"All of this is a response to what I've been witnessing and hearing, this idea that Barack is sort of a potential savior that might come and absolve the country of all its sins," Cordero said. "In a lot of ways it's about caution in assigning all these inflated expectations on one individual, and expecting them to change something that many hands have shaped."
Very perceptive for a 24 year old. Someone else noted that the Dems were pinning all their hopes and ideas on the blank slate named Barack Obama. So will Barack do for the Dem Party that Saint Bill did for them before???? I never ceased to be amazed at the utterly self delusional behavior of liberals picking an otherwise unknown and ill-equiped candidate to be their leader. I believe they call this "Magical Thinking".

Well, this guy was way off last year, so why not use him for a reliable source this year? Meanwhile, 34 years ago today, right in the middle of the "new impending ice age" scare, the worst day for tornadoes occurs.

And, in 1996, Ron Brown dies of a bullet hole in his head, er, a plane crash in Croatia. And, finally, happy 49th to Alec Baldwin!

Well, if Blair's (non)response to the Iranian's kidnapping of British soldiers is any indication, I would say that Argentina has little to worry about if it decides to snatch the Falklands again.

I didn't know the Shrubber was a Savatage fan. I loved their album Edge of Thorns. Great cover art on that one. He Carves His Stone was a kick ass tune on that album. Never got to see them in concert.

if anyone wants to get fired up over the iraq war funding bill ... go to the US Senate website and see all the ridiculous amendments attached to it ... i'm sorry, but talking about "caring for our troops" is one thing and action is another ... if there deserves to be any outrage, it should be over this bill and all the BS sticking to it. the more of this i see, the more i'm inclined to think the President's integrity, intelligence and honor outweighs everyone in the legislative branch ...
what it clearly illustrates is that pretty much all these politicians could care less about any of us, let alone the troops ... votes for pork is the proof.
and believe it or not, the fire-hydrant senator from louisiana (landrieu) added an amendment for MORE, yes MORE, money for katrina related issues ... this is downright embarassing.
"At some point, the 'public' has to contribute more to society than just exercising its rights" - [PMOH]Buck
John Kerry and the ketchup heiress were on O'Reilly's program last night. It reminded me how happy I am that he is not our president. We really dodged a bullet with them. Is she on drugs or is that her normal personality?
If the Dems were at all serious about all the downtrodden, etc., instead of giving monies to campaigns, they'd be giving the monies to charities. Wasn't there a poll recently that showed that almost 80% of all charitable contributions come from Republicans?
Realize that all that cash which Democrats raised for the sakes of Dukakis, Gore-Leibermann, & lately Kerry-Edwards, and splurged for nothing, nada zilch;
Returned them no elections, but helped cut our national deficit by gazillions; recirculated in our economy. As Dirksen once said; "It's a billion here, a billion there, and then more billions. Soon we're talkin' real money." Let the dummies feed the kitty.
Tax increases equal higher minimal wages and 'better health care', a solid retirement, stronger education... If elected the dems would be able to provide everything to everyone.
I'm somewhat surprised no one has mentioned this. What was your favorite scene in 24 last night?
Doesn't it have to be when the people in the bar go after Fayed? After weeks of watching every single frickin' civilian doing anything a terrorist wants, "just don't hurt me, I'll help you murder millions...", wasn't it great to see some "United 93" action for a change?
Yep. I was just happy I woke after nodding off during all the crappy Powers Boothe scenes to catch the end of the episode. God, is it just me, or is "24" recycling ALL their storylines each season?
Iraqi citizens aid security forces - something you WON'T hear from the msm (Lsm). Most telling quote - "Terrorists are also using chlorine gas or poisonous materials to affect the morale of the Iraqi people, he said."

WHO IS JACK SCHITT For some time many of us have wondered just who is Jack Schitt?
We find ourselves at a loss when someone says, 'You don't know Jack Schitt!' Well, thanks to my genealogy efforts, you can now respond in an intellectual way.
Jack Schitt is the only son of Awe Schitt. Awe Schitt, the fertilizer magnate, married O. Schitt, the owner of Needeep N. Schitt, Inc. They had one son, Jack.
In turn, Jack Schitt married Noe Schitt. The deeply religious couple produced six children: Holie Schitt, Giva Schitt, Fulla Schitt, Bull Schitt, and the twins Deep Schitt and Dip Schitt.
Against her parents' objections, Deep Schitt married Dumb Schitt, a high school dropout. After being married 15 years, Jack and Noe Schitt divorced. Noe Schitt later married Ted Sherlock, and because her kids were living with them, she wanted to keep her previous name. She was then known as Noe Schitt Sherlock.
Meanwhile, Dip Schitt married Loda Schitt, and they produced a son with a rather nervous disposition named Chicken Schitt. Two of the other six children, Fulla Schitt and Giva Schitt, were inseparable throughout childhood and subsequently married the Happens brothers in a dual ceremony. The wedding announcement in the newspaper announced the Schitt-Happens nuptials. The Schitt-Happens children were Dawg, Byrd, and Horse.
Bull Schitt, the prodigal son, left home to tour the world. He recently returned from Italy with his new Italian bride, Pisa Schitt.
Now when someone says, 'You don't know Jack Schitt,' you can correct them.
Looking through an antique book store, I was lucky enough to stumble upon a scrap book, labled simply, Famly Pics, in which I found a yearbook photo of Jack.

Spot the socialist! Is it me, or is it BD? Just read from the top of this now-immense thread, and decide for yourself who's the capitalist & who's the socialist. JMR
I do not ask to tax anyone in order to redistribute wealth. I am curious to know how a federal agency regulating the frequency spectrum as a coordination agency, and thus also being able to coordinate at the federal level with other nations in SOCIALISTIC?
Your view is socialistic because you advocate 100% government ownership of the property in question, BD, and by an increasingly-expensive big government agency. Face it. People can go view the thread & judge for themselves, but I'll repeat, this isn't just about the military or coordinating with foreign bureaucracies, it's also about Brent Bozell trying to curtail free speech (and, thanks to Sirius Radio & capitalism, he ended up failing miserably -- HA HA!!! I'm listening to an uncensored Howard Stern show right now!). In fact, Brent's what brought me here in the first place, so Brent Bozell's gonna remain "in play" every time you try to bring this socialistic big government agency up, unless he publicly pledges to never do it again, which I doubt he'll do despite my words. But, as usual, I stand by 'em. JMR
Yep. 100% big-government (not "public") ownership of anything is socialistic.
And to the extent that private property rights can be created in any natural resource (impossible-now in the atmosphere, but before this century people used to think that about the now-GPS-divisible ocean) they'll be better managed and protected by the private individual owners than they are by big government, if history is any judge. (The extreme-anarchist example always employed by the other side at this point is auctioning-off the various national parks, but the truth is the Federal Government owns LOADS of land besides those, which many conservatives believe should be sold into the private marketplace.)
And I never said you were Brent Bozell, I said he's now paying for that censorious (and dimwitted, and Constitutionally-challenged -- I listened) testimony before the FCC. That day, it wasn't helping the military or dealing with foreign frequency-bureaucrats. The FCC was instead busy spending my taxes and applying political censorship to a formerly-free speech-marketplace. "Tough love" time for Brent now, remember? He remains "in play," like it or not. JMR
You stump me.... Really you do. I should I start having arguments with Blarsen through you? After all, you are as directly connected to him as I am to Mr Bozell. Which is to say you are not.
Do you think I am somehow connected to Mr Bozell?
If I were to own all the rights to oxygen in Sierra Vista AZ (As you would have the ability to own the rights to 1420 AM in the similar location.) I would thus be able to market it. and charge for its use.
Using your theory, oxygen would thusly become better managed and more plentiful. Except that those who could not afford to pay my fee would thusly have to move away from SV or, of course die....
Brent is connected to the FCC, which is the subject of our conversation, via my high taxes. You want to concentrate on the military and foreign relations branches of the big government agency, and I'm here to remind you and everyone, repeatedly, of the censorship-branch. I'm glad it's getting under your skin, that's the intent with Bozell but I'll settle for you. And calling names like "kool aid" and "Comraden" is just like resorting to lying allegations of drug use -- it's what you always do when you're losing an argument. We've gone through all of this before, I know your "style," so it's difficult to surprise me, BD. Again, I encourage any interested readers to go click the link & judge "who's the socialist" for yourselves. And for the record, property rights in O2 are as impossible right now as property rights on the ocean seemed 100 years ago. IOW, O2's irrelevant at least until technology advances to the point that private property rights in the atmosphere become feasible, which may never happen. Just like selling-off the Grand Canyon, etc are all irrelevant to the debate of big government censorious agency vs free marketplace with private property rights. JMR
Blarsen you are totally foolish when it comes to the war.
You are right sarc, that is oddly THRILLING. Provides a high mush like a narcotic I imagine....
Regarding O2 rights, surely as selling off the spectrum that surrounds us all is possible, selling off the atmosphere is similarly possible. Not very NICE, but logical....
Rhayes, Blarsen, and hater don't testify before the FCC trying to censor the speech I happen to like. Brent does. I'm just helping Brent to discover the magic "off" button by being here, so I thank you for the somewhat logic-challenged assist, because I need Brent Bozell's political agenda to start costing Brent his own money instead of sarcasmo's taxes, for a change... Regarding private property and resource conservation, here are a couple of links for anyone interested. JMR
Well, since then -- just like the rest of big government -- the FCC has grown even larger & costlier. I found more recent articles by Mr. Huber here & here and his description/suggestions for the FCC here. This issue hits-home with me because recently my phones have resembled the Science Fiction (Star Trek communicator) of my youth. Who knows what would have happened if America and I had been able to use this technology a decade earlier? I kinda agree with BD that $85 billion lost due to FCC delay is speculative -- it could have easily been more! And who can put a price, at least for tech-lovers like me, on sci-fi fantasies coming true? JMR
This a must read, I heard about this on a local talk show this a.m. (better late than never on the open thread, I will be out of the office shortly and wanted to share).
Why is NB ignoring maybe one of the most important stories of this week, Nancy Pelosi? Most of the articles on this site are related to Global Warming, Rosie, and other non-stores.
There doesn't seem to be any interest in the fact the Nacy and a few republicians have violated the Logan Act and should be locked up.

Realize that all that cash which Democrats raised for the sakes of Dukakis, Gore-Leibermann, & lately Kerry-Edwards, and splurged for nothing, nada zilch;
Returned them no elections, but helped cut our national deficit by gazillions; recirculated in our economy. As Dirksen once said; "It's a billion here, a billion there, and then more billions. Soon we're talkin' real money." Let the dummies feed the kitty.

April 3, 2007 - 14:00 ET by DemonhunterI'm somewhat surprised no one has mentioned this. What was your favorite scene in 24 last night?
Doesn't it have to be when the people in the bar go after Fayed? After weeks of watching every single frickin' civilian doing anything a terrorist wants, "just don't hurt me, I'll help you murder millions...", wasn't it great to see some "United 93" action for a change?

April 3, 2007 - 16:34 ET by RackieWHO IS JACK SCHITT
For some time many of us have wondered just who is Jack Schitt?
We find ourselves at a loss when someone says, 'You don't know Jack
Schitt!' Well, thanks to my genealogy efforts, you can now respond in
an intellectual way.
Jack Schitt is the only son of Awe Schitt. Awe Schitt, the
fertilizer magnate, married O. Schitt, the owner of Needeep N.
Schitt, Inc. They had one son, Jack.
In turn, Jack Schitt married Noe Schitt. The deeply religious couple
produced six children: Holie Schitt, Giva Schitt, Fulla Schitt, Bull
Schitt, and the twins Deep Schitt and Dip Schitt.
Against her parents' objections, Deep Schitt married Dumb Schitt, a
high school dropout. After being married 15 years, Jack and Noe Schitt
divorced. Noe Schitt later married Ted Sherlock, and because her kids
were living with them, she wanted to keep her previous name. She was
then known as Noe Schitt Sherlock.
Meanwhile, Dip Schitt married Loda Schitt, and they produced a son
with a rather nervous disposition named Chicken Schitt. Two of the
other six children, Fulla Schitt and Giva Schitt, were inseparable
throughout childhood and subsequently married the Happens brothers in
a dual ceremony. The wedding announcement in the newspaper announced the Schitt-Happens nuptials. The Schitt-Happens children were Dawg, Byrd, and Horse.
Bull Schitt, the prodigal son, left home to tour the world. He recently
returned from Italy with his new Italian bride, Pisa Schitt.
Now when someone says, 'You don't know Jack Schitt,' you can correct
them.
Sincerely,
Crock O. Schitt

Spot the socialist!
April 4, 2007 - 00:44 ET by sarcasmoSpot the socialist! Is it me, or is it BD? Just read from the top of this now-immense thread, and decide for yourself who's the capitalist & who's the socialist.

April 4, 2007 - 05:41 ET by BDUh. how is my view socialistic?
I do not ask to tax anyone in order to redistribute wealth. I am curious to know how a federal agency regulating the frequency spectrum as a coordination agency, and thus also being able to coordinate at the federal level with other nations in SOCIALISTIC?
Your view is socialistic be
April 4, 2007 - 05:58 ET by sarcasmoYour view is socialistic because you advocate 100% government ownership of the property in question, BD, and by an increasingly-expensive big government agency. Face it. People can go view the thread & judge for themselves, but I'll repeat, this isn't just about the military or coordinating with foreign bureaucracies, it's also about Brent Bozell trying to curtail free speech (and, thanks to Sirius Radio & capitalism, he ended up failing miserably -- HA HA!!! I'm listening to an uncensored Howard Stern show right now!). In fact, Brent's what brought me here in the first place, so Brent Bozell's gonna remain "in play" every time you try to bring this socialistic big government agency up, unless he publicly pledges to never do it again, which I doubt he'll do despite my words. But, as usual, I stand by 'em.
JMR

April 4, 2007 - 06:11 ET by BDSo, the public ownership of the frequency spectrum by the US citizenry is "Socialistic?"
When are you going to start auctioning off the atmosphere?
By the way, I am not Brent Bozell. (Not that there is anything wrong with that.) (Sorry Brent - Ha!)
Yep. 100% big-government (n
April 4, 2007 - 06:24 ET by sarcasmoYep. 100% big-government (not "public") ownership of anything is socialistic.
And to the extent that private property rights can be created in any natural resource (impossible-now in the atmosphere, but before this century people used to think that about the now-GPS-divisible ocean) they'll be better managed and protected by the private individual owners than they are by big government, if history is any judge. (The extreme-anarchist example always employed by the other side at this point is auctioning-off the various national parks, but the truth is the Federal Government owns LOADS of land besides those, which many conservatives believe should be sold into the private marketplace.)
And I never said you were Brent Bozell, I said he's now paying for that censorious (and dimwitted, and Constitutionally-challenged -- I listened) testimony before the FCC. That day, it wasn't helping the military or dealing with foreign frequency-bureaucrats. The FCC was instead busy spending my taxes and applying political censorship to a formerly-free speech-marketplace. "Tough love" time for Brent now, remember? He remains "in play," like it or not.
JMR
You stump me.... Really you
April 4, 2007 - 06:44 ET by BDYou stump me.... Really you do. I should I start having arguments with Blarsen through you? After all, you are as directly connected to him as I am to Mr Bozell. Which is to say you are not.
Do you think I am somehow connected to Mr Bozell?
If I were to own all the rights to oxygen in Sierra Vista AZ (As you would have the ability to own the rights to 1420 AM in the similar location.) I would thus be able to market it. and charge for its use.
Using your theory, oxygen would thusly become better managed and more plentiful. Except that those who could not afford to pay my fee would thusly have to move away from SV or, of course die....
Lighten up on the libertarian kool-aid Comaraden.
Brent is connected to the F
April 4, 2007 - 06:52 ET by sarcasmoBrent is connected to the FCC, which is the subject of our conversation, via my high taxes. You want to concentrate on the military and foreign relations branches of the big government agency, and I'm here to remind you and everyone, repeatedly, of the censorship-branch. I'm glad it's getting under your skin, that's the intent with Bozell but I'll settle for you. And calling names like "kool aid" and "Comraden" is just like resorting to lying allegations of drug use -- it's what you always do when you're losing an argument. We've gone through all of this before, I know your "style," so it's difficult to surprise me, BD. Again, I encourage any interested readers to go click the link & judge "who's the socialist" for yourselves. And for the record, property rights in O2 are as impossible right now as property rights on the ocean seemed 100 years ago. IOW, O2's irrelevant at least until technology advances to the point that private property rights in the atmosphere become feasible, which may never happen. Just like selling-off the Grand Canyon, etc are all irrelevant to the debate of big government censorious agency vs free marketplace with private property rights.

April 4, 2007 - 07:18 ET by BDHey hater- I think you are wrong.
Gee Rhayes, your theories are incorrect.
Blarsen you are totally foolish when it comes to the war.
You are right sarc, that is oddly THRILLING. Provides a high mush like a narcotic I imagine....
Regarding O2 rights, surely as selling off the spectrum that surrounds us all is possible, selling off the atmosphere is similarly possible. Not very NICE, but logical....
Gotta go to PT and run a bit.
Rhayes, Blarsen, and hater
April 4, 2007 - 07:34 ET by sarcasmoRhayes, Blarsen, and hater don't testify before the FCC trying to censor the speech I happen to like. Brent does. I'm just helping Brent to discover the magic "off" button by being here, so I thank you for the somewhat logic-challenged assist, because I need Brent Bozell's political agenda to start costing Brent his own money instead of sarcasmo's taxes, for a change... Regarding private property and resource conservation, here are a couple of links for anyone interested.

April 4, 2007 - 08:29 ET by sarcasmoWell, since then -- just like the rest of big government -- the FCC has grown even larger & costlier. I found more recent articles by Mr. Huber here & here and his description/suggestions for the FCC here. This issue hits-home with me because recently my phones have resembled the Science Fiction (Star Trek communicator) of my youth. Who knows what would have happened if America and I had been able to use this technology a decade earlier? I kinda agree with BD that $85 billion lost due to FCC delay is speculative -- it could have easily been more! And who can put a price, at least for tech-lovers like me, on sci-fi fantasies coming true?
