Oh looky here, they can't get any mileage out of calling us "pinkos" & "comsymps" so naturally we'll be tagged insurgents.
It's gorilla warfare.
Posted by degustibus at August 8, 2006 05:15 PMShit! I think I'll grab a beer and toast my new found status. The English thought of the true patriots as insurgents a few hundred years ago. So...patriot, loyal American, defender of the Constitution, and now insurgent. Fine with me! And a hearty "Fuck You!" to all you neo-cons and republi-cons. Get your head out from between the Mad Kings sweat-soured flabby thighs and start acting like Americans, you worthless Tory bastards.
Posted by phidpides at August 8, 2006 05:19 PMSorry to be off topic. Early returns show Lamont leading:
Six years after Democrats backed him for vice president, Lieberman was trailing with 43 percent, or 7,199 votes, to political novice Ned Lamont's 57 percent, or 9,399 votes, with just 6 percent of precincts reporting.

Is this an update to commie pinko faggot loving liberals?
Posted by Judith at August 8, 2006 06:33 PMThanks Phidipides. I don't have cable, and the MSM isn't reporting returns yet. I have to tell ya, if Lieberman is defeated, I will feel hopeful and empowered for the first time in a very long time. However, still holding breath.
Posted by Judith at August 8, 2006 06:36 PMNewt wants us to dress up like terrorists and dump gasoline in the harbor? Sorry, it's too damn expensive, bad for the environment, and the Police would not understand that we are GOOD insurgents.
The walls of the pipeline are paper thin in some places? I'm glad they weren't in charge of maintaining something with national security implications. Maybe Dubai Ports can fix it.

Hey, I just flushed a tea bag.

Yes. I perceive it to be a seminal moment in American politics. This election is where the electorate may display they have finally had enough of the chicken hawks. There are several important primarys around the county, but I think Lieberman is the most important of these because of not only the Iraq war but also his stand on social security. I think that stand is highly under-investigated with the electorate, but I perceive it to be at least as large a contibutor as the war if he is defeated.
Posted by phidipides at August 8, 2006 06:53 PMTIKI, Watching news reports tonight, NBC stated that, "the maintenance procedure known as pigging the line was not done in over 10 years." Well it's pretty obvious if you do not do regular PM you'll have sludge build up and thus corrosion can set in the lines. This is neglect plain and simple.
Posted by Seven of Six at August 8, 2006 06:59 PM7: I used to drive a new pickup from Milwaukee to Valdez every year on 1128 miles of gravel for my brother-in-law who worked on the pipeline. I crawled inside that pipe and couldn't believe how thick it was. We thought it would last longer than this.
Let me know if you spot the Baseline rapist, there is still $100,000 reward left.
