Proper Action

Congress should haul that piece of work before the Intelligence Committeee and waterboard him until he tells them what they want to hear. Put that Al Qaeda fellow they got to admit to doing things that happened after he was caught in charge of the bucket.

Put it on pay per view and use the profits to lower our taxes.

Original article: The return of Larry Craig?

I'm confused.

Are they kicking him out of the Senate becuase he IS gay or are they kicking him out of the Senate because he ISN'T gay?

Getting ot the votes for Thompson

Getting ot the votes for Thompson is the primary goal of both Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama so that corporate American can bask in the glow of Ronald Reagan Redux, an actor who will front for them and tell the morons what they want to hear.

When Lockheed Martin starts making swords, that option will be fully explored. The swords, of course, will be state of the art with gps, night vision, stealth technology, and teflon coated replacement blades and each combat sword unit will cost the us taxpayer, 73,523 dollars. Training, shipping and documentation are extra charges.

Original article: Baby's first lead

yeah, blame walmart.

Walmart wnat to pay less so they could charge a little less and make a lot more profit plus it is nice to have products that everyone has to replace often becuase they are low quality and that makes for even more profits.

Close down American plants, ship it the manufacturing tools and know how to China and let them take the jobs that once were American's. Sell us cheap products with no regard for safety or reliability.

What is more important, profits or people?

The answer is psychopathic.

What Democrats?

Nobody in Congress but Republicans and that Kucinich guy.

Oh yeah, that Ron Paul guy, but he is a libertarian.

Clinton was one of the better republican presidents that we have had lately.

So what?

She is filthy stinking rich and has done nothing to hone her "craft" and just does whatw her professionals tell her to do. Yes, she was led to the slaughter like a lamb and Sarah Silverman was the headsman and WHACK - the public loves it because the media has taught them to be mean and hateful ever since Norman Lear "Family" shows. Survivor, all the other eality shows, American Idol and America's Got Talent thrive on the entertainment value of morons being entertained by people being humiliated, thrown off, made fools of and laughed at.

Britney should learn an instrument and start making music for herself rather than fit the soulless and heartless mold of disney and hollyweird, but why should she? She already is filthy stinking rich and that is more than 98 % of those who deride her will ever have. That is all that counts in America anyway.

It's a soap opera about highschool.

Original article: Fox muzzles Sally Field

Fair and Balanced

I am certain that Fox Television will also censor scenes of brutal torture and gunshots to the head in the new season of "24" because that would be "Fair and Balanced".

Original article: Breaking the Iraq stalemate

It's about the money, nothing else.

It's about the money, nothing else. As long as the defense industry and related "contractors" have tax dollars filling their coffers nothing will change. The only motive for drawing down troop levels in Iraq is to ready us for an attack on Iran. "All war, all the time" that is what Americans elected and that is what Americans are going to get.

It isn't like they have a choice in the matter. Both parties are war parties.

Original article: The Mormons are coming

made up religions

just another made up religion to con and fleece followers and replicate itself through programming extreme mental illness.

at least for this one we know who the con artist - liar is, just like scientology.

jesus was made up and so was moses (ramoses). there is no evidence that either one of them existed so i guess that mormonism and scientology have more cred which when it comes to religions is a "special case".

it is all about brainwashing and conning and gettings someone to accept a blatant bald faced lie as a "truth" and you call that faith. then you can get people to do anything.

there is good that comes from this, but there is also plenty of evil too. look at the current war mongers who use phony religions to sell real war and justify some real evil behaviors. curiously, the three "major" religions "invovled" are all branches evolved out of one pieced together and forged from egyptian and babylonian origins.

all in all, mormonism and scientology have a lot cleaner rap sheet, but nobody tops the mormons for underwear.

we should all look forward to the church of elvis real soon.

are you ready to die for elvis? are you ready to kill for elvis? praise be to elvis. at least he was a real guy.
