Pile On

Call your congress critter... No relief for Wall Streeters without (1) National Health Care *NOW* (and not some crappy health insurance company second rate thing)
(2) An end to the tax loopholes for corporations and the wealthy... all of them.
(3) End to all foreign tax credits, until we get our house in order.

Take action

 Go here and type in your zip code and send a letter to your congress critters opposing the financial bailout  unless it
(1) establishes regulations to prevent this from happening again,
(2) requires substantial forfeitures from the banks who made this mess,
(3)  provides relief to individuals at risk of losing their homes, and
(4) matches the cost with raising taxes on individuals with income above $250,000.


I, Nounman, will *not* be on the radio tomorrow

I just want everyone to know that I, Nounman, will *not* be on the radio tomorrow, or any other time in the near future.  I and other members of the Partsofspeach family will be gathering outside KRXA540.com to protest the obvious bias favoring Articleman.  We will later go and toilet paper Participleman's house as he has abandoned us.  Right now Geurndwoman and Adjectiveman are working on signs.  Verb and Adverb are having a little spat.  Things are chaotic.  Prepositionalphrasefamily forgot to bring the Pizza.  It is a typical protest disaster, but we will work it out!  Brother-and-sisterhood!

Don't recommend this post if you think Sarah Palin is the best candidate!

Sarahcuda Contest!

Count UP Count Down

Here is a link to a Sarah Palin Counter since being selected and stalling the national news.


Offended and Demand Action

Dear TPM Management,
There have been posts here with the "fake pregnancy" claim.  I cannot imagine that any true Democrats would make them.  I assume, it is the only reasonable assumption, that they are sabotage from right wing trolls.

Please hunt out these posts and ban the posters.

Thank you.

Sorry to not freak out over Palin

It seems like some offenses are worse...

Whatever happened to the first amendment?

McCain Believes in Yesterday

Yesterday, all John's troubles seemed so far away
Now it looks as though they're here to stay
Oh, John believes in yesterday.

Suddenly, he's not half the man he used to be,
There's a shadow hanging over him.
Oh, yesterday came suddenly.

Why voters had to go I don't know they wouldn't say.
He said something wrong, now John longs for yesterday.

Yesterday, Rove was such an easy game to play.
Now McCain's place is a hide away.
Oh, John believes in yesterday.

Mm mm mm mm mm mm mm.

ONE HALF YEAR OF THIS NIGHTMARE LEFT!

2 quarters
6 months
182 days
4368 hours
262,080 minutes
15,724,800 seconds

Not that I am counting.  But gawd it has been a long slog.  We are rounding the last quarter.  Can someone keep Darth Cheney in the closet long enough so that we get out of this nightmarish administration without a war with Iran?  What else will they screw up in the next six months?  Will Mexico and Canada build border fences to keep us out?

We can survive it.  Yes We Can!

Creative avatar challenge

Okay Genghis, Ben, Cricket, one eyed folks, here it is the one and only creative avatar challenge!

Enough of this politix!

OMG We Might Disagree

Can you imagine that we might disagree?  What an idea.  I am absolutely certain that everyone here that doesn't agree with every one of my statements is a troll, a republican, or, even worse, an invader from kos. 

Of course, it didn't used to be that way.  We used to live in a democracy.  Disagreement was "part of the process."  But now it is treasonous disloyal unpatriotic heresy.

Our candidate is so hopelessly encumbered with shortcomings, that even the most minor expression of opinion by a meaningless participant blogger on a relatively low traffic website is bound to upset the whole thing.

We are, after all, the party of losers and no ideas.  We use fear mongering, fairy tales and  pseudo hero worship to make up for our ... wait, sorry, that's the other party.  No matter, we don't ever have a chance so we certainly have to fall in line and do just what the authorities tell us.

So, for ralphsake NEVER disagree with what our candidate says.  NEVER disagree among each other.  NEVER let anyone, including yourself, know you have the least doubt about positions you have opposed your whole life.  FALL IN LINE.  BE OBEDIENT!

Thank you.

Time to Move ON

Please folks.  Time to move on.  Post about McCain.  Post about your favorite policy.  Post your favorite Veep candidate.  Post your favorite local muck story.  Tell us why our NOMINEE, Barry Obama, inspires you.  Tell Obama what he should be doing to campaign better.  Announce the lastest infrastructure failure in Manhattan or somewhere else. 

When SOMEONE ELSE posts another he did/she did post, please (1) reply by saying it is TIME TO MOVE ON and (2) DO NOT RECOMMEND IT.

If you think this might be a mildly good idea, please recommend my post.

Thank you for your help.

Okay, That's It (second try)

Obama's site shows 346 SD. Election Central credits him with a bonus 5
from Montana if he wins as he will and the "Pelosi Club" should add
another 6, that makes 357. The latest polls, excluding the perennially
wrong ARG, suggest he will take 18 pledged delegates. That leaves him
ONE short of 2118. According to DemocraticConWatch, he actually only
needs 2117 until Maryland holds a special election in a few weeks,
where the Democrat is expected to win....

HE WILL GET ONE MORE, no need to worry about it.

It is OVER. Hillary can go home now.

McCain's Assets

There is so much back and forth about Obama and Clinton that I thought I would post something about what McCain has going for him....

Unpopular war?  Check
Linked to least popular president ever? Check
Lobbyist scandal(s)? Check
Flip/Flop? Check
Biggest recession since the 70s (or possibly the 30s)? Check
Competitor from his own base? Check

Wow... he's got this thing sewed up.  Maybe you can add more?
