Sarah Palin is in Tempe, Arizona today, campaigning with McCain. Haven’t been able to find if Harry Mitchell is still sitting on the fence about HCR tomorrow. » Posted By javaz On March 20, 2010 @ 11:54 am I did see that, but Rasmussen isn’t exactly the best polling place. I predict McCain wins the GOP primary, and I just hope that we can get a viable Democrat to get that old creepy POS out of office. 😆 » Posted By javaz On March 19, 2010 @ 6:23 pm Cher, I saw that, and it just made me sick. Argh – can’t wait for pirate day – but gosh, I am really starting to actually hate the GOP. I try very hard in my life not to hate anyone, because it’s not healthy and it’s bad karma, but the Republican Party thoroughly disgusts me and I find them abhorrent. » Posted By javaz On March 19, 2010 @ 6:20 pm I saw the headline on Yahoo, but assumed it was a video so didn’t bother clicking on it. I really like that of all people, Cheech beat him out! Anderson Cooper is a tool, too. And I agree with you about comedians. Craig Ferguson is self-taught, and he’s really smart and sharp. » Posted By javaz On March 19, 2010 @ 6:18 pm B’ito, did you also see the article on thinkprogress whereby some Republican admitted that invading Iraq was wrong? It was also a story on raw story, too. Idiots. But the Democrats are to blame, too, for going along with it because they were afraid that they’d be called traitors and weak on terror or whatever, and then look what happened, they were called that anyway. They should have listened to Senator Byrd! » Posted By javaz On March 19, 2010 @ 6:16 pm I’ve got a sad bunny story from this morning. We are rural and people drive like freaking maniacs on dirt roads because I guess they think there are no speed limits up here, or families with children. It’s not unusual to see dead birds, rabbits, snakes, an occasional javelina, and one time a coyote and one other time a deer in the road. This morning as we were walking, we saw a dead rabbit with a baby rabbit crouched down by the body in the middle of the road. That was just the saddest thing because we concluded that the bigger rabbit was its mommy. Luckily, the baby wasn’t small, and looked big enough to be on its own, but still. Anyway, my husband picked the dead bunny up and placed it in the brush at the side of the road so the baby wouldn’t be hit by some freaking maniacal driver. Isn’t that sad? We’ve never seen anything like that before. » Posted By javaz On March 19, 2010 @ 6:12 pm Oh, b’ito, we can only hope! Then again, now dr’graz has some competition! 😉 » Posted By javaz On March 19, 2010 @ 3:29 pm Hey Kes, enjoy your weekend! I was thinking something along the lines of a toasted wiener or smoked sausage! 😆 » Posted By javaz On March 19, 2010 @ 12:49 pm Sheriff Joe update : A racial-profiling lawsuit against Sheriff Joe Arpaio’s office was extended with new deadlines Friday. A federal judge laid out an updated timeline following the revelation of thousands of additional records could exist for the Sheriff Joe Arpaio’s office to turn over. U.S. District Judge G. Murray Snow has previously agreed to sanctions against Arpaio’s office for records the agency failed to preserve or destroyed that could be related to the lawsuit, and he said additional sanctions could be warranted, but county technology officials must first turn over thousands of e-mails to the Maricopa County Sheriff’s Office and attorneys for the plaintiffs must review them. Snow set a new hearing date for July 16, and also encouraged the two sides to consider talking about some sort of settlement in the meantime. “It does seem to me that at least there is a possible grounds for settlement here that could avoid huge expense,” Snow told the attorneys. The plaintiffs in the case have accused Sheriff’s deputies of targeting Hispanic residents for selective enforcement. David Bodney, an attorney representing the plaintiffs who also represents The Arizona Republic in unrelated matters, said his side isn’t asking for any money and only wants the Sheriff’s Office to ensure no racial profiling takes place during the course of law-enforcement duties, some of which include Arpaio’s controversial crime-suppression operations. “It’s the kind of case that should be settled,” Bodney said. “Some variation on the ‘best practices’ theme would go a long way toward reducing the risk of racial profiling.” Arpaio’s office has always contended that deputies do not target suspects based on ethnicity. Tim Casey, an attorney for the Sheriff’s Office, declined to comment after the hearing. The other lingering issue in Snow’s courtroom on Friday involved thousands of e-mails Maricopa County’s technology office was archiving without the knowledge of the Sheriff’s Office. In past hearings and depositions about the records sheriff’s officials deleted or destroyed- including “stat sheets” from the crime suppression operations- the Sheriff’s Office has contended that only select e-mails and documents were preserved after the case was filed in December 2007, with most coming after the plaintiff’s attorneys made an issue of missing documents last summer. But earlier this month, county administrators revealed they had been archiving all emails sent from Sheriff’s Office since 2008 following an order from another county attorney related to a separate lawsuit County Treasurer Charles “Hos” Hoskins filed against Maricopa County. That news caught the Sheriff’s Office by surprise. Snow on Friday declined a request to bar anyone but the Sheriff’s Office from looking at the recently discovered trove of records. A Pima County judge last week ruled that the records were the property of Maricopa County and not the Sheriff’s Office. The federal government has also issued a subpoena for those records in an unrelated case. Snow said he will allow Casey to file a motion asking county officials to show why the existence of those e-mails wasn’t made clear to the Sheriff’s Officials before this month. Casey has said that confusion among deputies over which stat sheets to retain and a lack of communication about keeping e-mails led to the lost and destroyed documents. Attorneys for the plaintiffs claim the material would show the Sheriff’s Office engaged in selective enforcement during the crime-suppression operations. In February, Snow sanctioned the Sheriff’s Office for destroying evidence in the case. » Posted By javaz On March 19, 2010 @ 12:48 pm Hah, B’ito! Very funny! » Posted By javaz On March 19, 2010 @ 12:34 pm Here’s something somewhat related – CBS and NBC give GOP free advertising : The cash-strapped GOP has been enjoying a bit of free publicity over the last few days. A March Madness-themed ad slamming the healthcare bill was recently featured on both “The Today Show” and the “CBS Evening News.” Now, free airtime for political ads is not exactly new in the age of the 24-hour news cycle, but this case has an odd twist. On “The Today Show,” coverage of the ad tells us: “Republicans rolled out a new TV spot attacking what » Posted By javaz On March 18, 2010 @ 6:06 pm Hey B’ito, it’s like we discussed earlier about the hypocrisy and double standards. Had a funny thing happen today. They were really happy and bubbling over because they were buying a house, and they mentioned the $6500 tax credit and said thank you Obama and then they realized they said that a bit loud. I smiled and said that I like Obama, too, and then we started talking about HCR and they are all for it and razzed on the Republicans for saying no to everything and how they don’t care about regular people. There was an older white guy sitting adjacent with his arms crossed and a scowl on his face and at one point he leaned over towards me and shouted – “It takes all kinds”! I have no idea what he meant, but the younger couple and I had a good laugh! Then I thought of the difference between us – here were 3 of us smiling and happy and one mean, old, angry grouch that I’m fairly certain is a Republican Fox-sheepie! 😆 » Posted By javaz On March 18, 2010 @ 5:49 pm That’s very funny and kind of creepy at the same time! » Posted By javaz On March 18, 2010 @ 1:10 pm Hilarious article from yahoo about the Tea Party tensions with the GOP – Ted Schendel, 53, a semi-retired police officer and a Tea Party Republican, is running against “four millionaires” to be the Republican candidate for the 2nd district of Michigan. “Just before Christmas I was watching Glenn Beck when I realized that Glenn alone cannot take our country back,” he said, speaking at the Manistee Tea party meeting. “So instead of just shouting at the TV, I decided to run for office.” “I’m not stupid, I know I’ve got one almighty mountain to climb,” he said. “The only way I can do it is if I can get the common man behind me.” http://news.yahoo.com/s/nm/20100318/pl_nm/us_usa_politics_teaparty » Posted By javaz On March 18, 2010 @ 10:44 am The op/ed by Margolies is very good and I wish we had more elected officials like her. I thought the Republicans treated Clinton horribly, but I do believe that they are even worse toward Obama. The GOP, with the help of Fox, are out of control. » Posted By javaz On March 18, 2010 @ 9:21 am Good morning, b’ito! It’s obvious that the Republicans want Obama to fail at all and any costs. I wonder if Americans will ever wake up. » Posted By javaz On March 18, 2010 @ 8:54 am Is it haggis? ARGH, matey, not the dish for me. Then again, my mother grew up on a farm and she liked head cheese, and it wasn’t cheese but the brains of slaughtered animals. And funny thing about that, was that my mom told stories of how they never let a thing go to waste on the farm, and my grandmother ate what there was of chicken feet and YUCK, even ate their eyes. Now, my grandparents lived to be old, well into their 80’s, and my parents who never drank and never smoked, didn’t live to see 70. Sheesh. I need to start drinking green beer now, since my husband is home, and he has a nightmare story about the spring training game today. It was sold out and they all had to pee badly, but had to sit in traffic and didn’t get into the game until the 2nd inning, and they left at 11:30 for a 1:00 game. Glad I stayed home for this one, and I am signing off for the night and wish you all a very good night and Happy St. Patrick’s Day. » Posted By javaz On March 17, 2010 @ 6:10 pm Did Obama hold his own, b’ito? Put them in their place? » Posted By javaz On March 17, 2010 @ 6:06 pm To Nellie, if you’re still interested, but here’s what my husband says he’s going to research and try to do so that we can get the Internet without using the phone lines – Buy Mediacom and drop the land line and go with cell phones, and we’re not going to buy cable TV but simply do the Mediacom for the Net. I have no idea. » Posted By javaz On March 17, 2010 @ 6:05 pm Did ya know, aye, that corned beef and cabbage is not normal Irish fare? Nay, ’tis not, but rather Shepherd’s Pie with lamb is part of it, aye, and then sausages and boiled potatoes? Aye, and I canna wait till Pirates Day when the ayes turn into ARGH. » Posted By javaz On March 17, 2010 @ 5:52 pm I learned today, Khirad, that Caledonia is a Scots song, but Celtic Woman are lovely, aren’t they? » Posted By javaz On March 17, 2010 @ 5:33 pm We do have a cell, but the phone itself cost 7 bucks and is the bare minimum from a clearance rack. We do that pay as you go type deal for service – you know, we pay 20 bucks for 60 minutes and that lasts us months because we only use the cell for emergencies. I think the thing that my husband is talking about is going to change that, and when he comes home I’ll ask him to explain to me, again, before he starts imbibing and doing the Irish jigs! LOL » Posted By javaz On March 17, 2010 @ 5:00 pm Am I the only person on the Planet POV celebrating St. Patrick’s Day? I know there’s lots of very serious stuff going, but am I the only person on PPOV wearing green with green beads, and have corned beef in the crock-pot since very early this morning, and have potatoes, carrots and cabbage boiling? ‘Tis the day we are all Irish and ya don’na even hafta be a Catholic! Heard ’tis mornin’, aye, that the largest Irish population of the Americas is nay in Boston, but in Montreal! I’ve always loved St. Patrick’s Day, and I don’t know why but maybe it’s because it means the beginnings of spring? Plus, it’s a fun day to party! » Posted By javaz On March 17, 2010 @ 4:42 pm I will definitely let you know. My goodness, we could actually venture further into the 21st century having faster Internet! 😆 The only thing that I worry about when canceling our landlines, is what happens if you need to call 9-11 in an emergency? How will they know, if we are unable to give our address, how will they know where we live? » Posted By javaz On March 17, 2010 @ 4:17 pm Who needs an excuse? Hey, my husband thinks he’s found a way that we can do a faster thing not using dial-up or phone lines. I don’t understand what the heck he’s talking about, but he said we can cancel our substandard phone service and buy something else and then attach something to our computer or some such thing. And it would only be 6 dollars more per month than we pay now for our phone. He’s at a D-back spring training game today but he said he’s going to look into doing this. I so hope he can do this thing because I would love to watch the youtubes, especially on Friday nights! » Posted By javaz On March 17, 2010 @ 4:01 pm Two of me favorite Irish groups – Celtic Thunder – Ireland’s Call – https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YY1_qlTr-rM Celtic Woman – Caledonia –

Do you mean you haven’t been able to flush since yesterday? » Posted By javaz On March 16, 2010 @ 3:20 pm Murdoch in Egypt is not going over well – CAIRO — The tie-up between Arab entertainment giant Rotana and pro-Israel media mogul Rupert Murdoch is viewed in Egypt not only with suspicion but as signalling the decline of Arab film and art heritage. In a country where film and television attract some of the largest audiences across the Arab world, the tycoon’s foray into the Middle East is widely seen in cultural circles as a ruse to benefit Israel. Murdoch’s News Corp last month acquired a 9.09-percent holding in the Rotana Group of Saudi royal and business tycoon Prince Alwaleed bin Talal, with an 18-month option to double the stake. Rotana is one of the largest film producers in Egypt and also owns the rights to hundreds of Egyptian motion pictures. In Egypt, which signed a 1979 peace treaty with Israel but has resisted a warming of cultural ties, there has been wide suspicion that the tie-up with Rotana is part of a Murdoch scheme to thaw frosty Arab views of Israel. http://rawstory.com/2010/03/suspicion-murdoch-foray-egypt/ » Posted By javaz On March 16, 2010 @ 12:50 pmComments Posted By javaz
It’s a fundraiser, yet I wonder if McCain is paying her speaking fee?
Nice guy, but a tool of the corporate media.
Ran up to the bank and while waiting for a notary, a young couple sat next to me.
The Republicans only care about elections and having power.
They care nothing about America or Americans.
They truly are vicious traitors.
Yet, people still vote for them.
Now that is just wrong, but think it’s a Scottish thing using sheep stomach?
