The Chair of the Arkansas Democratic Party gets gunned down and nary a mention over here!

I see Code Pink just "loves" the "Mini Getmo" Democrats had built in Denver for the DNC. My wonder is Why? If America just loves Obama, Why? This isn't 'change' is it?

Let's replace "Getmo" with Gitmo.

Julia Child a spy? Who would have ever thought.

Julia Child shared a secret with Supreme Court Justice Arthur Goldberg and Chicago White Sox catcher Moe Berg at a time when the Nazis threatened the world.

They served in an international spy ring managed by the Office of Strategic Services, an early version of the CIA created in World War II by President Franklin Roosevelt.

Hey Judith, even spies gotta eat!

No really, this was old news, I heard about this like 20 years ago.

Anyone else not surprised goatboy wants to celebrate the death of a Dem at the hands of one of goatblowers' deranged brethren? Two shootings over lost jobs in a month. Wonder what Johnson wrote on the wall of the Target to get the shooter fired. A swastika? "Death to Dems?" It had to be something pretty bad, but then, anything that spews from a 'puke is always pretty bad.

I saw a debate yesterday about whether Republicanism is a mental illness or a character flaw or both. I'd say both.

So, the FBI's case against Ivins as the anthrax killer falls apart. Maybe they should have waited for the DNA results before killing their suspect.

Speaking of California and how there's gonna be 600% more old people... the scientists say it's a 99% chance The Big One is gonna hit CA in the next 30 years.

Wonder what that's gonna be like.

We're just waiting to see what brand of republi-con the shooter was: Evangelical; Hawk; Homosexual; Wife Beater; Pro Life. You know, just the basic information you want about any murderous republi-con.


Republicanism is a mental illness or a character flaw

The old Nature/Nurture debate! I think nurture. They are against social programs until they lose their own healthcare, lose their own job, or someone they love ends up with a severe illness and they get firsthand experience with the same. Then their tune changes really fast. And no one changes their tune faster than a republi-con on the skids.

I don't know about that phid... my ischemic stroke stricken sister is still holding party line... amazing if you ask me... they have never done nothing for her... doesn't even own a house, stocks, lives paycheck to paycheck... but is an active memeber in her church. Hey, when your poor in CA, she has to lean on something.

Just as long as there aren't 60 million living in the state by 2050...

Posted by wilder at August 14, 2008 09:07 AM

After scanning the article, I'm pleased to know that only 55 million will be projected to live in the state.

phidipides, I fixed your sentence: "We're just waiting to see what brand of republi-con the shooter was: Evangelical; Hawk; CLOSETED Homosexual...."

That's ok GV, the Democratic platform removed any reference to gays and lesbians. They don't exist anywhere on the platform all for Obama's pleasure.

The shooter wasn't attacking the party, more the person's day job capacity, but, you fine people already know that, and still want to trash this unfortunate event into something politically sick.
