But before he goes he gives us another ample dose of his most favored words and phases. Beginning with the ever unpopular "Codswallop". On to the oh so deeply cutting use of the word "Little". Rarely does he leave off of an opportunity to use "Warmonger" to describe his take on anyone who doesn't have a Ron Paul sign in his/her yard. Then there is his use of the phrase "Hand waving" to describe what anyone does who doesn't direct their posts to him in the manner that he sees as fit, or something.
It's such a pleasure when the Bucky1 comes to visit. Ain't it?

Well little one, it was fun to see that you came out from under your little rock after you knew I was off to tend to other matters. Or, perhaps you came out from behind the cabal once you thought it safe? Yes little fool, you forgot 'cabal'.
First, I picture you as 'little' because you write that way; you write as if you are in the 7th grade. Perhaps you are 70 and just never grew; but you seem to be full of middle school behaviors.'
Then there is 'codswallop' which is a British word that means the same as when a more ruff American says 'bullshit'. I worked in close association with many Brits for almost a decade, and that was one word that I came to love because you can say it in polite company without making the wife angry. Plus, with so many socialists here one gets a chance to use the word often --- the cabal is so full of codswallop.
On to 'hand-waving'. If you ever studied science, you would know the term well; and the conversation was tangential to science, so naturally I used a term that is so well known --- well, to adults that is.
:-)
Darn, I do not have a sign in my yard! Which murdering neo-con is on the one in your yard?
Sorry.... I stand corrected.
I still get frustrated when people who can and should know better nevertheless say things theyu don't believe because they think it will "play in Peoria"
Its not the first time I've seen ignorance being held up as a virtue.
-- Paul Dirks
The ignorance is all yours; and it damn sure is not a virtue. You are frustrated because you want to attack someone and must do so on damn flimsy grounds; and you know you are following the same tactics Glenn wrote against here just weeks ago.
Buck up me lad; you will feel so much better when a Dem neo-con is in the White House abusing your freedoms.
Who is an aspiring thinker, poet, educated one?
Who thrives being a smarty pants who throws off the fussy-jacket and goes into private...O, slip off into the bathroom,
sheds his docker-britches, and fuzzy jacket-it's off?
Who is the reverend preacher finding it too painful to make eye contact?
Read about Toilet paper sales.
O, attend a European Tissue Symposium?
O, read about water levels and flush a commode.
O, why not attend a WHO/UNICEF Joint Monitoring Programme for Water Supply and Sanitation?
O, the estimated sales of toilet paper in the US$6-alone-plus is annually many billion.
Its a Matter of Scale. The Bottom Line. Billions of people in the world are without access to adequate sanitary toilets. huh. Global Pax Americana.
Who is to blame for the topic?
Enjoy the morning stinker Bowell movement. sigh. I guess we will wait until the poison bowel pain condition is over. Please Barn me and allow me/you and somebody help me with a rake, pick, and garden hoe? What does one need to do to get the boot? I remember Louie Ludwig near Austria sat on a carved white swan some peasant carved for the aristicracy each morn.
That was when compost was vewed as night-soil 'gold'...
The rumor was Ludwig drank too much wine and tipped out of a canoe near the Rhine River. He was tipsy-out-from a canoe and drowned in a lake? Others said he was murdered. Gads.

Two major trends have been pushing prices up faster than they have risen for more than 30 years. One is that increasingly prosperous consumers in India and China are not only eating more food but eating more meat. Animals have to be fed (grains, usually) before they are butchered. The other is that more and more crops – from corn to palm nuts – are being used to make biofuels instead of feeding people.
At the same time, the world is drawing down its stockpiles of cereal and dairy products, which makes markets nervous and prices volatile.
The result, says Joachim von Braun, who heads the International Food Policy Research Institute (IFPRI) in Washington, is that "the world food system is in trouble. The situation has not been this much of a concern for 15 years."
According to recently released “Annual Energy Management Report”, in Fiscal Year 2006 the Pentagon consumed 320,000 barrels per day of site delivered oil; and that does not include the oil used by our mercenaries or our client nations where we fund their military. You can bet the 'leading candidates' have no cares about the cost of food --- or even if the dollar continues to collapse. Eat hardy, you may well go on a real diet next year.

Nothing to say to your ridiculous reply(?) to me beyond holly cripes you're strange. So damned strange.
Because if they really cared, they'd abolish the federal "anti-hunger" programs that are the true cause of hunger in the USA!

Edwards Unveils New Policies For Fighting Widespread Hunger Among America's Families
Nov 21, 2007 11:51 AM[...] “This week, as families across the country come together to give thanks, we are reminded of the sad fact that millions of American families still go hungry,” said Edwards. “Food insecurity is one more sign that the economy is not working for regular families. While the costs of health care and energy keep increasing, the average family is earning less than they did in 2000 and the cost of food is rising faster than it has at any time in nearly 20 years. More than 35 million Americans went hungry last year, including almost 12 million children.
“America is better than this,” Edwards continued. “I believe it is our moral obligation to fight the special interests in Washington and build One America where no man, woman or child goes hungry. But we don’t have to wait till 2009 to create change– we can start taking action right now.” [...]

Obama Statement on Food Shortage
Chicago, IL | November 21, 2007[...] “A report released last week showed that the number of Americans without food security grew by 300,000 from 2005 to 2006. That is unacceptable in this country, of all countries. To help address this, we need to stand up to the special interests, bring Republicans and Democrats together, and pass the Farm Bill immediately. And while we're at it, let's strengthen the Emergency Food Assistance Program, the Food Stamp Program and the Commodity Supplemental Food Programs and launch additional anti-hunger initiatives” [...]

“The federal government is now involved in providing health care, houses, unemployment benefits, education, food stamps to millions, plus all kinds of subsidies to every conceivable special-interest group. Welfare is now part of our culture, costing hundreds of billions of dollars every year. It is now thought to be a "right," something one is "entitled" to. Calling it an "entitlement" makes it sound proper and respectable and not based on theft.”

Taxation is theft! Welfare is theft! Vote Ron Paul '08 and we'll all eat just great!
