As many of you know, the Republicans staged a so-called “walkout” in protest of the House Democrats not
protecting Americagiving telecommunication companies immunity for breaking the law. However, the walk-out, where they just happened to all run into the same bank of podiums with camera crews standing by, was nothing more than a K-street production for an ad campaign against Democrats.Unfortunately, Americans are not as dumb as the Republicans think.
Last week there were complaints about the singer being fully clothed. “You complain, we respond.”
Also, for those wondering what I look like – basically identical to the male lead singer in this video
They’re clearing two full shelves on which to place the unabridged and annotated edition of “My Pet Goat” plus a large assortment of coloring books.
I read this, went huh, read it again – and couldn’t stop laughing for 2 minutes. Well said.
You know full well that Bush has more than two shelves of books. There are dozens more that he hasn’t finished coloring yet.
Not to mention a 40-year collection of Frat Boy Illustrated, including the famous swimsuit edition that featured Condi Rice.
Yeesh, give the man a little credit will you?
Especially the Spy vs. Spy cartoons. I have a book on Middle Eastern history I would be willing to loan…
…it’s been reported by a family friend who has stayed with the senior Bushes that the only book he could find when he had insomnia was one of fart jokes.
that it wasn’t a talking book!
Do you recall the minor uproar about a year ago? Seems that Bush would fart in front of new interns to see what their reaction was.
A real classy guy, that president.
With the March 15 county convention approaching it was time to make a choice. my vote in the CD-2 primary will be for…
Ahhh, but you overlooked Ted Stevens (R/ Fossil-Alaska) who just filed for re-election yesterday and has reached the conclusion that the Internet is “a collection of tubes.”
Is I think he actually was showing a good interpretation of how the net works. But he comes across as such an angry old geezer that it was easy to make fun of it and everyone assumed he was totally out to lunch.
I haven’t made my choice yet, but I think you framed the indecision I’m facing well. I’m more concerend with who’ll bring a different approach to the same old game, and I’m leaning toward the same conclusion.
The Eagle County Democrats meet tomorrow night to choose delegates. I think this is the first county to hold its assembly.
Fitz-Gerald and Polis will be speaking.
We will know soon who got the most delegates from Eagle as they will be doing some sort of poll for CD 2.
If Polis gets one more delegate than Fitz-Gerald his team will have a press release out tomorrow night.
Ok, please take a look at David Thielen for State and CD-2 Delegate and let me know what you think.
Would love any constructive critisism at david_at_thielen_dot_com
thanks – dave
Not enough pictures of scantily-clad girls from former Soviet republics. And you need some bubble-gum music.
Nader has announced that he is making a 3rd bid for the Presidency.
and comments about Mrs. Kucinich.
In the overall, how true. He gave the White House to Bush. He will only suck votes from Obama, not McCain. What an egotistical jerk.
The magazine, The Nation, in its March 3rd issue has an article describing the natal network which crosses country border to promote white christian births. Fascinating. Puts all the “secular Europe is dying” verbiage on this blog finally into a context. The article is “U.S. Christian Conservatives warn of a looming demographic winter in Europe.” Author is Kathryn Joyce. I don’t think it is avaiable on line..might check out: http://www.thenation.com. I intend to source it if that silly argument returns to this blog.
so does Japan: so does China. This is not a “christian” problem.
The US is in the best postion based on births plus we have the best mechanism for interalizing immigrants.
I am not denying the existence of a demographic shift which puts Caucasian populations and Japanese population below replacement rate. China’s problem is explained by their “One baby” rule. The article describes a christian movement in northern europe and the US which attributes this birth dearth to “secularism” and promotes the idea that white christians need to have more children. I don’t see it as a christian problem; this movement does and seeks to exploit the population decline for its own political purposes. Its propaganda echos what I have read here about the “decline of Christian Europe” due to secularism. That is it. That is all.

White Europeans, populations down.
Immigrants, mostly Muslim, populations up.
There are two ways to reverse this trend, if it matters. One is to make more European babies. The other is to halt the immigration of the non-Europeans.
The folks in the article are advocating the first. That is their opinion and their right.
Japan is an interesting case because while the demographics of age are shifting rapidly, the immigrant population is small, temporary, and well monitored. The biggest variable of all in Europe does not exist.
As to the fear of fallow fields, I would say not to worry, there will be plenty of Muslims to work them!
People between the age of 25-55 are the productive parts of society, They pay more in taxes than they take out and their labor adds to the GNP.
Kids and the AARP need to be supported by a large pool of workers. If you can do it through birth great, but if you can’t immigration is a great tool to keep your demographic pyramid the correct shape.
Should immigration be subject to rules? Of course, but it an important part of keeping the pyramid the correct shape.
The US has many advantages demographically, we have the advantage of the highest birth rate of any developed nation, a neighbor that is not that culturally dissimilar that wants to provide immigrants and a mythology that allows for the intigration of immigrants.
Japan on the other hand is xenophobic, korean families that immigrated in the first part part of the 20th century are still not considered “Japaneese”. Japan will never be able to fill their demographic hole with immigrants. The low birth rates show no sign of reversing, property is so expensive that household formation is delayed well into people’s 30’s for reasons of living space, not choice. On the other hand the Japaneese’s healthy lifestyle and strong medical system is pushing longevity out making their demographics even worse.
Europe’s problem is they do not know how to intigrate immigrants which leads to ghetto (in the original use of the term) that breed discontent and malcontents.
I take our demographic and immigration problems anyday.
Immigration,whether to us or any other country is, bottom line, cheap labor. (Also keeps the cultural gene pool stirred up, but the lack of it hasn’t seemed to hurt the Japanese.)
To say that we need immigrants to support old people is a Ponzi scheme. What happens when those cheery, hardworking immigrants start cashing in their SS and showing up in nursing homes? More Cheap Labor immigrants?
No, our entire economic models are in for some serious bone cracking, I think. People will have to work much later in life. (Ugh. I’m just in time for that!) We will have to find technological solutions to labor issues. Japan is way ahead of us there. Someone on this site pointed out quite awhile ago that cheap labor removes the impetus for new technologies. Indeed it does.
I’ll bet a strawberry picking machine could be made, and not too expensively. Man, the things we can do now with robotics and sensors. But why would anyone do this when you can hire Jose for a few dollars an hour?
El Paso County was supposed to have their County Assembly yesterday. Did we fill all of the legislative races there with candidates? Has a Dem come forward yet to run for Congress for CD5?
Enquiring minds want to know!
http://www.gazette.com/article…
according to the Colo Sec’y of State’s website.
Nice lady, no chance.
Well, maybe if Bruce wins his primary.
Hal Bidlack, Dem candidate for CD-5, spoke and was quite impressive. I don’t know about the rest of El Paso’s results – I heard they had a huge crowd, and I know that Anna Lord is running again for state HD21.
Huge turnout for the Fremont Dems, too.
I did not know that Anna was running again.
