Arrogant, yes. Stupid, no. He foudn a niche. Lou Dobbs doesn;t give a fuck about immigration issues. But he needed to reconfigure his image and populism is, well, popular right now.

As an ex-economic reporter, he's got to feel like a real whore spinning the gibberish he does. But then, from what I've read of him, the man has zero ethics and is the biggest prima donna in punditry.

He agrees with the worst economic positions of both parties. He agrees with the Democrats on Free Trade, and with the Republicans (minus the President) on immigration. If he was pro-life and a homophobe I could say he is my political opposite.

Another example of a moron who will get themselves in more trouble by publicly escalating their battle - see Regent Law School's recent suspension of a student for mocking Pat Robertson on his Facebook page.

And, if four White House Republicans can out Plame without reprisal, it should be OK to give a public officials' address.

This is just . . . pathetic. I dunno. Two pink toys, and dressing the kid up like that? Panderers. Not in the sexual sense, in the "no, really, I am one of you!" sense.

Lions, Tigers and Bears - Oh my

So the pedestrian entrances from the public streets to the park behind my house (there is no fence between my house and the park by the way) have been sealed off because of mountain lions. No one is allowed to walk around in the park because they might turn into lunch. What about when I go to get my mail?!?!?!.

I guess the neighbors that live next to the park are just expendable. Collateral damage.

Think of it as building on a flood plain. You built on a flood plain, or, adjacent to where wild animals who want to kill you (and your cats, meow) are.

People who moved there fairly recently, yeah. Especially the ones who are rich, bitches, like Spankster.

[It's a crime to reveal a subpoena? That's insane, isn't it?

Not at all. There are good reasons that stuff is kept secret.

That's not to say that Arpaio's reaction/actions are right, but I don't think the basic law or principle is nuts.

No comment on the toys, but that's how little girls dress up.

If it were one of my daughters, the dress might have been pink too. [Parents have less control over that thean you'd think.]
