“Oh yes, of course. If I take ibuprofen to relieve the pain and swelling of a twisted ankle I do forget that I'm alive.”

“Yes, they are jealous. But they also suffer from a peculiar characteristic that is only found among black people.

When someone from another race succeeds, then they all celebrate that success not matter whether they all agree or disagree with tht persons politics, religions, thoughts, whatever.

But with black people, whenever one blqck person achieves, there are many many other black people waiting in the wings to try to bring him/her down.

Don't know if this is cultural or genetic, or what.”

“Just as I've come to admire from Reich, a brief but cogent work of common sense. Seems that many of the Tea-Bagger ilk are afflicted with two ills: an inability to "do the math", and a lack of any real, undistorted sense of civic duty. Reich is a short citizen who stands very tall in my eyes.
Actually I had thought that "teabagging" meant something else, which is usually done in privacy between consenting adults.”

“You are probably right: newspapers ARE dead.

The key distinction to make is between newspapers and journalism.

Newspapers are simply a delivery system, like LPs or CDs. Vinyl discs exist now as a boutique item, and compact discs are on their way out. The music industry is in turmoil, but the music hasn't died.

In the same way, journalism will always be with us.

The difference is that good journalism performs a crucial muckraking role. The question is whether it will be able to sustain this role. It cannot without substantial funding and institutional support.”

“Perhaps they think that they can improve ratings by having a future jail-bird on their network. He is certainly controversial.

Rove has operated very "successfully" behind the scenes for years, even if his success has resulted in the marginalisation of the Republican Party and the diminishing of the USA. It will be interesting to see how successful he is when his machiavellian ways are exposed to the light of day.”

“You liberals are all emotional tools. I log on here to try to see the "other side" and am constantly amazed at the reality distortion field you Godless folks put up. I read the first few paragraphs of this idiots article and all he does is make weight jokes and fat insults?! That's the intellectual dialogue I look for here. Wow, are you peace nicks angry people. Rush is an entertainer AND an educated conservative. He is fun to listen too. Liberals are so serious they never can seem to enjoy life. So
a guy like Rush, a self made man, a man with flaws, a NORMAL man, who, whether you like him or not has achieved levels of success any one of us would envy, is the one who gets the jokes. His substance, which is powerful, is ignored because liberals can rarely if ever refute his points.
Im literally afraid of what Obama is doing to my country. Bush is bad because he spends too much money liberals say, then Obama spends 4 TIMES AS MUCH and its GOOD. EVERY ONE OF YOU socialist liberals is a hipocrite, and you have crippled our economy for my child and my grandchildren. F - you for that.......”

“I've said it a few times but I guess it bears repeating, Senator McCain's statement on the helicopters was rational, polite, and could be interpreted as a show of support for the Presidents plans to cut military spending.”

“Actually what sounds nutty is the President, after signing a $1+ Trillion... largest spending bill in history, that will dramatically grow the Federal Gov. (and take away our freedoms) said, "...I'm not for a larger Gov..." an OBVIOUS lie (not a 'white lie... not a spin, a clear and bold face lie) and the Dems applaud... This has become the planet of the apes...”

“....actually, that's exactly what he's doing on faux news......”

“Glenn Beck and his ilk ARE the garbage!!!”

“It's not because of Bush. It's because of right wing ideology. He did not do it alone.”

“LMAO”

“Oh, maybe that was it. I was thinking it was possibly because Roberts was (consciously or unconsciously) getting even with Obama for voting against his confirmation as Chief Justice....”
