AdLib : Right again, my friend! Night, Kes!

kesmarn : People will see that they “got nuthin’” AdLib. But they should have been able to figure that out already! Now, I really will say good night! Thanks for another great Fri. night!

AdLib : Night Kes, thanks for helping to make it another great discussion tonight!

AdLib : Kes – I think that’s going to have to happen, there is a silver lining to the GOP controlling the House, they will be responsible for what happens in the country too. The down side would be 2 years of nothing happening to help the nation and a witch hunt on Obama instead.

AdLib : HITO – Very good to know! Cheers!

kesmarn : And on that note, I’ll say good night, too! G’night all!

kesmarn : AdLib, I’ve had that same feeling about the RW. There’s a part of me that says: “OK. You have all the answers. You’re so sure of yourselves. Fix it!”

AdLib : Well, looks like a good time to bring tonight’s session to a close. Thanks Seek and Kes for everything! Sleep well and hopefully we’ll see you here next week. Goodnight!

HITO : Don’t forget, I type 140 wpm and am an excellent proofreader. Nuff said.

SeeknDestroy : Gonna take off as well…..Peace everyone!…:-)

AdLib : bito, sleep well, have a great weekend and thanks for all of your support at the site!

SeeknDestroy : Peace BITO

bitohistory : Good night all!!

AdLib : HITO – Thank you so much, my friend! Really appreciate all your support! Have a wonderful weekend!

HITO : GN, bito

kesmarn : Good night, bito! Good night, HITO! Sleep well!

bitohistory : peace

bitohistory : Sorry, kids. but I am going to leave you, my friends

HITO : HITO is sleepy. I’m going kids. Love you all. And JohnnyAdlib, I posted THE link tonight about 5 times, while trying to get a couple of the kids over here. I LOVE live commenting and I can’t thank you enough. Whatever you need, let me know A, I’m there for you. Hope everyone’s weather is cool enough to promote a comfortable sleep. Good night.

AdLib : Either way, whether the GOP has a bigger minority or a majority in COngress, it will change the dynamic about them whining about their having better ideas. 2012 won’t be the cakewalk 2010 is for them, they won’t be able to avoid their lack of progress then.

kesmarn : One of the Mercy folks tonight said that people crave the certainty and rigidity of the RW’s style. Simple, black and white “ideas.” Top down authority structure, etc., because of all the trauma and uncertainty of life in the 21st century.

AdLib : Kes –

AdLib : bito – Me too. They also don’t understand basic physics. The removal of support for one entity displaces that entity and the space it occupied must be filled by another entity. Nature abhors a vacuum which is why Glenn Beck shields his head from nature.

SeeknDestroy : LOL

kesmarn : AdLib: Graham is a cracker who should be buried, because we sure don’t need “S’more.”

SeeknDestroy : Glen Beck teaches them *history*

bitohistory : They also don’t know history, AdLib. Pisses me off!

kesmarn : With friends like them, who needs enemies?

AdLib : kes – Graham is a cracker and like a seed, should be buried.

AdLib : bito – I have talked with some of these purists, some who are at Huffy, there is no more reasoning one can do with them than Birthers. They are convinced that they know Obama has betrayed them and the Progressive movement and in their narrow minds, the only way to get what they want is to harass him endlessly. They are total ideologues.

bitohistory : Toaist bastards?

kesmarn : The Graham seed is in Mr. Graham, which would make him a cracker.

bitohistory : can we get huffy, FDL, Kos, Turks to give the man a break? this is as close a progressive as we have had since Francis Perkins in the WH!!

SeeknDestroy : i sure hope so

AdLib : Can you make Burlington Coats out of muslin?

AdLib : How about this, if the worst happens and the GOP does get control of the House…and they do dedicate the next two years to nothing other than trying to lynch Obama, as with Clinton, won’t the public’s sympathies swing back to Obama?

SeeknDestroy : LOL

SeeknDestroy : taech me, HITO

HITO : Muslim seeds in an old Burlington Coat Factory Outlet…Epic!

SeeknDestroy : tiny mosques

SeeknDestroy : LOL

AdLib : I planted Muslim seeds this spring and was just about to harvest my crop when I found they had built an Islamic Center there in the meantime. Terrorist bastards!

SeeknDestroy : and a few good breaks…I still support him

HITO : Yes, typing. I should teach you grasshopper.

kesmarn : Maybe, if he can just hang in there, the novelty of throwing rocks at him will wear off. Eventually public opinion will turn if he can hang tough long enough. But it’s going to take some amazing endurance.

SeeknDestroy : typing!

SeeknDestroy : they doo seem to set the tone with thge media….liberal , mt ass

AdLib : This is one reason I wanted to collaborate with folks on a letter urging Obama to make a fiery speech. He needs to be bold or the public will keep drifting away from him under all the manipulation and propaganda of the RW.

HITO : Adlib, uh oh, you’ve just destroyed half of fox news bullshit reports and Billy Graham’s bullshit “the father’s muslim seed is in him”.

SeeknDestroy : Storm Front

AdLib : bito – Or the Internets.

SeeknDestroy : no doubt,bito

AdLib : HITO – Actually, Obama’s dad wasn’t Muslim when Obama was born, he had left the faith.

bitohistory : seek, maybe but Truman didn’t have to put up with cable.

HITO : Adlib, you better get Michelle on the phone. I think O would be grateful to you for offering that logic.

SeeknDestroy : I’d vote for him again…no question

HITO : Seek: Obama deserves a break today. Wonder if he knew what he was signing up for. Because he is 1/2 black, because his father was muslim, because he is intelligent…we ll there are just three reasons alone that the repubs hate on him.

AdLib : HITO – The thing is, once you become president, your commitment is to a nation first. His abandoning the WH for no reason other than wanting to spend time with his family would be like the captain of a ship jumping into a lifeboat with his family so they could be safe and not caring if the ship hit an iceberg. I don’t think he would do that, no matter how much Michelle might want it, the first AA President can’t abandon a second term.

kesmarn : I think at times, they’re all goading him and making bets on when he’ll blow up. Just waiting. Then if he shows any temper at all they can claim victory and say that he lost control. What a spot to be in. Like a junior high teacher with an unruly class.

SeeknDestroy : yes?

bitohistory : Seek

SeeknDestroy : they are BRUTAL on him…the most bashed POTUS EVER

bitohistory : “Excuse me people, I haven’t learned to walk on water in 19 months”

HITO : Adlib, it’s not about quitting. It’s about loving your wife and kids more. I spotted his crazy love for them, and good for him. If I were Michelle…he’d step away and write a good book. He can’t do more than he has. SHIT look at his hair…grey…lo ok at his more than slim physique. Oy.

AdLib : Kes – Beacuse the Dems let them push that “forget about Bush” meme. There are times when I just want to kick the ass of the Dem Party. But Rahm will do for me.

SeeknDestroy : Limbaugh got in a pre-emptive strike and it’s been mostly downhill since, I hate to say

AdLib : Seek- Repubs are never responsible for what they say, that is the first rule of GOP Club.

kesmarn : b’ito, for some reason it always seems to stick when the Repubs say: “It’s time to stop blaming Bush.” It’s NEVER time to stop blaming Bush, because he’s the one who wrecked everything!

AdLib : bito – Fucking people forgot what happened a year and a half ago?!

SeeknDestroy : they blamed clinton ALL 8 YEARS on Fox news

kesmarn : People are so deluded, they think if they vote T-Party, they’re rejecting both of the mainstream parties in protest. What they don’t realize is they’re getting something even worse.

AdLib : HITO – I think it’s highly unlikely that Obama would refuse to run for re-election. He is not a quitter.

bitohistory : I heard an R say to day that “the dems can’t bring up Bush–he about forgotten” Fucking people forgot 8 fucking years?

HITO : So if O says NO, what’s the option…Alan Grayson, Kucinich? Where do we go? Love Tony Weiner, Congressman, Queens, NY, but is he ready to take on the DC alumni?

AdLib : A lot of Obama’s re-election will come down to campaign strategy. Go after the GOP hard and invoke Bush policies that destroyed the country without looking like he’s campaigning against Bush. And, tout all his accomplishments that too many take for granted.

SeeknDestroy : the GOP put us here in the first place…also forgotten

HITO : Amnesia is all the repubs have…and it’s been proven time and again to work.

kesmarn : b’ito i would not be surprised if it’s Palin, possibly on a 3rd party ticket.

AdLib : Romney is the most likely nominee. Palin? Unfavorables are so high on her. Huckabee? He has a WIllie Horton problem. Who else? I think it will likely be Romney.

SeeknDestroy : As much as I like him, he gets NO respect

kesmarn : I thought when the Repubs blocked the unemployment extension, they had really shot themselves in the foot, but the Dems passed it and already it’s forgotten. AMNESIA abounds.

bitohistory : It’s early, but who would run against him?

AdLib : How insane is that?

HITO : I really feel Obama’s decision to re-up will be family based. And I don’t get a happy vibe from the spouse. Michelle is done with the shit they’ve thrown at her, her children and her husband who works too hard.

SeeknDestroy : fingers a flyin’….My HITO

AdLib : Will people really hand the economy back to a Repub after everything we’ve been through? Especially when we’re still trying to recover from what Repub control did to us?

AdLib : Heh! Thanks!

SeeknDestroy : 2

HITO : LOL, Adlib. Damn you’re clever.

kesmarn : Wow. That’s a tough one, AdLib. I hate to say it but I’d guess maybe a one in three chance that he’s a one termer. In which case, we are in deep doo-doo.

AdLib : Having a ball, HITO?

AdLib : I can’t say I’m as confident as I used to be but I don’t know if even those suffering through the economy would put Bush economics right back in after only 4 years of trying to recover from them.

SeeknDestroy : ?

HITO : Testicle?

bitohistory : I don’t know AdLib, like i said before Rayguns poll numbers were worse and the UnEmply was 10.8%. Where is that news? Is it because he is a black commie pinko?

SeeknDestroy : it depends on the economy

AdLib : WHO THINKS OBAMA WILL NOT BE RE-ELECTED?

SeeknDestroy : Ahem…HITO is experiencing Tech. Difficulties…. please stand by

AdLib : Romney. Was thinking of my pomegranate martini.

AdLib : As much as I talk about how stupid many of the Beck and Tea party supporters are…how stupid are those purist Dems for sowing the seeds of a Palin or Pomney presidency? What mo-rons!

kesmarn : Sometimes Obama seems like the G. Cooper figure in “High Noon.” No support from the blood-thirsty but cowardly townspeople. No support from the idealistic, pacifist wing. And being shot at by the bad guys.

SeeknDestroy : LIBS!

SeeknDestroy : and some of the libs would whine too

AdLib : “Hey Glenn…ya see that? DOINK!”

AdLib : Seek – Indeed, Obama could find a cure for cancer and Purist Dems would still hold hands with the GOP to condemn him for not finding a cure for obesity.

SeeknDestroy : Hey Glen!….doink!

AdLib : Lise – Will keep you in the loop on all, thanks so much!!!

kesmarn : The doink for a Beck eye-poke is all yours, with pleasure.

bitohistory : Nighty, nite, Lise

HITO : Adieu, Lise.

kesmarn : Good night, Lise! Glad you were here.

SeeknDestroy : Peace, LL..

AdLib : Night Lise!!!

AdLib : Kes – As long as I have a “doink” for each time I do a Moe eye poke on a photo of Beck.

LiseLives : Night you all, love you a lot !

HITO : Adlib, when I tell people about doing this I say “get your fingers fired up and get ready to post on the fly”. It’s really invigorating and quite addictive.

LiseLives : LOL _ so you guys understand if I say my adieu, for now – Let me know about the Radio thing & also AdLib, let me know how / where to send a check -

AdLib : Lise – It is kind of a rush doing this live chat. I remember after the first few times we did it, folks were wired including me!

SeeknDestroy : hic

SeeknDestroy : O is the Ridney Dangerfield of POTUS’s.

HITO : Fuck. Missed saying good night to Patsy. Sorry, Patsy, if you look at this in the morning, I’m sending you strength and courage to face your mommy demons when you bring her in. You can do it!

kesmarn : Maybe we could have a range of sound effects: flushing sounds for Rush, Homer Simpson’s “doh” for Dubya, etc.

AdLib : ONTO A NEW TOPIC, OBAMA ANNOUNCED THE END OF COMBAT IN IRAQ, PULLING OUT THE LAST OF COMBAT TROOPS AS HE PROMISED IN THE CAMPAIGN. YET, THIS AND HE GETS NO ATTENTION IN THE PRESS AND MOST DEMS DON’T SEEM TO CARE. THE OTHER PLACE COULD HAVE TITLED THEIR NEGATIVE ARTICLE ABOUT IT, “SO WHAT, WE’RE STILL IN AFGHANISTAN.” WHY DOESN’T OBAMA GET CREDIT EVEN FROM DEMS FOR ALL HE ACCOMPLISHES? IS IT THE ECONOMY OR SOMETHING ELSE?

kesmarn : Lise, KQ had the same reaction. Said it made his heart rate go up too fast. Takes a little getting used to.

HITO : Sorry, back

LiseLives : Let’s do the Radio thing – I’m there -

LiseLives : Guys & girls – I love you all a LLLLOT – but this here’s just a bit hard for me to keep up with – I feel all hyper -

SeeknDestroy : from the Benny Hill soundtrack

kesmarn : Boiii-ooiii-ing! I like it!

SeeknDestroy : boing

SeeknDestroy : LOL

bitohistory : Will this sound work? «link»

LiseLives : ‘Night Patsy !

bitohistory : Night Patsy, do take care!!

LiseLives : My comment below is missing this – because what you said about everyone uncorking champagne was LOL – damn these comments split in 2 !AdLib – LMAO !!!

SeeknDestroy : Peace….POP

kesmarn : Safe travels!

AdLib : Night Patsy!!!

PatsyT : Nighty night AdLib, Seek, LiseLives, HITO, Kes, Bito…..

AdLib : Popcorn and champagne, sounds like a winning recipe for a radio show.

SeeknDestroy : snap .crackle…POP

kesmarn : Bye, Patsy! Best wishes to the new college girl. POP.

LiseLives : Could everyone who joins the radio show please keep a champagne bottle handy to cork and uncork when you speak?

SeeknDestroy : and we’re quite drunk

kesmarn : Old Man Daley. Many a hippie head was cracked by his efficient Chicago police force. Those were the days. POP.

AdLib : Bye Patsy, thanks for dropping by!!! Have a great weekend and a safe trip home!

SeeknDestroy : Peace, PT!

AdLib : Kes – Full at first, empty at the end of the hour. POP!

PatsyT : Hey guys I can’t stay… Just wanted to send a big hello from the midwest and Oh I love all the Obama stickers !!! Hope you all are well … Have a great week !!

SeeknDestroy : 10-4 good buddy….POP!

bitohistory : That was what was said about the Old man Daily!~ he may be a crook but the trash is picked up and the snow is plowed. He knew how to keep that city moving!

AdLib : We could call it, “Popping off at PlanetPOV”.

kesmarn : Empty or full? POP.

AdLib : Lise – Perfect! Could everyone who joins the radio show please keep a champagne bottle handy to cork and uncork when you speak?

kesmarn : Stay safe over there, Lise. POP.

LiseLives : OK, now really – BRB -

SeeknDestroy : the cork industry will love it!

kesmarn : Perfecto. POP.

AdLib : Kes – Here’s a little in advance, “What do you think Kes? POP!”

HITO : BRB, I’m on that fire Lise is responding to. sorry.

LiseLives : LOL – I’d miss the POPs too – I could open a bunch of bottles of champagne to simulate the sound

kesmarn : AdLib, that makes it all better. And worth it.

PatsyT : Mayor Daley has the city looking great ! This place is crawling with tourist from all over the states and world I never saw it look like this. There must be something to goverment!

SeeknDestroy : anything involving less typing works for me

AdLib : I can pop my mouth before each person speaks?

kesmarn : Radio call in sounds cool, but I’d miss the “pop-pops”.

AdLib : HITO and LISE – Yep, it would be at 8:00 pm PDT on a Friday Night and last an hour.

LiseLives : Friday nights right ?

LiseLives : AdLib – so here’s my vote : I’m in !

HITO : Adlib, lemme know if I can do anything to help. You’ve got my addy, it’s a good one, I’ll give you my phone numba, cucumba.

AdLib : Lise – Hurry back!

bitohistory : Oh, I miss Chi-town !!!Drink a beer at a corner tavern for me , patsy

LiseLives : BRB – got 2 emails – gotta support 2 of my ladies on Huff – a drama -

kesmarn : I think it’s against the law for American trains to run on time.

AdLib : Cool HITO! It will take me a little while to get it organized, not until next month (hopefully) but I’ll contact everyone here who’s interested with the details on joining me on the show and we will of course do our best to get the word out to all Planeteers when it’s scheduled.

HITO : Trains don’t run on time, silly. They’re not built for that. Jeesh.

kesmarn : And I’ll bet the trains run on time, too, Patsy!

PatsyT : Chicago has come a long way from the last time I was here. That Librul Gangster Govberment has taken over… The place looks amazing!

SeeknDestroy : Isn’t Drew Carey the King of Cleveland?

HITO : Phew. Thanks. Skype? You could generate a little Skype revs….I’m liking it. Wow. Hearing our voices would be epic. I remember when I heard Seek’s. Shit very cool. OK, I’m in.

AdLib : I think we’d need three or four at most as a discussion panel but we could take calls and people should be able to chat like this and ask questions or make statements too.

kesmarn : Cleveland is in a world of its own, b’ito!

LiseLives : It would be for all of us time-wise right ?

AdLib : Cool, Lise! Anyone else interested in joining in on a Planet radio show? Hey HITO – it’s all by phone so people anywhere, even out of the country could be on the show!

LiseLives : HITO – nowhhhhah !

HITO : Wait wait wait. You’re ditching my NY ass on Vox, for a call in for only westies? No No. Sobs uncontrollably.

LiseLives : AdLib – a test is a good idea -

SeeknDestroy : sounds cool AdLib..:-)

kesmarn : Patsy, is the daughter going to be a music major? (O/T I know, but just for a sec. I want to know)

bitohistory : Is Cleveland in the mid-west or dixie?

LiseLives : Adlib – let’s do it -

AdLib : Lise – Yep, though before committing to a PlanetPOV internet radio show as an ongoing thing, I’d like to give it a test on a Friday night to see how it goes and if people like it.

LiseLives : Shit the F up ….LOL – that too ))

kesmarn : Ouch!

SeeknDestroy : she has pointy shoes too!

HITO : Nobody would tell you to shit the F up, Lise. I’d kick their ass. Silly.

LiseLives : I’ll do it AdLib – in a heartbeat – Friday nights right ?

SeeknDestroy : and NV….for now

PatsyT : Sounds like you guys have been busy to night … yes midwest taking oldest daughter to school … Ohio tomorrow

AdLib : Lise – We do have several members in CA, that could be arranged. We have several in AZ too. Maybe we post a potential meetup article and see who’s interested?

HITO : PATSY!!!!!!!!!!! you ok? How’d the kid move go? Have enough kleenex?

kesmarn : Are you in Cleve -a- land, Patsy?

LiseLives : Adlib – I’d do a call in thing, but everybody would tell me to take 5 & just shut the F up !

HITO : “NO wait my son ate it” LMFAO Kes

SeeknDestroy : lol@ kes

bitohistory : patsy-midwest?

kesmarn : Hey, Patsy!

SeeknDestroy : PatsyT!

LiseLives : Hiya Patsy !!

kesmarn : Seek, I can see the difference alllllllready.

AdLib : Patsy!! Hi!!!

HITO : She lives for clicks, Adlib. But do not opine on her blogs, cause that is just not necessary for revenue…it’s all about her ego at that point, not a good thing when it comes to journalism. Journalism….LM FAO!

AdLib : It’s not like I don’t have enough on my plate but would people here be interested in having a Friday where instead of Vox Populi, we had a call-in, 1 hour radio show on the internet?

PatsyT : Hi from the Midwest

LiseLives : Shit, we got the food & the drink – now all we need is the US !

SeeknDestroy : I haven’t had a whole beer yet and my typing is MUCH bettttttttter already!…wink

LiseLives : The only bummer about this bloggy thing is it’s so hard for us to actually meet – I’d love to hang out with so many good peeps here & some at Huff – I’d love to org. a Cal. thing here -

kesmarn : I have some leftover chicken pasta salad. No, wait, my son ate it…

HITO : And Seek made a beautiful salsa dip thing…I’ll bring it and tostitos. Tell us where to go Lise. I’ll bring my bottle of vodka too.

AdLib : HITO – As I’ve always said, I think AH is an opportunist first, she is loyal to her own lusts for celebrity, wealth and power and whichever direction best delivers those, she will take.

LiseLives : I have da vodka & da ornage / grapefruit juices – nobody here in S. Cal ??

SeeknDestroy : MGD and I’m there

kesmarn : Lise, still have vodka and oranges? We on the way.

HITO : Lise, can I walk there? Damn I can’t drive at this hour.

AdLib : Seek – You’re hired!

kesmarn : HITO, I think you’re right.

SeeknDestroy : agreed

LiseLives : I am so lost in this – look, everybody, just come over to my place NOW !

AdLib : Seek – If we don’t hang together, we’ll hang alone.

SeeknDestroy : hire me!

HITO : I think AH is a repub, if not con. The end.

AdLib : Okay, I’ll be our Rupert. Anyone have a billion I could borrow? I promise to pay it back in 2013 with interest!

SeeknDestroy : all swinging together….lol

kesmarn : Arianna’s ultra-rich and claims to be a lib, but many of us are too busy pulling knives out of our backs to be able to talk business with her.

bitohistory : That thinky thing is hard to fight. Ok, people dummy up!! lol

HITO : Lise: Faux News = Fux News = Fucks News = Asshole News

AdLib : I see the Dem Party as like those pendulum things that have multiple pendulums. At times each one swings differently from the others but eventually, there’s a time when they’re all swinging together…then they eventually get out of sync and swing on their own again, to go through the same cycle over and over.

SeeknDestroy : we need an ultra rich lib to hire us for his or her tv station

HITO : Seek, yup.

LiseLives : Oh, never mind Fux news – I just got it – carry on

bitohistory : Where is our Rupert??

AdLib : bito – Like Air America had trouble, a Fox-like station wouldn’t work for us because we’re not robots and we’re not looking for any source or figure to tell us how to think.

LiseLives : Who – fucks – who would say something like that ???

HITO : DOn’t make me google Rasputin. I’m thinking Russian, nasty evil manuevering slimeball, but for some reason I’m hearing that was thrown against a Russian czar. Yeah, could work for JohnnyMac…but is so CHENEY!

SeeknDestroy : me too….oh, the tv station?

kesmarn : b’ito, we need a pair of Koch brothers to buy a media chain for us!

HITO : LOL..fucks. Like it.

AdLib : You have to admit though, all the MSM is hyping up this rally including MSNBC and CNN. It is an insidious plan, to do reprehensible things but duck responsibility.. .and get everyone to cover it because it is reprehensible.

bitohistory : We don’t need a third party we need a tv station like fux

kesmarn : Kinda like Rasputin, HITO. What was he? — drugged, shot, stabbed, drowned? and still came back for more?

HITO : Adlib: AND THE COLOR OF THEIR MONEY

SeeknDestroy : Beck wants to claim the civil rights…..LOLLO LOLOLOLL–falls over

LiseLives : My take is that MSNBC & CNN will hold back their outrage (as they should) that fucking Beck eh==held it on the 28th – because to vent the anger would be to sate Beck – that’s what he wants, is to create a “us VS them thing in the US -

AdLib : BECK: “I dream of a time when people are not judged on the color of their skin but the content of their cable show!”

HITO : KES: McCain seems to have the Cheney-esque indestructibilit y of the heartless. OMG Yes. I C&Pd this last Saturday after the fact…Adlib called it “maverickosity “. Love that.

kesmarn : FOX will, of course, make it look bigger and better than the MLK speech. Like the way Stewart referred to it as: “I have a scheme…”

AdLib : Beck will claim 1 million people came, mark my words.

LiseLives : ON MSM SPIN ON RALLY-

AdLib : I think the MSM will respect the rally as representing a “force” that needs to be dealt with. It’s really kind of sock, imagine if back in 1964, there was no Civil Rights Act because the MSM back then validated the racists claiming “states rights”?

SeeknDestroy : I hope people are allowed to tape the whole thing

bitohistory : That IS nasty , k’es!!JD or Mcgrumpy

HITO : Well I hope it reflects real head counts, not bullshit edited old video head counts. And for those that do attend, god help them. Their kids will laugh at them.

SeeknDestroy : He tore up Lazio(R) the other day…..he never got in 3 words straight w/ Tweety

kesmarn : Oops, sorry, b’ito… You could had a J.D. Hayworth… Maybe McCain does have his points…

AdLib : So, what does everyone think will be the MSM spin on the Beck rally?

bitohistory : Would you guys quit bad mouthing MY senator!!!

AdLib : HITO – I’ve noticed that much of the time, Tweety only lets the most RW people speak and interrupts moderates and liberals.

kesmarn : Seek, McCain seems to have the Cheney-esque indestructibilit y of the heartless.

AdLib : Seek – We’d be migrating to Canada and Erope right now as President Palin declared that God would fix the economy so she wouldn’t sign any legislation for her entire term.

SeeknDestroy : 1 beer, coming up!

SeeknDestroy : mMcCain

HITO : Matthews is a funny tweety bird. He never lets anyone speak, imo. Unless it’s that dreadful Pat Buchanan and then I’d imagine due to contract clauses.

SeeknDestroy : If less than 2 years did that to Obama, what would it have done to Planecrash McGee aka Mcacin?

kesmarn : AdLib

kesmarn : Media Matters is a gift to the country.

bitohistory : they just had some old katrina footage on. But lately he has been spewing some real sh*t

AdLib : Brownie is now a spokesman for BP brand seafood. Oylsters and Slippery Shrimp.

HITO : I’d vote for the grey haired Obama in a ny minute. But I’m not sure Michelle is up for another 4 years in that house. She’d probably like her husband back and I can’t blame her.

kesmarn : Selling ShamWows? Or in Brownie’s case SHAMEWows…?

AdLib : Someone from Media Matters was on Hardball today thought Matthews kept interrupting him and let the old white asshole who is part of a group supporting the Tea Baggers and Beck Rally (can’t remember who) talk freely about how the Beck rally is nonpartisan and there’s no racism associated with Repubs or baggers. Still, the Media Matters guy turned to the old asshole and busted him as a Birther and having called Obama a “token” President, elected because of his race. The old guy tried to pull back into his turtle shell, was very cool.

HITO : Don’t ask KES!

LiseLives : BRB

kesmarn : Oh God, b’ito, what did Brownie have to say?

HITO : KES…LOL “bovine social security” hee hee

SeeknDestroy : used car salesman?@ Bito

bitohistory : Speaking of getting sick– Hecka job brownie was just on the tv.

kesmarn : Granny should know that it’s really Alan Simpson who wants to kill her by taking about her bovine Social Security.

kesmarn : Yes, AdLib, we should re-iterate that not voting at all is a win for them. It’s almost as bad as actually casting a vote for Palin and Co.

AdLib : Seek – On MSNBC today, someone said that it would use up each show on the air to correct the lies Beck spews daily. This is part of the RW approach to disinformation, spray as much around as possible, make it impossible to refute it all and see what sticks. Thats’ exactly what my Granny told me after she learned that HCR would kill her.

SeeknDestroy : Sorry, kes..

SeeknDestroy : Damn, I should start drinking, maybe I’d type better

SeeknDestroy : thanks Kesmanrn.

kesmarn : Seek, Media Matters does a great job of calling out Beck and Limbaugh on their numerous factual errors!

SeeknDestroy : He’s a Marxist! C’mon now….

AdLib : Kes – I think every Dem who even hesitates about voting to re-elect Obama should be told that they are then supporting a President Palin or President Romney in 2012, not voting for Obama is giving Palin or Romney one less vote they need to win so it is helping elect them.

LiseLives : AdLib – LOL – ya – he’s a goddamned socialist I tellz ya

kesmarn : Lise, I’m going to vote for him again, too.

SeeknDestroy : Does anyone check Beck’s facts daily? He’s so full of shit…

LiseLives : I can’t vote in the US – but I WOULD def. vote for him – still -

HITO : Adlib, I hope you’re correct. But you’ve always had enough optimism that carries me through. Thank God.

AdLib : Lise – It’s all just part of Obama’s plan to turn us into Russia just when we’re not looking. At least, that’s what Beck’s chalkboard told me.

LiseLives : HITO – it’s the best – V&O – the best ! goes down ….like buttah

LiseLives : Problem is : Obama stil thinks it pays to be civilized – nope ! not with the dregs that is the Right -

HITO : OK, now I want an orange vodka. BRB

kesmarn : You guys don’t have to answer, but….anyone here considering NOT voting for him again?

AdLib : HITO – That’s the purist line though, Obama isn’t showing how liberal and Dem and anti-GOP he is enough. Even though that’s BS, if a portion of the Dem Party grass roots pressed for more Progressive candidates, I think the rest of the party would actually be energized by that and support them.

LiseLives : HITO – I know – agree -

HITO : Man, Obama better shock and awe us soon or his ass is grass.

kesmarn : There are a million ways to be a decent person, AdLib, but the options for being a total slimeball are limited.

SeeknDestroy : step on their necks…they’d do it to us

LiseLives : I think he WANTS to be a lot more progressive, but feels he has to do it in steps – IMO

HITO : Remember hypnotoad…alwa ys posted “DO NOT FEED THE TROLLS” LOL..he was alright.

AdLib : kes – So true, the simplistic nature of greed, lying and conformity makes it much easier for the GOP to have far more proportional power than Dems who think for themselves.

LiseLives : I think O is still in his “don’t shock & awe” them …..yet -

kesmarn : Even though we were imbibing at the Mercy meeting, we were still “focused” enough to be talking about the same thing! The crazy RW and their hate/fear-monger ing

SeeknDestroy : hypnotoad

HITO : Is it that O isn’t enough progressive or that he doesn’t talk dem talk. He talks centrist, almost like he needs to show everyone how fair he is. And that, IMO, is bullshit.

LiseLives : LOL – to …..every single person here !

SeeknDestroy : toad licking….LOL

SeeknDestroy : too late…..

AdLib : I am licking a South American toad right now and never realized how GREEEEN this site is…whoa!!!

SeeknDestroy : LOL

HITO : No glue babe. Not now or ever. Brain cells are important at our age.

LiseLives : Seek : Looks like I picked the wrong night to quit sniffing glue ;P

LiseLives : Yes, caution : alcohol corrpution may happen here tonight

AdLib : HITO – I don’t think so, it seems to me that what most Dems who complain are upset at Obama over is that he isn’t Progressive enough.

SeeknDestroy : Model glue anyone?…..wink ..

LiseLives : Bito – Yay welcome to the “rare drinkers club” – I’m a total lightweight with booze – 1/2 way ther already

kesmarn : b’ito, I’ve led you down the proverbial primrose path…

SeeknDestroy : Calling Nelson a Dem is like calling me a G. Beck fan.

kesmarn : One advantage of the RW’s worship of power, power-structures , authority and $$ is that there’s virtually no room for disagreement on anything. Instant and eternal solidarity.

HITO : Adlib: taking back the dem party via grassroots…won ‘t that alienate the older dems. I called a famous local dem attorney to try to get help for LTTL…he HATES Obama now, is so disappointed with what has happened. Boy did I get an earful.

AdLib : Seek – “being organized”

LiseLives : AdLib – I agre – no 3rd Party but change Dems toward a lot more Prog. ideology !

bitohistory : k’s made me start drinking :lol;

AdLib : bito – The question is, is it better to have bills watered down by having Blue Dogs in the party or have a potentially smaller majority but no Blue Dogs? I think the latter may be better. And, even in AZ, the population will continue to shift and it will eventually turn more moderate.

kesmarn : I’m glad you’re here, Lise! We can sort through our wine inspired thoughts together…

SeeknDestroy : cough cough ACORN cough cough

HITO : Lise, Kes is one of the funniest on here. Even with wine, usually because of wine. And yes, I’m drinking, and will continue cause it’s Friday night and that’s the night!

SeeknDestroy : Isn’t being organized against party rules?:-)

LiseLives : YAY : don’t expect too much X2 !

bitohistory : If you get rid of blue dogs you get baggers!!! believe me i lie in such a district!

AdLib : HITO – What I mean is, instead of trying to start a third party, Progressives should band together and support the candidates they want on the Dem ticket, not Blue Dogs or DLC-pushed candidates. Copy the igea of a grass roots takeback of the Dem party.

kesmarn : I dunno white wine. Good. Don’t expect too much from me tonight!

LiseLives : Hi, kes !! Long time no see & don’t know you all that well, & well, now that I’ve had 1/2 a vodka orange, I’m not sure you’ll want to know ….anyone else drinking a tad ?:D

SeeknDestroy : LOL

HITO : Italian wine?

kesmarn : They had wine that I drank. Wine good.

AdLib : kes – You mean, YOU had wine.

SeeknDestroy : I say we start by getting rid of the Blue Dogs….Lincoln. ..Nelson….

HITO : Johnny Adlib…serious shit? Go the baggers route? I don’t think I’ve drank enough for that concept.

kesmarn : Hey, Seek and b’ito, and AdLib and Lise! Just got back from Mercy meeting. They had wine…….

AdLib : Hey Kes!!!

HITO : How are you Kes…still on vacay?

bitohistory : k’es!!!

AdLib : bito – I think the phony Tea Party movement has charted the proper course that Progressives should follow. Come together to support true Progressives and use the growth and success of that to take the Dem party back.

SeeknDestroy : Hey Kesmarn!

kesmarn : HITO!!!!!!

HITO : KES!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!

LiseLives : Seek – I agree – always loved Dean, but he was wayyyy wrong on this one !

HITO : Bito, party starting tends to divide, conquer and then leave much in the dust.

kesmarn : Good evenin’ all! I’ll just lurk a bit and try to catch up, if that’s okay…

SeeknDestroy : Agreed. There are better ways to get our voices heard.

HITO : The mighty Progressive movement is an entity unto itself, without a care about us libs.

bitohistory : Which is easier/ start a third party or reform the dems?

SeeknDestroy : I was watching some show on MSNBC and the rep. from Agenda Project basically threw our whole party under the bus and said fire everyone.

HITO : United we stand.

AdLib : Seek – I think it is very counterproductiv e for any Progressive-type group to attack others. We only have strength when we’re together, as we were in electing Obama. This Purist BS and Purity Tests should be just for Republicans, not us.

SeeknDestroy : You beat me to it, AdLib. I have the link. Cool.

AdLib : Just Googled it: “The Agenda Project’s goal is to build a powerful, intelligent, well-connected political movement capable of identifying and advancing rational, effective ideas in the public debate and in so doing ensure our country’s enduring success. Between out-dated political parties, self-interested multi-national corporations, and ineffectual elected officials, good values and common sense have lost their power in the public debate. Our goal is to return normal Americans to the center of the policy debate by cultivating an understanding of public policy, facilitating common action, and connecting the best ideas and the strongest leaders with engaged citizens, elected officials, the media, political insiders, and experts through a variety of in-person and on-line platforms. ” Here’s a link to their site: «link»

SeeknDestroy : This so- called Progressive group threw H. Dean and H. Reid under the bus regarding the so called 9/11 mosque. Very very left wing.

HITO : Wow, I didn’t know Jeannie Berlin was her daughter…aweso me.

AdLib : bito – I took a big interest in the McCarthy period and all that went on, it was one of the most (pre-Bush) fascist periods in America.

bitohistory : Seek ? tell us more.

SeeknDestroy : What do you folks think of this *progressive group* Agenda Project?

AdLib : HITO – Yes, I remember and whatever works best for you!

bitohistory : The whole blacklisting,FBI ,Mcarthy thing was pretty scary. Ask my dad

HITO : Mike Nichols…eyebro wless Mike Nichols married to Diane Sawyer?

AdLib : Watch this clip and wait for Elaine May, she’s such an Angle-type bonehead: «link»

HITO : But I sent you a personal check last time. I don’t do paypal…oh I see, I can charge it. Aren’t you high tech?

AdLib : Elaine May and Mike Nichols…though they’re divorced now but still good friends, I understand.

AdLib : HITO – You can use the “Donate” link in the right sidebar, it usually works!

SeeknDestroy : I’m ashamed that she’s from NV

HITO : I love Elaine May. Married to….Joe….shi t, remind me…was it Bolognio?

AdLib : Angle actually reminds me of the wacky character Elaine May played in a Woody Allen movie, Small Time Crooks.

HITO : OT, Adlib, send me that addy too. It’s been a couple of months and you better get it while you can, cause X’s monthlies are pretty cheap. This time next year, I’ll be asking you for a minimum wage job.

LiseLives : I’ll BB in 5 minutes, leave some extra space for something more intersting than moi – so bito, come back !!

SeeknDestroy : Snert….wha?

LiseLives : NO you owe me SOME coke – J/K !

SeeknDestroy : I owe Lise a coke

AdLib : Lise – Very kind of you! DOn’t understand why it wouldn’t accept your CC but I’ll email you the mailing address!

bitohistory : I’m reading!

SeeknDestroy : Model glue sniffer

SeeknDestroy : Huffy puffy

LiseLives : Yes, sniffin paint or glue – fdefinitely LOL

AdLib : I figure Angle as a paint huffer, myself.

LiseLives : 2) Ad Lib – I tried donating 2 times & it wouldn’t accept my CC’s – will donate – maybe by check ?

AdLib : Seek – In fact, Fox and RWs all were comfortable about the cultural center then. Now that they can create another boogy man out of it, they jump on that bandwagon.

LiseLives : 1) where’s bito – I’ll be a bit quieter to leave some space

LiseLives : Meth, except she’s not that hip LOLLL !

AdLib : bito – Yes, I saw that about Angle agreeing that enemies of America are in Congress. And Bachman and Issa want to spend the next two years politically trying to lynch Obama. That’s what these idiot voters out there think will make their lives better? Putting in Repubs so Congress can do nothing to help anyone during this financial emergency? Sheesh!

HITO : Lise, I wuz thinking Meth. Maybe I’m wrong.

LiseLives : Daily.

HITO : But these morons don’t want to spend the time to get educated. No reading appropriate newspapers, no accountable information uplinks…fuck them. Live in ignorance and good luck with that…oh boy, I’m getting pissed.

LiseLives : As for Angle – she strikes me as someone who takes tranquilizers dauly – has that oh so fragile edge to her every time she speaks – I hate fragility !

SeeknDestroy : No one cared about this*Mosque* 2 months ago….mid term election bullshit

LiseLives : Exactly !!

AdLib : Lise – It is sad that there are so many literally stupid people out there. Critical thinking is nowhere to be find in such people’s minds, they instead latch onto an authority figure and accept whatever comes out of their mouths.

LiseLives : AdLib : They WANT to be manipulated ! They HAVE NO life ! & need an angry messiah to echo their own useless lives’ misery !

HITO : An ignorant child with ignorant parents is a shoe in for the repubs. Shit that’s horrible, but possibly true.

SeeknDestroy : Angle is a piece of work.She lies about everything she has ever said….now Reid is fighting dirty…

AdLib : It is astounding that poor, unemployed white people are so easily manipulated to oppose those who represent their own interests. No wonder the Repubs have always worked at cutting education.

HITO : Lise, that’s where I went. Darjeeling and Bailey’s…nice .

bitohistory : Angle is getting ready to re-open the McCarthy hearings on Un-merkins in congress.

HITO : As Jon Stewart said “I have a scheme” That’s all Beck has

LiseLives : AdLib – it’s most extraordinarily upsetting that so many would join the likes of Beck – I was happier in my illusion that “goodness” & intelligence was the overriding factor in the US – it’s pathetic & quite upsetting, which is why ,,,,,I’m drinking now

AdLib : AS YOU ALL MAY HAVE GUESSED, OUR FIRST TOPIC IS THE ACCEPTABLE RACISM-TONED MARCH ON DC TOMORROW BY GLENN BECK WITH SUPPORTING BIGOT, SARAH PALIN. TURNOUT IS ANTICIPATED TO BE OVER 100,000…THAT’ S A LOT OF WHITE SHEETS TO BUY. HOW BAD HAVE THINGS GOTTEN IN THIS COUNTRY WHEN RACISM, TAKING A PISS ON MLK’S “I HAVE A DREAM SPEECH” CAN BE SO OPENLY ACCEPTED IN SOCIETY? HOW FAR WILL THIS NEW WHITE POWER MOVEMENT GO AND IS MORE AND GREATER VIOLENCE INEVITABLE?

SeeknDestroy : HITO will be back in a second…..:-)

LiseLives : & don’t thoise fucking idiots know that Obama’s trying to help all of them too, the trailer trash society,as well as us smarter folks ? LOL

bitohistory : They trust corps (who are unknown) to people they can actually vote against–or use their 2nd rights on. lol

LiseLives : Seek : Exactly !!

SeeknDestroy : Tea Bagger: Obama’s a socialist!?-?whe re’s my SS check and my Medicare card?

LiseLives : POP – makes me want to open a bottle o’ champagne

LiseLives : HITO : they really have the absolute dregs of citizenry – all for themselves

AdLib : “KEEP YOR GOVERNMINT HANDS OFF ARE SOSHALL SECURITEA!

LiseLives : This is a TRIP to keep up with LOL !

SeeknDestroy : Me?wink.

HITO : Lise: true that. The GOP is freaking out that they have so many ignorants in their base. They never counted on so many….LOL

AdLib : Bito – So true and sad. Can you imagine Obama having a rally and having to remind people not to bring Nazi or racist signs?

SeeknDestroy : No badly spelled racist signs, please!

LiseLives : Bito – I really think they were more afraid of the whole country laughing at all the mis-spelled signs LOL

AdLib : Lise – Right with you, my life is much happier without unnecessary dramas.

HITO : Babe, you have an avatar tonight. Very nice and noticeable.

SeeknDestroy : Really?

SeeknDestroy : Drama where? Who?

bitohistory : Amazing that one would have to warn against bringing raciest signs to a rally!

LiseLives : AdLib – I know you guys here understand all that – I def. want to stay neutral about any old stories I missed out on at Huff – drama’s no fun at all -

SeeknDestroy : Beck/Palin aka Liars R Us.

HITO : Schreech! LOL

AdLib : HITO – Many years ago, when there were just a few tubes in the Internets, I started at HP by reading for a while to get the sense of who was there and how people conversed so anyone who does that here is totally cool.

HITO : Bito: Sarah gets it in cash in a throw away suitcase I hear. She reports nothing. Awww, if only she did that…IRS would love to seize her assets. A girl can dream.

SeeknDestroy : Doing the best I can.

AdLib : Lise – Totally cool! We really want The Planet to be a place for everyone of good will. We have enough adversaries on the Beck/Palin side of the equation, no need for us to be divided against ourselves.

HITO : Adlib, I can’t wait to see your topics for tonight…can you say “MOSQUE”?

bitohistory : HITO, doesS’arah get her 100 grand off the top for her screech?

SeeknDestroy : Hey LiseLives!Or CC!!smile!

LiseLives : Seek, you take good care of our girl here – take good care of eachother – this is special what you got – it’s rare, ya know ….

HITO : She could be reading us. Shy? Hell no. But apprehensive..sh wure (in my best NY accent).

LiseLives : Hey Seeeeeekkkk !

AdLib : HITO – Always happy to have new folks join us, especially those who show they stand on principle. Hope BadBadKitty makes it.

SeeknDestroy : Good to see you folks.

HITO : Lise. Hear you loud and clear. No worries. We all walk our own roads and it is good.

SeeknDestroy : I’m in NY state with my HITO, AdLib.

LiseLives : HITO – just FYI – I know you prob. already klnow this, but there are so many people I love who are either on one side ot the other about the Lorne / Funky / Kitty thing that I had to decide to stay even about it all – I missed so much of it, just don’t want to voice one way or abother about it – ya get me ?

AdLib : Hey Seek!!! How are you! Heard you were out of town.

HITO : Bito: Only place Beck fits is in a very small cell. He’s calling this a charity event, but everything is subject to paying speaker’s fees. THe charity portion will be lucky if they get 10K. HIS fee will escalate with each entry fee undoubtedly.

AdLib : BeckCon fits in like the square peg he is…and I could suggest what round hole he would fit best into.

SeeknDestroy : Hey kids!:-)

HITO : Adlib, FYI, there’s one over in hell that I hope is reading or shows tonight…BadBad Kitty. She’s OK. Stood up for Lorne when so many threw him under the Funky bus. Sorry, too much HP talk. But she rocks. Just a head’s up.

AdLib : Lise – Sounds fun!

bitohistory : I want to say about his weekend: 19 amendment, MLK speech, Katrina. Where does becky fit in there?

AdLib : If I were in the vicinity, I would go just to interview people there and post here. Would be interesting if not newsbreaking.

LiseLives : It’s going to be pet clothing – sounds kindof lame, but I have all sorts of fabric inventory left over from when my label sold at Nordstrom – so I’ll be using it for this – just a little fun biz, no biggie

AdLib : Lise – Can you mention what kind of website?

HITO : Adlib: LOL! If I took that 4 hour trip south…well it wouldn’t be pretty. They wouldn’t like me mad…and I would definitely show those colors.

LiseLives : Bito & Hito –

LiseLives : I’ll be bleching Beck’s rally – the piece of shit !

AdLib : Bito!!! How are ya, pal?

AdLib : While we’re waiting…what’ s everyone up to this weekend? Other than going to Beckapalooza on the steps of the Lincoln Memorial, that is.

bitohistory : Present!

LiseLives : It’s been almost suffolcatingly hot – AdLib – thx – it’s going to have a website soon – couple of weeks – just a little sideline biz for my bread & butter

AdLib : Lise – Best of luck on your new biz!

HITO : And good evening to bito, and once again to Lise!

AdLib : HITO –

HITO : HI … Johnny Adlibseed™

AdLib : I’m in L.A., know what you’re talking about with the heat. My daughter’s been out of camp for the last few weeks so my days are down to 20% work and 80% water balloons and SLip N Slides.

LiseLives : You ??

LiseLives : AdLib – Been p/t working on new biz – & p/t lazying indoors while it’s so damned hot here in California -

AdLib : How are you HITO?

AdLib : BITO?

LiseLives : Wait – I’l give my BBlater at Huff – BRB

AdLib : I’m doing great. And you? Been up to any fun stuff this summer?

LiseLives : Hiya AdLib – how are you my dear, revered friend ??

AdLib : The popcorn’s on me!

LiseLives : POP – !

HITO : Sweet! You’re here!

AdLib : LISE! How are you?

LiseLives : HELLO – O – O – !!

AdLib : See you shortly HITO!

HITO : Be here in a sec, kids.

AdLib : Vox Populi begins at 7:00 pm PDT tonight, hope to see you then!

AdLib : Sorry Khirad, I wrote a comment last night, there was a hiccup at the beginning of VP that showed a blank screen until the window was refreshed. A quirk from updating the software, it’s fixed now. Sorry!

bitohistory : I don’t know Khirad we were here and going strong. Good time was had by all.

Khirad : I’m still surprised that it ever got going. I was here at 9 pacific and nobody else was…

bitohistory : Gotta love it when VoxPop ends with the line “Silly Rabbit”

AdLib : Silly rabbit!

PatsyT : O put a rabbit in there

PatsyT : Silly kids trick are for kids

AdLib : And a hummina-hummina to you too!

kesmarn : Back atcha, Patsy and AdLib! shjkfya vfne afbab s fbhah!

AdLib : Night Patsy!!! Sleep well!

AdLib : Kes, that gibberish was just as advertised. Thanks, it was VerGooman!

PatsyT : Hugs to all !

kesmarn : Likewise, b’ito. I think I too will call it a day. I promised gibberish and I have delivered in full, I believe. Good night all, and thanks for your good wishes in so many areas of my “interesting” life!

AdLib : Guess we should wrap Vox for the night. Thanks Bito, Patsy and Kesmarn and everyone else who’s already headed out for a fun and invigorating evening! Sleep well and have a great weekend!

AdLib : Night Bito, great to have you here tonight! Have a wonderful weekend!

PatsyT : Love you Bito !!

bitohistory : peace

AdLib : Mo goo gai zon

bitohistory : wellpers! it is that time to be late for me. nighty-nite all. Keep in touch with yourselves.

kesmarn : Latter Day BandWidth Sellers

PatsyT : Gogonazola

AdLib : VerMorGoo

kesmarn : Goomonzon.

PatsyT : Church of the googly zon

AdLib : Gorgonzo

kesmarn : VergleMor?

PatsyT : Gooizon

kesmarn : Along with “no” to a 12 pack.

AdLib : VerMoogle.

AdLib : “Nuclear” is something Bush can’t say too.

kesmarn : The Mormons, Google and Verizon are in a vast conspiracy…

AdLib : But the Mormon’s have your relatives social security numbers, they’ll track you down, you special interest, you.

bitohistory : did anyone read that there were “only”26 Americans killed abroad by terrorists ? Something Bush could never say.

kesmarn : Fortunately Google was not crawling the site when I made those most unprofessional comments…

PatsyT : Will Sarah have any more ?

kesmarn : I would be deeeeelighted to be Sarah’s nurse. Heh-heh-heh… “Why yes, Mrs. Palin…this is what the doctor ordered…”

AdLib : bito – you’re landlocked by a sea of red? Well, you know what color you need to turn red to orange.

AdLib : Kes – Could I convince you to tell those same jokes to Sarah Palin?

bitohistory : I’m afraid to leave Tucson, the little blue island.

kesmarn : It was probably the fact that my jokes were so BAD, they took the only way out… Tragic, really.

AdLib : Kes – You have made a patient laugh so hard they died? Ooh, tell me the joke, I’ve got a defibrillator on my desk.

kesmarn : b’ito’s right. The drugs do make everything funnier.

PatsyT : Kes, What a way to go !

AdLib : bito – AZ has some serious Repub infestation, horrible candidates winning in every direction. In ten nor twenty years, when the white people are in the minority, we’ll see how much they like majority rule.

kesmarn : I’ve had many a complaint lodged against me for terminal laughination.

bitohistory : But they have drugs k’es. that’s why we luv’em

PatsyT : Ha those evil nurses making those patients laugh to death

kesmarn : Nurses! They’re the worst! Whiny things! And they have a tendency to verbally abuse their patients, I’m told!

AdLib : Michael Moore claims in Capitalism, A Love Story that the middle class was born from the Sit Down Strike in MI that begat strong unions. Makes sense to me. So, all these middle class Repubs attacking unions wouldn’t be middle class if not for them. Ingrates.

PatsyT : Hayworth is the epitome of botox

PatsyT : Teachers and Nurses ! Ha !

bitohistory : The thing is , he does the same flip-flop every election cycle. this time it is really bad because of teabagger Hayworth running against him. But he will still get fucking elected.

kesmarn : Them and those trouble-making, rabble-rousing teachers!

AdLib : Wanting jobs! They’re spoiled!

PatsyT : Unions built the middle class

AdLib : Damn special interests! Working people!

kesmarn : I’ll bet that was what they were referring to, AdLib. Thanks for doing instant research. Go Union!

AdLib : I found this article in the LA TIMES: “Several thousand union members rallied Friday on the south lawn at Los Angeles City Hall, calling on state and federal leaders to do more to address the state’s 12.3% unemployment rate. But what was billed as a jobs rally was laced with heavy criticism for the Republicans running for governor and senator, Meg Whitman and Carly Fiorina. During an event organized by the Los Angeles County Federation of Labor, union leaders showered U.S. Democratic Sen. Barbara Boxer with praise while casting Fiorina and Whitman as a “job destruction duo.”"

kesmarn : It was a crawl on TV, but I can’t remember which cable channel…

PatsyT : Bito I love old hippies ?-? some are my family!

AdLib : Kes – No, what did you hear about that?

bitohistory : I don’t know were that came from Patsy. Old hippie thing.

AdLib : I wonder if he will claim to be a Maverick again and explain that only a true Maverick would deny his Maverickosity during a campaign where being a Maverick would be a bad thing.

kesmarn : O/T But did anyone hear anything about a large rally in Los Angeles for jobs?

bitohistory : They were in Tucson, she drew a bigger crowd

kesmarn : And doing whatever it takes to get there.

AdLib : And think how weakened McCain will be as a Senator, he stands for nothing now but getting re-elected.

kesmarn : “Those that can, do. Those that can’t, teach.” Only true in McC’s case.

AdLib : I do get some satisfaction from McCain needing Palin to stump for him, what a perfect comeuppance, humiliated like that.

bitohistory : And then they made him an instructor!

PatsyT : Bito is that a doors song?

bitohistory : Nite HITO stay strange but not a stranger.

kesmarn : I wonder if he’s destroyed more govt equipment than the amount of salary he’s “earned” through the years…

AdLib : Night HITO!!!

PatsyT : Bito not everyone can go and wreck fighter planes

kesmarn : My pleasure, HITO.

bitohistory : He was swaddled in Government nappies, he has had gov ernment HC all his life!! but he is against it for everybody else

HITO : Back soon. Damn, I’ve got to stop with the hitting return function. And Kes, thanks for the adding the “V”. I am now an official youtube poster here. Be well kids.

kesmarn : I hear you, HITO. Have a good night! Thanks for being here!

PatsyT : HITO, all the best and get great rest!

HITO : Love you guys. Thanks for a great night.

HITO : Kids, I’ve got to hit the hay. HITO’s been up since 5am EST and it’s almost 1am EST.

AdLib : bito – yes, that’s what I understand, so a jerk like her doesn’t appeal to every single judge on the court, they say “Okay, we’ll look at it. Denied. Now get lost!”

PatsyT : Anchors Away

bitohistory : it was already denied by Thomas and your right AdLib the second judge always refers it to the court.

kesmarn : Hahahahahaha!

HITO : Panama Canal. Daddy was in the DOD.

AdLib : McCain was born in Panama. He is an anchor baby.

HITO : Well I’d like it unstandardized. I’d like to see her get a volume or two of law precedent throw at her with the full force of reality.

kesmarn : Was McCain born in the U.S.?

AdLib : She’s very upset about it and has had to pay legal fees no doubt to get to the SCOTUS, probably will cost her 100k all in.

AdLib : This is standard process just before the court tosses the appeal.

HITO : $20K? That’s all. Damn.

AdLib : “A request to U.S. Supreme Court Justice Samuel Alito by “birther” attorney Orly Taitz asking that $20,000 in sanctions against her be reversed was referred on Tuesday to the entire court.” Read more: «link»

PatsyT : WFP

kesmarn : Maybe — Oh God, We’re Fucked Pumps

PatsyT : All of the Above or below

AdLib : Or maybe “Fuck U.S. Pumps”.

HITO : Oh you clever man…BP FMPs.

PatsyT : AdLib I think that is Fuck You Pumps

kesmarn : Whee! I hadn’t heard that. Orly, it’s time to pay up and shut up…at long last.

AdLib : I hear BP makes “Fuck Me Pumps”.

HITO : I’d like to see Oily contribute $100K to our deficit, $200K would be even better.

PatsyT : Well she is loaded ?-?loaded with BS

bitohistory : yeah it is hard to believe that half the r’s don’t believe he was born in the US and a bunch think he is a Muslim

AdLib : Well, Orly Taitz is being slamdunked by the SCOTUS and will have to pay fines for her campaign in the courts over Obama’s citizenship, that’s cool!

PatsyT : Well I will be busy then

HITO : In my day they were “Fuck Me Pumps” I think…I’m old

kesmarn : Patsy! CFM Pumps!

AdLib : Patsy – Once you’ve done all that, I’d suggest wrapping yourself up in the Confederate flag and holding a noose in your non-written on hand.

HITO : Kes, fuck em all. BTW, I saw a “GLOBE” edition at the supermarket today I refused to pick up. Told stories about how O is not a citizen, and retold his African history before he was planted here to take control. Assholes.

PatsyT : Oooo kes Red Stilleto Heels Or as we used to say – Come fuck me pumps

kesmarn : Some stilleto heels, Patsy and lots of tea bags on the 10 gallon hat.

AdLib : bito – That is what it means to have a man of principle as president. Even though he knows the RW would use this against him and the Dems as coddling terrorists, he does the right thing. And the Purist Dems want a President Romney in 2012? DO they think Romney would have said that?

kesmarn : YAY for our Prez! But “they” will say: “Of course, he would say that. He’s a Muslim.” On the other hand: who cares what they say!!

HITO : Patsy, I’m a smoker, now stop it. I’m laughing too hard and it hurts!

PatsyT : OK so my wardrobe will consist of White Sheet, Ten Gallon Hat, Oh the background smoldering crosses, bad spelling on my hand… hmm what am I missing?

AdLib : Even so, my God can beat your God up.

bitohistory : did anyone see The Pres. today on the Mosque topic? <blockquote> OBAMA: Let me be clear: as a citizen, and as President, I believe that Muslims have the same right to practice their religion as anyone else in this country. That includes the right to build a place of worship and a community center on private property in lower Manhattan, in accordance with local laws and ordinances. This is America, and our commitment to religious freedom must be unshakeable. </blockquote>

HITO : Crazy kids part deux. I’ve been lapsed out of so many religions…but the best part was that I know if there is a god, it’s the god of all, no matter what stupid human attributes everyone tries to ascribe to it. It laughs it’s ass off at the mere thought.

AdLib : HITO – The reality is, these types will dispute everything that doesn’t agree with their BS. You provide a link, they attack the site as biased. Provide a fact, they’ll claim it’s not a fact. They aren’t interested in a legit debate, it’s just about shouting as loudly as they can that they’re right.

HITO : Adlib, if you’re ever over in the other world and see “barkrudedog” go there. Bastard argued with Seek and I and another epic poster named “soitgoes” for hours about the need for back up links. We were shmucks to have engaged that long, but the environment dictated we do so. Sigh

AdLib : Patsy – One more hint: The scent of burned cross is their favorite perfume.

kesmarn : That will all be settled out at the big WWF GOD MATCH,

AdLib : But I’ve heard that Christian God is stronger than Islamic God.

PatsyT : AdLib my desk is right next to the linen closet and I have scissors at the ready !

kesmarn : I think their little, tiny mouse shaped god might have. Allah told me he didn’t have a thing to do with it, though, AdLib.

AdLib : HITO – That should tell you all you need to know. “Facts? We don’t need no stinkin’ facts!”

HITO : Nah, God’s on our side, Adlib. Don’t cha know?

AdLib : Kes – Maybe God made it disappear?

HITO : THey refuse to post links. They refuse to offer justification for their reasonings. LOL. You can’t make them do it. Kinda the big picture, you know.

kesmarn : They did seem to be slow readers HITO. Maybe it took ‘em 4 days to get through 3 sentences.

AdLib : HITO – When you’re in a fight with Zombies, hard to win with logic.

HITO : Kes, LMAO!….sat in pending for four days. Somethings way wrong with that.

kesmarn : I posted at the SIOA (Stop the Islamization of America) site that Islam was a religion of peace and that moderate Muslims were our brothers and sisters. Sat in “pending” for 4 days. Then vanished.

HITO : Thrillseeker, my ass. We went in, we got bashed (to see how the other side lives) and thank god, anastasiabeaverh ousen came in with two others to bash back for a bit. Seek’s nuts, he wants to got back…not me. I was scared. They jumped us real good.

PatsyT : That is a plan kes I am sharpening my sharpie now

AdLib : Clean Coal = Non-Radioactive Nuclear energy.

AdLib : Patsy – You might try wearing a white hood at RW sites, I hear that really turns them on.

bitohistory : well right AdLib Fossil fuels esp. all that Clean Coal

HITO : Adlib, thanks for the 60 minutes link, bookmarked, damn it’s going to be a 3 cupper of darjeeling in the morning. merci.

AdLib : HITO – You are a thrillseeker! Tucker’s site is a garbage dump for RWs.

kesmarn : Yes, Patsy, they respond to little symbolic things like that. You might try winking a lot and writing messages on the palm of your hand, too.

HITO : Kids, I blogged over at Tucker Carlsons site. Yikes! Batshitcrazy they are and nasty.

AdLib : What woudl Jesus do…to heat water without using fossil fuels!

PatsyT : Next time I am blogging at a bagger site I will wear a hat

AdLib : Bito – our water heaters out in Cali are mostly NG heaters so solar would definitely be better but it wouldn’t reduce oil usage.

HITO : Kes, and he was a patient carpenter. Still is.

kesmarn : AdLib, thank gods we have an administration that won’t actively try to bury this technology to protect big oil/energy.

kesmarn : I love poor carpenters! Starting with one who was in the Middle East a couple thousand years ago!

AdLib : HITO and anyone else who hasn’t seen it, here is a link to the 60 Minutes piece on the Bloom Box. If it all works out, we could solve our energy and CO2 issues in a year! «link»

bitohistory : the savings in money and oil would be tremendous with 1/3 of all homes have solar hot water heaters!! and you could hire a poor carpenter to help build it.

HITO : Aw, you crazy kids. I didn’t know BDM hasn’t been on here, or I would have said something sappy to her. I’m good at sappy. She was funny as shit and took no hostages, but you knew that about her already. And I will re-direct her accordingly, should I have the pleasure again. Haven’t seen her over there in 6 months, easy.

kesmarn : Patsy, the fact that he’s wearing a cowboy hat might get their attention. Briefly.

PatsyT : Do you think any of those tea bagging haywagons might listen to this guy? «link»

kesmarn : Better for the planet. Cheaper for the consumer. Win-win.

HITO : I bookmarked that Adlib. Thanks. But not before noticing how close two of the graphics of demarcation are to me. Sigh.

AdLib : kes – I think the figure is around 80% of energy is lost as it’s transmitted through the grid. Imagine if you had a generator in your backyard, like a water heater and directly powered your own home. We could eliminate that 80% loss by using a grid and our energy needs would evaporate massively.

kesmarn : You hit the nail on the head, HITO. First Energy (power company here) is fighting this tooth and nail, too. They’re being sued by a Consumer’s group now for obstructing these types of initiatives.

HITO : Kes, a couple of folks I know did just that. Are putting power back in the grid, but it was a hard long fight after spending alot of money. And they pretty much had to threaten my local energy carrier to get their paltry reimbursement. Keep telling myself it will start slow, but when enough people do it, we’ll be empowered.

AdLib : HITO – Here’s a link to their site. It’s an amazing documentary and a must see on this topic. It opened my eyes to what NG extraction through fracking means and how it is destroying our nation’s ground water and poisoning people and our land. «link»

PatsyT : HITO yes BDM I love her doggies

PatsyT : Power to the People !

bitohistory : HITO, next time you see BDM, tell her to stop by, she is missed!

kesmarn : AdLib, think of the difference having your own little power station would make in people’s lives!

HITO : Awwww, you’ll get sick of me. I’m warning ya!

PatsyT : HITO Awesome

AdLib : We love you too, HITO! SO nice to have you joining us tonight!

kesmarn : The feeling’s mutual, HITO.

HITO : No I haven’t seen that Adlib. I’ve only come out of my 22 year cave in the last 9 months. Gasland? Do tell, please. Jesus you guys are so smart, have I told you how much I love you today? I do.

PatsyT : Kes, That him in the flesh!

AdLib : Kes – If they took a fraction of the billions we get from letting the Bush taxcuts expire, this could actually happen.

kesmarn : Patsy, Mitch = aged Cabbage Patch Doll

bitohistory : patsy,I hope she can win in Nov, we have a very mixed district- blue Tucson-Red the rest.

kesmarn : Ah, but the country can’t afford those tax credits, AdLib! Not if we’re gonna keep those Bush tax cuts for the wealthy.

AdLib : HITO – Have you seen Gasland? It is pretty scary but well illustrates how destructive and wasteful…and booming the business of fracking is.

PatsyT : Mitch M looks like a wax dummy

AdLib : Here goes Adlib again…if the Bloom Box passes its tour of duty with the major corps and a residential sized one is manufactured, Obama and a Dem Congress could change the whole energy and pollution dynamic by using tax credits or some co-financing to put them in many homes across the country. Swift and huge reduction of CO2 and energy needs.

PatsyT : Bito I love that rep of yours

bitohistory : that’s a good one! Clean air act. SIGNED into law by NIXON!! Whre are the r;s now? Teabaggin in the cloak room?

kesmarn : Everything is blocked in the Senate… except the flow of yuck from Mitch McConnell…

HITO : Please excuse HITO’s bad typing…meant “Thank God” as far as Maurice Hinchey goes…and he may go soon, the Right hates him and the dems in my area are lazy.

kesmarn : Maybe we could arrange a little space walk for ‘em in that case…

HITO : Oh Adlib. That’s just scary, more scary than the info I’ve read in this in my local newspaper. That god my man Hinchey is on it. He’s not having that Frack crap without EPA/DEC approvals…only problem is, like those agencies have any power anymore. Still Bushlike in those arenas. O’s got to empower those agencies the way Clinton did. Can you say “Clean Air Act”…I have a good memory.

AdLib : Patsy – The Repubs would take off their own spacesuit helmet in space if they thought keeping it on would help Obama.

bitohistory : Gabby Giffords, my rep, wrote a good solar bill in the house and it passed. blocked in the Senate.

kesmarn : More things Obama never got credit for, AdLib…. sigh…

AdLib : kes – The Cash for Clunkers program was hugely successful. And the weather proofing houses bit created jobs and saves energy.

PatsyT : Bito, Isn’t AZ like the Saudi Arabia of Solar ? Why don’t they want to rule the world?

AdLib : HITO – Exactly. Obama was too intent on being a good guy when he got into office and trying to be bipartisan. Having Rahm by his side tamping down his more ambitious ideas didn’t help either.

kesmarn : And it’s money spent that would SAVE us money in the long run, AdLib. Like replacing clunkers with more efficient cars, weather-proofing houses and getting more energy-efficient appliances into homes.

PatsyT : The repubs would block legislation to cure cancer … some show said that today

bitohistory : NY has more solar power than AZ with its 362 days of sunshine!!! God AZ!

AdLib : HITO – Check out this article I wrote on NG and fracking: «link»

HITO : Adlib, just like Kennedy got us going with PeaceCorps. Obama should have orchestrated a “save the planet” movement. True that…I’m very disappointed with him that regard.

HITO : Kes, let it go. It feels good. Trust me.

AdLib : Before Obama was elected, I imagined how he could launch a “going-to-the-m oon” type aggressive program to get us deep into developing a renewable energy industry. That would bring back manufacturing, high paid jobs and the world as customers. He has done some of that through the stimulus but the bullshit from Repubs on how we can’t spend into deficits (only Bush and Reagan were allowed to do so) has blocked the robust spending there should have been.

PatsyT : Bito I know they are going hog wild on the coal fired plants but Yes tI think they will see the economic advantage of this before our sorry asses

kesmarn : HITO, AdLib had an article on fracking a while back. I was unaware until I read that how damaging this fucking freaking fracking is to the environment.

HITO : Bito: NO way! WTF? China is beating us in solar panels? Oh, now I have to go get more wine. Shit.

bitohistory : patsy,60% of solar panels are now made in China, #1 in wind energy. Yes they have a lot of pollution , but it seems they are making an effort

HITO : Kids big news in my area of NY is the movement against “fracking” by energy companies to get natural gas. They drill, insert heinous chemicals that EPA has NOT approved and get their little bit of gas at a price no one wants to pay.

kesmarn : I am being fucking restrained tonight, for a change.

PatsyT : HITO just don’t go NAACP on us

AdLib : HITO – Fuck yeah!

kesmarn : b’ito, I made the mistake of clicking on a further link on that page — to a story on a teacher who beat an 11 year old student to death and threw her out a 4th floor window. Argh.

PatsyT : Big Phama strikes again !

HITO : Oh, if they beat us to it, that’s just fucked up. That was O’s stance on fixing alot…unemploym ent, environment. If China beats us to it, then we are certainly fucked. (Adlib is it ok that I’m F-bombing so much?)

AdLib : We will save energy by reverting from electricity powered computers to manual computers. The abacus industry is braced for a resurgence.

kesmarn : But according to “them,” not only is there no global climate change, BP also did virtually no damage to the environment. All that oil has just disappeared. Denial is the world’s best drug.

bitohistory : k’s that was like looking a snuff film. Hard to watch!and just think he was making 50 cents an hour, no saftey anything . GAH

PatsyT : HITO they will embrace green energy

HITO : GOP endorses going to back to fat rendered candles.

HITO : Patsy, in what regard? (will they come to their senses)

AdLib : The Chinese, not for environmental but economic reasons, are building a renewable energy industry in a huge way. Meanwhile, thanks to the GOP, we’ve passed tax breaks to explore a return to horseless carriages.

PatsyT : Bito, I have a feeling that the Chinese will come to their senses before we will

kesmarn : These landslides are a tragedy and the flooding…good Lord. b’ito, those photos of the oil spill clean up workers were heart-breaking.

AdLib : bito – Yes, I added a section about that in a comment in my Flood of Fires post. Terrible and looks like it is only going to continue in the coming years.

HITO : I did. Terrible stuff going on over there. Asia is in deep shit.

AdLib : Well, everyone needs a role model. For Palin, it was Damien.

bitohistory : Did anyone see my post yesterday that there was another landslide in China?

HITO : Patsy: Yes you are.

PatsyT : HITO Perfect !

HITO : Damn, that scared me Adlib. I was expecting a plain face, but got satan. Wait…..you’re right!

PatsyT : Thanks God for Botox !

kesmarn : Post exorcism is even worse.

AdLib : That was pre-exorcism.

HITO : Kes, EXACTLY! Two fan whores going at it. Brixton, or whatever the hell her name is, just picked her mom as her suitor.

kesmarn : Nightmares tonight!!! AAhhhhhhhhhhh!!!

PatsyT : LOLOL ADLIb !!!

kesmarn : That’s it, HITO. They hate each other because they are exactly alike. Superficial attention-whores .

HITO : When we people get it…we need accountable, committed people to do the right thing when it comes to governance.

AdLib : If you haven’t seen Sarah Palin without makeup: «link»

HITO : If Levi wins, then he will slam her face with reality that she was a sham, because so is he. How sad is that?

kesmarn : OMG, b’ito! That is brilliant!

HITO : Drink crazy Sarah shit? Hell no, but I’ve had a bit too much Pinot tonight. I could drink a case and still hate the SP thing though.

PatsyT : Levi for Mayor!

kesmarn : I do believe she may have met her match in Levi.

bitohistory : «link»

bitohistory : John McCain’s 44 Flip-Flops

PatsyT : YES AdLib !

kesmarn : YES!! AdLib, you renew my faith in dudes!

AdLib : Palin is not sexy. She is nasty, most guys I know feel the same way.

HITO : But meanwhile, back in crazy reality town, Fiorina and Whitman continue their races with major capital input. $99Million isn’t enough!

kesmarn : It’s such a relief to hear you guys have not drunk the Sexy Sarah kool aid!!

bitohistory : No thank you not without her paying me big bucks

kesmarn : We were logging the number of McCain flip-flops this evening. Impressive. At one point 10 in 2 weeks.

HITO : Kes, all political walks want to fuck her. And don’t think she doesn’t know that and capitalize on it. I loved when her photos of her without the makeup hit…not that I’ve seen them, but heard many gasps.

AdLib : HITO – That’s really not true, most messed up Republican men may want to fuck her but I know many non-GOP men and I don’t know of one who would want to be in the same room with her…without a custard pie in hand to throw at her.

kesmarn : I think you are definitely on to something there, HITO!

bitohistory : That’s right HITO, but he changed his mind?-?-again!

HITO : Kes, she is so inept, it defies words. But how she got where she is, well I’ll assume it’s because most men just want to fuck her. There. I’ve said it. Sorry Adlib.

PatsyT : HITO OBL is hanging out in one of mccains empty vacation homes

AdLib : All McCain can cough up now are the last vestiges of his soul…and a watercress sandwich.

kesmarn : I guess I think of her religious fundamentalist extremism, HITO, and her lack of understanding of how democracy and free speech work and she looks pretty Taliban-ish to me.

HITO : I keep waiting for McCain to cough up where Osama Bin Laden is. (wow I actually typed that, and not the usual OBL) Mac knew where he was…waiting for it.

PatsyT : HITO it was on HP but I love Shannyn Moore «link»

AdLib : Hey…what if that exorcism didn’t work on Palin? Maybe we should promote the meme that she is still possessed by demons!

bitohistory : I herd some one say if she had been smacking bubble gum she could have played a valley girl. To steal KO’s line “she is an Idiot”

AdLib : bito – Log Cabin Republicans…ju st an S&M club, getting beaten and abused by their “colleagues” in the GOP on a daily basis and they keep coming back for more.

HITO : I don’t know, calling her a Taliban is a bit much. Don’t get me wrong, if I had a chance, I’d bitch slap her moronic crap.

kesmarn : Daddy must be so proud…. or not…

bitohistory : Her father was a teacher and her brother is one now.

kesmarn : That is the perfect name for her, b’ito. American Taliban if ever I saw one!

HITO : NOT A TEACHER!!!!!! Yikes.

AdLib : Teechurs? Wee hayte skool!

PatsyT : Love it Bito !

HITO : LOL, I missed that whole bunch of nonsense from Palin. But I’m delighting with your info.

bitohistory : Osarah Bin Palin?

kesmarn : Not too much respect for the teaching profession in general from the Palin clan.

PatsyT : Oh that pause

HITO : Adlib: Back at you.

AdLib : Kes – “The response from Palin and her daughter to their question of what the woman did, she said, “I’m a teacher” and there was an uncomfortable pause from the Palin Klan, then, as if she had said she eats babies, they chimed in sync, “Oh.”

dildenusa : I know Adlib. legal immigrants want to close the door on anyone who might take away what they have

bitohistory : AdLib I do not understand that at all . Same with log cabin R’s.

HITO : My daughter’s guidance counselor pushed the shit out of her and gave her reality based motives. Then got her an award from my county’s executive for her community service. Sigh. Sometimes all that arguing seems worthwhile.

PatsyT : Kes, Yes That was very special Kinda of told the whole story

kesmarn : Patsy, did you see the Sarah Palin vid of the confrontation with the teacher in Alaska?

AdLib : Hito –

bitohistory :

PatsyT : My Grad’s AP Teacher had a very special interest – GETTING MY CHILD INTO THE COLLAGE OF HER CHOICE !

HITO : Esquise you or Esquire you? Would if I could.

kesmarn : Biff and Buffy may want to broaden the gene pool, b’ito.

AdLib : Esquise me?

dildenusa : just some psychobabble. but children of the wealthy have very high expectations when it comes to working and middle class people

bitohistory : Too much interbreeding, k’es?

HITO : Adlib, strangely enough both his sons were esquires….hmmm m?

AdLib : bito – That is messed up. But look at the black and Latino Republicans, they may have benefited from Dem policies yet they have dedicated themselves to taking away such benefits for people just like them.

kesmarn : Could the ultra-wealth suffer from a form of autism? They seem to be unable to relate to human emotion. Only objects. Well — one object. MONEY.

dildenusa : I hear you Adlib. it’s called status anxiety.

PatsyT : My daughters kindergarten teacher has a very special interest – MY CHILD !

AdLib : HITO – I’ve seen the sons of self-made people ignore contractual obligations out of mere resentment, just because they want everything and don’t think anyone should have what they want.

kesmarn : I’ve seen that, too, b’ito. The VERY people who benefited from the union in their youth will turn on it. Good luck to ‘em!

HITO : Bito: Talk about heresy.

bitohistory : Greedy children. I have seen it it people whose folks were Union, Union HC, Union wages sent them to college, and now they are anti union. Talk about ungrateful.

HITO : Adlib, I saw that in his sons, circa 1988. They had been protocol son types, and they intended to maintain that status quo. There was no work ethic in them, something their dad had worked his ass off for. BTW, my boss was a major Dem contributor, at least that made me happy.

PatsyT : Dilden there is so much to be positive about! Did anyone catch the Rachel M show about the rundown of the Obama accomplishments ?

kesmarn : Yes, d, if we could only learn to be a bit more humble and grateful. There’s too much of this “Please, sir, I want some more” when it comes to gruel…

AdLib : What about the Repubs calling the state assistance bill that just passed, “a payoff to special interests”…wh en it pays for teachers, firemen, police…working people! Yet, their tax cut for the wealthiest 1%, that’s helping the “real” Americans?

dildenusa : well Kes they do but only if we do their bidding. you know. get back to work you lazy ……..

PatsyT : If I hear one more reporter on the cabals say – There is a lot of anger out there – I am going to have to go and do something rash like buy kool aid

kesmarn : dilden, wouldn’t it be nice if they actually DID give a rat’s patoot about the working/middle class?

AdLib : HITO – The sense of entitlement that the children of the wealthy have can make them more unprincipled and crooked than their parents. They are bred to be sociopathic because, as corporations are now “people”, the people who run them have the values of corporations.

bitohistory : Hey d, you post some good thoughts and links on debt-financial thingys thanks….

dildenusa : I’m trying to keep positive about things.

PatsyT : HITO

kesmarn : Sorry again. Country, not county. Typo Queen tonight.

kesmarn : There seems to be a real load of anger building in the county at large. I wonder where this will lead… And Hi to dildenusa!!

HITO : true that, dildenusa

AdLib : Hey dildenusa!

PatsyT : Hi Dildenusa

dildenusa : Hello everyone! the repubs, in their heart of hearts really believe they are helping the working and middle class by giving away billions to 1% of the population.

AdLib : Greed has no limits, it feeds on itself. How much more could you eat or do with $100 million more when you have $100 million?

PatsyT : The repubs need to twist in the wind about the hypocrisy of wanting to reduce the deficit but at the same time keeping the bush tax cuts!

HITO : I’ve worked for a couple of millionaires. They don’t get it. Well, one did, son of a tailor in PA. Owned 1/4 of Time Warner when it was just Warner. Frugal, but his crazy ass wife, daughter of a CBS Paley, loved to loot the bank accounts. Wealthy people…90% of them, just want to keep what they have and could give a shit about the “right thing to do”.

kesmarn : AdLib, thanks for the WAPO numbers.

kesmarn : The concept of “ENOUGH” is lost upon them.

bitohistory : That is a gift of 125,000 apiece for those making a million dollars.

AdLib : From the WAPO: “A Republican plan to extend tax cuts for the rich would add more than $36 billion to the federal deficit next year — and transfer the bulk of that cash into the pockets of the nation’s millionaires, according to a congressional analysis released Wednesday. “

HITO : Patsy: I LOVE YOU! Girl, you crack me up real good!

kesmarn : And they claim to be all about fiscal responsibility. What a joke.

PatsyT : HITO they do not have enough empty vacation homes

HITO : Jesus Christ! $38BILLION for those wealthy bastards tax cuts? Incredible.

kesmarn : HITO very smart. And looking out for kids. Good.

PatsyT : HITO you are smart !

AdLib : Just as the wealthy and corporations didn’t care what would happen to the world as they stole trillions of money through derivatives, they don’t care that grabbing as much as they can now from the majority and sending the middle class sinking down into the lower class, the economic engine that drives our economy, consumer spending, is destroyed. Then what?

kesmarn : HITO, I saw a figure that it would add $38 Billion to the deficit. So your numbers are not too high…I don’t think.

HITO : Kes, I wrote in my oldest college funding into the separation agreement whose language will survive when we divorce in one year. HITO smart!

kesmarn : Wow, HITO, you have one in college. That in itself is expensive. And keeping a household of 2 going is not cheap…even living frugally. I wish you well.

HITO : Adlib, I saw numbers this week that predicted if the Bush wealthy tax cuts stood, we were looking at $8Bil over 10 years. I know it sounds too high, but I assume it took other “trickle” down factors.

PatsyT : The book -Two Years Before the Mast- tells the story of R H Dana and they have the ship there at the Ocean Institute – beautiful place

kesmarn : It’s so much displaced/mispla ced anger. The poor are not to blame for the way things are, but they’re getting the brunt of it.

AdLib : HITO – Appreciate that. WHich is why I can’t understand, the Repubs block unemployment pay and money to help ill 9/11 workers, block HCR, Financial reform yet want the top 1% of the country to get billions. How can people want them to be in a position to do this?

HITO : Kes, my oldest is dorming at state university starting next week. It’s just me and my son, for the next five years.

bitohistory : Did you catch Newtie calling unemployment insurance “welfare? and it wasn’t a slip he did it more than once. ARSE!

HITO : Kes, I’m getting $2K/mo. childsupport/ali mony which fades over the next five years. I’ve been a part time admin for 6 years, but will need to supplement by either getting another part time gig (probable) or full time gig (impossible).

kesmarn : Patsy, that’s very cool! Dana Point…

kesmarn : HITO, that’s ah huge adjustment in income for your family!

AdLib : It is a bit scary that so many Americans are so willing to “get even” with the party in power that they will blindly accept any alternative including racists, corporate tools and the very people who were in power just one and a half years ago who destroyed the world’s economy and this nation’s stability. How stupid are these people?

HITO : And that “working class” is disappearing everyday.

PatsyT : Kes, I live near Dana Point CA and they have the «link» I have been on a few field trips for the 4th graders and that is the part that gets them all!

bitohistory : There are a few graph/chart nerds here. I don’t know how many i have seen on where the weallth is but is sure isn’t in the working class.

kesmarn : An insult to elephants everywhere…

HITO : Adlib, I’d be happy making $25k/year for now. My X made +$100K. But right now, it’s about getting by, not living the high life. And anyone that wants that high life, pay your taxes and shut up.

AdLib : kes – And that’s giving the worst part of the deal to the elephant.

kesmarn : AdLib…which brings us right back to Newt’s face!

HITO : Need to raise the SS cap to $250K or more for 4-6 years.

kesmarn : Patsy! I didn’t know that about steerage hygiene!

AdLib : Kes – I thought of an elephant’s but.

AdLib : bito – I checked the actual figures and they’re more dismal than you think. The top 1% of the nation earns $100k or more…so 99% of the nation’s households earn less. It’s really the top half of a percent who are wealthy in this nation. The American dream is bullshit, everyone’s odds are 99.5% against ever becoming a millionaire.

kesmarn : Yes, b’ito, or telling someone: “Do not think of an elephant.” Of course, you’re going to think of nothing but!

PatsyT : Steerage ! They all used the same ‘rope’ to wipe themselves ahh the good old days «link»

kesmarn : Patsy, yes, who can buy anything when there’s no longer a middle class. Then they have the gall to want to extend the Bush tax cuts for the wealthy.

bitohistory : k’es, like the judge telling the jury to ignore certain info.

kesmarn : Yes, b’ito. Middle class is a dying entity…

HITO : The middle class are extinct. The repubs wanted it that way. Don’t have a clue how to get their numbers back. Not in our current situation. But, the middle class built this nations prosperity in the 50s.

PatsyT : Kes works every time

kesmarn : I think Laura’s “apology” was cynical, too, AdLib. Just CYA to keep her job after she’d gotten her real “message” out there.

PatsyT : Hito sounds cool

bitohistory : middle class? 10% owns 90% of the wealth and 90% owns 10%. Worst it has been since pre depression

PatsyT : Kes, YES with out a middle class Look at what we have ….oh booo hooo no consumers Hey where did they all go?

HITO : Patsy, I’m sorry I just realized, that it was BigDogMom that shared that thread the other day with me. Sovereigns who are closer to anarchists.

AdLib : The thing is, I don’t see anything genuine about anything the Repubs say, it’s all done to win elections. Are the Repubs in Congress all really as racist as they portray themselves? Or are they just cynically pandering to the racist Baggers for votes? They have no principles, I think it’s just saying what works. DO Palin and Boehner and Bachman all really believe what they say or are they just baiting their rabid followers and treating them like fools?

kesmarn : I would contribute $ for his boat trip over there…steerage .

PatsyT : I would love to see – Beck in Somalia with nothing but a dime

kesmarn : Exactly, b’ito! And it might help if they finally woke up and realized that having a middle class is a GOOD thing.

HITO : Wingers hate FDR. They’ll never see that reality.

HITO : Oh Patsy, We were supposed to send the sovereigns to Somalia!

PatsyT : Great point Bito !

bitohistory : ask any winger where capitalism would have been if not for FDR. He saved it.

PatsyT : They need a trip to Somalia

HITO : Adlib, Beck referenced “Planet of the Apes”. Jesus Christ, you should have seen the trolls in denial. “What, he was just making a comparison to a governing change.” Bullshit.

kesmarn : The big hero of the right, now, is Calvin Coolidge and FDR is Satan in a wheelchair. They are deranged!

HITO : OMG, Kes. WE ARE distorting history? WTF? He’s an assclown. (And yes, I have the beautiful graphic Adlib made awhile back right up above my desk.)

AdLib : HITO – Laura said the “n” word. Beck said Obama hates white people”. And “libs” are delusional about racism?

HITO : Bito: Denial is great. And fucking scary. No way to show a mirror to them.

kesmarn : That Rove technique is appalling, AdLib. Caught a few minutes of Beck today and he is saying that the LEFT is erasing/distorti ng history to suit their agenda! That would be funny if it weren’t so infuriating.

AdLib : That’s what the whole attack on the NAACP is about. Right after they called on the Baggers to reject the racists among them, they spun around in Rove mode and attacked the NAACP as being racist against poor oppressed white people.

bitohistory : HITO, that is because they are racists, so they don’t recognize it when they see it.

HITO : Patsy…so true: “It’s just there under the surface”

AdLib : Kes – Yes, this is the Karl Rove approach to being racist. Accuse your opponent of what you are or what you are doing. So, say racist things and when anyone calls you a racist, you brand them as the real racist. This was what Breitbart was trying to do too.

PatsyT : HITO they talk in codes

HITO : All the trolls over on HP say libs are delusional with their rants about racist. Are we? I don’t think so. I think we see this subliminal shit and it makes the hair stand up on the back of our necks, appropriately so.

AdLib : HITO – There is nothing for any fair minded person to love about this woman. She is hateful, racist and spews the venom every day that now passes for political opinion of Repubs. It is interesting that as bad as people feel about the Dems, they STILL disapprove of the Repubs more than the Dems. That’s quite a feat for the Repubs to accomplish.

HITO : Adlib: Separate but equal drinking fountains…LMFA O! Feel like I’m back in SC circa 1964.

PatsyT : AdLib it is always just there under the surface

kesmarn : It’s aggravating, too, that when a person of color objects to blatant racism, THAT’s called “playing the race card”! As if Beck didn’t when he called Obama racist!

bitohistory : I’m afraid to answer your question AdLib, because I’m afraid that the answer is yes.

kesmarn : Yes, AdLib, in the name of “free enterprise.” I’ve actually heard the argument: Business owners should be able to serve whomever they like..”

HITO : Seek has a new sock, and I’m trying to find it for fun. So I was looking at newbies over at HP all day. One nubie who seemed ok, espoused it’s love of this woman. And how we don’t know how wonderful she is. It’s from CA, read through it’s comments, seemed OK, but this situation just made me say, “you’re an idiot”.

AdLib : Kes – She was blatantly racist. What does this mean, for racism to now be socially acceptable and a valued GOP campaign theme?

PatsyT : She told the truth – That is how she really feels

bitohistory : Here are her taped words with a transcript. «link»

kesmarn : Also, she plays “dumb,” as in “I’m confused here,” but she is not a stupid woman.

AdLib : Patsy – I was just going to comment on that too…”you people”. I’m waiting for Sharron Angle and Rand Paul to announce their support of separate but equal drinking fountains.

PatsyT : Can a boycott of her advertisers help?

kesmarn : Those may not be the precise words, HITO, but that was the gist of it.

HITO : It’s OK to be racist because it’s just bashing the POTUS, which is acceptable. Just an extension.

PatsyT : YOU PEOPLE ???

HITO : “You people have your president”. Well that just makes me very angry.

AdLib : kes – Laura also said “If you can’t handle it, don’t marry out of your race” and “Don’t NAACP me!” She is a blatant racist and pays no price for it?

kesmarn : Exactly, Patsy! She is a mean-spirited woman.

PatsyT : Hey, she showed her true colors by saying don’t NAACP me!

bitohistory : I heard it was all Obama’s fault for all the talk. he brings it up all the time.?-?well he was a winger.

AdLib : Don Imus, Howard Cosell, on and on, there are many who lost their jobs for racism or perceived racism (the rap against Cosell was unfair). Nowadays, you can say the “N” word on radio and all you have to do is give a dishonest apology.

kesmarn : The worst thing Laura said, IMO, was, in effect: “You people have your President. There can’t be any more prejudice now. Get over it.” Vicious and false.

PatsyT : Sorry OT this is quick . . . Oh thanks bito and this is a link to the new meet the mormon ad campaign «link»

HITO : We have a black president. (and half black apparently counts as black). This is why all this bullshit comes up. They hid it well, but now can’t help themselves to rant.

kesmarn : A quick thank you to b’ito. I missed that link!

AdLib : LET’S BEGIN WITH OUR FIRST TOPIC: DR. LAURA USED HER RADIO SHOW TO TOSS THE “N” WORD AROUND LIKE CONFETTI. SHE HAS APOLOGIZED AND WILL CONTINUE WITH HER TALK SHOW. RUSH AND BECK HAVE EXHIBITED SIMILAR RACISM AND ONLY GROW MORE POPULAR. THERE WAS A TIME WHEN PEOPLE WOULD RESIGN OVER SUCH THINGS, NOT GET BETTER RATINGS. HAS RACISM NOW BECOME PUBLICLY ACCEPTABLE AGAIN AND EVEN ENCOURAGED FOR RATINGS AND REVENUE ASPECTS? IF SO, WHAT DOES THAT MEAN ABOUT THE COURSE OF THIS NATION AND RACIAL RELATIONS MOVING FORWARD?

bitohistory : While patsy and k’es are here I left you a link in last weeks music thread on Dione and Burt.

HITO : See, now I always thought Newt would make a good door stop. Keeping the door closed to any concepts that may eradicate ignorance.

kesmarn : I think Newt would make a great Mormon. He seems prone to polygamy.

PatsyT : It is a secret spa

kesmarn : I confess to making a mean paprikas, but few of my friends/family find me rational.

kesmarn : I vote YES, b’ito! Hey, we’re back on baptism again!

HITO : Kes, bet you are an excellent cook. And an excellent rationalist.

bitohistory : Can we do it to Newt and not pull him up from the holy water?

kesmarn : Oh, yeah, HITO. All German on one side and all Hungarian on the other. Half rational and efficient. Half schizophrenic but prone to dancing the czardas.

HITO : KES: LMFAO!

kesmarn : I wonder how many people one person can be a proxy for? I mean you could get dunked dozens of times a day…think of what that would do to your skin…

HITO : Oh, Kes. Thank you. My dad was a son of two Hungarian parents, both who passed through Ellis Island circa 1901. YIKES!

HITO : I’ve read former articles about how the Mormon church is tracking all family lineages…perha ps to make sure their’s is pure?

kesmarn : It doesn’t get better than ballsy Hungarian, HITO. I have one of those, too.

AdLib : “They say that those who are dead retain their identity and free will and therefore can either accept or reject the rites performed for them. A hands-on proxy baptism ceremony, called an ordinance, takes place in a Mormon temple, and includes full immersion to wash away sins and commence church membership. It is supposedly performed, commentators say, for people who had believed in Christ, but had not had a chance to be baptized.”

bitohistory : I have heard of stealing deceased childrens numbers. Just read that recently. Tha tway they start out with a clean credit score

HITO : If the Mormons tried to baptize my grandmother, well I wish them luck. She was one ballsy gypsy hungarian and would kick their sorry asses. I get my “spunk” from her.

kesmarn : Heh. We have the same info, AdLib. Must be true!

PatsyT : I live less then a half a mile from a Mormon Church

AdLib : Just found this from «link» The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (often referred to as the LDS or Mormons) has spent millions of dollars microfilming, indexing and cataloging nearly every document known to man from every country on earth — including millions of Jewish records. Church members are encouraged to find the names of ancestors to baptize by proxy, which they believe gives the dead the opportunity to embrace the faith in the afterli

kesmarn : Saved. Sorry. Tired.

kesmarn : Yes, AdLib. That’s why they were at the university. They do a “baptism by proxy” thing, if I’m not mistaken to make sure all their ancestors are “save”?

HITO : No, only passed on people. My aunt, my uncle, my grandparents, but my aunt only passed in 2003. I have to yell at someone in the near future. Didn’t mean to monopolize the thread with this. Sorry.

PatsyT : Well I can’t wait to die then

AdLib : You do know that the Mormon Church baptizes dead people?.

kesmarn : Is it possible to take out a credit card in a deceased person’s name?

bitohistory : HITO I knew that you could get deceased SS numbers, if it has bee over 20 years, but living?

HITO : It was quite an awakening about what you can get on the internet. Just by googling a loved one’s name. In this case, it brought up my grandfather’s name and SS no., since my dad’s name is the same.

AdLib : HITO – Indeed, that is outrageous. I can’t believe they haven’t been sued for it yet.

PatsyT : LDS and SS numbers?? What are they up to?

kesmarn : Too many years ago, I worked in a university record dept. and they had old county birth records. The Mormons were microfilming them right and left.

HITO : But Adlib, divulging former SS nos. is only good for criminal intent..”Please do use these numbers”, no?

TakeInAPlay : HITO, that is truly scary.

AdLib : HITO – The Mormon Church owns Ancestry.com, you’ve probably seen the ads for it. They are intent on culling identities.

PatsyT : Bito, you are looking good

kesmarn : I sense that there is a b’ito in the room….please join hands around the table…..

HITO : Serious as a heart attack, got my grandparents SS nos., my aunt’s and uncles and a whole bunch of my family tree branches. Again, WTF?

TakeInAPlay : Love it Ad! You’re so green. Of course that could be from drinking old shampoo.

AdLib : BITO! Hola, amigo!

kesmarn : HITO, seriously?

AdLib : Very cool, TIAP! I am drinking beer from a bottle made of recycled bath mats. Urp! There is an odd scent of strawberry conditioner to it but otherwise…

bitohistory : I don’t show up being on line. is this some sort of sign? I feel pretty good. Do I still exist? test: Hello all.

TakeInAPlay : I don’t know how they did it but it really is soft and stain resistant. A plus when you have a cat.

kesmarn : Cool. Fiber Glass?

TakeInAPlay : I’m so LA!!!!

TakeInAPlay : It’s really soft and it doesn’t leak.

HITO : Well, here’s a little ditty I learned today googling my dad’s name (my sister is not talking to me and I’m waiting for him to pass, so I’ve taken to googling his name every day to see if he shows up in the obits) Well it seems the Church of Latter Day Saints has listings of all deceased people and THEIR SOCIAL SECURITY NOS. What the fuck?

TakeInAPlay : I stopped at Costco and bought a throw rug made from recycled bottles.

kesmarn : Just watched a local PBS interview with the guy who’s running against wonderful Marcy here. He’s even dumber than he looks. HI TIAP!!

AdLib : Hey TIAP!!!

TakeInAPlay : Hey all! Sorry I’m late. Had to run some errands on the way home.

PatsyT : chat chat chatty chat chatty chat

AdLib : Still waiting for a few folks, so feel free to chat.

HITO : Patsy….LOL!!!! !!!!!

kesmarn :

PatsyT : Because there is no end to those pricks

kesmarn : Patsy…tell…

AdLib : Thanks Kes!!!

AdLib : When I played in the sandbox, the cat kept covering me up.

kesmarn : But, AdLib, you actually DO get respect…

PatsyT : -Why is it that you can’t circumcise tea baggers?

AdLib : Here’s some Rodney Dangerfield: I looked up my family tree and found out I was the sap.

kesmarn : Go for it, AdLib…

AdLib : Henny Youngman, anyone?

HITO : Adlib, bring that schtick on…I could use it tonight!

kesmarn : Does Questinia live in NY state, too? I miss her. Q. where are you?

AdLib : Schtick!

AdLib : Ah, Catskills! Time for my ol’

HITO : Mid Hudson Valley, Catskills, yup. City girl goes country slash mountain girl…lol. Won’t leave the house without full makeup and blown out hair.

kesmarn : You really ARE in the Catskills,huh, HITO?

HITO : Kes: Ah. I got nervous. Thought maybe I’ve passed you at the gas station in town.

PatsyT : Hito, sometimes Kes is beyond funny (I secretly think she may be a comedy pro)

kesmarn : Not really HITO. Patsy suspects I moonlight there, doing stand-up.

HITO : Serious shit, Kes. Do you live in the Catskills?

kesmarn : Patsy, you are always so gracious about my dumb jokes…love ya.

HITO : Had to poof my gmail…Look to the Left long story. THis is my old one for Mrs. Gustav over there, also poofed.

kesmarn : Hi HITO! Sleeping noobs over there?

PatsyT : Hey Hito, love that Avi!

HITO : Kes lives in the Catskills?

PatsyT : I am going to call you Kes of the Catskills !

HITO : Hi kids, sorry I’m late. Had to wake a nubie up over on the other side.

kesmarn : Have the ceiling fan and a standing floor fan on simultaneously. More fans than I have at HuffPo.

PatsyT : Just finished feeding the dogs and I am waiting for my burrito from Pedros

AdLib : Hey all!!! How is everyone?

kesmarn : Sooo hot, Patsy! Day after day…and humid!

kesmarn : Hi, Khirad!

PatsyT : Hey Kes, Still hot in Ohio?

kesmarn : OOps…meant IS that you…not IT… short sleep!

kesmarn : And it that you I see there, Patsy! YES!

PatsyT : Hi Guys

kesmarn : Hey, AdLib, how are you?

Blues Tiger : you too AdLib..

AdLib : Well, looks like it’s about time to end tonight’s edition of Vox Populi. Thanks BT for joining in tonight, have a great weekend!

AdLib : Sleep well Patsy! So nice seeing you!

Blues Tiger : Nite PT

PatsyT : Well I am fading …. I will have to say Farewell….. Have a wonderful Evening !

Blues Tiger : The allegations are this church actually participated in raising funds for her

AdLib : BT – There’s the rub, only someone with an axe to grind would report their church for endorsing candidates in a service.

AdLib : tax

AdLib : Patsy – I know, they hand out voter guides at many churches too. But technically, it is against the law for a church to engage in political activity if they want to keep their taz exempt status.

Blues Tiger : who wants to be known in a small town or anywhere as the guy who took out a church over politics

Blues Tiger : but think about it

Blues Tiger : they do it alot PT

PatsyT : Bye Bye tax exempt status !

Blues Tiger : A church here is in some trouble for endorsing Sally Kern

PatsyT : AdLib they kinda already do It is really scary in those Mega Churches

Blues Tiger : Thats what I don’t get in AZ,Hayward is connected to the Abramoff scandal… What chance does he have to be an effictive rep if he wins?

AdLib : As for TP’s Sharron Angle: “Republican Sharron Angle believes the clergy should be allowed to endorse candidates from the pulpit and opposes laws allowing gays to adopt children, according to a questionnaire by the Nevada Senate hopeful that was obtained by The Associated Press.”

Blues Tiger : So far their 2 big candidates haven’t proven to be the sharpest knives in the political drawer

AdLib : From Wikipedia: Istook received $29,000 in campaign contributions from Abramoff and some of his clients. Istook wrote letters urging the Bush administration to reject a casino proposal that Abramoff’s clients opposed.

Blues Tiger : I think he is connected to them PT

PatsyT : Istook ? Is that the guy from Heritage Foundation?

AdLib : BT – That’s because the GOP plan is to always act as the victim. When it comes to race, it’s white people who are being victims. Taxes, it is rich people being victims. And so on and so on. Apparently, the victim mentality appeals to the poorly educated and financially desperate people who follow the GOP.

Blues Tiger : Oh and don’t forget asshole okie Earnest Istook is behind alot of that Big Lobby Tea Party money

Blues Tiger : Brown always said thanks for the support but I am not Tea Party

PatsyT : Brown is not exactly the sharpest knife in the drawer

AdLib : BT – The original Tea Partier was Dick Armey from Freedomworks. Then Fox News. Yeah, real grass roots.

Blues Tiger : the wussies where attempting to deflect any repercussions upon a Minority instead of being man enough to Stand Up as themselves

AdLib : Brown hasn’t toed the TP line because he wants to be re-elected but that’s not going to happen either. A Dem will win his seat as long as they don’t run another goofball.

Blues Tiger : Think about this…. The original Tea Partiers where a bunch of white guys dressed up as a minority

AdLib : BT – Right again, how can a Repub be the head of a TP caucus if they aren’t a subset of the GOP? That logic can’t be opposed.

PatsyT : «link»

PatsyT : They are mad at Scott Brown for being such a tease

Blues Tiger : I thought of something the other day as I contemplated an article to post

AdLib : BT – True, they are a bogus, manufactured “group”. They are and always have been a subset of the GOP.

Blues Tiger : How can they have a Tea Party Caucus when there is no member elected as Tea Party?

Blues Tiger : No One is running under the Tea Party name

Blues Tiger : But thats just it AdLib all they are is GOP, not a single viable “Tea Party” candidate

Blues Tiger : They feel screwed by Scott Brown

AdLib : BT – The TP’s have a lot of influence thanks to the MSM, even though they are such a tiny group. Their influence is powerful on the GOP.

PatsyT : Hey they can always play Vegas The Tea Partiers would like the free buffets !

Blues Tiger : I wonder just how much influence the Tea Party even has at this point

AdLib : BT – That sounds delicious! Much better bacon distribution than having the strips on top.

Blues Tiger : There is a diner around here, the cook puts bacon a stainless steel bowl of water and sits it on the grill… When he makes a burger patty he pulls out a few strips and chops it up fine on the grill and then adds it to the fresh ground chuck

AdLib : One last topic for the night that unfortunately has very little to do with bacon: The more Sharron Angle and Rand Paul help the public recognize what Tea Party candidates are all about (with Palin and Bachman in Overdrive…pun intended), could the Tea Party be dead after Nov if all their candidates lose?

PatsyT : Covered in powered sugar of course

PatsyT : They were selling that at the OC County fair

AdLib : Hey, how about a Bacon wrapped pound of bacon using a bacon wrapped frying pan and cooking with bacon grease?

PatsyT : It needs to be covered in batter and deep fried!

AdLib : The Infarction Burger.

AdLib : Yes Patsy, that’s the one that gave me a mini HA.

PatsyT : Ahhh AdLib you like the Bacon Cheese Turtle Burger ?

Blues Tiger : I have allergies to pork but every couple of months I gtota knaw some ribs or munch some bacon

AdLib : My heart just stopped for a brief second when I looked at Today in Bacon.

PatsyT : What so you do first drink the beer or bite the bacon?

Blues Tiger : I only eat bacon once or twice a year if I amlucky

AdLib : Bacon has a way of sliding around.

Blues Tiger : Dang all that looks great

PatsyT : Wow that Bacon Beer Mug gets around !

AdLib : My favorite medium is bacon. I have some drippings I could show you that are totally Jackson Pollock.

PatsyT : «link»

Blues Tiger : A True Bacon atist

AdLib : I’m surprised KFC hasn’t added it to the menu.

AdLib : Here it is… «link»

Blues Tiger : Nope

PatsyT : Has anyone seen the Bacon Beer Mug ?

AdLib : SOunds good, have a great weekend TIAP!

Blues Tiger : Nice meeting you TIAP hurry back

TakeInAPlay : See you next Friday or on the blogs.

PatsyT : TIAP Thanks It’s been a pleasure !

AdLib : Great having you here, TakeInAPlay, wonderful to have you on The Planet!

Blues Tiger : Even better TIAP

TakeInAPlay : Chocolate dipped bacon..on a stick.

Blues Tiger : Helloooooooooo choicelady

TakeInAPlay : Well, it’s been great chatting with y’all but I must go. Thanks for welcoming me into the fold.

Blues Tiger : Chocolate dipped Bacon!!!

AdLib : Mmm…chocolate doobies…y-a-r- g-h…

PatsyT : How can they sell enough Cheetos with all that smog?

Blues Tiger : I am all for chocolate

TakeInAPlay : Or increase your enjoyment of chocolate, chocolate chip ice cream…or any food for that matter.

AdLib : Yes BT but smog doesn’t enhance your listening pleasure of Dark Side of the Moon.

TakeInAPlay : Ad – ROFL!!!

Blues Tiger : We get enough of Dallas’s smog thank you very much

AdLib : TIAP – Well, first we have to admit we inhale…

AdLib : TIAP – Indeed, if 1.4 billion could go to schools, imagine the difference.

PatsyT : Hmmm more Tax $$$ less to care for in the prisons save some $$ there What is not to love about that?

TakeInAPlay : Well, when we exhale the smoke it does travel over state lines….

Blues Tiger : Just think when the feds figure out a way to tax your smoke Okla can get more of your tax dollars

TakeInAPlay : I consider 3 strikes as harmful as term limits. But that’s a whole other topic.

TakeInAPlay : Ad imagine what the state could do with that kind of revenue? It’s overwhelming what good it could do.

AdLib : Patsy – Yes, the Prison Industrial Complex is very powerful and helped push the 3 Strikes law for its own profit.

Blues Tiger : Think about TIAP, no one ever indroduced a 3 strikes bill untill after Big Corp involved themselves in Prisons

PatsyT : Hey those inmates that escaped recently weren’t they from a private prison ?

TakeInAPlay : BT good point. Our history with outsourcing has not been positive or productive.

Blues Tiger : We are opening a “Christian Based” Private Prison here

AdLib : TIAP – From Wikipedia: The California legislature has estimated that taxing the previously untaxed domestically grown $14 billion marijuana market would produce $1.4 billion a year,

Blues Tiger : PT when we allowed prisons to go Private thats when they started sending everybody up

PatsyT : AdLib isn’t the Prison Union in Ca Ultra Powerful ? They want more inmates

TakeInAPlay : AdLib – exactly my point. It would help the overcrowding in prisons and imagine how great it would be for marijuana taxes to fund schools and health care programs. It just makes sense to me.

AdLib : And law enforcement time and resources spent on busting pot dealers and farms could go to meth dealers.

Blues Tiger : I never imagined as a teenage in the 70′s we would be dealing with Pot issues in 2010

PatsyT : TIAP ROTFL !

AdLib : TIAP – To be serious, the amount of money spent on prison incarceration and the court system related to marijuana is massive, indeed, that money could be directed to more violent and dangerous criminals.

TakeInAPlay : PT, he’s boppin it to the man!

Blues Tiger : Andrew Rice in particular

Blues Tiger : We have a few I support

PatsyT : YOu go Judge !

AdLib : BT – The problem is that in a red state like OK, it’s a challenge for Dems to be willing to take the risk of investing in running for a major office, knowing they’re likely to lose. SO only those who don’t have other choices are mopre likely to run, weaker candidates and such.

TakeInAPlay : Yes, he did an around the state and back snap.

PatsyT : BT LOL !

Blues Tiger : running away

TakeInAPlay : AdLib we could also steer the drug money to fight meth, which is where the real drug danger is. Not the backyard potfarm.

Blues Tiger : So did the judge give a “snap” with his ruling?

PatsyT : Bt you are in the middle of it … Have you thought of running?

PatsyT : TIAP So Funny !!

Blues Tiger : yep

AdLib : TIAP – Think of the jumpstart to the economy legalizing marijuana would provide. Aside from being taxed and providing billions in state revenue, the fast food and pizza delivery business would skyrocket, 24 hour supermarkets would expand everywhere and Ben and Jerry’s would become the official state food of CA, providing sponsorship money to the state!

PatsyT : BT by around here do you mean OK?

TakeInAPlay : We didn’t know about his gayness under the DADT policy.
