“Aloha Lola.

I am not a conspiracy theorist. Complex conspiracies typically require a number of people, working in concert, usually for their own reasons, to accomplish. Stories like the 600 Fully staffed FEMA concentration camps dotting the US, or alien technology at Area 51, or the replacement of all the gold stored at Fort Knox having been replaced with tungsten, or that Barack Obama was born in Kenya and flew to Hawaii are not credible.

But the JFK assassination in a different story. His motorcade route was published. I was a little younger then, but I was very competent with firearms as was EVERY SINGLE member of my peer group.

I was shocked and appalled the next day, but when the film was run on the news there was absolutely no question among anyone who saw it, then or now. The bullet that killed JFK came from the front. A huge conspiracy was simply not required. I am sure Oswald got a round or two off, but he was firing downhill at a receding target. One of the most difficult shots in the world.

The Warren Commission demonstrated that the government was no longer trustworthy. So polls are now couched in terms of 'approval ratings' which merely indicate, usually incorrectly, how badly a given segment of the population believes the subject of the poll is screwing up the public trust on any given day.”

“I am from Texas, but sometimes those people just cannot help but doing something stupid as hell. The ridiculous part is that the intent of the law is unconstitutional on it's face.

If you can't count on Texas to get it right what chance do the 49 lesser states have? :-O

BTW, the Bush family isn't from Texas. Don't blame them on us.”

“I changed my mind. I'd kiss this fellow. http://galleries.smcrevenue.com/kimber/1/?nats=MzUzOjQ6MTQ,0,0,0,862”

“If that's your picture I'd kiss you and let the money go.”

“This guy can't POSSIBLY be racist. He treats blacks just like everyone else. !!!!

"I'm not a racist. I just don't believe in mixing the races that way," Bardwell told the Associated Press on Thursday. "I have piles and piles of black friends. They come to my home, I marry them, they use my bathroom. I treat them just like everyone else."”

“Ummm....no­, I'm afraid not. 117.”

“We were all hoping Obama would be a new FDR. Instead, he's a new Jimmy Carter.”

“OK, that's funny!”

“If you mean do I believe this nonsense "Diplomats identified the vessel as a Bahamas-flagged cargo vessel, the ANL Australia, carrying rocket-propelled grenades and other weapons.", no. One typically does not include nuclear technology in a shipment of 1970s RPGs.”

“I don't understand the headline either. This device can't be steered through a 360 degree turn under it's own power, it won't fit on any existing highway or under a bridge or wire......­it only travels in one direction.­..IF the wind is up...and it doesn't have room for anything but one small, uncomfortable pilot. I'd say a barrel over Niagara falls is just as good a demonstration of green power.”

“I don't know why people have such a hard time believing Barack Obama was born in Hawaii but no trouble believing George Bush graduated from Yale. You couldn't GET from Kenya to Hawaii by air in 1961 when it was still a British protectorate. You STILL can't. IF you could catch a Super-Constellation out of Nairobi in 1961 you'd have to fly to the EAST coast of the US and pass through customs and If you think being a white woman with a black child is rough now, you weren't here in 1961. I was. I remember. No one sneaked Barack into the country. Have any of these 'birthers' actually BEEN to Africa? They sure didn't get there via Hawaii.”

“I agree with the DOJ. Making fun of Cheney is not going to get anything accomplished. He needs to be waterboarded.”

“According to the reports, the plan was to leave no one alive. ONLY because a woman managed to get to her gun and defend herself kept her alive. Criminals cannot be disarmed by laws because they don't abide laws. A crime was partially thwarted and the criminals identified because the victim had a gun.”

“Excuse me! Classing geriatrics­....by which I take the meaning of 'retired Americans' as ret@rds is about as stupid a thing to say as Gingrich's nonsensical rant. My father fought in WWII and I in Vietnam. Right or wrong as wars are, we answered our nation's call.

If by 'social ret@rds' you refer to organized religion, what a person chooses to believe...­or not....is their own business, not Newts or yours. That ideal is clearly expressed in the Constitution.

I don't shove atheism in your face and I pay my own way. Don't refer to me as a ret@rd because of my age.”

“(1) Take back the 170 billion, let the company fail and then pay bonuses out of what is left.
(2) What do you mean 'retain top talent?" They bankrupted the company and there aren't any jobs waiting for them down the street.

(3) Everyone in America is getting VERY tired of this bullshit VERY fast. You idiots don't seem to understand what you are fomenting. I am tired of being told 'Let them eat cake".”

“Do you know why you don't speak with a British accent?”

“Musubi is NOT sushi.”

“That is nothing more than an egregious insult to the Obama family. Blair house is exactly the place they should be, not a hotel. The secret service already has it well in hand, but the Bush administration is still trying to play emperor.

This will reach around and bite someone.”

“Norm, you mispronounced wiener.”

“Spend all the time you want rationalizing this, but it was a photo op, not a setting of introduction. Obviously everyone had shaken hands with everyone else at least once during the summit.

CNN may try to walk it back a little, but what you see here is an overt act of rejection. It is a visual depiction, one of the best I have ever seen, of how the world and 90% of America feel about the last eight years. It is a perfect example of Bush's legacy as history will record it. And Bush's body language clearly shows that he understands it is a show of unity against him, personally.

No one could be more deserving of the disrespect.”

“He probably isn't. Didn't America already fight the Pirates of the Barbary coast once? But that was up around Libya.”

“Give the man some credit. If he hadn't stolen the election and ruined the country, there would be no impetus to come together and work to restore it. Obama wouldn't have been elected. Exxon wouldn't have made a fifteen BILLION dollar profit last quarter while the entire WORLD is going bankrupt.

What a legacy: George Dubya Bush. The man who destroyed earth. And he doesn't even know it. He thinks he's doing a great job.”

“Well Glen, consider yourself lucky it wasn't someone serious.”

“The third party”

“Nobody cares what Bush wants anymore. I doubt anyone ever did. The President ought to lose most of his power during his last two months in office. By then they don't care what they do.”
