Why should the winner pay off the losers debts??

Because that was part of the deal they made when she decided to get out. She quits; he makes her solvent.

I just registered it, but it's yours for $50, Larry.

Nice. McCain leads Obama by 18 points in this poll I just came across:

Wachoo talkin' 'bout, Willis?

A bill essentially legalizing Bush's warrantless surveillance program just sailed through the Democratic House and is expected to sail through the Democratic Senate.

Once again, Nancy and Harry spread their cheeks and welcome an injection of W's special Texas sauce ... Embarrassing, and I am not even a Dem.

"Friggin' Connecticut republicans."

It was the city of New London that was involved in the suit. Not sure if the town council members run as members of a particular party, but you can of course generalize whatever you want. If you look at the group involved, they could easily be a bunch of Obama supporters. Link:

Diebold .... the "fluoridated water" of the new millenium.

If McCain's elected he will resign from office shortly after the election due to "health concerns." It's already a back room, done deal that McCain is running as a temporary shill, a front man in this campaign, in order for the GOP to get in office the real person the Republicans want as their next President. That person will be known to us as soon as McCain picks his VP. My bet on the person who will be chosen by McCain to be his Vice President? Jeb Bush.

Ooo... my nipples just got hard.

Just as it is illegal for my company to not hire someone because their resume says, for example, that they belonged to the College Republicans, it is illegal for a manager in the federal government to do the same thing.

Excellent point, DCinMA. The only gotcha is the "team fit" aspect of hiring that is so much a part of the hiring process these days. Let's assume there is little doubt that the DOJ did what the article says... the issue now becomes whether it was illegal, or simply unseemly. For example, if I indicate in my interview that I am willing to write software code for Microsoft Windows, but I also say that I think Windows sucks and everyone should use LInux, then regardless of my qualifications or my demographic profile, does my potential employer violate any law if he decides not to hire me to code in his Windows shop? Or if I apply for a job in NYC in a department full of Yankees fans, and I put on my resume that I am presdient of the local Red Sox fan club, what are my chances?

Shocking. An administration that hires those whom it likes. Yikes. What next? Congressmen with libidos??

From the article: "...a series of investigations growing out of last year's scandal over the firings of nine United States attorneys." So, the increasingly-irrelevant NYT uses the word "scandal" to describe a time-honored tradition in Washington: the purging of those who are against you to make room for those who do. I am not defending the action last year, because I know enough about one of the nine to know she was a superb lawyer.... but to claim scandal is, I think, naive and shows the the NYT working an agenda beyond the story.

If Obama gets in and does not purge and replace like every other president before him, then that will be shocking. And, if it happens, refreshing.

I mean if ... I became Kidnapped or killed they wouldn't give two shits about it.

Agreed 100%.

"yes Iraq is payback for the republican interfeance in the vietnam war.... veitnam could have been won...if the republicans did not politcally grandstand that the war was lost ... republican politicas lost our wars in veitnam....just like democrat politics will lose our war in Iraq"

Dude. I'm not sure where to begin. I think I'll leave it alone.

Oh wait, it's just Eddie. My bad. Can I have a hit, Eddie?

This is a fun thread. Every one is LOL'ing in here.

Why doesn't he just leave the Presidency alone and spend the last couple of years of his life sucking at the public teat from Congress and let someone with half a brain do the job?

Geez, I don't really support Obama, but I think the guy seems to use more than half his brain. With supporters like you, he's fucked.

From the article: "For the first time in decades, the average number of vehicle miles driven by Americans is falling, down 1 percent for the year and more than 6 percent in May alone."

This is the same keen grasp on statistics that brought us the global warming sham, an interpretation that a single data point, in this case a blip downward, equals a crashing trend toward ox-carts. Bottom line is, Americans will foolishly drive until the gas runs out... regardless of the price.

You gotta hand it to the MSM, though. They are cranking on "the end is near" stories out the wazoo. We have 3 on here today alone (the AP "things spinning out of control" story is a jewel in the crown) Obama is a shoo-in if this keeps up.

.....the prosecution is a national movement.....its just starting........

Yes. Nancy Pelosi is all over it. Your befuddled optimism is, however, kind of endearing. I mean, in a "my-uncle-who-got-hit-on-the- head-with-a-shovel-when-he- was-younger-and-hasn't-been- quite-right-ever-since" kind of way.

I've read that many of the levees are owned by states, cities, even by private individuals. Wonder if this will continue.

Yeah FYI.. privately-owned dams are very common in the northeast, and during some severe flooding in NH back a year or two ago, it really came to light how variant the maintenance is on those damns. Some held as well or better than government-owned dams. Others collapsed almost immediately and did some pretty major property damage and bodily damage.

Damn, I had my money on Colbert.

They invented the term to cover their own racism by claiming anyone who would vote for Obama is suffering from 'White Guilt'....I guess I have to vote my skin color or the repubs say I'm suffering from 'White Guilt'........seems rather racist to me.

Actually, I think the term that applies is "simplistic".

Ha Ha Ha... Mass. School of Law is like the "Community College" of law schools. If you graduate from there you usually end up working in one of those walk-in law clinics in some strip-mall storefront.

$25 wills. All you can eat.

"Levees Hold Back Mississippi River"

The subject headline is like part of the Sesame Street game "One of these things is not like the other." ... How the hell did it get onto the front page of DR? Shouldn't it say "Levees Hold Back Mississippi River, FOR NOW" ?

What do you think of the term NiggerHater?

Personally, I think it should be hyphenated.

But let's not mention that that Congress is 49% Republican. Or that the Republicans in this Congress have used the filibuster to stymie legislation twice as often as the Dems in the last Congress.

Sanan -- That is the big cry-baby line of the year from the Dems in Congress, and it is wearing thin. "Oh, if we only had a true majority, we'd be able to do so many cool things." Whiners and incompetents. Tip O'Neil was able to do wonders with a weak majority and a strong Repub Prez in office because he knew how to truly NEGOTIATE, not just sit there like a piece of furniture and then either cave in or hold the line until it all falls apart. Bush is a lame duck and is out of touch and should be easy pickings even for two mooks like Pelosi and Reid. Their inability to corral their own members, to reach across the aisle, or to focus on any one important item for more than the length of a soundbite has proven them to be two llamas who should be replaced at first opportunity after the November election. I will say it again and again -- hire two high school kids from behind the Starbucks counter and let them do Pelosi's and Reid's jobs.. at least we'd save some money and get the same results.

This is what happens when you put a broad in charge. One more example of why it is good that Hillary got pushed aside by the good ole boys.

Holy smokes.... is this like chemo, where you put poison into your body to destroy a more lethal entity? Oh for the good old days when the enemy wore nice uniforms with braids on them...

It took more than a year to get the Nixon Impeachment going. It became a bi-partisan effort...Fucking Pelosi sent a message to Bush that he was untouchable.

Pelosi couldn't organize a company picnic, let alone a bi-partisan effort requiring any level of statesmanship. And Reid is as bad. As someone else said on here before, a high school student could do the job they have been doing for the past 2 years...

HALLIBURTON !!!!
