you found George "the malaprop" Bush to be dignified. Fooled you once..shame on you. Also a minor correction; "The evidence is mounting that they simply don't care to think". FIFY

I'm surprised Thomas is married at all, considering his wife would probably have to deal with his sexist bullshit. So I'm guessing Virginia's a Stepford Wife. The FDA tackles misleading food labels. We're turning the corner on the Drug War. The Vatican continues to think it's a good idea to keep its priests celibate. States once again try to force Amazon to pay sales tax. Does the House have the votes to pass Obamacare? SSI is now gonna make less in tax revenue than it pays in benefits. Bad news for Murdoch about his plans for internet domination of the news. Maliki continues to be a loyal puppet.

Violent gang wars in the 20's were one driving force behind the repeal of prohibition.

History is repeating HerSelf.

When will we listen to Her?


When will government of the people, by the politicians, for the corporations perish from this Earth?

Not soon enough!

are the new protein sources for the urban masses. No problem killing fellow humans with .38s, .44s, etc, but try bringing a pellet gun to catch yourself dinner in the park, and off in cuffs you go.

BTW, grew up listening to Lehrer. Still sounds great today. Time for some geeks to start a revival for the guy...

for my own typos, let alone find fault in others at the moment.

And listening to 3-min clips of Lehrer are good for laughing in little bits w/o getting winded or getting a headache...

And I havent read any of today's threads yet. Hopefully tomorrow when I'm feeling better.

Is America this stupid already? Partisanship and Disinformation Surrounding Global Warming Taking their Toll - http://www.desmogblog.com/partisanship-and-di...
A new Gallup poll shows that compared to three years ago, twice as many Americans believe that global warming’s consequences are exaggerated. And in just the last year, there has been an increase in skepticism from 41% to 48%.
This concept of global temperature is key and not well understood by the lay person. Both the Colbert Report and the Daily Show ran segments spoofing people’s (and Fox News’s) inability to understand that just because it is cold and snowing in Washington, D.C. doesn’t mean that there aren’t record high temperatures in Australia or Southern Africa.
In fact, despite a snowy winter in the northeast, NASA reports that, globally, 2009 was the second warmest year since 1880. And despite 2008 being the coolest year of the decade due to a strong La Nina effect in the Pacific, the last decade was the warmest on record.
Damn...I thought we'd have a little more time before the Idiocracy would take over...

The Chamber of 'Commerce'/Fascism is leading the opposition to the health care bill with a coalition called 'Employers for a Healthy Economy' (LOL!). In two weeks, the group has bought more than $7 million in television advertising and plans to spend up to $3 million more.
'Americans for Prosperity'/Fascism, a (Big Oil front) group financed by David Koch (Bircher/psychopath), the oilman (pimp), is also jumping into the fray with an advertising campaign of nearly $1 million (pocket change for that bastard).

And RIP Peter Graves. Not the greatest actor perhaps, but he made quite a long-lived career.

Clarence Oveur in "Airplane" was one of his best roles.

ps, fastfeat, I hope you're feeling better today!

fastfeat's picture

Slooowly getting better. Trying to avoid having to go back to the clinic to change my meds; it's where I got sick in the first place.

And agreed about Airplane!, one of my ten or so favorite flicks of all-time.

No doubt about it, clinics and hospitals are dangerous to one's health!

When I explained that I got sick because I had been there 48 hrs earlier for another test, then said they should waive some of the fees because I got sick on their watch, they were not at all amused. And I wasn't joking.
