It sounds so simple and easy and that’s probably why it met so much resistance. No surprise Dodd didn’t like it. 2.)Delta is a terrible airline. Please GOD let them leave. Go suck some other countries money away. 3.)”And when you pray, do not be like the hypocrites, for they love to pray standing in the synagogues and on the street corners to be seen by men. I tell you the truth, they have received their reward in full.” (Matthew 6:5) And there most certainly is 2 sides to the First Amendment. While you are being protected from the machinations of one religion or another, they are also protected from you. A prayer rally is not an affront to democracy. It is a living symbol of what makes this country so great. The Bible may have prohibitions against public prayer but we do not. If a politician wants to wear his religion on his sleeve we have no grounds to challenge it. 4.)Can’t wait for the next Tea Party rally. The great speakers, the tens of people in the crowd. Hey, American Dream Movement. Aim higher than the Tea PArty. 5.)”… to the last I grapple with thee; from hell’s heart I stab at thee; for hate’s sake I spit my last breath at thee.” —Moby-Dick, Ch. 135 » Posted By ADONAI On August 11, 2011 @ 1:42 pm Indeed Em. Any British band that has enjoyed success here in the 60’s and 70’s owes The Beatles for paving the way and making America a British market. And you’re welcome for the nostalgia! Honestly I just wanted to write a piece about the Beatles that would totally piss off KT 🙂 but I started lik9ng them the more I read about them. Their early years and late experimental phase. Great music came from that period. » Posted By ADONAI On August 27, 2011 @ 12:56 pm Em, I can’t argue your points. They were god like. After they left America the first time they were beyond superstar status. I left out a story about them meeting Elvis around the time Rubber Soul came out. People were actually wondering who the bigger star was at this point. And they certainly changed music at the time. In a decade of copycats and safe bets they actually experimented with their sound far more than most. And I honestly feel the White Album is one of the best recordings ever made. » Posted By ADONAI On August 27, 2011 @ 12:31 pm Oasis never came to mind my friend. Even I know better than that! Ringo and Best are just trimming. The band always was that trio up front. Epstein wanted full control of this band and Best was proving difficult to control. Since no one felt he was a world class drummer, they dumped him. Ringo already had a semi-working relationship with Epstein and could follow orders so in he went. » Posted By ADONAI On August 27, 2011 @ 12:28 pm KT, I love the pre-America Beatles. So many great stories. They would have fit right in to the late 70’s punk scene in Britain. And reading their backstory did give me more appreciation of what they did and what they became. They did what they had to do to become what they wanted to be. I can respect that. » Posted By ADONAI On August 27, 2011 @ 12:25 pm This Is How It Ends: Supervolcano Em, it’s funny you mention 2012. I’ll be tackling that nonsense in a future installment as well. And yes, the current rumblings in Yellowstone are worrying more than a few people. It’s the most active it’s been in thousands of years. One side says it’s possible but not likely that it will erupt, and the other side thinks it is inevitable. So, basically, both sides can see it happening, but one side is kinda thinking maybe it won’t. That doesn’t sound reassuring! » Posted By ADONAI On August 28, 2011 @ 12:54 pm KT, I remember that commercial. Vaguely, but I recognize that tagline. And that is the crazy thing. Mt. St. Helens has the potential to be quite ferocious but it’s a baby compared to some of the monsters lurking out there. » Posted By ADONAI On August 28, 2011 @ 12:33 pm Thanks Caru. I try to provide the best quips. 🙂 » Posted By ADONAI On August 28, 2011 @ 12:31 pm That is a very real concern choice. If humanity is sufficiently crippled then any cult or religious zealotry movement could easily take control and build their own world out of the ashes. That’s the thing about global catastrophes few people ever really get into. The aftermath. How civilization will change and how certain folk might want to take advantage of that. » Posted By ADONAI On August 28, 2011 @ 12:30 pm Lemme get out my reading glasses here… Don’t really have any comments. This issue was a learning experience. Good stuff Cher. » Posted By ADONAI On August 10, 2011 @ 4:06 pm Do telemarketers have a union? If so, let’s sacrifice them to the republicans and be done with it. No one will miss them. » Posted By ADONAI On August 10, 2011 @ 8:17 pm HOORAY!!!!! » Posted By ADONAI On August 10, 2011 @ 7:52 pm ……..k » Posted By ADONAI On August 10, 2011 @ 7:51 pm 6? » Posted By ADONAI On August 10, 2011 @ 7:47 pm No disrespect to the people of Wisconsin but it’s a big job. There were many, many things weighing heavily on his mind when that head hit the pillow last night. It’s a state issue. Settle it. Stop asking daddy to step in. » Posted By ADONAI On August 10, 2011 @ 7:17 pm I don’t think this is over either. Democrats didn’t lose last night, Republicans barely survived. Democrats had nothing to lose politically. This was a challenge to Republican rule and they barely held on. I know Democrats made ground cause here we are barely 24 hours later and Republicans wanna change the rules for recall elections. Those are the actions of a coward. And I wanna say to Ed Schultz, good job, BUT how about instead of Obama walking into a local hospital for a photo-op, the people of Wisconsin just keep fighting to determine their future. Power to the people. » Posted By ADONAI On August 10, 2011 @ 7:07 pm Correction: Hillary Was Never a Progressive, but Johnny Reid Was … KQ, If I had a nickel for every time someone said that to me…. » Posted By ADONAI On August 10, 2011 @ 3:34 pm It does appear that way AL. And this is the good thing about being misinformed on a message board. Someone is there to set you straight. » Posted By ADONAI On August 10, 2011 @ 3:32 pm Hmmm, she’s not. In fact, it appears they’re almost fucking identical. Mea culpa. » Posted By ADONAI On August 10, 2011 @ 3:13 pm They were all choices KQ. You are correct. Choices WE made. Cause and effect. It controls everything. Skipping straight to the President does not follow cause and effect. When FDR took office the country was in the midst of an actual depression, Europe was fracturing, and we all know what that led to. Kennedy came into a recession as well. The economy wasn’t moving. The Cold War was at it;s highest as well ans everyday he dealt with the threat of the EXTINCTION OF THE HUMAN RACE! So, let’s have some perspective. » Posted By ADONAI On August 10, 2011 @ 3:09 pm No it sucked for some of us KQ. If it sucked for everybody then something would be done. As long as enough people are satisfied, the rest will get a raw deal. » Posted By ADONAI On August 10, 2011 @ 2:58 pm HOORAY!!!!!! » Posted By ADONAI On August 10, 2011 @ 2:56 pm Obviously I don’t. I was wondering that myself. Remember about a week ago when he just got real candid at a press conference and just flat out called the Republicans on their bullshit? Where does that go? Why does he save that for the very last moment? He signed that damn debt ceiling deal in private. No TV cameras, no smiling politicians. Because he was just as disappointed in it as I am. I am not blaming President Obama for anything. Like I don’t blame Bush for the last decade. I’d like to see Obama be more forceful. It’s just my opinion. That’s all. Just a critique. That’s it. I;m not assailing the Presidency. » Posted By ADONAI On August 10, 2011 @ 2:56 pm I don’t wish she was President. I got over that years ago. I’m just wondering what he word Progressive means anymore. Hillary Clinton proposed the most Progressive health care plan I’ve yet to see. Real universal health care. She’s been a staunch supporter of stem cell research from day one. Obama has wavered. Neither of them will openly support gay marriage so I’ll giver ya that one. She has been more progressive on global warming and environmental issues. And I’d have to look others up but that’s off the top of my head. But I’m just starting a pissing contest and that’s not the way I should have went. I enjoy both of them and I think either was a good choice. » Posted By ADONAI On August 10, 2011 @ 2:49 pm For me? Not too bad. Not too good. For Bush? Fantastic. And since Obama supposedly wants to help us, maybe cowboy up and get what you want to. » Posted By ADONAI On August 10, 2011 @ 2:38 pm Revenue increases? I just said a plan to raise the debt ceiling. You know, save us 6 months of utter bullshit. Democrats got time to work and they still got no revenue increases so who was talking about that? AND, if Harry Reid is running the show, I’ll keep handing out bitch points. Come on Mr. President. You think you’re the first one to deal with a hostile Congress? Cowboy up sir. » Posted By ADONAI On August 10, 2011 @ 2:33 pm Shit. She was more Progressive than the guy in office right now. And if Obama HAD a plan to deal with the debt ceiling and he let Harry Reid put the kibosh on it, then yes, I do very much blame the President. Thought he was the leader of the Party. Not a bitch with “cute ideas”. I don’t think anyone wanted the argument then. Certainly didn’t see any indication of that in the article you linked. But let’s be clear. I’m criticizing President Obama. Not blaming him. That’s ridiculous. If that’s a problem then I suggest people develop thicker skin. “In this age dominated by incessant celebrity status…” How do you think Obama got this job? Wasn’t his record or his experience. His current record will help him keep this job, and rightfully so, but it sure as shit didn’t win it for him. » Posted By ADONAI On August 10, 2011 @ 2:20 pm Don’t worry jkk, the hooch is safe! And you don’t really move stills anyway. They’re so easy to put together that you can just junk it and move on! » Posted By ADONAI On August 9, 2011 @ 2:38 pm http://instantrimshot.com/classic/?sound=rimshot » Posted By ADONAI On August 9, 2011 @ 2:35 pm Meh. I’m over it now. But I do love my state. You wanna call Ohio a bunch of idiots? Fine. I agree. But you leave Kentucky out of this! Plus it’s a random blog site so you can’t get too mad. It’s pointless. » Posted By ADONAI On August 9, 2011 @ 2:25 pmComments Posted By ADONAI
