To the Party of No and Teapublicans, "Where are the jobs?"

I haven't seen the Right even discuss creating jobs, only intrusive moral legislation which campaigns against Women, Teachers, Muslims, and the Poor.

Pathetic.

Umm...Was anyone actually expecting anything different? That's like the Democrats running on free automatic weapons and RPG's for every US citizen and then believing they would actually do it after being elected.

That would be awesome.

Naaaa, kinda like Obama running on the public option/a healthcare bill that would actually reduce costs.

Jobs? We got a[nother] war to win.

Bachman did not joke about the Mafia, the radio talk host did, get yer headlines right.

But, she squealed "Ooooh, and we are tough, tough people".

I take that as being in on the joke.

The same moonbats who defend Bill Maher's joke about Sarah Palin being a "twat"

Well, would you prefer Bill Maher said Sarah Palin "taint a twat" rather than say--"a lip smacking fool"?

You know I initially thought they were ignoring the Energy issues, and Obama's Drill, Brazil comments cause energy is a non-starter for Obama, and well, this is First Read.

But now I'm thinking it's just these folks have not clue. Dominico,Murray, Russert could tell a cash flow statement from a balance sheet so will do everything they can to avoid any economic issue as it relates to politics.

But Bachmann, Pailin, and O'donnell - they are frigging experts.

Classic.

Spanky-

Oh, but FR did; Spanky .
You're late we did discussed

bills Republicans considered to be budgetary issues...

Curtailing Abortion Rights

Defunding Planned Parenthood ( a cut off all $317 million in Title X funding)

Defunding NPR

Investigating American Muslims

Declaring English As America's Official Language

Reaffirming The "In God We Trust" Motto

These to the GOP/T-Bagger, drop in the budget were more important than job creation on the books.

BTW: Did you see the love note I left you in the
Welcome back, Mr. President thread?

Dude! You can get away with saying "twat" on here? Awesome!!!

Bev. it appears I missed the part in your list about enery.

And I also missed you note. Which thread and what comment number?

Spanky-

Bev. it appears I missed the part in your list about enery.

Haa Haa so did the GOP/T-baggers in the House

And I also missed you note. Which thread and what comment number?

Today's Welcome back, Mr. President thread.

post #1.66 - Thu Mar 24, 2011 3:51 PM EDT

I'll try to go back, but after the threads get over a few hundred comments my computer struggles to open and usually will not allow any further comments by me.

I bet it's intentional and directed only at me. The bastards!

May be true about the House, although I see evidence to the contrary on energy, but where is Sherriff Joe? Bombs be a' flying and he's MIA. Seems strange.

Maybe Dominico can go find him? Or are you working on another Bachmann/Palin/O'donnell story for later today?

Did Maher REALLY say twat? Didn't he mean twit? One letter difference, and a BIG difference in meaning. I can't believe he'd be that stupid. Maybe he really meant twat . . .

Maybe Sarah is too much of a twit to know what a twat is, so she didn't mind his comment.

Spanky- Allow me

repost:

Spanky-

Well I love you Bev.

I know. I give you credit for being able to keep your crooked love on a straight and narrow path. I know you can walk with my love.

I just want you to not fall in any gaping holes in the earth; and can buy/ hoard as many florescent light bulbs as you can for as long as you can .

Oh, and don't go boating if a storm looms. I'd hate that doing unless you wash up on the shores of Lake Michigan. I'd love that.

Dude, you just got paid buy you a new computer.

It is quite possible that Bill Maher did utter that word but it is more likely that the wrong word was attributed to him by those who do not like Bill. Let's see a source for the word used. Until proven otherwise, past experience tells me the poster was willfully lying about which word was used.

. . . and IMHO, use of that word is/should definitely be a code violation resulting in deletion and/or banning for a period as a particularly vile and degrading word. I can deal with most gutter language and have used it myself (even on this blog), but some words are just too degrading for me to use in almost all circumstances, but especially in an open forum like this. Bill can use it on his show (you do have to pay for it and you get what you pay for) and it may be appropriate in certain circumstances (very few). But here? Not so much.

The poster/s who used it owe an apology to everyone, and especially the ladies, for even repeating that word. I doubt it will happen as it originally came from one of the more immature regular posters on here. It seems there is another immature poster who is excited by it's use and should also apologize (not you gv-Kailua, but you could have avoided using it).

Thanks Bev.

But don't worry about me - although they have the occassional monssons in Havasu, I am a big chicken and head straight to Pirate Cove/the Turtle Bar, or Kokomos at the first hint of an issue.

Matthew -- I wouldn't expect an apology out of these juvenile delinquent bottom feeders!

For an encore, they'll start asking each other to pull their fingers!

Bottom feeders, who

I know it's poor form to cut and past your own stuff from another thread, but I had so much fun with this on the other Bachamnn thread, I thought I could stir the soup over here with it. Speaking of bad form- it has nothing to do with Bachmann: First commet was Spanky, follow up was that old fool, DBO....

"Being broke, at all levels of government sucks, don't it. And I presume all you libbies are pitching in all you can in extra taxes this year. The government really, really needs your money. Tomahawk missiles don't come cheap."

Actually, no, Spanks- we are pitcing in all we can by giving to the DNC this year. See, it's more cost-effective that way. We can elect people that will spend OUR money, AND YOURS too! Neat deal, eh?

Oh my Drive By, that's just pathetic.

You know like on a Feisty/Bev. level.

Congratulations?

Hey! Welcome back to the trenches, fellow traveler. I was worried you may have had to leave us for the whole afternoon. You know- get all tied up with those danged old books- trying to figgure out billable hours vs. blogging hours so you don't inadvertently cheat any of those many clients of yours.

Welcome back, dude.

But really, you don't like my 'multiplier' thinking on cash donations to a political party? But you are probably right. I should leave the heavy lifting to the degreed folks when it comes to stuff like this, and keep scraping the old barrel-bottom for jokes and stuff. OK- you win.

"Michelle Bachmann walks into a radio studio...."

DBO - just got back from lunch - Basketball at Y from 11:00-12:30, then a quick sandwich. All done and just finalized a fairly large settlement from Monday on a case that was four years old and has attorney's fees in excess of $400K, plus settled another this morning. So all in all - a mighty productive day.

But be warned the might Aztecs start at 4:15, so I'm not long for this place.

But man - glad I didn't miss the beating our man 3Wolves dropped on the last thread. FYI libbies stay clear of 3Wolves on military issues. He, umm, is literally sleeping on the high ground on those issues.

So DBO - It was kinda funny the first time, but a unilateral re-post? Smells a touch of desperation, no?

I held back earlier to let you have some glib fueled glory [I assume that's what you are after around here], but on the replay I say: Yeah, yeah, ha, ha. Citizens United.

I.e. scoreboard, my brother, scoreboard. Now scurry off and make that $5, $10, and $15 dollar donation. They are really going to need your help. :)

No fair double/repeat posting and running away DBO.

Come on now. You still got another 1/2 hour till quittin' time.

It went to 11.2. I gots fat fingers sometimes, and the keyboard refuses to compensate....

noted.

Bob. I agree, conservatives need a funny bone transplant.

and all while you've managed to stay above the fray,...

good on you, mate.

Question anything about me, Clara...

Question my sense of humor, and you're just not paying attention.

:-)

Any body check up on Anna M?

She doing any better today?

It's ok, though, we know she's tough.

And Pat - stick with your point. We need brain transplants, so we can be as smart as your parakeet, right?

oPat - what Maher said about Pain is a ok with you?

I thought you libbies we all about Women's liberation and crap? Or is it just as long as it's not one of "those" kind of women?

I bet you'd be pissed if Maher called you daughter a [blank]. And I know you'd totally kick his ass if you slighted your dead parakeet like that.

Right?

Naah, just uninsured if you don't have a job that provides it. I think she meant to say ". . . try to save the savings rate of the insurance industry's CEOs by getting rid of this funding." We should get the 'I misspoke' retraction tomorrow . . . but I'm not holding my breath waiting for it.

Makes you wonder who decided on that slot for her. Conservatives think their party is united but it doesn't look that way or sound that way. I keep wondering when the TP overthrows Boehner as Speaker of the House.

Hey, we give due recognition to bona-fide under-achievers when we see 'em.

Gonna need you definition of under-achiever here sport.

Are you referring to their net worth? The fact that they have been elected to pretty important positions?

Wait, is it their IQ?

What you got Drive By?

Don't know about you , but these folk seem kinda successful. At least to me, but what do I know?

Nope. Not net worth. Hell, even Michael Moore has the big simolleans, and I bet there are many that wouldn't consider him to be a great achievr.

Let me see howe they do in their campaigns (if the run) and I might be able to provide a more precise assesment. Now, if someone quits their job half wyay through, after promising their supportes their hard work on their behalf, well...... let me think on this one some more.

But- you DO raise a good quesiton; What DO you know?

You think Moore could get elected to Michigan dog catcher? Funny how his position on GM has changed, huh?

What the matter with net worth? seems like an objective standard, no? And as for their campaigns - they are all winners, right?

Bonus round - who has bigger knockers: Palin, Bachmann, or Moore? Iassume that was what you meant by smollians, right? :)

Maybe you have never quit a job. I have, and like Palin I was much better off for it.

And as for what I know - clearly not as much as you, but I do try so hard to keep up.

Thanks for playing today. I have no appearances or meeting tomorrow and my team plays tonight so - tomorrow? All right.

No- simoleans = bucks. Payola. Scratch. BUT from what I can tell, Mikey gots the hooters going on.

Spanky - not to interrupt the love fest; but weren't you just professing your outrage at the use of the word twat and now you want to compare knockers?

Are you this clueless or is it when you want to be funny there are no limits; but when an actual COMEDIAN IS funny - well, there should be some boundaries?

I saw Maher say it, on Real Time Friday night. In the context that he used it, while 'shocking' it was kind of funny.

Certainly no worse than anything TRUMP said during his roast on Comedy Central last week. And HE'S running for President.

Class and taste are both subjective. Net worth certainly doesn't determine it.

Yeah, cause doing actual reporting is hard!

Psst:energy seems ind important, no? Say Dominico, just what is the price of gas in your area? You think that may effect the economy?

And how come the government's inflation figures leave out energy and food? That's just silly, or is it because libbies don't eat or drive?

Can anyone answer Spanky's question?

How come the government's inflation figures leave out energy and food? I heard that today and couldn't believe it.

What's the over/under Dominico is all of this issue?

And come on, not like including energy [gas and heating oil] or food [have you been to the damn grocery store lately?] would have any effect, right.

Gonna be one long, expensive summer. Recovery summer, part 2: AL Gore's revenge!

Technically Iowa DID pick Huckabee last time,...

That makes him a retread, right?

$400K on one, and a 'settlement' on another? Who the hell are you guys, James Sololov?

(I wonder who winds up paying THOSE costs? Surely not us consumers? You, of all people surely woudln't want to see THAT kind of 'redistribution', right? Hard-earned profits of honest corporations going to lawyers, so they have to jack up their prices on their hard-working customers, and all?? An outright win I understand, but settlements usually smell a little bad, somehow. Kind of like 'legal extortion' or something. But hey, I'm not the one on here hollering about why my insurance premiums are so high, right? )

Jody- I lived in Iowa 26 years ago, them moved to Indiana. I used to heckle the 'Hoosiers' about how far ahead Iowa was as far as education went, and how much more 'live-and-let-live' the attitudes of Iowans was. Hell, the first house we bought out there, the forms still had us sign as "buyer" and 'wife'. Not 'spouse- 'wife'. I moved back not long ago, and found the place (Iowa) to be way behind many of the other states in education, and people more concerned about the personal lives of their neighbors, and a hell of a lot less 'live-and'let-live. And I had to ask myself; are the two phenomena related?

(oh, and by the way- Grassley was just entering his political position when I left. He's still there, now that I'm back)

DBO - is this to me?

If yes, stop speculating it's bad. Business litigation involving fraud has nothing to do with "redistribution." And when the other side, the former managing general partner [did you catch that big guy?] has to admit under oath and on the record that he is a perjurer, then settlement is a real good thing.

But you keep tilting at the boogeymen in you mind buddy, it's really funny.

And psst - you can't insure against fraud. Go ask you boss about his E and O policy. You might even learn a little something. :(

Drive by. I know. I left Iowa for California in 1973, returning in 95 to a much changed State, thanks to Governor Branstad's disastrous policies. I'm still wondering why voters picked him again when they were so happy to see him gone. Well, I know how, too many democrats and independents stayed home.

Clara. Yes, they picked Huckabee in 2008; but apparently Iowans like a good retread--we've got Branstad back after having him 16 years.

drive by - surely you don't want to forget harkin do you? Not much difference in length of tenure between the two in the US senate.

nope, they only care about them before they're born...

it will take more than that!
