If only these idiots weren't so predictable. . .
"I know that there are people who do not love their fellow
man, and I hate people like that! " ~ Tom Lehrer (1928 - )
Wow! We sure didn't see that coming, did we?
Yes that is a snark bite. :)
Say what you mean. Mean what you say. But don't say it mean.
This just in...Cavuto says Obama to blame for the fact that he is a bloated bastard.
"Anyone that makes less than $150K in this country, has no business voting Republican."
The Saudis can go get lost in the dunes....
You don't get a 'bail out' if you make fortunes off the pollution of the Earth...
If anything they belong in a World Court up on crimes against Humanity (and not just against the Environment)...
We don't inherit the Earth from our ancestors, we borrow it from our children - Native American proverb
If being cold means there's no such thing as global warming, does being full mean there's no such thing as world hunger?
14 of the 19 9/11 terrorists were Saudi. So we should tell them to pound salt on any aid. Plus they are richer than Midas and they want AID?
Hey con-servatives...the sky is IN FACT falling: Entergy CEO warns of humanity’s extinction if climate legislation not passed - http://www.grist.org/article/2009-10-14-enter...
Participants in a Clean Energy Economy Forum at the White House included J. Wayne Leonard, the Chairman and CEO of Entergy Corporation, the utility giant based in New Orleans, La. Speaking at the White House event, Leonard called for action on climate change and clean energy not just for economic reasons but starkly moral ones
I love how the con-servatives not only have selective 'memory', 'morals', and 'certitude'....but apparently their own 'lying eyes' are also selective.... Pay no attention to the unstable weather patterns of the last 20 years...brought on by climate change... Because 'if' you're wrong (which science & reality say you are) we're screwed as a species.... THERE ARE NO DOWN SIDES to ACTION...
BUSH CRIME FAMILY BUSTED MORE MALFEASANCE CONFIRMED: Secret Report Revealed: Bush Admin Determined CO2 to be Public Threat in 2007 - http://www.treehugger.com/files/2009/10/secre...
Of course, after Cheney had him convinced, Bush sealed the document and refused to release it to the public. And hence we had two more years of inaction on climate change, and a deeply tarnished environmental legacy from the Bush administration.
We told you so...
US Energy Secretary Chu hopeful about climate bill - http://www.reuters.com/article/latestCrisis/i...
I still don't understand why we have to mortgage the US Treasury to build those idiotic Nuclear 'power' plants....30-40 years useful life (1.5-3 Billion a yr)...then 150 years to decommision with twice the workforce needed....
The Incredible Shrinking U.S. Chamber of Commerce Faces Intense Pressure Over Extreme Climate Position - http://www.desmogblog.com/incredible-shrinkin...
It turns out that the U.S. Chamber of Commerce only has 300,000 members, not the “more than 3 million” it claimed to represent just a day ago, before Mother Jones magazine questioned the business lobby’s inflated numbers.
The Chamber has now “quietly backed off” the 3 million figure, according to Mother Jones. Since 1997, the "3 million" figure has appeared in print more than 200 times in newspapers and broadcast outlets of all sizes…
By contrast, the 300,000 figure, which appears nowhere on the Chamber's website, is cited in the news database Lexis-Nexis only three times--infrequently enough to be mistaken for a typo.”

The Next time a con-servative says something about Obama's Nobel Prize: Obama’s Nobel Prize – the unknown story - http://politicalirony.com/2009/10/15/obamas-n...
Is it satire??? Hardly...this is exactly what would have happened...
Stephen Colbert on Scalia claiming the 'Cross' is not a religious symbol - http://politicalirony.com/2009/10/15/scalia-c...
At the Supreme Court yesterday, Justice Scalia was either playing straight man to give the ACLU lawyer the laugh line, or else he is just showing why people call him the most conservative justice on a very conservative court.

Ah...just call it what it is....Pravda for Dummies...
Another lie from the 'RNC': Jackie Robinson Was A Republican - http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2009/10/13/rnc-...
"I wasn't altogether caught of guard by the victory of the reactionary forces in the Republican party, but I was appalled by the tactics they used to stifle their liberal opposition," Robinson wrote of that 1964 convention.
"I was a special delegate to the convention through an arrangement made by the Rockefeller office. That convention was one of the most unforgettable and frightening experiences of my life. The hatred I saw was unique to me because it was hatred directed against a white man.
It embodied a revulsion for all he stood for, including his enlightened attitude toward black people."
Arrest these POS Pravda for Dummies idiots already: Michael Moore has hired private security because...Glenn 'Happy Feet-University of I don't remember' Beck and Bill 'Where was I born & raised again?' O'Reilly want Michael Moore dead - http://www.irishcentral.com/ent/Michael-Moore...

Actually they have been since 1996... Its Pravda for Dummies....simple as that.
Senate Foreign Relations Committee Chairman John Kerry, who will travel to Afghanistan and Pakistan this week, said on Tuesday he was "very wary" of sending more American troops to the region.
- http://www.reuters.com/article/gc05/idUSTRE59...
Of course con-servatives & republicans want more money & lives wasted in Afghanistan...because it increases their chances of 'drowning government in a bathtub'....and being 're-elected'/selected by 'close' elections on for profit voting machines owned & operated by con-servative lunatics...
Victory for the 21st Century: Limbaugh Dropped From Rams Bid - http://online.wsj.com/article/SB1000142405274...
Should we celebrate like the con-servative idiots did when Rio won the bid for 2016??? No...because unlike them, we turn our attention to things that matter and try to make them work...
Socialism Update for the Elderly that should know better: President Barack Obama proposed giving payments of $250 to more than 50 million retired Americans who won't get an increase in their Social Security checks next year.
- http://thehill.com/homenews/administration/63...
This is a 'socialist' nation already....we pay taxes to use the commons, everyone uses them, some A LOT MORE then others...and they SHOULD PAY MORE FOR IT...ie taxes...its a concept that's been around since Ancient Egypt....unlike the fantasyland/alternate universe of 'free marketism'...
So...all you elderly 'for hire' tea baggers....don't be a hypocrite...refuse it...even though we know you won't...because con-servatives are very predictable...the money is all that matters...and that is a waste of existence...

Wouldn't Saudi's have to redefine chutzpah
Seeing that they're gentiles?
Diabolus est Deus Inversus
The "Bay Area" linked story is about how all the "fixes" Republicans are pushing at the National level have already been tried here in Texas at the state level, and have all failed miserably.
Sometimes, someone puts it together so well, there's no need to write anything more yourself.
* There are two types of Republicans: millionaires and suckers.
"Mugsy's Rap Sheet": Recording history for those who seek to rewrite it.
If Harry Reid pulls out his nutsack and plops it down right on the desk of the CEO of CIGNA, then, and only then, will I believe he actually has one.

Ariticle @DU says BLOODYISRAEL to attack Iran after Dec. F**k BLOODYISRAEL!!!!! Shill/whore for Military/Industrial/petroleum/media mafia, not more than that. State my ass!!! Just a whore.
on earth as it is.
We routinely commit crimes against international law and civilized norms. Yet feel quite comfortable in claiming moral authority in the community of nations as we kick back for a weekend of Sports.
At this point, I'd accept spare change. My laptop went down earlier this week and I can't afford to get it fixed. Any help, however, minimal, would be deeply appreciated.
