RE: The ..2012.... Political thread
For Edwards to be found guilty he has to have known he was breaking the law. But for the rest of us we were always told ignorance of the law is no excuse. He's gonna beat this whole thing by sticking to his story that he didn't know he was breaking the law. With all his money it would have been like pocket change to take care of his mistress with his money but he was too greedy and used other peoples money instead. He used the money from people who believed in him and donated to his campaign. He's the lowest of the low.

RE: ".Sunrise doesn't last all morning."BEATNUT
It's nightmares again for me. Last night and the night before I had nightmares involving Mike. In 1995 my best friend also died of cancer. He was 42 and left behind a lovely wife and two young children. I had trouble dealing with it for a long time. While I "snapped out of it" about eight months later I still had occasional nightmares about him for several years. Waking up in the middle of the night with cold sweats. It's happening again, only this time it's Mike I keep dreaming about. Maybe it's because he's on my mind constantly. But I can't and I don't want t0 stop thinking about him. He was a wonderful man who died way before his time and anyone who has ever met him knows what a great guy he was.

RE: ".Sunrise doesn't last all morning."BEATNUT
I'm still in shock over this tragedy. Mike might very well be the funniest person I've ever known in my life. The man had a heart of gold and would do anything for you. Friends don't get better than that. Right now I'm crying as I type this. He was way too young. He loved life and he loved being around people. If you were happy then he was happy. A bunch of us met in Manhattan in 2002 at a place called the Film Club Cafe @ 9th Ave & 45th St. It was all Mike's idea. We all talk on the board, how about doing a face to face. I remember driving home thinking omg, what a nice bunch of people. So nice, so decent-- all of them. I'm sure many, like myself, was a bit leery at first about meeting people "from the internet". I know I'm gonna forget some names but here's a list of whom I can think of that showed up that autumn Saturday: Lemmie, Clo, Rampaige RN, Keps, myself, Beatnut of course, and friends and spouses. I know I'm forgetting some names because my mind is still in a fog. Later on more of us would meet including Beatlemaniac, LCH, Daisy, Blondie10, Jude, and the three sisters, Denise, Sue and Kim. Denise and Kim just got home from a Liverpool tour only to hear this tragic news. Mike is gone but he will never be forgotten. He kept this board alive and laughing in the early days and if it weren't for him many of never would have met. Enjoy heaven, Mike, until we all meet again.

You need to get over your obsession with Sarah Palin. You sound like you're going off the deep end.

RE: The ..2012.... Political thread
Sally You're quick to pass judgment on others, but the fact of the matter is that Obama's done nothing right since he became president. He made two overseas trips and came back empty handed. He has nothing tro show for those trips. The Russians made him look like an idiot. Which wasn't hard because that's what he is. Explain why we need another stimulus package when the first package has only placed about 10% into the economy. Why would any president put out another spending package when most of the first package hasn't been spent? Now Gibbs is backing off on Obama's promise not to raise taxes on anyone making less than $250,000 a year. I could have told you a year ago that obama would break that promise. Because it's impossible for him to do what he promises to do by just RAISING TAXES ON THE RICH. If he taxed then at 100% and seized all their assets and shot and killed them all it still wouldn't be enough for him to keep his campaign promises. But I don't blame all the Oboma lovers who see him as the second coming of Jesus Christ. I blame the dupes in the media who see him as the second coming of Jesus. btw, great posts Andy and Jaipur.

The_Fool:
(I am not a republican) .... What have the Democrat plans meant to me so far? Due to a direct hand of the Obama administration -- many in my company have been permanently laid off Most in the company are taking voluntary time off with no pay to HOPEfully try and keep our jobs. Neighbors are selling their houses and many small business places are getting rid of their workers or completely closing their business. All a direct hit by the Democrat party -- so forgive me if this hits close to home and I sound bitter -- then I hear of Global warming taxes and other bright ideas that are going to completely wipe out many more people and business places - sorry but there is no rah rah rah coming from me. I cannot even comprehend how some of these ideas happen -- it baffles me how someone can even think the way some in that party thinks. Can anyone explain to me why they want to destroy America?
So what's this you hear about the global warming tax and how it's going to "completely wipe out" so many people and businesses? How is this to happen? How much is this tax to be on the average taxpayer? (On a more historical note, have any of the sources of your information mentioned that environmental regulation in the past has only been a boon for industries, from the railroad to car industry? Have they also mentioned that the ONLY people coming up with these doomsday scenarios are from the handful of completely discredited "think tanks" funded heavily by the most powerful multi-billion dollar corporations?) I ask, because there is a lot if deliberate lying being put out by conservatives, the one that gained the most traction on the global warming tax being by the Heritage Foundation. Their numbers have been shown to be false - look at Fack Check, look at the GAO for crying out loud! You have to start zoning out the endless manipulation of the facts that come from those few think-tanks. Nobody, no scientist, no academic outside the echo chamber believes them.
I'm a Republican, but I don't know how much longer I will stay with them. They are the biggest bunch of wimps in U.S. history. I'll make my decision to stay or quit based on how they vote for the activist Supreme Court nominee Obama is gonna stick us with. She will get the job because the Dems have the majority, but I still want to see how they vote. Obama voted against Roberts. The Republicans should apply the same standards when they vote. Fact Check is bogus. It's part of the Chicago Annenberg Challenge. Obama worked for them with Bill Ayers and his beautiful bride, Bernardine Dohrn. It was the only executive job he held down in his life, until now. Envio laws are job killers. Their main objectives is too take our money. Obama admitted in 2008 that energy costs would skyrocket. He's singing a different song now because he's president. As he tries to turn the U.S. into a quasi-socialist society jobs are being lost. He told us TARP would keep unemployment below 8%. He got his TARP and now it's 9.5% and getting worse. Instead of halting it and trying to reverse the damage he want's to expand it. 9.5% unemployment in Europe is considered average.. In this country it's disastrous. If the energy bill just passed by Congress is such a jobs creator then why is there a provision to pay the salaries of millions of laid off people for three years? Obama has shown himself to be a liar. He promised that before he signed any bill he would post it on the White House website for five days. They now acknowledge that it's not gonna happen. The TARP Bill was put out in the middle of the night and no one, including Obama, who signed the bill, read it. Three hundred pages put in at the last minute and they wouldn't let the Republicans read it. The same thing with the Cap and Trade Fraud Bill. Three hundred additional pages stuffed in at 3 AM on the day it was passed. The Democrats are defrauding us all. If they had any credibility or were honest they wouldn't have sneak in billions of dollars of pork and the president would allow us to read the bill as promised. He's a bigger crook than Congress. It makes one long for the good old days of NIXON. There was an EPA study that took apart the claims made for the cap and trade Bill. That study was suppressed and the study was done by a 38 year veteran of the EPA and the author has been forbidden to speak out. So much for Obama's promise to be the most transparent administration in U.S. history. Obama didn't betray me because I could see right through his con when he ran for president. He betrayed every poor sucker who believed in him, campaigned for him, and/or voted for him.

Not too pleasant watching others play the same game you did is It? Wishful thinking on pro-life There has been 233 years of identity politics in supreme court choices...that's the point
Yes, but it's only acceptable when it privileges the status quo, you see! It's only when it's a woman that people start talking about gender and identity politics. When Bush picked men to replace the previous justices, no conservatives wondered if this were identity politics pandering to...gasp...men! Such blatant inconsistency should just be laughed at!
No, they were just personally attacked. The Dems started that with Robert Bork, then got racist about Clarence Thomas. How dare a black man be a conservative. Thomas described it as a high tech lynching. When Ruth Bader Ginsburg was nominated by Clinton she sailed right through. The Republicans should have used Barack Obama's own standards and not voted for her. Prior to the Supreme Court she held a high level position with the ACLU which is a good indication that she would advocate from the bench. And that's exactly what she does. Sum up a Supreme Court case in three pages and I'll tell you how RBG is gonna vote. Regarding Obama's nomination, it's the Democrats who've been making a big deal over her ethnicity and gender. But they are so condescending about it too. It's supposed to be a miracle that a Puerto Rican can achieve such academic success. People succeed everyday and for the Democrats to be making such an issue because a Puerto Rican succeeded tells me they believe that Puerto Ricans are inferior and we all must celebrate the only one with brains.

Let's see Photo-op Air Force One NYC White House President Obama A 'Classified' Photo Op Turns Into a Soaring Blunder for the White House Mission to Get Beauty Shots of Presidential Jet at Statue of Liberty Panics 9/11-Wary New York April 27, 2009 By SUZANNE SATALINE, JONATHAN D. ROCKOFF & CHRISTOPHER CONKEY As secret missions go, this one was a flop. On Monday morning, one of the 747s used to ferry around the president of the U.S. was dispatched to the Statue of Liberty, escorted by fighter jets. Assignment: Get some fresh glamour shots of the plane. The Air Force said the flight needed to remain confidential. So while New York police knew about it, as did at least one person in the mayor's office, regular New Yorkers remained in the dark. PANIC http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20090427/ap_on_go_pr_wh/us_low_flying_plane_purpose Raw: Startled New Yorkers Run Through Streets as Obama Plane Photo Op Goes Awry http://www.breitbart.tv/html/327763.html And this marks the close of day 98 when Obama's White House scares the s**t out of many thousands of New Yorkers & Jersey City folk all for a photo-op!
Barack Obama is the dumbest piece of shit to ever become president. This guy and his entire administration are so fucken stupid. Flying a low altitude 747 over lower Manhattan with 2 jet fighters escorting it for a "photo op" has to be the dumbest move by a president in over 200 years. Did you hear the people in Battery Park screaming while they were running? What if someone had a heart attack and died while they were running? What would that imbecile occupying the White House say? Oh, but we had to take pictures so I could show off. What a dickhead. While this is happening Moron Obama is reading another speech someone wrote for him and his teleprompter died. He stood there like a deer in the headlights. he was stuttering and stammering while the AUDIENCE LAUGHED AT HIM. I wonder how much fuel the Air Force One plane and the two fighter jets burned up so they could take pictures? Where are the envio kooks now? This guy is a total moron. On Earth Day he flew over 900 miles on Air Force One to read a short speech his staff wrote about energy conservation. I read that over 9,000 gallons of fuel, at minimum were used. That's not counting Marine One or his limo and the dozens of vehicles in his entourage. When he flies it require two 747's and at least two fighter jets. I can't remember anything by a president that's as dumb as this idiotic move. Now I know why he will not allow his transcripts to be released from Columbia and Harvard.

We are concern about the swine flu, schools will be till next May 6th, a person died because she was visiting Mexico City on Easter and 10 people have the virus in the state of Nuevo Leon...
Hi Rocio, I hope all goes well at home. And I hope they keep the schools closed as long as necessary. Something this bad happens once in a generation. Good luck and hang in there.
