Thursday, February 04, 2010

A San Francisco Superior Court judge ruled Wednesday that the Schwarzenegger administration acted legally when it enforced a new law that eliminated two former state holidays — including Lincoln's Birthday next week.

in thier DEMOCRAT controlled bankrupt state.

would it have made more sense to give them the holidays but UNPAID????

The state employee unions will be in an uproar! So much so, they'll probably ADD two days before it's over - taking bets?

Lincoln's birthday and Columbus Day. How many private employees get those days off? Every state and local government in America should be following Ahhnold's lead.

but them working still costs money...let them have the two days...just dont pay them...

the depression the was averted is back...wanna buy an apple?

dont forget your cup of pencils

and some window wash and a towel couldnt hurt.

Ive got it easier..I could always sing for my supper.........hee hee

It seems Tooty-Flutes has suffering from the recent outbreak of 'revisionist' disease.

Appears to be real a problem with the repubs lately.

"The Clinton surpluses were actually ours"

"No terrorist attacks ever happened under Bush"

"Governor Arnold is a democrat"

"The Clinton surpluses were actually ours"

see this is where common and I show how we deserve to be POSTER OF THE YEAR..

I can 'see' him with a little shit eating smile on his face while he types these things....

funny stuff.

WHAT hasn't been forgotten IS that everyone KNOWS you're a retarded ASSHOLE

I, for one, dont think the surpluses were gop's

but they certainly wouldnt have happened without the 94 'revolution'..anyone thinking that is out to lunch.

arnold is not a dem...he is a republican...but not conservative.

and AFTER 9/11 there were no such attacks....

and in less than one year under barry

arkansas recruiter
FORT HOOD....
and by MERE GOOD LUCK...there werent 300 dead in detroit..

so is THIS the sort of game you want us to play??

I think not.

THANK you so much for your incredibly able input.
I know that I, for one, just can hardly wait for your response and wonderfully insightfull comments just after pushing the publish block.
AND here is hoping that you continue to make CELISARY proud.
I know that I will take your comments and give them all of the indepth consideration they so richly deserve.

"and AFTER 9/11 there were no such attacks....

So you're not counting the thwarted shoe bomber, but you're counting the thwarted underwear bomber?

What a fuckin' hack.

Aside from the massive assault on the World Trade Center killing thousands, no attacks occurred on the homeland under Bush!

--Bushtards

Chair...according to Sarah Fluffybumpers, the word "retarded" is now verbotten . But as far as I know, "asshole" is still ok according to Mel Gibson.

okay take off the underwear bomber if that will keep you from drooling with convulsion...

remember the shoe bomber was RIGHT AFTER 9/11 and there wasnt the security things in place BY BUSH that kept us from another 9/11 attack...PERIOD and even you cant rewrite that.

Christmas is a religous holiday, so why are all the government offices closed? Seems like a logical, liberal conclusion that this would be disallowed due to "seperation of church and state", and highly offensive. Where's the Anti Christ Lawyers Union while this is happening?

"okay take off the underwear bomber if that will keep you from drooling with convulsion..."

You're the one with the moronic comparisons.

"that kept us from another 9/11 attack...PERIOD and even you cant rewrite that."

Yeah...all the Bush defenders want to pretend the world began on 9/12/01. Gee, except for the worst attack on American soil EVER, Bush protected us pretty well!

So much for the Fox-Republican led recovery of the Golden State....This State RECALLED Grey Davis from the Governor office to replace him with a bumbling idiot Movie star, you know the type that the Fox-Republicans constantly tell Americans not to pay attention to......If this wasn't so Pathetic it would be funny........

THANK you so much for your incredibly able input.

One idiot endorsing another one.

"This State RECALLED Grey Davis from the Governor office to replace him with a bumbling idiot Movie star"

And Ahnold's first action was to borrow an additional $15 billion.

Yeah...all the Bush defenders want to pretend the world began on 9/12/01. Gee, except for the worst attack on American soil EVER, Bush protected us pretty well!

and obama and his ag are all about moving us back to 9/10/01...

and that is going to get people killed.

One idiot endorsing another one.

#22 | Posted by RingMaster at 2010-

well considering that the whole post was clearly sarcastic, maybe a good question would be..who's the idiot now?

lol...ah,....good one huh???????

and obama and his ag are all about moving us back to 9/10/01...

and that is going to get people killed.

so could be a good debate for another time

goddamn dems have moved us back to 9/10 mentality and thinking...and we are supposed to be locked into a 9/12 mentality

so whose way of thinking will get more people killed?

never mind I know the answer

AND THATS A WRAP>..
LUNCH!!!!!!!!!

"and obama and his ag are all about moving us back to 9/10/01..."

Another moronic statement.

The same people who praised the shoe bomber being tried in court are complaining that the underwear bomber will be tried in court.

"and we are supposed to be locked into a 9/12 mentality"

Bcause that'S what Glennnnnnnnnnnnnn Beck says we r sposed to b doing, stand?

UH OH, lady with th e mEaLS on WHEEls is driving downe tha streeeet

EiTHEr herr or the GOOD HUMOR MAN!!!!!!!!!!

Uh-oh, you're in for it now, Danforth. Don't you know we're supposed to have gone through a memory wipe when it comes to the B-u-s-h years?

and by MERE GOOD LUCK...there werent 300 dead in detroit.."

There wasn't a chance in hell that bomb could ever go off...it was pure stupidity on the behalf of the bomb makers...that type of explosive needs a percussion to be set off...for example a blasting cap...you could hold a flame to that stuff till the sheeple come home and all you would end up with is a pile of gooey fertilizer.

At least they're theoretically doing something for the money, instead of nothing for the money.

At least they're not wasting taxpayer funded space at the library, all morning.

But you'll just keep cashing those socialist SS and taxpayer funded pension checks, right Comrade? And using the socialist computers at the socialist library? Dah?

I'm not sure what afk is abl 2 do, but if he thinks putting Rethuglicans back in charge will solve our problems he's dumber than dirt.

The fucking Bankers have taken the same amount in bonuses that it would take to balance the budgets of 38 States, yet Obama, just like Shrub, gave California the cold shoulder while handing out $13 trillion to the fucking Bankers, free money with no conditions, unfucking believable. People need to be jailed for this bullshit, yet no sign of action whatsoever.

Actually, what's got the public pissed out here in CA is a new law which just took effect reducing the percentage of time a convict serves in local jail on a sentence. Went from 2/3 down to 1/2. Expected to save tens of millions of dollars a year Statewide.

for the record neither should have been allowed on the planes. the underwear bomber had raised about a dozen red flags that should have kept him off the plane

and AFTER 9/11 there were no such attacks....

Oh, that's right. 9/11, the biggest terrorist attack on our soil, is to be forgotten and ignored when defending Bush and his record on terrorism. Forget the shoe-bomber too...never happened.

Less than a year under Barry? Wasn't 9/11 less than 8 months into Shrub's 1st term?

so is THIS the sort of game you want us to play??

I think not.

Hell YES I want to play!

Let's put the cards on the table, baby!

- 9/11/2001, 3 planes at once, two American monuments lost, about 3000+ Americans killed on our soil has led to over 4000 troops killed and 1 trillion dollar in spending on wars and counting.

- 9/2001, Anthrax attack or Amerithrax, no one ever caught but a suspect was revealed in 2008 who later committed suicide.

- 12/22/2001, Richard Reed, shoe bomber, attempted to blow up plane, was stopped by passengers, tried in a civilian court about a month after authorization for tribunals available

- 7/2002 attack against El Al ticket counter at Los Angeles airport. In July 2002, Just like the Fort Hood guy, Hesham Mohamed Hadayet opened fire at an El Al Airlines ticket counter at Los Angeles International Airport killing two people and wounding four others before being shot dead. A 2004 Justice Department report stated that Hadayet's case had been "officially designated as an act of international terrorism."

-2002 DC-area sniper. The state of Virginia indicted Washington, D.C.-area sniper John Allen Muhammad -- along with his accomplice, a minor at the time -- on "an act of terrorism" for one of the murders he committed during a three-week shooting spree across Maryland, Virginia, and Washington, D.C. Muhammad was convicted, sentenced to death, and subsequently executed for the crime.

- 2006 UNC SUV attack. In March 2006, University of North Carolina-Chapel Hill graduate Mohammed Reza Taheri-azar drove an SUV into an area of campus, striking nine pedestrians. According to reports, Taheri-azar said he acted because he wanted to "avenge the deaths or murders of Muslims around the world." Taheri-azar also reportedly stated in a letter: "I was aiming to follow in the footsteps of one of my role models, Mohammad Atta, one of the 9/11/01 hijackers, who obtained a doctorate degree."

The West Coast Airliner Plot: In mid-2002, the United States disrupted a plot to attack targets on the West Coast using hijacked airplanes. The plotters included at least one major operational planner involved in planning the events of Sept. 11.

The East Coast Airliner Plot: In mid-2003, the United States and a partner disrupted a plot to attack targets on the East Coast using hijacked commercial airplanes.

The Jose Padilla Plot: In May 2002, the United States disrupted a plot that involved blowing up domestic apartment buildings. One of the alleged plotters, Jose Padilla, also allegedly discussed the possibility of using a "dirty bomb" in the United States.

I'll get some more for you.

I was wondering if we had forgotten about anthrax and the sniper when touting Bush's post-9/11 terrorist creds. Glad to see somebody here besides Rob the A Hole lives up to his or her moniker.

The doc hits another nail on the noggin, right out of the ballpark, if you'll pardon the mixed metaphor, with "we're supposed to have gone through a memory wipe when it comes to the B-u-s-h years." Amen and hallelujah. Bush is still the reason were 88 miles up Shit Creek with no paddle. Grand Old Obstructionists who'd prosecute The Big O for being polite to a Japanese emperor seem to forget that Papa Bush barfed over Japanese shoes and his no-good son tried to feel up Angela Merkel. hrm

California's state workers are permanently on vacation; look at the mess the state is in. They deserve zero days off since they work none of them to California resident's benefit in the first place.

Been to the DMV lately? Seen the potholes? Seen the traffic gridlock? Seen the fines, fees, taxes? Seen the perks of both elected office and civil service public employees?

Question: Why in the hell do people with Civil Service Protection for their jobs need to be Union organized?!! They negotiate their salaries and perks with politicians, not the people who have skin in the game, that is, the taxpayers! Taxpayers are completely left out of the negotiations but get stuck with the bill.

California is circling the drain with its high taxes and anti-business climate; America is following with this profligate anti-Business Obama administration. They say "As California Goes, So Goes America". G-D help us, cuz, apparently no one in leadership in California will.

Well, Columbus Day is a joke anyway.

"The Clinton Surpluses?"

There were no Clinton surpluses. For all you jackasses who believe there were go to the treasury department website and see that the national debt rose every year under Clinton. Then try to remember that next time you make this bullshit claim.

"There were no Clinton surpluses."

That's true.

But Clinton got it closer than anyone in over a generation, and would have had a true surplus budget (not using SS overcollections) the following year. Instead, Bush inherited the projected surpluses for each year of his Presidency but instead chose tax cuts aimed at the wealthiest, and an invasion of Iraq.

And as a sidelight, Clinton's predecessor and successor both used SS overcollections to mask the size of their debt. The "Clinton surpluses" were merely via use of the same (bogus) formula everyone else uses.

Posted by buzkiller

Hey blumpkinqueefer, find a literate person to read the contents of this link to you. The non-partisan Congressional Budget Office has gone on record confirming the Clinton surpluses did exist. Unfortunately, Dumya practiced 'shock and awe' on the economy which resulted in 8 consecutive budget deficits, culminating with the trillion dollar monster Obama entered office with.
