If you're obsessed with race it means something about race. If you're obsessed with anything else it means whatever it is you're obsessed with. I remember the same sentiment in 1992 after 12 long years of Reaganism.

You can never be too sure how those traitorous thugs will go.

To twitch for what is starting to smell like an angry mob intent on stuffing heads on pikes. I hope a bloody purge is the peaceful awakening of peace you had in mind. It sure sounds like it's headed that way.

Point being, Congress is a neutered beast. Has been for years. Whether the zealots you love replace the zealots you hate or not is almost besides the point.

Either they'll do nothing and kill air travel or they'll try something else and kill it. Either option is fine. I would like to see the end of air travel in the US except under the rarest of circumstances. Like steamship travel a hundred years ago. Stuff the mud people down in steerage while the passengers travel first class. And reduce passenger volumes by 90%. There is zero reason why we need 2000 planes in the air all the time. People should find other means to travel, if they can afford it. I was hoping for $10/gal gas so that Americans would no longer be able to drive as well.

We 'boomers' are too busy taking care of our parents AND our children. Our parents generation retired 25 years ago and will live to be about 95 taking every last dollar with them. And our kids seem to have redefined childhood all the way up nearly age 27. We 'boomers' won't be able to retire, unless you figure eating dogfood is an option. And with any luck, the slactastic generation will get married and dump their kids on us to rear because they're too lazy, indifferent or childish themselves.

So if you'll excuse me, I'll be going to that second job now, that one you look down your noses at. That one that's been paying your bills.

With neither Congressional debate nor permission. He just did it on his own consulting, essentially, no one. Congress had to fund it because the option was war with either Spain or France. In fact the era of "Jeffersonian" autocracy masquerading as 'limited government' parallels the rise of the John Marshall era of the Supreme court. Before Marshall the SC concerned itself with interstate commerce and contract law. But Marshall saw the threat of Jefferson's unbridled ego and made the SC a co-equal branch of the government for the first time.

Monroe, and ulitmately, Polk were the final expressions of 'Jeffersonian' thinking about expansion. Similar in tact they both essentially invented their own mandates and proceeded without consulting or worrying about Congress. They would be very proud of George Bush.

Oh you need not wait. My children's generation is a lot more self involved and ruthless than we are. If you don't serve their needs, you are kicked to the curb. I fully expect to drop in the harness under the lash of my younger overlords eventually.

In a rule of law that is awesome in its awesomeness, the Netherlands is moving to strip parental rights and to FORCE them to take birth control, from the mentally challenged or whatever they're called now - developmentally challenged?

The really charming part is the abstract way one is deemed 'unfit'. It's more or less whatever someone wants to call it.

And the Prop-8 gays were angry that we're stripping them of certain civil rights here? That's nothing compared to shiny happy forced sterilization.

Who I helped rear. But I really don't care what you think and I don't worry about it in the least. At least to the extent that I have to listen to it. Oh soon enough you'll be running things and the generations after you will want to snuff you out and tell you of their own heroism in doing so. And you won't really care what stupidity pours out of them either.

But you see 'boomers' have lived an entire life surrounded by too many others. We're way more brutally Darwinian than you ever will be. You've never had to. I think the rumors of our demise are exaggerated and will be so for a few more years to come.

What's that line from the Vorlon ambassador in Babylon 5?

"The avalanche has already begun. It is too late for the pebbles to vote."

If you're under 40, stop fucking complaining already and do better than we did.

Bite me.

Of course she used to compare him to Fidel Castro

Awesome in its craziness.

Cmon just look at the guy.

It will turn out that Rather was 100% correct and Bush was absolutely caught in a felony charge with his no-show ANG 'job' to avoid going to Nam. It will turn out that Rather will have proved his case that Bush was a draft dodger and Rove and company covered up this felony for political purposes. It will turn out that the shitheads re elected a coward and a criminal in 2004.

Of course by mid next year, Bush will be living in Abu Dhabi.

We do we still let Jews vote in America. I thought Obama would tackle that problem right away. Send them all packing with their little yellow stars toot-sweet. For the good of the party.

And then specifically deletes comments directed at the shallowness of some of the columnists. At least they're being upfront about what they believe.

The LAW doesn't say you can't RUN, anyway.

dirka dirka!!!

Movies about the Holocaust....which didn't happen.

Throw Joe down the Well.

Rahm Emmanuel secret traitorous Jew.

But to be fair, 72% of them voted for you so maybe they're really just retarded.
