I thought this video from Momlogic.com was too cute to pass up.

What's on your mind? What's the word on the street?

But, but, that guy, curveball says that Iran has nukes.

Yeah, nukes up the wazoo. Unless....

I may not stay long, so "what;s up!!!!"

I'm still working too many hours, which these days is a blessing.

http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/...

Obama is giving the Military Industrial Complex a hard-on.

I guess he was taking notes during the Israeli-Gaza crisis.

'The U.S. bombing campaign against al Qaeda leadership in Pakistan continued today, and among those killed may be a leading al Qaeda member'. Source.

oh, the ubiquitous Al Qaeda #2 Leader was taken out again?

Whom will get out those dubious Osama Bin (Tim Osman) Laden terror messages out now?

I get rid of a #2 at least once a day!

And I’m a regular guy!

eh?

when he said he would follow al quiada anywhere...including pakistan?

obama is not a dove

so far, obama has kept all his campaign promises

here is what you do

call up kucinich, then you, he, nader, finkelstein and chomsky can have one big hand wringing session over dead terrorists, then you can all sit around the campfire singing kumbaya

had bush done this instead of going into iraq, i woulda had no problem

pakistan has always been the issue...and if they wont do their job...we will

Oh, I see. We weren't expanding or enforcing the US empire in the "right" countries for your liking?

In your world, as long as we kill the - right - brown people and as long as the Leader has a (D) behind his name to show his party affiliation - like a football helmet logo - then you can cheerlead all the dropped bombs and launched missiles.

doesnt have anything to do with those brown people funding the taliban and providing safe passage to al quaida members

they just arent my color

(btw, i get mistaken for a hispanic all the time)

but that doesnt matter...I HATE BROWN PEOPLE

i also hate yellow, purple and the polka dotted ones too

I see you swallowed the government's propaganda hook, line, and sinker.

bush hasnt turned a blind eye to them since day one

guess that was a government lie too

oh wait...bush was the head of the government

taliban now has regained control of the north

how did that happen?

where did the arms and the money come from?

guess we should just put away our toys and go home

then in i dont know, 10-15 years weep and cry and ask why we didnt do more to avert the next major terrorist attack

or....we can clean up bush's mess...really get pakistan on our side...clean up afghanistan...and really help them rebuild their infrastructure

and where is the money comeing from to help them rebuild thier infrastructure ? oh yeah we can borrow it from china!

had we not blown billions on that idiotic, illegal and immoral war in iraq

oh, maybe you can explain why one of Pakistan's generals, Mahmoud Ahmad, the director of the Pakistani Inter-Services Intelligence, was having breakfast with Porter Goss and Sen Graham on the morning of 9-11 after he had just sent Atta $100k through a wire?

something to talk about for the next 7 years

the kennedy stuff and the fake moon landing were getting kind of old...so he knew you all needed a new conspiracy theory to keep youselves busy with, while the jews took over the universe

or didnt you knowe that ahmad, goss and graham are all jewish

in fact, they were the dancing israelis

ok lets get something straight, israel is a pile of shit right now

http://www.democracynow.org/2009/1/22/part_ii...

Graham lives in Seneca and is a member of Corinth Baptist Church.

http://lgraham.senate.gov/public/index.cfm?Fu...

you dont have to be ashamed just to be a republican anymore !warmongerings for everyone!

gave up my party affiliation when the dems rolled over to bush one too many times

had bush not taken his eye off of afghanistan, none of this would be necessary

but you guys believe what you want

ive got a good idea for you

why dont you ask jimmy carter to form a delegation and go up to the pakistani mountains and have a chit chat with the terrorists

cuz that worked really good when he had a sitdown with hamas

havent you noticed peace breaking out all over the middle east?

wooopeee...happy days are here again

I actually agree with you, tubesox. Pakistan is the wild west right now.

Don't F with Hammas, though. Israel is looking pretty crummy these days.

Drinky. Funny. No worry about bullettiees. Me drinky.

shut up about chomsky you rube

OMG

an UNDERAGED INTERRACIAL relationship?

This sin is child abuse.

When the street ain't big enough, just make your own road:

http://www.nbc6.net/news/18550625/detail.html

Why is it that when elderly people (86 in this case) plow into stores, other people, that cops "have to investigate further"? Why a double standard? If I plowed my car into a store at 60 MPH, destroying it and sending four people to the hospital, I'd be tazed and beaten by the cops.

This elderly woman, who probably should not have been behind the wheel for years, went home tonight without as much as a citation.

the man was given jail time

but it is sad when you lose your independence

public transportation sucks in most cities, leaving many seniors homebound

thank god my folks live in san francisco

One of the very few to get a conviction.

The question remains: Why is it OK for an elderly person to recklessly run their car into crowds? Do they get an exemption to maim at a certain age?

This is a serious problem in my state with a huge aged population. I'm not unsympathetic to their loss of independence, but it shouldn't be at the expense of the innocent.

something like this or another tragedy happens, just like republicans, you people want to take away someone else's rights. WTF is wrong with you people.

just charge them if they commit a crime, such as reckless driving or failure to maintain vehicle control resulting in bodily injury, the same as a younger person would be.

There are many here in FL that drive as if intoxicated, on a daily basis.

i care

then you know how bad our transportation system is

they are finally getting the subway to the beach ok'd...and you know that whole system stinks anyway

socal had one of the greatest transit systems in the world...the red car system

of course, that had to be ripped out to allow for progress

that progress now clogs the streets and the freeways, chokes our air and is leading to global warming

the red car system was green...and everyone, no matter what class or strata...used it

alot of times, i understand the unibomber...i really do

there was never a need to destroy the red car...and for the past 40 years, they have been trying to find a replacement...but to no avail

so what im saying is...the problem is much greater than making sure some old lady dies in prison

I'm sorry but there's just something a little icky about using your child to make a political point.

its cute

especially the preemtive strike part

If it were Sarah Palin's kids being video taped to make a point for the right would we think it's cute or rightly accuse her of using her children as political pawns? True the parents of this video aren't running for higher office, still. Let's leave the hypocrisy for the right.

did the child say anything that was patently offensive?

ive seen ads of politicians with their kids and the kids saying "vote for my daddy/mommy" doesnt bother me

you guys are starting to sound like the great loofa one

i remember him going nuts off of a youtube vid of a kid basically calling him an ahole

the kid was being fed lines, just like here....but it was funny

guess only those in the middle still have a sense of humor

oh, and ive seen the palin kids in action...this kid can run circles around them all

none of Sara's kids could actually string a sentence together that contained a complete thought unless it involved meth or alcohol or guns or some combination thereof.

they would not be worth the 1:06.

she was teaching her language.

The only thing icky i guess is trying to show off to the world how incredible or cute her child is.. or something

Does have a Jon Benet Ramsey quality to it doesn't it? I'll bet the mother is one of those who has one of those obnoxious "My child is an honor student at Bumfuck Elemetary" bumper sticker on her SUV.

My parents had a "My child went the entire year without getting expelled" bumper sticker on their Chevy Impala when I was a kid.

there was nothing unhealthy about that. and the kid shows promise.

i particularly love the one with the kid who says he only likes his mommy when she gives him cookies

great kid

I thought Saddam had it all!

GNA

I have an early flight so...off I go.

Sweet dreams all!

and be well.

Here we go again...

On a runaway train, and the bridge is out up ahead.

Who is gonna loan us the trillions were are gonna need to fund Obama's economic miracle?

you think the Chinese are?
you think the Saudi's or Japanese are?

trillions, upon trillions $$$ of debt (with interest tacked on too)

do you people realize what happens when all that debt is unserviceable? really?

Don't want to hear it.

who cares

we are going down in flames

enjoy the ride

Obama..."I WON!"

questionable sourcing at best.

http://rawstory.com/news/2008/Obama_reverses_...

ya...he let that idiot speak at the innaugeration, then did the right thing

got rid of the abortion gag rule

now the pro lifers can have a great gnashing of teeth and wringing of hands, while the far left does the same for 20 terrorists in pakistan

you all can go straight to hell...cuz this is my president

an intelligent pragmatist who will truly make the world free

HUZAAAH....HUZAAAH...HUZAAH!!!!!!!!!!!

now see this is why im against doing away with mental health classes in high school!

or you dont like being lumped in with the nut jobs on the right

too bad

i trust in my president

hes blowin up the bad guys, and letting women take control of their bodies

[Deleted. You are skating on extremely thin ice, buster. You don't tell people where to move because you don't like what that say or how they think. That's a right wing activity-Sitemonitor]

they fund terrorists and think that women are evil harlots

i allso feel that them that love it should join up to shove it! be all you can be!

it was not a serious comment

it was an observation

or didnt you notice that i just got called crazy for being overjoyed that the gag rule was overturned

ok...let me make everyone feel better

aipac is evil...there are no terrorists in the mountainous areas of pakistan

the taliban are the future of afghanistan

afghani women really dont need to go to learn as you cant get a decent job wearing a burka anyway

in one post?

yuck. You always vascillate between extremely argumentative and insulting or utterly disingenuous and sarcastic to just about everyone on this site. You seem downright mean and loving it a lot of the time.

*shudder*

come on...group hug

[You do need to tone it down-Sitemonitor]

no proof they were actually terrorists yet, it is just the word

although i tend to agree

It's been proven Bush and Cheney are terrorists and they're still at large.

dat!

why do you think that the repukes are holding up holder's nomination?

they are shaking like a leaf

i say indictments get handed out in early june

we get a special prosecuter and it will not be fitzgerald.

i want him to investigate the guys who went after spitzer

that entire investigation still stinks to high hell

the man was on the verge of breaking the entire wall street scam, and then amazignly, using the patriot act, he is busted for bedding hookers

something very wrong there

we get a special prosecuter and it will not be fitzgerald.

w tried to destroy her future. it's fitting that she tell him to not let the door hit him. that's a lot of class from a post-toddler. more certainly than w.

I believe the children are our future, teach them well and let them lead the way.

The pound gets pounded by Bush's legacy. Anyone think Labor will ever get a majority again? Haggard can't get enough gay sex. Obama approves stem cell research for spinal injuries. New Trojan. Contrary to the argument of religious people, Darwin didn't come up with evolution because he was a bigot. A judge pulls a Florida on Franken. Looks like airport security might finally improve. Obama reverses Bush's global gag rule.

Pretty smart little twerp isn't she???

Obama reverses Bush abortion-funds policy

http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20090124/ap_on_go_...

Thank you so very much from taking us back from the medieval ages. That was one of the most disgusting policies Bush made among so many.

it was the policy of forcing medical professionals to not be allowed to even speak of alternatives to birth

it included most forms of birth control

next up...kill funding for abstinence only programs

now all of this will reinvigorate the right...but now it doesnt matter...cuz everyone is laughing at them

HAPPY about it! :) :) :)

Nashville cares about foreign people. Are there any set-backs to the shutting down of Gitmo?

Let's invade Saudi Arabia instead! Now that is a war that will pay for itself and then some. All that oil, cash and influence.

Oh yeah and they financed and staffed the entire 9/11 operation, home to Osama. Shit that's a good reason right there.

(sarcastic today but in 2001 its what I would have done)

Just because most of the so called hijackers were from there doesn't mean we should attack them. Iraq had better targets and we can easlily take care of Afghanistan.

better targets? Iraq did not attack the us on 9/11.

Better targets was Rumsfeld's complaint about Iraq over afghanistan
and we did not easily take care of Afghanistan. We are losing that war.

Where do you get your info? The post said my comment was sarcastic but the argument you laid out above sounds like something bush would say.

SNARK!

when resources were pulled from afghanistan to go to iraq and we installed a weak puppet regime in kabul

who obama may just cut off at the knees

the only foreign policy success bush has, is the fight against aids in africa

and alot of that has to do with his two brats constantly bitching at him about it

A sudi princess transferred 100,000 to Atta before the attacks. Osama is from Saudi Arabia and if we really valued him, we would have gone after his family, like we did sadam's.

because factions were also a part of the planning

No matter who you are, no matter how much I agree with your opinions:
1) You force your opinions on children (yours or others) you immediately lose 100% of your respect with me.
2) You advance your agenda through children you immediately lose 100% of your respect with me.
SHAME ON YOU, WHOEVER MADE THIS VIDEO, SHAME ON YOU WHO POSTED IT, AND SHAME ON EVERYONE WHO'S NOT CONDEMNING IT!

The “shock and awe” tactic driving trillion dollar bailouts in response to the "spontaneous collapse" of the financial system is a script I’ve seen before.
What would need to happen for a return of confidence to the financial markets, banks and government? .

not allowed to talk to crowds, reporters due to "ongoing investigation."

WTF? The guy puts down the plane successfully, everyone lives, and he STILL can't talk? I'd say FUCK YOU to those who won't let him speak!

Just saw an ad for it today. Figure it's got to be a fluff/recruiting propaganda piece. Never watched it or heard of it before.

Icelandic government becomes first to be brought down by the credit crunch
http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/worldnews/art...

The nominee is William J. Lynn, who was working for Raytheon until late last Thursday. Since then, of course, he's had his memory scrubbed clean with a powerful amnesia agent -- not unlike the one in Eternal Sunshine of a Spotless Mind -- and now he doesn't even know what Raytheon does.

It's like he was never Senior Vice President of Government Operations and Strategy at all.

Obama announced that the revolving door between government and lobbying would be slammed shut -- wait, can you slam a revolving door? -- "for as long as I am president." And broke the pledge while he was saying it.

How disappointing.

in office. Otherwise, I'd figure it was a hit on Redhate.

wondered if Presidents don't intentionally die their hair gray the longer they are in power. Even Boosh turned almost instantly into an old man, and there is no way in hell that was from stress!

of thousands under his reign.

that man has ever felt an ounce of guilt, becuz it's one of those goshdarn hard words ta spell and pronounce, and he didn't invent it.
