@rockbalboa

I agree with you. Your buddy Rush is not the leader of the Republican Party, just the face and the mouth. Too bad for you most people can't tell the difference.

This is the best Kasimir Pulaski Day

The bottom line is that the Republican Party

has been hijacked by a blowhard who believes that there is no such thing as bad publicity. Let me know how that works out.

Original article: Everybody must get stoned

We live in a society where I can walk into a liquor store,

buy a bottle of grain alcohol and literally drink myself to death in 2 hrs and it is PERFECTLY LEGAL.

Original article: Quote of the day

Rush is gonna be the gift that

keeps on giving. At least until an angry Republican puts a bullet in him for the good of the party.

@-- ginsushark

Maybe we should start with the social and health effects of tobacco and alcohol? How about the social effects of having the highest prison population in the world and the highest percentage of our population in prison?

"Rush Limbaugh runs the Republican Party"

It's a succint phrase that is easy to remember and repeat, ad infinitum, until it becomes as accepted as "the Sun rises in the East."

Original article: The Republicans strike back

Actually, Limbaugh's ratings are slipping

so he's doing his best to attract attention to himself. Limbaugh's humping the Republican Party for his own person profit. How Republican of him.

@notorbitboy

No problemo. Yes, we're making Rush the center of attention and a lot richer, completely at the expense of the Republican Party. Ya see, the plan is to leave Rush wealthy beyond his wildest dreams and the Republican Party in smoldering ashes.

Well, we made a bunch of "crazy promises" to the Afghan people

back in 2001. The official message from the United States Government was "We will never abandon you again." From an international relations standpoint, abandoning the Afghanees is about as toxic as invading Iraq.

We are in Afghanistan under a UN mandate and it would be in our best interest to extend that mandate so we can share the burden. For whoever thought that Somolia and Yemen are worse than Afghanistan here's the average life expectancy stats:

Afghanistan 44 (it was actually 46 when we invaded)

Somolia 57

Yemen 69

Tuesday, March 10, 2009 01:13 PM

@-- farragut

Your president Bush effectively surrendered Afghanistan in October 2001 when he allowed the ISI to fly the Taliban Commanders out of Tora Bora to safetey because he was too cowardly to finish them off. We're in the process of cleaning up the shitty mess Bush created through his egregious incompetence.

@FarmerTed

Where I work, if the company is not profitable, nobody gets a bonus. In my view, if an unprofitable company gives out bonuses, they are simply screwing their shareholders. Therefore, I firmly believe that nobody at AIG is entitled to a bonus.

Original article: Finale wrap-up: "Big Love"

"This is just a foretaste of what eternity will be like!"

A great scene where Barb learns that her sister is responsible for getting her exiled from the LDS Church and the whole thing ends in a wreck of tears. Couldn't help but think the about unhappy truths you may uncover when you reach the White Man's Heaven of Western Religions. Maybe not the eternal bliss you were counting on. BTW "Your 15 minutes are up"

Just like many of us,

he gambled and lost. He should take comfort in knowing that there have to be Losers in order for there to be Winners. Life is unfair that way and freedom is, of course, untidy.

The next logical step is to close down whatever natural history museums exist in Texas. Hell Yeah! Git-R-Dun!

I don't expect Obama to touch the laws on the Federal Level,

at least during his first term, if at all. This does not mean that he won't tolerate states acting in their own interest as far as drug policy is concerned. I believe the key to this issue is States Rights.

Thursday, March 26, 2009 10:24 AM

I haven't heard or read any statement by

Obama saying that marijuana is "mbad". He simply said that legalizing mj is not a good *strategy* for economic recovery. And I agree with that statement because *strategy* implies that it is the fundamental principal of your effort.

Or to put it another way, it is the equivalent of declaring "economic recovery will achieved by legalizing marijuana". Now that still leaves open the potential for using legalized mj as a *tactic* in the overall *strategy* of economic recovery. Baby steps, 1 state at a time.

Thursday, March 26, 2009 10:29 AM

@RD

Legalizing weed, which I favor %100, will not prevent the Mexican Cartels from warring over the cocaine and heroin trade. My guess is that these are their big-margin items anyway.

Thursday, March 26, 2009 11:28 AM

The Laugh

Ya know, the possibility exists that Obama's laugh may have been a reaction to the fact that he is asked about legalizing mj 10 times a day.

Thursday, March 26, 2009 01:59 PM

It's about as well though out

as their post-invasion plan for Iraq.

Thursday, March 26, 2009 02:00 PM

That's

thought, not though.

There are 3 organizations in region

who are united in an effort to bring as much destructive force against the civilian population of the US as they can possibly achieve. Al Qeada, Taliban & the ISI. The ISI potentially have access to Pakistan's nuclear arsenal. No amount of "policing" is going to contain this threat.

This is the price we are pay for having an embicile and a sociopath for leaders for the past 8 years.

America's problem is the combination

of greed, naricissism and guns. Hunters should be able to transport their firearms in checked luggage on Amtrak, just the same way they do on planes.

Monday, April 6, 2009 09:41 AM

What can't be disputed is that,

when it comes to assault weapons, all of these supposed "Law & Order Conservatives" simply spit in the faces of all of the major Police fraternal organizations who wish to see them banned.

a whole 5 months so he really knows alot about the history of "Salonistas".

colleges and football teams.

Thursday, April 9, 2009 02:49 PM

Yup, Taliban, Al Qeada and ISI

want nothing more than to deliver a nuclear device, courtesy of Pakistan/ISI, to American soil.

It's all part of the Republican's new

"There's No Such Thing As Bad Publicity" approach. The actions of Coleman and Bauman gaurantee a permanent Republican majority in Minnesota for all time.
