a video of Obama being magically protected against witchcraft by an African holy man, who incidentally goes on to slur the Israelites. The republicans would have that on every channel 24 hours a day.
i assume she might have met lieberman by now, but as mayor of wasilla, governor of alaska, or member of her church i would imagine the number of jews she became familiar with was pretty low. black people, too.
it's that sexy burka. the way it emphasizes the pyramidal shape of the body. the way it's round on top, showing off the contours of the skull. Oh baby!
that in fact, it's Palin who's parodying them. She's a gimlet eyed political shark made of solid ambition, not somebody chosen for their talent or ability; and this wide-eyed "gee whillikers, God bless, I'm just a simple citizen with commomn sense" act is how she sees her base.
Look at it this way; it's a major improvement over having them grab a gun and make their own "justice".
i'm a maverick; follow me! hey, don't go too far in the direction i've pointed you in, follow me! I'm the maverick, not you! settle down and stay in line behind me, i'm a maverick!"
can you put lipstick on a wolf?
about crash. i didn't see the movie, but i did like the other one with james spader and all those folks. that would make an interesting series.
but this one seems to just go out of its way to piss off the viewer. if it weren't for Hopper it's be a total loss.
as another poster noted, when it comes to implementing a project, it just disappears. but meanwhile, the coal industry gets to move forward as our future source of energy. and tapping into our coal reserves will probably take the climate to the tipping point, because it's clear at this point that we're not going to badck off any source of energy, particularly one that's profitable.
petroleum, on the other hand, we've already written off; it's quite clear we're going to extract and burn every drop of petroleum there is, and any rational assessment of future climate takes that into account. fuel efficiency standards, etc. don't make a bit of difference, because the carbon dioxide stays in the atmosphere for about 5,000 years, so it doesn't make that much difference in the bigger picture whether we get it all up into the air in the next 10 years or the next 100.
but start relying on coal instead of starting with carbon-neutral energy, and we're screwed.
i was not only president of my junior high, but also prime minister in the high school junior parliament.
boy, you can never have too low an opinion of the republican brain trust. they'd have to climb a ladder to see the underside of a worm.
"Just ask if Obama would be where he is at if he were a white man. The answer is inevitable."
Yes. it depends on whether his family comes from the hereditary American peerage, like the current Resident.
military leaders who have come out for Obama (that i know about):
Brigadier General Larry Gillespie
Major General Scott Gration (USAF-Ret)
Admiral Don Guter
Brigadier General David “Dave” McGinnis
General Merrill “Tony” McPeak
Admiral John B. Nathman
Major General Hugh Robinson
Brigadier General James Smith
Admiral Robert “Willie” Williamson (USN-Ret Rear Admiral)
Major General Ralph Wooten
It must be that they're all black, why else would Limbaugh say it's all about race for Powell?
i meant military. it's all those military warmongers who are lining up for obama, not just Powell:
Brigadier General Larry Gillespie
Major General Scott Gration (USAF-Ret)
Admiral Don Guter
Brigadier General David “Dave” McGinnis
General Merrill “Tony” McPeak
Admiral John B. Nathman
Major General Hugh Robinson
Brigadier General James Smith
Admiral Robert “Willie” Williamson (USN-Ret Rear Admiral)
Major General Ralph Wooten
remember, a vote for McCain is a vote to continue the Republican's 8 year destruction of America's military, and thereby end imperial America.
that could be the new name for Alaska when the Palins head its secession; Vulgaria!
torture. guantanamo. abu ghraib. extraordinary rendition. highest level endorsement of war crimes and violations of human rights. forced confessions. beating deaths of prisoners.
disappointing, isn't it?
too bad the Usual Self-Proclaimed Righteous Christians don't generally come here, other than extreme nutbars, because I'd like to hear how it is that they believe their Just Lord will protect them from divine retribution? how they could reconcile the Biblical destruction of so many unjust nations with a faith that God will pull us out of the current social/financial/civic disaster?
normally i wouldn't be disappointed in a republican ignoring the matter, but a person can still hope that mccain would have a bit more integrity in the matter. i know better, but somebody might still have illusions. but obama and the democrats' obvious decision to not address the screaming evidence of the complete amorality of the administration they are trying to replace is sad. understandable, in that half the voters obviously share that complete amorality, but sad.
and ironic, in juxtaposition with the review of the usual Stephen King apocalyptic work, on the same page.
the rightwing's way beyond satire at this point.
"It appears that the image is actually originally the product of a Democrat, Tim Kastelein, who says he intended it to poke fun at conservative pundits afraid of Obama."
