  • Jim White

    CNN is reporting that Janet Napolitano will be Secretary of the Department of Homeland Security. If she can't be AG, this is a good place for her to serve.

    I await her first meeting with Lieberman's committee. I hope she brings her skewers, to skewer the, um, skewersome Lieberman.

    Hope that made sense. If not, shishkabobs for everyone!

  • cabdriver.

    Say nothing.

    Don't even even even, ever ever doubt the flop is a sic-germ that's vile, corrosive, and ill-tainted slime.

    Read of toxic-sludge,

    and sewer-meal-soup.

    This sludge is`a vomit.

    `And a world gags. O, a DOJ's employee?

    cabdriver? dump this crap off at hell DOD!

    Foolish Timothy: I hadn't realized we'd warped back to 1977. (my Millennium Falcon, aka the Ford Falcon, is in the shop--and my mechanic, Obi Wan, charges an arm, a leg, and one of those magical light sticks which cuts through butter like butter)

  • @GC: come on man cut the demonization..get real this is a chat forum..WOW

  • @bystander

    I agree, cheerleaders were inspired.

    Though I have to give credit to flipping off angry dudes and white flag of surrender dude.

  • @cabby: I will not report you to the IRS for not reporting your tips and real wages..

    After 1/20/2009 I do expect all of you to report to the foreman..lol,lol,lol

  • Here's What I'm Thinking,

    Shaft, he's a bad mother (shut your mouth!) ... what, I'm just talkin' about Shaft!

    Ah, the old days. Note that I don't use the word relevance.

  • Tim now that is what we need in here..some fun..go for it my blue eye soul brother..

  • Grinding Bicuspid Teeth

    Tim now that is what we need in here..some fun..go for it my blue eye soul brother..

    I do have blue eyes!

    My god, I really am a devil. (And I know this because I promised [kinda] bystander that I would cease and desist)

  • Chiquita

    I know I'm late to the party, but I also have to agree with those who find Holder's work for Chiquita problematic. I find it hard to believe that anyone who cares about the rights of laborers of all nationalities and who want to correct the abuses of unrestricted international free trade would not at least be given pause by the choice of association. As zeroworker notably pointed out, it's not as if the act of declining Chiquita as a client would prevent them from retaining other lawyers, so it's not as if Holder's choice was a matter of ensuring Chiquita's rights. I think it's been well argued that there's an injustice at hand in denying a client because of their onerous (alleged?) deeds that doesn't apply as strictly when the client has a broad range of choices of representation.

    It's not really so much a matter of guilt by association as a questionable use of time for someone who is concerned with public service or dedicated to social justice. It's a matter of opportunity cost. Granted, I'm not expecting that concern or that dedication from ANY of Obama's cabinet appointments, but I'm certainly not going to be thrilled about them as long as that low expectation is met.

    Of course if we're talking about questionable positions on free vs. fair trade and labor rights, the Senate really should pose no problems for Mr. Holder!

  • Lou reed.....and the colored girls sing....

    The stones what a band....

  • TIm....I thought I was the black devil....Shucks..

    You know Black eye, black mail, blackballed, blacken fish, blackheads,black friday, blackout, Blackward( I made that one up) lol,lol,lol

  • Be Not The Trout

    . . . and rise to the nasty tied-fly that dance, lamely on the surface. And this one smells beacoup faux. Sewer soup indeed. Think Karl Rove rapping. Man, that image put my cats off their food for an entire week. The 1977 reference makes sense, but I'm thinking more of Starsky & Hutches' Huggy-bear rather than Starwars. Like Huggy on a really strung out day, caught in a time-warp in a really bad time. Like after flipping the bird at Mr. T, and being dumb enough to get caught. The references, the language, the total lack of cool make me believe we've got a one-handed typer here. The other rummaging around, well, you get the picture . . .

    Yes, let's. Not.

  • I have a confession..I am blind and I have a voice activated pc..I did not want to reveal that

    I hate pity and excuses..Anyway..I like the AWB..watching white folks dance at holiday parties ( not any more with my vision issues) but that was a blast..lol,lol,lol

  • GBT. chat? or...

    ~

    Your sad mom and dad grieve,

    yes, and also sad grandparents,

    who vomited up you? Why gross?

    O, any human becomes distraught.

    O, your a slimy 5-letter word: trash.

  • Corporateholiday parties..lol,lol,lol I wish dave chappel would have did that skit..

    lol,lol,lol...Rick James Bitches ...

  • totallyblase

    Be Not The Trout

    I promise (again) to avoid such entanglements.

    It's just that Huggy Bear, well, is so rhetorically huggable. Still, I shall demonstrate the necessary fortitude to stop my nonsense (which means, get away from the computer and watch television).

  • GC: Do you dance at corporate parties..lol,lol,lol

    I bet you destroy rythm..lol,lol,lol

  • GC: The polka..lol,lo,lol

    I would pay big bucks to see you and the misses doing the polka waltz...lol,lol,lol

    an acordian..lol,lol,lol

  • @ 59. bump. oho, ay!

    o, you both don matching t-shirts.

    O, writ:`O, kiss, love is the answer.

    O, wave to all's readers. We witness.

  • Oh!, BebopO

    Pedinska sleeps with the fishes tonight. She's got her tent all set up on a beach in the Keys and is presently fighting off an Attack of the Sand Crabs.

    She has the sneakers and her fishnets and will serve breakfast promptly at daybreak (Oh dark early = dien cai dao). Her Voles are standing guard. Two on and two off with their little fingers wrapped around the clackers.

    No word yet whether she's fallen into a latrine in the dark.
