For some reason I always liked the word seminal.

Makes me think of seaman with britches filled with semen.

Not that I'm into that sort of thing.

But it's all good people!

In the Navy!!!!

Also include the women. Which always makes me giggle - but is supposed to be undiscriminating. And thanks for the link!

Can someone tell Condi it's all over. Saw her on TV tonight rambling on and it sounds like she's not ready to leave. What was her legacy anyway? Did anyone ever actually listen to her?

People do the opposite of what kindanasty rice says.

Remember how boosh was going to bring peace to the Middle-East before leaving?

her Arab ass-kicking leather boots. She's gonna need'em.

I think Hillary will have the Arabs licking her boots

"What was her legacy anyway? " Being Cheney and Rumsfeld's punk.

I think over at Kos they said it best:

"Remember when Condi was Secretary of State? Me neither."

Condi, another unqualified Bush crony, was a Russian "expert" in cold warriorship put in charge of national security in a new era of international terrorism. No wonder 911 happened on her watch. I would be like putting an expert in the use of an abacus in charge of Microsoft.

Isn't that the plural of Condum? Says it all, doesn't it?

W. comes clean - on his dad, Condi's farts and the time Dick waterboarded the house boy

I posted this comment there.

You sure are reasonable with somebody else's ability to organize for justice and fairness...Wouldn't want to CHANGE the balance of power any at all, would we? Wouldn't be "prudent."

Gotta LUV such flexibility. Is this an instance of soi-desant "post-partisanship?"

I call it shoving a feces-encrusted thumb in the eye of your most loyal and expectant (and I don't mean me) constituency.

What make anyone think that if Obama/Dims cannot get this through with the political capital tey now possess, they will be able to do so later with inevitably LESS political capital to expend? This is a cave-in, pure and simple.

That I am not surprised does not mean that I cannot still be outraged.

I gotta say, that cavalier attitude about the rights of workers just about makes me fuukin CRAZY!~

Heres the reality of White Phosphorous at ground level.

safe for work photo, just mind numbingly horrific in its terror.

A WP shell exploding and coming down on a UN building (school) in Gaza.
The Photographer was 100 feet away from the epicenter, people are running for their lives.

This is why WP is banned as a weapon for use against humans, both military and civilian, and only allowed as a smoke screen generating device in open non populated areas.

Why Republicans throw a hissy fit over Mark Rich. He didn't do anything that Reagan didn't do, so what's so bad about pardoning him?
