Well-written, and flaming.

Great as always, BB!

Duffman

Yeah, what Sparcoil sez!

Duffman

Speaking of Bozo's THIS is getting ridiculous!
Why don't you LP's try and make yourselves useful by loudly lobbying our EXIT from this.

Puget Sound

Spot On Duff!
How come we don't hear anything out of Spar-Coil pie-hole about the anti war bumper sticker or protests against the war.

Makes you wonder if all the anti-war talk was just politics played on the backs of our military rather than a genuine anti-war movement.

If anything, Pres Obama has ramped up the war. The 'good war' into Afghanistan. The one we can't win. Yet nothing from the Anti-War crowd.

'They' get all preachey about 'torture' of a few high value targets with non lethal tactics such as waterboarding YET say nothing about shooting a Predator drone missle into a home. Because we don't have actionable intel we are actually killing more innocent lives. When the bad guys run into a home it's not like the women and children who reside their have a say in the matter. It's using a sledge hammer to take out a cockroach when you can get it done a lot easier.


PS: you willing to help Chucks get that web-divorce?

From Charlie Cook, one of the best Political Reporters around. Why Dems should be terrified and why they are double clutching on Health Care despite their majorities that could make passage of pretty much anything they wanted a slam dunk. So why the pull out?

"Even in the best of times, Congress is unpopular. And now voters see Obama as having sent suggestions rather than proposals to the Hill, staking his future and reputation on a body that they hold in low regard. (On foreign-policy matters, where Congress plays a small role, Obama's job-approval ratings remain quite good. It's on the domestic side that his numbers are dismal.)

With 14 months to go before the 2010 midterm election, something could happen to improve the outlook for Democrats. However, wave elections, more often than not, start just like this: The president's ratings plummet; his party loses its advantage on the generic congressional ballot test; the intensity of opposition-party voters skyrockets; his own party's voters become complacent or even depressed; and independent voters move lopsidedly away. These were the early-warning signs of past wave elections. Seeing them now should terrify Democrats."

You bet! Gotta take care of our leader.

Duffman

Here's a rallying acronym for you LP's to get this effort (to get out of Iraq & Agfhan) going.
L.I.A.R
Leave Iraq & Afghanistan Rapidly

Sorry if tht conjures up any relationship to who might be in charge now.

oh yeah, 'All Hail Chucks!'

Never You Mind

It's easy to tell the two apart: Ken Jennings is the smart one.

Duffman

Wow! Any inside scoop on the tear-down of those radio towers in Sno Co last night Bla'M ?

AuthenticAndrew

They'll definately find the person(s) who did it. What with having an earth mover involved and being dumb enough to leave a forensic rich sign all the while belonging to a narrow set of suspects (people who live within eye shot of the towers). I doubt someone who wiould use such poor judgement would have properly covered their tracks (literally and figuratively). When they go knocking on doors this afternoon the cRaZy!!! nutball who answers the door screaming obscenities to the police about his merican rights will probably become the prime suspect. I can't wait to see what this looony motherfucker looks like. I'll bet two bits he didn't vote for Obama.

Duffman

If it's in fact the ELF group (as was hinted in a sign left at the crime site) - don't most ELF members vote Democrat?

Coiler

Andrew, I think whoever did this doesn't vote at all. They knew enough how to use a piece of construction equip. Probably someone in the neighborhood.

Duffman

So, I'm curious...how do you decide whom to be and when...is there some logic or possibly physical localtion or convenience involved in your decision...like which computer you're on?...Hehe

Duffman

You have to remember, there is a top appointed 'environmental' official in the Obama Administration who apparently believes there is "evidence that suggests high-level government officials may have deliberately allowed the September 11th attacks to occur." I'm sure HE voted.

Duffman

It does appear that THEY are certainly trying to take credit for it...hmmmm; now how did they vote? I know! I know! [smile]

AuthenticAndrew

The ELF had nothing to do with it. The issue is between the station owners and the nearby residents. I don't even think there is an "ELF" as such, it's just something young arsonists scrawl in order to feel dignified in their criminal behavior.

If there was an "ELF" and they were involved this would be an idiotic target to hit because it would dilute their message to have done something that served mor than one agenda. Like "ELF, we protect the envirnoment and we'll do your taxes!.. or solve your petty land use disputes!"

The list of people who would want, and be capable, of doing this is probably very short. That said, it's often hard to pin evidence to a suspect but I don't believe they will have any trouble in this case.

It's funny because when I read about the tower dispute a couple months ago I was thinking "I wonder if an angry neighbor will just knock them over with a couple well placed explosives" in the same way that some people will ring their neighbor's trees in the middle of the night to improve their own view. And this is America, we don't disappoint. It so happens that an earth mover is easier to acquire than dynamite. Who knew?

nevets

Coiler, I know you advocated the "crushing" and "cutting off" the balls of every Republican but cannibalism. Thats sick.

KS

"You have to remember, there is a top appointed 'environmental' official in the Obama Administration who apparently believes there is "evidence that suggests high-level government officials may have deliberately allowed the September 11th attacks to occur." I'm sure HE voted."

Van Jones, said environmental official has denied these charges of being a "9-11 Truther", by saying he didn't know what was in the petition for "Truthers" that what he signed at that time.
He also apologized for calling Republicans "A-holes" and admitted that was inappropriate. If you believe his claims, I have a Viaduct running through Seattle that I'd like to sell you.

Coiler

You are being played by the master. This is fun.

nevets

Uhhh Coiler, it was you who voted for him. So that would mean you and the rest of the Neo-Coms were are the ones being played.

Let me try it this way so maybe you can understand better. Coiler voted for Obama. Coiler likes his master. Coiler is happy truther in White House. Coiler wants precious. Obama needs the ring. Coiler wants to please his master and get the ring from Frodo.

KS

You are being dumbed down and sucked in by the media-government complex.
What fun to watch this slo-mo train wreck.

KS

Coil-spar, get your noses out of the posterior of the Barack.
