LOLz!

The lack of a real opposition party means attacks on the R party must be superficial.

The barbarians are making their way to Minneapolis, place of my birth. In a state once known for good governance but now home of the jackboot. The barbarians are in the gate.

Here is Glenn Greenwald's latest on the Minneapolis Gestapo attacking those apparently thinking of exercising their first amendment rights.

We are in a POLICE STATE. How about that for a cartoon.

"Click for full cartoon"? Nope, that site doesn't like deeplinking.

It can be found here: http://www.citypages.com/2008-07-09/news/the-cartoon-elephants-come-to-t...

I have to say this again.
So Pawlenty and Romney are pissed and may not even show up to the funeral next week. Arnold, Rick Perry and other republicans are staying clear of the convention. And Sarah , who knows? She might get called in for questioning since she’s under investigation for republican shenanigans in Alaska. Who the hell is going to be there besides McHuggies and his diaper changers (Graham and Lieberman)?

All flagged up and no where to go.

Yup, link is taking us to the Village Voice complaint department. Seems they are a bit upset about stealing bandwidth. Huh, imagine that.

Oh well, I guess I have to go directly to their site. Of course, had they actually supplied an easy to recognize link to their site at the complaint page, I'd have already been there and increased their daily count.

Can't wait for the Bush tribute!!! My tissues are ready....right next to the barf bag!

I'm sure Pawlenty will give them a big welcome! Ha, ha! He will probably be handing out Al Franken flyers! At least Larry Craig will feel at home. Maybe he will get to go back to jail, where they have lots of men's rooms.

zell "freddy krueger" miller?

or perhaps they could exhume the corpse of ronald reagan, prop him up onstage and play "green berets" on the big screen?

Ward Sutton's cartoon is great on the same page

[Sean-B, your link isn't working, either. Works for you because you've been to the page already. OTOH, bOngO masta's is working just fine. :D Site Monitor]

Congressional page boys stay away, Mark Foley may show. Prostitutes, here's you chance to rake it in Diaper Vitter will be there.

The only reason Palin was in position to be considered is because she isn't Frank Murkowski.

The last I heard, Arnold was going to show up. Is it true?

i hope he does....i hope the twin city media ask him about off-shore drilling

I'm puzzled. Why didn't Mcsame select Karl Rove for VP?

If the Village Voice is going to be a bunch of crybabies about thousands of people visiting their site then I guess they can live without me.

i heard a rumor one of president obama's first acts will be to unearth the jfk time capsule, and that caroline will be in charge of the new, independent investigation.

HAPPY CONVENTION, NEOCON SCUM.

PRAY GUSTAV DOESN"T PISS ON YOU AND TELL YOU IT'S RAINING.

In case anyone wants to know more about the mind-set we are dealing with, check out this moron on youtube who posts wannabe Hannity talking point videos. I love going there and harrassing him and challenging him to debates without the namecalling, which he denies to do and calls me a coward. Here is a link to the comment section of his latest video.

Scroll down. My username on there is wberpopice. It's what I do when I get bored. Harrass right wing nutjobs. Feel free to join me in making his life unbearable if you want. It's fun, because he ALWAYS has to have the last word, even if it is to call you a socialist liberal.

you better look a little closer....like under that dress you'll find:
*Rove
*Scheunemann
*Davis
*Black
mcPander didn't make this choice and we all know it.

I'm somewhere between wanting to laugh like hell of cry a river. We have some old fart who is playing Russian roulette with our future for his own gains and ego. McCain is hoping that the fact that she is a woman will be all he needs to get into the white house. What happened to competancy? Would you allow a person with the experience that Palin has to run your business for a week?

And no, I do not want to offend anyone in his age range, I am calling him an old fart to offend farts in general.

From what I have read on other posts and comments here today, it would seem the republicans are coming and are being led in by police raids on innocent people.

Larry Craig left early and spent the weekend in Minneapolis, so he could get a good seat-- in the men's washroom. He's been trolling there all weekend.

Come on let's pull for the Repubs (Craig IS....Sorry) This will be the challenge of a lifetime. How to put lipstick on an elephant--- when accomplishments can be covered in the first ten minutes.

It will be "fun" and I hope my TV screen will last longer than ten minutes.

Here is Glenn Greenwald's latest on the Minneapolis Gestapo attacking those apparently thinking of exercising their first amendment rights.

We are in a POLICE STATE. How about that for a cartoon.

how many constitutional rights and laws were broken by the police enforcing the will of the Republican regime and their stooge Gov. Pawlenty

In the house that had just been raided, those inside described how a team of roughly 25 officers had barged into their homes with masks and

black swat gear, holding large semi-automatic rifles, and ordered them to lie on the floor, where they were handcuffed and ordered not to move.

The officers refused to state why they were there and, until the very end, refused to show whether they had a search warrant. They were

forced to remain on the floor for 45 minutes while the officers took away the laptops, computers, individual journals, and political materials

kept in the house.

After Thursday night I felt I had to decompress because Friday meant McCain VP 24/7 coverage by the "lib'rul" media.

Then I get the news.........

John McCain, this is the one and only time I will say "Thank you !" And have a quiet retirement .

My DNC high will now last one more week .

Wouldn't it be cool if all the progressives in Minneapolis started putting small signs on restroom doors all over the city warning entrants to be careful with foot action while doing a sit down, because the Republicans are in town?

I hope the ACLU or some advocacy group sues the modern day Gestapo scheisstkopfs that arrested these innocent people to hell and back. I lived in MN for awhile and I guarantee you this won't be tolerated there.
