People keep talking about having rage fatigue. I got past that quite some time ago. Now I just have fatigue fatigue. Plus, you’d think today would be Friday, but it aint. I just don’t see how I can keep this up for another 20 years. That’s if Bush doesn’t just end the world before he leaves office (if he leaves office).

I hate this miserable heat. 😡

Barry Bonds breaks home run record with possible, I mean probable, chemical assistance. What happens next?
A tornado smashes through Brooklyn.
An earthquake tears through California.
Cause and effect? If there is a god, he’s pissed, because he likes Hank Aaron better.
That’s my talking point, and I’m sticking to it. 😀

So did anyone hear me on Bill Press’ Show, defending Bonds? Just a few ago? A!I!V!
Rage fatigue or not, these people have to know what spineless weasles they are. These people need to be voted out, period. No pass go, no get out of jail free card. :fu: :fu:

Oh crap! I must have just missed it, Druid. :smack:
Good morning. I need my :joe:
I think that we should hold the individual Dems who voted for the wiretap law AND the Dem leadership, Reid and Pelosi., responsible. But, I assume they are becoming aware of how angry we are.
I just emailed all of them except Pryor. Couldn’t get the contact page up.
President Bush said yesterday that he is considering a fresh plan to cut tax rates for U.S. corporations to make them more competitive around the world, an initiative that could further inflame a battle with the Democratic Congress over spending and taxes and help define the remainder of his tenure.
Advisers presented Bush with a series of ideas to restructure corporate taxes, possibly eliminating narrowly targeted breaks to pay for a broader, across-the-board rate cut. In an interview with a small group of journalists afterward, Bush said he was “inclined” to send a corporate tax package to Congress, although he expressed uncertainty about its political viability.

The only way you can get rid of a person elected/appointed to a federal office other that through censor(not applicable for being an asshole) or their being accused of committing a felony is by having their constituents greet them in an unexpected manner in some public meeting or the middle of the night ..

I’ve already told my granddaughter that she’ll need several jobs to help pay for the Bush disasters.
I remember when we were a creditor, not debtor nation. That new Rethug deity, Raygun, was responsible for turning that around. He did it so we could enjoy his taxcuts without understanding the toll they were taking on everything.
I’ll take that longboat suggestion under consideration.
Some citizens group ( foot note see Vigilance committee) needs to dig up RayGun and have the Chinese launch his remains into the sun. :fustrate: :fustrate: :paranoid:
I’m not quite sure what the consequences are of having the Chinese and other foreign countries / people owning large $$$ value portions of Amerika..
Could they refuse to pay property taxes and then threaten the city/state/nation will a military/economic reprisal if they seized the property. ?? 😮 😮
Russian bomber jets resume Cold War sorties
MOSCOW (Reuters) – Russia’s strategic bombers have resumed Cold War-style long-haul missions to areas patrolled by NATO and the United States, top generals said on Thursday.
A Russian bomber flew over a U.S. naval base on the Pacific island of Guam on Wednesday and “exchanged smiles” with U.S. pilots who had scrambled to track it, said Major-General Pavel Androsov, head of long-range aviation in the Russian air force.

Leaders of China, Russia, Central Asian states to observe war games
BEIJING: The leaders of China, Russia, and four Central Asian states will observe joint war games being held this month by their countries’ armed forces, China’s foreign ministry said Thursday.
The Aug. 9-17 drill, called “Peace Mission 2007,” in eastern Russia will coincide with an annual summit of the six-nation Shanghai Cooperation Organization, Chinese Assistant Foreign Minister Li Hui told reporters at a briefing.
“This is the first time that all the leaders of SCO nations will attend the war games,” Li said. “All the member countries put a high value on these drills.”
—
The China and Russia-dominated SCO had its origins in the late 1990s, but only took on a formal structure in 2001 to address regional threats and economic integration and counter U.S. influence in oil- and gas-rich Central Asia.

wow, congress people are really protective of each other — I called to get further impeaching a senator info … yes, finewhorestein can be impeached, but it has to go thru the house, which they will not do regarding any senator — especially for Di evilstein … :fu:
yet, I am not done with this. :growl: :fist: HiiiYaaa A!I!V!
Most of the people dirtying their underwear (at DU) think these threats are a pretense to a new cold war .. I think that China and Russia will gang up on the SBR to call its bluff and if we blink first… well… our ancestors may call it the day of the mushrooms. Remember our ICBMs are in comparable repair to that bridge in Minneapolis. .. but.. hey we might blow up Fat Heady . :hubba: :hubba: .
Impeachment
Officials can be impeached for: “treason, bribery, or other high crimes and misdemeanors.”
I think Finewhorestein is just a whore and that doesn’t fit any of these categories. .. On the other hand a Vigilance committee visit at 1 am may make an impression and probably a lage stain on the bottom sheet at the same time.. :reaper: :reaper:

The turmoil sweeping the U.S. subprime mortgage market is starting to resemble some of the biggest financial crises of the past 100 years as its fallout infects credit conditions worldwide.
While most analysts say it’s too soon to hit the panic button, parallels to past crises are starting to fall in place: a domestic credit crunch, contagion to international markets and more volatility, followed by bank intervention.

President George W. Bush said on Thursday that U.S. economic fundamentals were strong despite a housing downturn and financial markets were well-positioned to work through credit worries that jolted global markets.
Echoing comments he made a day earlier, Bush said low inflation, a strong job market and global economic growth were helping to support the U.S. economy, and that markets had enough cash to allow them to function efficiently.

The black-footed ferret, North America’s most endangered mammal, has made a remarkable recovery from the brink of extinction, according to a new study.
A key population of the sleek-bodied predator in Shirley Basin, Wyoming, grew from a low of five in 1997 to more than 220 in 2006, the research found.
The increase marks a rapid rice from a decade ago, when disease nearly decimated the ferrets in Shirley Basin, Wyoming’s only recovery site for the animal.
Scientists measured the population by scouring thousands of acres at night using high-powered spotlights.
“We only were able to survey about 14 percent of the total [150,000-acre/60,700-hectare] habitat, so there’s a chance that even more ferrets are out there than we documented,” said Martin Grenier, a biologist for the Wyoming Game and Fish Department who led the study.
The researchers believe more than 400 ferrets may exist.

An extensive survey of its habitat failed to find any sign of the baiji
A freshwater dolphin found only in China is now “likely to be extinct”, a team of scientists has concluded.
The researchers failed to spot any Yangtze river dolphins, also known as baijis, during an extensive six-week survey of the mammals’ habitat.
