As Saturday Night Live's Church Lady squealed: "How conveeeeeeeeeeeeenient!!!" Seedy Golgotha doesn't testify until Thursday. Time for him to skip town?

Looks like McCain untends to 'fix' Medicare and Social Security by abolishing them.

I'm greatful and proud of VA's Democratic Gov, Tim Kaine. He's on his way home, cancelling his trip to Japan of all places, because of the Joe College Massacre. He knows his presence is needed. Unlike Bush, who partied on, havin' himself a grand old time dithering like a pussy after Katrina hit N'awlins.

Wonder if the non-stop coverage woulda happen if the college was all black and the gunman was black. I doubt it.

Hey, is today Columbine's Anniversary?

Posted by Seven of Six at April 16, 2007 03:47 PM

No it's April 20th.

Bush and Cheney are praying the VA Tech gunman was a married gay Iranian illegal immigrant abortionist that voted illegally in the last two general elections for Gore and Kerry.

Do I smell obstruction of justice in the air?

Coming soon, this month, the aniversary of the Murrah Federal Building and the Branch Dividians.
We must remember.

Now that Imus is gone, where are Democrats going to go to reach the independent white male? Imus was their only connection to this group of voters. Democrats as well as Republicans routinely visited with Imus to reach these people. Republicans have other ways to this demographic. Democrats seemedly do not. 2008 just around the corner and two Democrats, Sharpton and Jackson go after the person that gives their counterparts access to a key demographic. Paul Begala showed up on Wednesday morning trying one last time to connect on the Imus show.

Steve must really be desperate to drudge out Abramoff again. You people have been drudging out a lot of old news lately. Must not have very many positives happening right now. And y'all were the victors last November. Mitch McConnell is eating your lunch right now.

SOS thanks for the correction on Columbine. Trying to connect this event to that deminished those lost today. Friday is the day.

Sad day for VT, sad day for America. Leave the NRA out of this. It's a sad day for many. Let us morn for these people. Let us try to bring some comfort to these people, the victims and their families and friends. Or at least console them in their time of need.

What do you mean Judith? Obstruction of Justice? Which one? So much is out there?

What are police for if they can't go INSIDE and kill the killer instead of hanging outside, like fucks and listen to kids getting slaughtered. Happened like this at Columbine.

How can police be effective when so MANY are tubs of lard and can hardly move? Many of the good ol' Ginny boys were HUGE!

McCain says today that if elected, he’ll make the Bush tax cuts permanent and balance the budget by the end of his first term, fix Medicare and Social Security, and eliminate all pork barrel spending.

Will he bring me a pony, too? I hear he's been diggin' 'em up in Iraq.

Isn't this a little like McCain saying that if elected, he will fly under his own power to the top of the Washington Monument, where he will turn lead into gold?

Normally, when a man his age starts babbling about things like magical fairy dust or eliminating pork barrel spending kind people suggest that he sit down while they summon help.

"Sad day for VT, sad day for America. Leave the NRA out of this."

Peter, tell it to your Leader.

Mal, lost my head for a brief moment.

Just as a reminder, Gwen Ifill is no angel herself.

Well, that's the left's strategy for Iraq, right?

We can't fix Medicare. Time to cut and run.
