Impeachment is a political act, anything can serve as a pretext. "High crimes and misdeanors" is whatever the house votes them to be. Now, this isn't saying much, just like you can file suit for any reason as long as you have the $15 filing fee, you just can't *prevail* without good arguments. Remember, half the house wants to impeach Bush already for what he has or hasn't done.

Colin Powell is and always has been a liberal opportunist.

It would be quite a miracle if the Trib did a true and in depth article on ACORN and Obama's connections to them. Someone on the Trib's editorial staff would have to put their job (and neck, after all, this is Chicago) on the line.

Perhaps they're re-thinking their endorsement of Obama, but I doubt it.

I've had a fun time watching the daily news picture of the stock market worker. On bad days, the worker has his head in his hands.

I understand the visual, but every site used it again and again. Try an original thought, guys.

On a couple of the good days, they showed a jubilent worker.

But the funniest is today. On yahoo mail, the worker looks pensive - two fingers on his mouth. As if he wants to be happy, but he isn't secure enough in the upswing to be relieved.

The stock market is up over 400 points in one day, but the iconic imagery is one of non-committal neutral emotion.

And what's more, I agree with them. Huge swings of hundreds of points are quite common lately, so today isn't the beginning of good times, or even absolutely the end of bad.

Armada masses off Somalia

15 October 2008 Mons, Belgium — Seven ships from six NATO navies transit the Suez Canal today, on their way to conduct both anti-piracy duties and visit NATO partner nations in the Gulf region.

In response to a UN request, NATO defence ministers last week authorised NATO naval vessels to help protect World Food Programme ships carrying desperately needed supplies to conflict-ridden Somalia.

Standing NATO Maritime Group 2 (SNMG2) already was scheduled to conduct a series of Gulf port visits and will take on the anti-piracy role off the coast of Somalia

Given the very short-notice, details of how the group will conduct the anti-piracy mission and also carry out port visits are still being finalised

SNMG2 is scheduled to visit partners of the Istanbul Cooperation Initiative in Bahrain, Kuwait, Qatar and the United Arab Emirates.
General John Craddock, Supreme Allied Commander Europe, said, “The threat of piracy is real and growing in many parts of the world today, and this response is a good illustration of NATO’s ability to adapt quickly to new security challenges.”

SNMG2 currently comprises ships from Germany, Greece, Italy, Turkey, United Kingdom and United States. Command of SNMG2 is assumed on rotation by contributing nations and currently is Rear Admiral Giovanni Gumiero, Italian Navy. SNMG2 currently comprises:

• ITS Durand de la Penne (flagship, destroyer D560, Italy)
• FGS Karlsruhe (frigate F212, Germany)
• FGS Rhön (auxiliary A1443, Germany)
• HS Themistokles (frigate F465, Greece)
• TCG Gokova (frigate F496, Turkey)
• HMS Cumberland (frigate F85, United Kingdom)
• USS The Sullivans (destroyer DDG 68, USA)

Patrick Fitzgerald is a Crusader. He has another native Chicago Attorney with him,Patrick Collins. Both are incorruptible & mean as snakes.

No sort of Oct. surprise is going to change ANYTHING. There are a majority of Americans who are ready to accept and support more socialism in this country.

I don't like it, but I have actaully spoken to folks who have really said that. This was all professionally set up, first with "we need a change." If you notice, nothing about spreading the wealth appeared early on, just "change."

And now, we find out this change is socialism, or at least a more social democratic way of doing politics.

And these people are SO READY FOR A CHANGE, all this is sounding good to them.

Abraham Lincoln
Property is the fruit of labor...property is desirable...is a positive good in
the world. That some should be rich shows that others may become rich, and hence is just encouragement to industry and enterprise. Let not him who is houseless pull down the house of another; but let him labor diligently and build one for himself, thus by example assuring that his own shall be safe from violence when built."
Abraham Lincoln
Source: March 21, 1864 - Reply to New York Workingmen's
Democratic Republican Association".

Thomas Jefferson (1743-1826) Quotes
To take from one because it is thought that his own industry and that of his father’s has acquired too much, in order to spare to others, who, or whose fathers, have not exercised equal industry and skill, is to violate arbitrarily the first principle of association—the guarantee to every one of a free exercise of his industry and the fruits acquired by it.

I think myself that we have more machinery of government than is necessary, too many parasites living on the labor of the industrious.

When the people fear their government, there is tyranny; when the government fears the people, there is liberty.

I am not a friend to a very energetic government. It is always oppressive

The democracy will cease to exist when you take away from those who are willing to work and give to those who would not.

Most bad government has grown out of too much government.

The two enemies of the people are criminals and government, so let us tie the second down with the chains of the Constitution so the second will not become the legalized version of the first.

A wise and frugal government, which shall restrain men from injuring one another, which shall leave them otherwise free to regulate their own pursuits of industry and improvement, and shall not take from the mouth of labor and bread it has earned. This is the sum of good government.

re: #121 logboy

Highly doubt it. In the eyes of the Big 0 and his supporters Acorn can do no wrong. It will probably be undeniable, irrefutable evidence that McCain and Palin hate black people and non-whites and plan to round them all up into concentration camps once they win the presidency. I know its true too. The family guy told me so last night.

re: #118 semper gumbi

USMC1968 Wife, here is my offering to you in your time of grief:

Eternal Father, strong to save,
Whose arm hath bound the restless wave,
Who bidst the might ocean deep
Its own appointed limits keep;
O, hear us when we cry to Thee
For those in peril on the sea!

Eternal Father, grant, we pray,
To all Marines, both night and day,
The courage, honor, strength, and skill
Their land to serve, thy law fulfill
Be thou the shield forevermore
From every peril to the Corps.

Know that all Soldiers, Sailors, Airmen and Marines will keep USMC1968 in our prayers tonight.

Amen

Gumbi: it this yours and if so, can I use it if the need ever arises?

Glorified and sanctified be God's great name throughout the world which He has created according to His will. May He establish His kingdom in your lifetime and during your days, and within the life of the entire House of Israel, speedily and soon; and say, Amen.

May His great name be blessed forever and to all eternity.

Blessed and praised, glorified and exalted, extolled and honored, adored and lauded be the name of the Holy One, blessed be He, beyond all the blessings and hymns, praises and consolations that are ever spoken in the world; and say, Amen.

May there be abundant peace from heaven, and life, for us

He who creates peace in His celestial heights, may He create peace for us and for all Israel; and say, Amen.

Stewie looks down at his Nazi uniform and notices a McCain/Palin campaign button attached to its lapel, remarking “Huh, that’s weird."

They just put up a comparison of McCain and Obama on taxes:

If your family makes $50,000, you will save $400 MORE under Obama

If your family makes $100,000, you will save $300 MORE under Obama

Then then went on to state that Obama's programs would add $3.5 trillion to the National Debt while McCain's programs would add $5.1 trillion to the national debt.

Apropos of nothing, I was poll watching in Clearwater, in Pinellas County, FL, to watch the early voting. Amazingly enough with all the crying in the media about "No match-no vote" everything seemed to go smoothly.

One woman showed up demanding to see what kinds of ID people were using, and was told that she may not, and no lawyers swooped down.

I didn't see Mickey Mouse or any other ACORN registered non-person attempt to vote, while hundreds did so smoothly in the first shift on the first day. Besides, even if fake registrations made it through and they managed to register, our dedicated poll workers would not let them vote without proper ID. There probably is registration fraud, but in FL we are required to turn in registration forms within 5 days or get fined, no matter what they say. Besides, if Terrell Owens actually showed up to vote, I could have gotten his autograph, dang!

If you wish, feel free to be a part of this community. Many of us care about you, even without knowing you, because of him.

Look who's talking now:

In the past two days alone, Palin has answered questions from her national press corps on three separate occasions. On Saturday, she held another plane availability, and on Sunday, she offered an impromptu press conference on the tarmac upon landing in Colorado Springs. A few minutes later, she answered even more questions from reporters during an off-the-record stop at a local ice cream shop.

By contrast, Biden hasn’t held a press conference in more than a month, and Obama hasn’t taken questions from his full traveling press corps since the end of September. John McCain—who spent most of the primary season holding what seemed like one, never-ending media availability—hasn’t done one since Sept. 23.

Do you think it's time to put her on some of the Sunday talk shows? Assuming she can handle it, it could go a long way to helping convince people she's ready (especially after some conservative pundits have slammed her).

Hey sharm - if you are the one who turned us on to Hillbuzz (and I think you are) THANKS! Hillbuzz rocks.

re: #213 gregg

Look who's talking now:

Do you think it's time to put her on some of the Sunday talk shows? Assuming she can handle it, it could go a long way to helping convince people she's ready (especially after some conservative pundits have slammed her).

I'd love to see Governor Palin and Senator Biden on Meet The Press.

She could be her usual, intelligent, personable self.

And Biden could spend an hour trying to remove his foot from his mouth.

Hey logboy!

Don't know that you remember but we had a chat just before you went off to boot camp.

Glad to see you back, hope you're doing well.

re: #150 Fat Bastard Vegetarian

I should teach my wife how to post on LGF, just in case something happened to me. Gosh.

Get her a separate account. I don't think too many people would be comfortable calling someone Mrs. Fat Bastard Vegetarian.

re: #173 ornery elephant

How can we compete with that kind of advertising?
It sickens me.

re: #222 maddogg

Win their hearts and minds by letting our troops get killed for PC reasons. Thats the ROE's Obama will pursue. He would be a disaster for the armed forces, plain as your face. Too expensive to maintain a standing armed forces, when we have to finance the Obama Youth.

his stated intention to invade Pakistan gives me the whim-whams. I study that region and i get a lot more than he does about effective application of force. Since its my love goin in there, it just drives me nuts. DONT TELL THEM YOURE COMING! for goodness sakes!

this guys a joke. and no common sense to boot.

re: #5 Charles

If pagination is necessary, maybe a limited pagination. Making 100 comments visible at a time. Something like that. Just a suggestion.

Okay, I'm watching local news here on NBC and Nancy Pelosi is here campaigning for a moonbat trying to capture a retiring Republican House seat. After Pelosi speaks, the Majority leader of the House in Minnesota, Margaret Anderson Kelliher, takes the stage to attack the Republican candidate who was in the MN House. She said:

" Erik Paulson didn't vote for those budget cuts because he's a bad person. He simply buys into the philosophy that people should fend for themselves."

I'm not kidding. She said that.

re: #183 Sharmuta

Wow- this guy gets just a little worked up.

"Joy Baher - that fat slob on The View says that's Jo's dream of expanding his business in a fantasy."

Go!
That's right. The left-wing [deleted] she-bitch did say that. Unbelievable.

LOL!

So it was announced last week that Glenn Beck was joining Fox News next spring. I just turned on CNN Headline News and see they have a new show in his usual time slot. That didn't take long.

I'm reminded of the press outrage after the ground attack in the first Gulf war when Gen. Norman Schwarzkopf misled the press to think he was attacking elsewhere first. How dare he mislead the press? His response was to the effect that the press was telling everything they knew which meant the Iraqis knew what the press knew. To tell the truth would give up surprise, make the attack needlessly difficult, and get more American/Coalition soldiers killed. Did the press really want more Americans dead? he asked. The press let it die.

I know my father who was an ex-SEAL was really pissed once when some press were waiting on the beach somewhere when a group of SEALS were coming in not sure where it was ......... not when my father was in but he heard about it ......

During WWII the press took special pains to say nothing that could give even tertiary intel, let alone primary, away to the enemy, because even then they knew that the enemy monitored our radio broadcasts, read our newspapers, and were getting copies of everything going over our wire services. (Not all of the wires went through "friendly" neutral countries.) It wasn't just because the government ordered it so- it was just because they were Americans. (And British, and Canadians, and Australians, and so on.)

Today, they apparently forget those salient facts until forcibly reminded of same.

I'd ask "what the H**l's wrong with them?", but I was taught to avoid rhetorical questions.

LATEST FOX RASMUSSEN POLL: MCCAIN UP BY 1 IN FLORIDA AND 2 IN OHIO

HOPE. (the real kind)

re: #245 FrogMarch

HOPE. (the real kind)

Don't pay attention to polls. They'll either depress you or give you false HOPE. The real poll on November 4 will either depress you or give you real HOPE. Let's HOPE it's the latter.

re: #187 arethusa

See, BHO supporters believe that the veep spot is irrelevant..... after all, they're electing The Immortal, so why even stress..... whereas McCain will expire in days after January 20, he's sooo damn old, so we'd really be electing Palin.
Someone should inform them of the link between maternal longevity and that of their offspring, in which case McCain is the clear winner.

I have a native American friend who says its because all of them have a self hatred and this engenders an unaknowledged deathwish. The wish death on our troops. Destruction to our country and in the end welcome their own destruction.
I was really surprised.
I had been sure she would be for Obama.
Shes not

In the tradition of "I Am Joe," here is window sticker for all the Palin fans:
