twirling fartknocker Commented on Who Didn't Get the Memo--Israel's President or its D.C. Ambassador? by Daniel Levy

One state is the only solution.

Some Jewish people will leave if they can't have their Jewish-only state, but many will remain and help figure out how to make it work like the Afrikaners in South Africa did once that country finally became a true democracy.

Fuck Fox. Call them out for what they are. And then yank Australian Murdoch's "right" to own US media. Do it all, but do it from a fact-based platform.

re: some would say it sounds like fun. yeesh. talk about projection in the clinical sense. this guy has a lot in his closet, that's for sure. and he's such a liar saying he thought Keyes would have made a great president in '96. he thought no such thing

twirling fartknocker Commented on CBO: Finance Committee Health Care Bill Would Save $81 Billion Over 10 Years by Brian Beutler

2009-10-07T21:26:14Z

so, when it comes to the MORAL issue of taking care of our fellow citizens it's all about being penny-wise

yet when it comes to occupying other countries it's all about being pound-foolish, and besides the wasted money on contractors there's billions that simply disappeared that we'll never know where it ended up

good thing we have our priorities straight. America just doesn't have money to throw around. I mean how will we continue to bail out the banks if we misappropriate it on people?

twirling fartknocker Commented on Key Senators Say Dem Leadership Entertaining Idea Of Weak Public Option by Brian Beutler

2009-10-07T18:20:07Z

maybe we could just strip out any form of government insurance all together, shovel tax monies to private insurers to cover the now-uninsured and just call that a "public option." it'd probably fool me at least

reminds me of those two jokers who were selling, like, 30-year old guns to the US or Afghani forces in Afghanistan a couple years back

half-assed operations that we throw money at like there's no tomorrow. once they get a little cash flow, they can start to hire ex-CIA folks and so forth and then apply for the big bucks

she's not going anywhere. she has unlimited money, but it will eventually become a matter of when she wants to stop embarrassing herself and stop wasting her own cash

btw, having worked with eBay as a client, including meetings with Whitman present, I can tell you that she was basically just lucky to be riding that train and contributed nothing substantial to have earned herself the fortune she now has. if anything, she pissed off a lot of their long-time core customers

twirling fartknocker Commented on Arizona Allows Guns In Bars Starting Today by Versha Sharma

hey thanks. well, seeing that you weren't even a state until 1912, it's not so surprising arizona wasn't a slave state in, say, 1824. I don't think there were (m)any lynchings of blacks in hawaii or alaska either (so I'm giving you the benefit of the doubt on this one due to poor record keeping of such things at the time), but regardless that hardly reflects on the racism of Arizona today. and I'll beg your pardon on your claim about the stars and bars -- apparently a good number of folks in the New Mexico Territory (modern day New Mexico and Arizona) joined the confederacy in 1861.

funny how you can claim "most" of you think something is idiotic but you guys still have McCain who was one of the anti-MLK folks in Arizona. and, hey, it just might very well be a total accident that Arizona is over 85% white, and all those white folks who ran there in the last 20-30 years did so with honset intention of moving to a multi-cultural mecca only to be completely culture-shocked when they got there and saw mostly people like themselves. okay

or you could just admit it, that Arizona is the Idaho of the southwest

Arizona was the last state to recognize Martin Luther King Jr. Day. Fuckers.

By The Time I Get To Arizona

I'm countin' down to the day deservin'
Fittin' for a king
I'm waitin' for the time when I can
Get to Arizona
'Cause my money's spent on
The goddamn rent
Neither party is mine not the
Jackass or the elephant
20.000 nig niggy nigas in the corner
Of the cell block but they come
From California
Population none in the desert and sun
Wit' a gun cracker
Runnin' things under his thumb
Starin' hard at the postcards
Isn't it odd and unique?
Seein' people smile wild in the heat
120 degree
'Cause I wanna be free
What's a smilin' fact
When the whole state's racist
Why want a holiday F--k it 'cause I wanna
So what if I celebrate it standin' on a corner
I ain't drinkin' no 40
I B thinkin' time wit' a nine
Until we get some land
Call me the trigger man
Looki lookin' for the governor
Huh he ain't lovin' ya
But here to trouble ya
He's rubbin' ya wrong
Get the point come along

An he can get to the joint
I urinated on the state
While I was kickin' this song
Yeah, he appear to be fair
The cracker over there
He try to keep it yesteryear
The good ol' days
The same ol' ways
That kept us dyin'
Yes, you me myself and I'ndeed
What he need is a nosebleed
Read between the lines
Then you see the lie
Politically planned
But understand that's all she wrote
When we see the real side
That hide behind the vote
They can't understand why he the man
I'm singin' 'bout a king
They don't like it
When I decide to mike it
Wait I'm waitin' for the date
For the man who demands respect
'Cause he was great c'mon
I'm on the one mission
To get a politician
To honor or he's a gonner
By the time I get to Arizona

I got 25 days to do it
If a wall in the sky
Just watch me go thru it
'Cause I gotta do what I gotta do
PE number one
Gets the job done
When it's done and over
Was because I drove'er
Thru all the static
Not stick but automatic
That's the way it is
He gotta get his
Talin' MLK
Gonna find a way
Make the state pay
Lookin' for the day
Hard as it seems
This ain't no damn dream
Gotta know what I mean
It's team against team
Catch the light beam
So I pray
I pray everyday
I do and praise jah the maker
Lookin' for culture
I got but not here
From jah maker
Pushin' and shakin' the structure
Bringin' down the babylon
Hearin' the sucker
That make it hard for the brown
The hard Boulova
I need now
More than ever now
Who's sittin' on my freedah'
Opressor people beater
Piece of the pick
We picked a piece
Of land that we deservin' now
Reparation a piece of the nation
And damn he got the nerve
Another niga they say and classify
We want too much
My peep plus the whole nine is mine
Don't think I even double dutch
Here's a brother my attitude hit 'em
Hang 'em high
Blowin' up the 90s started tickin' 86
When the blind get a mind
Better start and earn while we sing it
Now
There will be the day we know those down and who will go

twirling fartknocker Commented on Schumer Public Option Amendment Fails in Finance Committee by Brian Beutler

I've had similar thoughts. Those that argue against health care for all, with whatever excuse they find handy, should forgo their own health insurance plan be it Medicare for seniors, private for many workers, or TriCare gov't run for Senators. If it's no big deal to go without insurance, then do it yourselves you fucking pigs.

South Carolina has always been a racist pit.

They were the first or second state to form slave patrols, which brutally enforced segregation on blacks (and whites) and later evolved into what we now know as the modern police force over time. A great book on the subject is called "Our Enemies in Blue".

In some parts of this country they give away assault rifles with the purchase of a car or for opening a big enough bank account. These things are advertised in newspapers and on the local radio. Shocking first time you hear it, then not so much.

We live in a land of gun nuts. They mistakenly and hilariously and tragically think their peashooters are some kind of match for U.S. bunker busters, drones, and so forth.

What in the hell does supporting something mean if he doesn't include it in the bill? Oh, yeah, it's called lip service.

Thank you, sir, may I have another?

twirling fartknocker Commented on Taitz: Ex-Client's Letter Renouncing Me In Birther Case May Be A Forgery by Justin Elliott

Yes, and I want a cut of TPM's revenue for the ingenious idea that they never thought of, that is running Taitz stories every single day with no shame for their disregard for relevancy considerations. Weight every Taitz story on the front page as if something real and important actually happened. Give it the very top front page spot over and over.

I guess that's why TPM is "doubling" up on staff, so that we can have plenty more deep and meaningful stories like this. If this and the other stories on every last republican fart and burb are any indication, I simply can't wait.

Go Team!!

I'll tell you what, TPM. I just can't get enough coverage of Taitz. Seriously. Keep it coming. And hopefully you can figure out a way to up it a notch -- with every email exchange you have with her, word-for-word, or those others have had with her or phone calls or anything all all. Reprint and post anything she utters anywhere on the planet. More! More! More! Frankly, one post a day on her is simply not enough. Please, I beg you to do at least 2-3 stories a day on her. Keep 'em coming. Inquiring minds want to know.
