In all seriousness, I wish him well & pray he gets some much needed mental health counseling.

Feisty,

I seriously hope there won't be any more fires before the special election!!!

These are the things that make say Hummm...

Where wiil the fire be the next time? on 8/28/10 this came from the Houston Chronicle…

The early work into determining the cause of the 3-alarm blaze, whether or not it was an accident or arson, is underway...along with determining the plan for how the county will proceed with the upcoming elections in the wake of the loss of $30 million dollars worth of unverifiable electronic voting machines...

Accident or Arson? Paper or Plastic?

Fire destroys Wisconsin Democratic recall group's HQ right before recall election

Come on Bev - it's just a coindicence ya know... *wink wink*

Why would they burn down a Democratic office, when the Koch Brothers are busy mailing out ballots with the wrong return by dates on them...

These upstanding 'patriot's would NEVER resort to under-handed activites, would they? lol

Wonder what the lobby he's going to work for offered him to move.

The time has come ... every time I hear that phrase, instantly Lewis Carroll's delightful poem comes to mind - "The Walrus and the Carpenter." Wu's crazy antics certainly fit in with the general theme:

The sun was shining on the sea,
Shining with all his
might:
He did his very best to make
The billows smooth and bright--
And
this was odd, because it was
The middle of the night.

The moon was shining sulkily,
Because she thought the sun
Had got no
business to be there
After the day was done--
"It's very rude of him," she
said,
"To come and spoil the fun!"

The sea was wet as wet could be,
The sands were dry as dry.
You could
not see a cloud, because
No cloud was in the sky:
No birds were flying
overhead--
There were no birds to fly.

The Walrus and the Carpenter
Were walking close at hand;
They wept like
anything to see
Such quantities of sand:
"If this were only cleared
away,"
They said, "it would be grand!"

"If seven maids with seven mops
Swept it for half a year.
Do you
suppose," the Walrus said,
"That they could get it clear?"
"I doubt it,"
said the Carpenter,
And shed a bitter tear.

"O Oysters, come and walk with us!"
The Walrus did beseech.
"A pleasant
walk, a pleasant talk,
Along the briny beach:
We cannot do with more than
four,
To give a hand to each."

The eldest Oyster looked at him,
But never a word he said:
The eldest
Oyster winked his eye,
And shook his heavy head--
Meaning to say he did
not choose
To leave the oyster-bed.

But four young Oysters hurried up,
All eager for the treat:
Their coats
were brushed, their faces washed,
Their shoes were clean and neat--
And
this was odd, because, you know,
They hadn't any feet.

Four other Oysters followed them,
And yet another four;
And thick and
fast they came at last,
And more, and more, and more--
All hopping through
the frothy waves,
And scrambling to the shore.

The Walrus and the Carpenter
Walked on a mile or so,
And then they
rested on a rock
Conveniently low:
And all the little Oysters stood
And
waited in a row.

"The time has come," the Walrus said,
"To talk of many things:
Of
shoes--and ships--and sealing-wax--
Of cabbages--and kings--
And why the
sea is boiling hot--
And whether pigs have wings."

"But wait a bit," the Oysters cried,
"Before we have our chat;
For some
of us are out of breath,
And all of us are fat!"
"No hurry!" said the
Carpenter.
They thanked him much for that.

"A loaf of bread," the Walrus said,
"Is what we chiefly need:
Pepper
and vinegar besides
Are very good indeed--
Now if you're ready, Oysters
dear,
We can begin to feed."

"But not on us!" the Oysters cried,
Turning a little blue.
"After such
kindness, that would be
A dismal thing to do!"
"The night is fine," the
Walrus said.
"Do you admire the view?

"It was so kind of you to come!
And you are very nice!"
The Carpenter
said nothing but
"Cut us another slice:
I wish you were not quite so
deaf--
I've had to ask you twice!"

"It seems a shame," the Walrus said,
"To play them such a trick,
After
we've brought them out so far,
And made them trot so quick!"
The Carpenter
said nothing but
"The butter's spread too thick!"

"I weep for you," the Walrus said:
"I deeply sympathize."
With sobs and
tears he sorted out
Those of the largest size,
Holding his
pocket-handkerchief
Before his streaming eyes.

"O Oysters," said the Carpenter,
"You've had a pleasant run!
Shall we
be trotting home again?'
But answer came there none--
And this was
scarcely odd, because
They'd eaten every one.

And for those of you who think that America's elders do not deserve their Social Secuirty and Medicare, ponder the moral of the story Carroll told of the son confronting his father - the one that begins, "'You are old, Father William,' the young man said, balancing an eel on his nose."

The arrogant young fart goes on with his diatribe.

And then Dad kicks him down the stairs.

A fire purposely set to achieve a political agenda is terrorism by anyone's definition. If this is arson, then it should fall under the federal terrorism statutes and not be handled as a local arson case. Because people were in the building, if this is arson, then charges of attempted murder also apply.

It might be faulty wiring or accidental and it might be arson by someone with no political intent at all, but if it is found to be of suspicious origin, the Feds need to make the call whether it is a local/state matter or a national security threat. And, that would be the case regardless of which political party/group/etc... was the victim of a suspicious crime of this severity.

It's not really going to qualify as terrorism if the arsonist (not saying there is one, but if there is one) was trying to destroy property and wasn't using it as a scare tactic. If they simply intended to destroy property then it would be arson. And, manslaughter if they didn't intend to but indeed up killing someone. Murder if they wanted to kill people.

Either way, it certainly is suspicious. Let the experts get in there and find out how it started.

As for being on topic... I am a constituent of Wu's and as I've been saying for awhile now, I am glad to see him go even though I've voted for him. He's always been the "less-crappy" of the possible candidates. Now we can someone good in there.

Wu, who.

I'm just glad Joe Walsh has been shut down since he is a bigger douche-bag than any Dem has been. No doubt more of his ilk will be exposed between now and 2012...

Ditto for you, Feisty.

Bless your little 'cold' heart...

And all this time I didn't think you cared...

XOXO

Your #1 Moonbat Fan! ;o)

Let's play Democratic Demagoguery Bingo (hereinafter "DDB"):

Wu is a terrorist of love;

Wu is the Taliban of wankers;

Wu is a hostage taker of under aged girls.

Gosh, demagoging is fun. Fun in a silly, really got nothing to say kinda way, but hey we could make it into a drinking game. It being Thursday and all.

So what do yo all say? Every time a libbie busts out some demagoguery fun - this republican is a "terrorist" or that one is a "hostage taker" we all take a drink.

I am concerned, given that it is only 9:00 am, and having read First Comments, that we'll all be out of alcohol before the end of the next thread.

In any event, let the DDB begin.

Spanky-

Let's play Democratic Demagoguery Bingo (hereinafter "DDB"):

You mean like your capricious, narcissist, sexist, attacks? Just think this type of "terrorist" and "hostage taking" is all too much fun fun for you; even without taking a drink.

Wow! Attacks are on early here today.

I see Bob has some Spank-meister qualities only ruder.

Pesky little beasts. Do'ya think they have a "women + control = power" issue?

I know you don't feel the barbs they throw and they DO show themselves to be inconsequential to anyone with a brain.

Pathetic really.

I thought the girl was 18, old enough to say no thank you sir.

Jody: I see where you're going with forgiveness and all, but I definitely do not want Mr. Wu to prosper. He's a disgrace to the body he promised to serve and to the people who voted for him. Unfortunately we have lost many representatives and senators because of their lack of ethics. Do you think they care about their families????

devie, I'm not into that scene, but there was a story recently about a "Fetish Con" happing in town. Accompanying that yarn was a photo of someone in an animal costume, and they called the person a "furry." I guess there's a specialized vocabulary, and betcha Wu knows all the nuances.

I guess there's a specialized vocabulary, and betcha Wu knows all the nuances.

I think you could bet the ranch on that one. Talk about strange.

We should be so lucky!

that jap thinks her $hit don't stink

Deb is Japanese? (Next time you should be more politically correct.)

Rob-in-Ma: Just you wait Mr. Higgins, just you wait....until the repugnant Republicans and Tea Party Taliban get ahold of your 401(k), stock and bond portfolio, and scuttle any job you might want unless it's as a farm worker, picking produce! You don't know the meaning of "ruin" yet!

that's funny because the DEMS want to redistribute the wealth until we all have the same pay scale. what is the difference?

It's probable time to change the batteries in their calculators. Or maybe they aren't holding it right side up.

Missy,

You noticed that to? They sure are out to day. Facts aren't their strong suit.

I've been advised to keep a can of Raid handy to keep the pest at bay.

Hey Devie,

I was no math major BUT...

I don't think they use calculators. The numbers usually add up when technology is used correctly; not so much wth the number crunchers here.

They seem to have a problem backing anything up with anything other than links to sites that reflect only one solution...THEIRS! THose are usually owned by Rupert Murdoch, Glenn Beck, Carl Rove and Grover Norquist. Oh, and don't forget about DICK ARMY. Doncha Lovre the imagery in htat name?

I don't think they use calculators

The handy dandy abacus is their perferred method when it comes to numbers crunching!

100% GDP # came from Morning Joe on MSNBC

S & S,

Title is not near and long as this crap has been going on. My dead-beat preacher dad used to use the reprobate word a lot in his sermons. Much like then the title holders and the message pushers were all guilty of the crime about which they screech.

Gave up holding my breath during Ray-guns first term waiting for him to utter the word AIDS when too many people were dying. They sure jumped on that Legionnaires Disease though. That affected old white men mostly. All the while fags and drug dealers didn't even deserve a mention since God was punishing them.

So many sins over so much time.

What a RIOT! So Reagan (or anyone else) should have been concerned over AIDS? Something tied to behavior? I know I wasn't.

Hell, there's always been a cure for those ailments......don't behave in that way.
