President Dangerfield
 

Bush is like your budddy who always knew he was going into the family business. You know... the one who manages to take a great business and totally fuck it up in three years, then be forced to sell it and live off the proceeds and show up at dinners pathetically talking about how he's now a venture capitalist.

Only problem is, we can't sell off the asssets here.

Maher's right. Bush's ludicrous spending programs (which put classic Democratic spenders to shame) are the equivalent of that jackass friend leasing himself a few Porsches and buying some shore property with money which should have gone to retooling the plant.

Biggest problem down the road is, people like you and I will pay for the bailout when the Left comes back into office and starts taxing the piss out of everything.

Make no mistake - those who are currently getting rich have adopted a "grab all you can cuz this bonanza is going to end real soon" attitude. They're stockpiling, and sheltering. When the shit hits the fan, class warfare will murder you and I - not the hyperrich. I predict the mid to upper middle class is going to get wwhalloped by a Dem who can sell class warfare to the Entitlement Class.

Thats why I'm spending like a terminal plague is about to hit. I'd rather burn the money than see it redistributed later because of this fucking rube's idiot policies.

Hopefully, by then I'll be in a foreign land.

Nagin, Blanco embolden our enemies.
 

Sure, it makes me want to punch that grandstanding asshole in the face. But I don't view it as a threat to be taken seriously. He's just pandering to the rubes.

Can you think of anything the administration has said or done that would give them cause to feel threatened by us?

Good point. The ironic coincidence is I have spent the better part of the morning on the phone with one of the largest (after Zell's group) equity fund managers in Chicago, whom I have never represented, talking about representation on structuring a $2B RE development deal. Odd that someone in Chicago would call a crazy, screamin/ranting bum on the street corner, which corner is 2200 miles away, when someone as substantive and capable as you is right there in his own backyard (maybe in the same bldg, who knows?), if not for rep then for a referral. Perhaps he doesn't know no one listens to me anymore.

Because I feel an overwhelming ethical duty to my clients (or potential ones) I will give him your PM address.

In my reference, should I cite him to your substantive posts on anal creampies, DPs or sno-balling?

Yes, you are. Story:

Back when I did my first IM, in my youth, slightly younger than you are now, I wasn't sure what to expect. Turns out I had an affinity for the distance but I misjudged how to race on the run. I was in 5th AG/18th OA at mile 20 and my legs ran out of juice. I was struggling to hold 8:30s, but it was a better than expected showing and there was no one around me, so I figured I would coast in. At mile 23.5 I heard footsteps. Merde! From the sounds, this person was going to get me, hard. Acknowledging my weakness, I looked back. IT WAS AN OLD GUY. In my youthful innocence, he looked old enough to be my dad. I felt nauseaus. He passed me. I hung on his heels for 50 metres and was dropped. Like a red headed step-childe.

Turns out he set the World Masters record for IM that day. It held for 9 or 10 years. Respect your elders. Punk!!

Where were the planes?
 

I don't know, we need to ask Nagin. and Blanko.

When is the Demo party leadership going to call her to task for violating a Fed statute? Censure?

good answer. I see a lot of liberals teach their children the same ill manners. While they would shit their adult depends if a kid in school called their kid fat or stupid or another perjorative term, they see no problem in teaching their children literally and by example, without context, that its okay to say the President of the United States is a fucking arsehold.

No wonder our the moral compass of the blue states is so far astray. Culture of death and mayhem indeed.

pubic hair coke guy
 

I enjoyed The Daily Show bit on Supreme Court confirmation hearings last night:

Really, there are only two kinds of Supreme Court confirmation hearings. Those involving pubic hairs on a coke can and those that don't. Unfortunately, this hearing falls in the latter category. Ah, pubic hair coke can guy. I wonder what he's up to now. A real "Where Are They Now" story...

I would have indented this if I had Gatti's mad indenting skilz.

the latter, the rank and file liberals have no independent thoiught or judgment, it makes it easier to avoid responsibility later (although in fairness they have nothing to be responsible for up trhough last night, as that is all Ty's fault. Has he resigned yet?)

Yeah, that follows from Biden's comments.

Well, the federal government won't abridge state immunity, and states won't abridge state immunity for these purposes if they're still subject to the exclusionary rule. An interesting question (which I suspect Amar has answered) is whether a state could satisfy the fourth amendment by waiving sovereign immunity for wrongful search and seizure, and then would not have its evidence excluded. That's the tradeoff, and I suspect no state is going to open itself up to money suits on the chance the supreme court will agree with that position.

President Dangerfield
 

Why not? Privatize most everything, and/or sell it to the states. Get rid of the USA and reform as the CSA. Feds provide defence, fed judiciary (to ensure the Second Amendment) and foreign relations. the far more automonous states get the rest. It's inevitable, why not hasten the process.

You should love him, those were the guys that made you look that much better in comparison such that you became an acceptable guy for the sorority girls to lay. As long as the booze was flowing. No offence.

Simply Classless
 

It absolutely does. The liberals seek to throw out any sense of morality, decency, and decorum, because any lit bit of it threatens the boundaries of their faux-intellectually elite rude boorishness.

Its like the NARAL strategery on abortion. Abortions in the 39th week?!!? We can't prohibit those, its the woman's right to choose. Any infringement is a slippery slope. Disgusting.

Leaving aside "won't", I think they can and should.

On a different topic, do you guys have rules or moderators here? Some of these posts are pretty strange.

In the spotlight losing my religion.....
 

Rule #1: There are no rules
Rule #2: Ty, the moderator, doesn't enforce the rules that exist.
Rule #3: He enforces rules he makes up.

BTW, Penske may have a different view on this.

2. Also there is the made rule on not violating Fed statutes, but that one doesnt apply to Mary Landrieu.

You've been saying this for two weeks, but what in the heck do you mean? Why do you think she threatened the President?

Or, is this a Federalist-style Alien and Sedition Act kind of thing?

"If one person criticizes [Louisiana officials], or says one more thing, including the president of the United States, he will hear from me - one more word about it after this show airs and I - I might likely have to punch him - literally," Landrieu railed to host George Stephanopoulos.

The Secret Service was provided with a full transcript of the ABC broadcast, including Landrieu's incendiary remarks. Spokeswoman Lewis promised to find out whether the agency intended to launch an investigation after reviewing the transcript.

The agency took a tougher stance on Senatorial threats in 1994, when then-North Carolina Sen. Jesse Helms joked that President Clinton "had better watch out if he comes down here. He better have a bodyguard."

After a media firestorm erupted - with some pundits complaining that Helms had committed treason - the Secret Service swung into action, launching a full blown investigation into whether Helms' statement indicated that someone in North Carolina planned to assassinate the president.

Apparently threats against the executive branch aren't taken as seriously as they once were. Another sign of how the Dimwits have undermined the laws and moral fabric of our nation.

I don't know what this is intending to mean.

Unwise choice of words.

So, what federal statute does she violate by saying that _if_ anyone, including the President, says "X" she "might likely have to punch [that person]"?

This will go as far as Bush wants it to go (and it has). He'll get to this right after he fires Karl Rove for outing Valerie Plame. (I guess it depends on what your definition of "is" is.)

BTW -- What duress was Jesse Helms under when he said the words you quote, which specifically and only addressed the President of the United States and arguably implied far more harm than a punch from a soft middle-aged woman?

Or that the Secret Service under Bush has turned into a bunch of pussies. Either or.

In Babyjesus We Trust. Literally.
 

Seems like the real pussies here are the unnamed plaintiffs. Newdow is raving lunatic destined to get smacked down by the babyjesus when his number comes up, but at least he had the balls to go on the record with his filthy trashing of the American way. What are these unnamed plaintiffs scared of? The babyjesus' wrath? He sees them, named or not and the day of judgment is almost upon us. Verily.

Well, since Nagin proclaiming to the world the "death toll could exceed 10,000" - and since the actual total is currently only around 500 - it appears to be that babyjesus is already on the job.
