Hugh Hewitt ate this up today [in the form of a waffle], then drank Obama's milkshake. Drank it all up. Slurp.

He is such a poor choice. He doesn't even know who he is, so he's blindly aligned himself with myriad questionable associates in an attempt to grow politically. He will be so easy to beat, but it will seem unfair to those who buy into his froth.

10 Kosh's Shadow  Tue, Apr 22, 2008 9:07:31pm

He hangs around revolutionaries.
As I've been saying, his "change" means revolution.
Or, in other words, the Obamanation is revolting.

Obama replied that Ayers had done reprehensible things forty years ago, when Obama was eight years old, and scoffed at the idea that Ayers's ancient history could be relevant.

I see. So then nevermind anything done by Hitler, Stalin, Mao. And by 2051, nevermind that incident on 9-11-2001, 'cause that was so yesteryear and not relevant.

bill ayers said the day after 9-11, that he wished he could have set off more bombs. this guy is a crazy pos. one of many in obama's life, who he just can't quite explain or distance himself from. he doesn't want to. he could throw these bums under the bus. he knows how to do that. look what he did to his gramma.

re: #9 WKSNL

Agreed. The LGF crowd realizes how beatable Obama is, yet the media and the larger Dem hordes think they are entitled to POTUS after the Bush years. The media will continue they're activist journalism, slide further down the sinkhole they've created for themselves; the Dems will nominate Obama as not to lose to their death grip on the black vote and keep in accordance with pc tyranny. The media has lulled them into a false sense of security. Obama will get decimated in November. The question is whether Dems will reflect on how they got to the point of nominating hard leftists [Obama], or shout racism. Actually, the question is a given.

42 realwest  Tue, Apr 22, 2008 9:23:18pm

I don't know why anyone would be shocked at what
Ayers and Dohrn said. It is entirely consistent with their world view from back in the 60's. That they are both repelled by the monster of America, and that they each espoused and - at least in Dohrn's case - engaged in violence and murder or attempted murder is not the sort of thing one would expect sociopaths and psychopaths to change one whit.
My first ex-wife had a first cousin who was a member in good standing with the Weather Underground and he had himself managed to stay underground. He was a hero to my ex-wife's family (or at least the Communist side of it) who were Jews, obviously in name only. I learned a helluva lot about Ayers and Dorhn's type before they all found out that I was a Vietnam Veteran. When my then fiancee announced that fact the room went silent and - to me - Stone Cold. Finally one of them worked up the nerve to ask me how I could murder "innocent" Vietnamese. I responded that I had only killed people who were trying to kill me or mine (my brothers in arms as it were) and what was their cousin's excuse?
No one answered that and my fiancee and I departed rather hastily from what had been a Passover Seder that in and of itself was a joke.
People who are ready to kill Americans and who hate America are not going to change their ways no matter how much time goes by.

True, but gee whiz, isn't time supposed to at least give us some perspective? Even if you think the cause was right...methods could have been different.

re: #51 brainwizard73
To acknowledge errors in judgement when you were much younger is common among honest and decent people. Ayers and Dorhn are neither honest nor decent. A LARGE part of their way of bringing truth to power was the absolute RUSH they got from what they did or planned to do.
They were not motivated by a desire to see a more just America or anything like that; they were motivated by blood lust. If you had given them the choice to end the War in Vietnam overnight or to go out and kill someone, they would have chosen the latter.
That's just one of the many things I learned from the cousins, aunts and uncles of the mofo who is still underground somewhere.

After the fall of the Soviet Union, and the opening of the archives, you would think that the rock-solid evidence of systemic brutality and oppression documented from every corner of the communist world would change a few minds, yet they continue to see the dreams of their youth as the first step to a better life. They are the very definition of "ideologically blind".

re: #62 wolfie Hey wolife - yeah I'm in N.C. now. There aren't many rumors around and no one seems to question how Obama could possibly have a "scheduling conflict" with a debate in N.C. with Hillary.
He's gonna carry North Carolina easily. There is a huge Black American vote down here, overwhelmingly Democrats and, as he apparently has done in EVERY primary, Obama can expect to win over 90% of the Black vote.
BTW - I was screaming at my TV tonight, watching FOX primary coverage - they talked, at some length, about how well Hillary had done among white women and white men - leaving the clear inference that race had a major part in Obama's losing. I wanted to know why didn't they mention Obama's getting 92% of the Black vote in Pa as being equally racist. Mom changed the channel to protect my BP! LOL!
But I think it is a legitimate question: if, as Barry says, this election for the Dem nomination isn't about race, then why is he getting over 90% of the Black vote?

I believe America owes Barack Obama a debt of gratitude. If it had not been for him, Hillary would have been nominated by acclamation by now, and the media would have been solidly behind her. Now, the Democrat Party gets to tear itself apart, alienate its core constituencies, and twist its supporters in the media into knots.

You know, a thought just hit me. When a person knows they are going to fail at something (i.e. Losers) will focus their attention on something no human can possibly be expected to succeed at. That way they become martyrs or "idealists" or some other nice-nice label.

The moonbats truly do not think that democratizing the ME is possible, so they focus on ageing of the planet --which no human can affect. So they are nice-nice people.

What a F*cked-up way to live.

On the science front --isn't the universe expanding? So, in theory, we are moving away (albiet very slowly) from the sun. Should we be worried about global cooling?

The expansion of the universe is only at a large scale; the Earth isn't moving away from the Sun. But in a couple of billion years, the Sun will become a red giant and fry the Earth, so expansion would be good.

OK. Now some jack-off "tax advisor" is complaining about the $58k pension John McCain receives from the Navy. As reported by the L.A. Slimes.

McCain has twice developed melanoma, a potentially deadly form of skin cancer.

The fact that he is legally designated with a disability pension may raise further questions.

"It is a legitimate question to ask about the commander in chief: Is he fit to serve," said Robert Schriebman, a senior Pentagon tax advisor and tax attorney who recently retired as a judge advocate for a unit of the California National Guard.

If McCain can hike across the Grand Canyon, then why should he be getting disability payments from the government that are tax-exempt, Schriebman asked.

This will backfire.

McCain spent 5 1/2 years as a prisoner of war in Hanoi. After he was released in 1973, he returned home on crutches and began a painful physical rehabilitation. He later regained flight status and commanded a Navy squadron before retiring from the service in 1981.

McCain shattered his knee and broke both arms when he was shot down over North Vietnam in 1967.

So he gets $58k per year? Can you imagine how much John F'n Kerry would be demanding had he been a prisoner for one week?

PS

For those who want to know who "Mark whatshisname" is, it's Mark Ruud. He was spokesperson for SDS before the Weathermen hijacked their radical agenda in favor of one much more radical.

They became truly terrorists when they became the Weather Underground, and planned to kill hundreds if not thousands of American citizens in bomb attacks. It was only after three of their own splodeydoped in a "factory accident" that they renounced their terror campaign on America.

Keep that in mind when you vote for Barack Obama.

He's very sad - in great distress. They've had to bring in Tom Brokaw to give a historical context of it all. Keith Olberman asks Tim Russert about Indiana and North Carolina, and Russert says that Hillary will be able to fund ads.

But Russert says (as a true Obama fan), that Clinton has a hard row to hoe, and that if she can pull it off in NC and Indy, then it will go on!

Yikes, Matthews said Hillary has "slowed down the democrats' progress"!

And bashes the republicans in the process.

From David Horowitz at FrontPage: [excerpt]

In 1969, Ayers and his wife convened a "War Council" in Flint Michigan, whose purpose was to launch a military front inside the United States with the purpose of helping Third World revolutionaries conquer and destroy it. Taking charge of the podium, dressed in a high-heeled boots and a leather mini-skirt – her signature uniform – Dorhn incited the assembled radicals to join the war against "Amerikkka" and create chaos and destruction in the "belly of the beast." Her voice rising to a fevered pitch, Dohrn raised three fingers in a "fork salute" to mass murderer Charles Manson whom she proposed as a symbol to her troops. Referring to the helpless victims of the Manson Family as the "Tate Eight" (the most famous was actress Sharon Tate) Dohrn shouted:

Dig It. First they killed those pigs, then they ate dinner in the same room with them, they even shoved a fork into a victim’s stomach! Wild!

Embarrassed today by this memory, but unable to expunge it from the record and unwilling to repudiate her terrorist deeds, Dorhn resorts to the lie direct. "It was a joke," she told the sympathetic Times reporter, Dinitia Smith; she was actually protesting America’s crimes. "We were mocking violence in America. Even in my most inflamed moment I never supported a racist mass murderer." In 1980, I taped interviews with thirty members of the Weather Underground who were present at the Flint War Council, including most of its leadership. Not one of them thought Dohrn was anything but deadly serious. Outrageous nihilism was the Weatherman political style. As soon as her tribute to Manson was completed, Dohrn was followed to the Flint platform by another Weather leader who ranted, "We’re against everything that’s ‘good and decent’ in honky America. We will loot and burn and destroy. We are the incubation of your mothers’ nightmares."

So Jimmuh, how'd that Hamas visit pay off for ya?

Carter won no specific concessions from Hamas. He defended his trip during remarks Monday in Jerusalem. He said he failed to convince the top Hamas boss, Khaled Mashaal, that he could gain international goodwill if he stopped rocket fire on Israel for one month.

"I did the best I could," Carter said. "They turned me down, and I think they're wrong."

In an interview with NPR, Carter said the State Department did not warn him off the trip. A State Department spokesman in Washington took issue with that on Monday, and Rice was more blunt in her account Tuesday.

What? Jimmuh lied about the State dept?

Rice, attending a regional meeting on Iraq's security and future, contradicted Carter's assertions that he never got a clear signal from the State Department. Rice told reporters that the U.S. thought the visit could confuse the message that the U.S. will not deal with Hamas.

"I just don't want there to be any confusion," Rice said. "The United States is not going to deal with Hamas and we had certainly told President Carter that we did not think meeting with Hamas was going to help" further a political settlement between Israel and the Palestinians.

Jimmuh, ya still think them Hamas folks want peace?

Carter said top Hamas leaders told him during seven hours of talks in Damascus over the weekend that they are willing to live next to Israel, but a top Hamas official said the group would never outright recognize the Jewish state.

wow..what a dick. Not that I tried it, but I should be able to hike across the Grand Canyon. I should also expect my disability check every month for the simple fact that due to my service, there are parts of me which no longer work correctly and 1 which was is longer in existance. And the 58k is a pension as well as disability which he is 100% entitled to.

Wait a minute? Could Hugo possibly be right?

"The problem is not the production of food ... it is the economic, social and political model of the world. The capitalist model is in crisis."

The self-styled revolutionary and Cuba ally has won popular support by subsidizing food for the OPEC nation's poor majority, although his administration struggled last year to keep products such as milk and sugar on store shelves.

Cuban Vice President Carlos Lage, visiting Caracas to meet with Chavez and other allied leaders on Wednesday, accused developed countries of spurring food prices through biofuels.

"Developed countries want to feed the cars of the rich with food -- this is the irrational world we live in today," Lage said, echoing Chavez's frequent accusations that Washington's promotion of biofuel is boosting prices of staples like corn.

U.N. Secretary-General Ban Ki-Moon warned earlier this week that high food prices could wipe out progress in reducing poverty and hurt global economic growth.

Riots in poor Asian and African countries have followed steep rises in food prices caused by a range of factors including pricier fuel, bad weather and the conversion of land to grow crops for biofuel.

OK, the capitalist model is not the problem. It is the blind rush to convert food crops into fuel.

Duh.

Anyway, s/he is either a he or a she. I didn't think it could be that relevant for the people who want to do him/her harm. My opinion of Zombie's gender is solely based on his/her own words.

Did I put Zombie in jeopardy by referring to him/her as a woman?

I sure hope not so, and I just think it's too vague a category to help any freaks who may want to hurt him/her.

So I guess it's easier to call Zombie "it" since him-slash-her gets too annoying after a while. ;)

I'm sorry to hear that. Missions can be rough. I speak from personal experience but the most danger I was ever in on my mission in rural Argentina was sitting at a table at a drunk man's house as he vented about what he would like do to certain people if he ever found them while pointing his bowie knife at me. He was between me and the door and when he asked me if I was scared I could only mutter...'yeah, a little bit'. But the rewards are great so I hope your friends stay strong and serve well.

Doing ok, last time I checked, Ma. Thanks for asking. We've got an appointment with a Geriatric Specialist on the 14th of May, and for that we're glad. We asked the GP for it, since the Neurologist was pretty much a bust.

Mom still asks where her little kids are, every afternoon. I need to think of a good lie to tell her so she doesn't get so upset. But the Ativan script we got from the GP last week will help with that. Haven't given her one yet, but the time is coming.

There is no reason for the sand ticks to raise the price of crude oil up over $100 a bbl and rising. Add to that the recent rice shortages (blamed on Global Warming - heh!) and you have a recipe for disaster.

Higher fuel costs mean distributors (trucks) pass the cost on to retailers. The retailers then pass those costs on to the consumers - which means higher prices on everything - not just food.

Glad I could help. Missionaries should stay safe and like Intrepid said, bigger orgs have plans for things like this. Only once in my two years were our missionaries told to not go out due to rioting (I left Argentina a month before its economy collapsed and they went through presidents like water), I'm sure if I had been in Buenos Aires though and not a rural city that we would've had to stay in more often. Lots of rioting going on in those days. Of course, many of the neighborhoods I was in were the infamous dangerous poor neighborhoods of our mission area so it's a wonder I made it out alive (semi-joking). But all with a good heart, lots of faith, and lots of love for the people we were serving.

Why are you so concerned about Zombie's gender? If you will just e-mail Zombie - which was your original request, IIRC - then you can converse with Zombie yourself.

You wanted Zombie's e-mail address - you got it. Go for it.

Who cares about gender when Zombie brings the pics and reports? A few fatwas have been issued for Zombie, so why come on and try your best to further bring an exact identity to Zombie?

I question your motives for doing so.

Hi all, and sorry for not posting in a while. My life has been in something of a "crisis mode."

A friend of mine from my previous church has been diagnosed with Creutzfeld-Jakob Disease. The diagnosis initially gave her 3-6 months to live, but the swift progress shows they may have under-estimated how far the disease had moved. I've inferred from what I've heard and read that she isn't expected to make it until summer.

I want to be where she and her family are, but they are so overwhelmed right now with people offering help or inquiring of her condition, the only thing I can really do is to send a card. And I don't even know if she understood the card I sent.

On top of all that, I temporarily blinded myself last weekend when I soaked my glasses. The anti-glare coating on the backs of the lenses absorbed water and swelled up, turning the tiny micro-scratches into gaping canyons. Hopefully, the local lens lab can strip off the anti-glare coating, but if they can't, I'll have to buy new glasses. In the meantime, I've gained greater appreciation for the difficulties of visual impairment.

It's almost 2007 all over again.

Got tapped by the Immigration and Customs official there, who looked through my luggage like he was searching for dope. When he was searching the last pocket (where the knives were), he asked me, "What do you do for a living?", and I answered him, "I am a missionary". He stopped, looked me in the eye, and zipped up my bag, told me "Thank you for your cooperation", and sent me on my way. He never saw the 4 huge, foot-long knives in my bag.

re: #331 infidel Alan

Due to high tides associated with the full moon the California Grunion is coming ashore on Southern California beaches tonight to spawn. This is known as a Grunion run and people go to the beach after dark and catch them by hand. I've never caught or eaten one but I've heard they are tasty. Happy Earth Day from a Person for the Edible Treatment of Animals.

just make sure you have a fishing license.

(they don't taste good, they taste like fish. %-)

for the first time, that I could see again, as I hadn't been able to for years! --I looked at my old glasses, and it was like looking through a yellow brick wall! ):

:)

Actually, in seven years, my eyes haven't changed that much. With these glasses, I can still tell someone from forty yards out which fingers they're holding up.

But twice tonight, someone pointed and said, "Do you see that $THING over there?" My only response could be, "No, I don't see anything but a giant fuzz."

re: #341 redc1c4

You know it!
I learned it the hard way. Where I grew up (over 10,000 ft. alt) you put popcorn on, then you chill out for about 20 minutes waiting for it to start. (The old-fashioned stove method.) Well, when I came to the US to go to college, I decided to make a big batch of popcorn. Put it on the stove, jacked the heat up, put a timer on for 15 minutes, and left. Whoa!...
They're probably still picking corn out of the light fixtures. ....and that was 3 decades ago.

re: #350 wolfie

An equally ingenious popcorn making device can still be seen on the streets of some Chinese cities today. The corn is poured into a large cast-iron cannister which is then sealed with a heavy lid and slowly turned over a curb-side fire in rotisserie fashion. When a pressure gauge on the cannister reaches a certain level, it is removed from the fire, a large canvas sack is put over the lid, and the seal is released. With a huge boom, all of popcorn explodes at once and is poured into the sack.

Probably not. I've had these glasses for seven years, plenty of time for them to get damaged from humid environs. This happened because I soaked them.

re: #361 wolfie

Actually it's similar to the technique used at the turn of the century by Quaker and several other cereal companies to puff other crains like wheat. Essentially they are steam cannons.

re: #367 wolfie

Heh, heh, I should have linked the wiki I was reading. Actually Rice Krispies are made from a rice flour batter that's baked and gets the rise from that. Rice cakes are made from puffed rice. I know about the steam cannon because I saw a TLC show on the great cereal rush inspired by the Kellog company.

re: #375 freetoken

If I'm reading that map correctly, the Philadelphia suburbs only went "mildly" for Obama. That's his loss right there.

One of the Republican pols at the polls told me that a lot of Repubs switched to Dem for this election (including his own wife!). While everyone assumed that the majority of those folks were going to vote for Obama, he asserted that (at least in our neighborhood) most were going for Hillary!

As for the college kids, I'm seeing some "hope" and "change". meannastyteenager's best friend was originally going to vote for Obama but switched to Hillary at the last minute.

Foreign Policy Magazine (and website) (and along with Prospect magazine) are holding a contest for who are the top "Public Intellectuals" (whatever that really means.)

From their select list of 100 candidates you are suppose to chose 5.

While some of the names on the list won't raise much support from the Lizards - names like Noam Chomsky, for instance, there are individuals on the list that some of you might think really are leading lights.

I was making crazy calculations a couple of hours ago.
According to polls one in six democrats won't vote for Hillary if she gets nominated. One in five won't vote for Obama.
On a probable universe of 60 million votes for the dems, that means that 10 million democrats won't vote for Hillary (I guess most will stay home) and 12 million democrats won't vote for Obama, at all.

McCain can not have less than 55 million votes, so: do your math.

I was going to say... one of the requirements the magazines put on the possible candidates is that they be living and still active in public.

Luther, as far as we can tell, is still dead.

On the list of 100 names... there are several that have showed up on LGF polls in the past... including Ali, Petraeus, Hitchins, etc.

Surprised that LGF hasn't tried to pimp this poll more to get votes to those that the lizards like. Perhaps the magazines in question are too obscure...

Scroll down to the bottom of this page of polls.

They're showing an 11% spread between Dems/Repubs in a generic vote for congress. Let's use those numbers and see if your math still works.

re: #432 Irene NYC

Don't forget Havel, he's already on the list and deserves support, as does Kasparov.

Yes and yes :)
Specially Havel. Klaus too, both Vaclavs ;)

re: #411 Carl in Jerusalem

You're about 10 degrees low, Carl. That's for Jerusalem. More here in Ramat Beit Shemesh. Indoors strikes me as an excellent idea. Don't forget water.

I don't know for Congress LoL as those millions of haters of Obama/Clinton won't necessarily roll their hatred over to other elections.
But the Presidencial is a cinch.
Deduct between 15 and 20% the number of democrat voters and see what you get ;)

re: #436 MigueldowninMexico

My point was that I think you're still undercounting the registered Dems vs. the registered Repubs.

But I can't find my calculator in this mess of an office, so it doesn't matter. ;-)

Thanks, LOL. No Global Warming. Just Chamsin. Business as usual for this time of year here.

LOL
I'm just playing with figures.
If we set our feet on solid ground...there's still more than half a year to go!

Three minutes of Bill Clinton against the ropes.
He's good at weaseling out, much better than Obama.

I'm bitter because he didn't mention the Tepehuano-Chichimeca-Totonaca-Cholulteca Indians :(

One more minute of Billy weaseling out lol

re: #440 MigueldowninMexico

Okay, even using the higher (20%) number of "lost" Democratic votes, McCain would have to pick up 1/2 of them (while the other half stayed home) to win.

A fun academic exercise, but that's all it is, since the electoral vote is the only one that ultimately counts. ;-)

My horrorscope says to avoid avoidance today, so I guess I'd better get going. :-( :-( :-(

Good day, ALL!™

True about the E.College :)

Not McCain littleoldlady.
Republican members of Congress (both houses).
McCain is a bit above Clinton and 1% below Obama...before the cut.

Oops, it seems Clinton didn't weaseled out as good as I thought.
