A stopped watch is right twice a day . . .

Cheney on the other hand, is a watch that is still ticking, albeit with the aid of a pacemaker/defibrillator - so you can't even guarantee he'll be right twice a day.

Considering the platitudinous processed chicken crap the Vice-President was shovelling in Baghdad today:

Iraq remains a dangerous place . . . Iraq’s leaders seem to have a better sense now that they need to do more to reconcile sectarian and political differences . . . I think they recognize it’s in their interests as well as ours to make progress on the political front. . . They do believe we are making progress but we have a long way to go . . .

the fat former draft-dodging, drunk-driving, flaming-baton-dousing, serial-lying, errant-shotgunning, cowardly swine seems to be conducting business as usual.

Original article: Who made the list?

He'd rather the world think him a total fucking moron than tell the truth.

If the Senate or House wants the truth out of this bird, they need to hire a couple of interviewers from Blackwater Security, then bring in an 80 amp Diehard and jumper cables.

Yessirree - Dick puts the Casual in Casualty!

And when the pacemaker/defibrillator currently animating his adipose hulking carcass, and he shuffles off his mortal coil and stands before the throne of God to receive his judgment - I hope he recalls not wanting to be popular.

When Dick gets placed in his final resting place, they better have good security, because I fully intend to be one of the first to shit upon his grave.

His "weakness" is he's a clueless assclown.

On else flows from that simple yet undeniable fact. And proof positive of the assertion may be easily accessed at

No one with any editorial self-awareness or internal perception of self would lick a freakin' comb - and not just A comb - this was someone else's comb - one Kevin Kellems - recently deposed assistant at the World Bank and forever to be known as the Keeper of the Comb.

It's bad enough that as a disciple of Leo Strauss's execrable school of thought Wolfie learned to be an arrogant and, in the final analysis, pathetic thinker - but that does not excuse the unthinkable act of licking the freakin' comb. That is disgusting - and an overt sign of a sick mind.

Original article: Cheney plays the blame game

So, Dick, when the War Crimes & Crimes Against Humanity trials are over, and you step onto the gallows, your last words will be:

a responsible public official has to accept the responsibility for the consequences of what they recommend.

Jesus, I cannot wait for this loathesome scumbag to succumb to the Grim Reaper.

Original article: Frustrated

Somebody better tell McCain what Mitch just said . . . cause Madman McCain don't care how many Iraqis vote for us to leave . . . we're staying.

It's kinda interesting, cause the GOP seems to be fractionalizing into the Warpublicans and the Wimpublicans -- and we'll have to wait to see who emerges.

Original article: The hospital room showdown

SMOKING GUN!!

TITLE 50 > CHAPTER 36 > SUBCHAPTER I > § 1809 says

A person is guilty of an offense if he intentionally—

(1) engages in electronic surveillance under color of law except as authorized by statute; . . . An offense described in this section is punishable by a fine of not more than $10,000 or imprisonment for not more than five years, or both.

We now have the sworn testimony of the former Deputy Attorney General of the United States of America (at the time the acting AG) that the Bush Administration conducted illegal uncertified warrantless wiretapping. Each wiretap is a separate count with punishment of up to 5 years in prison and $10k fine.

Ahem: Can we spell h-i-g-h c-r-i-m-e-s????

Just about the response one would expect from a chickenshit ex-cheerleader

if Bush were anywhere close to being a man - he's admit it and ask what the fuck are we gonna do about it?

Original article: Edwards' insensitive move

Clintonian thinking at its worst.

Don't rock the boat. Don't be too edgy. We like that centrist DLC position.

Bullshit. What better day to bring this home than Decoration Day (as we used to call it afore they changed it to the more homogenized Memorial Day).

The Decoration Day parade used to end at the cemetry, where wreaths would be laid. Respectful demonstration to end George Bush's vanity war is entirely appropriate.

Original article: This Modern World

Ronald Reagan, who failed to recognize his own son at his son's high school graduation . . .

is the perfect avatar of Alzheimered conservatism.

The story goes Michael Reagan - who has been at boarding school - walked up to his father at the graduation ceremony and Ronnie shook hands with him, asking: And what's your name, son?

In the current administration, we have the same faulty memories and inability to distinguish between right, wrong and the doorknob, but without even the excuse of organic pathology.

In the Bush Adminsitration, they're just plain dumb mutha-fa's.

Original article: King Kaufman's Sports Daily

Bullshit. Kaufmann knows jackshit about basketball

cause if he did know the game - he'd understand that LeBron controlled that game throughout. No - he didn't score much; no, he didn't look flashy; Yes - he involved the entire Cleveland team, and if Marshall makes the open 3 - the Cavs steal the first game and only have to hold serve to win the series, ya idiot.

LeBron put the Cavs in position to win that game. Ok - maybe he should have taken the layup - but keep in mind the officials had been letting the Pistons hack away at him - the basket was not certain by any means - and the pass to Marshall gave the Cavs a chance to WIN - as oppose to put them in OT.

I recall a playoff game when Bill Russell only scored 2 points - but those 40 rebounds looked pretty good.
