One house, One spouse - Obama/Biden 08

We have three corrupt Senators going to save our country.

Yeah, right.

One states our government is broken.

Will somebody please ask McDraft why it is broken and how in the hell do you fix a broken government?

Yeah, AZ has some nasty hate radio. But we also have "The Original Dennis Stout" and Mark Fleming on the Vets for Peace radio program "About Face" which airs locally on Air America and nationally on the Nova M network. They cover topics such counter recruiting, VA hospitals, stop-loss, etc. It is the only show of it's type that I am aware of. We're proud of Mark and Dennis. Dennis also plays bodrhan and sings in my band.

I really would like to see people start boycotting the Sponsors of Rush and Weiner (savage), start a writing campaign to let the sponsors know that hate shouldn't be tolerated on public airwaves.

Hardest part would be someone would have to listen to their crap to log the sponsors and make the list.

Yeah...that's like torture.

HEY !!! Someone already made the list complete with Email Address' of the Sponsors. It's Right HERE

There it is. I would probably have a stroke if I had to listen to more than five minutes of that horseshit.
In that vein, I will no longer buy any BOSE products as they sponsor Brash Dimbulb's show. It's too bad; I really like their products....

When I was in construction, there was always some asshole with a damn radio blaring Rush's insipid bullshit. I got fed up one day and the radio met with an unfortunate accident...pissed that redneck off pretty good, but it was much easier to work without that crap making me so pissed off I couldn't see straight.

piece of Re-Bar accidentally fall on it?

Good evening! How are things in your world today?

Very wet, lots of lightning. Glad I don't have a desktop PC, I'm always on batteries and WIFI

smart people here use bamboo umbrellas or other wood.

Joe Biden on the issues:

"Biden is the ranking Democrat on the Senate Foreign Relations Committee. He was an enthusiastic supporter of the 2003 invasion of Iraq, and sharply criticized other Democrats who were less supportive or opposed. More recently he has called for "decentralizing" Iraq, a plan that he says would give of its major ethnic groups semi-autonomy, and called for more of a US military presence there. He voted for the PATRIOT Act in 2001, then argued against renewing it in 2005, before voting for legislation that generally renewed the PATRIOT Act's powers in 2006.

For decades Biden has been at the forefront of the war on drugs, supporting new prohibitions against methamphetamine, Ecstasy, steroids used by athletes, and other new drugs as they became popular. Biden wrote the legislation that created the position of a national "Drug Czar", and his Anti-Drug Proliferation Act provides 20-year prison sentences for club owners, concert promoters, and people who throw parties in their home, if "drug use" takes place in such settings.

He wholeheartedly supported the actions of federal agents in the Waco standoff, and visibly sneered at witnesses in Senate hearings who questioned agents' acts. He was a key proponent of the Violent Crime Control and Law Enforcement Act in 1994, which banned some kinds of semiautomatic rifles, with a sunset provision that allowed these weapons to become legal again ten years later. The law also allocated substantial funds for construction of new prisons, established boot camps for delinquent minors, and brought the death penalty for crimes related to drug dealing, civil-rights related murders, murder of a Federal officer, and acts classified as terrorism.

Over his long career in politics, Biden's biggest financial supporter has been the giant credit card company MBNA, which was also one of George W. Bush's biggest donors in 2000 and 2004. He was a proponent of the 2005 charges to bankruptcy law which made filing bankruptcy much more difficult. His son, Hunter Biden, was hired as a management trainee at MBNA straight out of law school, and was quickly promoted to executive vice president. The younger Biden has since left MBNA to establish his own lawyer-and-lobbying firm, but still receives a $100,000 per year consulting fee from the bank, which has since been swallowed by Bank of America. In 2006, Hunter Biden was appointed by President Bush to a five-year term on the Amtrak Reform Board."

While i really like Biden and will vote the OBiden ticket i think the "War on Drugs" is a tremendous waste of money. $45 billion per year and they never touch the real Drug guys, just imprison marijuana users for the most part. Most American Prisons are full of pot smokers, while the big guys get sent to Federal Farms to play golf and Tennis.

ky@24 Yeah, I'll hold my nose and vote for Obama/Biden. It won't matter anyway, the Party has already has already stolen the election.

LMAO!

Well folks. I'm off to get some lunch in me belly and watch me so bad movies on the scifi channel...they always have good cheese on sundays....

I Love the Florida Keys ... have you read all of Carl Hiaasen's Novels?
He really cracks me up. Kind of a tongue and cheek Elmore Leonard.

Eh there ok...much nicer place to visit than to live...there are people trying to make it too expensive for the blue collar locals to live here...want the entire island chain to be nothin but a playground for the super-rich...which it pretty much already is, but at least the unwashed hordes can still live here for now.

Your correct ... and they are good buddies who work for the same rag in south Florida. I love them both.

BB@28 War on Drugs is just another War on People who lack power and voice. Unless you're Rush Dimbulb - then you only get a slap on your soft, smooth pudgy little hand.
Cui bono? The privatised prisons, goofy rehab clinics, Big Pharm, Big Liquor and the timber industry.
Science has shown us that many animals will seek agents that will alter their level of consciousness. Starlings, waxwings and some corvids will gleefully snarf down fermented berries and get falling-down drunk.
There are numerous examples.

crazylikeafox @ 35:

Do I just have a faulty memory or did the Soviet Union collapse from within due to military spending?

Is there any way we could spend more on our military? Considering we already spend more than all the rest of the world combined.

Are we gearing up to fight aliens now?

I can't understand how people aren't crazy mad how much of their money goes to military contractors and the interest we are paying on the national debt because of this overspending.

No, no space aliens. But the Carlyle Group must be ecstatic now that the dumbf***s in the Whitehouse have restarted the Cold War with Russia.

I'm aware of that- though I think Barry is either on a lengthy hiatus or retired now.

Ever read the other great Detroit crime writer, BB? Loren D. Estleman, that is. Probably best known for his Amos Walker series, but I prefer his other work. He wrote three books that are a historical Detroit arch (Whiskey River, Jitterbug, and Edsel) that are excellent. Then there was the surprisingly good Sherlock Holmes vs. Dracula.

☻Bangkok Bob ☻ @ 39:

POP. have you read Hiaasen? He writes about Florida crooks and politician all being tied together, very funny stuff. Writes about all the scams that come down ofter the storms pass though, got some really good characters.

Tim Dorsey writes some absolutely hysterical FLA stories.

fixed it...

I used to love the Keys until the big cruise ships began docking in Key West and that about ruined the place. The stores owned by locals were sucked up and chain stores came in with fancy assed stuff that would appeal to the cruise folks. I have never been more inebriated than the fun times I have spent in the Keys.

I have read all of Hiaasen's books along with those of Laurence Shames. Shames writes some funny stuff but you need to begin with the first one and move forward. I believe the first one was, "Florida Straits" and next was "Scavenger Reef". More followed.

I really like Hiaasens character Snipe. Ex governor who disappeared and became a swamp-living road-kill eating do-gooder. Great fun, I'll try Shames, is he in the same vein?

I'm not sure I put him in the exact same vein, but he is funny as hell and writes about some New York gang like wanna-bes who go to the Keys to become mafia. The funny thing is they are as inept as hell.

Here's the Amazon page and you can scroll down to see what other readers have said. They give Florida Straits four and a half stars. Should be five, in my opinion

When I used to work in an office that had that crap on, the radio learned to fly and then crashed. I think the pilot's name was McSame. He was an expert at crashing things.

What a ticket. It is a win before it begins.

The American People: John, face it, there isn't any connection..... Everything's a fuckin' travesty with you, man! And what was all that shit about Vietnam? What the FUCK, has anything got to do with Vietnam? What the fuck are you talking about?

bluegal, thanks for pointing to the Media is Plural post. The article does not call AZ the capitol of hate radio but it does reflect they have some of the the "hatiest" who seem to relish in the hate more than I have seen anywhere. Here they are proud of being right wing and ignorant but these AZ wingnuts seem proud of their hate. As has been pointed out, Pheonix is also home of some progressive radio also. But it does appears the right wingers want AZ to have the title of "Our hate talkers hate more than your hate talkers."

That's a fantastic Consortium News piece.
