    I promised my wife that today I won't even mention the MOUNTAIN MEADOWS MASSACRE.

    I think that there should be a screenplay written for a full length movie- than put that up for sale and bankrupt the Mormon Church when they buy it to block production.

    Good morning...

    NY Times: Time for Bush to Go.

    Thanksgiving is next week, and President Bush could make it a really special holiday by resigning.

    In happier days, Bush may have nurtured hopes of making it into the list of America’s mediocre presidents, but somewhere between Iraq and Katrina, that goal became a mountain too high.

    If Bush gives up doing nothing by giving up his job, it’s possible that someday history might elevate him to the ranks of the below average.

    “Doing nothing is almost the worst thing a president can do,” said the historian Michael Beschloss.

    Norm Coleman is hanging on to his whisker-thin lead over Al Franken. With 64 percent of the 2.9 million ballots recounted, Coleman is ahead by 120 votes.

    "For the last eight years, we've observed Karl Rove's non-reality based universe in which logic was entirely abandoned in lieu of whatever reality the administration invented in order to serve its ridiculous policies and to mask its glaring nincompoopery."

    Our long national nightmare is almost over.

    Tuned in Conan last night as Rachel Maddow was to be a guest. Don't watch Conan as a rule because he is terrible. Last night he did a "bit" about the Clintons that was very offensive and IMO completely out of line. I am not a huge fan of the Clintons but this was way over the top. Not funny. Couldn't stay long enough to see Rachel. Sorry about that. And NBC is replacing Leno with who????
  • ShirleyGoodnessanMercy · 1 year ago
    Conan sucks. Who picks these morons to host the late night shows? Are they unaware that there are a few non-white people in America they could give a show to? And there are a few women, too!

    As much as I hate the GOP, I am thoroughly disgusted by the democratic party's lack of spine
  • ShirleyGoodnessanMercy · 1 year ago
    On the Bob Geiger cartoon page was a link to a comic clip by The Onion. Very funny. I found this hilarious take-off on Cindy McCain there. So if you can use an Onion-style political chuckle...

    I call on the Republican Party to relinquish operations and disband, without delay.

    Ha! Look who's talking. BTW, Warren lives in Kennebunkport, ME; wonder if he's best buds with the Bushes? Speaking of dysfunctionality...

    On this anniversary of JFK's assassination, Shakespeare:

    And, when he shall die,
    Take him and cut him out in little stars,
    And he will make the face of heaven so fine
    That all the world will be in love with night
    And pay no worship to the garish sun.

    There is just something about having money that changes people, no matter what their background...

    Meanwhile, it was 16 degrees here in the mild Piedmont of NC...doubtless, many suffered last night and the power went out before dawn for thousands of people. Why can't the power companies fix their grids so this doesn't happen when we're in the grip of a 2 week hell frozen over period?

    Is Alaska big enough for celebrity Palin?
    November 22, 2008 7:30 AM EST

    ANCHORAGE, Alaska - Oprah wants her, and so do Letterman and Leno. Fresh from her political defeat, Sarah Palin is juggling offers to write books, appear in films and sit on dozens of interview couches at a rate that would be astonishing for most Hollywood stars, let alone a first-term governor.

    ...

    Palin is considering about 800 requests for appearances from December through 2009, with 75 percent coming from out of state. A year ago, just a sprinkle of requests came from beyond Alaska's borders. They range from invitations to speak at The Chief Executives' Club of Boston to attend a 5-year-old's birthday party, from a prayer breakfast in Cedar Rapids, Iowa, to a business conference in Britain.


    Apparently, we haven't seen the last of her. Sounds to me like she will certainly run in 2012.

    My partner, son, and I just received notices from Blue Cross Blue Shield of Alabama that our insurance is going up by $30.00 per month each....why? One reason is that we are not allowed to have a "family "plan with BC/BS. We had to purchase three individual policies.....do not tell me "seperate but equal" can work !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
  • cowboyneok · 1 year ago
    EXACTLY, Necer23, share this information far and wide!
  • cowboyneok · 1 year ago
    The only thing better than the resignation letter would be if I could be a fly on the wall, and watch that Sack o' Shit Cheney read it!
