“Oh, sacrificial me, I quit my vacation because my fellow travelers were bothered! See, I do evvreetheen for others and all I get are insults, feel sorry for me, uhhhhhh.

Her fellow travelers were seen gathering in circles, all holding something red in their hands, oh no tomatoes, runnnnnn.”

“Well, there you have it. A "match" for Sarah Palin.
What a ticket, eh? Palin-Traficant.
And Traficant already has his own built-in "bumpit" so Sarah won't have to share.
He might run for President! We'd be surprised what a national following he has. I'm sure that's true.
What is the poor soul going to do for a living? Did he sock away enough ill-gottens to last the rest of his life? Probably.”

“The ONLY insurance we should be "mandated" to buy has to be the public option, non-profit. The tax payer money should only be used for public option and NOT private insurance.
The middle man makes all the money and we have to remove the middle man.
I've heard nothing about a national program that covers catastrophic expenses once you've reached a certain limit.
And...they have NOT removed the anti-trust exemption from the Insurance cos!!!!!! ferchrissakes
So, we are left with co-pays, high premiums, limits and continued bankruptcies due to medical costs. What good is this? I'm appalled.
Keith is right, NOT health, NOT care and NOT reform.”

“The first term of a president has to be spent doing certain things and the second term is probably the place we will see more progressive acts being taken. It would seem that 1/4 of a first term is awfully short for all the magic everyone expected. At least wait until the election to decide what your vote will be, wouldn't that be more rational and realistic?
Cleaning up this mess and staffing is a lot of work, the expectations for instant wonders is too much, this isn't a 60 minute TV show...flash and done.
Talk a walk in the sunshine and settle down.”

“Howard Dean has the kind of spine I'd like to see in all of our Dems. One of these days we will have a bunch like Dean, Saunders and Kucinich that tell it like it is. Where are the clone experts? Ahhh, if only....
Aren't there some thirty-somethings willing to enter politics. eHarmony could match up a nice crop with Sauders et al and in no time we'd have candidates we can support. They ARE out there, we have to bring them out.
We can rail against the prez, the dems, the reps all we want, but until WE do something, WE aren't going to see the change we need. The President is only One, we are millions, we have to push.

It looks like outright fraud in congress, where the implied contract the State has with its elected representatives has been broken repeatedly. They are working AGAINST their citizens, while living large ON the citizens.
The State should be demanding recall and re-appointment/election of a representative that will do the Peoples' bidding. Cities and communities should be growing spines too...it isn't all in Washington.”

“Venus and Serena don't fit your profile : "...produce these kinds of adults with no control."

These women have been on the circuit behaving extremely well for over a decade. # 1 twice, Serena had an anger fit once that you saw. It cost her $87,000. Other than that, they have always been in control of themselves while enduring much unfairness. Even that fit, at that time was totally understandable, it was Match Point...a foot fault that is almost NEVER called. The line judge was suspect in that call at that time.
Yes, their parents had income from them in the end, but they did raise them, educated them, trained them and made champions out of them. That is worth a lot and they will tell you that.”

“People wouldn't be as angry IF they were getting the TRUTH every day. Our MSM is hugely at fault with their non-news, lie-news, manipula-news, attack-news et al.
People are being ginned up 24/7, all the better to control them.
A study said 90% of Americans listen to the radio every day. 91% of that radio is Right Wing! 80% of that right wing radio is lies, talking points, propaganda, excessive promotions, brain washing and hate mongering.
What chance does the North Dakota farmer have in his truck, or the commuter on a freeway? They are going to be brain washed by non-truths.
The answer to your question IMHO lies in the truth.”

“Thank you for this post Marcella. It should be front page MSM.

Wasn't it remarkable how swiftly the fundamentalists went into over-drive when they heard about the Taliban? Man, here was a gang that ran the show, made all the religious rules, made all the women into chattel, over-ran their govt and took control of the whole country.
"Whee, we can do that! We're Amurkins, we do everything rough and hard, woof woof. Watch us take over this country...call C Street and see what they want us to do next. Them dumb Taliban got nuthin on us. Woof Woof."
Its that "USA USA Woof Woof" that has them all in line. Super patriotic, yeah that's the ticket. We're so tough we don't stop to read signs, we just blast through those "doors" that OUR God has lined up ONLY for us. "What do ya mean, what about our country?"
It really smacks of addiction when you think of how the rich elite corporations have the little guy doing all the dirty work for them. The elite pay off the middlemen in congress and they get the serfs to work for free. They get them "high on hate" and they do self-destructive things and blame their victims. Wheee.
I've lost count of the number of formerly normal people that fell victim to the brain washing and had to be ahem let go.”

“scottaa..........Millions of Americans are emotionally battered and physically sickened by the hate-mongers every single day everywhere. We're ready to puke.
One or two tomatoes thrown near your tomato-babe master-hater will never equal the horror of the constant barrage of lies and untruths and mis-leadings flowing through our MSM 24/7.
The hate mongers of the right have risen to the edge of insanity and are like a herd of beasts gone wild, slaughtering our character and infecting our children...collateral damage is nation-wide.
Treating them civilly has no effect, they need to be stopped.”

“There always needs to be a punning away of the riffraff and drags of society. " requestanothername

Well genius, PUN away those DRAGS of society...we're waiting.”

“"I want someone to witness my life?" Now that is some selfless love. And He's complaining that She may only be interested in his fame? Poooor Tiger. He seems only interested in being famous himself, so what's the problem? "After whoring around the country for years, searching high and low and lower, I've finally found someone I could connect with...via text and email."
How many of those women got the same email? Hide the blind copy, make it quick, send to all.
Well Tige, we are ALLLLLL witnessing your life now, do you feel better? What a jerk.
If his wife comes back to him, it will be the end of her sanity and any self respect. She has a strong family, I don't think they will let her make this huge mistake, they have to be telling her to stand up and be strong.”

“Welllll, she couldn't have exposed herself any more if she had appeared naked across the country. And still, she is followed by the wingnuts and printed in WaPo.
I don't think she has suffered much from being exposed, the left still haven't attacked her in any sufficient way, they just laugh and think that no one could be that dumb. That leaves her calling them spineless Ivy League wimps.
They never fight back. They ought to be creaming her with something that amounts to an honest effort to bring her down, just for practice ferchrissakes...they need to show some teeth. We endured 8 years of Bush-Cheney tragedy simply because the left couldn't stand up and install the elected Gore. They turned tail and bent over...a lot like they are doing with the health care debacle.”

“"Americans are seeking is not the elitism, the uhm, the ah, a kind of spineless, spinelessness that perhaps is made up for that with some kind of elite, Ivy league education and, and a fat resume that is based on anything but hard work and private sector, free enterprise principles."

Wow! Spineless Ivy League Education, fat resume...no hard work, no private sector, no free enterprise principles. Absolutely dizzifying.
See, if you go to 3 colleges in 5-6 yrs, it's harder work just packing to keep moving and signing in...and its all private sector...also.

Guess she's done narrowed her potential voters to a slim pickens.
Dick Cheney told her that creating enemies everywhere will give her tremendous power.”

“I think O'Reilly is moving left. He has simmered down recently, less attacking, more casual, more just chatty. He has to know the right wing is plummeting, he has to have some rat instinct or he wouldn't be O'Reilly.
He couldn't have asked a more pertinent question, it was perfect. It was red meat and she jumped on it, thinking that she would knock this one out of the park. True that...the reality park.
O'Reilly doesn't need any newbie haunting FOX and looking for a time slot that might push him out of his high rankings...for now. I don't think he thinks she has the goods either and is giving her enough rope to hang herself. Done.
We're always tuned in because we know that "the big one" will hit one of these days and we don't want to miss it. She is so intoxicated with her religion and fame now that she isn't looking where she is going. Flying by the seat of her pants will work only so long.
She has learned she will pay taxes on the "gift" of the private jet that is hauling her, that will cause some pause to regroup. Is that what will bring her down, the taxes? The "free house" finagling should have done it already.”

“It seemed that Obama was delivering the Afghanistan speech that someone "forced" upon him, with wording that strongly resembled words that Bush was probably "forced" to speak in his turn. The hackneyed phrases and painful rhetoric drew frowns from the President as he spoke them, he was in full contempt of what he had to say. My chin was plunked on the floor throughout.
So, yes Steven, there are too many forces in the shadows that are stymieing Obama and his intentions seem to be allotted to him now - from outside himself, a few dog biscuits for a swallowed principle and no doubt some promises of fairness to come...someday.
The Progressive push will have to gear up and get a head of steam and start rolling. We are the only engine that has free will in this game. If our collective will isn't enough to get movement, we will continue the game until it is.”

“Everything I read on this case painted a picture of a prosecutor that was fantasizing about sex and violence and got to play it all out in court to satisfy his own salaciousness. He has a super bad history of false accusations and arrests. He used his power to intimidate anyone he chose to. He sounds completely off the wall...the story he told of this crime was so off the wall it didn't even make sense.
The knife wasn't even the murder weapon, the DNA on it was too small to really identify anyone.
Knox could have been an air head or foxy - whatever, but she didn't have a motive for murder. They already have the real murderer in jail.
If Italy has to make some statement to the US for their war crimes, it is understandable, but Knox is an unfortunate girl in the wrong place at the wrong time.”

“Oh yuck, bus bathroom stinks info...We're holding it all day? Wow. All the while following the President? The cesspool is never-ending in Washington...even on the bus it stinks to high heaven.
Helluva job, who wouldn't be proud of their child, sent to the school of Journalism at great financial sacrifice and deep hopes, to read the sterling accounts of their "graduate" now in this high-honorable job at the White House?
That must be what raising a generation of entitled children bought us, we wuz robbed.
Thanks Matt, that was a good write-up. I'll bet you could write till the end of time the examples of slip-shod-slanted supposed non-ideological news releases.”

“Thank you Mr. Moore for this letter, but alas it is way too late, the die is cast, he is going to play ball with the MIC and the lying generals and we can just whistle Dixie and send $$$$$ to pay off the insurgents, so they can buy arms and kill our troops.
NOW, aren't you sorry that you chose to throw our one candidate that could have stood up to ALL this BS, under the bus, Ralph Nader?
When I think of Nader and Kucinich and what they stood for, I wish we would have had the guts OURSELVES to elect someone that really stood for something like we did.
You didn't have the guts, we didn't have the guts, now we have escalation of a stoooooopid war making mince-meat of our young soldiers, feeds the war profiteering machine and keeps insurgents funded indefinitely.
For every soldier we send at $1 million a head, we still have to pay bribes to Afghan "security" joke forces to safeguard our trucks on all Afghanistan roads.
One sure way to keep the hole we're digging for ourselves growing deeper is to have the mission that "trains police and military men so they can eventually take over their own security"...HAH! This is the biggest joke of all. What an excuse though, look how well it has worked in Iraq.

Yep, this Affie war is "the necessary war"...sure Obama. Its a sick joke.”

“...meant " to cheat on their taxes" not cheap on their taxes”

“This will have the right wingers going nutsier. Glenn Beck will do a red faced rant and some crying, aided by his vicks on the eyelids trick that helps those tears ooze for the cameras - sniff sniff, ca$h a check. Sarah will hold forth on Facebook with some assigned slogans.
I say, up Acorn's funding to do the jobs that we need so badly RIGHT NOW. Enough with the bad camera pimp/prostitute act and on with registering voters among the poor and disenfranchised. More outreach to families in the communities.
I could care less if they advised a phony pimp to cheap on his phony taxes...AS IF that was gonna cost anyone anything.
I thought the "advisers" were being very patient and gentle with 2 very obviously misguided punks playing as if they were...anyone.
They should have been fined for wasting the time of some of our most dedicated help-mates.
They should be sued for fraud for trying to bring down a legitimate organization that does necessary work for very low pay at that.
Go Acorn.”

“Halliburton headquartered in Dubai, hmmm, don't they need the dickless over there about now?
Couldn't he go down with some ship ferchrissakes? How many lives does that pathetic anti-American have anyway?
Don't suppose Citi has any exposure in Dubai's mess? They're all probably all set up with "shorts" and "puts" to clean up on their own failure, after all, that's what the big boys do.
Tax speculators now.”

“Every time I see pictures of hastily dredged islands for sale, the new world's tallest building near done and read of Dubai's fantastical development etc the only thing that comes to mind is ENRON. It's Enron all over again, balloon, balloon, balloon, scam, scam, lie, lie, lie and POOF.
To top it off, they tempted fate with the "tallest building"...there is some tale of woe hitting each country right after they built the "tallest."
But, as usual with the ruling elite, who can say this wasn't an orchestrated step of their plan? Maybe the Human Rights Watch is on the verge of exposing their slave labor and the treatment of their slaves during their wage-free building boom? Not such good publicity.
This is a headline grabber, it will push everything else off the front page. This is great cover...but there is a lot to "cover" and the truth will out. How convenient for the Sheik to fire the pros and hire his family!
They'll probably have to turn off the refrigeration of their indoor ski course, the snow will melt and run through the city, wash away their fake islands and drown them all.
Dubai -- Dubi ous,”

“O"Reilly has been slipping a lot lately, he just doesn't have it in him anymore, no gas left in his tank. Phew, it took long enough. He is trying all sorts of different stands to see if anything sticks, so far nada.
What Hannity lacks in brains in that frontal lobe, he makes up for with Red Bullsh*t. Loud staccato repetitions with a twang of a broken guitar string thrown in to shake your soul and imprint his talking oinks. When he runs out of uppers and Karma visits his vocal chords, Sarah will try out for a 2 week run and fail spectacularly...then what will Murdock do?
Like one commenter said, it's like the difference between 2 STD's.”

“I give thanks.”

“...and it must have been a real zinger when Katie won an award for the revealing interview of Sarah Palin that brought the party down.
Sarah wants an award. All that pageant walkin practice doesn't come free you know...come on.”
