“U.S. Department of Homeland Security (DHS) FY 2010 budget is $55.1 billion and they're planning on hiring 67,000 MORE people -- To do what? Corruption among U.S. law enforcement officials who work along the Mexican border is at an all-time high with unprecedented numbers of local, state and federal officers charged or convicted with crimes relating to drug and illegal immigrant smuggling operations and you're paying their salaries! TSA? You can bet they're going to be shaking down all the grandmas at the airports when they fly home after visiting the kids after the holidays this year, when they should be monitoring guys on the terror watch lists sashaying through airports with explosives packed around their legs, especially ones whose daddy called the US about him the month before - DUH! Like the military ignored all the obvious signs given by the unstable religious extremist psychiatrist in their midst who calmly shot all the people at Ft. Hood. The last time I transferred through Schiphol to a plane bound for the US, each passenger was interviewed individually by a security team, in a closed room before being allowed to board the flight.”

“Goldman Sachs owns this administration

“I wanted him to be the candidate in 08 but the Corporatzi got who they paid for.”

“What a surprise! A one-term president owned by big business. And everything else he campaigned on that was just the opposite of George W. Bush's 8 years is still going strong. Transparency? Continued secrecy in meetings. Watchdog groups still have to sue for records. The beat goes on”

“She's been there a while. Her skinny boobs were drooping so far down in that wedding gown with the pointy cups”

“Timmy boy is just doing what he's always been paid to do

“And the beat goes on. The money boys are still playing games with derivatives and hedge funds and life is great for bankers, private security firms, retired generals and the military industrial complex.

“This is an impressive crowd: the Have's and Have-more's. Some people call you the elites. I call you my base.” G.W. Bush”

“A prequel starring old women who look like Granny from the playboy cartoons playing their younger selves. I watched the first one on an overnight flight to Paris and it sucked big time

“I looked over this "collection" at the Target in Asheville NC on Sunday. We needed milk and some other stuff and have 4-wheel drive but many people were still snowed in so all of it was there. What a bunch of cheap crap. The fabric is the same kind they use in Halloween costumes. It was cheaper than any fabric in any of the prior designer garment collections yet the price tags were more expensive. Even the knit t-shirts, the cheapest things at $15 were of the cheesiest t-shirt fabric with no stretch or give whatsoever. Anyone who bought that junk is a fashion victim.”

“I second that!”

“My Citizen Eco tells time just as well, sure as H didn't cost as much, and I've had it more than ten years.”

“Purity ring? Is that a fancy condom?”

“this is a seriously pathetic comment considering many join the military because they can't find a job, even with a college education, these days. Women don't go looking to be sexually assaulted either.”

“Come on in ladies - the volunteer army is great..... and we'll put you in combat, but don't get pregnant. It used to be a way to GET OUT of the military. There's a lot of sexual harassment and forced sex that is reported but the brass does nothing about it and doesn't want anyone to know about it. That's the reason much goes unreported because they make the female the scapegoat. Lots of "suicides" too that aren't really suicides. So what's this general going to do? Make them have abortions?”

“That's what I've been saying all along. The "do as I say, but not as I do" politicians look the other way when it comes to ethics. This is the same reason we're not leaving Afghanistan or Iraq anytime soon - too many retired generals and high level officials on contractor payrolls double, and triple dipping on the taxpayer. Sickening isn't it?”

“How tragic. She had a future because she could really act. I enjoyed her in Sin City.”

“Why did I bother to vote? There will be no reform in any shape or form. The only thing you can believe in is that Rahm and Lieberman are hand in hand to make sure that the health care industry, big Pharma and the insurance companies keep making their BIG profits at the expense of the US taxpayer.”

“Barney peed on the computer”

“too busy talking about Tiger Wood's s*xploitations so they don't have to dig into the real issues and report the news instead of spinning it”

“misplaced on purpose.”

“The Hurt Locker is very well done - powerful and is NOT propaganda for war. It chronicles the absurdity of what goes on every day during these occupations -- the very reasons so many of the veterans have mental and PTSD issues.”

“With the vast list of failures that we actually know about, one would think that the last thing this Admin would do is to prop up another CIA installed fraud and drug dealer. But when Obama kept Gates, you knew that the CIA would keep calling the shots.

As far as getting rid of Al Qaeda in Afghanistan (if that's really the reason for this escalation, which it isn't) a cultural anthropologist suggests a solution that works:

“Reminds me of those kiddie beauty pageant get-ups but this is everyday dress for this little Lolita wearing make-up on the street too. Same earrings as she had on with the flamingo dress. Sick”

“Remember all the reform that was supposed to be legislated after Enron and MCI WorldCom were caught in their fraud schemes? Never amounted to anything. Therefore, I believe the intent by the subject banks and corporations with all the loopholes (thanks to Timmy Geithner's re-writes and edits) is the same thing here.

Remember that campaign "reform" ended up being legalized bribery”

“This is a non issue since Bothwell has been sworn in.

No fool or religious organization has the money to pursue an agenda like this that would clearly be struck down at some point. The Billy Graham organization's revenue dropped 18% in 2008, so it laid off more than 10% (55) of it's employees in Feb, but son Franklin is still pulling in the loot from the Samaritan's Purse Organization, and that organization's publicist confirmed to John Boyle of the ACT (Nov 30) that they flew Sarah Palin in to pray and be anointed by his dad. dailykos reported that the Samaritan's Purse organization NOT ONLY flew her into Asheville, but owns the plane that flew her all around the country on her book tour. Guess one "business" is doing well enough to clandestinely fly the anointed politicians around the country.
