Whistleblower Ben Johnston exposes Dyncorp Supervisors engage in selling women and girls as sex slaves, mainstream media won't touch it.

Congresswoman McKinney took up this issue with Donald Rumself, he ignored it. See it here.

How much longer are we going to ignore this stuff. It's just as bad as when people ignored the molestation of boys by the Catholic Priests. Once we acknowledge it and publicize it, it will stop.

A disgrace to ever be considered for the highest offices of our land.

Palin really thinks she is smarter than the rest of us. Read her illiterate e-mail, then contrast that with the thoughtful, erudite response from the editor. She is dumber than I originally thought and I actually thought she only had a few functioning brain cells. She is a clown. I truly wish she would just quietly go away.

Not to encourage your continued displays of insensitivity, not the ageism of the poster to whom you were responding, but their are plenty of mature women in your own neck of the woods who like Palin's approach.

I don't this ageism has anything to do with it. I'm a "mature" person and she insults my intelligence. Although, I must admit she is the gift that keeps on giving. She's a moron and every time she opens her mouth, she just proves that point over and over and over again.

I know many Republicans that are embarrassed that she was ever on the ticket. They all wish she would go away too. She isn't qualified to walk my dog.

I have it on good authority that Trig is really Sara's baby after all but Todd ain't the baby daddy. And the kid's not a US citizen to boot.

He was born on a windswept island in the Bering Sea and Vladimir Putin is the father! Seems he and Sarah had a little tryst one early Alaska morning when she was out on homeland security patrol and old Vladimir reared his head (or was it headed his rear? I'm not exactly sure how those rooskies "do it").

Anyway, pretty juicy stuff huh? Now all I need is a couple of million $$ in seed money for some full page ads and a trip to Olekminsk to get some local to swear through an interpreter of my choosing that the whole story is true. I should have it all ready by October 2011 if all goes well.

I still maintain that Sarah named her kids for where they were conceived. Piper in the Piper Cub, and Trig in Trigonometry Class.

Big Boppa's picture
And

by that logic, one of them must have been conceived when she was hammered on Harvey's Bristol Cream.

The Lions don't deserve to be linked with these corrupt fools. No one is covering Matt Millen's fat ass for the mistakes he made.

After Bush gave his speech in NOLA why didn't he leave the generators behind? THAT would have been a good gesture! Instead he hops into his plane and takes his lights with him.

Kilgore Trout's picture

As usual, you can come up with the best analogy and yet it is still not as bad as Bushco.
There is just no comparing this administration to any previous failures. W's record as the greatest failure in everything he has ever done is still intact. I guess he acheived being #1 at something after all.

Because her e-mail sounds as if she didn't even read the newspaper stories in question or quote them to back up her crazy arguments? The Anchorage Daily News deserves kudos for responding to her nutty "Is it true?" whining in a measured, reasonable way on its blog. She comes off as someone who is illiterate and uninformed, as someone who hasn't read "any of 'em, all of 'em" at ALL. Yes, the ADN tried to do a story on the crazy rumors about Trig's parentage to LAY THEM TO REST. And what does the governor do in response? Not provide proof or access so the rumors, like Obama's birth certificate rumor, can be laid to rest once and for all. All she needs to do is provide Trig's birth certificate. That's all.
She hasn't a clue about how newspapers work, so the rumor that she has a degree in journalism is, for me, not yet proven until I see that sheepskin.

That says it all.

...can obtain a college degree...me included. I have a friend who has two degrees, and the more you get to know him the more impossible it will be for you to believe this man's educational background.

CMINCA's picture

She attended 6 schools, but did she finally graduate? She was doing so poorly at University that she was forced to go back to community college for a while.

Even if she does have a degree, it doesn't really mean anything. Afterall, what did she really do with it? Did she excel in her field?

The answer is a resounding NO.

Great link above. They bought Merill Lynch and all their troubled assets when B of A was supposedly barely liquid and full of troubled assets as well. Then they get billions from the Fed at first to purchase troubled asstes, no, scratch that, its cash for liquidity.

Then they turn to the FEDS and say "We can only stomach a few billion dollars in losses acquired from Merill Lynch. You, FEDS must pick up all the rest of the bad assets and we aren't even sure what they are worth.

This is the reason they don't want to give you details on the bailout funds. Kind of embarrassing, but intentional none the less.

...in these so-called "bailouts" will be embarrassed. That is one of the main traits of a sociopathic personality - no freakin' conscience and no shame. And all of these folks seem to qualify...the corporate guys and the government guys.

not bail time.

That is what Nader said from the beginning.

Besides that, what I said from the beginning is put the distressed retail banks in receivership and nationalize them.

There would be plenty o' pain for the taxpayer but there at least could be transparency that way. Though with this crowd nothing is to be taken for granted.

The way they have done it ensures the pain will be much greater without transparency.

Very good point here in the thread about the Lions playing by the rules, unlike BUSHCO. I might have to add that in an update.

As a lifelong Lions fan and an almost as long Bush hater, show some respect to Bush.

Nobody's as bad as the Lions.

But no one died.
