Original article: The economic Civil War

One more point.

The south does not have and "auto industry".

They have assembly plants owned and run by foreign companies and governments. These plats ship the wealth of the US overseas and leave American workers with the crappy jobs none in Germany or Japan want.

The best jobs, engineers, executives, scientists stay overseas further entrenching the southern US as cheap banana republic labor for their economies while the northern United States pay for the health and welfare of the southern workers that the foreign countries couldn't give a rat's behind about.

This is ridiculous.

There is no evidence that he said or did anything that wasn't totally on the up and up. Exonerated by the republican prosecutor and by accident by Blago himself.

Yet, what's he hiding?!? WTF?!?

@tangerine

Too funny.

Original article: Blago defiant in presser

This guy should have been a republican.

He has their playbook memorized.

No matter how wrong or guilty you are, always keep up the lie.

The more you are proven guilty the more you crank up the volume of your lies...

and most of all, always keep a straight face.

The funniest thing about the recent Caroline Kennedy flap.

Is the unintentional complement from one of the hacks on Faux news.

Paraphrasing:

"Caroline Kennedy is no Sarah Palin."

God, you gotta love Faux.

She is the perfect poster child for the death of the right wing movement.

And they have no idea.

Original article: Quote of the day

First, these people are "right-wing religious fundamentalist, not "conservatives".

Second.

Their rants never make any real logical sense, they are not intended to. Their rants are intended to divide the American people and divide us any way they can. Calling more than half of the American people Baal worshipers is a good WTF way of pissing people off and energizing their Neanderthal base.

Third.

It is uncanny how the tone and a good deal of the content of the American right-wing fundamentalists mirror that of the Middle Eastern right-wing religious fundamentalists.

I doubt that their bases would ever be willing to take a hard look at themselves and their counterparts in the other parts of the world and see the similarities... and why they are a anathema to everything the purport to stand for.

Fourth.

Baal worshipers???... these people have been watching too many Star Gate reruns.

@timbuktom

You were giving them money, most people tend to be at their best behavior when receiving an undeserved handout.

In the right (or wrong) circumstances these are the type of people that would be perfectly happy to see you burned alive because you do not agree with them on some crazy "belief" they have. They have done it before.

They are not "nice" people. Even ol Adolph smiled and liked puppies.

Original article: Quote of the day

I don't know where you people...

... get your information on ancient gods and their worshipers, but anyone who ever watched Stargate SG1 knows that Baal is actually a lizard-like parasitic creature that lodges itself in the brainstem of his victim.

The baal/human hybrid then has glowing eyes and a very deep Barry White kinda voice with an insatiable urge to rule the galaxy.

(This is no crazier than what the Liberty U folks pass off as "higher learning". Heck, it even makes a bit MORE sense.)

Original article: Bush pardons 19

Without a pardon Libby will sing like a bird.

Therefore Bush will pardon him to protect his own backside.

Original article: About that pardon...

I think its pretty certain you would find a money...

...behind 99% of the Bush pardons.

Buy hey, they guys already a torturing war criminal and traitor. What's a little more graft on top?

Very important message.

I have something vitally important information for people posting in Salon's letters section that are not part of the conspiracy.

If you do not follow these instruction exactly you could also be brainwashed into believing Obama is nothing more than an extremely smart, well educated, decent human being who has the best interests of the American people at heart:

A.) You must use metallized tape to hold the tin foil on your head properly, duct tape is too risky.

B.) Whenever possible double wrap the tin foil over your entire head.

C.) Your eyeholes should never be larger than a quarter.

d.) Always drink your own urine, that way your blood remains more conductive and you are therefore less susceptible to electromagnetic waves that they direct at your brain stem.

Good night and good luck.

Hey stinky!

Your still not doing it right.

Stop bathing in your urine and perhaps you could get a nickname.

PS:(stop playing on your parent's computer.)

Amen.

Buh bye...ignorant scum.

If Burris does not decline the appointment...

...immediately then he should be and deserves to be under suspicion for bribery.

Original article: "I am the greatest"

If this guy really wants to be considered for Senator...

... then he can really help himself by showing that he is a man of integrity by refusing to play along with Blago's tainted appointment.

Then once Blago is in prison or impeached (or both) he can throw his hat in the ring with everyone else once a "non-criminalized" authority is in place to make the appointment. He would automatically be a serious contender because of the good publicity from his refusal to play the dirty politics game.

This is not rocket science and his refusal to take this rout is not only calling into question his integrity it is also making people question his judgment... something the former occupant of that senate seat has in abundance.
