FORTNIGHTLY PUKE
It started when I looked too quickly at the title of someone's post.
Instead of "seeing" WEEKLY PULSE, my mind thought "WEEKLY PUKE."
So here we go, a chance for you to reveal the top two or three
things that happened this week or last that made you feel sick.
Here are mine:
1) Legislators of all parties should be ashamed of their reactions to health care
reform. And until they learn to act quickly and be part of the solution, their
health benefits should be canceled, effective immediately. Deadlines work.
2) Larry King lost control of Liz Cheney during an interview with Liz Cheney
and James Carville. Doesn't Larry know how to cut her mic or activate the
ejector seat? Even Carville looked flummoxed and couldn't get a word in edgewise.
3) My investments went on another wild ride; plus or minus, they are still not good,
not good at all. I guess I will be working until 2033, after all.
What makes you puke?

1) Methinks my two posts on the subject are obvious enough. Puke-Cannon made the most racist remarks yet heard this century on natioal TV.
2) An African-American GOP Leader, enabled ONLY because of Affirmative Action to display his ability, said nothing. I'm not saying Steele would not be smart without Affirmative Action. I'm saying he never would have had the cnace without Affirmative Action.
3) GOP adulterers have all announced they will not step down from their leadership roles despite their inability to meet the standards they impose on others, nor the minimal standards we would impose on them, i.e. paying their own way on international flights for their afffairs, going AWOL for several days, paying hush money to the family, including the children, of their mistresses to keep quiet about their marital betrayals, declining to resign despite their declarations Bill Clinton should have when he wandered.
4) Democrats deferring a decision regarding healthcare reform when we know hundrds of people die needlessly every day because of the shameful inability we have to see to the needs of those less fortunate in as essential a matter as helalthcare.

Dicken O'Dea, I need some clarification for your puke #4. By cable guy do you mean a talking head on cable TV networks, the kind without a script or any background research, or do you mean two sides of the story about the slacker who promises to install cable TV service between 9:00 and and 5:30 pm?

Thank you for joining us in this important debate. But the answer is up to you, our viewer.

DD, for some reason that reminds me of Mel Brooks:
"If you're quiet, you're not living. You've got to be noisy and colorful and lively."
Thanks for being all those things.

This insane ride the health care bill is on is giving me nausea. Apart from that just too much beer...

Actually I loved Pat Buchanan's self-emolation, especially as it was followed in one night by Rachel's point by point ball-busting response. He reached a new low, and I hope he loses his job, but even if he doesn't he has lost standing with anyone with a brain.
But I'm with you on the Liz Cheney thing. I REALLY wanted Carville to come back when she was talking about John Edwards' "hypocrisy" in answer to the question about the republican's "family values" regarding their many peccadilloes. What did I want Carville to say? This:
Now, wait a minute! Your Daddy went on a hunting trip to New Mexico with a woman who was not his wife, and proceeded to get so drunk he shot someone in the face! We know that the other woman thing was covered up, but it happened, so don't go after John Edwards or anyone else!
And THEN when she talked (in answer to the birther question) that it's all about "concern" that Obama is afraid to confront other countries. I wanted him to say this: "For the daughter of a draft dodger to conflate courage with strutting around and saying 'Bring it On... ' and then sending other peoples' children to back him up -- well, it would be laughable, except it's not funny."
I guess my pukometer is strongest as relates to the completely unqualified, and misanthropic, lying spawn of our torturer-in-chief; getting one second of air time, as if she had anything worthy to say.
BTW, Nice title!

Puke is one of those childhood words that I love. It's so evocative.

Hey CVille, I never heard of the drinking and the other woman.
I mean we have all these facts against dickyc.
But do a blog with some links or something about this other woman. I mean a woman would be attracted to this kind of dung?
Great comment by the way.

"Just a rumor", but it's funny that half of the URL's I searched have been disabled. Wonder who got waterboarded into doing THAT job?

"Drinkin' Rum and Docta Peppa"
Doesn't really grab me. Gregor -- but then, I'm not a hunter. But it makes me happy to think of Cheney with a paper parasol coming out of his stent.

(1) Bankers telling us that earth's going to hell in a handbasket because of inflation if our government doesn't stop trying to help regular people in this financial crisis. And getting Bernanke to react. Publicly. Even though they say the same thing as Chinese people. Because *they're* trustworthy.
(2) David Brooks telling us the "moderate" (and ergo, rational and reasonable) thing to do is to oppose Obama on healthcare.
(3) Why is Lieberman still relevant.

1) No accountability for Bush/Cheney re all crimes and criminally negligent management of our country.
Bush lied and thousands died. --makes me puke.
2) Most of the 'people' want a single payer healthcare system. The powers that be don't want to give up their profits or their power so we all suffer. --real puker
3) The rule of law is not being enforced in DC.
4) The pseudo-christian mafia 'The Family'
Okay I have to stop because thinking about all of this stuff at once really will make me puke.

Liz makes me hurl. The thought of her macacca-ing her way into Jim Webb's seat makes me spew. Her macacca-ing by explaining the "concerns" of the brotha-hating birthers makes me blow chunks. She's the worst. Oh no, I'm gonna puke!!!

What makes me puke?
Republicans.
Republicans without a brain.
Republicans who think they have a brain.
Republicans who have misplaced their brain.
Republicans who are brain dead.
Republicans who were behind the door...
United States Senators
United States Congresspersons
The name, Supreme Court
The DOJ
The CIA
GWB and all others of the Bush persuasion.
And lots of other stuff that I am sure Josh doesn't have enough space on his web site for me to list.
