I used to worry that airport lounges held cultish Hari Krishnas and the mettlesome racket of their chants. Now I'm afraid of the brutish, hairy kitsch of cowboys and the full metal jackets in their pants.
The 160th trimester...perfectly abortable.
"I've asked God to forgive my manifold sins and wickedness...next question."

Meanwhile, the stock market is officially in "bear" territory, Dow off 100 pts, although it seems to be "climbing" due to a govt "consumer confidence" report that says it went up .2% in June...somebody rich must have bought a yacht.
Oh, and he married a rich woman to advance his career.
Why do Republicans hate women?
McCain moving away 2500 miles from his 3 young kids ( 2 which he adopted).
He moved to Arizona. Left his 3 young kids behind.
If John McCain is so selfish that he would treat his 3 young kids like that......then WHY would you think he would care about us?
???????
McCain to Reporter "Yes is was vary Bigamy."
:>D
I have longed believed that the way McSame handled his first marriage/divorce is an indication of poor character. Even if he has admitted he was a ridiculous cad overly controlled by the random quiverings of his peepee every time a set of boobs walked by. . .when a man is past the age of 40 and still dicking around like he's a 20 year old Casenova despite the vows issued before the state and God, he has no business pontificating about the "sanctity" of marriage. And the people should be allowed to question the character of a man who entered middle age picking out wedding rings with wife #2 while still married to wife #1.
Boy! what a catch!
this is the storyline for the election. How Obama doesn't measure up to their standards and how he is somehow a complete disappointment and failure while McCain is a hero and can do no wrong.
Get use to it.
You thought suicide was painless? Try marriage. (Except for gays and lesbians, of course.)
Michelle Obama: “From a fashion viewpoint, Michelle Obama looks so comfortable and relaxed in her style and her fashion, and she exudes that. She has a presence that gives you confidence in her.”
Cindy McCain: “Cindy McCain looks like someone has twisted her pony tail into a knot and tried to give her a face lift.”

The only thing that might have happened -- and this is not uncommon -- is that the divorce was granted retroactively. This is usually done where someone has remarried before their divorce was final. The judge can backdate the divorce to make the new marriage valid.
The Times story is very incomplete for not pursuing these angles.
Very often, people think they are divorced when they are not. It's a more common mistake than people think. I used to work in divorce court. You would not believe the number of people who thought their divorce was final, when it wasn't, and went ahead and got married.
Part of that is due to what's called the "Home Depot" syndrome in legal matters. Many people have been trained to think that lawyers are all evil and that they can handle these very complicated matters themselves. Most can't. They fill out the initial divorce papers and then go on their way, thinking they are divorced automatically in six months, when actually they have to fill out another set of horribly complicated documents to make it final.
A lot of them just go on their way and remarry, thinking they are divorced. It's only when someone government agency asks to see the divorce judgment that they realize they weren't really divorced. The retroactive decree is a way to help them out of a very sticky legal situation.

Does that mean he lied on the marriage license application?
Shouldn't these same people be angrily issuing press releases announcing their intention to file suit in court demanding the state of Arizona dissolve the second McSame marriage on not only adultery charges but intent to legally wed another woman while still married to the first?
Busboy is evil.
Principles!

Anger in the workplace -- employees and employers who are grumpy, insulting, short-tempered or worse -- is shockingly common and likely growing as Americans cope with woes of rising costs, job uncertainty or overwhelming debt, experts say.
I also think a lot of it is the total loss of any privacy. Most offices have gone to cubicles. You can shove more people into less space, be able to confirm they never take or make a personal call and monitor how often they go to the washroom. Where I work the instituted a computer sign in/sign out. You even have to log when you go for a dump. All emails are read by supervisors and each phone has a log which shows the number calling or called. We also went to smaller workspaces. The average cube is 4 feet by 2-1/2. If you want to have more workplace killings continue to crash people together. As a manager I have to sit in my former office with 3 other managers. Our desks are pushed together so we form a square in the room. If i need to speak with any of the people reporting to me it is in front of the other 3 managers. there is no space left to have a private discussion on performance or a worker's concerns. Management could give a flying, fiddler's, f**k about what any one thinks about it. The rising tension in the office was made worse when a year or so ago they moved the whole plant 35 miles, which is more convenient for the owner, but staff had to drive. When someone commented, the owner told us all that the pizza shops in the nearby town were hiring drivers, if you don't like it get out. Nice, hope he is the first to bite the dust.
Has he been claiming any benefits like on taxes all these years by being married that he would now have to give up?
Is the GOP leaking this to us so they can get another candidate?
Plus, you've deliberately distorted this story to make it sound worse than it is. In both your headline and text you claim McCain was married to two women at the same time. However, the media source you quote clearly states that he wed Cindy FIVE WEEKS AFTER the divorce from his first wife was granted.
And the date a marriage license is taken out at a court house has no bearing on anything. It's the date the license was executed that counts.
These kind of personal attacks, especially when they are deliberately distorted, diminish your credibility when you make a legitimate attack on McCain's qualifications and policies.
What a joke that is almost as good as Dad's "mcpolygamist" post...
You post as you think best on your blog and John will do the same on his blog.
See how that works?
Frankly I don't think he and the thugs are going to suceed with any whisper campaign. I mean how dumb would it be to start a whisper campaign that Obama has illigetimate black children like Rove did about McCan't. I remember the same rumor being circulated in the tabloids when Bill was running for pres.
these hypocratic marriage protectors make me absolutely sick.
Semper Fidelis, John McCain.

They better never open their mouths about Michelle Obama!
It is unfortunate that this lifetime loser and freeloader, affirmative action U.S. Navy Academy graduate 5th from the bottom, responsible for 4 crashed airplanes before getting shot out of the sky by a missile the size of a telephone pole; racking up one of the worst senate absenteeism records in the history of the U.S. Senate; and who earlier this week said of the most successful government program in the history of the nation, paying monthly benefits, on time , every time, AND EXACTLY AS IT WAS ESTABLISHED TO DO, FOR THE PAST 68+ YEARS - MCCAIN DESCRIBED AS AN ABSOLUTE DISGRACE. Yes, McDoofus said the Social Security is an absolute disgrace! A program that has done exactly as it was designed to do. Social Security was and is NOT a pension plan, and was never meant to be. It's an old age, widows and orphans assistance program. It's insurance. A program that had the MSM had played it as it should have, McCain could kiss off Florida and Arizona right now. If seniors knew just how stupidly evil and how unqualified McCain actually is, and he was running for dog catcher in Cowlic, AZ they would vote for the freaklin' dog. McCain has always been a liar, a loser, and was a loose-lipped, loud mouth propagandists for North Vietnam. .Google Songbird of North Vietnam . He's got the bully temperament but caves in the face of power. He's got a Rottweiler mouth and Chihuahua ass.
The Arizona state statures define requirements for marriage and for marriage licenses and lists them at http://www.azleg.state.az.us/arizonarevisedstat....
If you look at it you find the reality of what is required to get a license at Aticle 3 section 25-121 titled "Marriage license; application; affidavit". It lists the requirements for license and there is no consideration of divorce or previous marriage.
Section 25-123 addresses "Recording Licenses" as Arizona requires (as do all other states) the license to be filled out (identifying pertinent information - date, signatures, etc) and sent back to the state for recording of the marriage. The State considers it a contract and as such it must be recorded.
The LA Times article as presented contradicts the very facts it presents by claiming that two marriages existed at once. Ultimately there is nothing presented here that in any way impugns the man's honor.
Ultimately, the author would be presented in a much more reasonable light if his accusations were not defeated by his presented facts.
Somehow, the word "propaganda" cames to mind. (Look it up, be aware. You will be much better for the understanding.)
