It certainly isn't the world of a "devout Catholic grandmother" as she calls herself.
Her Speakerness is a poor excuse for a Catholic. How long before she and others like her are advocating a one-child policy (voluntary at first, of course)? The only Catholic teachings they respect are the "social justice" parts.
She has actually said that the question of "when life begins" should NOT be allowed to infringe on a woman's "right to choose."
For that alone she should be excommuncated, and I really wish she would be, along with Kerry. They should not be allowed to publicly flout the teachings of their Church and still call themselves "Catholic."
Agree totally. She constitutes part of what I like to call "the other Catholic scandal."

Hi everyone. I just want to say that I've been checking out New Busters for a while now and I finally got accepted.
Anyway... Is there ANY doubt about this woman being a psycho b!tch? What kind of twisted logic does she use? To bad that her parents didn't abort her when he was mayor of Baltimore, MD.
I'm a recently accepted reader of Newsbusters as well. NB reads and watches so I don't have to.
On to Pelosi, this stunningly stupid remark caught my eye just before I clicked over here. Even she probably doesn't know what she meant. Twisted logic doesn't begin to describe the idiocy here. My formula for stimulus is for the government to leave us alone. That and they do what my family is doing right now - downsizing the budget.
...our new president seems to think that suurounding himself with "village idiots" (Biden, Rahmbo, Hillary, Pelosi, Reid) makes him look good!
btw: here's where I would insert a link to Rahmbo thumbing his nose at the President's coronation....but it seems to have been "scrubbed" from the internet!
Doesn't he know he won already and it's time to SHUT UP!!!!
I am sick of being lectured to by this economic illiterate. "Need more than the same old empty promises"....then ratchets up CAFE standards. Riiiiiight, Barry. I'm with Rush!!!
And as for Nanny....she's dumber than a box of rocks. And the "leader" of this herd of porcine congresscritters.
Great quote from Dr. Sowell:
New things require long delays before they can get started, especially when they have to be done by politicians. Someone once said that Congress would take 30 days to make instant coffee-- and Congress is just the beginning of the delays, as all sorts of competing interests jockey for position at the public trough.
Porcine congresscritters is right. And it appears they are going to become much fatter very soon, as I think the hideous $825 billion vote-buying bill is going to sail through congress unscathed.
Any republican that votes for that bill should be publicly flogged.
I noticed PrezBo is going to allow individual states to set their own emissions requirements.
If the economy doesn't destroy the US automakers, that insanity surely will.
I will not buy a new car in California after this stupidity is enacted. I will just overhaul the ones I have.......There old enough now to get by the stupid eco laws here. This will mean that auto makers will now have to have 50 different versions of the same car, due to the 50 states different eco laws....STUPID!!!!! Just like gasoline.......25 different grades and mixtures due to different state standards. Wow.....would it be too much to ask for a NATIONAL standard???? Good god these people are stupid!!!
Vote-buying bill, indeed. Michelle Malkin calls it a "crap sandwich."
I think it will get even more interesting...now that birth control has been classified thus, I can't wait to see what else they can distort into being called an "economic stimulus."
Well, of course increased government spending on birth control will help the economy. After all, increased taxpayer subsidies for House Speaker airplane upgrades and botched plastic surgery have already helped!

Not that we aren't spoiled for choice in that department here in New York. I nominate local Fox 5 Anchor Rosanna Scotto...a dumber, more provincial woman you will hardly find. She had Kirsten Gillenbrand on this morning and scolded her for voting against the "stimulus package" because Southern New York carries the freight for Upstate New York...and Wall Street could have really used this bailout after all it's done for the rest of the State. I think the only reason this annoying woman is on TV is that the producers like her family's Italian restaurant, and this gives her an opportunity to plug it ad nauseum. She'd give Stretch Pelosi a good run for national village idiot.

This school seriously beat a team that is full of kids with learning disabilities. Note that the media had to add that to the story to garner sympathy (I have no idea how dyslexia affects one's ability to play basketball, but I digress).
No matter, if they had a problem with the team beating these learning-disabled kids, they shouldn't have been put in a position to play against a team that is far out of their league.
Just another example of a "fairness doctrine". Anyone who is successfull must be eliminated. We start with massive school apologies; then making the winning team feel bad; followed by firing the coach; and eventually, forfeiting the winning game and disbanding the team. But even after all this is done, it won't be enough. The winning team will be required to offer reparations to the losers, and the individual players will be suspended from school if they ever, ever even hint that they did no wrong.
It's the Liberal, progressive way. A model for the country. Now, let's go after the very successful Rush Limbaugh, what-do-you-say?

...this evening so those of you who don't want a tax cheat/incompetent overseeing the IRS might want to call your senators and tell them that.
Of course given that fact that half the Republicans on the Senate Finance Committee voted for him he's probably a slam dunk, but still, we need to start putting these guys on notice.

Answer: Illegal Aliens
I hope the following 14 reasons are forwarded over and over again until they
are read so many times that the reader gets sick of reading them. I have
included the URL's for verification of the following facts:
1. $11 Billion to $22 billion is spent on welfare to illegal aliens each
year.
10. The illegal aliens in the United States have a crime rate that's
two-and-a-half times that of white non-illegal aliens. In particular,
their children, are going to make a huge additional crime problem in the
US.
11. During the year of 2005 there were 4 to 10 MILLION illegal aliens
that crossed our Southern Border also, as many as 19,500 illegal aliens
from Terrorist Countries. Millions of pounds of drugs, c ocaine, meth,
heroin and marijuana, crossed into the U. S from the Southern border.
Homeland Security Report.
12. The National Policy Institute, 'estimated that the total cost of
mass deportation would be between $206 and $230 billion or an average
cost of between $41 and $46 billion annually over a five year period.'
"In his inaugural address, Mr. Obama appealed for 'a new era of responsibility,' bemoaned 'greed and irresponsibility' and 'failure to make hard choices.' But, Mr. President, if you condone a culture that has no sense of awe and responsibility toward the greatest of all miracles and mysteries -- life itself -- how can you expect responsibility elsewhere?" Star Parker (speaking on abortion)
it will ease the burden on state budgets. But so will offing granny and grandpa, illegals, and just about everyone else that could possibly be the recipient of a future entitlement, state sponored health care etc. Maybe that's her evil plan...do away with everyone so she can be Princess of the Universe (PU).
You would think that uttering insane statements like this would help end her time in the house, but the bizarro universe that is the Bay area loves this crap.
If we are going to have to put up with stem cell research, can we please start the project by locating the gene responsible for the disease that causes liberalism? Pelosi and her kind are mentally defective. Maybe it's genetic and they can be cured. Until then, somebody please send her some meds.
But so will offing granny and grandpa, illegals, and just about everyone else
But, alas her plan would not include illegals, as they are part of the dems current and future voting base.

"Two years ago at this podium, I urged spending restraint. I asked that billions of surplus funds be deposited in state savings. This struck me as a simple precaution against, as I described it, massive single-year cuts down the road, if and when we faced tougher times. You legislators agreed, so we can now meet our challenge in a stronger position.
And you understood the challenge is not just to think fast and change plans when the price of oil suddenly falls, affecting revenue by billions of dollars. The challenge is to follow a consistent plan despite inconsistent prices.
With prudence, you built our reserves – that was good planning. This national economic downturn that’s spread to the energy market – it found us prepared. And that’s more than many states can say about their financial situation."
-Sarah Palin, State of the State of Alaska speech
How can anyone say this woman doesn't know what she's doing? In this economy, she's got a state surplus that she asked the government to sit on for just such an occasion. Meanwhile, this airhead Pelosi is talking about how contraception will save money while her state is on the verge of Bankruptcy.

Her contraception argument was hilarious, sure enough, but she had other whoppers in that interview.
One of my favorites is when she assured us that the stimulation package was bi-partisan. When confronted with the fact that the GOP was complaining about being shut out of the process, she unleashed another whopper. Her (again hilarious) argument was that the bill was bi-partisan because the majority listened to the Republicans' arguments, and evaluated whether they were appropriate.
She can barely hide how giddy she is about this stimulus. The libs have finally convinced people that they need the government to bail them out. I'm tired of people waiting for someone to "fix" the economy.
In the words of El Rushbo "Do you know what the best stimulus to the economy would be right now? Doing nothing!"
the economy will right itself . I do not object using public funds to help individual people with getting along when they lose their jobs but I always fear it becoming a permanent state of affairs.
Contractions and expansions of the economy are natural and normal. The "law" of unintended consequences may prevail with this meddling (see Fannie and Fred for that "unintended consequence of social planning) because the exact amount of meddling to "right" the economy is an unknown quantity and all this falls into the "We have go to do something" category. It just looks like an excuse to loot the treasury for their pet ideological projects and for the politicians to look like they are doing something constructive.
Change: When the winds of change blow hard enough, the most trivial of things can become deadly projectiles. From a Poster
I saw this on Drudge and wondered what in the world these folks are thinking. This economic crisis is deepening and the Barry, Nancy, Harry triumvirate is fiddling. This stuff that makes up the so-called bailout is useless if all it does is advance the Liberal agenda.
Make the banks solvent and force them to extend reasonable credit to qualified business or the current recession will descend into depression. No planes or $1million renovations to offices until borrowers are able to access credit.
There are a number of companies in our area that have folded or restricted their business because the banks called in their notes or wouldn't roll over construction bonds. The banks won't make loans available so they loose income from existing business that would improve their bottom line.
What I find so funny is Nanny and Schumer saying: "We're trying to work with the Republicans. We're including tax cuts because that's the way the Republicans like to work."
No, you're including tax cuts so that if the whole thing blows up you can blame the Republicans.
...you gutless little twerp. Why bother even asking the question if you're going to take that nonsense for an answer.
Try something like this next time:
Woah, woah, woah! Madam Speaker, please, for the benefit of my audience, could you answer the question. How will millions in spending on "family planning services" have a distinct effect stimulating the economy? I fail to see how "reducing costs" will do this.
Challenge Georgie, challenge! Ah, it'll never happen.
To steal a quote from the great Jim Quinn, to a liberal, each new baby is a burden on society, another draw on limited resources. To a Conservative, each new baby is a potential new resource, a benefit to society.
...is one of the more ridiculous things i have heard come out of her mouth, and that is saying a lot! (in my neck of the woods, we would say that she doesn't have the sense God gave a turnip green!) hard to believe that she really thinks "investing" in entitlements is sound economics. the only thing sound about that kind of policy is the guarantee that voters who are enslaved (by entitlements) to their elected officials will continue to sheepishly vote for those who have enslaved them.

I am hereby requiring an addition to the Constitution.
When we were children, we used to play a game. Everyone would line up with their legs about 2 feet apart. Then one person would have to crawl through all the other kid's legs. As they were crawling through, the ones standing spanked the one crawling through.
I propose that at certain times of the year, members of Congress should be required to crawl through the legs of people that have lined up on the Washington Mall.
When I was a probation officer I wasn't allowed to mention family planning (read birth control) at all, under any circumstances. It was consided to be racist. One "client" was 35, had 5 kids and her oldest was about to make her a grandmother. She wanted information for herself and her daughter and I wasn't allowed to discuss it with her AT ALL. The idea is that speaking to a "minority" about family planning is promoting genocide and is nothing more than another way to keep african-americans down. Of course, Nancy will get a pass. While I might be vilified for this, I agree with Nan on this one after seeing so many young women with 6 or 7 kids they couldn't afford to feed on their own. Dependent on food stamps and other gov programs to keep it going. If family planning included teaching good judgement and self respect, it might work.
"The Homeland Security Department still is requiring high-level approval before federal immigration agents can arrest fugitives, a rule quietly imposed by the Bush administration days before the election of Barack Obama, whose aunt has been living in the United States illegally.
The unusual directive from the Homeland Security Department came amid concerns that such arrests might generate "negative media or congressional interest," according to a newly disclosed federal document obtained by The Associated Press."

My problem is believing in any of our politicians. Thier power comes from our taxes and the long terms. And still unexplained is how the people do not or cannot hold there representatives responsible yet keep reelecting the same representative that continue to reek havoc on out political system and degrade America. Besides Pelosi/Reid/Dodd/Schumer,... et al.
My perfect opinionate example John Murtha (D-PA). The perfect political package - prideful, arrogant, smarmy, ... on and on.
Okay. It's certified now. This woman is absolutely insane.
Okay, let me understand this.
First, having an abortion stimulates the economy? Huh? Apparently, Nancy forgot about one key item of the economy. It's called people. You need people to produce and consume.
Second, Nancy asserts that all economist agree that you get a larger bang for your buck with food stamps and unemployment insurance than with tax cuts. The very first question in my mind (the one that the sycophantic George Stephanopolous does not ask) is who? Name me the economists (besides Paul Krugman who thinks government is the answer to everything) that think food stamps stimulate the economy.
Another question is can you name me a single example where food stamps and unemployment insurance actually stimulated the economy? I can't think of one.
This woman is absolutely insane and no one is calling her on it.
Ok Pelosi. You say fewer babies will help the ecnomic stiuation. Japan, in a deep recession, is encouraging reproduction. Even giving workers off early, twice a week, to go home and play whoopie! Now your telling us that will hurt Japans recovery?
What part of "stupid idea" do you not understand? Fewer babies = Fewer future workers = ecnomic downturn = third world USA.
Let's see. We are creating a mountain of debt for our children and grandchildren to pay off. So, it only makes sense to have fewer offspring to help pay it off.
Would you believe Pelosi and Hank Paulson graduated from the same college? Trinity of Washington, DC.
PELOSI: Well, the family planning services reduce cost. They reduce cost. The states are in terrible fiscal budget crises now and part of what we do for children's health, education and some of those elements are to help the states meet their financial needs. One of those - one of the initiatives you mentioned, the contraception, will reduce costs to the states and to the federal government.
Isn't this what Ann Coulter was trying to say that Single Mothers do?
Difference is Coulture says keep your legs closed. Pelosi says do what you want. Uncle Sam has some medicine to "protect" you.
You trying to say Jesus Christ can't hit a curveball?
Your main concern, your only concern, at this point is to provide for your family.
While this administration will severely strain the middle class, those who can convert what they have now to cash can still profit from all the chaos being created.

Negative population growth is good for the economy? Huh.
Isn't a perpetual positive population growth required for the successful funding of the Medicare/Universal Health Care and Social Security Ponzi--I mean social programs?
Isn't a growing economy supposed to supplied with more and more workers and more and more jobs as the timeline progresses into the future?
But somehow...by reducing human reproduction, government will fix the economy.
Very interesting indeed.
I'm surprised that no one has been sucked into the gravitational pull of the black hole that resides inside Pelosi's skull. How do these people ever get elected? How stupid are the people that are voting for these idiots?

And to add insult to injury, Obama is all for imposing greater fuel efficiency requirements on the already foundering auto industry.
Reality check, Mr. Boy President: If the auto makers could make automobiles more fuel efficient they would...ALL their customers desperately want greater fuel efficiency. Who wouldn't want to buy a car that topped 50 MPG or more? The problem is the internal combustion engine...it has hit it's efficiency wall...for over 100 years engineers have been wringing every bit of efficiency out of internal combustion engines...most of the energy that is not harnessed is due to heat transfer. It doesn't matter what fuels you use, there will still be tremedous inefficiency due to the heat transfer through the enormous (and necessary) friction of the metal parts.
He says, "We must help them thrive by building the cars of tomorrow." (Back to your sinking ship analogy). Yeah, that's what's been holding the engineers back from designing more efficient engines...government wasn't "helping" them do it.
And Obama says it's necessary because our fossil fuel supplies are dwindling. "America will not be held hostage to dwindling resources," he said.
"The days of Washington dragging its heels are over. My administration will not deny facts. We will be guided by them." It's a fact, huh? Were's your source evidence to support your assertion Mr. President?
I just cannot believe the audacity of ignorance that emits from the people currently in power. Given time, I am certain Obama will surpass Jimmy Carter's ineptness at rational thought and reason.

Wished I wasn't in a hurry...but you get my drift...I hope.
Let's be absolutely clear here: What she proposes isn't merely amusing, it is flat out the opposite of what this country needs right now.
Ms. Pelosi, maybe you should cut back on whatever prescription medication you're on. It's taking its toll on your brain. Haven't you heard the this country's demographic is aging, that Social Security is rapidly converging on bankruptcy, that we have a huge federal budget deficit that is due primarly to the mandatory spending (which is about 2x as much as military and the gap will continue to grow) for entitlement programs that are becoming a runaway truck due to the aging population?
What is needed is the exact opposite: Incentives for larger families, (brought on by a reduced usage of contraception). We are barely at replacement rate, and that just ain't gonna cut it in the near future. This country will be brought to its knees if something is not done to reverse this trend quickly, unless she has in mind extermination of the elderly.
What is it about Democrats when it comes to touting Contraception and Abortion as the answers to all the world's problems?

This is what comes from the naive minds of those who think that the Presidency is just a job with better percs. I don't want it to happen, but I suspect that the realities of the Presidency will eventually cause a good deal of stress to the Obama's marriage. At least Mrs. Clinton and Mrs. Bush had the experience of being governors' wives and a longer history of life in the political limelight. Michelle Obama appears to be a strong, independent sort. But if her relationship with her husband is to endure, she'll need to learn to take a back seat much of the time.
Married for 22 years, Mary and Abraham Lincoln's marriage was a stormy one.
They had different personalities and opposing temperaments. They both
struggled with depression. Mary was used to luxury while Abe had a
background of poverty and hardship. Mary was well educated and Abe had
little formal schooling.
Their love for one another wasn't enough to overcome the grief, disappointments, and lack of communication in their marriage.

Bill Kristol must have lost whatever little sense he had left.
Unless this debate is sponsored by Fox News and moderated by Rick Warren, Kristol will lose.
This is how it will go:
Question to Bill: Why didn't Bush fly over to Abu Grahib and stop the torture that we all knew American soldiers were capable of?
Question to Matt: How do you get your hair so shiny?
Question to Bill: Why didn't Bush fly down to New Orleans and rescue those poor black people? Does he hate blacks?
Question to Matt: Did you enjoy working more with Julia Roberts or Gwynnie Paltrow?
Well the debates are over, and let me just say that Matt Damon gave me a tingle up my spine. He was indeed the winner of tonight's debate by a long shot.
I can understand your concern about Bill Kristol damaging his reputation by debating that infant, Matt Damon. But I don't think you have to worry that Bill Kristol will actually lose the debate. No matter who the moderator is and what questions will be asked, you can be pretty sure about the substance Matt Damon will bring to the debate.

January 26, 2009 - 11:17 ET by NorthCoasterToo bad Bill Ayers was in hiding before the election. He is an unrepentant, unapologetic terrorist. There's no need to parse words.
His comparison of himself to national leaders calling them terrorists and hmself just a man, is what I would expect him to say.

January 26, 2009 - 12:23 ET by motherbeltIt certainly isn't the world of a "devout Catholic grandmother" as she calls herself.
Her Speakerness is a poor excuse for a Catholic. How long before she and others like her are advocating a one-child policy (voluntary at first, of course)? The only Catholic teachings they respect are the "social justice" parts.
She has actually said that the question of "when life begins" should NOT be allowed to infringe on a woman's "right to choose."
For that alone she should be excommuncated, and I really wish she would be, along with Kerry. They should not be allowed to publicly flout the teachings of their Church and still call themselves "Catholic."
Agree totally. She

On to Pelosi, this stunningly stupid remark caught my eye just before I clicked over here. Even she probably doesn't know what she meant. Twisted logic doesn't begin to describe the idiocy here. My formula for stimulus is for the government to leave us alone. That and they do what my family is doing right now - downsizing the budget.

We start with massive school apologies; then making the winning team feel bad; followed by firing the coach; and eventually, forfeiting the winning game and disbanding the team. But even after all this is done, it won't be enough. The winning team will be required to offer reparations to the losers, and the individual players will be suspended from school if they ever, ever even hint that they did no wrong.

Here's a beautiful quote from Palin
January 26, 2009 - 10:52 ET by Lord Erond"Two years ago at this podium, I urged spending restraint. I asked that billions of surplus funds be deposited in state savings. This struck me as a simple precaution against, as I described it, massive single-year cuts down the road, if and when we faced tougher times. You legislators agreed, so we can now meet our challenge in a stronger position.
And you understood the challenge is not just to think fast and change plans when the price of oil suddenly falls, affecting revenue by billions of dollars. The challenge is to follow a consistent plan despite inconsistent prices.
With prudence, you built our reserves – that was good planning. This national economic downturn that’s spread to the energy market – it found us prepared. And that’s more than many states can say about their financial situation."
-Sarah Palin, State of the State of Alaska speech
How can anyone say this woman doesn't know what she's doing? In this economy, she's got a state surplus that she asked the government to sit on for just such an occasion. Meanwhile, this airhead Pelosi is talking about how contraception will save money while her state is on the verge of Bankruptcy.

One of my favorites is when she assured us that the stimulation package was bi-partisan. When confronted with the fact that the GOP was complaining about being shut out of the process, she unleashed another whopper. Her (again hilarious) argument was that the bill was bi-partisan because the majority listened to the Republicans' arguments, and evaluated whether they were appropriate.

Contractions and expansions of the economy are natural and normal. The "law" of unintended consequences may prevail with this meddling (see Fannie and Fred for that "unintended consequence of social planning) because the exact amount of meddling to "right" the economy is an unknown quantity and all this falls into the "We have go to do something" category. It just looks like an excuse to loot the treasury for their pet ideological projects and for the politicians to look like they are doing something constructive.

Make the banks solvent and force them to extend reasonable credit to qualified business or the current recession will descend into depression. No planes or $1million renovations to offices until borrowers are able to access credit.
There are a number of companies in our area that have folded or restricted their business because the banks called in their notes or wouldn't roll over construction bonds. The banks won't make loans available so they loose income from existing business that would improve their bottom line.
What A Joke
January 26, 2009 - 11:15 ET by GothampcWhat I find so funny is Nanny and Schumer saying: "We're trying to work with the Republicans. We're including tax cuts because that's the way the Republicans like to work."
No, you're including tax cuts so that if the whole thing blows up you can blame the Republicans.

When we were children, we used to play a game. Everyone would line up with their legs about 2 feet apart. Then one person would have to crawl through all the other kid's legs. As they were crawling through, the ones standing spanked the one crawling through.

"family planning"
January 26, 2009 - 11:28 ET by anormWhen I was a probation officer I wasn't allowed to mention family planning (read birth control) at all, under any circumstances. It was consided to be racist. One "client" was 35, had 5 kids and her oldest was about to make her a grandmother. She wanted information for herself and her daughter and I wasn't allowed to discuss it with her AT ALL. The idea is that speaking to a "minority" about family planning is promoting genocide and is nothing more than another way to keep african-americans down. Of course, Nancy will get a pass. While I might be vilified for this, I agree with Nan on this one after seeing so many young women with 6 or 7 kids they couldn't afford to feed on their own. Dependent on food stamps and other gov programs to keep it going. If family planning included teaching good judgement and self respect, it might work.

Okay, let me understand this.
First, having an abortion stimulates the economy? Huh? Apparently, Nancy forgot about one key item of the economy. It's called people. You need people to produce and consume.
Second, Nancy asserts that all economist agree that you get a larger bang for your buck with food stamps and unemployment insurance than with tax cuts. The very first question in my mind (the one that the sycophantic George Stephanopolous does not ask) is who? Name me the economists (besides Paul Krugman who thinks government is the answer to everything) that think food stamps stimulate the economy.
Another question is can you name me a single example where food stamps and unemployment insurance actually stimulated the economy? I can't think of one.
This woman is absolutely insane and no one is calling her on it.

But somehow...by reducing human reproduction, government will fix the economy.

January 26, 2009 - 18:52 ET by Mean Gene Dr. LoveAnd to add insult to injury, Obama is all for imposing greater fuel efficiency requirements on the already foundering auto industry.
Reality check, Mr. Boy President: If the auto makers could make automobiles more fuel efficient they would...ALL their customers desperately want greater fuel efficiency. Who wouldn't want to buy a car that topped 50 MPG or more? The problem is the internal combustion engine...it has hit it's efficiency wall...for over 100 years engineers have been wringing every bit of efficiency out of internal combustion engines...most of the energy that is not harnessed is due to heat transfer. It doesn't matter what fuels you use, there will still be tremedous inefficiency due to the heat transfer through the enormous (and necessary) friction of the metal parts.
He says, "We must help them thrive by building the cars of tomorrow." (Back to your sinking ship analogy). Yeah, that's what's been holding the engineers back from designing more efficient engines...government wasn't "helping" them do it.
And Obama says it's necessary because our fossil fuel supplies are dwindling. "America will not be held hostage to dwindling resources," he said.
"The days of Washington dragging its heels are over. My administration will not deny facts. We will be guided by them." It's a fact, huh? Were's your source evidence to support your assertion Mr. President?
I just cannot believe the audacity of ignorance that emits from the people currently in power. Given time, I am certain Obama will surpass Jimmy Carter's ineptness at rational thought and reason.

Ms. Pelosi, maybe you should cut back on whatever prescription medication you're on. It's taking its toll on your brain. Haven't you heard the this country's demographic is aging, that Social Security is rapidly converging on bankruptcy, that we have a huge federal budget deficit that is due primarly to the mandatory spending (which is about 2x as much as military and the gap will continue to grow) for entitlement programs that are becoming a runaway truck due to the aging population?
What is needed is the exact opposite: Incentives for larger families, (brought on by a reduced usage of contraception). We are barely at replacement rate, and that just ain't gonna cut it in the near future. This country will be brought to its knees if something is not done to reverse this trend quickly, unless she has in mind extermination of the elderly.

Unless this debate is sponsored by Fox News and moderated by Rick Warren, Kristol will lose.
This is how it will go:
Question to Bill: Why didn't Bush fly over to Abu Grahib and stop the torture that we all knew American soldiers were capable of?
Question to Matt: How do you get your hair so shiny?
Question to Bill: Why didn't Bush fly down to New Orleans and rescue those poor black people? Does he hate blacks?
Question to Matt: Did you enjoy working more with Julia Roberts or Gwynnie Paltrow?

But I don't think you have to worry that Bill Kristol will actually lose the debate. No matter who the moderator is and what questions will be asked, you can be pretty sure about the substance Matt Damon will bring to the debate.

Step Two: Invent new and interesting rationalizations for its exsistence.
