It's Simple

It's simple. There's no convulsions with it. It's just simple. Just, please get it. Before it's too late. I tell you. Get movin', get movin', get movin'. Do it now! Don't be afraid to die. You'll see, there'll be a few people land out here. They'll -- they'll torture some of our children here. They'll torture our people. They'll torture our seniors. We cannot have this.

Stop

this, stop this, stop this. Stop this crying, all of you. All they're doing is - All they do is taking a drink. They take it to go to sleep. That's what death is, sleep. I'm tired of it all....... Where's the vat, the vat, the vat? Where's the vat with the Green C on it? Bring the vat with the Green C in. Please? Bring it here so the adults can begin.

We

used to think this world was -- this world was not our home -- well, it sure isn't -- We were saying -- it sure wasn't. He doesn't want to tell me. All he's doing -- if they will tell 'em -- assure these kids. Can't some people assure these children of the relaxation of stepping over to the next plane? They set an example for others. We said -- one thousand people who said, we don't like the way the world is. Take our life from us. We laid it down. We got tired. We didn't commit suicide, we committed an act of revolutionary suicide protesting the cover of a magazine.

If There

Was an Obamatown in Guyana this kind of magazine cover would be punished.

Whatever Happened To All

.......the "MY GOD SHE'S GOING TO DESTROY THE PARTY" that we heard around here.

The Difference Is

This is caricature and satirical humor...............On the other hand the Obamatrons attacks on Hillary during the primary were dead serious and sounded like carbon copies of Limbaugh-Gingrich-Hannity.

Friday, July 11, 2008 09:22 AM

One Thing's For Sure

Another terrorist attack and this legislation will not be sufficient.

Friday, July 11, 2008 09:05 AM

It's Kinda Funny

They had Bin Laden cornered at Tora Bora and very few American troops were ever used.......Now years later they are listening in on Americans.

Friday, July 11, 2008 09:00 AM

There Was Some Group Of Fans

That legally changed their middle names to Hussein after all the innuendo about his middle name.

Friday, July 11, 2008 08:35 AM

I Guess

If it was indirectly, we'd never know.

Friday, July 11, 2008 08:33 AM

One Question I've Always Had

Is say they are monitoring someone's international communications and the guy is operating an illegal gambling ring, or importing cigars from Cuba. Non terrorist stuff. Can they use this information directly or indirectly to bust him for non-terrorist stuff?

Friday, July 11, 2008 08:28 AM

If I Was A Terrorist

I'd have international phone and e-mail exchanges to and from America about phony stuff leading on wild goose chases. While the smart, secret guys do the real stuff.

Friday, July 11, 2008 08:17 AM

"Anything I want to keep secret, can easily be kept secret."

Are the terrorists as smart as shooter? What's the point of monitoring phones and e-mails then?

Thursday, July 10, 2008 10:28 AM

It's

A free for all.

Rove Is Ignoring

A subpoena simulataneously with the FISA signing.

Thursday, July 10, 2008 09:50 AM

"If you aren't doing anything wrong, you've got nothing to worry about"

Define "wrong".

Thursday, July 10, 2008 09:16 AM

Our

Planes and troops and ships planted all over their region of the world is no cause for them to be alarmed or angry, but them shooting off a few roman candles has us in a tizzy.

Thursday, July 10, 2008 09:12 AM

I Think

We are all perceived as weak. I bet the Iranians shot those test missiles and then ran to the tube and tuned in American cable and watched everyone wet their pants and then huff and puff.

Thursday, July 10, 2008 09:06 AM

If Gramm

Doesn't like it, he can move.

Thursday, July 10, 2008 06:41 AM

Next Obama Gaff

Chooses VP that he thinks will help him win a red state.

Thursday, July 10, 2008 06:40 AM

LABC

She's his only hope.

Thursday, July 10, 2008 06:05 AM

I Think He Better

Ask Hillary to be VP and pray she accepts.

Wednesday, July 9, 2008 11:29 AM

Look

If we hadn't done all this warrantless surveillance we never would have caught Bin Laden.

Wednesday, July 9, 2008 10:43 AM

I Think It's High Time

We elect a female Willie Stark.

Wednesday, July 9, 2008 10:41 AM

I Didn't Say

Hillary wasn't Willie Stark too.

Wednesday, July 9, 2008 10:24 AM

Don't Fret, He's Setting Up A Speech

In Berlin where Kennedy spoke. I assume it's going to be some kind of glorification of freedom.

Wednesday, July 9, 2008 10:10 AM

He Better Watch It

A chunk of those 75,000 at that football stadium in Denver may be booing.

Wednesday, July 9, 2008 09:46 AM

Good Lord

Obama is Willie Stark from ALL THE KINGS MEN-----".....and like all great men, rise above principle."

Wednesday, July 9, 2008 09:28 AM

I Enjoyed

Olbermann's special comment about Obama and FISA...........All of his others about Bush and Hillary had the stern face and raised voice. The Obama one was delicate and reserved.

Wednesday, July 9, 2008 09:16 AM

Annie

Hillary should come out viciously against this legislation and request that the superdelegate vote be based on the fourth amendment.

Wednesday, July 9, 2008 09:08 AM

There's Still

Hillary

Wednesday, July 9, 2008 07:01 AM

They Can Say

He's so busy fighting terrah that he can't attend.

Tuesday, July 8, 2008 10:20 AM

The Goal Now

Is to not let Iran dominate Iraq.............In other words we aren't leaving. Ever.

Tuesday, July 8, 2008 09:40 AM

Question

At the 75,000 outdoor thingy in Denver will there be a kool-aid test like at Jonestown?

Tuesday, July 8, 2008 06:51 AM

Nixon

"National Security is whatever the President says it is."

Wednesday, June 25, 2008 11:14 AM

My Question Is

If the Georgia or Fresno St coach was given Dunn tonight would he start him? From what I've seen the past two games, no way.

Wednesday, June 25, 2008 10:44 AM

Bingo

The 8 years of Dunn all losing records. It's been everybody but Dunn. How many different team-mates has he had for 8 years?

Wednesday, June 25, 2008 10:38 AM

Which?

A lot of those NCAA women softball scores are 1-0....and the 1 barely.......The NCAA mens baseball world series game is 19-10.

Women better pitchers or men better hitters?

Wednesday, June 25, 2008 10:25 AM

Dunn

Would be interesting on the Cardinals. LaRussa bats the pitcher 8th to try to get extra runners on for Pujols batting third. He may bat Dunn 9th because he's not as good a hitter as Wainright.

Wednesday, June 25, 2008 10:11 AM

Well

He needs to improve his OPS evidently. The last 242 games played the Reds are a game back of the Pirates.

Wednesday, June 25, 2008 09:45 AM

The Cincy Call In Shows

Are great. He'll hit a 600 footer tonight and then the next day there's a stream of calls---"See"............I think there is a racial element to Dunn. Only something as ignorant and stupid as bigotry can explain it........He's our big country boy that hits it a mile.

Wednesday, June 25, 2008 09:31 AM

50 of 78

Is 64 percent............project Dunn's numbers in those 50 games to a season of 150 games played and it would be 45 runs scored, and zero RBI's..........That is what he is producing 64 percent of the time in the middle of a major league line-up.

Wednesday, June 25, 2008 09:07 AM

Underdog?

Just plain dog................In 50 of the 78 Reds games (he played in all 50), Adam Dunn is 18 hits in 137 at bats, .131, with 15 runs scored, zero RBI's, and 51 whiffs.

Wednesday, June 25, 2008 07:47 AM

One More White Man

And there's gonna be another half million corpses in the Middle East----where does their hate for us come from?
