“And may the Lord smite me with it, and may I never recover...”

“What do you know, more phony outrage from the world's prettiest and most round-faced phony...

Dobbs is as relevant as Orly Taitz.”

“May Prince and Blackwater be bl.ed dry of every last dollar of blo .od money they've gained from the sl.aug.hte­r and ki.l.ling of so many innocent people. What a disgrace to the nation, and to humanity.”

“"Meet the new Boss; same as the old Boss". The Who, and everyone who knows what the initials I-M-C mean.”

“Guns? Who do you think helps finance all the new microwave-based crowd control we,apons that nobody in the media likes to talk about? The rich are now prepared to use the latest technology to defend their ill-got-ten gains, and they have paid off enough government officials to make it happen. What's coming is a class wa.r that most Americans will find horr.ifyin­g.”

“Dragging this out by any means necessary equals money and viewership for both Salahi's and the media. Ptui....”

“What an absolute doll...”

“In reply to your post below:
Do you understand the concept of corruption? Corruption happens in government when the official in power gets money to make some aspect of government favor business deals over the needs of the individual citizen. Corruption is the problem in any complaint about supposed costs and can be weeded out if the citizens insist, although this is uncharacteristic of our lazy and corporatel­y-controll­ed citizenry.

And to compare ANY of those other governments to the US is apples and oranges. They don't have any of our history, their social systems aren't even remotely connected to ours by dint of their histories or evolutions, and on and on, so to compare any of them with our country is bogus at best.

And there is nothing stopping you from getting whatever insurance you want for your family. But anyone with two eyes and half a brain can see that the concept of socialized medicine works EVERYWHERE it is in place, and the US is shooting itself in the foot by not instituting it.”

“Sorry, Big Government is for the good of the commons, Big Business is for the good of the top 1%. There is waste in government, given, and many businessme­n-in-disgu­ise posing as representatives of the electorate, which in reality they are not. They are profiteers who see government as their slush fund.

The problem is not in the concept of government social programs, which are in existence due to the historically vile way the top 1% has behaved. The problem is in the lazy and sometimes laughable "oversight" of the costs associated with the programs by agencies who apparently can't be bothered to watch over the people's purse.

But we can, and should, have these programs as part of the common benefits of paying taxes and being citizens. As recent events have shown us, capitalism is collapsible at the whim of the upper crust, who can not be trusted even less than "big government".”

“As Thom Hartmann likes to say, Good On You!”

“Waddya know, another televison-bred lemming...”

“Checking who takes money from which corporations told me everything I need to know about why the Dems, not the Repugs, are stalling health care reform. It takes very little research nowadays to get the figures of what companies are paying off which senators and congress members, and it's beyond appalling. I won't be voting for anyone who hasn't been pushing for Medicare for all or single payer. Period.

Poll after poll shows about 70% of voters across the political spectrum want national health insurance. People of either party aren't stupid, and they see how much money goes down a rathole in the name of senseless and unjustifiable military expenditures.

When are we going to take care of our workhorses - the citizens of this country? When are we going to quit acting like the Roman Empire, draining ourselves of all our resources until we crumble and blow away in the wind, all because these corporate lackeys we call Congress won't do the right thing and eliminate this tremendous national problem?

In any case, I let go of the worry about the Dems I helped vote into office. Most of them have shown their true colors, and I'll be looking long and hard for progressive replacements, and people with b*lls of steel who can say no to corporate payoffs.”

“Our media vilifies these protestors, and all the unthinking head-nodders bobble in agreement; but there would have been no America without human beings of this stripe, who have simply had enough of corporate domination and its drain on real freedom and the well-being of all humanity.

This was the very same thing Adams, Jefferson, Washington and all the other "founding fathers" overthrew.”

“OOOOOh! Aren't YOU the voice of responsibility!

Look, Mr. I'm A Number Not A Name, have you even bothered to check out what life is like in factory towns where everyone who lived there worked for a corporation who off-shored all the jobs so their shareholders could get richer on the backs of slave labor overseas? There are no jobs, there are literally thousands of people milling around trying to wash each other's laundry or mow each others lawns for small change, because that's all anyone has.

Now, maybe you have a job that is safe, for now, or you may even be one of those CEO's or shareholders taking advantage of the rest of the world's willingness to exploit their populations, but you have NO right to pop off with ridiculous bromides that neither apply nor add any solutions to the problem. So do us a favor and can it.”

“Oh, please. I've been in professional theatre for 25 years now. I've always worked with a wide variety of bi-gay-straight people. The bi folks decide who they're going to date at any given moment on any given night, in other words, they CHOOSE who they want to be with.

One friend of mine who dated mostly men ended up marrying an actress he fell in love with and they now have three children and are very happy. Are you trying to say he married her because he didn't have a choice? That it was a compulsion? Ridiculous. He chose. It is disingenuous to claim that you don't choose because you are born straight, gay or bi. Everyone is born something, and they make their choices from there.”

“Oh, really? And you know it's BS how, exactly?

Please enlighten me as to the research you've done personally that will refute the validity of the ACTUAL research done by not only this group of people but many others, who have taken action because of their outrage that government officials go unpunished for crimes that the average person would fry for.

Wake yourself up, dreamer. This stuff is real.”

“Eventually, what will be "not to like" is the ghost town your city will become when there are no more sales jobs, repair shops, specialty dealers, shopping malls or downtown districts to visit and enjoy, nor all the coffee shops, small restaurants and bakeries, interesting boutiques, barbershops, beauty parlors etc. that catered to all the people of your town who used to have a job in the local economy.

So you saved a few bucks, while the cumulative effect of following your "online shopping" advice broke down the fabric of life in your town. What a great bonus.”

“Someone's got some resentment­...”

“Tell that to a Bisexual.

From Woody Allen:
"The good thing about being bisexual is that it doubles your chance of a date on a Saturday night."”

“Perhaps you wouldn't mind telling me why THIS was never prosecuted, since it involved, and does to this day, high-ranking officials of the US Gov't...

“Sorry, haters, but Sullenberger is the real thing.

Articulate, extremely well-informed, motivated, educated, physically fit and married to an extremely attractive woman - all the things you wish you were.

So give the guy a break. I'd trust my family's life under his care, no problem, and even though he's a Republican, I'd probably vote for him if he ever ran for public office, because I have heard him speak often enough to believe in his integrity.”

“I wonder if the stress of a political campaign will have a deleterious effect on Lou's pillsbury doughboy physical condition?”

“How dare we all not be obsessed with a Loser, Quitter and Rogue that the media shoves in our face 24/7? Talk about ungratefulness!

It's been a long time since anyone so irrelevant to a positive direction for the country has been so relentlessly ballyhooed in a cynical attempt to sell advertising and move inkspots. And the folks responsible for this non-journalism actually believe there's a future for paid content online? HA! I'd sooner give my money to Girls Gone Wild...”

“Losers, Quitters, and Rogues.

That's what Alaska has contributed in the Palin league.”

“Sorry, but I'm so over this kind of circus act that the media obsesses over instead of focusing on reality that it's starting to offend me.

And like I said, it's hardly something new and daring. They just wish it was.”
