Truth be known, I wouldn't be nearly as concerned about the MN race if it was anyone other than Franken in the runoff. Long before he slithered into the political world, I considered him an unfunny, sniveling creep who was almost physically painful to watch in action. Seating a petulant, spiteful, terminally-adolescent nerd like himself in the Senate would be a disaster for Minnesota, and the nation.

I called in with a joke one time that the host didn't laugh at (same host I cracked the "frequent caller" joke to). In fact there was a weird moment of silence before I said, "that was a joke". He instead decided to take me seriously and launched into a great rant making some great points about American freedom. Good times.

Did you notice that Obama is still a socialist?

So far, I disagree. I think Obama is a socialist wannabe who is about to be completely bitch-slapped by reality. So, far, I think he's doing some smart things.

The good news (?) is that the world is much more competitive and developed now and socialism will erode our prosperity much quicker than 20 years ago. The fundamentals of Reagan may be welcomed back sooner than we think.

When I heard that Chambliss won it brought tears to my eyes and I said a quick prayer of thanks. I can't believe it's come to this, but I'm grateful that at least the Democrats won't have an unstoppable steamroller.
Now the Republicans need to close goddamned ranks. First one I hear of talking about bi-partisanship or reaching accross the aisle, my heads going to explode.....

close rank, and grow a set so they can actually challenge some of the stuff getting ready to come down the pipes. Hopefully they haven't forgotten the word "conservatism"....

I wrote an open letter to the Senators.

This open letter is addressed to Senators who believe their oath to uphold the Constitution of the United States of America is above party politics, personal prestige, or career advancement.

Once again a few men and women stand upon a pivot of history. Once again a mere handful will determine the fate of nations and people. This time the burden falls on your shoulders, the decisions you make in the next two years will determine whether the Constitution of the United States of America stands, or is irreparably changed.

You, a United States Senator sought high office. You took an oath to uphold, defend, and protect the ideals set forth in the Constitution. You’ve chosen this place and time to serve, history and posterity calls you now to do your sworn duty.

Saxby Chambliss kicked ass in his Georgia runoff against the Democrat. Kicked ass. Most of the MSM reports curiously do not tell you how broadly he crushed his opponent. Here's on that does...

[Link: www.bloomberg.com...]

Chambliss received 60.2 percent of the vote to 39.8 percent for Martin with 60 percent of the precincts reporting, according to the Associated Press

The interesting thing about this runoff is there was no way for the Dems to monkey with it. No dubious parade of losers pawning ballots for wine and cigarettes. No Acorn. No secret counting. No lost and discovered ballots. Just an honest race. And see how that worked out.

Maybe they ought to have a new election in Minnesota. Huh?

The Illinois open seat due to Obama resigning to be President of US
Evan Bayh of Indiana
Barbara Mikulski of Maryland
Harry Reid of Nevada

That, and keeping Harold Ford out of the Senate in 2006 (and denying homeboy AlGore in 2000) should give Tennessee near-celebrity status in conservative circles.

That's my assessment as well. The GOP has to start somewhere, and that's in the House, where if they play their cards right (and I have my doubts), they could start picking off seats, especially if Democrats continue to push socialist policies and none of them actually work - extending the gloom and doom on Wall Street and Main Street.

If the economy really goes sour, or heaven forbid a major terror attack occurs domestically, all bets are off as to what happens in 2010, especially the latter.

Personally Sig, Glocks never seem to fit my hand. Nothing against Glocks, it's my hands. H&K's fit like a glove but too pricey.

First thing in a primary defense weapon is ease of use and comfort in shooting. You what a gun that feels natural. Guns you have to work at are fine for the range, and are lots of fun. But when the chips are down, the shooting part has to automatic, allowing you to focus on the decision process.

Mumbai update.....
Cops just had 577 rifles, hadn't fired in 10 yrs


The state constabulary was grossly unprepared to deal with the worst-ever terror attacks on the metropolis because of an acute shortage of weapons and ammunition.

Official records show that for a force of well over 1.8 lakh, the home department procured a meagre 2,221 weapons — 577 for Mumbai, and 1,644 for the rest of Maharashtra.

‘‘Under the centrally sponsored modernisation programme, we purchased almost all types of weapons, but for a state like Maharashtra, the number of weapons was grossly inadequate ,’’ a senior official told TOI on Monday.

In the absence of a firing range and of ammunition for practice, members of the law enforcement agencies have not opened fire in the last ten years. ‘‘I’ve been in the police force for a long time, but I had no occasion to open fire for practice,’’ a senior inspector of police said.


Not surprising.

re: #23 mamashawna

OT.........AAARRRGGG! This crap drives me nuts: Bangladesh problems due to climate change!

From the BBC (I know, I know...) but there is a slide show of pics, showing what the poor Bangladeshi's are going through all due to climate change! complete with dead bodies...

How DO we put a stop to this shit?

What else would cause sea levels to rise, other than climate change?

I know: meteors hitting the water and filling the oceans.

No wait: comets hitting the earth. Comets are mostly made of water ice.

No wait: ummm, the expansion of the universe is causing water molecules to each get bigger. That's it!

Fact is, even a few centimeters of rising sea level will flood a few tens of meters of Bangladeshi land. The grade is danged near zero going inland. If, as projected, sea levels rise several meters, a lot of Bangladesh is going to go underwater.

The current non-islamist terrorist problem in Northeast India is in some part due to clashes between illegal immigrant Bangladeshis (well, yeah, they're all Muslim) and native, (well, yeah, polytheist) hill tribes people of India's frontier provinces. But it's the tribesmen planting the bombs on trains etc. They imagine that if they were and independent country, Indian rules and regulations wouldn't hinder their quarrel with the immigrants, (legal Hindu immigrants also being a sore point). What they probably don't figure on is that without the Indian army, there would be nothing to stop those Bangladeshi immigrants. Hill tribespeople, backward, poorly armed, and few, cannot stop even an informal invasion from Bangladesh. From where they sit, Bangladesh is a first-world superpower.

And why do Bangladeshis want hill tribe land? Partly because their own land is going under water. It's not land well suited to Bangladeshi farming methods. It's maybe not even well suited to farming of any sort. But a desperate man will try anything.

Maybe they're warming up for a while ? I said it on a previous register thread:
it takes courage to post here, where the fact checking lizard army with it's vast knowledge and sharp wit might knock your socks off in minutes.

Maybe I am jaundiced a bit - been posting here since before registration around the time the Iraq War started. I wouldn't feel intimidated - a lot of what folks post is opinion or just chatter. I guess I tend to the opinion / link side of things and don't chat a lot. As for getting fact checked, it is usually easy to qualify an assertion (by using IIRC or some other qualifier) or to simply check for yourself via google before posting so that you can back it up.

One tool that I have found useful but uncommon is silobreaker in that you can put in a vague topic and find many specific articles on that topic as well as tangents. You can then find interesting things to add to a discussion.
