Really. What is this closeted gay man doing hanging on McCain? Or is McCain's playboy image a cover for him? It is creepy, and mostly because Graham is creepy.

Don't ever underestimate Palin's overweening ambition; her lies, deception and fantastical rhetoric are custom made for the Koolaid drinkers out there.
Keeping my fingers crossed re the Senate vote tomorrow on LIEberman, too. Would like to be a fly on the wall when Obama meets with McBush...

Palin is the female version of Ann Coulter. if she doesn't fizzle, look for the rightwing commentariat to start putting more lipstick on their "message". and don't be surprised to see an official Palin line of cosmetics before xmas.

Agree one must keep a watchful eye on Palin ....... she reeks dishonesty for advancement at anyone's cost. As for Lieberman . . . hope he finally gets his "due" for his historic position of swaying in the direction of who at the time might best provide him personal gain at the cost of many. He's long over due!

Around here, xmas mdse was put out in a number of stores at the beginning of Sept. Seems they know people might have to buy gifts and decorations over a period of months now, if they buy anything at all. And even Sears has rejuvenated the "layaway" plan, along with many stores, as I heard on the radio this am.

Good grief...Koolaid drinkers/rightwing nuts on CSPAN now alleging that Obama's "grandmother in Kenya" has signed an affidavit stating that she was "in the room in Kenya" when Barack was born. (Being flogged in WorldNutDaily, per my search.)
The movement to try to stop Obama from taking office is still alive and [not] well...

I watched Mike Hucklberry's show on Fox with my early morning coffee. It was seemingly all about the evils of discrimination.
He kept asking Kelsey Grammar if he hadn't lost work and been blackballed in Hollywood because he's a Republican. Kelsey, fortunatey did not take the bait.
Not so his other guests, some supporters of Proposition H8, who were just so upset that people were attaching people of fait--people of FAITH--for voting to uphold tradition and their Christian values against four activist judges. How can they attack PEOPLE OF FAITH? Isn't discrimination awful?

Just caught ABCs' morning news show covering the fires in SoCal. They showed a two story house in flames with a "Yes on 8" sign prominently displayed in the window. I'm just sayin.....
My remarks to them were to ask the question: Is it all right for "christians" to lie? If not, take down the ignorant message on your church sign.

The best news is that Palin has to go back to being Governor, it's cold there, and the oil money is about 40% down, so it will be harder to pay off the citizens to like you.
She has no way into the limelight for at least 2 1/2 years. YAY
Brother, Can You Spare a Dime lyrics by Yip Harburg music by Jay Gorney (1931)
They used to tell me I was building a dream, and so I followed the mob, When there was earth to plow, or guns to bear, I was always there right on the job. They used to tell me I was building a dream, with peace and glory ahead, Why should I be standing in line, just waiting for bread?
Once I built a railroad, I made it run, made it race against time. Once I built a railroad; now it's done. Brother, can you spare a dime? Once I built a tower, up to the sun, brick, and rivet, and lime; Once I built a tower, now it's done. Brother, can you spare a dime?
Once in khaki suits, gee we looked swell, Full of that Yankee Doodly Dum, Half a million boots went slogging through Hell, And I was the kid with the drum!
Say, don't you remember, they called me Al; it was Al all the time. Why don't you remember, I'm your pal? Buddy, can you spare a dime?
Once in khaki suits, gee we looked swell, Full of that Yankee Doodly Dum, Half a million boots went slogging through Hell, And I was the kid with the drum!
Say, don't you remember, they called me Al; it was Al all the time. Say, don't you remember, I'm your pal? Buddy, can you spare a dime?
The Ballad of Barack Obama
Born on a mountain top in Havaii The greenest state in the land of the free Raised in the woods so's he knew ev'ry tree Kilt him a b'ar when he was only three Barack, Barack Obama, king of the wild frontier
Fought single-handed through many a war Till the enemy was whipped and peace was in store And while he was handlin' this risky chore He made himself a legend forever more Barack, Barack Obama, the man who knew no fear
He went off to Congress and served a spell Fixin' up the Government and the laws as well Took over Washington, so I heard tell And he patched up the crack in the Liberty Bell Barack, Barack Obama, seeing his duty clear
When he came home his politic'ing was done And the western march had just begun So he packed his gear and his trusty gun And lit out a-grinnin' to follow the sun Barack, Barack Obama, leading the pioneer

We're always on the efensive fighting conservative attacks on gay people.
Maybe we should go on the offensive and attack the conservatives nonstop, as they have done to us. Referenda limiting divorce... referenda ending tax exempt status for churches... referenda ending abortion rights for those whose religions forbid it (only)....

If you haven't noticed we are seeing the slow raping of the American economy, a heist if you will. The mother load of all robbery's
No one is marching, no one is screaming at the tops of their heads, no one is crying foul.
And the heist continues.
The CEO's are starting to see what happens when the citizenry takes matters into their own hands.
Is it deserved? The continued gap between the very rich and the shrinking middle class is a hotbed for this kind of reaction. We shall see more.

and of course here is what phil grammm has to say about these abuses in the last 10 years of deregulation: -------------------------------------------------------- In two recent interviews, Mr. Gramm described the current turmoil as “an incredible trauma,” but said he was proud of his record.
He blamed others for the crisis: Democrats who dropped barriers to borrowing in order to promote homeownership; what he once termed “predatory borrowers” who took out mortgages they could not afford; banks that took on too much risk; and large financial institutions that did not set aside enough capital to cover their bad bets.
But looser regulation played virtually no role, he argued, saying that is simply an emerging myth.
“There is this idea afloat that if you had more regulation you would have fewer mistakes,” he said. “I don’t see any evidence in our history or anybody else’s to substantiate it.” He added, “The markets have worked better than you might have thought.”
Can McCain find his own ass without help from Lindsay?

Bush has entered into his own midnight period, and it promises to be a dark time indeed. Among the many new regulations—or, rather, deregulations—the Administration has proposed are rules that would: make it harder for the government to limit workers’ exposure to toxins, eliminate environmental review from decisions affecting fisheries, and ease restrictions on companies that blow up mountains to get at the coal underneath them. Other midnight regulations in the works include rules to allow “factory farms” to ignore the Clean Water Act, rules making it tougher for employees to take family or medical leave, and rules that would effectively gut the Endangered Species Act.
Most regulations are subject to public input; such is the sense of urgency that the Administration has brought to the task of despoliation that the Interior Department completed its “review” of two hundred thousand public comments on the endangered-species rules in just four days, a feat that, one congressional aide calculated, required each staff member involved to read through comments at the rate of seven per minute. “So little time, so much damage” is how the Times recently put it. http://www.newyorker.com/talk/comment/2008/11/2...

.....and another thing, grammm says his mother and father bought a home in the 50's through a mortgage bank. That this was the American dream.
Ha! The American people have been so bamboozled to think that buying a home on borrowed money is a DREAM????
I called that endentured servitude.
Why do people buy things they can't afford?
