country at the moment; spoiled, petulant children, who will do anything to have their way. (unfortunately, they are rich and powerful, and often do get their way.) It is past time to take things back.

I don't know if anybody noticed it, but the media keeps calling Barack a terrorist. On KNBC News this morning in Los Angeles at 1:28 a.m. Chuck Henry showed a picture of the Presidential Candidate for an upcoming story and called him "Osama Bin Laden". He even chuckled after he said it and didn't even apologize. Oh, eventually he got the name right. This is no accident. I guess the Media has the idea that if you repeat it enough, eventually people will believe it. Shame on KNBC Channel 4 TV Los Angeles.

Theres almost a Reagan era person per week coming out and denounce Chimpy and his policies.

the dumb and the desperate support McCain. Hes their candidate of last resort... poor f**kers
Great satire is Jonathan Swift, this is just a speculative slam.
O'Reilly buried himself without FlavaFlav.
I suspect the Republicans did a trawl and swept up the 'care in the community' crowd, put them through Regents and similar places and created a generation of stupid dumb Repugs for Chimpy.
Nothing else comes close to suggesting why we have suffered the last seven years of George 'the drunker'.

Some one should post it on You Tube. Mistake or not, the same 'accidental' error has shown up on CNN. You're right about former Propanda Minister in Germany. In the words of Joseph Goebbels:
“If you tell a lie big enough and keep repeating it, people will eventually come to believe it. The lie can be maintained only for such time as the State can shield the people from the political, economic and/or military consequences of the lie. It thus becomes vitally important for the State to use all of its powers to repress dissent, for the truth is the mortal enemy of the lie, and thus by extension, the truth is the greatest enemy of the State.”

Its the whole 100% basis of our economic banking credit stock system, people knew it was shaky and weird, just how weird is NOW coming out in abundance.
The reality of fractional banking, liquidity, CDOs, naked short selling, and all the other 'Alice in Wonderland' crap that passes for a financial system is utterly Swiftian and beyond words to fully describe.
Of course if you strip away the all financial jargon and pseudo tech talk, and reduce how the financial world works to plain english...
It just sounds ridiculous , naked greed, fools lining up to be scammed, and a massive pyramid Ponzi scheme,
a house of cards con that periodically reaps the fruits of the gullible in the system.
Gambling is not quite polite (even tho popular with the public and profitable for the casinos), but the serious financial world is gambling a million times bigger.

For Con-servatives, "All of the Above" Means "No Clean Energy" - http://www.ourfuture.org/blog-entry/2008083313/conservatives-all-above-m...
Conservatives won't even accept a compromise that allows for more drilling, because it would also help clean energy compete against Big Oil. Conservatives know that after eight years of keeping America dependent on oil, they can't easily promote another Big Oil giveaway. So the message mantra around coastal drilling is "All of the Above." [1]
"All of the Above" is supposed to mean that we need to do "everything" in response to the gas price shock, and more drilling is just one thing among many, including support for coal, nuclear and renewable energy.
Funny thing is: that "All of the Above" list seems to sputter out for conservatives when it gets to renewable energy.
Myths and falsehoods about oil policies - http://mediamatters.org/items/200808140001?f=h_top
In reporting on high gas prices and initiatives that have been proposed to address the issue, the media have repeated or failed to challenge several myths, falsehoods, and claims contradicted by government agencies. Many of the media-advanced myths and falsehoods have promoted the notion that lifting the current moratorium on offshore drilling and expanding domestic drilling in the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge (ANWR) will have an immediate impact on rising gas prices.
A definitive guide to debunking the Grand Oil Party/Republicans BS about drilling....you just have to get the information out there...do the corporate media's job for them...

Since the Republicans can't run on issues or the $hitty economy they've created, they will manufacture war: WAG THE DOG: HOW TO CONCEAL MASSIVE ECONOMIC COLLAPSE - http://www.opednews.com/articles/WAG-THE-DOG-HOW-TO-CONCEA-by-Ellen-Brow...
What to do? War and threats of war have been used historically to distract the population and deflect public scrutiny from economic calamity. As the scheme was summed up in the trailer to the 1997 movie “Wag the Dog” -- “There’s a crisis in the White House, and to save the election, they’d have to fake a war.” Perhaps that explains the sudden breakout of war in the Eurasian country of Georgia on August 8, just 3 months before the November elections.
August 8 was the day the Olympic Games began in Beijing, a distraction that may have been timed to keep China from intervening on Russia’s behalf. The mainstream media version of events is that Russia, the bully on the block, invaded its tiny neighbor Georgia; but not all commentators agree. Mikhail Gorbachev, writing in The Washington Post on August 12, observed: “What happened on the night of Aug. 7 is beyond comprehension.
The Georgian military attacked the South Ossetian capital of Tskhinvali with multiple rocket launchers designed to devastate large areas. Russia had to respond. To accuse it of aggression against 'small, defenseless Georgia' is not just hypocritical but shows a lack of humanity. . . . The Georgian leadership could do this only with the perceived support and encouragement of a much more powerful force.”4 Note: Brzezinski! Not a nice fellow when it comes to what he thinks about Russia...
Climate crisis, economic crisis, mortgage crisis, banking crisis, you name it....but War, War, War....is the only thing that republicans can do to distract the country from their policies that have created the aforementioned crises...

Party Is as Party Does, Democratic party platform outlines green goals - http://www.grist.org/news/2008/08/14/platform/
The Democratic Party released its national platform Thursday ahead of its upcoming convention in Denver. While the health-care section is Hillary-esque, most sections, including those environment- and energy-related, echo the calls that Barack Obama has made throughout his campaign.
The section "New American Energy" declares that Dems will create up to 5 million jobs in the green-energy sector, "clean up our coal plants," make the U.S. 50 percent more energy-efficient by 2030, institute a cap-and-trade program, increase auto fuel efficiency, source 25 percent of electricity from renewables by 2025, invest in cellulosic ethanol, install a smarter electricity grid, and reduce oil consumption 35 percent by 2030.
In a swipe at Republicans, it notes that "we can't drill our way to energy independence" and that "the problem of four dollar a gallon gas" will be solved "with a comprehensive plan and investment in clean energy." The platform also says that "man-made" climate change is "not just an economic issue or an environmental concern" but "a national security crisis," requiring a "global response" including "binding and enforceable commitments to reducing emissions, especially for those that pollute the most."

I don't buy it that just pure supply and demand forces are at work. The price of gas has risen in the past at even the hint of a threat of instability in the supply side. As I said, the steady fall during the Georgia tussle reads plain to me.
seevee @ 78:
Yeah...it totally reeks of manipulation.
As for BOR's wife and Flavor Flav....I say HA!
Verdillac @ 66:
How do separate the lies from the truth when you bury your head in the sand?

Maybe it would be easier to distinguish the two without the mindless clutter from teevee....to me, WATCHING teevee IS burying one's head in the sand.
CERN has announced the date of September 10th for the Start-up of the 1st Beam of the Large Hadron Collider.
Hopefully a black hole will happen and rid the world of BO.
( or maybe he will comment that they use forks just like us )
jesus anyone who couldnt predict gas prices would fall just before the election would have to be pretty slow witted, one other thing you can depend on if your a fan of the tv series JERRICO that thier will be new episodes aired this fall, mushroom cloudes and all, all in all lifes good , enjoy what little time you have left, buy that 57 chevy you allways wanted , take a trip to see the sites in dc, watch the senators and congressmen slither out of the house of congress, follow them back to the holes in the ground they hide in when not selling you out, dont let the russians scare you, you have more to fear from our government then from the ruskies, and for gods sake dont stop takeing baths nothing worse then bo!

Is CERN short for Cernunnos?

Looks like he's dancing singing into a mike and shaking his tambourine, the hippy.
As for oil prices going down, I doubt their manipulating the market for the repubic's sake,
But they're manipulating the market for their own
So energy, hopefully for them, doesn't become an election issue.
But those of us in the Southwest have been burning up this year with high air-conditioning bills,
And there's a probability that when November comes around those prone to cold weather would be getting higher gas bills.
YEEEEAH, BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOYEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!! Ha! Ha! *Snicker*

That would definitely explain it. It would also explain those crazy ravenous looks from Cindy. LOL!
If the power of prayer is so powerful
Why can't we run our cars on them?
I have a question. If Karl Rove participated in any Govt matters while he was in Europe. ( Strange coincidences)
Isn't that a violation of the Logan Act? Since he is no longer employed by the govt.
You can see where I'm going with this. I find it odd that Rove was in Europe(Eastern?) and then all this crap explodes in Georgia.
And just by coincidence, McCain has all his talking points at the ready.
In short, I certainly wouldn't put it past them to try to do this . Just so McCain can look more Presidential.
Republicans would never do anything like that. Nope, never.
More McCain hypocrisy:
