Is anyone else ready to have the McCain campaign just turn Sarah loose on the world and let her say what she really thinks? I can't believe how over-coached she is. And the world is saying terrible things about her to which she is not able to respond or defend herself. I'm surprised she has any hair left to pile on top of her head.

On Monday, we can't get any work done because we're still reeling from the weekend.

On Wednesday, we can't get any work done because it's hump day and that makes us think about the weekend.

On Thursday, we can't get any work done because it's almost Friday.

On Friday, we can't get any work done because we're already in weekend mode.

Obama + a Dem congress and House = we're totally doomed. Can you imagine the people who Obama will appoint to high office?! I never thought in a million years that anyone could appoint bigger idiots than Clinton and I'm starting to think I was wrong.

Why are so many of my friends and other people that I respect such total MORONS when it comes to politics?!

I'm starting to think the only thing that can bring me out of this funk would be a kick-ass performance by Sarah vs Biden. She absolutely must tear him a new one! We absolutely MUST win this election! I HATE election years!

Huh?

These clowns are trying to establish that polar bears are going deaf because of the sounds of ice breaking. So global warming causes polar bears to go deaf and die.

It isn't science - the data coming from a domesticated bear in a cage is hardly usable when compared to bears in the wild.

The polar bear enclosure at San Diego zoo is within 100 yards of a freeway (the 163). Here is the satellite photo.

Here's a thought. Dictators tend to get lavish love from the media of their countries. Say, children singing about their wonderfulness. They can get this because they have a lot of people scared that they (and their families) will be killed if they don't cooperate. Our media is over the top for B Hussein. It always seemed ridiculous that someone could covertly take over the country, but...

re: #96 obscured by clouds

I don't know why, but today, for some reason, I feel totally depressed concerning the election. An Obama presidency will be a torturous 4 years. The thought of 8 years...my head hurts. Obama + a Dem congress and House = we're totally doomed. Can you imagine the people who Obama will appoint to high office?! I never thought in a million years that anyone could appoint bigger idiots than Clinton and I'm starting to think I was wrong.

Why are so many of my friends and other people that I respect such total MORONS when it comes to politics?!

I'm starting to think the only thing that can bring me out of this funk would be a kick-ass performance by Sarah vs Biden. She absolutely must tear him a new one! We absolutely MUST win this election! I HATE election years!

Here's a thought. Dictators tend to get lavish love from the media of their countries. Say, children singing about their wonderfulness. They can get this because they have a lot of people scared that they (and their families) will be killed if they don't cooperate. Our media is over the top for B Hussein. It always seemed ridiculous that someone could covertly take over the country, but...

Let's ask Alex Jones.

Yes, although it originally applied to geographic red-lining by lenders. It was the Clinton Justice Dept.

That's when lending standards went out the window, and the rest is history (for a lot of investors).

Good afternoon all,
The Boston Herald just endorsed John McCain.
[Link: news.bostonherald.com...]

from the article:
Being commander in chief isn’t the place for on-the-job training; it’s a job for someone who has already proven his leadership skills - in battle, as a prisoner of war and during more than two decades on the floor of the Senate.

now THAT is an endorsement!

An "experiment" that poses as science.

These clowns are trying to establish that polar bears are going deaf because of the sounds of ice breaking. So global warming causes polar bears to go deaf and die.

It isn't science - the data coming from a domesticated bear in a cage is hardly usable when compared to bears in the wild.

The polar bear enclosure at San Diego zoo is within 100 yards of a freeway (the 163). Here is the satellite photo.

It is just stupid.

Balboa Park is also directly under the glide path into San Diego International Airport. I heard somewhere that jet noise can be bad for the ears...

His fault or not (which in part it is, due to his affiliation with the Fannie Mae/ACORN extortion ring), he gets the blame, the 18% approval ratings, and so on and so forth.

241 MandyManners  Tue, Sep 30, 2008 2:52:45pm

HARRISBURG, Pa. - Gov. Ed Rendell on Monday halted the early release of state prison inmates, days after a recently paroled felon shot and killed a Philadelphia police officer.

The governor also named a Temple University professor to head a review of how the Corrections Department and parole board handled the suspects in the latest Philadelphia police slaying and another four months earlier.

Rendell said last week the administration was reviewing the board's decision to release Daniel Giddings, who killed Philadelphia Officer Patrick McDonald last week before being killed by police. The review being led by John S. Goldkamp, a nationally recognized expert on incarceration, now includes the fatal shooting of Sgt. Stephen Liczbinski in May.

Rendell said that shooting was committed by an offender on parole for robbery.

SNIP

John McNesby, president of the city's Fraternal Order of Police lodge, advocated similar actions. Of the nine city officers shot over the past year, five were shot by criminals under parole supervision, he said earlier Monday.

"What we didn't sign up for was to be executed," McNesby said. "What we didn't sign up for was to not have the backing of the Philadelphia judicial system — not all, not all, but some of the judges — and the Pennsylvania parole board."

SNIP

Giddings, 27, served 10 years out of a maximum 12-year sentence. McNesby said he could have been sentenced to up to 45 years for the 1998 robbery, in which he shot his victim in the kneecaps. He had an extensive disciplinary record in prison, spent more than 500 days in solitary confinement, and should not have been eligible for parole, McNesby said.

Obama: Folks Tricked Into Buying Homes
(From his July 29, 2008 speech before the National Association of Latino Elected and Appointed Officials (NALEO) conference)

2:00 minutes in:


“We marched together in the streets of Chicago to fix our broken immigration system. And it’s because of that twenty year record of partnership with your communities that you can trust me when I say I will be your partner in the White House and I will be your champion in the White House. And that is what you need now more than ever.

For eight long years Washington has not been working for ordinary Americans and for hardworking Latino-Americans. Few have been hit harder than Latino-Americans and African-Americans. You know what I am talking about. You know the people like the couple I met in Las Vegas who were tricked into buying a home they couldn’t afford and are at risk of foreclosure…”

What spurred on 1994? Mainly it was Hillary Clinton and her attempt to nationalize the US health care industry. If indications are correct, Obama plans much more, and may very well be able to do it since we have a bunch of conservative impersonators in the congress. Very bad impersonators. Obama has plenty with which to do great harm to himself, and to his party. I distinctly remember the cover of Newsweek...(or Time, can't remember that distinctly) with the headline "Death of the Democrat Party?" Of course not, typical MSM hyperbole, but they got their assess handed to them over one major issue, and a handful of minor ones. The next midterms (2010) could be worse, even at the state level. Course, I also said Biden was dropping out, doesn't appear likely anymore.

First, Obama has not won the election. We still have 5 weeks to try and derail this obamanation.

But, I think things can get really bad under an Obama presidency. Part of me has to believe that at least 51% of the people in this country would vote him out in 2012. Please Les, don't take that away from me. Let me "cling" to something.

If you haven't seen this. They just can't keep their liberal spin out of anything.

"The View's" Elisabeth Hasselbeck is reportedly "really upset" about the recent political discussions (i.e. the upcoming presidential election) that have been taking place on her daytime gab fest. As the lone Republican on the talk panel -- not to mention the youngest -- she just can't seem to win against her loud, liberal counterparts Joy Behar and Whoopi Goldberg.
...
Rumor has it that Elisabeth may even be leaving "The View" to host her own program on the FOX News Channel, where she can be with her own "kind" ... and not have to face off with Joy and Whoopi on a daily basis! That sort of makes me sad. Although I think Hasselbeck often comes across as being out of touch, uninformed, and immature, I must admit that the outspoken 31-year-old makes for some good television!

re: #283 itellu3times

Let me give y'all the benefit of my heavy thinking and discussions at lunch, this is my neo-econ theory:

mark-to-market is an illegal taking

galloping granny's post on the past thread got me thinking, what is wrong with what *looks* like free-market practice? It didn't work for property in California. It's also very much like what went wrong with the California (/Enron) energy crisis a couple years back. To whit:

Mark-to-market *forces* you to buy back your own property on a daily basis.

This is illegal, or should be. Worse, it is malignant, simply doesn't work.

There y'go.

Donald Trump was discussing Mark to market this morning. Basically you are forced to report the value of a property tied to a loan on a monthly basis? As housing prices plummeted, the value of assets plummeted, yet loans outstanding remained the same, and some of course defaulted. Don't know if it is illegal, but it should be done away with. We might not be in this mess, or at least not as bad if we eliminated mark to market, and the CRA, and ACORN.

re: #110 karmic_inquisitor

An "experiment" that poses as science.

These clowns are trying to establish that polar bears are going deaf because of the sounds of ice breaking. So global warming causes polar bears to go deaf and die.

It isn't science - the data coming from a domesticated bear in a cage is hardly usable when compared to bears in the wild.

The polar bear enclosure at San Diego zoo is within 100 yards of a freeway (the 163). Here is the satellite photo.

It is just stupid.


Stupid, no doubt about it. I spent one winter close to a remote Eskimo village on the shore of the Arctic Ocean where the sea ice piles up, and the loud popping, crunching and grinding sounds as ice ridges push against each other or the shore are quite unmistakable. The booming sounds carried for many miles.

Every time the wind shifted direction it moved the ice, and since that's one place in Alaska where the wind is always blowing, the ice was always shifting back and forth. It is amazing just how much power a moderate wind has, regarding ice movement. Once when the wind blew directly towards the shore it stacked up chunks of ice 20-30 feet high along the beach, pushed up on top of each other.

The villagers said that the ice has been doing this every winter, forever. (And that was over 20 years ago, long before the infamous 'global warming' cash-cow was ever dreamed up.)

We'd regularly see polar bear tracks along the shore during the winter. I must admit, however, we didn't think of testing their hearing.

I did a quick Google search for popping sea ice -- as it matched my memory of the phenomenon -- and HERE'S A GOOD DESCRIPTION:


Sea ice is in constant motion. As stated earlier, floating sea ice is pushed by both ocean currents and wind. Ice floes are constantly being pushed against each other. When pushed together, with enough force, the edges of the ice floes will start giving way and ice will break into pieces and pile up along the floe boundary forming ridges (see photo). These ridges can contain many ice blocks and be very thick, extending into the air, above the ice floes, and into the ocean, below the ice floes, for many meters. A combination of dynamic and thermodynamic processes continuously alter the composition of sea ice at all scales, from the basin scale down to the crystalline level.


--So what's the deal, now we're going to fit polar bears with hearing aids and sunglasses? How's about a special form of DEPENDS, so they don't pee and poop in the pristine Arctic Ocean?

Heh. Any volunteers to change the diapers?

used to be mark to model, you could use any wild number for value. needs to be change to represent a fair market value even if the market is in a slump, plus some reasonable percentage reflecting equity when loan comes to maturity

snobamamessia was in reno today speaking to 10,000 brainwashed university students-- and a few morons from my office,,, here is an exerpt that i found especially hilarious -- the bold part it the most gut wracking,, (i copied this from the online local paper the bold is my addition)

"Let me be perfectly clear. The fact that we are in this mess is an outrage. It’s an outrage because we did not get here by accident. This was not a normal part of the business cycle. This was not the actions of a few bad apples.
This financial crisis is a direct result of the greed and irresponsibility that has dominated Washington and Wall Street for years. It’s the result of speculators who gamed the system, regulators who looked the other way, and lobbyists who bought their way into our government(you mean like YOU snowbama). It’s the result of an economic philosophy that says we should give more and more to those with the most and hope that prosperity trickles down to everyone else; a philosophy that views even the most common-sense regulations as unwise and unnecessary. And this economic catastrophe is the final verdict on this failed philosophy – a philosophy that we cannot afford to continue.

But while there is plenty of blame to go around and many in Washington and on Wall Street who deserve it, all of us now have a responsibility to solve this crisis because it affects the financial well-being of every single American. There will be time to punish those who set this fire, but now is the moment for us to come together and put the fire out.

This is one of those defining moments when the American people are looking to Washington for leadership. It is not a time for politics. It is not a time for partisanship. It is not a time to figure out how to take credit or where to lay blame. It is not a time for politicians to concern themselves with the next election. (again snobama, like YOU)It is a time for all of us to concern ourselves with the future of the country we love. This is a time for action. "

OHHH yea the morons from my office came back all smiles going on about how many people were there,, but the knew better than to start going on about HIM-- they are outnumbered even the bosses are for mc cain

There are also a lot of unknowables in the mix, like the "Bradley" effect and errors in the assumptions used by the pollsters to weight the mix of responses. Trying to predict how many of these new Obama voters will tear themseleves away from their Playstations to vote is a black art at best.

We can assume that the numbers that we see in the polls represent the most optimistic pro-BHO assessment possible. Possibly way too optimistic.

This was an interesting bit:
"It’s the result of an economic philosophy that says we should give more and more to those with the most and hope that prosperity trickles down to everyone else..."

If he's talking about the tax code, "giving" is a curious way to characterize "taking slightly less."

Also via NRO, and as noted by Steyn:

It may already be happening. The four major agencies tracking Earth’s temperature, including NASA’s Goddard Institute, report that the Earth cooled 0.7 degree Celsius in 2007, the fastest decline in the age of instrumentation, putting us back to where the Earth was in 1930.

i do not not not think he is unbeatable,, i do however thing it will "look" that way right up till the end because the msm will not allow anything else,, that is untill all the votes are actualy counted and it is a "slient majority" landslide--- HOWEVER,, it will take a lot of hard work on the part of Senator Mc CAin, Gov. Palin and all of the little guys, the supporters on the ground as it were,, for example, i will be going out on a neighborhood walking campaing with the McCAin people on saturday and i will also help man the phones when i can,, and I work two jobs one full time day and one pracitcally all night long delivering the local msm rag,, the only good thing is i am starting to see some mccain yard signs in the yards of some of my customers so i can feel safe making big circles with a line thru the face of snobama when ever he is on the front page,, and i have gotten a few tips from them too.

re: #273 kevinmumaw

What spurred on 1994? Mainly it was Hillary Clinton and her attempt to nationalize the US health care industry. If indications are correct, Obama plans much more, and may very well be able to do it since we have a bunch of conservative impersonators in the congress. Very bad impersonators. Obama has plenty with which to do great harm to himself, and to his party. I distinctly remember the cover of Newsweek...(or Time, can't remember that distinctly) with the headline "Death of the Democrat Party?" Of course not, typical MSM hyperbole, but they got their assess handed to them over one major issue, and a handful of minor ones. The next midterms (2010) could be worse, even at the state level. Course, I also said Biden was dropping out, doesn't appear likely anymore.

The conspiracy theory I've been pushing to my liberal neighbors is Biden will drop out of the race on Oct 5th to be replaced by Clinton. Around the 10th of Oct, The Democrats will surrender Obama on outstanding federal charges relating to Rezko and Hillary will become the contender for the Democrat party. The Democrats would have set the whole thing up from long back in order to get Hillary elected.

The Hillary side of the Democrats will be ecstatic, the undecided that are pissed at the Republicans and afraid of Obama will vote for her, the Obama supporters will mostly vote for her because they don't want to vote for McCain or want McCain to win. Perhaps some Republicans that are pissed off about the financial event would vote for her out of spite or just stay home.

The neighbors are mixed as to being real excited about the possibility to amazement the Democrats could think of that. None are discounting it. ;-)>

No, can't say I have. When I take meat over to the butcher to have moose or deer burger made, i usually have them mix in about 5 to 7% fat. Then I just patty it up and that's it. I don't mix beef with it.

As he submarined Hillary and entered the general I started paying attention again. His policy ideas are awful, but there is something much more important to understand about Barack.

He is weak.

He is not capable of leading the free world against the forces of tyranny. He will dither like Jimmy Carter in a crisis. He will be tested, and he will not be up to the task. He's not capable of leading America on the domestic front either.

2004 - A grand jury indicted a Columbus ACORN worker for submitting a false signature and false voter registration form. In Franklin County, two ACORN workers submitted what the director of the board of election supervisors called “blatantly false” forms. In Cuyahoga County, ACORN and its affiliate Project Vote submitted registration cards that had the highest rate of errors for any voter registration group.

He started asking about politics and basically said there's no way he or any of his guys are voting for Obama. This is a contracting company (with project managers, teams of skilled union carpenters, electricians, etc.). He thinks it will cost him way too much to elect him.

I live on Washington's Olympic Peninsula and worked with several North Carolinian transplants that were crazy about hunting with Plott hounds for black bear and cougar several years ago before the hunts were heavily regulated. They had sausage made out of the bear, which I could understand, but also the cougar. I cautiously tried some and it was surprisingly good, they added beef to it mostly to add fat. Still a very large amount of bear and cougar here, I see many black bear regularly. They are considered a nuisance by the timberland owners because they strip the bark off young evergreens in the spring to eat the cambium layer of the tree. I've seen many trees, maybe 100 feet talll or so, completely stripped of bark from top to bottom by bears.

re: #511 JHW

I
live on Washington's Olympic Peninsula and worked with several North
Carolinian transplants that were crazy about hunting with Plott hounds
for black bear and cougar several years ago before the hunts were
heavily regulated. They had sausage made out of the bear, which I could
understand, but also the cougar. I cautiously tried some and it was
surprisingly good, they added beef to it mostly to add fat. Still a
very large amount of bear and cougar here, I see many black bear
regularly. They are considered a nuisance by the timberland owners
because they strip the bark off young evergreens in the spring to eat
the cambium layer of the tree. I've seen many trees, maybe 100 feet
talll or so, completely stripped of bark from top to bottom by bears.

I tried bear meat years and years ago, and I didn't like it. I can't remember why.
I don't know if the bears here strip bark, but I don't think so. I could be wrong. There is so much salmon here in the streams, and deer and wild berries that I don't think they do that to trees.

It’s a temptation for sure when you see the stupid stuff out there… easily rationalized when you KNOW… when you’re cocksure you have the right message and want to shut off debate. It’s easy to rationalize and easy to achieve. Just label the opposition media as HATE NEWSREEL or whatever whithout confronting it and let Reifenstahl, Mooreski, and Spurlockmann reign supreme. Sorry, but can you believe that guy…have you seen that film ‘Bavarianize Me’ where he eats nothing but chocolate cake and loin crackle for a month and gets fat? What’s the “DUH” factor on that? Then we find out that he was double dipping off camera and gobbling down Sacher Torte like the Ottomans were invading to achieve the desired weight gain. Then to get that quack Mengele to sign off that he was near death….Jesus! if you have a point then tell the truth man…….Sorry I just get a little worked up when people use gross distortions and create a crisis call for government intervention into MY food. Hell, I’m a vegetarian Bavarian….just make an argument….show reality…but lying and scaring, threats, government force…….my god…."

Adolph on urban planning and public art

"...look, there are great projects undertaken with great expense and once in a great while with good intentions. They usually achieve nothing if not the opposite of the desired effect.
I've got Speer in my ear wanting to do this and that for "the good of the volk." I'm ashamed to say I've given into him to get him off my back. Look at the results. Spotlights to the sky. Keeping the rain off anyone's head? Millions of Reichsmarks on a triumphal arch that'll never fly in the name of "public beauty" and "urban renewal" when 95% of the people think it's excrement. It's all what HE wants , what HE thinks is neat so there is no `public ` involved in this `public beauty.'
Germania. Woo hoo. A massive rebuilding project to route roads the way Speer wants them, overhead of 90 pfennings on the mark to create onanistic monuments, and the rest for uniform cement boxes to shove forced admirers into...ghettoification... He thinks it's all in the name of Social Justice...my rear... he's just power hungry and thinks people should live the way he wants them to, not even the way he does - you should see his lavish spread in the protected schwartzwald.

BTW, to pre-empt any criticism, I know McGovern and Bush 41 were of course, WWII fighter pilots. Nothing comes close to that. But for ill or good, they were considered wimpy at times.

McGovern flew B-24's. And he took a badly damaged one back to England instead of bailing out because some of his crew were crew were wounded.

I still didn't vote for him, but I respected him a lot more after I learned this.

re: #628 Alaska Kim

I don't know what in the world scrapple is, but I have watched that gross show with Andrew Zimmern or whatever his name is, so nothing suprises me!

Scrapple is typically made of hog offal, such as the head, heart, liver, and other scraps, which are boiled with any bones attached (often the entire head), to make a broth. Once cooked, bones and fat are discarded, the meat is reserved, and (dry) cornmeal is boiled in the broth to make a mush. The meat, finely minced, is returned, and seasonings, typically sage, thyme, savory, and others are added. The mush is cast into loaves and allowed to cool thoroughly until gelled. The proportions and seasoning are very much a matter of the region and the cook's taste.

Don't mind me, I have a rant coming on:

WHY DID MCCAIN'S TEAM KEEP THIS WOMAN HIDDEN FOR SO LONG! God it's criminal. Let her talk, she's great.

I dunno, vb, I caught most of the interview just now. As an individual, she sounds great. That pulls a lot of support. As a national politician, there's an awful lot of oh-gosh, and Trust John. It's cute. It's sweet. It might have been appropriate at some other time and place, but it sure is *different* in this time and place.

Now, Obama bin Hussein is not exactly a policy wonk himself but he spouts a line of Marxist gibberish in quite the fashionable way.

Jobama bin Biden *is* a policy wonk. So, he gets it all wrong, it *sounds* well to a certain class of voters, who like it, who demand it.

I jest don't know what is going to transpire on Thursday.

And John McCain his own self, can go sort of wonkish and fillibuster with appropriate sounding noises, not really very nerdly, but usually quite sensibly and attractively. Of the four candidates (and it actually pains me somewhat to say this), that makes McCain the thinking person's candidate. Wish someone at his campaign would wake up and smell this coffee.

re: #520 Russkilitlover

Er...ahem... just a quickie question here. Most justification for hunting that I have heard revolves around the Darwinian notion of culling herds to keep populations healthy. So why is it that the biggest, hugest, bestest bulls, with the best genes, is the prize sought by hunters? I've always been curious about this seemingly double standard.

You have to cull the herds because without natural predators (and most of the cougars and wolf populations are thin), deer will undergo a boom-bust cycle. (Not unlike the US economy).

The reason the biggest deer are the most prized is because they are the biggest. Bigger deer = more meat and bigger rack (trophy).

The subtext also being that they don't get to be the biggest without also being the toughest and smartest (ie have the ability to elude hunters the longests).

Helps keep the herd docile and more huntable?

Anyway, in most cases, the bull has already passed on his genes plenty of times, and it increases diversity to let another rise up. And, maybe the next one will be smart enough not to get shot!

Son of the Black Dog (#612),

McGovern flew B-24's. And he took a badly damaged one back to England instead of bailing out because some of his crew were crew were wounded.

I still didn't vote for him, but I respected him a lot more after I learned this.

Well not exactly.

[McGovern] volunteered for the United States Army Air Forces during World War II and served as a B-24 Liberator bomber pilot in the Fifteenth Air Force, flying 35 missions over enemy territory from bases in North Africa and later Italy, often against heavy anti-aircraft artillery, earning the Distinguished Flying Cross for saving his crew by landing his damaged bomber on a British airfield on Vis, a small island off the Yugoslav coast controlled by Tito's Partisans.

To anyone who is still listening to Hugh Hewitt, he has on Amity Shlaes the author of a very good book on the Great Depression, "The Forgotten Man".

The reason I am bringing this up is that her voice is SO similar to Governor Palin, that I am having cognitive dissonance just listening to her.

That book is amazing. I have gotten about three-quarters of the way through it. What a revelation.

In case I didn't make it clear, depending on where you are hunting, you are likely only able to take one deer legally to fill your tag.

So if you need meat, bigger is better.

Also, the biggest bucks are usually the most difficult ones to take, and there are bragging rights for getting a big trophy. That's why they are so prized.

Maybe for many it does, but I saw no indication of a bad economy today at the college job fair on campus I wandered through. I have dinner with reps from one of the companies in a couple of minutes. They are falling all over themselves for our students--undergrads for internships and grads for full-time employment. Upcoming grads walking through the job fair are being bombarded with offers for interviews and fulltime jobs starting at $US 60,000++. We brought a bunch of students last week to a trade show and the company people were virtually standing in line to make offers to the graduating seniors. I tell my studetns that, "Sure, some parts of the economy are bad right now, but YOUR economy is doing damn good."

You're not talking about 3.2 beer?

Low-point beer

Low-point beer, also known as 3.2 ("three-two") beer, is any beer (or in some cases any alcoholic beverage) containing at most 3.2% alcohol by weight (or 4% alcohol by volume). The term "Low-point beer" is unique to the United States, where some states limit the sale of beer; however, similar products are available in countries such as Sweden and Finland that tax or otherwise regulate beer according to alcohol content.

You are in good company! Keep up the brain washing of your children, that can't hurt them at all! Obama's Alinskyite buddies could probably help in organizing the lumpen prole to come out and listen to the little scamps if you wanted to take them on tour. I might even pitch in to help purchase a uniform. Whataya say we give the kids a nice earth tone shirt, perhaps brown?

Let's Be Completely Honest ... Lie
by sn00t
Wed Aug 20, 2008 at 10:26:32 AM PDT

It occurs to me as I watch the nonstop cable coverage that as smart as we all are, we are still so dumb.
Why do we do this to ourselves, election after election? The tactics of Rove, as deplorable as they are, work because they have no morality to them.

How do you fight lies? We try with truth, but a lie accepted as truth cannot be battled with a "different" truth in the mind of many. This is especially true when you consider, alas, the mass public is not reading KOS, Politico, The Page, and Huff Po. What we are all missing is the truth about elections. The truth is that you lie. You lie and keep lying and when you get accused of lying you lie even more.

Look at McCain's campaign for evidence of this. In the same paragraph of a press release it will both question Obama's patriotism, and then deny questioning his patriotism. It will say how good the economy is and then how terrible it is. It will deny the truth of huge budget deficits and then go on to call for more tax cuts. You see, we progressives believe that information, and more accurately, factual evidence, will set you free. We are devotees of finding and consuming ideas, perspectives, and information in all formats. And in that, we sow our own fate.

The problem is that we believe that if we can only talk to someone, and present the "facts", or provide "evidence" to the contrary, we can sway people to our line of thinking. The problem is obvious: people who don't already think like you most likely don't consume and derive perspective in the manner you do, yielding all of our work, all of our effort, and all of our faith in the facts - worthless.

If you want to convert someone to your position, lie to them.

If you want to support Obama, lie about John McCain. Hell, tell the truth about John McCain - but add on any other thing you can think of that is outrageous. If you are talking about the election to an NRA member, tell them John McCain hates guns. If you are talking to a religious figure, tell them that John McCain is an atheist (this pains me to say as an atheist, as it infers something wrong with atheism, but we all must sacrifice here!). Lie. Lie with abandon. Lie without regret.

The republicans understand that facts are meaningless. Why do we fall prey to this year after year? How could we lose 2000, and 2004? The facts were on OUR SIDE, and yet, we lose. If you want to help Obama, stop spending all your time reading sites with your own point of view. Post in the comment sections at ABCNEWS, at CNN, at MSNBC, at Fox ... anywhere where there are people no of your own idealogical persuasion - FLOOD THEM WITH LIES.

I hate to say it, but like a TV commercial jingle, that gets caught in your head for a day, the republicans are landing their lies in the ears of the public every second. And you can't fight it with truth - you can only hope to beat them to the punch with a lie. A scandalous or hard hitting comment or statement that causes that person to say - "oh wow - really?"

This election is of paramount importance, with McCain trying to reignite the cold war, an Iranian War, and more love to corporations like Exxon ... morality is not a luxury we have available to us.

So let's be completely honest... LIE.

I hesitate saying this...being in the military, the economy doesn't really affect me, job-wise. I'm not sure how much I care about the economy. I mean, I do, but then again, I'll always have a job. I got a $35k bonus last year just to stay in until 2011. I don't wish anyone to be unemployed, especially if they have a family, but the economy just doesn't move my emotions the way it did when I was in the private sector.

Oh, and I've noticed that military towns are pretty much in their own micro-economies, more or less unaffected by the larger macro-economy. The traffic in Fayetteville around the shopping areas is as bad or worse than it has ever been. The Best Buy here is consistently out of stock of half of its big screen TVs at any given time.

Gotta post and run - bbl - don't know if anyone's already put this here so...
Tonight's email from Senator McCain -

My Friends,

We are in the greatest financial crisis of our lifetimes. Congressional inaction has put every American and the entire economy at the gravest risk. Yesterday the country and the world looked to Washington for leadership, and Congress once again came up empty-handed.

I am disappointed at the lack of resolve and bipartisan good will among members of both parties to fix this problem. Bipartisanship is a tough thing; never more so when you're trying to take necessary but publicly unpopular action. But inaction is not an option.

If we do nothing, many businesses may fail. Sonic Corporation, a drive-in restaurant chain based in Oklahoma, learned on Thursday that one of its lenders, GE Capital, had stopped extending new loans to the chain's franchisees. That will block plans to rebuild restaurants, add equipment and open new locations.

When financing dries up, students can't get loans. In Wisconsin, more than 100 Milwaukee Area Technical College students couldn't access private loans to fund their education. Fortunately the school was able to come up with emergency loans, but this temporary arrangement cannot continue. Markets need to work so that people can get financial help and students can be educated.

Again, inaction is not an option. In light of the House's failure to act, this morning, I spoke to the President about two things that the administration has not done, but should do following the inaction of Congress. First, the Treasury has already used its Exchange Stabilization Fund to back money market accounts. I encourage it to use it this fund as creatively as possible to provide backstop for accounts across our financial system to maintain confidence on the part of savers and investors. And second, the recent housing bill gave the government nearly $1 trillion in authority to purchase mortgages. Housing and mortgages are at the root of this crisis.

The Administration can take these actions with the stroke of the pen to help alleviate the crisis gripping our economy. I urge them to do so.

The FDIC should quickly be granted the authority to increase the deposit insurance cap from $100,000 to $250,000 so that families do not have to worry about their money. We cannot allow a crisis in our financial system to become a crisis in confidence.

I call on everyone in Washington to come together in a bipartisan way to address this crisis. I know that many of the solutions to this problem may be unpopular, but the dire consequences of inaction will be far more damaging to the economic security of American families and the fault will be all ours.

And to my supporters, I assure you I will continue to do whatever I can to aid in a constructive answer to the challenge before us.

Sincerely,
John McCain

P.S. I'm asking you to pass this email along to your friends, family, neighbors and colleagues. We must spread the word that inaction is not an option.

People should not indoctrinate their children this way.

Talk about issues, talk about what is right and wrong, and which candidate you believe most exemplifies that - all that is OK. But this was scary.

what really bothers me abt. this, is that it is the exact same kind of indoctrination used on the pali kids.
it is adults who are pushing complete indoctrination of the innocent, who happen to be their own children.

It's creepy...Sure I tell my kids that I think BO is a Marxist and that he is dangerous to the future of this country, but they also watched the 1st debate and will watch Sarah kick Bidens ass on Thursday. I've also compared the two candidates and explained their policies and why I disagree with one (BO) and mostly agree with Mac.

My parents taught me to think critically...which isn't taught in school anymore..sadly. I am teaching my children to do the same.

yes. My daughter watched the debate with me, and hopefully will watch the others. She has opinions and expresses them, and we talk about them. We don't always agree, and it is OK. The discussion is the important part, that's what will stay with her.

But in a million years, while she was in grammar school, I never would have allowed her to participate in something like that.

Kinda sucks to be a conservative in today's environment.

BBev mentioned 75% grade beef...and I never heard of such a thing

Seems to have to do with the "yield grade" of carcasses:

Yield Grades

Yield grades are used to estimate the usable beef in a carcass. Yield grades are important when buying carcasses, sides, quarters or wholesale cuts. The following percentages represent the estimated yield of retail cuts from carcasses of each yield grade (percentages are rounded to whole numbers).
bullet

Yield Grade 1: The carcass or side will yield 80 percent or more retail cuts (300 pounds x 80 percent = 240 pounds of retail cuts).
bullet

Yield Grade 2: 75 to 80 percent retail cuts (300 x 75 = 225 pounds).
bullet

Yield Grade 3: 70 to 75 percent retail cuts (300 x 70 = 210 pounds).
bullet

Yield Grade 4: 66 to 70 percent retail cuts (300 x 66 = 198 pounds).
bullet

Yield Grade 5: 65 percent or less retail cuts (300 x 65 = 195 pounds or less).

It's official BS. I know for a fact that Taiwan is BS. I am the sponsor for a Taiwanese Navy Lieutenant Colonel (O5). John Bolton is a semi-national hero there. (I had no idea either). I gave him my copy of "Surrender is Not an Option" and he flipped. Apparently Bolton is a staunch supporter of Taiwan in the UN. This means something to the Taiwanese. Same goes for Lithuania. BS. The only reason the Economist didn't report Georgia, is because it would be too obvious if they reported their typical "80% support Obama" tripe.

i really hope that gov. palin comes out strong and keeps plugs on the run.
she needs to keep him on the defensive. it shouldn't be hard to do. he is such a rambling fool. i hope she exposes obama. starting w/ the current mess. his heavy involvement w/acorn. his big responsibility for turning the mortgage industry into a massive welfare program. and all the rest.

re: #776 kevinmumaw

It's official BS. I know for a fact that Taiwan is BS. I am the sponsor for a Taiwanese Navy Lieutenant Colonel (O5). John Bolton is a semi-national hero there. (I had no idea either). I gave him my copy of "Surrender is Not an Option" and he flipped. Apparently Bolton is a staunch supporter of Taiwan in the UN. This means something to the Taiwanese. Same goes for Lithuania. BS. The only reason the Economist didn't report Georgia, is because it would be too obvious if they reported their typical "80% support Obama" tripe. The Economist apparently thinks the whole world is San Francisco, Manhattan, London, and Havana.

This should make your and your O5s day.

Not.

Wow...I finally got a handle on yesterday, and how political it all was/is. One of my best friends is a broker for Wachovia Securities. He lost a ton of money when they got bought out by City. Obviously he's not the only one.

Nancy Pelosi and her gang; do they know how much damage they did yesterday or do they just not care? I'm guessing the latter.

Isn't it the VP candidate's job to sling the mud, anyway? Not that it's mud...so perhaps "tell the truth" would be a better choice of words.

None of us will forget it, however. Now I am doomed by your anecdote to wander the streets of New Orleans in my evening jacket and jeans, bottle and book in hand, and with every blessed exposure of frontal nudity, think of rightymouse and her ungrateful husband.

Allow me to appear elitist for a moment. 4 Seasons Wine is selling a case of 2005 Chateau des Leotins Bordeaux for $119.95. 2005 Bordeaux is a real good vintage, this particular one is rated 95. Less than $10 a bottle, despite the coming depression (gag) I am getting in on this one. Unless you are still boycotting French wine. Your loss.

Yaar, Mates, A busy and successful day, with dripping irony at the end...My team got a request yesterday from the county audio/video tech to test and make sure the network outlets in the auditorium stage was "hot" and to allow video streaming from CNN to non-county P/C's for the DeKalb County Democrat party to have a party in the auditorium on Thursday night to watch and celebrate the Biden/Palin debate. We laughed at the request and sent it to the security team to evaluate and give their blessing, because there were some huge security issues with the request to be addressed before we would allow network access, much less streaming video.
Late this afternoon I was tasked with testing with the outlets, and I complied, and tested successfully with no issues except I did not know where they were streaming the video from, and I doubt it would not work without altering a firewall rule. Got in touch with the video tech and he came down to guide me.
He explained they had tested and had created a tunnel and got it to stream video through the F/W successfully. My laptop locked up loading Fire-fox and Java, locked up, then corrupted the password. So I was SOL on testing any further. I told him the security issues of allowing "unsecured" P/C's on the county network, and he laughed and told me the commissioners had been allowing unsecured citizens laptops on the network for a year or so at commissioners meetings. News to me and the security team!
Get back to IT and find all of top management piled into our offices finishing discussing some ISP access upgrades, loudly laughing and joking, generally cutting up (Mgmt likes my team, we are the most successful section in the department, and they do listen carefully to what we say.) They ended the discussion with a mention of the access for the laptops to be discussed further tomorrow, Which was when I thought it appropriate to mention that I had tested the outlets successfully, they discussed their absolute refusal to allow an unsecured P/C on the network, and the reluctance to allow streaming video through the firewall in case it grabbed all the bandwidth and our priority users like the police could not access the Internet for investigations and information. Plus the precedence of allowing streaming video for clearly non-business related functions at the expense of high priority uses. Mgmt discussed that the Audio/video section had requested a county laptop from the department, bypassing all security issues on the project, but Mgmt was taking the stand that no departmental laptops were available and would have to be supplied by the A/V group. I found this interesting because I knew in five minutes flat I could find a dormant laptop either in inventory or lying on someones desk or bag. The suggestion was put forth that we use cable video feed instead of Internet which was actually the best possible solution for the issue, but only because it allowed IT to dump the issue back on our Audio/video group but has some actual benefits with much improved audio/video resolution to the viewers.
I will visit with mgmt first thing tomorrow to offer some suggestions and inform of the huge security hole opened up by the commissioners allowing
unsecured P/C's access to the network. The fallout from this will be interesting and I'll keep you updated. I am a little impressed with management over the issue. They are all black, and probably all vote Democrat, I know Curtis, the deputy director will vote Obama, as he knows I will vote McCain. (We love to debate each other). But they are thinking and acting professionally and non-partisan. Me' hats off to 'em!

where is the accountability? where is the shame? it seems like with the media now having totally gone in the tank for the liberals, people are saying and doing things with total impunity, because the check and balance role that the media used to play is gone. we should be seeing resignations, scandals, criminal investigations, etc. we should not have a man with close ties to radicals and domestic terrorists so close to taking the oath of office. i think we have entered a new era of anything goes, lies can be told and it doesn't matter. people are being bought off or the stories are just not reported on so they end up deep sixed.
where are the watchdogs? nobody is minding the store. regulators let crimes go on right under their noses and when the crimes come to light nothing is done about it. congress can be as corrupt as they want, spend all they want, and put our financial system on the brink of a disaster, and then turn right around and point the finger elsewhere and say we know what to do to fix the problem, TRUST US!
i just feel that things are slipping away from us, and that the country no longer resembles what it used to be.
i haven't given up, but i'm really concerned about the future.

Thanks, everyone for your input into hunting philosophy and practice. I appreciate what you have elucidated me on; although, I could never kill something, unless starvation was the only alternative, I appreciate the sentiments of hunters and their role as alpha-predator. Just, please, try not to cheer so loudly over the death of a magnificent beast - rather show some sort of homage, to the spirit of what you have brought down.

Unfortunately, there are still plenty of people that just scoff at the notion that the news media could POSSIBLY be Left-leaning and biased towards the Democrats... even when you point them to the relevant info on it online.

No credit for business will cause an economic contraction. The bailout will dilute the depth of the depression. NO voters in the House of Reps have their heads up their ass. New rules are needed via the government.

It is the same corruption that caused Enron that caused this. The little guy is screwed, the bigshots get golden parachutes.

re: #466 opnion

Think about it, Sarah Palin is a young woman , who has never really been on the national stage. The MSM treats her with contempt she and her family have been called names by the Dem's & subjected to truly vile accusations. Yet goes forward with grace & a smile. She is admirable


For some years, we've had a popular bumper sticker here in Alaska, "ALASKA GIRLS KICK ASS".

In today's Townhall interview Sarah made reference to today's journalists' lack of ethics:

HH: Now Governor, the Gibson and the Couric interview struck many as sort of pop quizzes designed to embarrass you as opposed to interviews. Do you share that opinion?

SP: Well, I have a degree in journalism also, so it surprises me that so much has changed since I received my education in journalistic ethics all those years ago. But I’m not going to pick a fight with those who buy ink by the barrelful. I’m going to take those shots and those pop quizzes and just say that’s okay, those are good testing grounds. And they can continue on in that mode. That’s good. That makes somebody work even harder. It makes somebody be even clearer and more articulate in their positions. So really I don’t fight it. I invite it.

In other words, Bring it ON.
