one stroke of the pen and he's turned this whole thing into a pissing contest by proxy between the US Senate, Jesse White and Roland Burris. I'm glad my cats aren't this clever, I'd be doomed.

Meanwhile, Reid does his best to ensure that the Democrats don't make any actual gains from the Nov. elections by refusing to seat both Franken and Burris. In the words of Jed Clampet, "pitiful, just pitiful..."

I think a recall provision would be a disaster in Illinois. Recall provisions have to be used responsibly and the politicians in Illinois are incapable of that. A recall intiative would become a standard strategy for any losing party in the Governor's race.

she wants to sell her image as a mainstream Republican.

attempts to keep her name in the news cycle. Years of this crap ahead.

Cheney?

short of money.

our true enemies "disappear" during the night. It sure-as-shit beats invading countries. The anarchy of "international law" requires any country that wants to survive to have the capabilities for "black ops". That goes for the US, France, Tongo, Netherlands, Lichtenstein, ect. The problem occurs when you write it into law and make it Standard Operating Procedure like former President Fucknut did. A return to the pre-9/11 status is ok by me.

that would cost 10x the price of a similar facility on dry land. Out of cultural spite.

the hyperbolic Ed Gensen, quit on him Friday. Gensen said that he's used to clients ignoring his advice, but Blago doesn't even listen.

should remember it was their fellow-Republican Ahnuld who lobbied for stricter laws governing the fuel economy of cars in California. Aren't recall elections great?

I came up with 2 endings for the last reel:

1. He is holding state troopers at bay by wildy thrashing at them with his desk name plate when they shoot him with a tranquilizer dart and thow a net on him.

2. He is holding state troopers at bay by wildy thrashing at them with his desk name plate when he falls backwards through the atrium of the Thompson Center and land 16 stories down in the food court.

but the impeachment proceedings are a travesty as well. The Illinois Senate didn't decide on the rules of procedure until it was obvious that they didn't have enough evidence to actually convict him of a crime.

For a long time I've believed that public servants should be held to a higher level of responsibility than the letter of the law, but this is no way to do it.

as their chance to get rid of that pesky middle class once and for all.

it leads to the development of new treatments and preventions that stimulate the health services sector which is one of the only strong aspects of our current economy.

If Blago's strategy was to try to influence the jury pool, his attorney, the notoriously shifty Ed Gensen, wouldn't have quit last Friday. I think Blago's just freewheeling it cause he doesn't see that he still has more to lose.

His media blitz provides the opportunity for him to make inadvertent admissions and inconsitent statements that can be used against him in a Federal Trial. Everytime Blago opens his mouth on the subject he is, in essence, testifying.

I also don't think we've seen an end to the indictments. Fitzgerald made the Obama seat controversy public because there was no keeping a lid on it. But he has also been talking to Rezko and his cronies and that may produce more indictments.

with his prosecution of Blago and his cronies. I'm sure Fitzgerald will even be interested in hearing what Blago has to say to save his own skin. Blago's has already intimated that he's willing to take everyone down with him. May get him a few years off his sentence and exact vengeance on a few legislators. And I'll say it again: more indictments on the way from Rezko's dealmaking.

Evil must be met with like Evil.

I recommend a thorough tax audit for the past 7 years for every executive of every firm that receives TARP funds.

I agree with you completely but injecting money seems to be the only tool left. The Repubs aren't putting any alternatives forward, just engaging in a pissing contest on the details. Yes, this is a crap shoot.

Accomplished!

gatos.

The Republican Party benefits from a nation of dumbfucks.

following Limbaugh's orders.

I'll take an honest pot-head over a lying drunk any day.

A timely point. 2 judges in Pennsylvania were indicted last week for wrongfully convicting minors and sending them to an institution in which they both had a secret ownership interest.

As for Sheriff Fancy Hairdoo in South Carolina, he's carrying over 30 unsolved homicides on his books.

Snoop Dogg and Tommy Chong were similarly contrite when they got busted. I'll bet the lesson he really learned is not to trust anyone outside his close circle of personal friends.

Remember kids:

The nail that sticks up gets hammered hardest.

wedding?

that he hoped Obama fails in expanding the size of Federal Government. He chose the words precisely and deliberately so the media would take the words "I hope he fails" and make an issue out of them. That way, he would get more negative attention and plenty of opportunity to correct people on what he really said as an opening to shoehorn in all of his arguments against Obama.

..and here we are. Mission Accomplished.

functioning so well.

that will desire access to President Obama over the next 4 years.

in the Democratic Primary.

I just stop my car at the state border, take my monkeys out and make them walk across the border themselves, then pick them up on the other side.

to attack Obama on this issue: States Rights.

them. Old white folks throwing away thier dignity like that in a desperate attempt to catch a train that has long since left the station. Pitiful, just pitiful.
