Oh, somebody or other found them very offensive. They took it to be making a joke of rape, I guess. Never saw it as banana rape, personally; I thought it was consensual banana sex.
Anyone who didn’t see Letterman last night, seek it out. McCain cancelled, due to his crusade to fight for the bailout bill. Keith Olbermann, of all people, filled in. Dave was in rare form throughout, shitting on both McCain and Palin with gusto.
hey anybody know where i can find the text that hartmann has read on the air where he talks about people being anti-socialist but using public roads public police departments public water purification etc etc………
I couldn’t make it embed so enjoy the repugliness. I can’t exactly figure out why they would post these since they pretty much eviscerate their boy mcsame.
I’m sure everyone has gotten this, I’ve gotten it twice. But I would be saved if this were truly possible. Everyone would be.
I’m against the $85 BILLION bailout of AIG. Instead, I’m in favor of giving $85,000,000,000 to America in a “We Deserve It” dividend. To make the math simple, let’s assume there are 200,000,000 bona fide U.S. Citizens, aged
18+.
Our population is about 301 million counting every man, woman and child. So,
200,000,000 might be a fair stab at adults 18 and up. Now, divide 200 million, 18+ adults into $85 billion – that equals $425,000.00 each! Yes, my plan is to give that $425,000 to every adult as a “We Deserve It” dividend.
Of course, it would NOT be tax free. So, let’s assume a tax rate of 30%. Everyone would pay $127,500.00 in taxes. That sends $25.5 billion right back to Uncle Sam! It also means that every adult 18+ has $297,500.00 in their pocket. A husband and wife would have $595,000.00!
What would you do with $297,500.00 to $595,000.00?
* Pay off your mortgage – housing crisis solved
* Repay college loans – what a great boost to new grads
* Put away money for college – it’ll really be there
* Save in a bank – create money to loan to entrepreneurs
* Buy a new car – create jobs
* Invest in the market – capital drives growth
* Pay for your parent’s medical insurance – health care improves
* Enable Deadbeat Dads to come clean – or else
Remember this is for every adult U.S. Citizen, 18 and older (including the folks who lost their jobs at Lehmann Brothers and every other company that is cutting back) and of course, for those serving in our Armed Forces.
If we’re going to re-distribute wealth let’s really do it! Instead of trickling out a puny $1,000.00 economic incentive.
If we’re going to do an $85 billion bailout, let’s bail out every adult U.S. Citizen!!
As for AIG – liquidate it.
* Sell off its parts.
* Let American General go back to being American General.
* Sell off the real estate.
* Let the private sector bargain hunters cut it up and clean it up.
We deserve the money and AIG doesn’t. Sure it’s a crazy idea, but can you imagine the coast-to-coast block party?!
How do you spell Economic Boom? W-e D-e-S-e-R-v-e I-t d-I-v-I-d-e- n-d! I trust my fellow adult Americans to know how to use the $85 Billion “We Deserve It” dividend more than I do the geniuses at AIG or in Washington, D.C. .
And remember, The Birk plan only really costs $59.5 billion because $25.5 billion is returned instantly in taxes to Uncle Sam.
Me? I don’t recall anything about keeping it clean, but maybe I just don’t remember. My brain is like Sam Beckett after a leap – swiss cheese. Except I don’t have Al to help me out.
So, I frequently debate, bicker and argue with my very first boyfriend over just about everything because he likes to be contrary. He’s the one got me listening to talk radio back in the late 80’s. But he refuses to listen to it anymore and only listens to NPR because he says talk radio is too slanted. I haven’t been listening to NPR lately so I’m wondering if any of you have been. I contend that NPR is slanted by what they don’t report on. Last time I listened it seemed that they avoid the most controversial stories. Anyone else find that to be the case?
Well, there’s NPR and then there are the local affiliates. The NPR stuff is pretty MOR but we have two stations here that get into other things a little deeper and controversial and offer original, foreign, and other than NPR programming. Add a Pacifica station and you don’t have to hear ‘own gold’ ads all day and night. Since every show slant in one way or another, I try to mix it up even though my right wing listening is limited since lefty radio seems obsessed with covering that.
I find the NPR Morning news program useful and informative. Stephanie really doesn’t cut it for news and she really only brings about 45 minutes of content spread into and repeated in a 3 hour show.
Across metro Atlanta, drivers in one of the nation’s largest commuter cities are running into the same thing: a lack of gas and no clear idea when the situation will get better. State and industry officials say they’re working as fast as they can and are urging people not to panic.
Christina Wedge, a resident of the Atlanta suburb Decatur, said her tank was on empty Sunday. When she went to fill up, she passed six stations closed down before finally finding one with gas for nearly $5 a gallon. She got just enough to continue looking for a cheaper price.
At the Chester Eastside library today installing a new Canon MX700 (SWEET!!- ethernet card and everything, no more print server) and trying to undo the damage done by the moron that ran the summer camp. Limewire on two computers and a faulty install of Wordperfect 2002 on all 8. I changede the admin password and now NO ONE is getting it. Oh and Verizon seems to have upped the DSL speed here to around 3mb, as far as I know no increase in price.
This is not the first time McLame has pulled out of a debate. He did it in 2000:
With new polls showing his campaign dead in the water among California Republicans, Arizona Sen. John McCain has pulled out of a long-scheduled debate with Texas Gov. George Bush, set for Thursday in Los Angeles.
McCain campaign officials tried desperately yesterday to put the best face on their withdrawal, even as a new Field Poll showed Bush far ahead among likely Republican voters in the winner-take-all race for the state’s 162 GOP delegates. […]
The latest issue of the National Enquirer sounds like fun:
In a world exclusive The NATIONAL ENQUIRER names GOP VP Candidate Sarah Palin’s secret lover!
No less than three members of the man’s family including one by sworn affidavit have claimed that Sarah Palin engaged in an extramarital affair with husÂband Todd’s former business partner, Brad Hanson.
KATIE COURIC: And, Bob, I understand that John McCain actually floated an alternative plan. What can you tell us about that?
BOB ORR We’re told at the White House Senator McCain offered an alternative plan that would include fewer regulations and more corporate tax breaks for businesses, kind of a private solution. But we’re also told those ideas angered and surprised Democrats like banking chairman Chris Dodd who now says he thinks the White House summit was more of a political stunt for McCain.
I made this today and it is REALLY good! I replace 1/2 cup of the oil with applesauce. YUM!
sweet potato and zucchini bread
2 cups all purpose flour
2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/4 teaspoon baking powder
1/4 teaspoon salt
2 cups sugar
3/4 cup vegetable oil
3 large eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 1/2 cups grated zucchini
1 1/2 cups grated peeled sweet potato
1 cup chopped walnuts, toasted
Preheat oven to 350°F. Butter and flour 9x5x3-inch loaf pan. Sift first 5 ingredients into medium bowl. Beat sugar, oil, eggs and vanilla to blend in large bowl. Mix in zucchini and sweet potato. Add dry ingredients and walnuts and stir well.
Transfer batter to prepared pan. Bake until tester inserted into center comes out clean, about 1 hour 20 minutes. Cool bread in pan on rack 15 minutes. Cut around bread to loosen. Turn out onto rack and cool completely. (Can be prepared 1 day ahead. Wrap in foil and let stand at room temperature.)
Pictures of concrete prison cells being unloaded from wagons in Utah earlier this month have surfaced on the internet, causing a storm of debate over their purpose.
The cells are designed specifically so they can be snapped together side by side and on top of each other like lego blocks to form rows and columns.
Each block looks to contain 2 cells of little more than six feet square each.
The pictures first appeared earlier this week on the alternative news website Fourwinds10.com.
According to the owners of that website, the pictures were taken on Monday, September 8 2008 at around 3 PM at University Ave, East Bay, Provo in Utah.
Since that time they have spread to various forums and websites, sparking off a lively debate as to who these cells are for and in what circumstances their use is envisioned.
Call me paranoid, but I don’t think you can be paranoid or alarmist enough in this country with this government at this time. :tinfoil: 😯
Fuck no. Where’d you get that idea?
:bf: then why no fucking bananas? 😀
Oh, somebody or other found them very offensive. They took it to be making a joke of rape, I guess. Never saw it as banana rape, personally; I thought it was consensual banana sex.
Bananas? Did someone say bananas?
:banana: :banana: :banana: :banana: :banana: :banana: :banana:

We can still say shit, right? 😀
bananas are sexy i would rape a banana
This is as good as Bushes “hard work” debate:
fuck i say shit all the damn time 😀
Did I miss something? Has somebody gotten the idea that one must watch one’s language here? If so, I refer you to Blog Rulz, #7.
re:#7
Seeing real journalism being committed is so sexy :hubba:
Katie, I had no idea… :hot:
I’m pretty sure when Palin told Couric that she’d “get back to you about that” her eyes were saying “Go fuck yourself” from behind those big glasses.
hey anybody know where i can find the text that hartmann has read on the air where he talks about people being anti-socialist but using public roads public police departments public water purification etc etc………

Fuckin’ A, maybe you were joking about keeping it clean and I missed the joke. That happens sometimes. Ahhh! That feels better! :fu:
I’m sure everyone has gotten this, I’ve gotten it twice. But I would be saved if this were truly possible. Everyone would be.
