Does anyone have a better copy?

I haven't had it yet but I'm psyched. Tenured. In an institution in which I can believe. No more hiding my political/cultural beliefs.

A few more bits of W.C.Fieldsian wisdom:
• Horse sense is the thing a horse has which keeps it from betting on people.
• A rich man is nothing but a poor man with money.
• I cook with wine, sometimes I even add it to the food.

John McCain meets John Murtha in a dark parking lot. "Here's your money, John, all in non-sequential tens and twenties" "Thanks, John. And don't forget, when you take office, I get secret service coverage specializing in attacks from ex-marines." "Sure, John, just keep your mouth shut from now until you're dead".

re: #44 rawmuse

Wow, that dude is amped up. I love it.

/and it's all true

Just got this email. It's real, from a retired Marine Sergeant Major. Seems to be from a couple years ago, but I had never seen it. I'll have to post it in two parts, but it's well worth reading....

'The Axis of Idiots'

Jimmy Carter, you are the father of the Islamic Nazi movement. You threw the Shah under the bus, welcomed the Ayatollah home, and then lacked the spine to confront the terrorists when they took our embassy and our people hostage. Our Canadian friends gave as many as they could sanctuary in their embassy in Iran. They're more American than you'll ever be.. You're the runner-in-chief.

Bill Clinton, you played ring around the Lewinsky while the terrorists were at war with us. You got us into a fight with them in Somalia and then you ran from it. Your weak-willed responses to the U.S.S. Cole and the First Trade Center Bombing and Our Embassy Bombings emboldened the killers. Each time you failed to respond adequately, they grew bolder, until 9/11/2001.

John Kerry, dishonesty is your most prominent attribute. You lied about American Soldiers in Vietnam. Your military service, like your life, is more fiction than fact. You've accused our military of terrorizing women and children in Iraq. You called Iraq the wrong war, wrong place, wrong time, the same words you used to describe Vietnam. You're a fake. You want to run from Iraq and abandon the Iraqis to murderers just as you did to the Vietnamese. Iraq, like Vietnam, is another war that you were for, before you were against it.

John Murtha, you said our military was broken. You said we can't win militarily in Iraq. You accused United States Marines of cold-blooded murder without proof and said we should redeploy to Okinawa. Okinawa, John? And the Democrats call you their military expert! Are you sure you didn't suffer a traumatic brain injury while you were off building your war hero resume? You're a sad, pitiable, corrupt and washed up politician. You're not a Marine, sir. You wouldn't amount to a good pimple on a real Marine's ass. You're a phony and a disgrace. Run away, John.

Dick Durbin, you accused our Soldiers at Guantanamo of being Nazis, tenders of Soviet style gulags and as bad as the regime of Pol Pot, who murdered two million of his own people after your party abandoned Southeast Asia to the Communists. Now you want to abandon the Iraqis to the same fate. History was not a good teacher for you, was it? Lord help us! See Dick run.

Ted Kennedy, for days on end you held poster-sized pictures from Abu Ghraib in front of any available television camera. Al Jazeera quoted you saying that Iraqi's torture chambers were open under new management. Did you see the news, Teddy? The Islamic Nazis demonstrated another beheading for you. If you truly supported our troops, you'd show the world poster-sized pictures of that atrocity and demand the annihilation of it. Your legislation stripping support from the South Vietnamese led to a communist victory there. You're a bloated, drunken fool, bent on repeating the same historical blunder that turned freedom-seeking people over to homicidal, genocidal maniacs. To paraphrase John Murtha, all while sitting on your wide, gin-soaked ass in Washington.

Nancy Pelosi, Harry Reid, Carl Levine, Barbara Boxer, Diane Feinstein, Russ Feingold, Hillary Clinton, Pat Leahy, Barack Obama, Chuck Schumer, the Hollywood Leftist morons, et al, ad nauseam: Every time you stand in front of television cameras and broadcast to the Islamic Nazis that we went to war because our President lied, that the war is wrong and our Soldiers are torturers, that we should leave Iraq, you give the Islamic butchers - the same ones that tortured and mutilated American Soldiers - cause to think that we'll run away again, and all they have to do is hang on a little longer. It is inevitable that we, the infidels, will have to defeat the Islamic jihadists. Better to do it now on their turf, than later on ours after they have gained both strength and momentum.

re: #61 Spirit93

What's next, finding subliminal messages by playing files backwards? There's plenty of reasons to hate the MSM, but I'm not buying this one.

See the Open Thread quote. I am an equal opportunity hater of the MSM. I will not refuse to hate the MSM in any circumstance, regardless of how questionable the reason is.

American news media, the New York Times particularly: Each time you publish stories about national defense secrets and our intelligence gathering methods, you become one united with the sub-human pieces of camel dung that torture and mutilate the bodies of American Soldiers. You can't strike up the courage to publish cartoons, but you can help Al Qaeda destroy my country. Actually, you are more dangerous to us than Al Qaeda is. Think about that each time you face Mecca to admire your Pulitzer..

You are America's 'AXIS OF IDIOTS.' Your Collective Stupidity will destroy us. Self-serving politics and terrorist-abetting news scoops are more important to you than our national security or the lives of innocent civilians and Soldiers. It bothers you that defending ourselves gets in the way of your elitist sport of politics and your ignorant editorializing. There is as much blood on your hands as is on the hands of murdering terrorists. Don't ever doubt that. Your frolics will only serve to extend this war as they extended Vietnam. If you want our Soldiers home as you claim, knock off the crap and try supporting your country ahead of supporting your silly political aims and aiding our enemies.

Yes, I'm questioning your patriotism. Your loyalty ends with self. I'm also questioning why you're stealing air that decent Americans could be breathing. You don't deserve the protection of our men and women in uniform. You need to run away from this war, this country. Leave the war to the people who have the will to see it through and the country to people who are willing to defend it.

No, Mr. President, you don't get off the hook, either. Our country has two enemies: Those who want to destroy us from the outside and those who attempt it from within. Your Soldiers are dealing with the outside force. It's your obligation to support them by confronting the AXIS OF IDIOTS.

America must hear it from you that these self-centered people are harming our country, a betting the enemy and endangering our safety. Well up a little anger, please, and channel it toward the appropriate target. You must prosecute those who leak national security secrets to the media. You must prosecute those in the media who knowingly publish those secrets.

Our Soldiers need you to confront the enemy that they cannot. They need you to do it now.

Semper Fi,

J. D. Pendry - Sergeant Major, USMC, Retired

re: #104 Opilio
Correctumundo! But if Mr. Justice Stevens finds that there were no constituitional (US) errors in the Sixth Circuit, he can uphold their decision.
If he thinks that they were wrong, then he must convene the rest of the court - or at least get 3 other Justices to agree that the Court should hear it and if that happens they will hear and decide it on an expedited basis.
And, while Justice Stevens is somewhat, uh, unpredictable, I do expect him to uphold the decision of the Sixth Circuit - and fairly quickly,too.

Sadly, The Simpson's have been under the bus for me for years. It was heartbreaking but I had to do it when they switched from bashing all political sides to being hard core ideologues. The Simpsons were always great because they didn't preach. Now, they preach like nobody's business.

Sadly, The Simpson's have been under the bus for me for years. It was heartbreaking but I had to do it when they switched from bashing all political sides to being hard core ideologues. The Simpsons were always great because they didn't preach. Now, they preach like nobody's business.

So sadly true. It's been awhile now since I've watched, and I loved that show. "Who controls the British Crown, who keeps the metric system down? We do! We do!"

Simpsons jumped the shark for me back in 2006 when.....wait...scratch that. The girl's Huffy the Simpsons were riding teetered over the brink of that flimsy makeshift plywood ramp they set up and into the shark tank with this episode belittling American soldiers ON VETERANS' DAY WEEKEND!

That same weekend, Don Cherry's Coaches Corner on CBC's Hockey Night in Canada ran a very moving tribute to the Canadian Soldiers who were killed in the line of duty in Afghanistan. Imagine that- a country that we deride for hardly having a military somehow managed to put together a more somber and appropriate tribute to their soldiers than the supposedly jingoistic FOX network.

re: #125 arizona9
Thanks - but as I read that, McCain was holding steady at 43% and among registered voters and Likely Voters (enchanced) O was still leading McCain by six percentage points and the poll was taken before the last debate.
Sure would like to see John's percentage go up 3 or more and Obama's drop 2 or 3 (I'm being semi-realistic here; I druther see McCain go up by 20 and see Obama go down by 27 but I don't think that's gonna happen.

Evidence Mounts: Ayers Co-Wrote Obama's Dreams

Evidence continues to mount that Barack Obama had substantial help from Bill Ayers in the creation of his 1995 book, Dreams From My Father, a book that Time Magazine has called "the best-written memoir ever produced by an American politician." The evidence falls into five general categories, here summarized.

The discovery of new matching nautical metaphors from both Ayers and Obama that almost assuredly came from the same source: Ayers, a former merchant seaman.

The discovery of a Bill Ayers' essay on memoir writing, whose postmodern themes and phrases are echoed throughout Dreams.

A newly discovered book chapter from 1990 that shows clearly and painfully the limits of Obama's prose style the year he received a contract to write Dreams.

The revelation by radical Islamicist Rashid Khalidi that Ayers made his "dining room table" available for neighborhood writers who needed help.

A refined timeline that shows Ayers had the means, the motive and the time to help Obama when he needed it most.

Wow, wouldn't that be fun? It'd cost Lord President For Life Obama the election.

/two and a half weeks left to fill in the blanks and put the pieces together

Obama's Teflon coating may be wearing thin.

re: #152 SpartanWoman

re: #129 hermeneutics

If he doesn't uphold the decision, does it have to go before ALL the Supremes?

It might. For that to happen, at least four Justices have to agree to hear the case, including Stevens. Realwest noted this as well as what would happen next. Still, I don't think it will get that far. This case involves long-standing laws of a kind Stevens has supported. He's left, but he's not "pivot on a dime for political reasons" left.

re: #114 hermeneutics

Is that the correct order, cardinal over bishop? What about an archbishop?

Cardinal over bishop and archbishop. Cardinals pick the Pope, but they don't necessarily have to have been bishops first.

John Cardinal Henry Newman (for which Newman Centers on campus are named) was a cardinal who was never a bishop.

re: #129 hermeneutics
IIRC, Steven's would have to get 3 other Justices to agree to have the SCOTUS review the case. But I honestly don't see that happening.

If I'm wrong, however and Steven's does find any US Constitutional issues, and convinces 3 other Justices to agree, then it goes to the entire SCOTUS (at which point the other three and indeed, even Stevens, could change their minds "upon further reflection.
SCOTUS REALLY HATES getting involved in voting issues as they are usually the province of the States, not the Feds, but if the Republicans make the argument that by NOT preventing ACORN from registering non-qualified voters, then that is tantamount to depriving legitimate voters to have THEIR votes counted and their "voices" quietened.

This is what ran on Hockey Night in Canada while the Simpsons writers and FOX saw fit to belittle American troops and demean their efforts.

re: #136 Fen way_Nation

AGOG! I hate, HATED that episode. That episode just made our troops look evil and stupid. Ya like the US military would recruit children. Go find a country that really does that like all Islamic nations in the Middle East and North Korea.

That's true, though it very rarely happens. The normal progression is priest, monsignor, bishop, archbishop, then cardinal. Only cardinal's are eligible to replace a pope.

re: #185 arizona9
Yeah and 2 or 3 has to be within the margin of error so that would make it a dead heat. I'm troubled by two things from the Gallup poll: One is that Obama apparently still holds a 6 point lead and two that McCain's numbers haven't gone up at all.
But it's still just a poll and it's still too early to take the polls too seriously.
But I do wonder what Rassmussen's numbers are?

re: #180 Fenway_Nation

Funny.....you'd think the writers would be in favor of gun control as well.

No, not so much. They're not the biggest fans of guns, but in more than one episode (the Halloween episode where gun control leaves the town vulnerable to an undead gang featuring the James Brothers being a particular example) they have generally accepted the need for good guys to sometimes actually need to fight bad guys.

Besides, now that he's been vetted, he can start his political career. I, for one, believe him to be far better qualified to be President than Barack Obama is.

The question was VERY PROPERLY FRAMED by McCain as "Class warfare, take from small business owners and give it to those who, apparently, "need it" but can't work the 12-14 days, 7 days a week that Joe does to get that income."
And no amount of dirt they dig up on Joe is gonna change that and the voters heard that, too.

I hope you get it, Rawmuse. I remember your anecdotes about the different police exams, etc. and at the time I was sorta angry you didn't get that job -- you certainly qualified!

Maybe this time ...

Oh, let it be this time ...

re: #229 edgar

Maybe a job giving polygraphs?

Actually I have applied for a job in Law Enforcement, but fortunately for you, it has nothing to do with Mobys.

Gotta get some sleep, Lizards. TTYS!

re: #234 Meremortal

I stepped within inches of a small rattle snake on my evening hike today. Since I was on a heavily used trail (by dogs and humans) I dispatched it.

Watch out for the little ones, they are the most dangerous....they let go of ALL their venom when they bite, unlike the older ones that "dose it out" with each strike.

Yes, they gave another chance. I did better on subsequent interviews. I did not try to make them laugh.

re: #225 Desert Dog

Always carry a flagon of whiskey in case of snakebite and furthermore always carry a small snake.

Mmmm, whiskey! Make mine Scotch, preferably single malt.

re: #235 Palandine

I am Joe the Plumber. I am Sarah Palin.

The media are lying. They lie. It's what they do. They are telling lies about a private citizen who dared to ask the Messiah a question. They are telling lies about supposed threats at Palin events. They are lying about Sarah Palin. They tell lies to defend the Messiah. The polls are a joke.

I tell you, November will be a good month--McCain/Palin will win and the media and the pollsters will be exposed for the talentless partisan hacks they are.

I hope you a right on all counts. But I think after Obamarama loses the media will learn nothing from their exposure and instead go into one of their lengthy circle-jerks about "angry white men" or some-such crapola.

I think you guys are weird. She looks fine. Do you expect her to NOT look Asian?

Couldn't she at least try?

That would make me a happy, happy camper. Nobama, and a grand comeuppance for the M(endacious) S(limeball) Media.

Yes, but straight up, as W.C. used to say: "I drink whiskey straight, no water. Water? fish fuck in it you know!"
