Paul Daniel Ash

Well, to be frank, it's the "III" thing.

He just hasn't hit MY radar screen and I guess that's why.

No "GEN-YOU-WINE" country-wastern chart-topper is going to sport a moniker like "III".

I just ain't right.

Now if it was Hank Williams the THURD... I could feel comfortable with that.

But "III" - That just sounds to "Up-east" to me. Like he's headed to Harvard or something like that.

Even something like "Little Hank" or even "Peanut" or "Chick" or something like that.

But "III' - nope, that's ALMOST as bad as "Trey"........

His one redeeming value: He has a nice tattoo of Unknown Hinson, and if you don't know about Unknown, then you don't know sh*t..... He's on YouTube, enjoy, YOU'RE WELCOME!

KITT

I'm not sure what I'm getting at either, except closer to the bottom of the glass! LOL.....

I'm just ranting, I guess. This is my favorite place to do it, because I feel I'm in good company......

I guess I "fired-off" when I saw the word "Hank" because "Junior" and "Joe the Plumber" and EVERYONE ELSE who supported McCain and Palin really just pissed-me right off.

That's why I want to ship them all off to Alaska.

Junior can be the Most Grandest Minister of (sub) Culture. Hey - it don't take too long before he can be looking all-Neanderthaloid...... ("Hirsuteley-correct pre-historic visual identity)

Oh, and Kitt

Thank you, but I did correct myself before you prompted me.

But you are SO SO right. For all I know the "Old Man" might have been a kook too, but at least HE had talent......

Boy it really pissed us off to see that big dumb monkey up there singing that bullshit I must confess to wondering if when he came to the door, Sarah answered wearing only a towel! (WHAT A CONCEPT!).........

Hey Kitt

F*** Hank. He is OFF of my list of people I'll do at Karaoke.

FOR EVER.

However, I would suggest that before you erase him from your memory bank, go to YouTube and check out "Why Can't We all Get A Long Neck"......

Which was at least somewhat pretty much "librul" thankin.........

Republic of Alaska

No. I say send them to Alaska. Screw the notion of bipartisanship. It will never work with these ignorant sows. Give them Alaska. Pack them up and ship them out. Let's find a way to get it done.

Sort of a mandatory AMERICA LOVE IT OR LEAVE IT no options program. GIVE THEM ALASKA. They will never be happy, even as their numbers dwindle. The problem is, we don't have enough time (or patience) to tolerate them any more, or to wait for them to self-destruct. (And they want to take the rest of us down with them.)......

Let's come up with some sort of program that will allow us to forcibly to remove "THEM" from the "lower 48" and pack their asses off to Alaska. We'll allow them to secede and become their own sovereign nation. They can elect (appoint, decree, whatever) Sarah as QUEEN for life, or proclaim that NEWT is "His Most Serene Exalted Emir" or whatever the hell their stupid f***ing selves want to do.......

They can have the oil, the timber, the minerals, ALL OF IT.

JUST GET THE HELL OUT OF HERE.

Whatever it takes, JUST GET THE HELL OUT.

Obama

Personally, I think that he is "just". I think that suffering injustice (at whatever level), leads to this condition.

I have a deep respect for Habeas, because I have been arrested and detained without charge of explanation. I've asked for my "phone call" and been denied.

Trust me when I tell you that there is no worse feeling than having a cell door slammed behind you and you realize that know one knows where you are, that you have, in fact, "disappeared". (Twice in the U.S., once in Mexico....)

I have a "gut feeling" that Obama is a GOOD man. Things may not be perfect, but I am confident that they will be BETTER.

After the past eight years I can settle for that.

MONSTER POLITENESS

One of the most "chilling" examples of this that I can recall, and I was SO aware of it as it transpired, was the Veep "debate" between Cheney and Edwards. There was the obviously insane madman, as cool and calculating as a respected professor, laying out his agenda in calming and soothing tones, masking the fact that tens of thousands have died because of decisions that HE made.

He should face the same fate as Saddam.

Unfinished Business - Murder in Lebanon

Great job, Glenn, as always.

One bit of unfinished business, one that I hope some qualified person will investigate and expose the truth: During the most recent Israeli bombing of Lebanon, there was an outpost of U.N. Peacekeepers, that pleaded, for hours, for a break in the bombardment so they could get to safety.

Those pleas were ignored.

As a result, they were all murdered (my word, my opinion).

Can we not raise this issue to the level that someone, anyone, who is interested in the truth can investigate it and tell us what happened and who is responsible.

I have this notion that it was a deliberate neocon aggression against the U.N.

Glenn, can you help raise this incident to a level that someone might notice and have a closer look?

This case screams out for justice.
