Hey, rupert, I have some nice beachfront property in Arizona to sell you. Be sure to take your meds before coming to the closing, though.

Hey, how's my favorite Chair Force Paper Pusher?

One problem with your analysis: Some people just can't be negotiated with. Yeah, they may talk you to death, but it's just to buy time.

Wake up and smell the real world.

... I love the smell of JP-5 in the morning! It smells like ... victory!

On a lighter note, we "negotiated" with Saddam for 12 years. He jerked us and the UN around, defied one UN resolution after another.

Kim-Moonbat-Il in North Korea jerked around Jimmy Carter and Bill Clinton, made all sorts of promises, and still built nukes.

President I'm-a-Moonbat of Iran has jerked around the EU for something like 5 or 6 years and just boasted that they're adding something like 3,000 more centrifuges to their "peaceful" nuke program.

And Yasser Arafat jerked around Bill Clinton and didn't keep a single promise he made at Camp David. Not one!

So tell me, how well does the whole "negotiating" think work?

Yeah, I'm the same Hornet Driver. I just couldn't remember the darn password I'd given first time I logged in (as two words "Hornet Driver"), so I re-signed up and used HornetDriver (one word).

Oh, and rupert_c, check out what a Hornet Driver does for a living before you ask stupid questions.

Been away for awhile, but, wow, the idiocy has really been dialed up lately.

Does a subscription to Salon get you free deliveries of insanity water, or what? I'll stick with the free pass, thank you.

You can post or "google" a million f'ing links of the same Obama speech and you will never find the words "invade Pakistan" transcribed as having come out of Obama's mouth.

Democratic presidential candidate Barack Obama issued a pointed warning yesterday to Pakistani President Pervez Musharraf, saying that as president he would be prepared to order U.S. troops into that country unilaterally if it failed to act on its own against Islamic extremists. ... "When I am president, we will wage the war that has to be won," he told an audience at the Woodrow Wilson Center in the District. He added, "The first step must be to get off the wrong battlefield in Iraq and take the fight to the terrorists in Afghanistan and Pakistan."

I know you're just so in love with Obama, but you can deny reality for only so long, Kitt. Your man is a big-talking empty suit, and the MSM kissed his ass for six months, so you have nothing to complain about now that they suddenly realize he's not the saint they think he is.

Oh, and Glenn? Stick to pissing in your pants. You can't do the humor thing.

Barack Obama, a leading Democrat candidate in the US presidential race, provoked anger yesterday by threatening to send troops into Pakistan to hunt down terrorists — even without permission from that country’s Government. ... “There are terrorists holed up in those mountains who murdered 3,000 Americans. They are plotting to strike again . . . If we have actionable intelligence about high-value terrorist targets and President Musharraf won’t act, we will" ... Obama said that as commander in chief he would remove troops from Iraq and putting them "on the right battlefield in Afghanistan and Pakistan."

The Florida ballots were rigged against Gore. Ever see what they actually looked like? I did. Buchanan's name was where Gore's would have been in any other state.

The republican party knew that the majority of voters in certain districts were too old and too blind to make out a complicated ballot (such as the punchhole ballots were). They put Buchanan's name where Gore's would normally have been. That was how the republicans really stole the election.

Ha! What an idiot! That was Palm Beach County, a Democratic county that Gore won. The ballot was designed by a Democrat, Theresa LaPore. The entire election board that approved it were Democrats.

After the election a local TV station showed the ballot to fifth graders. They easily figured it out.

It's no one's fault that some people are idiots, but perhaps we'll make an exception in your case, "fightthetheocracy"!

As Bugs used to say, "What a maroon!"

President Obama should abolish the electoral college.

-- Baloo.

Um, it's in the Constitution, numbnuts. It'll take a constitutional amendment, meaning a majority of states need to approve, which will never happen.

Time to grow a brain.

I have a colleague who swears he encountered Baker in an airport mensroom about two years into the Bush presidency and asked him if he considered Bush to have been lucky in Florida. He claims Baker said "it wasn't luck; we stole it", washed his hands and left. So it goes.

And I have a colleague who swears he got in a dogfight with a UFO. His name's Will Smith, he flies with VMFA-314 (Black Knights), and in fact he has a movie to prove it. I saw it over the Fourth of July weekend a few years ago.

Amazing! Who'd a thunk it!
