Lock arms with Ariana Huffington, surely you jest. I couldn't stand that woman for 10 seconds. On second thought 10 seconds is 12 too long.

Hmmmm….they want Biden out? I wonder who would replace him….at least with Biden we know what we have and nobody, I mean nobody takes him seriously. He could yell fire in a crowded theater and nobody would move, but his replacement could be someone very scary.

Cowboy Logic - October 15th, 2009 at 12:51 pm

Yes I jest; but anything that would help the Nation, no matter how unpleasant, I would do. I firmly support Arianna in her call for Biden to resign.

I do think she should set her sights higher and ask Barrack to resign. A powerful woman, of her stature, I'm sure they'd do it in a heartbeat!

Gary__K - October 15th, 2009 at 1:15 pm

"A powerful woman"

She lifts weights? Maybe she is so powerful because of all of the chips she has on her sholders.

If Biden is removed, guess who we get stuck with??? Nancy Pelousey!

Any news about Obama's Birth Certificate situation? I thought there was to be a court hearing in Kaleephorneeah.

Cowboy Logic - October 15th, 2009 at 1:44 pm

Gregory,
Ya gott love those Crazy "Birthers". How crazy are they, as crazy as Van Jones' "Truthers"?
http://canadafreepress.com/index.php/article/1578...

"Meanwhile, taxpayers have picked up the tab for over $1.5 MILLION in Obama legal defense fees, used to keep Obama’s birth certificate, his school and college records, his passport and travel records and his law practice files Top Secret. So far, the “transparent president” is anything but “transparent.” He is the ONLY president in US history to hide his entire past.
Now, how reasonable is Obama’s behavior, and how unreasonable is the behavior of the so-called “birther?”

Cowboy Logic - October 15th, 2009 at 1:48 pm

The Washington Times has reported some news.
CON-gress has just disgraced itself, and US again. They have stolen 2.6 Billion from the Defense Budget. This is money that should have gone to provide for our troops, in harms way. It is the ultimate disgrace. Part of it went for 20 million for Teddy Kennedy. I wonder, will they build the Teddy Kennedy Memorial Water Park?

Fortunately, a woman has emerged as a direct challenger to Obama's 2012 Democratic Presidential Nomination:

Or maybe she just has a powerful odor about her?

Can we substitute Obama for Napolean and Gitmo for St Helena? Just as thought!

Gregory - October 15th, 2009 at 4:02 pm

Cowby L: Thanks for the link from the CFP regarding Birthers & Truthers. I printed it out, 7 pages. This non-compliance issue regarding Obama's birth certificate is obviously a conspiracy, as many people or groups were involved with the cover-up.

The idea of truth seeking is a natural thing of our mind functions….Our minds are Truth-Seeking entities.

As a retired electrician and "bible-thumper kind of", my saying is that:
"Lies are in Series, and Truth in Parallel"

Therefore, Obama & Friends are "hooked up" with The Father of Lies, The literal Satan, named Lucifer. In addition, Obama & Friends have their conscience(s) seared, as with a hot iron.

So the Tactical Question is: How do we stop any chronic liar, who believes his own Lies, and has No Conscience? We need a Behavior Control Unit to profile this, 1st or do we, as maybe my input is enough to go on.

Obama's 2001 Coup Fails http://www.usofearth.com/2011-obamas-coup-fails.p...
Private ownership of firearms has been outlawed, and Obama promises a new era of equality and peace. Unfortunately for Obama, Americans will not act like the sheep he has taken them for. Revolution begins. Over 20 million armed American citizens begin seizing local and federal government buildings and officials.

USArmyMom - October 15th, 2009 at 4:13 pm

Chaos ensues throughout the nation! The Second American Revolution is in full swing by February of 2011, with lists posted by patriots, county by county, naming dozens of government employees and the bounties that can be fetched by their capture. After 7 weeks of fighting in every state, and with the refusal of most United States military branches to obey orders to fire upon American citizens, Obama's forces are slowly whittled away. The remnants of the Obama loyalists retreat to Virginia. After tens of thousands of their troops are killed, The International Service Union Empire (I.S.U.E.) has just 40,000 left, but still controls three full counties in the name of former President Barack Hussein Obama… Or so they think. The Congress of Rejected and Neglected Youth (C.O.R.N.Y.) controls three counties near Washington D.C., with reports of having at least 60,000 loyalists for Obama.

USArmyMom - October 15th, 2009 at 4:19 pm

then O could name a new vp – no, thanks

USArmyMom - October 15th, 2009 at 5:10 pm

And everytime anyone in the media brings it up, they are labeled "crazy".
And I always thought it was odd, knowing that Obama wouldn't even be able to pass a regular FBI background check, but yet still get in the White House??!! Just more grist for the mill for the BIG ARREST day. Hey Andrew, how about making a list of all of Obama and his thugs corruptions, just list them out, 1,2,3,…and on and on…because there are so many that the average citizen can't read in detail all the articles, but they could read a list. Sort of like Letterman's top ten list, but obviously, this would be much longer than 10.

I'm thinking a Conga Line with everyone wearing purple SEIU t-shirts and Obama Logos painted on their forheads while dancing to Abba's "Waterloo" would be more fun.

RE: The Baucus Bill

Given that the Baucus Bill promises future benefits that it cannot possible deliver, we should just call it what it is: A Ponzi Scheme.

Cowboy Logic - October 15th, 2009 at 12:32 pm

Speaking of St. Helena and Napoleon,
On this anniversary, I believe that everyone on the right should promote peace and harmony, and join with our citizens on the left in total Unity. We should all unanimously support Arianna Huffington at the Huffington Post, where she has called for Joe Biden to resign. It would be a step in the right direction. I never though I would agree with Arianna Huffington, but I do today. We could all lock arms and sing kum-bye-a. Who knows, it could be a healing step in the right direction. Perhaps the start of a new movement with a slogan: "Biden Today, Barrack Tomorrow………."

I love that song (it;'s a family favrotie – my siblings and I inevitably burst into song with it at family gatherings):

Come mister tally man, tally me banana,
Daylight come and me wanna go home,
Come mister tally man, tally me banana,
Daylight come and me wanna go home.

Day-o, me say day-o,
Daylight come and me wanna go home.

Didn't Bernie Maddof just go to the hoosegow for running a Ponzi Scheme? I thought the SEC and the Federales' said that was a no-no? I wish they'd make up their minds!

debcal - October 15th, 2009 at 7:42 pm

Quite right, friendo. But here's the big stinking problem: The Government does not follow proper accounting practices (i.e. true accrual accounting) which is required of the private sector. Our government puts Bernie, Enron, Worldcom, and the rest of the book cookers to shame.

As our enemies have found we can reason like men, so now let us show them we can fight like men also.
– Thomas Jefferson

Let us Pray that there never is a real Second American Revolution. If that day ever does come, Well then lock and load my fellow Americans. Never give up the right to bear arms. The 2nd Amendment is the enforcement clause of the Bill of Rights and the Constitution. We are Americans and we shall not go quietly into the night.

Update on Borats birth certificate: they are express mailing it, DHL from Kenya.

Cowboy Logic - October 16th, 2009 at 2:23 am

There have been rumors to that effect of late.
But look on the bright side; will it be binding and enforceable? I don't know. Washington has broken every treaty it has signed with the Indians for the past two hundred plus years, why wouldn't this be any different?

Excuse my insensitivity: Native Americans……….

Impeach and Exile!

Chisten - October 16th, 2009 at 2:57 am

These are good…. in three parts
These are from a book called 'Disorder in the American Courts' and are things people actually said in court, word for word, taken down and now published by court reporters that had the torment of staying calm while these exchanges were actually taking place.

ATTORNEY: This myasthenia gravis, does it affect your memory at all?
WITNESS: Yes.
ATTORNEY: And in what ways does it affect your memory?
WITNESS: I forget
ATTORNEY: You forget? Can you give us an example of something you forgot?
ATTORNEY: Now doctor, isn't it true that when a person dies in his sleep, he doesn't know about it until the next morning?
WITNESS: Did you actually pass the bar exam?

ATTORNEY: The youngest son, the twenty-year-old, how old is he?
WITNESS: He's twenty, much like your IQ.

ATTORNEY: Were you present when your picture was taken?
WITNESS: Are you sh*tting me?

ATTORNEY: So the date of conception (of the baby) was August 8th?
WITNESS: Yes.
ATTORNEY: And what were you doing at that time?
WITNESS: Getting laid

chisten - October 16th, 2009 at 2:59 am

part 2
ATTORNEY: She had three children, right?
WITNESS: Yes.
ATTORNEY: How many were boys?
WITNESS: None.
ATTORNEY: Were there any girls?
WITNESS : Your Honor, I think I need a different attorney. Can I get a new attorney?

ATTORNEY: How was your first marriage terminated?
WITNESS: By death.
ATTORNEY: And by whose death was it terminated?
WITNESS: Take a guess.

ATTORNEY: Can you describe the individual?
WITNESS: He was about medium height and had a beard.
ATTORNEY: Was this a male or a female?
WITNESS: Unless the Circus was in town I'm going with male.

Chisten - October 16th, 2009 at 3:00 am

part 3
ATTORNEY: Is your appearance here this morning pursuant to a deposition notice which I sent to your attorney?
WITNESS: No, this is how I dress when I go to work.

ATTORNEY: Doctor, how many of your autopsies have you performed on dead people?
WITNESS: All of them. The live ones put up too much of a fight.

ATTORNEY: ALL your responses MUST be oral, OK? What school did you go to?
WITNESS: Oral.

ATTORNEY: Do you recall the time that you examined the body?
WITNESS: The autopsy started around 8:30 pm.
ATTORNEY: And Mr. Denton was dead at the time?
WITNESS: If not, he was by the time I finished.

ATTORNEY: Are you qualified to give a urine sample?
WITNESS: Are you qualified to ask that question?

Chisten - October 16th, 2009 at 3:00 am

And the best for last: (I was wrong part 4)

ATTORNEY: Doctor, before you performed the autopsy, did you check for a pulse?
WITNESS: No..
ATTORNEY: Did you check for blood pressure?
WITNESS: No.
ATTORNEY: Did you check for breathing?
WITNESS: No.
ATTORNEY: So, then it is possible that the patient was alive when you began the autopsy?
WITNESS: No.
ATTORNEY: How can you be so sure, Doctor?
WITNESS: Because his brain was sitting on my desk in a jar.
ATTORNEY: I see, but could the patient have still been alive, nevertheless?
WITNESS: Yes, it is possible that he could have been alive and practicing law.

THINK ABOUT IT! MOST MEMBERS OF CONGRESS ARE LAWYERS.. OH GOD, PLEASE HELP US ALL!

Absolutely. I sent a note to Drudge, but they surely already knew about it.

Have you heard O' s speech in San Francisco, its just what a Bully would order. It had echoes of Germany. Also, he is sloppy with Healthcare details, because he not interested. Why? Only Power, Votes, Spreading Your Wealth are Key. This is a Welfare Program, Give Illegals and the Low class Free healthcare with your Premium & Taxes and they will Vote for him. Its Just That Simple!!

Wiekszosc ludzi slyszac slowo „odchudzanie” wyobraza sobie mordercze diety, ktore doprowadzaja ludzi do obledu
lub ciezkie cwiczenia na silowni. Tymczasem okazuje sie, iz wcale nie gorsze efekty daje noszenie odpowiedniej
bielizny. Na rynku furore robi tak zwana bielizna wyszczuplajaca, ktora stala sie jednym z najbardziej oczekiwanych produktow
przez polskie kobiety pracujace, nie majace czasu na wielogodzinne treningi czy przygotowywanie specjalnych jadlospisow. Producenci widzac tak ogromne
zainteresowanie przyszykowali dla swoich klientek okazala liste rzeczy, ktore po nalozeniu sprawiaja, iz kobieta zyskuje bardziej
smukla i zgrabna sylwetke. I tak panie chcace ukryc niepotrzebne kilogramy siegaja po wyszczuplajace gorsety, rajstopy,
pasy, bielizna korygujaca czy bielizne antycellulitowa. Wszystko to ku uciesze sprzedawcow, ktorzy zacieraja rece na mysl o dochodach
jakie plyna do ich kieszeni dzieki modzie na bycie szczuplym. Takie sa jednak odwieczne prawa biznesu – chcesz cos miec, musisz odpowiednio zaplacic!
