How about all these dead people getting stimulus checks? Didnt this admin promise they would take care of everybody that voted for them first? ACORN gets a big chunk of payout in 2009 and 2011, UAW gets Chrysler, Bush getting blamed, and dead voters getting PAAAAID!

"Vote Early - and Vote Often"
This expression is variously attributed to three different Chicagoans: Al Capone, the famous gangster; Richard J. Daley, mayor from 1955 to 1976; and William Hale Thompson, mayor from 1915-1923 and 1931-1935. All three were notorious for their corruption and their manipulation of the democratic process. It is most likely that Thompson invented the phrase, and Capone and Daley later repeated it.
Chicago politics - gotta love it!!!

"Blowbacks a bitch!...
...why did we think we could get away with 50 years of bribing and propping up corrupt backward, kings, princes, dictators, religious fanatics, overthrowing democratically elected governments and waging wars in the middle east ....just so we could have our way with their oil. What were we thinking?"
Posted by: Fez at May 15, 2009 11:55 AM
Fuz if we wanted the oil we would have taken it. Forget about Kuwait did you? Boy the lads at MIT sure must be proud of you.

600 Steelworkers lose jobs because of the Stimulus. Well done, Obamacrats. Well done.
Posted by: V the K at May 15, 2009 12:09 PM
It's Fez not Fuz ...How would you like it if I called you Fuker Ted or something mean like that...
So Kuwait negates all the rest of our sordid history...? And even Kuwate is suspicious, we almost gave Saddam a green light... and then the fake baby incubators incedent. Maybe Cheney was just feeling mean ...in one of his killing moods, his inner "war looking for an excuse" got the best of him. But then, oil companies and weapons makers, the people he's always worked for, are people too.

Fuz you can call me whatever you like. I have a saying and it goes "I've been called far worse by far better people." Do you understand now fuz? Your half-baked truffer theories would probably fly better over at the kostard site where children like yourself can ammuse each other for hours. Or at least until mommy calls you for supper.

FEZ;
If oil was all the EEEVIL RICH wanted, there is plenty in the UNITED STATES that could be had for a lot less trouble than going to war. But since the Liberals in Congress BLOCKED oil development here, and instead voted for war against Iraq, THEY must be in on the EEEVIL oil plot!
Use that space between your ears and try to figure out what a "war for oil" would look like.
HINT: The oil fields and ports that could accomidate oil tankers woiuld be captured and held ONLY.
Hell, we could have BOUGHT the oil from Saddam like FRANCE, GERMANY and RUSSIA did in violation of the sactions that they had AGREED TO!

Reflections on 2012 Part One: A Political Parable for Our Times
I’m aware it’s very challenging to reflect on the future so this could more aptly be called Prognostications on 2012, which isn’t quite true either since my crystal ball is on the fritz. It could be called Hopes for 2012, although that doesn’t fit either since they are more than wild Wishin’s and a Hopin’s for 2012. So, we’ll stick with Reflections on 2012.
That’s a presidential election year, by the way, the first chance the 53% of Americans who voted for Barack Obama will have the opportunity to repent the error of their vote and the consequences it has had.
There’s a ton of reasons for their repentance already, from the president’s tax and economic policies which will put our kids and grandkids in hock up to their elbows, to his social policies pushing homosexuality, abortion, and socialized medicine, to his international policies of grovelling and apologizing to a world which should be thanking us for saving its sorry arse from tyranny and subjugation.
America will have its first shot at rectifying the grave errors of 2008 in the congressional elections of 2010 and it’s a very good shot. Obama’s approval ratings may still be high, 62% according to some polls but a CBS/New York Times poll two weeks ago gave Congress a 28%. More significantly, every poll shows that rating slipping further into the toilet.
There will be no coattails to hang onto in 2010.
Of course, there are the leftist hardliners and union people blinded by Obama’s flickering light who would vote Democratic if he wanted their daughters served up to him to provide lewinskys, as long as Dems continued Obama’s current efforts and continued to pay those unions back for their support last November. Then there are the overlapping 40%+ of the electorate that pay no income taxes and want their gravy train to keep on rolling.
That doesn’t leave an awful lot of the pie left for hungry conservatives and untainted Republicans, but it’s enough, especially considering new brides.
What?
This first reflection on 2012 isn’t claimed as original. I believe I first heard it from Rush Limbaugh and it centers on what could be called the “New Blushing Bride Theory.” Let’s call that bride Suzie, for no special reason. I offer my elaboration on said postulation in the form of a political parable:
Suzie wasn’t exactly the shiniest crayon in the box but she was essentially a good and caring person, even if she were a tad on the flighty side. She had been disillusioned by her first love, let’s call him Bubba, and had generally been unhappily in love for a number of years.
Then she met a new guy way back in 2000, a new heart throb, let’s call him George, who swept her off her feet. However, he didn’t work out and she felt neglected, if not abused.
Suzie had married George and all seemed wondrous for a number of years. A major crisis arose in 2001 and he dealt with it professionally and admirably. Even her buddies who had never cared much for George conceded that and Suze was extraordinarily proud of him.
They renewed their vows four years later and all was going along relatively swimmingly even if George had this penchant for profligacy. On top of that, it seemed that everything she heard about him was bad, that he was stupid, insensitive, and a bully. The fact he always seemed to mangle what he was talking about at first seemed cute but came to weigh on her.
When George started playing games with her bank account, spending her money as if it were his, Suzie gradually lost confidence in him. And the couple’s financial situation worsened.
By 2008, she had lost her job, their finances were in an atrocious mess, and Suzie and George were spatting constantly. As noted, she was a bit flighty, fickle, in fact, and she began dreaming of being rescued by a knight on a white horse, or something like that.
A veritable miracle then occurred: That knight in shining but tarnished armor did came along, let’s call him Barry.
She didn’t personally know much about Barry but everyone was saying how great he was and whenever she saw him her heart again went all pittypat, just as it had with George but with even more intense pittying and pattying.
Long story short: . . .(Read the rest of this parable and its meaning at http://genelalor.com/)

Hey 'Fez' - which US oil company has signed an oil deal in Iraq? Oh, that's right, none. Only European and Chinese companies have. Pretty ineffective 'war for oil,' huh..
Posted by: Mandible claw at May 15, 2009 5:52 PM
Also, 'Fez,' since most of the 9/11 hijackers were Saudi Arabian, please provide a brief outline of America's role in shaping the Saudi political paradigm. You might also want to explain how America is responsible for every Arab ruler, pretty much ever, having been a corrupt, violent despot, for centuries before America even existed. It might be a stretch but I'm sure you can find the answer in zmag or somewhere else that has Chomsky articles and a search function..

Last Call for the Notre Dame Protest Special!
The time is nigh in South Bend and the last 48 hours have been tempestuous, a non-violent tempestuousness but nevertheless a tempest in that Indiana college town.
On Sunday, May 17th, President Barack Hussein Obama will be introduced to the 2009 commencement audience at Notre Dame to address the graduates and those gathered to honor them. It will be the 164th commencement in the history of that iconic institution and Obama will also be presented with an honorary Doctor of Laws degree by Notre Dame President, Rev. John Jenkins.
The inappropriateness of both his giving the commencement address and receiving an award from an ostensibly-Catholic institution have been the subjects of a number of articles here, notably in ” . . . the Shame of Notre Dame,” http://www.genelalor.com/blog1/?p=997, “Resignation Letter . . . ,” http://www.genelalor.com/blog1/?p=991, et al.
Most of us who take strong issue with that choice of commencement speaker and the conferral of an award on an active advocate for aborting innocent, pre-born babies have taken little or no action to demonstrate our objections. The time for signing protest petitions which have registered those objections is past. The time for action is now.
Recent convert to Catholicism and long-time pro-life activist Randall Terry has been on the protest and action frontlines for weeks and in the waning hours before Notre Dame commits its acts of apostasy now requests backup.
That assistance can be in the form joining him and Dr. Alan Keyes and others voicing pro-life opinions outside the hallowed walls of the university. Or, it can be in the form of contributions to help defray the costs of the demonstrations and of bail for those arrested, including Terry and Keyes, who have surrendered their freedom in the cause of the constitutional right to life of the pre-born.
Also on the picket line this weekend will be Norma McCovey, she of “Jane Roe” notoriety who later withdrew her support for abortion: http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/2032498/posts
Notre Dame students have been granted permission by school authorities to stage protests, “starting with an all-night prayer vigil starting Saturday night, a rally Sunday afternoon and another prayer vigil for students choosing not to attend the commencement,” http://www.cnsnews.com/public/content/article.aspx?RsrcID=48138. Hopefully, the South Quad will overfloweth.
The time is short, the cause is great, and the risks are many this Sunday. May God bless and save America, may He bless Notre Dame, and may He save Reverend Father John Jenkins, C.S.C.
