How many crimes can Bush commit before he's removed?

He's made Nixon look like a beloved statesman. The mountain of crimes and misdeeds is so large that's is becoming difficult to keep track of all of them. And the best that Congress has come up with is a motion to "censure" him..? As if he'd kicked a puppy??

Can us plebs file a motion or lawsuit to force our alleged representatives to take action?

1. Get the FUCK out of Iraq

2. Thoroughly investigate 9/11/01 -- the official story is CRAP

3. Examine the 2004 Diebold e-voting scam -- how is it that virtually no one sees this as a dire threat to what passes for democracy..?

Are you all on Disney chemicals? Are you all asleep?

Original article: I Like to Watch

Anti-hippie sentiment every bit as evil as anti-Semitism.

Inspired by the recent suppression of the recent Mearsheimer and Walt Harvard study on the Jewish lobby, I *insist* that the term "hippie" be replace by "orthodox post-WWII bohemian." Fire-dancing and hackey-sack are to be considered cultural statements. Drum circles are sacred.

Havrilesky ought to be summarily dismissed for her obvious anti-orthodox post-WWII bohemian sentiments. It's astounding she could get this kind of biased claptrap published in this country.

That kind of shallow post-yuppie thinking is disturbing.

Original article: The original mad scientist

Terrific review

I hope the book is half as good...

OPEN YOUR EYES. CUT OFF THE FUNDING.

When a spooky mole like Dick Cheney appears before an AIPAC assembly and swears to defend I$rael before US interests, something is very clearly wrong. The Jewish/Zionist/PNAC/AIPAC "Fourth arm of government" needs to be SEVERED and the wound cauterized.

History will mock the US for having I$rael lead us by a ring in our nose. End this abusive relationship dramatically and permanently.

"Turkey shoot"? You mean the US slaughter of retreating Iraqis..?

That George W. Bush would even publicly consider using nuclear weapons ought to be cause enough to take steps to remove him from office FOR REASONS OF INSANITY.

Original article: Running scared in Ohio

Ohio is profoundly corrupt

Have you read ANY of the facts involved in the 2004 Diebold voting debacle? There is NO POINT is discussing anything other than vote fraud -- if the votes aren't counted accurately, there's no point in any sort of debate.

The Feds ought to descend on Ohio and take over operation of the state while an army of special prosecutors unravels each and every Buckeye State scandal. There are plenty of them. MAJOR corruption, going to the highest levels of government.

Original article: Bush's bogus boogeyman

Think back... '73 Mideast war... with whom did we side..?

Any recognition..? Connecting any dots..? No?

Let's go back further... '47... did we have *any* enemies in the Mideast..? No?

Explain to me how an oil-dependent country chooses a path that results in its economy being negatively affected... what has I$rael *ever* done for the US?

Machine-gunning US sailors trying to board life rafts does NOT count!

Original article: Colbert's smart bomb

Cindy Sheehan. Stephen Colbert. Two names in five years..??

Do they really have us smothered in bullshit too deep to escape from..? I guess I could add Mearsheimer & Walt to that short list, but they barely suggested raising an eyebrow and were buried.

Russ Feingold suggested censure, which is as pussified a move as can be imagined. What a little halfwit cunt. Bush didn't kick a puppy. Bush committed treason. The press is voluntarily paralyzed. The Congress is full of spineless organisms.

Stephen Colbert. I'd never heard of him, and now I feel that his profile ought to be on our money since he's a bona fide American hero IMHO.

Tuesday, May 2, 2006 09:40 AM

Might I suggest..?

1. A couple of big glasses of cold water

2. A nice big healthy meal

3. A good night's sleep

You'll feel better and not worry about whether you're special enough. Don't watch your feet while you're walking. Try not to be so grumpy, don't bring everybody down. Make the best of it. Take a deep breath and enjoy being alive.

Tuesday, May 9, 2006 10:01 AM

Washington Post? Isn't that a newspaper..?

I like to buy a newspaper a couple of times each year. I use two sheets of newsprint to light my barbecue.

Who's this whiny little bitch complaining about Colbert's bull's-eye performance? Some irrelevant, dust-covered "journalist"? One of the legions who have sat there like lumps as Bush rapes America? Well, fuck him, then. He's on the wrong side of the fence.

Move him out

Get your own place if he won't budge. That ought to take care of your problem.

I'd love to indulge in a full-blown rant on the sour prohibitionist crowd ("IT'S ILLEGAL!"), but what's the point?

What about Gail King, then..?

Is SHE gay..?

Original article: I Like to Watch

Ahem

1. You watch too much television

2. Marriage is a trap for guys. It saves time in the long run to just pile up twenty thousand dollars and set fire to it.

Monday, May 22, 2006 10:42 AM

Election year bullshit

US troop levels were just increased to 130,000 -- does that sound like a "withdrawal" or "drawdown" or whatever doublespeak term feels like using this week. Does that sound to you like they intend to leave Iraq anytime soon?

Original article: No to Israeli unilateralism

How long will the US support and fund I$rael's genocide..?

I$rael couldn't be half the monster nation it has been without endless, bottomless US monetary support. Why are we facilitating these creeps..? GOD WILL NOT STRIKE DOWN THE USA IF WE STOP FUNDING I$RAEL.

They sell rubber hoses to beat kids with..?

Isn't that some sort of bizarre fetish? I wouldn't beat an animal and I certainly wouldn't dream of hitting my kids. This story is astounding.

Although where I might say to one of my kids who was not acting very well in public "If you choose to continue to act that way, you will lose your video game/television/telephone privileges" that tack may not work in a Christian(tm) home where there probably IS nothing of interest to a kid, really. "Do your chores and come in for Bible study, Caleb."

Original article: "X-Men: The Last Stand"

Erm...

I couldn't believe that a sequel was produced, I'm incredulous that a THIRD film is now opening. Movies based on comic books are fundamentally flawed.

Original article: "The Break-Up"

I don't want to read another word about Jennifer Aniston.

Not just on Salon.com, but anywhere. She's a television actress and her fifteen minutes were over thirty minutes back. If she appears nude in a film, kindly post a JPG or two. Otherwise, please stop writing about her. There are other actresses out there.
