If Obama offers something hopeful and optimistic on healthcare on September 9th, isn't that kind of un-American, seeing as it comes 2 days prior to Fear the Terror Day? Won't the terrorists win if we put mere public health and human welfare ahead of our hard-earned fear?

I love the smell of GOP desperation in the morning (or evening).

Maybe the cops in Arizona let town hall types get away with that shit, but anyone approaching the capitol dome in DC with their assault rifle will most certainly be handled with extreme prejudice.

And there's something about it in the Mayan calendar and Nostradamus, too. Wednesday = day 3 of week. 3x3 = 9. September = 9th month. COINCIDENCE??? I THINK NOT!!!

September 9th - Hugh Grant turns 49 - and he is ENGLISH! More evidence of the impending government takeover of healthcare, laundry services, and auto repair!

In England, the number to call for emergencies is not 911, but 9-9-9. So, is Obama signalling that we have a healthcare emergency? Or, is he sending his socialist foot soldiers a coded message that he is going to impose an English-style National Health Service after he declares himself King and Lord of All America and Kenya? Which is it???

Here comes the next phase. I hope the big O is ready now to go all campaign mode and steer some real reform through. Bring in the noise, bring in da funk.

"bringing" I meant to say, although "brining" is kind of interesting : : :

Yeah, I think that's really the way to read it - one or two verses at a time. I'll be going back to this book periodically the rest of my life, I'm sure. Thanks for brining it to me this time.

Dick, I gotta tell you how much I am enjoying your current practice of starting your posts with verses from the Tao. The Tao was one of the first non-biblical holy books I ever met. It really spoke to me and still has a powerful presence in my life, even if I don't read any of it for years at a time. So I love that bonus of a lesson from the Tao when I open one of your posts, and even better that it leads into one of your prosecutions of the war criminals or some other meditation on life or wrestling match with ideas done in the resounding key of DD (dickday tone, as opposed to Dick Dale tone, which requires some mysterious combination of tube amps and heavy strings).

ttarleton Commented on Whose Cafe Is It, Anyway? by stillidealistic

2009-08-31T16:30:43Z

Wow - looks like everybody got all introspective about the community here over the weekend. I was gonna read the original Dan K post that preceded this, but I think after reading these comments I have the story.

Anyhow, I have been hopping in and out of here for about 1.5 years now, and I think the cafe tends to reinvent itself constantly. Someone is always going to be complaining that it's not how it used to be, when brilliant gods strode the comment sections, bestowing intellectual cred on all. Too bad, because they will miss all of the new voices. Some may kvetch that that those damned middle-aged people are always writing about their families, feelings, etc. Treasure the balance of head and heart you'll find here, I say! I hop around to a lot of other blogs, and I find the TPM cafe community to be unique in many ways. Glad to be here right now.

Damn, how did the word leak out? Comrade socialist liberals - do not inform the Republicans of the plans for forced sterilization and organ harvesting!

WTF! "If I Hadn't Been Involved, You Would Already Have National Health Care." He thinks his intransigence and obstruction are heroic! I hope this shockingly idiotic boast ends up in the history books as an example of the shit-for-brains lunacy of the Republicans legislators of this era.

Just when some of the things you have to say in this post were making at least a little sense - you jump back into the birther bullshit with both feet. I give up on you - you're a fucking nutbar.

The question is too easy: Isakson is lying.

Two other points:

- Please, no more pics of you sitting on the crapper. You may find it amusing, but the rest of us are retching.

- How many times can you squeeze the bullshit construction "ObamaCare" into one post? Look - I can do it 100 times in this comment - impressive, huh?

ps - Just in case you are doing a little victory dance - the comment above is an example of evil socialist liberal satire. And you never answered my question on that other post - if you are an ex animo, what kind of animo were you previously? More important, do animos have birth certificates?

". . . far more dangerously, Mr. Obama decided to fast-track the biggest social-engineering proposal since FDR's "Social Security" legislation through Congress . . ."

Thank you for drawing that comparison! When I think of the endless nightmare of horror that Social Security has brought down upon our nation, I now understand that I have been wrong to support healthcare reform - it must be stopped!!!
