Same thing Mao said

And sundry other heroes of the people. Ah well, just goes to show you what happens when you give leaders too much god like aura.

Awesome

Fight to the bitter end, Rod. Simply awesome. I bet when they impeach him they will fail too. It will be hysterical.

the power in the relationship shifts at age 25

women have most if not all of the power to age 25, then it starts to shift back.

IBM used to make guns

If you can get one they're very valuable.

Maryland and Ohio are the south now?

Toyota has factories there. Those dirty Japs. Next thing you know they'll bomb Pearl Harbor again, and side with the Confederacy.

Exterminate everyone who does not live in NYC and SanFran

Sorry but it's the only solution.

About a fifth of all Iraq fatalities are non combat related

Typically accidents, car accidents, natural causes. We need to boycott all companies that make cars. Well the companies that based in the eeeevul racist South at any rate. Yup.

Thursday, December 18, 2008 06:04 AM

compoooters are teh evul

Down with compooters.

Sorry I don't make the rules, I just carry them out.

Thank the fat baby Jayzus my Ford was built by that great racist and antisemite Henry Ford

Because you can't have national socialism w/o socialism.

By the by, dudes and dudettes, Chrysler is looking for a handout exactly equal to the amount of money Cerberus Partners paid for the company when they bought it from Daimler. Clearly they're looking to recoup their investment before they dump the company and it crashes and burns at which time, what? You bail it out again?

Perhaps we should simply add the car companies to the social security fund and we can billions into it every year, forever.

Original article: Obama checking in with exes

Carter is in Syria picking out a summer home.

He's been happily meeting (his words were 'thrilled') Hezbollah, the guys who murdered 241 American Marines in Lebanon. He's also been meeting with Hamas. Hamas admits to attacks that killed more than 75 American civilians. Not those eeeeeevull dual citizenship 'Joos' you love to hate. But bona fide 'real' Americans. About a third of them children.

Awesome. Now there's a hero of the people of America I could get behind.

When I was kid

We never came across the 99.87% of people who apparently have fatal allergies to nuts and 3 million other things too. It's amazing there are still people on the earth.

Yaaay Kill Whitey

the more the better.

Oh yes absolutely.

The poor child must be taken from the parents and put in the care of the State.

What unions should do

Is start their own pointless failing businesses. Like building steam engines or plows for horses. Then demand billions from the government in order to preserve jobs.

Original article: The economic Civil War

NC is THE most anti union state

And yet their unemployment rate, nearly 8% is substantially above the national average. hmmmmmmm

Thursday, December 18, 2008 08:24 AM

Clearly the only solution for America

Is to transfer power like all the other 3rd world countries. With tanks in the streets and executions. Whoever looses, dies. I am 100% behind that.

Original article: The economic Civil War

We should put them all under military occupation, tear up their state constitutions

Dissolve all their state governments, depose all elected officials. Disband all local and state police forces, and strip everyone of their civil rights as a conquered nation. Impose Martial Law & curfews. All violations will be met with lethal force.

Now Glenn Greenwald and his expose of US Army troops inside the US looks like a genius.

I predict Salon will call for Obama's impeachment before May 2009

Oh you know it's happening. It will be hilarious.

Thursday, December 18, 2008 09:11 AM

I believe Obama will be impeached

And the drive for it will come from the left. Of course Biden is really no better so he'll have to be handled too. Perhaps it's time for a revolutionary 'people's committee' a-la Cuba.

You mistake my pragmatism for humor

I wasn't kidding. I call for a military dictatorship, a kind of super-Viceroy over the South as an occupied nation.

You better hope no MacBooks are ever used in War

You would no longer have any reason to live.

He should be appointed co-President of Americaland

For infinity years.

Obama is the HyperJesus 2.0

So it stands to reason he needs a HyperJesus Preacher Man.

Thursday, December 18, 2008 11:34 AM

2009 is the year of one party rule

We need to criminalize all parties except the Democratic party and run the government as the party. One party states are generally better, more liberal, more prosperous, and the handle dissent more effectively.

The only proper and acceptable form of war is terrorism

Anything that's not terrorism should be banned. Any weapon that can't be carried or driven in a private sedan should be banned. ONLY suicide bombing for instance, or IED's should be legal.

In North Carolina the road privatization effort is going to explode

We're poised to privatize as many of the interstates as we can and turn them into toll roads. The stimulus for infrastructure is going to be a great jumpstart for that. Oh you wanted to drive on the roads you paid for? Well that's gonna cost you, big time. Such is progress.

Thursday, December 18, 2008 02:03 PM

In NC they turned DOWN $500 million as part of a package deal

Because it would require them to invest in light rail. No thanks ya commie bastids. So that's why the roads are falling apart.

But more to the point, road maintenance in the US is probably THE MOST corrupt endeavor ever. In my state the same sections of road are torn up and redone for decades. And guess what, those companies belong to the elected officials at the state level. I have a mile from my house the most expensive road (per mile) ever constructed in the US. Ever. I-540 in Wake Cty. At more than $30 million per mile you'd think there would be gold hovercraft and furlined guardrails.

Suffolk county (Long Island)

Only has about 200 distinct taxing entities. But it has 50% more population than Erie. It's entirely possible that Erie county has almost a thousand if there are fewer or no townships and tax authority is pushed down to every town, village and hamlet.

Remember people this IS NY State, which never saw a tax it didn't like.

Thursday, December 18, 2008 02:09 PM

Salon will call for the impeachment of the fascist dictator Obama

Around May of 2009. The Wingnauts will scream for Hugo Chavez to be awarded the Presidency of the US.

Thursday, December 18, 2008 09:51 PM

Please don't give any money to NC

They'll waste it on hiring eleventy million more cops.

Original article: Ask the pilot

Yes of course they will

Just like they have every prior year since before 911. Many conveniently forget that the airlines were angling for a multibillion dollar bailout BEFORE 911. And the 911 just piled more cash on top of that. And each subsequent they've asked for and received billions in direct and indirect aid.

Someone please tell Zoey Deschanel to stop watching her sister act

The character in Bones, is practically an alien with subzero social skills. That's not the way you're SUPPOSED to act, Zoey.

So which organ weighs 7 pounds?

Liver? Lung?

Original article: Disappointed by Rick Warren

Obama is his own deity

So you'd need to find a minister from the Apostolic Chapel of All Things Obamish.

It's not me, it's you

I'd rather have half my stuff than all of you.
