….please, Repubs of Pols, tell me this election year that you’re Party isn’t a collection of corporate whores:
Colorado GOP to sue to lift campaign money limits
Colorado Republicans will sue to overturn voter-approved state limits on some campaign contributions after a U.S. Supreme Court ruling Thursday that tossed out restrictions on corporate involvement in federal races
http://www.denverpost.com/ci_1…
Yeah, I forgot – Repubs are all about the will of the people, unless it cuts them off from the dump-truck full of corporate cash.
That’s kind of like a pickup truck, isn’t it?
I must concur with Rush, and vouch for everyone who drives one. Our values are impeccable.
Because if there is one thing that drivers of pick up trucks share, at least sometimes, is the need to haul stuff around. And that makes us real Americans.
Well, except for all the pick up (or or ‘peek oop’ as I have heard them called in other lands) drivers around the world including the Taliban who like to ride around in Toyotas, and in Democratic states, unless they are Massachusetts in January 2010–in which case we all have to embrace the wisdom of 52% of turned out voters there, and declare the minority party the new majority party.
Now if Rush would just get out of his limo– after his man servant opens the door, of course–and shoehorn his posterior into a pick up (probably need to be at least an F350) then he too might bask in the glow and credibility of ‘pick up driver’ status.
Then he might be worth listening to for more than entertainment (in the manner that picking at a scab is entertaining).
I had assumed that all of the contributors on CO Pols drove pick ups. All the time. You mean some of you don’t? Pshaw.
(I use my pick up to haul my ego around. What do you use yours for?)
n/t
I have lived with pick-up truck drivers (Philippines, Colorado) and with limo riders (DC).
The pick-up truck drivers are usually busy earning a living and hoping to become rich. The limo riders, from both sides of the aisle, seem to have lots of time to micromanage my life.
Rush, like me, started out middle class and has bounced around between well-off and poor. I almost failed to graduate from College; he and Bill Gates dropped out altogether.
My limo riding Republican friends have never liked him (“too coarse” or “too sarcastic”). Limo riders from both sides of the aisle resent his hard work and determination; his example shows how fat and lazy they have become.
They need to leave DC, rejoin the real world, and start working hard like the rest of us.
cost more than $3500 (other than my wife’s, which cost $8000), never driven a limo, have earned and lived on an average annual income over my adult life that is lower than just about anyone’s you know, have worked very hard and with great determination on things that are important to me, have never resented hard work and determination in others, and don’t want to micromanage your life.
I do, however, recognize that your actions (and mine) affect others, that we have an interdependent existence on this Earth, and that it is very much incumbent on us to carefully arrange the terms of our coexistence in order to maximize the individual liberty and well-being of each and every one of us.
Are you okay with others trespassing on your land, let’s say taking a crap on your front porch? No? It’s not micromanaging their lives to say they can’t? Then neither is it micromanaging their lives to say they can’t poison the air I breathe or the water I drink, for instance (something actually more invasive and detrimental to my rights than taking a crap on my front porch).
It would help if people would stop pretending that their handful of shallow ideological platitudes are the answer to every question, and would start joining the effort to get it right (which includes actually thinking about what “getting it right” might mean).
Rush Limbaugh is not a limo rider?
Rush Limbaugh is not fat?
What color is the sky where you come from?
But he’s lost a bunch of weight. The “Fat….drug addled….” thing is beneath most of you guys.
and the poster I was responding to specifically contrasted Limbaugh with fat people.
Can corporations now vote? Isn’t that the logical extension of this insane decision? Oh no, Mtn High! How silly! Corporations don’t have arms to pull voting booth levers!
BINGO! Then why the hell are they, for political purposes, considered people?
This is amazingly dangerous territory we are now in. EVERYONE needs to realize that giving corporations or unions this much unfettered political money mobility is going to accelerate the slide of our Union. USA RIP.
…Then they should be subject to the death penalty when their actions kill people.
from Cenk Uygur
I tend not to be too course on the blog and swear like a sailor in real life, but this is EXACTLY what we should be doing on finance reform.
🙂
But Cenk is spot fucking on. and if DT8 posted cause he agrees- he is too.
Could not possibly agree more.
R’s are and want to be rich, and don’t care if everyone else has to be poor in order to make that happen. Keep the working poor both, destroy the middle class as long as the cash is flowing up and then move it all off shore.
This:
“I’m a history buff,” he said. “I love the Museum of Natural History.”
No, really.
Even smart people say slightly dumb things all the time. I don’t know yet if he’s one of them or not, but I don’t doubt that he’s a history buff, and it’s entirely possible that he had some other museum in mind. No biggie.
Perhaps the WaPost writer got the quote wrong:
Win!
mine is a 1977. the odometer quit working around 200,000 miles and that was in the 1990’s.
it is not shiny and black and it is only one of three vehicles I own. Unlike Brown who owns upwards of 7 vehicles.
Can I get elected too?
If it was something classy you may still have a shot.

According to http://www.hepg.org/her/abstra… it’s estimated to be 11K/year while the state average for NY is 14K/year.
there is a big price difference on everything from rent to food in NYC v. Canada

I’ve got to go in a few minutes and I want to post one.
Next time shoot me an email if you’re trying to find me–it’s in my profile.
Air America was the so-called Progressive Network started in 2004 in an attempt to counter the Rush Limbaugh’s etc.
It never was a go financially and announced that it was ceasing broadcasting today. The local station which carried some Air America programs was Clear Channel’s 760AM. In Denver, that means that Ron Reagan and Rachael Maddox will no longer heard. Although given 760’s short range, I don’t know who was able to hear them, anyway.
Predictions:
1) Dave Sirota, (AM760 7am-10am) will continue to be a “star” on clear channel. Despite his “pure” stand against corporations, he continues to enjoy the perks of one of the largest corporate media companies. Ironically, David’s “principled stand against regular Democrats” is consistent with Republican strategy of “divide and conquer.” Thank you, David, thank you very much.
2) David Harsanyi will be on caplis/silverman today to discuss his column attacking Bennet. C/S will say that Bennet was invited to come on the show; but he declined and no one from the Democrat party would accept the invitation.
Neither Maddow nor Reagan were on prime-time; I liked Maddow’s show, but it has been increasingly sounding like the MSNBC radio re-broadcast. Hopefully both will find a new syndicated path to the air.
Of the other hosts, Thom Hartmann had been on AAR, but apparently was independently syndicated a while back. Ed Schultz is on Jones Radio Network, and Randi Rhodes is also independently syndicated. Drive-time shows Sirota and Mario Solis Marich are both local. Early morning host Bill Press is also on Jones Radio, IIRC.
I asked about AM760 yesterday and was wondering how this affected local programming.
Install it immediately. I have heard unofficially from some friends at Microsoft that this fixes something that their security people are very scared about.
go with Mozilla or something else
Microsoft investigates 17-year-old Windows flaw
Reports have surfaced about a new security hole that has been in Windows since the release of Windows NT 3.1 on July 27, 1993. The vulnerability is present in all 32-bit versions of Windows released since then, including all supported versions: Windows 2000, Windows XP, Windows Server 2003, Windows Vista, Windows Server 2008, and Windows 7. Microsoft has issued Security Advisory (979682) to address the elevation of privilege vulnerability in the Windows kernel, making sure to note that 64-bit versions of Windows, including Windows Server 2008 R2, are not affected.

And the solution?
“Despite the fact that there is no patch available from Microsoft, Ormandy decided to publish the information because he believes the workaround is simple enough: disable the MS-DOS subsystem.”
My solution?
I’d like to congratulate the Daily Kos community for continuing their ShelterBox charity drive. As of this evening, the dKos community has raised more than $100,000 in ShelterBox donations – that’s over 100 boxes, each containing a 10-person partitioned tent, water bottles and purification tablets for 10 for 6 months, mosquito netting, a multi-fuel stove, dishes and utensils, blankets, rope, tools, and stuff for the kids.
3,000 of these boxes have been committed to Haiti, and more are being packed and committed; hundreds are up in tent cities already, and two sets of 10 tents each have been put up as emergency hospitals.
It’s a drop in the bucket to what’s needed, but it still feels good to have done something…
