Displaying 871 To 900 Of 4,429 Comments Nothing surprises me about the ‘unfair and unbalanced’ station nor does discovering that Sister Sarah is a fake media hound. » Posted By javaz On March 31, 2010 @ 2:39 pm Question for Sister Sarah – “How’s that fiscally conservatively thingy working out for Alaska?” Sarah Palin has long sold herself as a fiscal conservative, arguing against the Democrats’ health overhaul on the grounds that the nation simply can’t afford it. But when the former vice presidential candidate resigned as governor of Alaska in the summer of 2009, she left the state with a 70 percent debt-to-GDP ratio — the highest state debt burden in the United States. That’s according to data compiled by the Washington Independent’s Megan Carpentier, who notes that Alaska has a debt burden similar to “that of Jordan and Palin’s favorite health care resource, Canada, and a higher ratio than Ghana, Cote d’Ivoire, India, the Philippines or Uruguay.” By comparison, crisis-stricken California has a debt ratio of less than 40 percent. All the more confounding about Alaska’s debt is the fact that it is an oil-producing region with a small population to share in that wealth. Oil-rich Alberta, Canada, for example, collects no sales tax and still managed to retire its debt entirely in 2004. While Alaska’s massive debt burden can’t be blamed entirely on Palin’s two-and-a-half-year stint as governor, she did face similar debt problems while mayor of Wasilla, and those appear to be of her own making. http://rawstory.com/rs/2010/0331/postpalin-alaska-largest-debt-burden/ » Posted By javaz On March 31, 2010 @ 2:37 pm Hey b’ito! I can answer what the heck that crap is – It’s FOX owning the GOP and Sarah Palin is their darling media super star! Just ask McCain! I’m curious if Welch will do the right thing and speak out since he spoke against the Republicans voting no on HCR. Then again, Welch is a typical greedy man without a conscience or soul, so his “interview” with Sarah might be a good thing for him, as long as they pay him for it! » Posted By javaz On March 31, 2010 @ 2:30 pm Freaking funny, Khirad! Thanks for the laugh! » Posted By javaz On March 31, 2010 @ 1:53 pm Thanks, Sue! I’ll be downing that in another 2 hours – fun times await! It’s not called Go-Litely but is PED 3350 & Electrolytes – which could be a different name for the solution. Am drinking plenty of water and apple juice and my husband is being very kind by not eating in front of me! » Posted By javaz On March 31, 2010 @ 1:48 pm Levi Johnson competing with Sister Sarah for an Alaskan Reality TV Show? (cue Dueling Banjos) http://andrewsullivan.theatlantic.com/the_daily_dish/2010/03/levi-is-shopping-a-show.html#more » Posted By javaz On March 31, 2010 @ 12:25 pm Nellie, do you remember the loopholes from the Clinton Administration that Oil Companies use to get out of paying taxes for drilling off-shore and not paying the US for the oil they pump? Have you heard anything at all about the Obama Administration closing that loophole and going after the Oil Companies for past due taxes and paying us for the oil they pump? The Republicans will fight tooth and nail against any regulations on Big Oil, but this needs to be fixed! » Posted By javaz On March 31, 2010 @ 11:57 am You think the choice between McCain and Hayworth is bad? Just imagine Russell Pearce replacing Sheriff Joe! There’s been a whiff of brimstone in the air with the rumor that state Senator Russell Pearce, the most bigoted public servant in Arizona (and that’s saying a lot), has been actively lobbying Maricopa County to become its replacement sheriff, should Arpaio run for governor, keel over, or be indicted and removed from office, whichever comes first. Over at the Maricopa County Board of Supervisors, which would appoint a replacement for Arpaio should he no longer be able to serve, spokeswoman Cari Gerchick said she knew of no such effort from Pearce. The rumors have it that there’s been a letter from Pearce to the BOS. Gerchick said there’s no letter to her knowledge. Adding a little fuel to the speculation was a report on Monday’s CBS 5 newscast that Pearce would be delighted to have Joe’s job should it ever become available. “Would I consider it? Absolutely,” Pearce told CBS 5 when asked. “I love those folks. I love law enforcement. Public safety is my number one issue, always has been. “I clearly have a love for law enforcement, and it would be a serious consideration if something happened there.” Actually, it’s not news that Pearce craves the post of sheriff. When Arpaio first ran back in 1992, he vowed to serve only one term. Many assumed that his Chief Deputy Russell Pearce was his heir apparent. That’s right, Russell Pearce used to be Arpaio’s David Hendershott, before Hendershott filled that role so amply. In fact, Pearce is usually credited with coming up with the idea of using surplus tents to create Tent City. http://blogs.phoenixnewtimes.com/bastard/2010/03/russell_pearce_for_sheriff_yes.php Arizona is desperately trying to lure businesses by offering the lowest tax rates in the country, yet what sort of business would want to relocate to a state that’s going backwards fast to the 1950’s? And speaking of warped – gun legislation that no longer requires background checks? » Posted By javaz On March 31, 2010 @ 11:43 am Thanks for the encouragement, Boomer! Friday cannot get here fast enough! » Posted By javaz On March 31, 2010 @ 10:40 am Thanks kes! Hoping nothing ends up on youtube or it could be an interesting Friday! LOL » Posted By javaz On March 31, 2010 @ 10:14 am Hope to see you later, b’ito. » Posted By javaz On March 31, 2010 @ 10:12 am You are mean and yeah, it’s a gallon jug! 😆 » Posted By javaz On March 31, 2010 @ 10:04 am I suppose the day is appropriate – April Fools Day – or for the French – Poisson d’Avril! » Posted By javaz On March 31, 2010 @ 9:56 am Knock on wood, but I’ve never been in a hospital, never wore a hospital gown and never had an IV and I know compared to people who are actually hospitalized this is nothing, but it’s freaking me out! I will be so glad when it’s Friday! » Posted By javaz On March 31, 2010 @ 9:52 am I’ve got a ‘procedure’ tomorrow and am dreading it. Today is the big cleanse day and fasting and then tomorrow is the ‘procedure’ after which is recovery in the ‘gas’ chamber – ha-ha. I’m freaking out, silly I know, especially after that CBS fellow had his done live on the tee-vee. I’m worried about everything, including the anesthesia – am hoping I don’t say or shout anything regrettable! 😆 » Posted By javaz On March 31, 2010 @ 9:41 am Hi b’ito, BT, kes and everyone! Wouldn’t you think people who can afford to go out of state for a divorce will do that? I think Reno still does the quickie divorce. » Posted By javaz On March 31, 2010 @ 9:31 am I know, Khirad! » Posted By javaz On March 30, 2010 @ 5:03 pm I agree that Child Protection Services should be called on the parents but it doesn’t appear to happen and this is not the first time something like this has occurred. Years ago, my husband and I lived in a different area of Phoenix and we used to walk through an outdoor strip mall at times. There was a video rental store in that strip and one time when we were walking by a woman pulled up to the curb, jumped out of her SUV to run into the store, and she not only left her vehicle running with 2 children in the backseat, but she left the door open! People are idiots! 😆 » Posted By javaz On March 30, 2010 @ 4:37 pm This is one of those – what were they thinking stories – Just before 5 a.m., the parents of the children parked at a 7-Eleven gas station around 24th Street and McDowell Road to get juice and snacks for their children. They left their children and the keys in the 2006 white Ford Escape A man jumped in the Escape and took off, Holmes said. http://www.azcentral.com/news/articles/2010/03/30/20100330phoenix-carjacking-kids-in-car.html The kids in the SUV were found safe after the carjacker dropped them off in a neighborhood and told the oldest child – 6 years old – to go to one of the houses and knock on the door. Year ago, Ann Landers wrote a piece of advice for parents about children being our most valuable treasures. She recommended that parents regard their child as a million dollars and then ask themselves if they would leave a million dollars out in the open in a running car, or out in front of the house. Very sage advice, imho. » Posted By javaz On March 30, 2010 @ 3:23 pm Hi B’ito! I don’t know the answer, but one of my favorite television shows – Boston Legal – did a show about that very thing and the court on the show ruled that the person who supplied the DNA and genetic material were no longer the owners once they gave them to the clinical study group. I know, it’s a television show, but it did seem to utilize attorneys and judges for guidance on laws. » Posted By javaz On March 30, 2010 @ 3:18 pm Get lots of rest and stay warm, and don’t forget to eat them sweet potatoes and ice cream and whatever else hits your fancy. Praying harder than ever for you and sending positive thoughts and positive energy your way. » Posted By javaz On March 29, 2010 @ 4:52 pm NO! I like Michael Steele and we’ve talked about this before, in how he manipulates. I seriously wonder about his motives because he gets away with so much and he knows the GOP are afraid of him. He does have them over a barrel and I just wonder at times if he’s getting back at them by doing the outrageous things that he does. He’s a player and he’s hurting them, and that’s why I like him! Is that hypocritical of me? » Posted By javaz On March 29, 2010 @ 4:48 pm B’ito, how long does it take for the infusions? And if you don’t mind me asking and you don’t have to answer, but how long before the side effects set in? When my husband had that thing similar going on but he could do the shots and drugs from home, except for the Procrit, but the side effects were almost immediate. I send you the best, my friend, and am praying for you and once again, if there’s anything we can do, let us know. » Posted By javaz On March 29, 2010 @ 4:30 pm LOL! Thanks Nellie! » Posted By javaz On March 29, 2010 @ 4:20 pm We know several gay people and we know of several heartbreaking stories of families disowning sons or children disowning a parent. It is so sad. » Posted By javaz On March 29, 2010 @ 4:18 pm No, that’s his leg covered in hair! LOL But the kitty is cute – we used to have one that looked exactly like that, that was a stray that adopted us when he was a kitten. I miss my cats but not the hair, fur balls or litter box! » Posted By javaz On March 29, 2010 @ 4:15 pm Doesn’t it look like Big Foot, except there’s no hair on the foot? It looks like he’s wearing hair pants! LOL I wish that I knew how to capture that shot and post here as I think it is hilarious. » Posted By javaz On March 29, 2010 @ 4:13 pm I know it, plus didn’t they eliminate background checks, b’ito? Are you home now or still at the CC? » Posted By javaz On March 29, 2010 @ 4:12 pm I have to post this again for Kalima – Scroll to the end of the article and check out the cute tabby but then notice the foot and the hair on the guy’s leg. I bet that guy has more hair on that leg than that cat has on its entire body and it’s almost the same color! http://mediamatters.org/blog/201003290048 Wonder if that guy sheds? And can you imagine his back? 😆 » Posted By javaz On March 29, 2010 @ 4:05 pm How sad is it that people are afraid to be who they are? I joke about it, but it’s actually very sad. » Posted By javaz On March 29, 2010 @ 3:57 pmComments Posted By javaz
So, our wonderful pro-gun Republican Governor and Legislature have no problem selling guns to convicted felons?
I saw that story earlier and found it hilarious.
What a moron but he is subbing on Fox!
My husband and I were appalled and we stood there and watched her vehicle until she came back out and we didn’t say anything, but we wanted to!
. The small SUV was still running.
