Arianna Huffington And Political Sex

2008-11-22T12:18:00.000-08:00

I have read HuffPost, Arianna Stassinopoulos Huffington's blog site for almost a year. It is in fact a liberal online news and commentary website AND aggregated blog.

Interesting place. Good writings, mostly. Arianna's pieces are really good.

But I did not know until today that she was a liberal when she was living with Henry Bernard Levin (a British journalist who was 22 years older), and later when she was involved with Democratic politician and then-governor (currently Attorney General) of California, Jerry Brown.

After that, she was a champion of Newt Gingrich's Republican Revolution while she was married to Bush family friend and oil billionaire Michael Huffington!

But wait ... check this out!

"The couple divorced in 1997, and in 1998 Michael Huffington disclosed his bisexuality. A 1999 magazine article claimed that Arianna Huffington "entered the marriage... with full knowledge of Michael Huffington's sexual interests in men". The financial terms of their divorce agreement remain undisclosed, but Huffington gained most of her wealth from her husband."

I guess the experience of being married to a bisexual Republican man has forced her to make up her mind ... hopefully. She switched again, back to liberalism!

I bet that her involvement with funny guy Roger Delano "My Brain Hurts" Hinkins' movement was quite adventurous, too.

"After her attempts to woo the religious right, in 1994, Doonesbury Cartoonist Garry Trudeau created a spoof of Arianna Huffington's spiritual experiences with a Los Angeles-based spiritual organization founded by John-Roger, the Movement of Spiritual Inner Awareness. The purpose of the Movement of Spiritual Inner Awareness (MSIA) is to teach Soul Transcendence, which is becoming aware of yourself as a Soul and as one with God, not as a theory but as a living reality."

The best George W Bush BAILOUT JOKE

Re: Republican George W Bush's use of PUBLIC money to buy worthless PRIVATE bank assets to shore up a devastated economy on the brink of collapse.

Communism first nationalized, then devastated; in Bush's "self-regulating" capitalism it is the other way around.

News for the vitamin popping zombies out there: YOU ARE STUPID!

2008-11-21T10:39:00.000-08:00

A large clinical trial of almost 15,000 male doctors taking vitamins E and C for a decade showed no meaningful effect on cancer rates.

Another recent study found no benefit of vitamins E and C for heart disease.

In October 2008, a major trial studying whether vitamin E and selenium could lower a man’s risk for prostate cancer ended amidst worries that the treatments may do more harm than good.

And recently, doctors at Memorial Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center in New York warned that vitamin C seems to protect not just healthy cells but cancer cells, too.

I am an engineer and have my common sense with me (almost) all the time (:-)
Saved about $40,000 by not buying the crap sold at drug stores and vitamin shops and by not seeing my doctor for almost 9 years ... and I'm doing well. No smoking, 2 glasses of wine daily, eat only full-fat butter (French), I like beef, pork, and most other meats, and drink only whole milk (rarely). Beer too.

Do you really need a study to tell you that you don't need to take those stupid vitamins? I mean, one glass of orange juice is taking you over the top on vitamin C. One glass of milk gives you the calcium. One day of sunbathing (with no sunscreen or a low SPF one if you really have to) will give you all the D vitamin you need. And so on ... you can get all the vitamins you need naturally, mostly from the food you eat.

Looks like the vitamins have the same effect as praying, but prayers are free (if you don't have to pay your church any dues).

Better start doing something useful: like NOT watching idiotic shows about vampires, 11th Hour, The Mentalist, Medium, or Fringe. Jeeezus!

Dr. Joseph "Pop A Pill, Kid!" Biederman of Harvard

2008-11-21T10:01:00.000-08:00

Dr. Joseph "Pop A Pill, Kid!" Biederman's work at the prestigious Harvard University has fueled over the years an explosion in the use of powerful antipsychotic medicines in children.

During the same time. he had earned at least $1.6 million from drug makers between 2000 and 2007.

Oh, and he failed to report most of this income to his university.

And he may have violated federal and university research rules.

And maybe he goes to Hell soon ... I'll be there for him. (:-)

Does he have any kids? If yes, do they take pills? If so, how many? Anyone out there knows anything?

Charles B. Nemeroff (Emory University), aka Dr. Moron

2008-11-21T09:56:00.000-08:00

Dr. Charles B. Nemeroff of Emory University, arguably one of the nation’s most influential psychiatric researchers, earned more than $2.8 million in consulting arrangements with drug makers from 2000 to 2007.

He failed to report at least $1.2 million of that income to his university.

He violated federal research rules by failing to disclose his ties to the drug makers in applications for research grants.

As a result, the National Institutes of Health suspended a $9.3 million grant to Emory University and placed restrictions on other grants.

Dr. Charles B. Nemeroff was forced to relinquish his chairmanship of Emory’s psychiatry department.

Dr. Frederick K. Goodwin and your children

2008-11-21T09:41:00.000-08:00

Dr. Goodwin, a former director of the National Institute of Mental Health is a psychiatrist and popular radio host.

On Sept. 20, 2005, in a program produced by Bill Lichtenstein, Frederick Goodwin warned that children with bipolar disorder who are left untreated could suffer brain damage.

I am an engineer and have my common sense with me all the time - when I see all these young Americans popping 5-10 pills every day, my heart sinks. It is because morons like Goodwin that your kids become pill-devouring zombies. Just check this out:

“But as we’ll be hearing today,” Dr. Goodwin reassured his audience, “modern treatments — mood stabilizers in particular — have been proven both safe and effective in bipolar children.”Dr. Goodwin warned that children with bipolar disorder who are left untreated could suffer brain damage, a controversial view. “But as we’ll be hearing today,” Dr. Goodwin reassured his audience, “modern treatments — mood stabilizers in particular — have been proven both safe and effective in bipolar children.”

That very day, GlaxoSmithKline paid Dr. Goodwin $2,500 to give a promotional lecture for its mood stabilizer drug, Lamictal, at the Ritz Carlton Golf Resort in Naples, Fla. Indeed, Glaxo paid Dr. Goodwin more than $329,000 that year for promoting Lamictal, records given Congressional investigators show.

Dr. Frederick Goodwin is not stupid. He's just another mothe*f***er making a good living on parents' ignorance and fear (after all, they love their children and would do anything for their well being).

Anyone knows where Frederick lives?

Also, would you buy any drug from GlaxoSmithKline after they proved again and again that they care only for their profits?

Missouri - The Dumb And Dumber State - Voted REPUBLICAN three times in a row!

2008-11-21T09:22:00.000-08:00

The uneducated and ignorant citizens of Missouri voted for the George W "Legendary Incompetence" Bush in 2000 and 2004.

One would assume that after voting twice for the greatest failure in the American presidential history, the state of Missouri would wake up and do the right thing.

But no, those flea-brained cave dwellers voted again for the republicans and their Sarah "AirHead Bimbo" Palin and John "Forgot What Day Is Today" McCain (you know him, the senior citizen on Sarah's presidential campaign bus).

This while the American economy is on life support after 8 years of idiotic republican administration, losing almost ONE MILLION JOBS in the first 10 months of 2008 alone!

Not to mention the SOCIALIST purchase by Bush's republican administration of worthless PRIVATE BANK assets using PUBLIC money! Even Stalin wouldn't have done it better!

Kristol Thinks Americans Are Smart

2008-11-19T10:18:00.000-08:00

"You think Americans are such idiots, Americans wouldn't understand that people die in a war unless you show brains in the road?" Kristol asked."They think it's a movie," Hamill said. "Let them see a coffin."

Well, at the end of the most incompetent presidency ever, with the economy in deep recession and almost one million jobs lost in just the past year, 28% of Americans still think that their country is on the right track.

At the beginning of the Iraq war, 76% of Americans believed that there was a direct connection between the 9/11 attack and Saddam although there was ABSOLUTELY NO evidence to support such claims.

The republican party strongly believes that the Americans are idiots - just see Sarah Palin's comments regarding Obama during the 2008 presidential campaign. Or all that smear and efforts to push non-issues at the front of the national debate when the country was on life-support - with McCain declaring that the fundamentals are strong!

GM Ford Chrysler CEOs Fly Luxury Jets To Ask For Public Money Bailout!

2008-11-19T09:45:00.001-08:00

Rick Wagoner (General Motors), Alan Mulally (Ford Motors), and Robert Nardelli (Chrysler) have all traveled on three luxurious corporate jets to DC on Tuesday to beg for public money for their failed companies.

Their companies are on the brink of bankruptcy and these clowns are asking for public money while flying $36 million corporate jets???

And check this out: Ford CEO Mulally's corporate jet is a perk included in his contract for BOTH he and his wife!

His salary: $28 million! Mulally actually lives in Seattle, not Detroit. The company jet takes him home and back on weekends.

What about selling the jets, shaving $8 million off his salary, and moving to Detroit? Right there, $50-$100 million available for the day-to-day operations of his company.

Jeffrey Norris, S.E.C. Lawyer And George W Bush Adulator

2008-11-18T09:33:00.000-08:00

From the email sent by Jeffrey Norris, S.E.C. lawyer in Fort Worth, Texas to Mr. Cuban:

"If someone else is the victim of an absurd conspiracy theory, you defend your right to participate in smearing the good name of a patriot like President Bush. But, when you are the subject of a parody of the attack you have endorsed, you suddenly issue threats."

Huh?

Chairman Cox here, chairman Cox there, Jeffrey is using chairman Cox as a form of intimidation, although if chairman Mao would have been mentioned the effect would have been much, much greater.

John Nester, an S.E.C. spokesman, said that the investigation was conducted by the S.E.C.’s Washington office, and that Mr. Norris was not involved in it. He added:
“Chairman Cox has never met the individual who corresponded with Mr. Cuban, nor has he spoken or corresponded with him in any way. After those communications came to light, the matter was referred for disciplinary action against the individual. To avoid any potential appearance issues, Chairman Cox recused himself from the Commission vote, and he has not been involved in this investigation at any time.”

Ford Motor Company, CEO Alan Mulally: Public Money Or Else

2008-11-18T07:51:00.000-08:00

Ford Motor Company, manufacturer of low quality moving mounds of metal known as Ford vehicles, thinks that you, the taxpayer, are stupid.

These boneheads fought for years any efforts to increase fuel economy standards, they promoted monstrosities like the Hummer, inefficient SUVs and pickups as demand for foreign oil increased daily, and manufactured junk cars while Toyota and Honda invested billions in efficient cars (see Toyota Prius).

He basically says that no, Ford did not cause its own problems by being an incompetent and arrogant bunch of lazy thinkers ... and that bailing out Detroit was essential to the U.S. economic recovery. In other words, more billions of public money for a company that proved to be a total business failure. Otherwise, America will lose another gigantic icon of abysmal ineptitude and now that Bush is gone we can not risk that.

Ford CEO Mulally: "we have been there on the fuel efficiency from day one, and it's been part of Bill Ford's original vision of sustainability and energy efficiency and being better environmentally concerned."

Sarah Palin “not a reader but a breeder ” - Bill Maher

”Wasilla hillbillies looting Neiman Marcus from coast to coast”

One pregnancy for every college Sarah Palin went to ...

"... frayed syntax, bungled grammar and run-on sentences that ramble on long after thought has given out completely are a candidate’s valuable traits?"

"What on earth are our underpaid teachers, laboring in the vineyards of education, supposed to tell students about the following sentence, committed by the serial syntax-killer from Wasilla High and gleaned by my colleague Maureen Dowd for preservation for those who ask, “How was it she talked?”

My concern has been the atrocities there in Darfur and the relevance to me with that issue as we spoke about Africa and some of the countries there that were kind of the people succumbing to the dictators and the corruption of some collapsed governments on the continent, the relevance was Alaska’s investment in Darfur with some of our permanent fund dollars.

And, she concluded, “never, ever did I talk about, well, gee, is it a country or a continent, I just don’t know about this issue.”

It’s admittedly a rare gift to produce a paragraph in which whole clumps of words could be removed without noticeably affecting the sense, if any.

Huntington's economy has withered, its poverty rate is worse than the national average, and vagrants haunt a downtown riverfront park. But this city's financial woes are not nearly as bad as its health.

George W Bush's Departing Gifts To The Oil Industry

2008-11-16T15:50:00.000-08:00

"The view of Delicate Arch natural bridge — an unspoiled landmark so iconic it's on Utah's license plates — could one day include a drilling platform under a proposal that environmentalists call a Bush administration "fire sale" for the oil and gas industry."

"This is the fire sale, the Bush administration's last great gift to the oil and gas industry ..."
"The tracts of land offered here, next to Arches National Park or above Desolation Canyon, these are the crown jewels of America's lands that the BLM is offering to the highest bidder."
Stephen Bloch, a staff attorney for the Southern Utah Wilderness Alliance.

After George W Bush, also known as the incompetent-in-chief, brought an 8-year national nightmare upon our country, there was no logical reason to not let Obama start his presidency on November 5th.

If Bush stays in office until the end of Januaray 2009, there will be no functional country for Obama to lead, since incompetent-in-chief's minions will do a "fire-sale" of anything worth something to the oil industry and other corporate backers.

It's really a shame. And Bush will forever go down in history as the worst American president ever.

2008-11-11T21:09:00.000-08:00

The Reformist view in the republican party is articulated most fully by books, such as “Comeback” by David Frum and “Grand New Party” by Ross Douthat and Reihan Salam, as well as the various writings of people like Ramesh Ponnuru, Yuval Levin, Jim Manzi, Rod Dreher, Peggy Noonan, and David Brooks.

The Traditionalist view is promoted by guess whom? Rush Limbaugh and Sean Hannity, Grover Norquist (Americans for Tax Reform), Leonard Leo (Federalist Society) and Tony Perkins (Family Research Council).

If GOP hopes to ever regain lost political territory, it must support a reform within the party. The traditionalist camp will only keep the conservative movement from becoming again a force on the American political stage.

Pittsburgh KDKA Target Audience: Assisted Living Delusional Senior Citizens

2008-11-11T12:47:00.000-08:00

I get my world news from CNN, BBC, AP, WDUQ and many other online sources (i.e. Asia Times). For the local news I go to KDKA radio. When the WDUQ station broadcasts bad jazz, I switch to KDKA - nothing makes me laugh like those Limbaugh-status aspiring talk show hosts.

And among them, Kevin Miller (The Round Mound Of Sound) is a special case. But he is a shoe-in for his audience: very old people in assisted living centers who lost their minds long ago. Just imagine this: in the vaning days of the 2008 presidential campaign, most callers were opening with a declaration like this: I am a lifelong democrat but I will vote this year for the republican ticket.

This after 8 long and miserable years of the most incompetent republican administration ever! The darkest period in America's modern history started with a few ragtag idiots with box cutters attacking the Pentagon (for God's sake, USSR couldn't do that!), destroying the Twin Towers (symbol of America's financial might), and killing almost 3,000 people and ended with the American economy on life support, facing the most serious depression since The Great One almost a century ago.

Oh, forgot to mention that between these two disasters framing the George W Bush presidency, there were corruption, an unnecessary war-of-choice in Iraq with tens of thousands of children, women, and innocent men killed, abysmal incompetence in government response to the disaster caused by hurricane Katrina, torture, Abu Ghraib, arrogance, lies, disregard for expert advice, God crap, biggest government ever (under "small government" republican leadership!), biggest deficit ever (under a "financially conservative" president), biggest bankruptcies ever, lowered international status, and I have to stop here because it is not worth my time to keep writing about all this republican-made mess.

Yeah, lifelong democrats voting just this year for the republican ticket (that strange pair with the old, old guy and the empty-headed second-place beauty contest bimbo).

KDKA Radio with headquarters in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania has a few AM talk shows, some worse than others. Republican cheerleading, a libertarian, a God-knows-what-is-he-supporting host, and a few other syndicated shrill talkers.

I doubt that his IQ is as low as it seems on the show, despite the fact that his wife has left him, he failed as a teacher (or maybe he spared a lot of children from receiving a bad education), and he is a really huge round mound of fat. With a small head. Check his photos here.

He likes to call himself the round mound of sound. If you listen to his show (although I guarantee that you will regret wasting your time doing that), one would come up with a slight modification: round mound of noise.

Clinton County, Ohio Voted TWICE For G.W. Bush

2008-11-10T23:21:00.000-08:00

November 10, 2008: DHL job cuts devastate Ohio community

"... more than 8,000 employees are facing layoffs after DHL announced it will close its hub in Wilmington, Ohio."

""They're taking away everything from me, my family, my friends -- this whole town," DHL employee Sherry Barrett said as she wept during an interview."

Yeah, me too. And I blame those morons who "connected" with Bush and voted for him even when, after the first term, it was obvious that the guy was a fraud in terms of presidential skills.
Maybe Sherry Barrett, her family, and her friends voted Bush? Clinton County, Ohio went republican in 2000 and 2004.

What the most incompetent REPUBLICAN administration ever brought us? Two badly mismanaged wars (includes the unnecessary Iraq war, "war of choice"), a crippling recession, incredible corruption levels, the biggest bankruptcies ever, the biggest deficit ever, the biggest government ever, and a SOCIALIST purchase of worthless PRIVATE assets from Wall Street banks using PUBLIC money - Stalin would not have done it better!

Still waiting for at least 50 million apologies from those who, by voting twice for Bush, brought this country to its knees.

"Huge job cuts devastate Clinton County, Ohio."

Well, who cares? After all, those morons voted TWICE for the guy who actually put the economy on life support. I wouldn't shed a tear if those republican Ohio counties that have voted for (can't-wait-to-go-to-my-ranch-and-leave-all-this-mess-behind) president Bush have their economies wiped off from the "free market, no regulation, trickle down" economic map.

Now, the same REPUBLICAN counties are asking the central government for help. Yeah, those less-government-more-free-market dumbos have had enough of it and would like some big-brother government help. How ironic is that?

"Camille is a real personality, a real character. It's a major, integral role," Kurylenko tells the mag. "It's not just hanging out in the back while the action is going on. I think she's really interesting, especially for a Bond girl."

Haaaaa haaaaa haaaaa. That was a good one! Real personality? Character? Major role? Integral?
Girl, just shut up. As in Sarah Palin's case, sometimes it is better just to show up and shut up.

You may know Olga from her movie work in the films "Annulaire, L'", "Paris, je t'aime", and "Le Serpent". More recently, she starred in "Hitman". Olga will next be seen in her biggest role to date as a sexy Bond girl in the upcoming 007 movie "Quantum of Solace'".

Neugebauer The Plumber Does Not get It

Among a sea of dejection at McCain's concession speech (where Sarah "Lipstick" Palin was muzzled despite her request to speak), Kevin Neugebauer of Katy, Texas, said:

"Being a conservative, I think the Republican Party's kind of lost some of their identity of who they are. I really don't understand how it could happen ... I don't know if it's really sunk in. It's hard to understand."

After eight long and miserable years of a totally incompetent republican administration that has brought our country to its knees, Kevin "The Plumber" Neugebauer of Katy, Texas has cast his vote again for the republican ticket (made up by a very old man and an airheaded second-place beauty contest material).

Is Rockdale, Georgia the Epicenter Of Universal Stupidity?

2008-11-05T15:44:00.000-08:00

Just one sample of a Rockdale citizen's rantings (from Rockdale Citizen online):

"Regarding the husband being charged with raping his wife last week. Are you kidding me? What about; 'Cleave unto his wife and they shall be one flesh?' The dictionary defines rape as forced sexual relations against a person's will. By this definition, it is possible for a man to rape his wife? Why would a man want to rape his wife for that matter? Sounds to me like there's a number of issues between both the husband and the wife needs addressing! If you're going to jail for it, why not just rape the neighbor's wife? I got it, the assumption is made that all guilt falls on a rapist and one being raped is completely innocent, right? Unfortunately, powerful misguided domestic violence organizations have used their influence over the past 20 years to get their point across here in Rockdale County. And thanks to the arrival of feminism came the idea that a woman has full control over her body. If she doesn't want to have the child, they argue that she has the right to terminate the pregnancy because it is her body being used to nurture the child, right? If she doesn't want to have sex, then a husband does not have the right to request sex from her. However, these ideas are in direct contradiction to the plain teachings in I Corinthians 7. If a woman deliberately causes the harm then she was either abused, coerced, or insane. However, the truth is that children and men are actually the victims in most domestic violence matters and women are perpetrators of the abuse. The media betrays only way around."

Second-place beauty contest material Sarah Palin stood quietly - hint of tears in her eyes - by John McCain as he delivered his concession speech Tuesday night, while trying to stop the morons in the crowd from booing at the mention of Obama's name.

November 4th 2008 was supposed to be - finally - the day of her coronation. Last time she finished so close - second place in the Miss Alaska '84 beauty contest. Now, 28 years later, the first place seemed so close ... she could feel it ... dream it ... with a little help from her god she could wake up on Novemebr 5th as elected vice president of the USA.

Unfortunately, the American nation was not in the mood to put another airhead in high office after the abysmal years of the most incompetent republican administration in modern history.

Jeffrey Scott Shapiro And The KoolAid

Crying baby Shapiro writes on November 5th, 2008 in WSJ (read entire article here):

Bush's "approval rating is below 30% -- down from his 90% approval in the wake of 9/11. Mr. Bush has endured relentless attacks from the left while facing abandonment from the right.
This is the price Mr. Bush is paying for trying to work with both Democrats and Republicans."

Maybe it is the price to be paid by people who take jobs for which they are not prepared? The price of incompetence? Arrogance? Ignorance? "God told me" gibberish?

"Just as Americans have gained perspective on how challenging Truman's presidency was in the wake of World War II, our country will recognize the hardship President Bush faced these past eight years"

Bwaaa haaa haaaa! The hardship of being totally unprepared to lead a country. The hardship of having to think before making abysmal decisions. And one important fact: Truman did not start the 2nd World War. Bush intentionally took America into an absolutely unnecessary war in Iraq.

For the abysmal government response to the disaster caused by hurricane Katrina.

For an unnecessary war in Iraq, wasting about $10 Billion per month over more than 5 years.

For the destruction of America's international standing through inept policies, support of torture, and a total disregard for the needs of other nations.

For Stevens, Abramoff, Libby, Cunningham, and all other crooks and liars.

For attempting to bring an empty-headed bimbo with second-place beauty contest tricks as foreign policy experience to the office of the VPOTUS (vice president of the United States).

For smearing a great hero like McCain in 2000 (while choosing the monument of incompetence called George W Bush), only to embrace him eight years later as the GOP candidate from a field of radical, extremist, fanatic, compromised republicans.

America is still waiting for the republican "patriots" to finally be patriotic:

Obama is America's hope, and ours too!

"Though bombarded by a blizzard of last-minute negative advertising that should shame the Republican party, American voters held their nerve and elected Barack Obama as their new president to succeed George Bush." (Great Britain, The Guardian)

"Barack Obama’s election offers most non-Americans a sense that the imperial power capable of doing such good and such harm — a country that, they complain, preached justice but tortured its captives, launched a disastrous war in Iraq, turned its back on the environment and greedily dragged the world into economic chaos — saw the errors of its ways over the past eight years and shifted course.
They say the country that weakened democratic forces abroad through a tireless but often ineffective campaign for democracy — dismissing results it found unsavory, cutting deals with dictators it needed as allies in its other battles — was now shining a transformative beacon with its own democratic exercise."

From Record Surplus To Record Deficit: Republicans At Work

A mediocre guy on the GOP presidential ticket promising smaller government, fiscal responsibility, and no place for "nation building" in the foreign policy of the United States of America.

Eight abysmal years later, after republicans have voted three times for the same failure-in-chief (see my other posts regarding the triple vote), our country is in the middle of a nightmare.

Just a few of the many "accomplishments" of the most incompetent American administration in the modern history:

1. From record surplus (thank you, president Clinton) to the biggest ever deficit (thank you, president George W Bush).

2. The unbelievable use of PUBLIC MONEY ("just" $700 billion) by a republican administration to BUY WORTHLESS assets from PRIVATE BANKS. In other words, the transfer of wealth from our nation's purse to the pockets of greedy Wall Street fat cats. American SOCIALISM at its finest - by a Republican president!

3. The crash of housing market

4. Record gas prices - later brought down by the just announced RECESSION.

5. The utter incompetence shown during government's response to the Katrina disaster (Mike "Heck of a job" Brown, named FEMA chief by Bush based on Brown's background as president of the Arabian Horse Association).

6. Oh, by the way ... the unnecessary war in Iraq. And its management by a neocon poet named Rumsfeld.

Last year too, the Edison Electric Institute, which represents most US power generators, admitted to a House Select Committee in Washington DC that commercial deployment will require 25 years research costing at least $20bn.
And that was before the US administration last December canned the biggest R&D project on the technology anywhere in the world. It said it was too costly and hinted that, for all their green talk, industry wasn't prepared to back it." Read more at Guardian.co.uk.

A miserable end to a miserable presidency.

Eight long and nightmarish years of incompetent Republican administration end with a recession and a socialist purchase of bad/toxic/worthless asssets from private Wall Street banks using public money. Talk about redistribution of wealth!

Conservative liberal news busters

You want to die of horror at the realization that no matter what, the idiots will always outmaneuver you?

Go read the newsbusters.org, which calls itself "the leader in documenting, exposing and neutralizing liberal media bias."

Maybe they should call the web site liberalnewsbusters? Or conservative busters of liberal news? Did they bust any news form conservative outlets?

Or maybe they imply that only the liberal media deals with news, while the conservative media brings us what - BS? Prayers?

Fazal Fazlin, An American Patriot

2008-11-03T00:14:00.000-08:00

Voted twice for Bush, now his vote was for Obama. A republican who really means it when he says "COUNTRY FIRST!"

Eight years of an utterly incompetent republican administration has harmed the very fabric of the American nation. Only a flea-brained idiot could vote for four more years of republican madness (extra old maverick and empty-headed beauty contest bimbo).

"There’s something more, something unspoken. Reagan’s line was, “It’s morning again in America.” Bush has been about American dusk. Republicans are hard-headed but not to the point they want hope banished from the national vocabulary."

Republican And Dumber

2008-11-03T00:03:00.000-08:00

A poll by Democracy Corps shows that the Republicans (yeah, the same morons who voted for Bush over McCain in 2000 and two more times for the same clown in November 2000 and 2004) believe that Mr. McCain is losing “because the mainstream media is biased” rather than “because Americans are tired of George Bush.”

Well, eight long and miserable years of an incompetent Republican administration ending with a recession and a socialist purchase of bad/toxic/worthless asssets from private Wall Street banks using public money (talk about redistribution of wealth) are not enough to make the GOP zombies shut up and think for just a minute about placing the "country first" and leaving their pathetic egos behind.

The great republican revolution ends with a fart and it stinks!

Democrat my azz!

2008-11-02T23:33:00.000-08:00

"If Senator John McCain defies the polls and wins Pennsylvania, it will be in part because of voters like Harry Klemash, 67, a Democrat who supported Senator Hillary Rodham Clinton in the primary but is still not comfortable with Senator Barack Obama." Read article in New York Times

Yeah right! Like all those callers to the conservative talk shows on AM radio. Old people with an obviously limited education (to put it delicately) dclare with trembling voices that they are all democrats who voted all their lives democratic but this year they will vote republican. It's as if all those thousands of excited republicans who were calling the same AM radio stations in 2004 have lost their minds and now pretend to be lifelong democrats.

Democrat voting republican in November 2008 - yeah, it makes sense. After all, it was the most incompetent administration in the American history that brought the American economy to its knees. A REPUBLICAN administration. A failed REPUBLICAN president. Under his watch, a SOCIALIST purchase of bad/toxic assets - USING 700 BILLIONS OF PUBLIC MONEY - was made. To make it easier to understand for the flea-brained republicans, PUBLIC WEALTH WAS TRANSFERRED TO THE POCKETS OF GREEDY WALL STREET FAT CATS.

Bwaaaaaaa haaaaa haaaa. Talk about republican moral values!

No need to apologize for the disaster you brought upon America by choosing Bush over McCain in the 2000 GOP primary and voting for that clown two more times in November 2000 and 2004.

On November 4th 2008, please be the patriots you claim to be and, for the sake of this country, stay home!

Completely Idiot In Wyoming

2008-11-02T23:15:00.000-08:00

"This is Republican country, Dick Cheney's home state, and the prospect of Barack Obama becoming president - as the polls currently suggest - raises temperatures."

This is one of the states that voted twice (overwhelmingly) for the current (and not-a-day-to-soon to be forgotten) incompetent-in-chief. Yeah, the guy who brought the American economy to its knees. The republican clown whose administration took 700 HUNDRED BILLIONS PUBLIC MONEY to buy worthless bad/toxic assets from PRIVATE banks, rewarding the greedy fat cats on Wall Street with a SOCIALIST measure for which GOP will be most likely be punished on Election Day in just 48 hours.

Just listen to this Wyoming idiot:

"I'll probably take my money out of the stock market," adds Bob Brismeister, attending the rodeo with his wife."

Bwaaa haaaa haaaa! On which planet was Bob living during the last 2 months? Even if he has any money left, one must be an absolute ignorant to sell stocks when they are low. But hey, this is Wyoming - the land of the cowboy. The state that forgot to enter the 20th century, not to mention the 21st one (:-).

Arlen Specter, A Republican Scumbag

2008-11-02T01:25:00.000-07:00

"There are a "couple of hidden factors" in this election, said Specter. "The first is that people answer pollsters one way, but in the secrecy of the ballot booth, vote the other way."
Yes. That is what he said, to a chorus of hopeful affirmation. Arlen Specter was openly -- in public, into a microphone -- crossing his fingers, and hoping for racism." Read entire article at Salon.com.

Arlen Specter: never a bright politician. Oh, the moral values republicans. The abject smear machine. The small government guys -> the republican president named GW Bush ran the biggest government in the history of the USA. The fiscal conservative guys -> the same incompetent-in-chief brought upon this country the biggest deficit ever - after receiving from the previous president Clinton, a democrat the largest budget SURPLUS in history.

If any foreign individual would have done this to our country, that person would have been declared ENEMY OF THE STATE! But since he is our current president, we are supposed to just get over it.

Republican Incompetent: $500 Billion MORE DEFICIT In A Single Month!

2008-11-02T01:10:00.000-07:00

Is there any way to install the new president, whoever is the winner on November 4th, the next day?

This country really needs to get rid of the current vegetable-in-chief before we lose our shirts.

"Never before in U.S. history has the national debt increased as much and as rapidly as it has over the past month. Since September 30, the day the national debt hit the $10-trillion mark for the first time, the government has run up over $500 billion in new debt. That’s more than the federal deficit for the entire 2008 fiscal year, which ended September 30. And it’s the most rapid increase in the national debt ever: over half a trillion dollars in less than a month - 23 days to be exact."

"On the day President Bush was sworn in, the debt stood at $5.7 trillion. Less than eight years later, the it’s within days of having swelled $5 trillion dollars on his watch - an embarrassing milestone for a president who considers himself a conservative and an advocate of fiscal discipline. "

McCains' Own Spread The Wealth Comment

2008-11-01T19:19:00.001-07:00

"Seven years ago, as Brokaw pointed out, McCain himself was sounding redistributionist, complaining about President Bush's tax cuts. Campaigning against Bush in 2000, he said that "when you ... reach a certain level of comfort, there's nothing wrong with paying somewhat more." Obama has said no more than this, except to set the "level of comfort" at $250,000, which is pretty comfortable. " (read more at TIME)

But hey, he's an old man. He forgets where he is. He should look for a place in a senior care center instead of driving us crazy with that bimbo after him. Just check this really awful interview with Palin. Or make a Google search for "palin couric interview video" and die of laughter!

Or check her phone conversation with French president Sarkozy.

Holy s**t! And this dumb beauty contest material has a shot at the presidency of the United States of America? I love this country!

That Fateful Year 2000

2008-11-01T19:04:00.000-07:00

"On the Friday before the 2000 election, Americans woke to another headline that dominated the dwindling days: The night before, Bush acknowledged that he had been arrested for driving under the influence in 1976 in Maine.
Portland, Maine, television station WPXT, which had been covering an unrelated matter at the local courthouse, broke the story.
Aides to the then-Texas governor debated how to respond to the report and worried that it would reinforce the perception among many voters that he was a lightweight and a party boy late into adulthood." (read more at CNN)

Well, eight long, nightmarish years later that perception is now a documented fact.

The grandiosely titled "republican revolution" has just met its demise in 2008 with a socialist use of public money (by an inept republican administration) to buy worthless bad assets from PRIVATE banks. It's like transfering the wealth from the American nation to a few fat cats on Wall Street.

Well done!

Obama Obama Obama Obama

2008-11-01T14:27:00.001-07:00

I will vote for Obama because he seems ready to learn from his own mistakes, the mistakes of his party, and from the mistakes of all past presidents (including LBJ, Carter, and of course GW "Disaster" Bush).

Because he ran a very good, steady campaign.
Because he is young.
Because he is educated.
Because he started in life from absolutely nothing.
Because with him as president there will be no excuse for any African-American not to do their best to better themselves.

And because I am fed up with republicans' incompetence. Lies. Corruption. Hypocrisy. Extremism. Bible thumping. Gay bashing. The manipulation of the uneducated. The stupid "trickle down" economy concept. The transfer of the public wealth to the wealthiest Wall Street fat cats - talk about socialism (:-).

If using SEVEN HUNDRED BILLION PUBLIC money to buy worthless bad assets from greedy Wall Street PRIVATE banks is not socialism then the USSR was the most capitalist country in history and we should have Karl Marx looking at us from our $20 bill.

I know that an Obama presidency will be difficult. Democrats have their crooks too. With the economy put on life support by 8 long and miserable years of republican incompetence and corruption, it wil take years to recover. But we have no alternative. An old man who has better odds to not finish a 4-year term and an empty-headed beauty contest bimbo could be good material for a comedy show but thet are not fit for the White House.

McCain quote:

"I really didn't love America until I was deprived of her company ..."

This is the guy who attacks Obama for similar patriotic (yes, they are patriotic) comments.

The Godless Americans

2008-11-01T11:42:00.000-07:00

"The race for North Carolina's Senate seat has become one of the ugliest in the country ... Dole sparked a firestorm last week with a TV spot accusing Hagan of accepting money from Godless Americans Political Action Committee, a New Jersey-based group that promotes rights for atheists and the separation of church and state ... Dole, who speaks often about prayer and faith, is gambling her re-election bid by raising religion in the campaign's final days against Hagan, a Presbyterian church elder who teaches Sunday school ... The latest from North Carolina pollsters indicates that Sen. Elizabeth Dole is trailing even further behind Democratic rival Kay Hagan in a seeming backlash against the incumbent's "Godless" ad" (quotes from FoxNews.com - read the entire article here)

It seems to me that the Godless Americans want to keep the God issue from interfering with the governing system in this country. What's wrong with that?

Take any Vatican Pope and reborn it again in the Middle East - he'd probably be right now drinking tea with Osama Bin laden plotting the killing of all Christians. Or at the least, he would think that Islam is the true religion and Christians are just fools.

Look at that Sen(ile?) Dole. Is her religious way better than the Presbyterian's one? Or maybe she involuntarily makes the point that ANY indoctrination is bad for everyone?

I grew up under communists and (thank God! (:-)) skipped the religious indoctrination. Just look at these religious and bigoted American zombies. Fortunately, during all those horrific years, Radio Free Europe (hint, hint) helped me and many others to also skip the communist indoctrination. I don't have anything against religious people, after all religion has sometimes an undeniable positive influence (many convicted killers are born again Christians in jails around the country). But don't try to shove it down my throat PLEASE!

I am a normal person, I work, I think, I have friends (many of them religious individuals), I love this country as much as you do (maybe even more since I grew up under an awful communist regime and I can appreciate at true value the greatness of this nation). Why do I have to pray to some piece of stone or painting? My three daughters are now in high school - they like science and real history ... there was no way they would believe the stories in the bible. There you go, three more godless Americans.

Did I go to a church and asked everyone inside to forget about their God? No.

Again, just think of it: if you, the reader, were not born in the Land Of The Free but in Iran, do you really think that you'd be the christian you are now (or whatever religion you believe in)?

To me, the real, true believers are those people who refuse the medical care (brought to a medical office near any of us by the real Science) even when it would help them live 20 years more! They just pray to their God and most of the times die quickly. (of course I think that it is awful).

The church used to kill the founders of the medical profession who tried to use cadavers to learn about the workings of the human body. How ironic that the last Pope benefited of the latest medical breakthroughs until his last breath!

Wynton Hall (Of Shame)

2008-11-01T09:04:00.000-07:00

Young and smarter than anyone else. Wynton Hall already knows that

"should Mr. Obama lose the election or win it with narrower than expected margins, we can be sure that those in the mainstream media and Mr. Obama’s supporters (one in the same, really) will ignore the Spiral of Silence in favor of the so-called “Bradley Effect.” (article here)

Cocky. And wrong. Just like Bush.

The republican party voted Bush over McCain in 2000, Bush over Gore same year, Bush over Kerry in 2004. After 8 nightmarish years of incredibly incompetent "neoconservative" leadership and with the economy bleeding to death, Americans are ready to give the boot to the GOP offering, especially when the stuff looks and feels fake and stale.

Spiral Of Silence? Yeah, it worked in my former country - under communists. It worked in the USA immediately after 9/11 (people losing their jobs just because they expressed opinions contrary to the mainstream - remember the vicious GOP attack machine?).

But come on. If we had a cabbage head sitting in the White House for the last 8 years (literally doing nothing (:-)) our country would have avoided at least an unnecessary war in Iraq and the infamous Abu Ghraib scandal. Maybe the handling of the Katrina by the administration would have been the same (:-). Not sure about Abramoff, Rumsfeld, Cunningham, Stevens, the gay in the airport restroom, the famous "moral values" preacher paying for gay sex, and all the other hypocrites making up a good chunk of the GOP.

If Obama does not win, or if he wins with a narrower margin than expected, it is only due to the REPUBLICAN SMEAR MACHINE that - believe it or not - CAN TRANSFORM NORMAL AMERICANS IN ZOMBIES LIKE THESE.

And don't get me started again on the economy - my previously good looking pension has just performed a quick disappearing act - I have nothing left. Thank you, moral values people. Thank you, neoconservatives. Thank you, Georgie. And thank you John for voting 90% with that clown BUT NO THANKS! We don't need any other empty-headed bimbo in high office. We had enough.
One note: I have to give Wynton what's his: he gets paid for his "conservative" writings. I am a volunteer with an anti-phony streak. The free market at work ... maybe Hall is not a bad guy ... maybe he must write all that worthless stuff in order to get his monthly check. Maybe he does not know anything else beside writing ... like how to create/make something that it is actually useful. Suggestion: picking up the litter after a GOP rally.

And get this:

"Wiley signed Wynton Hall for his fourth book, "The Right Words: Great Republican Speeches that Shaped History" (2007)." (from his bio)

This is a must-have book for all late-night comedians out there since it probably contains some of GW "Nukelar" Bush's speeches that "shaped" our recent history into a nightmare.

Conservatives From Outer Space 1

2008-11-01T07:57:00.000-07:00

Thomas Sowell is a Stanford University-based conservative who, less than 100 hours before the most important day in the 2008 electoral year in the United States, writes on Townhall.com:

"After the big gamble on subprime mortgages that led to the current financial crisis, is there going to be an even bigger gamble, by putting the fate of a nation in the hands of a man whose only qualifications are ego and mouth? Barack Obama has the kind of cocksure confidence that can only be achieved by not achieving anything else."

Excuse me???

I will go fast over the fact that this "stanfordon"* has probably voted three times in a row for George "Calamity" Bush (see my other posts about the three vote issue) and therefore has his own share of responsibility for the dire situation our country finds itself at the end of 8 miserable years of republican leadership.

Note how Thomas carefully avoids the correct narrative:

"after the abysmal incompetence of the current republican administration that brought our economy to its knees, the American people who voted against this unqualified president (plus a considerable number of those who actually voted for him and lived to regret it) are ready to stop the bleeding and hand the presidency to the better of the two candidates."

Other funny Sowell lines:

"Anyone who has actually had to take responsibility for consequences by running any kind of enterprise-- whether economic or academic, or even just managing a sports team-- is likely at some point to be chastened by either the setbacks brought on by his own mistakes or by seeing his successes followed by negative consequences that he never anticipated. The kind of self-righteous self-confidence that has become Obama's trademark is usually found in sophomores in Ivy League colleges-- very bright and articulate students, utterly untempered by experience in real world."

One could swear that in fact he is talking about George W "Better Not Born" Bush (one must take out the words successes, bright, and articulate in the quote above to fit Bush's profile though)

Thomas Sowell, why don't you take a long, very long sabbatical and get your marbles back in order?

Obama Campaign Money = Half The American Economy

McCain's Devolution

2008-10-31T22:11:00.000-07:00

There is an article on BBC News site titled "McCain's evolution". But if you read it carefully, you'd get to the same conclusion: the title should be "McCain's Devolution". I bet that the author ( Matt Frei ) is a conservative of sorts ... and an admirer of GW "The Disaster" Bush.

Just to get a taste of the article: "So Mr McCain went to the other extreme and chose a pit-bull with lipstick." Haaaaa haaa haaaa ... pit-bull? Rather an empty-headed bimbo playing beauty contest tricks (see the now famous winking). But hey, Matt Frei is entitled to his tastes ... if he only would spare us the "Obama was frozen like a moose caught in Governor Palin's cross hairs".

Huh?

Peter Wehner, a Loser

2008-10-31T21:41:00.000-07:00

I don't know Peter Wehner. I have never heard his name until today, while scanning the news on the BBC web site. The title of an article posted there grabbed my attention: Viewpoint: The case against Obama.

You can read the article here if you want. But here is the funny fact: Peter Wehner is a former deputy assistant to President Bush.

Probably that explains why this president has the lowest approval rate EVER! With such narrow-minded assistants, no wonder that the country is in its worst shape in decades.

Probably this guy advised the president during Katrina. He probably recommended invading Iraq just for fun (they - the neocons - call it "projecting the American power around the world").

Maybe he gave the economic advice that led to a an unprecedented socialist purchase by the American government of bad assets from private banks with SEVEN HUNDRED BILLION DOLLARS OF PUBLIC MONEY.

Or maybe he was the assistant who helped Bush make sure that the radical Hamas gets the power through democratic elections in the Palestinian parliamentary elections.

What about him being the speech trainer behind the awful public speaking skills demonstrated by GW Bush?

This is just a small sample of worthless "expert" opinion from Wehner (from the article):

"In fact, Senator Obama has been judged by the non-partisan National Journal as the most liberal member of the Senate."

Non-partisan? National Journal? What is he talking about? This Wehner is now paid by guess who? The Ethics and Public Policy Center, a "socially-conservative" group. To get you an idea about the group, the clueless Rick Santorum is also a member of it. Enough said.

Whatever assistance Peter Wehner provided to the worst American president in modern history, the fact that he is a former speaks a lot.

The case against Obama? As I said in another post, the republican party can have Jesus and Mother Teresa on the ticket and still I would not vote for them, period.

Palin Destroys 5 Colleges

2008-10-31T18:39:00.000-07:00

Most of the times, universities and colleges in the United States are proud to highlight the names of high ranking public servants and other famous people who graduated from their benches.

In Sarah Palin's case, there are 5 (five) colleges that probably lost status in the eye of public opinion. Yes, that's right! She jumped from college to college at least once every year ... no wonder she sounds like an empty-headed bimbo at a beauty contest when asked common sense questions.

I would be really curious to read her first college application - would bet that somebody else wrote it for her (unless the college that admited her first is giving out diplomas for a fee).

McCain's 2nd Day As President

2008-10-31T12:28:00.000-07:00

URGENT STATE OF THE UNION ADDRESS

My fellow citizens,

This is an extremely urgent state of the union address. As a candidate, I promised you that if you vote for me I will bring more and better change than the change promised by my oponent, Barrack Obama.

Yesterday was a roller coaster day for me. I was officially seated - by my assistants - at the desk in the Oval Office (which by the way gives me the creeps) and let me tell you this: it is a fine desk (wink), too bad that I am sooo damn old!

Since all my people were outside looking for Sarah's kids, it was impossible for me to get up and go to bed (I tried to stay awake until 7PM, usually I hit the pillow at 6:30PM). You all know that since November 4th my arthritis has been acting up ... that bitch (the arthritis). It's good that Sarah is a good natured, folksy woman - she helps me a lot getting around this huge place and she gives me good advice too, like when she suggested that we bring some caribou to roam the front lawn.

Anyway, since I was stuck at the desk I took a look at the papers left in a drawer by my predecessor (by the way, it was full of pretzel crumbs and pieces).

Jeeesus! Freaky stuff - economic indicators, financial forecasts, international political estimates.

I have decided to talk directly to you about the grave situation our country is in.

The guy who just left this house f****d us up, man! It blew my mind (not that it needed any blowing after my hospital stay last month).

My fellow citizens, we are in a big s**t. It took 8 long years and hard work, but little Georgie has proved himself in the end. I mean ... it is not an easy task to be a Republican president and use public money to buy bad assets from the Wall Street boys. Or it is? Whatever ...

Anyway, where was I?

(Long break ... McCain blinks a lot ... disoriented ...looks left, right, left ...)

Where am I?

(some people come to his side and shout into his ear - you're the president, sir! etc)

And so on ... you get the idea.
Maybe it would be good for SNL or Stewart.

Trust The Army PR?

2. Military Hid the Truth of Friendly Fire That Killed Pat Tillman

3. Private Lynch was captured when her convoy became lost in An Nasariyah, Iraq, on March 23, 2003. Following her release, the Defense Department disseminated an account of her capture and rescue that turned out to be inaccurate and misleading.

Poor soldier ... it really hurts!

2008-10-30T09:43:00.000-07:00

I have just watched the YouTube video clip titled "Dear Mr. Obama". The owner of the YouTube account where the clip is posted says:

"We have over 700 comments posted now, and approving each one has been laborous and intersting."

" I promised this man's father I would ensure that no disrepectful posts would be approved. I have kept my word."

A note: the writer needs to improve his/her spelling - see laborous instead of laborious, intersting instead of interesting, disrepectful instead of disrespectful in just 2 or 3 lines. I wonder if weneedmccain (it seems that the soldier in video is not the same with weneedmccain, the apparent owner of the YouTube account) is one of those "patriots" chanting USA! USA! and asking immigrants to learn English while they skipped most of the language classes in middle school. BTW, I know that my grammar is not perfect either - please let me know if you find any mistakes in my post.

Watching the young Iraq veteran departing from the camera, I am really sad to see that he lost the lower half of his left leg in an unnecessary war. His life will be probably very difficult. Even sadder, he still does not understand the single big issue regarding the Iraq war: no reasonable person (democrat, independent or republican) is against freedom for all the nations in the world, come on!

You must be either blinded by a miserable partisanship (I suspect this is the case here), or really stupid to not understand that the real issue is THE WAY our failure-in-chief took our country to an expensive war of choice - and I will not address here the absolutely abysmal incompetence shown during the prosecution of it.

U.N., Germany, France, Clinton administration ... all had the same intel on Iraq and chose not to attack that country because a war did not make any sense - and they were right! There was absolutely no reason to start another war with Iraq, a country that barely kept afloat under the heavy international sanctions.

To keep it simple, let's imagine that Bush told the American people something like this: My fellow Americans, I feel in my guts that we must go to war right now to bring freedom to the Iraqi people - we have heard some really nasty stuff about the way his sons are treating ordinary Iraqi citizens. Plus they have a lot of oil and Cheney tells me that we need that.

Probably 100% of the American population would have asked the president something like this: but why only Iraq? Let's bring freedom to N Korea, Sudan and a few more African countries, and all those -stan countries in Asia. Think about it: more people die violently in Africa in a day than in Saddam's Iraq in a year! Let's free the world! USA! USA!

Just joking ... of course the American people would not have approved sending the American army in a global mission to bring freedom everywhere - not because they don't want to, but because it is practically impossible for any single nation (even if that nation is USA) to sustain such a huge effort. Just look at the huge amount of money and lives wasted in Iraq and that country is still in shambles AFTER 5 LONG YEARS! Remember the extremely successful first Gulf war - prosecuted by smart people and with comprehensive international support?

The American people feel that they were misled by an unqualified president who wanted - more than anything - to prove himself, to be seen by future generations as the savior of the world at any price, even at the expense of this great nation.

Again, no one is against bringing freedom to all the places that need it. Americans are against incompetents like Bush, Mike "Heck Of A Job" Brown, and Rumsfeld. And against crooks like Cunningham, Abramoff, and Stevens. And against a republican administration that uses public money to spread the wealth among the fat cats of Wall Street to the tune of SEVEN HUNDRED BILLIONS DOLLARS - in fact a socialist-like state intervention in a "self-regulating" free market run amok. The trickle-down-economy theory along with its promoter, a republican tax-increase president called Ronald "Read My Lips" Reagan, are going down the tubes ... you know which ones.

Americans are also against (after enduring 8 miserable years of institutionalized incompetence) installing a winking, empty-headed, 2-nd place beauty contest finalist in the office of the vice president.

Young man: I know it hurts, but the truth is, you did not have to live the rest of your life without a leg. The war in Iraq was totally unnecessary for the security of the United States. On the contrary, it made it easier for the radical islam to recruit new followers. And think about the tens of thousands of Iraqi children, women, and innocent men who died as a result of this misguided war.

Hope you all the best, you honorably did what you were asked to do. Too bad that you will not be able to fight for our country if/when a real danger actually threatens it.

If my tone sounds a little bit harsh, please forgive me - I am just another American fed up with phony election-time issues.

2008-10-30T09:03:00.000-07:00

I know that without unions workers get squeezed like sponges. I also know that unions have a bad reputation after being infiltrated by mobsters/mafia.

After reading carefully the materials available on the AFL-CIO web site I still do not understand how a secret vote would harm worker's right to form a union.

It seems to me that in fact it would only harm the power of the union leaders over their members. But I might be wrong - if you have a simple example to illustrate how this works (even a fictional one), please illuminate me.

Not An Aussie And Happy

Australia will implement an Internet censorship system. Austria jails a historian. Yeah, the guy questioned the Holocaust facts, but what's next: arrested for criticizing the government officials? It's his opinion, for God's sake (if there is a God out there). Not his fault that there are idiots who are ready to believe anything thrown at them.

That's why I am happy to finally be an American citizen. In my opinion, there is no better governing system than the American one, with its freedom of speech and separation of powers. Not perfect, but still the best.

American Economy Shrinks Like ...

2008-10-30T08:00:00.000-07:00

... George's. No, not George Bush. The other one, George Constanza from the Seinfeld show.

Returning to the Bush administration, it has done everything during the past 8 years to keep the housing market bubbling - it was the only way to mask its utter economic incompetence.

Now the US economy is halfway to the standard definition of a recession, which is two consecutive quarters of negative growth.

Worried about their place in history, the Bushies probably hoped to keep everything on life support and pass the vegetable to the next presidential team. Now that the bubble has burst and the economy is in an out-of-control downward spiral, here is the solution that the current republican administration came up with: a SOCIALIST purchase of bad assets from private institutions using public money!

Spreading the public wealth among the Wall Street fat cats - way to go, Georgie!

Ted "7-Felony" Stevens of Alaska

2008-10-30T07:44:00.000-07:00

“We need Ted.”

To get an idea of how messed up the people of Alaska are, consider this:

Ted Stevens, the republican senator recently convicted on seven felony counts (now waiting for his sentence) receives a hero's welcome in Palin's state.

Now we understand why Sarah was seen as a good pick by McCain: in Bush's f****d-up America. An airheaded beauty contest bimbo wearing $150,000 fashion items while pretending to "connect" with Joe 6-pack and Jane-the-waitress is quite the perfect candidate for the position of vicepresident of the (so far) most powerful nation on Earth.

Spend On Visa, It's Free!

Do you have credit cards? The balance is less than the available credit? This is the time to enjoy free money - go ahead, indulge yourself. Spend on credit like there is no tomorrow, because there is a tomorrow and it comes with debt forgiveness - up to 40% of it.

In other words, for every $100 of credit card money you spend, you'll only have to pay back $60. To qualify, you must be heavily in debt, so make sure you don't lose the opportunity of a lifetime.

Better than communism. Maybe we are already in the United Heavens of America?
