the Repug presidential candidates got from the Latino community during the last primary when they refused to debate each other on Univision; that is, no respect at all.
On the Dems side, they had to get Bill Richardson to only speak English during the debate so as not to have an unfair advantage I guess, and when Obama became the candidate, his sister did an interview with Primer Impacto, I think, without the aid of a translator. (She said she decided to learn Spanish because so many people thought she was Latina).

English is our national language, gosh durnit and by golly olly oxenfree.
that also consume media in other languages. I consume media in three languages other than English, Spanish in particular. For politicans to try and make this their Alamo by refusing to deal with other-language media instead of being concillatory smacks of xenophobia.
Not to mention the people that consume these media are voters too, and the politicans are shooting themselves in the foot. Just about all of the Republican candidates refused to participate in the Spanish language debate, and look where the Republican ticket wound up.
And furthermore, maybe some of these foreign-language media folks are covering the Palin phenomenon for media outlets in other countries who are curious about what's going on with the rest of the world, including America...unlike, say, Sarah Palin's base who probably couldn't even find their rear-ends on a map if they tried?

I live on the edge of a rather large forest, at the end of a gravel road.
My oldest dog just wandered up the drive one day with a big smile on his face and his tail wagging happily: "I'm gonna be your dog and you're gonna love me." He's been with me a litle over 8 years.
The younger dog as abandoned as a puppy at the end of the gravel road. "Dump your unwanted dogs in the country - the people there will take care of them" .. I guess. He immediately started to follow my first dog around.
The two of them are asleep on their bed on the floor beside my desk.
Best dogs in the world!

Best dog. We play with TWO balls. I throw one. He fetches it, then drops it at my feet when he sees that I have another one to throw. It's a very fast-moving game. Got him on Freecycle. Half Border and half Aussie, smart. Thinks that if he just pays enough attention to the cats, eventually they'll like him.

My godmother gave me my oldest two cats. She found Joey and Mimis in an alley when they were just kittens. Our dog Andy, we took pity upon because his owners were abusive and neglectful, and eventually they abandoned him. I found our other dog Jeremy in Andy's crate one night this past spring. He'd been getting by by eating from Andy's food and sleeping in his crate. He was injured and hungry, but is great now. :) Callie, another of our cats, showed up and started eating Jeremy's food. And she was pregnant when she came to us, so now we have Gomez and Lily too. It's a full house, but I wouldn't trade it for anything! :)

It's nice to know that if my tuition paid your ass to run my campus, you'd wait an hour and a half to let me know about a shooting that same day. Anyone else fit the profile of an angry American?

Texas executes someone with a low IQ. Wal-Mart's forced to pay $40 mil for screwing workers out of breaks. "Ethical" stem cell lines introduced. Max Fuckus isn't just in bed with insurance lobbyists.

Senator Baucus Reveals Relationship With Woman He Nominated, A.P. Reports
A spokesman for Senator Max Baucus said the Montana Democrat
was in a romantic relationship with the woman he nominated
for U.S. attorney, the Associated Press reports.
The spokesman Ty Matsdorf said Mr. Baucus and his former
state office director, Melodee Hanes, began the relationship
in the summer of 2008. Baucus nominated Hanes for the U.S.
attorney post last March, but she later withdrew her name.

Funny that Bush's "apology" in response to Katrina is not considered one of Time's Top 10. Just a little analogy I picked up off Hollywood Elsewhere....Global warming might mean higher dams+stilts.
I dont remember him doing that (not saying he didnt) but I do remember his last press conference where he did no such thing and I remember that rambling, angry denial about slow response time and where he referred to the "chopper drivers" who swooped in and did admirable work and, like the soldiers he sent into Iraq to get blown up for reasons TBD, he hid behind their valiant efforts in an unsuccessful attempt to escape any blame for his bumblefuck lack of decision making. It was a pathological display for sure

Palin, Gregg, the fuckin' lot of 'em.
Oh, I still think we need to take the threat they pose to America seriously, but the world needs to stop pretending that the Republican Party is a serious, genuine, governmental player. It's not. We've reached the point where they mutter anything they feel like, knowing full well that they no longer have to make sense for their insane constituency. A Republican could stand up tomorrow, and say, "No more hen fap!" and FUX News and gang would fall in line, along with everyone else in the party, to make hen fap the loudest issue of the day. All we'd hear for weeks would be Obama's failure to combat hen fap, and Pelosi's Socialist plans to force hen fap on your family.
They're not serious people. They're lunatics.
I no longer marvel at their "hypocrisy," any more than I find it hypocritical for a baseball player to try to stop the ball when he's on defense, but hit it as hard and as far as he can when on offense. It's not hypocritical to prevent the other team from scoring, and then to turn around and try to score yourself, using the same moves and plays you tried to thwart the previous inning. It's just how the game is played.
And that's all this is to them. A game. But it's a game in which anyone who does not agree with every last (contradictory) inanity they spew is not a legitimate player in their heads. They see themselves as the only true Americans, and everyone else as an other.
We cannot work with them or negotiate with them. We must only work to marginalize them.
Okay, I'm done rambling.
Everyone is equally entitled to the pursuit of happiness. Wasn't that once self evident?
They are addicted to the idea that they control America. We should marginalize them, laugh at them for comic relief, and work to make them see the error of their ways so they will join us.
Good points, I aqree with everything you said. I'd add the corporate media, along with sites like Ariana Huffington's site are helping them make a comeback by giving them false equivalency, and a lazy view of politics that says the 2 party system is a given so it's inevitable for this failing party to come back to power.
We need a new paradigm to emerge that moves us to a more socially conscious 2, 3, or 4 party system. I want the republican party to become as relevant as the constitution party or green party are today.

Governor Palin! Remember that little thing about her quitting a few months back? The title does not follow her once she's left office.
"Former Alaska Governor Sarah Palin" (she's not Arizona's former governor!) would be the appropriate title by which to call her. Or for brevity, Quitter works as well.

Actually, the Baucus thing is perfect, because now Reid and Obama can play LBJ '65 and threaten not to support his next campaign, unless he changes his mind on the "public option". Assuming they're savvy enough to do that, of course. The House extends the wealthy estate tax. NC gets a global warming three-in-one on the same day.

Unless, of course, you're in a dry climate and there's irrigation water being used all night to make it look like something back East. Think about Las Vegas, with 4" of average annual rainfall, irrigating not only golf courses (yes, there are quite a few) but landscaping, fountains, even a casino with an indoor pool large enough to stage Roman Navy galley battles! That water's being pulled out of the Colorado River.
When the papers were signed for the states in that watershed, back in the '30's and '40's when Hoover Dam and others were being built, California got the lion's share of the water. The problem, though, is that it was a wet decade and the amount of water being agreed upon was the highest amount possible. It's been progressively drier ever since. And Las Vegas wasn't the powerhouse Mafia playground-- yet-- that it later became. See the documentary Cadillac Desert for that, and the Mulholland story, and more.
