Nicely written and very informative, thanks for sharing it. BTW, to everyone: I didn't realize there was more, click the link. " Published on Wednesday, May 19, 2010 by CommonDreams.org Protecting Social Security: It's a Flat Tax, Stupid! by Dave Lindorff Let me make a postulate: In a democracy, if there is a legislative proposal that would significantly benefit 80 percent of the population and cost them nothing, and that would be paid for by a insignificant tax on the richest 20 percent of the population, who themselves would receive some benefit from the added tax, that proposal would be overwhelmingly approved. If you accept that postulate, you would have to conclude that the US is no longer a functioning democracy......" More there, click the link.

Well, Chodas MIGHT be yer boy, he's an actor. He thinks Limbagugh should be killed but can't even step up to do that easy single thing. Now he's advocating going all Pol Pot on the world. Wants someone else to do it since he doesn't have the stones to step up and kill a single person despite advocating it, and its also so he can bitch and complain about it I suppose. That's some screwed up shit right there. I mean some seriously screwed up too. At least the fallout will land on his house, poison his food and water, make him sicker than hell, kill his dog and loved ones so he can enjoy and revel in what he desired so much. Smart move.

OK- we're getting in the fish killing and coal burning business boyz! W00t! Give you all something to complain about in a few years as you tool around in yer new electric cars while the salmon runs get decimated and the coal kills off the forests and planet. Tesla: amazing electric car other than noted. http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20100521/ap_on_bi_ge/us_tesla_toyota Toyota to invest $50M in Tesla electric car plant "LOS ANGELES – The heads of Tesla Motors Inc. and Toyota Motors Corp. surprised the auto world Thursday by announcing a partnership to develop and build electric cars at a recently shuttered auto plant in the San Francisco Bay area. Akio Toyoda, CEO of the world's largest automaker, said Toyota will invest $50 million in Tesla when the company begins selling stock to the public, and Tesla CEO Elon Musk said his company will purchase the New United Motor Manufacturing Inc. factory, known as Nummi, in Fremont where the Model S electric sedan will be built." heh heh...shocker....heh .....

I only showed up for the update and got mesmerized by your wiggling avatar pic Flash. I think Couilar use to have her but I guess they both moved on. Thanks for that!

Steven, Choade was serious. Genocide isn't for joking.

We can be better than that Rob. Hope and Change buddy hope and change!

Unfu* ingbelievable. Why are all you guys: the libtards (is that a libtard approved word?) that is, those who are always slamming anyone who supports the country and desires us to remaining strong both militarily and economically: so ready to rush into mass murder in violation of our treaties, core beliefs, and history? This is not something to be joking on, although Choada and Rob appear to not be joking on it despite some jokes tossed in between the blood rage sentences. You guys really shock me. Tossing this around so glibly, like you are changing your underwear or choosing a new fast food sandwich, is a bad bad thing IMO. No joke about it. Advocating mass murder of both enemies and innocents together on a scale even Hitler or Stalin could not dream about is sick beyond crazy. Whats the extreme opposite of funny? It's so wrong. Stop.

http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20100520/ap_on_hi_te/as_pakistan_internet_crackdown To counter the "everyone draw Mohammed" movement, Pakistan has banned and of Utube, Facebook and some other crap for the entire country until its over. Seriously. You can't make this shit up. ____________________________________________________________ Full story: " Muslim concerns trigger Pakistani Web bans By CHRIS BRUMMITT, Associated Press Writer Chris Brummitt, Associated Press Writer – 1 hr 44 mins ago ISLAMABAD – Pakistan blocked YouTube and many other Internet sites Thursday in a widening crackdown on online content deemed offensive to Islam, reflecting the secular government's sensitivities to an issue that has ignited protests in the Muslim country. The move came a day after the government obeyed a court order to block Facebook over a page called "Everybody Draw Mohammed Day!" that encourages users to post images of Islam's Prophet Muhammad. Most Muslims regard depictions of the prophet, even favorable ones, as blasphemous. Supporters of an Islamist political party protested against Facebook in at least three cities in small and peaceful rallies. The government, which is unpopular among many Islamists for siding with the United States in the war against the Taliban and al-Qaida, is hoping that the website bans will lessen anger in the days ahead. "We are ready to die protecting the honor of our beloved Prophet Muhammad," said Aysha Hameed, one of 1,000 female protesters in Multan city. Others — mostly members of the more secular, educated elite — accused the government of blocking freedom of expression and hurting small businesses that use Facebook for marketing. Many questioned need for the entire Facebook and YouTube sites to be blocked, instead of individual pages on them. About 20 million of Pakistan's 180 million people are Internet users and social networking sites are among the most popular, especially among those younger than 25. Pakistan's Internet service providers' association said usage had dropped by about 25 percent since Wednesday. The offending Facebook page encourages users to post images of the prophet on May 20 to protest threats made by a radical Muslim group against the creators of the American TV series "South Park" for depicting Muhammad in a bear suit during an episode earlier this year. "Such malicious and insulting attacks hurt the sentiments of Muslims around the world and cannot be accepted under the garb of freedom of expression," Foreign Ministry spokesman Abdul Basit said. "

I'm saying that you only get to pick one threat, and the one you want to pick isn't the one that the Obama administration and our country is working overtime on Rob.

Hmmm, so they must be Democratic corporate nitwit regressive jackasses? Just trying for jb speak there. We should forever remember the words of Neville Chamberlain......

I don't know about all that. However, put yourself in the administrations shoes. We already have our hands full, and have angered and alienated a lot of our allies from our earlier Bush admin actions. We're still up to our asses in pissed off friends. So let me help you out if you are thinking along that vein, wouldn't you want it someplace warm? Someplace where it would make a difference? Someplace where we already have troops very close? Maybe someplace with oil as well? Of strategic importance? Maybe it's already in (slow) motion? N. Korea is damn cold. The Chosin River freezes early and stays frozen assed solid for a long time. The frozen Chosin. Like to −35 °F frozen. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Battle_of_Chosin_Reservoir Here: broaden your horizons and I'll give you some hints. Best part, you get a 2 for 1 in that you can drill someplace where a spill could be easy to clean up and not such a catastrophe when it occurs, and it will help pay for the F*%ked up disaster we'll inevitably create. http://www.ynetnews.com/articles/0,7340,L-3891781,00.html "Iran says can destroy Israel in week Ahmadinejad's chief of staff says if Israel attacks, 'Zionists will have no longer than week to live' Dudi Cohen Published: 05.20.10, 11:10 / Israel News Mahmoud Ahmadinejad's chief of staff, Esfandiar Rahim Mashaei, said Wednesday that if Israel attacked Iran it would be destroyed within a week. Speaking at a political conference of ultra-conservatives in Iran's north, Mashaei said, "If the Zionist regime attacks Iran, the Zionists will have no longer than a week to live." The semi-official Fars news agency quoted him as saying that the Islamic Republic would destroy Israel "in less than 10 days". Mashaei, who was also formerly a vice president, added that new sanctions to be imposed on Iran for its nuclear program would only harm Western countries. The statesman is considered a close affiliate of the Iranian president and has previously caused a stir by saying that Iran was "a friend of the Israeli people". He later retracted this statement and issued a contrary one saying Israel should be destroyed. On a visit to Saudi Arabia Mashaei claimed that the annihilation of Israel should be a global goal. He told Sudanese President Omar al-Bashir that "the corrupt and criminal Zionist regime is harming not only the Arab and Islamic world, but all of humanity." BIGGER FISH AND EGGS TO FRY? Obama starts massive US Air-Sea-Marine build-up opposite Iran May 20, 2010, 2:20 PM (GMT+02:00) Tags: US-Iran Aircraft carriers USS Truman carrier A US Carrier Strike Group headed by the Harry S. Truman sails out of Norfolk, Virginia Friday, May 21, as the first element of a new American military buildup in the Middle East, determined by President Barack Obama. It will reach peak level of four-to-five aircraft carriers, most stationed opposite Iranian shores, in late July. This is reported by debkafile's military sources. In case anyone missed it. Our President had given them until the start of the year to talk. Thats 5 months ago, Jan 2010. The line in the sand was crossed, yet still we talk. Rob, guess what important event occurs in July? It's a new US munition. .......Guess what it is. July. Hint: munitions. new. big. THINK 4 B'S LINK July 2010 summation: - "BIGGER BUNKER BUSTING" (AKA in McCain speak, Bomb bomb bomb Iran.) A bunker busting bomb approx 20 times larger than our biggest one currently, coincidently 360 (of the old ones) of which got shipped off to Diego Garcia just last month. Wonder why? Map and info re: Diego Garcia Iran has the entire waterway covered with a supersonic shore to ship missile that has a range of 180 miles and would put our entire fleet under the water within seconds. The strait of Hormuz is @ 150 across, they have it covered. We have some secret projects in space which might or might now work against them, but these missiles are in near impregnable bunkers in Iran lining the ocean. For myself, I hope that the high level discussions with the Iranian leadership are fruitful, we should seek peace at all times. However, they have not been so far, and the Iranian rhetoric has been inflammatory, committed and escalating: and we are equally committed to Israel.

What the heck, is the United Nations no longer operating?

Who's paying for all this "killing, mass murdering and rampaging" you maniacs are recommending? You guys don't have this kind of money thats for sure. I bet you don't have enough together for a single JDAM. You guys want something positive to do? Go stop the oil from flowing into the worlds oceans and fu*ing up the world. Check back in after you've fixed that and we'll talk later about eating KimChee and broiled dog rations and murdering millions of innocent women and children as a matter of convenience to make you guys happy although I suspect my views on it won't change.

Rob, we thought that way last time as well and we were wrong then as well. It's screwed up thinking son. Our technology was superior, we were morally better, we'd just kicked the rest of the worlds ass in WW2, this will only be a brief mop up operation, blah blah blah blah - ask anyone who was there -ANY combat vet, if they think your line of thought is worthwhile. No: would be the overwhelming response, I'd expect. NK jacked us around and violated a treaty that said they wouldn't develop nuks, and what did we do then? We didn't do jack or shit but whine about it. By some accounts they have missiles that can hit the place you are living right now. They may or may not have modded the warheads they developed to fly on them, but you want to take that chance? By all appearances the power structure in this country has seen this coming for many years and they don't want to. Put the war drums down and let the state dept handle this one.

Way to kick ass! ™

Yeah, what Gene said. Massive.

You will, rest assure. This comes to us all as we age I believe:-)

So, have we ascertained that the President, based on this story, is a Republitard and NOT a Demotard?

Whats stopping you? What stove would you buy? Real stove

Thailand! Sweet! BTW, I was slated to fly inn 2008 in DEc to get some laps at Karbi, and they had closed down the airoporto! Shit! It was front page news as it was closed for weeks. Got there the day after the protesters had left and the road was trashed and police were everywhere. For a while there, I had thought I was going to get screwed out of a vacation. So good luck and remember that there are King Cobras there! No shit, and not the ones in the 40 oz cans either! Of course, you know all that from Afrika. Work the hell out of your upper body, and do pull ups too, before you go. Awesome Kenford. I'll be here in the cold assed rain this year. Bastard.

I LOL! But I thought the story and the link were good this time though! Isn't the real question, when can we get out of Asscrackistan, and what will it look like when we leave? BTW, I lost heart when Karsi literally stole the last election via massive fraud. F*ck him.

Wine is gay? WTF?! Well, we're all on the same page on the BD thing except that there is nothing wrong with wine or gays. Frankly, I drink beer, wine, AND US made bourbon. Whether I'm sipping with the gays or the straits, as long as the company as good, and the booze is good, then it's all good! You want to show up and drink Ujahns kick assed homebrew, or the wine I yoink out of my cooler, its all good as long as you recognize one (1) thing when you are around me. Just one! Scotch SUCKS. OK, 2 things, gays, with a few exceptions, are fu*ing awesome. So STFU on that. Don't come over yoinking on about single malt this or that. Scotch sucks. Although scotch people, who mistakenly believe that Scotch whiskey is good, are generally fine folks. What a confusing dichotomy.

Whats amazing? As of right now, there is one spot for this coming Sunday. One spot left. ONE. If you signed up but are not planning on going, call the store and let them know like I did so that someone with a strong back and a drive to go climb afterwards can get some in. It's going to be wet ground, W00t!, the best for digging in! Bring mattocks, picks, gloves and shovels. The Squitos are coming out now as well. Plan on some bug spray as it's right next to the river. Have fun my bros! Thanks for posting this Kelly! Special thanks to Keith as well for some dogged determination not rarely seen on this planet!

John....ummmm....Sorry. No can do tomorrow. Where's the Idaho or Elephant Rock TR?
