June 13, 2007

Weirdness abounds and Hell gets another resident.

Getting used to an eternity of being chewed on by fanged demons, deformed spiders, and scabrous scorpions is former White Supremacist and general all-around asshole David Lane who arrived in the Underworld yesterday amid much horrified screaming and teeth-gnashing, and cries of "Wait! Wait! I'm a CHRISTIAN!!!!. All I did was kill a Jew!!! Wait . . .!!!!!" Lane was one of the founders of the tribe of racist jerk-offs called "The Order." He also was one of the creep-sucks convicted in the assassination of Denver radio talk host Alan Berg, who was gunned down in a parking lot in 1984. Lane, serving 109 years for the murder, croaked in prison as a result of complications from epilepsy. He had infected the planet for 68 years.

Meanwhile, two congressional committees are issuing subpoenas for testimony from former distaff Bush thug Harriet Miers and former political sneak Sara Taylor on their roles in the firings of eight federal prosecutors, and the lies, cover-ups, distortions of the truth, and general all-around contempt for the "rule of law" these and all Republicans display - especially when they have been invited to directly serve the chief law-breaker himself, George W. Bush. Reports say the "White House" is pissed. Verily. How dare Congress exercise its Constitutional obligations!!

And, "Mr. Wizard" has passed on to that great laboratory in the sky. Don Herbert, who as television's ''Mr. Wizard'' introduced generations of young viewers to the joys of science, died Tuesday. He was 89.

In ''Watch Mr. Wizard,'' which was produced from 1951 to 1964 and received a Peabody Award in 1954, Herbert turned TV into an entertaining classroom. On a simple, workshop-like set, he demonstrated experiments that used the scientific method to explain so much to so many of us who came of age in the 50's. Damn . . .

All this and more tonight, Truthseekers.

24. Yay!!! My fourth grade class trip was to Philly. I hope you and the kids
have a great time. It never occured to me until I went to college that teachers looked forward to things like snow days and summer vacation as much, if not more, than their students.

32. It was the same in my school too. I went to a Catholic School and we were taught
by Sisters of St. Joseph. Their HQ was in Cherry Hill (ironic, huh?) and most of them came from the NJ/PA area. My fourth grade teacher, Sr. Theodosia, tried to force us to speak with a Philly accent.

13. Good evening calo4 and fellow truthseekers!!!
Did anyone else watch the OLD Dinosaurs animated sitcom that was on in the late 80's early 90's? Mr. Wizard was embedded in there with the "we're gonna need another Timmy" when their experiments went awry! :hi: :hug:

33. Hey smokey nj!!!
We started watching Dinosaurs with our kids over a decade ago! They found it on DVD a couple of weeks ago, pooled their money in with Mr. tnlefty and bought many seasons! The Sinclair family, with the old grandma, but Mr. Wizard was Mr. Lizard, CNN was DNN (Dinosaur Network News). Someone started a thread in the lounge many years ago wondering if the social/political/environmental undertones of Dinosaurs had helped to get Bill Clinton elected. I responded very honestly that the show was funny and definitely had those undertones, but whether it helped to get Clinton elected or not, I didn't know. I knew too many people who tuned into the show after I'd talked about how funny it was, and I would get the response, "I just don't get it." :hi: :hug:

27. My sister lives in Malden. The next time I take a trip up to visit her,
I'll let you know and maybe we can meet up. I'll need a break because her radio is forever tuned into RW talk (smut). The last time I was there was right after the Iraq fiasco began and I spent the weekend trying to stifle my gag reflex.

31. Cool!!! Sounds like a plan!
I'm not near Malden (don't know if I could find it either! lmao!!)
but I could meet you somewhere in Boston! That would be cool!
I'm southwest of Boston, about 23 miles, down towards Rhode Island.

66. 6,000, or 8,000, I think. The one in the living room is 10,000 and it cools off
the rest of the apartment. Mr. smokey can't take the heat, he sweats when it's 40 degrees out.

61. Heads Up!! Here is what Mike is talking about
What has the GOP ever done for the working class?

CLINT C. GOLD
10/24/1999
Tulsa World


Not too long ago, my wife and I attended a TV football
party in south Tulsa. With a lopsided score, the
conversation turned to a livelier subject -- politics. The
crowd was, of course, top-heavy with Republicans. With each
point expressed their faces became more flushed, eyes
bulging a little more and veins popping in their foreheads
as they railed against the liberal programs.

Finally a lone, liberal voice asked: "Will you people
name me one bill your party ever passed to help the working
man of this country?" The question created much din and
clamor, and someone sputtered, "Well, what have the
Democrats done?"

The liberal responded with a few programs and was
interrupted by howling and disdain. He noted that he had
not promised they would like the programs and he asked to
complete his statement -- a difficult task to ask of
Republicans.

He spoke of Social Security; Medicare-Medicaid; Peace
Corps; unemployment insurance; welfare (for the poor and
corporate); civil rights; student grant and loan programs;
safety laws (OSHA); environmental laws; prevailing wage
laws; right to collective bargaining (which brought about
paid medical insurance, paid vacations, pensions, etc.);
workers' compensation; Marshall Plan; flood-disaster
insurance; School Lunch Program; women's rights.

He spoke of the Fair Labor Standards Act, which
established a minimum wage, instituted child labor laws,
and set up time-and-a-half pay for over a 40-hour week.

He mentioned FHA-HUD with its public housing, urban
renewal and 44 million residential homes (before WWII
almost 70 percent of our nation were renters; by the 1970s
this had been reversed). And farm-conservation
subsidies -- USDA programs, Farmers Home Administration (the
bankers didn't want to make rural loans), small
flood-control lakes (more than 3,000 in Oklahoma alone),
rural water districts, rural electricity (REA).

The GI Bill was passed, which the Republicans at the
time bitterly opposed. They were salivating over millions
of returning veterans to hire as cheap labor. More than 8 million have used college benefits, creating millions of
entrepreneurs; most of us had never dreamed of college. For
the unemployed GI, there was $20 a week for 52 weeks to
help get started (a lot of money in those days). The
Veterans Administration provided more than 2 million home
loans.

For the bankers at the football party, it was pointed
out that the liberals saved their industry with the
creation of FDIC and FSLIC, insuring their deposits, and
saved Wall Street with the establishment of the Securities
Exchange Commission.

The oil men came on bended knees to FDR at a time when
East Texas oil was 4 cents a barrel and begged him to save
their industry. He did; prorationing overturned the rule of
capture and the days of flush production were over.
Prorating has served this great industry (and nation)
well.


And the list went on and on, but of course this group
didn't let him get halfway through. He noted they were
weary, inattentive, so again he challenged them to offer up
any Republican legislation examples.

"I'm sure your party has authored one or two comparable
bills from time to time, but I can't think of any, and
apparently you can't either. What it boils down to is this:
the liberals dragged you into the 20th century scratching
and screaming with your heels in the mud, fighting anything
that's progressive, everything that's made this country
great. You Republicans have never understood that the
spending power of blue-collar workers, obtained through
Democrats and unions, is what really made this country
great. You really believe "The Good Life" was obtained from
your own endeavors. You cloak your greed in religion and
patriotism, railing against any form of tax, never
comprehending that these programs have benefitted all of us
and our country."

Well, I almost didn't make it out of the house. My wife
and I didn't even get to see the end of the football game.

If Reps. Steve Largent or J.C. Watts had been there,
perhaps politics would never have come up, only the game
plan ... pity.

Clint C. Gold is former mayor of Moore and a retired
savings and loan executive.

62. Thank you, Elwood P Dowd! I tried Googling just "Clint Gold" and didn't
get any hits that seemed remotely relevant.

71. Here is another good one Mike would like
I'm finding these old articles on a flash drive that stored a bunch of articles from my old 1998 iMac that is now retired (but still working).



"A DAY IN THE LIFE OF JOE REPUBLICAN"


Joe gets up at 6 a.m. and fills his coffeepot with water to prepare his morning coffee. The water is clean and good because some tree-hugging liberal fought for minimum water-quality standards. With his first swallow of water, he takes his daily medication. His medications are safe to take because some stupid commie liberal fought to ensure their safety and that they work as advertised.

All but $10 of his medications are paid for by his employer's medical plan because some liberal union workers fought their employers for paid medical insurance - now Joe gets it too.

He prepares his morning breakfast, bacon and eggs. Joe's bacon is safe to eat because some girly- man liberal fought for laws to regulate the meat packing industry.

In the morning shower, Joe reaches for his shampoo. His bottle is properly labeled with each ingredient and its amount in the total contents because some crybaby liberal fought for his right to know what he was putting on his body and how much it contained.

Joe dresses, walks outside and takes a deep breath. The air he breathes is clean because some environmentalist wacko liberal fought for the laws to stop industries from polluting our air.

He walks on the government-provided sidewalk to the subway station for his government-subsidized ride to work. It saves him considerable money in parking and transportation costs because some fancy-pants liberal fought for affordable public transportation, which gives everyone the opportunity to be a contributor.

Joe begins his work day. He has a good job with excellent pay, medical benefits, retirement, paid holidays and vacation because some lazy liberal union members fought and died for these working standards. Joe's employer pays these standards because Joe's employer doesn't want his employees to call the union.

If Joe is hurt on the job or becomes unemployed, he'll get a worker compensation or an unemployment check because some stupid liberal didn't think he should lose his home because of his temporary misfortune.

It is noontime and Joe needs to make a bank deposit so he can pay some bills. Joe's deposit is federally insured by the FSLIC because some godless liberal wanted to protect Joe's money from unscrupulous bankers who ruined the banking system before the Great Depression.

Joe has to pay his Fannie Mae-underwritten mortgage and his below-market federal student loan because some elitist liberal decided that Joe and the country would be better off if he was educated and earned more money over his lifetime. Joe also forgets that his in addition to his federally subsidized student loans, he attended a state-funded university.

Joe is home from work. He plans to visit his father this evening at his farm home in the country. He gets in his car for the drive. His car is among the safest in the world because some America-hating liberal fought for car safety standards to go along with the tax- payer funded roads.

He arrives at his boyhood home. His was the third generation to live in the house financed by Farmers' Home Administration because bankers didn't want to make rural loans.

The house didn't have electricity until some big- government liberal stuck his nose where it didn't belong and demanded rural electrification.

He is happy to see his father, who is now retired. His father lives on Social Security and a union pension because some wine-drinking, cheese-eating liberals made sure Dad could take care of himself so Joe wouldn't have to.

Joe gets back in his car for the ride home, and turns on a radio talk show. The radio host keeps saying that liberals are bad and conservatives are good. He doesn't mention that the beloved Republicans have fought against every protection and benefit Joe enjoys throughout his day. Joe agrees: "We don't need those big-government liberals ruining our lives! After all, I'm a self-made man who believes everyone should take care of himself, just like I have."

85. Caller is correct.
The budget and current account deficits under Bush now total almost 1.2 trillion dollars a year. When this dickhead leaves office, his total budget and current account deficits will be 8 trillion dollars or more.

87. Bushitler inherited a small budget surplus and a small current account deficit in 2001
That left the total of the twin deficits at about ZERO! Also, Bushitler has borrowed more money from foreign sources than the previous 42 presidents combined!

People need to get over Ron Paul. He'smy congresscritter, and aside from his position on the war, he has nothing in common with Democrats.
