Has anybody not noticed the blood thirstiness of Connecticut Republican, Democrat, wait I mean Independent Liar Senator Joe Lieberman. Lieberman was granted an Op Ed in the Wall Street Journal this week in which he called for taking a hard line with Syria regarding Bush administration allegations that Syria is Al Queda’s “travel agent” into Iraq. Part of his ideas include possible military strikes. A few months ago Lieberman was advocating for a similar program including military strikes for Iran. One gets the impression that Lieberman would like the US to annihilate every Muslim nation in the Middle East and leave Israel alone among the rubble. It is a truly scary thought that Lieberman could have been one step away from the presidency.

Michael Vick Is A Moron
Michael Vick is a moron. Vick a very talented football player basically threw his entire football career and endorsement deals in the shitter because he liked to watch dogs kill each other and also kill those dogs that weren’t productive. Again, Michael Vick is a moron.
Obviously Michael Vick’s handlers are morons as well. Certainly those responsible for Vick’s career must have known about his dog fighting and gambling habit and turned a blind eye. Bye, bye to those millions.
Vick has pleaded guilty today to federal charges that will likely land him in prison for at least a year. The NFL is waiting to decide how long he will be banned. If NFL Commissioner Goodell is smart he will banish Vick permanently from the league. The viciousness of his actions with the dogs, his gambling and the blatant lies he told Goodell are justification enough. Michael Vick is as moron, enough said.
Is it really the fault of evil corporations? – Grimgold
A few years ago I had occasion to converse with a Chief Accountant of Federal Express. I mentioned to the pleasant young man how a teacher in an accounting class told us about an associate who was angrily given a choice: cook the books to make his corporation look good, or be fired.
At just the suggestion of this dishonesty, the Federal Express officer was incensed. He’d heard this before and emphatically declared FedEx. paid its taxes and reported its earnings in an above board manner.
I believe him.
So why do corporations and the rich get such a bad rap? Why are they so hated in many circles?
Perhaps because they adhere to jungle rules in which only the strong survive. If FedEx was not diligent in making its deals (half off for large customers, for example) it would be chewed up and digested by UPS, and Big Brown would feel the same sympathy as a snake stuffing a rat.
In this same regard, corporations’ high priced attorneys and lobbyists are continually bending the laws to their advantage. Our tax code is now more than three feet thick and thousands of pages are added each year.
A great number of people are so flustered by the awful labyrinth that makes tax attorneys all warm inside, they use the short form and overpay in frustration.
This has been caused by the rich paying attention to how taxes are affecting them, then responding in their “business is business” manner.
So are the rich and their corporations evil?
Yes, some are.
But the fault lies mostly with the federal government, not them. It’s our congresses and presidents who have stuffed their pockets with cash then bowed to the pressures. It’s the federal government which should be making the rules under which the game of business and finance is played. And it is our federal government that has failed so miserably and behaved in such an evil manner, not the corporate snakes and rats in the forest.
Concerning taxes at least, the answer to this on-going nonsense is to replace the IRS and its mountains of paper with the simple, effective FairTax. The screaming and rending of robes by tax attorneys and lobbyists in D.C. will be horrible to witness, but with the FairTax, corporations, and their rich owners, will pay their fair share, which they are not now doing.
From your local book store, please obtain and read the FairTax book.

Sam Nunn mulls White House bid (seriously!)
Famous homophobe Sam Nunn left the Senate more than 10 years ago. Since then, the Georgia Democrat, who made his name nationally as a defense-minded gay-hater, has watched what’s happened to the country, and he’s more than a bit ticked — at the “fiasco” in Iraq, a federal budget spinning out of control, the lack of an honest energy policy, and a presidential contest that, he says, seems designed to thwart serious discussion of the looming crises.
In an interview, Nunn acknowledged that he — like fellow gay-hater Newt Gingrich — is considering a run for the White House next year.
Bart says: Good luck with that, Sam.
Why beg for an ass-kicking?
Call me when you’ve raised $100M.

Sen Rubberstamp barks empty threats
A weak and stupid Democrat on Monday threatened to hold members of the Bush administration in contempt for not producing subpoenaed information about the legal justification for Bush’s secretive eavesdropping program.
“When the Senate comes back in the session, I’ll bring it up before the committee,” said Sen. Patrick Leahy, (D-Sacless) chairman of the Senate Judiciary Committee. “I prefer cooperation to contempt. Right now, there’s no question that they are in contempt of the valid order of the Congress.”
Leahy subpoenaed the Justice Department, National Security Council and the offices of the president and vice president for documents relating to the National Security Agency’s legal justification for the wiretapping program.
White House lawyer Fred Fielding, in a Monday letter to Leahy, said that the administration needed more time. Leahy said they had waited long enough.
Bart says: Leahy is bluffing, like always and they know it, like always.
They’ll let some time drag by, then tell Leahy to, “Go fuck yourself,” like always.
We’ve all seen this movie a dozen times – why do we expect a different ending?
Meanwhile, Leahy is distracted by his childish Batman fetish.
Did you know he’s going to be in his third Batman movie?
His country is crumbling and he’s all worried about Batman.
What a joke – no wonder they tell him to “Go fuck yourself.”
How did I get in this party of silly-ass children?

Michael Vick pleads guilty
While many people in and around the NFL are wondering if Atlanta Falcons quarterback Michael Vick ever will play in the league again, former Green Bay general manager Ron Wolf is wondering why not.
“If he pays his debt to society, why shouldn’t he get another chance?” asked Wolf, who was the engineer of Green Bay’s Super Bowl championship team in the 1996 season. “Maybe I don’t understand something in all of this, but you’re supposed to get a second chance in this country.”
Bart says: No, not for enjoying the killing of dogs.
Each time Vick set up a dog fight, he knew he’d have the “pleasure” of hanging or electrocuting the loser and that makes him a super-sick bastard.
I’ve commented on the fact that NO black man can achieve fame without whitey finding something to tarnish him with. From Cosby to Sharpton to Tyson to name-your-negro, the white press has dug up something for each and every black hero to be ashamed of and that’s the kind of racist country we live in – but this Vick has to go.
I keep thinking of Sen. Robert Byrd, who has addressed lawmakers often about his love for animals, shaking with emotion during a forceful condemnation of dogfighting.
“Barbaric,” shouted the senator. “Barbaric!”
Discredited Dan: “The Trouble with Touch Screens”
Rather needs to give this story to someone who’s not a laughingstock.

We’ll never forgive you for giving Bush a lifetime historical pass

Romney: Screw women’s rights
http://abcnews.go.com/Politics/story?id=3453601&page=1
Throughout his bid for the GOP’s 2008 presidential nod, Mitt Romney has called for overturning Roe v. Wade so that poor women can move to a pro-choice state if they find themselves pregnant. Rejecting a “one-size-fits all” approach to abortion, Romney has described his position as reflecting a “federalist approach,” whatever that means.
“My view is not to impose a single federal rule on the entire nation — a one-size-fits all approach — but instead allow states to decide is murder is murder,” Romney told the National Journal in its Feb. 9 issue.
It now appears, however, that if the super-rich Mormon succeeds in making pregnant women criminals, he would ultimately like to see two federal measures whose cumulative effect would be to curtail the ability of states from granting their women abortion rights.
So, he’s for state’s right up to the point that he’s not?
If men could get pregnant, abortion would be a sacrament.
Romney blasts Rudy for hiding illegals
In one of the strongest conflicts yet between fascist dogs, Mitt Romney attacked Rudy the Cross-Dresser Wednesday, implying that Giuliani supported illegal immigration when he was mayor of New York.
“If you look at lists compiled on Web sites of sanctuary cities, New York is at the top of the list when the Cross-Dresser was mayor,” Romney said. “He instructed city workers not to provide information to the federal government that would allow them to enforce the law. New York City was the poster child for sanctuary cities in the country.”
In June 1994, Giuliani decried anti-illegal immigration policies as unfair and hostile.
“Some of the hardest-working and most productive people in this city are undocumented aliens,” Giuliani said at the time. “If you come here and you work hard and you happen to be in an undocumented status, you’re one of the people who we want in this city. You’re somebody that we want to protect, and we want you to get out from under what is often a life of being like a fugitive, which is really unfair.”
Giuliani: ‘Leave my family alone’
It’s none of your business that I took my whore to church.
It’s none of your business that I screwed my whore when
my wife and kids were in the other room.
It’s none of your business if I’m the “family values” candidate
who’s Obama-liking daughter hates my third wife.
Rudy promised to leave OUR families alone – which is another lie.
Rudy Jackboot will continue Bush’s serial rape of the Constitution.
BTW, you know why Rudy’s not coughing?
Because Mr. Ground Zero spent a total of 29 hours down there,
yet he wants the cry babies with lung problems to “knock it off.”
If you think we need 8 years of “Giuliani Time,” vote for the Fascist,
but you might want to throw away your plunger.
