Lewis Black said it best: These morons watch the Flintstones and think they're watching a documentary!
(btw, how did (Just for Men-Grecian Formula)Adam and(Cher)Eve start out as Caucasians in the Middle East?? Can Darwin explain THAT????)
Patrick Smith's "conversation" with MassPort officials who run Logan Airport was suspicious right from the start. A return call presumes some element of courtesy and customer service, both of which long ago traveled west through the Callaghan Tunnel and haven't been seen since.
As usual, King's kontrariness gets the best of him with his prediction of a Red Sox defeat...it's already clear the Cleveland ace Sabathia is a whole degree less effective than Beckett and that the Fenway 3-4-5 punch is a significant and unmatched force. The bullpens don't match up well after inning 7... Not to mention Cleveland's losing 5 of 7 during the regular season. In other words, there was no credible reason for decisively favoring the Indians except King's feeling that he has to be different. Sox should win and if they don't, it's an upset. And then King will pick the NL winner over the indians, I am sure...and he'd be wrong again.
The Chicken Hawk right wing-nut faction of "crazies" will likely jump all over the General for this...That's good. It's better they pick on someone their own size than on kids without health insurance!
Well now we read that the Sox "closed the door", "swept" the Rocks, "dominated" the Series and are a potentially "dominant" franchise...Jeez, just a couple of weeks ago, King krazily predicted the Sox wouldn't survive the Indians (!!??)...now he's musing about the NBA...Sorry, King, stick to reporting what's happened.
Krazy King shows his anti-Boston bias again with this ridiculous "Coltes win" prediction...as with his bogus Red Sox predicted loss, the Krazy One has NO SUBSTANTIAL GROUNDS to predict anything but, at the very least, a "Pick Em", yet he goes overboard with his Kolts....in the present circumstances, a Kolts win is an upset no matter how you slice/dice it. And the Krazy one will keep on missing the mark...
Exactly what crisis, other than her personal family tragedy and its attendant political spillover, did she manage over the last 15 years...the Monica/impeachment fiasco hardly makes her qualified to answer that phone. And will she, or Bubba, be answering?? NO ONE is qualified for that job on DAY ONE unless they've already served in the office. The notion that she was in the White House watching the daily events and is therefore qualified to serve belittles the gravity of the office. Many an intern thinks the same thing.
If Big John wants the right wing then he has to suffer the Village Idiot...with this endorsement he's connected at the hip with a walking failure...this year's roses will be long gone but the endorsement will be offered as a fresh bouquet each and every day of the fall by Democrats who'll extoll the country with "If you're better off now than 8 years ago, you'll LOVE the Bush/McCain ticket in 2008!"...
Do better than these two...Joe Biden for one...Sen Webb for another, but Webb says "No"...Sen Jack Reed is a peach, but he's not nearly the "attack dog" that's needed...if BOH thinks he needs the Indiana electoral votes, he might spring for Evan Bayh and help himself with the Hillary crowd...Hagel is likely the new secretary of defense if BOH is successful...Kaine doesn't really bring much to the table IMHO...my money's on Biden...
The good Senator from AZ is the first to question the patriotism of those who disagree with his war views (the esteemed Baker-Hamilton Commission and about 65% of the population) while he consorts with a draft dodging traitor who knowingly outed a CIA agent...Mr. Rove should be on trial for treason, not chirping away on FOX...
Juan has touched the surface of this miasma...the Bush/Cheney hypocrisy of appeals to international law and order. What he doesn't delve into is the more cynical involvement of the US government on behalf of oil interests who pursued and financed a pipeline. 43's family buddy, C. Bowden Gray, was recently sent over as the Eurasian Oil Envoy (a recess appointment no less) to pursue such oil opportunities. Georgian "democracy" is a nice headline: read the fine print. If Putin and his oil lackeys financed a pipeline, say thru Mexico, to divert American oil to foreign ports William Randolph Hearst himself would rise from the dead and find another battleship to sink! Think about this. Oil interests are now hesitant to finance another regional pipeline: they say they have no "plan B". Really? If John McCain is elected, the oil interests will CONTINUE to dictate this madness...oil first, country second.
He definitely needs the foreign policy attack dog...delivering a state isn't as important at the moment. Biden will eviscerate McCain AND his VP nominee (pray to God it's draft dodger Leibermann), taking the lustre off his "heroic" accomplishment of dropping NAPALM on Vietnamese innocents (what did he expect if shot down, a garden party? they beat him up for bombing civilian neighborhoods!), dispelling the notion that his military experience as a bomber of "gooks" (his term) and self-admitted "war criminal" conduct qualifies McCain (nearly last in his class) for anything more than an invite to Annapolis reunions...Let the Hillary-ites ponder McCain's conduct against living Vietnamese innocents; then they can ponder his conduct against their reproductive rights as well as reminding people of the foreign policy "lightness of being" that Mr. $500 Italian Loafers brings to the debate. Biden will also be eminently qualified to take over if something were to happen to Barack. We'll not have Chicken Hawk pandering without vigorous responses...cannot wait for the next phase.
