“Therein lies the defect of revenge: it’s all in the anticipation; the thing itself is a pain, not a pleasure; at least the pain is the biggest end of it.”

I know, oh the days of working in CD 5. Still waiting for Fawcett to run again.
too bad it was CD 5 is all I can say. I hope you have lots of success in Maine though.
you didn’t take our fiber, fruit and yogurt suggestion. You are still full of $hit.
I was watching cable news and suddenly there was the nauseating DeLay clip. Thanks for re-introducing into my head those revolting, nightmare images. And, by the way, what ever happened to the indictment?
The indictment still stands, although one of the charges has been dropped, but it hasn’t gone to trial yet.
Or maybe it did go to trial, and this was his punishment?
I guess in a couple years Dancing with the Stars will feature Bernie Madoff and Nancy Garrido. Think they’ll do the tango?
MY EYES! MY BRAIN! AAAARGH!
don’t you mean OUR punishment?
the best and worst sig line ever. AndI mean EVAH. 🙂

UFCW chieftain voted out
Perhaps the UFCW can now devote itself to representing the grocery workers, instead of the Duran family.
JP fundraising pitch, now in the spam folder:
The ‘internet survey’ is a self-selected group of hard right-leaning respondents, according to the ‘poll’ information, which notes:

who say America needs healthcare reform but do everything they can to prevent it are starting to be understood by thinking Americans.
A new NBC/WSJ Poll shows that Americans will blame Republicans if healthcare reform does not pass. This can’t be good news for heathcare hater propagandists like Josh “Flimflam Man” Penry. Evidently Americans are smarter than Penry’s Mesa County teabagger backers and see how flimsy Penry’s lies are. Americans blame the Penry crowd by nearly a 4 to 1 margin over those who blame President Obama for any reform failure. Of course, we all expect a very interesting year as we watch the R march to the political gallows.

In his last line he says that the budget problems we face at the state level are a short term challenge.

Let’s play a little game… Can you tell me what is different between the ads? One is from Calif, the other is from Maine.
Prop 8
Maine
They’re not even trying to be subtle, are they?
That’s ok, good fundraising fodder…
Off to hit the phones.
scotch tape + prayer?
my people call “making love.”
the “teacher” at the beginning of the ad is the State Director of Concerned Women for America in Maine.
If it really were about schools only, why are they not trying to amend their state constitution to prevent gay realtionships from being discussed in schools?
.
only difference I saw was the California one was introduced by someone from CA, and the Maine one introduced by someone from there.
what did I miss ?

You’re all over it.

now I get it.

I will own up to belligerence without the flag wrap. Excellent kickoff speech by the candidate for HD 28 (South Jeffco), Steve Harvey.

When he says something that might mean something to Joe Sixpack, let us know.
I’m sure he’ll be along shortly to tell us all why you’re wrong and he’s brilliant.
That will be about a 1000 word post….
Denver Broncos… Still Suck!
If we’re lucky, he’ll keep it that short.
1) Just what the world needs is another politician trying to be Sarah Palin. (I seem to remember another politician subjected to identical criticism not long ago…).
2) I’ll be sure to strive to be stupider and more condescending, so as not to offend you.
3) My shortest post was nothing but a period, probably the shortest on record on this, or any, blog.
4) And even that drove MOTR to respond with two red-faced rants in succession, complete with idle threats rationalized by my interaction with another poster, an interaction which had long-since ended when the other poster apologized and I accepted his apology.
See sig line below. Maybe it’s time to strive to be reasonable people of good will, rather than whatever it is you’re striving to be with all of this incessant nonsense of yours. Just a thought.
Thanks for replying to yet another comment that wasn’t made to you. Just writing about you prompts such interesting replies! My goodness, what an ego you have for such a middle aged lad.
And if you interpret my complete disdain for you as red-faced rants, you are going to have a tough time on the old door to door portion of your campaign, since you seem to have difficulty interpreting emotions and prefer to make things up whole cloth!
Have a great day and try and stop stalking me. It just makes you look even creepier.
Ciao for now!
And while you are at it, feel free to take your own advice.
That’s what I thought. (Now I’m “stalking you” by responding to a series of comments made about me? Whether you detect the blindly belligerent absurdity of that or not, no one else can fail to).
Keep stalking…
to merely be expressing your personal disdain for me, while I realize that the justification for that disdain is impeccable (my having pointed out long ago that your offer of advice did not obligate me to take it), why is it relevant to any dialogue that occurs here? This is a place for political discourse, not personal (and arbitrary) rancor.
You say I should take my own advice, yet it is not I who incessantly initiates these belligerent interactions. You say I am stalking you for responding exclusively to posts of yours that are either addressed to me or refer to me (for, other than that, you really are irrelevant to me), while you, conversely, feel compelled to express your personal disdain whenever I post here about anything (or, in this case, whenever anyone else posts about me), neither responding to your posts nor referring to you, even to the point of refusing to permit me to post anonymously if you recognize my writing style.
Who’s stalking whom?
Come on, Steve. Cut the crap. No one buys your martyr bullshit here.
Incessant is an excellent word to describe yourself. 🙂
Bye. I’m done. I just enjoy knowing that everyone at this site watches you show up, day after day, to only respond to me. I appreciate you reiterating my point about your stalking, obsessive behavior.
Just the simple facts. I only respond to you when you respond to me or write about me. You, on the other hand, respond to any mention of my name or whiff of my presence, and always with vitriolic diatribes. Not only do I not post “day after day, only in response to you,” but I have largely stopped posting at all because of these dynamics. Furthermore, I responded above to the four empty snipes toward me, only two of which were yours. I have not initiated one, not one, of these interactions with you. I’ve also reiterated several times that I have no hard feelings toward you whatsoever, while you have reiterited several times your “disdain” for me. These are all simple, irrefutable, facts.
Once again, I refer you to my sig line below.
I’ll refer you to my sig line, my angry little stalker.
Or exchange emails and insult each other that way. Leave the rest of us out of it.
Steve’s right. You brought him up. It’s not stalking if he responds, whether the comments about him were addressed to him or not.
Because apparently, he only replies to ME. Not to Ralphie. Odd, no? Considering that the last time he replied to me, it was also to a comment that wasn’t even made to him and he showed up 9 days later to address it.
And this is the guy running to represent us all in the State House. Yeah. Okay. Seems like a great choice to me, if you like obsessive compulsives who like to hold grudges.
in this case you were at the bottom of the thread. (Note that he first addressed all the posts about him in order) If there are times when Ralphie or someone else is at the bottom and he jumps upthread to respond to you, I’ll grant you that. But not now.
But you’re still wrong.
You’re projecting again, MOTR. Nothing would delight me more than for all of us to simply engage in political discourse here, without all of the personal attacks. I have no grudge toward anyone, and have never acted as though I do. Responding sharply to someone else’s ad hominem attacks is not a grudge, but rather a reaction. A grudge is in evidence when someone responds to every post by, or reference to, a particular person with ad hominem attacks and threats.
The problem with hatred is that it blinds people, and wipes away their capacity for reason. Your habitual vitriolic harrassment may be annoying, but I certainly have no cause to hate you: I really don’t know you. Momentary anger is one thing, but I find it amazing that some of you here are able to muster such hatred so easily and maintain it for so long! Now that’s a grudge!
But why isn’t he demanding a primary?
Guess Cantor really does believe in government programs as the best answer after all?
Not actually making light of this tremendous tragedy, my hometown of Austell was hardest hit. FYI, Georgia recieves $1.01 for every dollar they pay in federal taxes. Colorado receives 81 cents. The top three states that receive federal money are New Mexico, Mississippi and Alaska, $2.03, $2.02 and $1.84 respectively. Governor Perdue of Georgia is a Republican, but most Republicans down there drink lots of the Libertarian Kool-Aid. Housing down there is pretty cheap by Denver standards, so $250 million is pretty substantial.
http://www.nytimes.com/2009/09…
There’s a simple solution that doesn’t involve taxpayers bailing out the irresponsible Georgians: allow homeowners to buy insurance across state lines, tort reform, and co-ops. Until these bloodsucking flood victims stop turning to the federal government every time they lose their homes and property, they’ll never learn.
Mandate home insurance, penalize those who don’t pay home insurance, and in return you can drop the co-op idea. It’ll be more affordable, trust me…
The other option is to see what government programs you already qualify for, and if you still can’t pay for the damages, there’s always charity.
….and if they are in a designated flood zone, they have to have flood insurance.
Just like our house does, five feet above sea level.
Another Republican politician pulling poop from his chute.
surely he’ll agree
…should be shown on TV on their knees begging for that government check being held out to them, conditionally.

More mishaps in the shale gas plays:
Meanwhile, here closer to home, crews are still work to mitigate the oil and gas industry acid spill in Cochetopa Creek two weeks ago, which got no media attention in Colorado–not from the ‘Western Slope’s Paper of Record’ and no where else. The BLM issued a news release when it happened, and it quickly went down the memory hole.
A colleague sent me this follow up that he requested from BLM:
Meanwhile, attacking a recent poll that shows strong support for the FRAC Act, COGA spokesman Nate Strauch had this to say:

I didn’t think so (or else Josh Penry would be representing the wrong district).
Wouldn’t Wolf make better waste of his time campaigning in Schwartz’ district?
OTOH, what difference will it make…

That is truly horrific. Oh God, his poor family.
does it?
Fox says it will be Paul Kirk who is favored by the Kennedys.
Michael Dukakis would be a choice welcomed by the large and influential Greek community in Massachusetts. Patrick is facing a tough reelection challenge and can use the appointment to shore up his support.
… or we may have to see him in that tank again.
BTW, I ran into “the Duke” last year during the convention in the frozen foods section of Safeway at 6th and Corona.
from way back college days. And, Obama’s been weighing in and his choice is Kirk, which would be a good move for Patrick, as Kirk has been thick with the Kennedys’ for years and would be a safe choice that would keep pretty much all Dems happy. I can’t see Dukakis getting the nod. I just can’t.
