John Q. Public.

Thanks for taking-up for John, Glenn.

I figure Mr/Mrs. John Q. Public will know the truth when (IF) they see it. It's difficult to have any confidence in your Gov. when most of what you hear from them is lies, damned lies and vectored psy-ops (ie. pentagon statistics).

(*The Mostly Major Media, not to put to fine a point on it, don't know their a** from a hole in the ground. More like Comedy, to put it nicely.)

While it's true there's not much the Bush Adm. could do, anymore, would surprize me, Glenn, I am utterly dismayed by the loyal opposition: the dang Democrats. Whoever is running that circus show are rats... but that would impune(sp?) upon the rats. They are worse than the Bush Adm. because they say so convincingly they are voices for reason, fairness and Honesty in gov., but Do nothing to stop (& they are the only ones who Can) the propaganda and Dishonesty in plain view to all.

I like to know who I'm punching at.

john q,

bah.

ps. Happy Mothers Day.

+bop. I don't know any Soothsayers. I do know Yeller Hammer Hobbs?

bop, bop, fizz, fizz, o what a relief it is. :)

Howdy do bop. Do you have any idea what Rowan Berkley wants to talk about? There is a fine line between Vonnegut and Mark Twain for goodness sakes. Heavens to betsy.

I hope Pedinska's garden grows luxuriantly (Also, I hope Richard has recovered his footing, so to speak, and is sound of hoof again. I mean't no offense about the Creation Museum tour... I lied - Also, my average bowling score is Not 300. another lie, and I apologize.).

For Wendell and bop and the blessed rain; 'O men! if ye doubt as to the resurrection ...thou hast seen the earth dried up and barren: but when We send down the rain upon it, it stirreth and swelleth, and groweth every kind of luxuriant herb.' (Quran, 22:5)

regards,

bah.

For richer... or for poorer.

...' a richer set of understandings.' WTF is that. Suffering succortash.

"Until that expectation is altered, the behavior will continue unchanged." Amen, Glenn. You keep at it.

I'm vectoring out of here (plus, practicing my military jargon too.)

10/4,

Finding Obama guilty of insufficient devotion to Israel.

Well, I guess that means Obama can't be the Messiah. ...i told you so, Glenn.

Personally, I'm still hoping the rapture will come and deliver us all from ...bush and cheney.

full gospel fellowship,

bah.

@luttwak.

I don't know the fellow, quickdraw, but I am almost sure you can't get oil out of the ground with an airplane. Not even the stealthy ones.

@Quickstrategy.

>"Maybe we could re-engineer the boom on some KC-10s, put a drill on the end. RMP?"

Yes. That would be an improvement over our current methods. Let's talk it over w/ RMP.

cc: rove, military analysts, etc.

~ William! wb. You must have travelled many farsakhs, my fine feathered friend, parched and weary. Lasciate ogni speranze!

Fear ye not, enter here and abandon all your worries by the doorside. Yea, drink deep from the well-spring of optimism and cling ye to the robe of hope. (ie. Literally, take your shoes and relax.)

@RWA's sneaking up on "baaa".

Yikes. Not dang likely. I've shot people for less than that.

Good luck with the marriage ruling and everything. I tried married, but it didn't take. '...cotton-eyed joe, cotton-eyed joe, should have been married a long time ago.' It's a free country.

I've got to run. My neighbor is screaming at me that Obama is nothing but a mussle natzi apleaser! ... this could take a while.

i do,

bah.

~ @William's "what"? Well, a certain proclivity with the heredity would be my best guess too, William.

Suewee.

WTF.

Somebody get my gun. [*Cocktailhag took it away from me after reading this w/ a jug of moonshine cocktails... and a sliver of sweet potatoe pie. Probably a good thing, too.]

I swear. What is wrong with these people, Glenn? I wonder the Hills trying to set the record straight (ie. correct) while Ms. Parker and the Washington Post cut my legs off. (btw, Ms. Parker in the Hills it's pronoucned musslem'.) Well, Ms. Parker/Washington Post; I wouldn't give you'all the steam off my piss if you was dying of thirst in the desert. Most of my kinfolk didn't get no/nada/zip education, a**h***'*, what's your excuse??? Just mean, nasty and dumb?

I bet you're afraid to wear jewelry, too.

suewee,

bah.

@Responsibility.

I would agree, William. There will be government, in any case. Let us hope the other side of what has proven so poor a government would have to be, if only in order of degree, a mo better government. Should we be so fortunate.

The duties of those whom '...have freely and conscientiously elected as their representatives are no less vital and binding than the obligations of those who have chosen them. ... They should approach their task with extreme humility, and endeavour, by their open-mindedness, their high sense of justice and duty, their candour, their modesty, their entire devotion to the welfare and interests'... of humanity.

'... They should, within the limits of wise discretion, take the [electorate] into their confidence, acquaint them with their plans, share with them their problems and anxieties, and seek their advice and counsel'.

good day sir,

bah.

Mo better evil.

ps. I think he's onto us, William, et. el.

Yes, it's Obama's war now

An uninspiring speech sells a dubious policy, but progressives who feel betrayed have only themselves to blame
