Awesome!

Wanna see Anderson Cooper tear the asshole out of one of those shitty Centrist Democrats? It takes a while to load, but the answer is yes, and it's Jackson if you're nasty.

We have no use for Democrats who won't speak up about the misdeeds of the White House, right? I mean anyone who won't tell the Emperor his dick is flapping in the wind is just as out of touch as the GOP, right? At least the GOP has this weird cult thing so they all think and talk alike, so we know why they act the way they do, but the Democrats don't have talking points or this odd agenda. So since Centrist Democrats are liars just like the Bush Crime Family, why don't we petition our Republican Senators to impeach the Democrativc Senators that suck? I mean wouldn't a Republican jump on that as, like, a bully generally would? What does it take to impeach a Senator? They would think they were doing something very Republican by getting rid of a Democratic Senator, but then we'd hire a new one in this angry climate who would speak up? Eh, it would never work, the Repugs know they've got a bunch of pussies in there, they would never let them go.

National Geographic: tree-hugging liberals

Listen to these typical liberals and their tree-hugging environmental gloom-and-doom scenarios designed to build sympathy for the touchy-feely Democrats so they can tax-and-spend to funnel more money into social programs which take us closer to communism.


It was a broiling August afternoon in New Orleans, Louisiana, the Big Easy, the City That Care Forgot. Those who ventured outside moved as if they were swimming in tupelo honey. Those inside paid silent homage to the man who invented air-conditioning as they watched TV "storm teams" warn of a hurricane in the Gulf of Mexico. Nothing surprising there: Hurricanes in August are as much a part of life in this town as hangovers on Ash Wednesday.
But the next day the storm gathered steam and drew a bead on the city. As the whirling maelstrom approached the coast, more than a million people evacuated to higher ground. Some 200,000 remained, however--the car-less, the homeless, the aged and infirm, and those die-hard New Orleanians who look for any excuse to throw a party.

The storm hit Breton Sound with the fury of a nuclear warhead, pushing a deadly storm surge into Lake Pontchartrain. The water crept to the top of the massive berm that holds back the lake and then spilled over. Nearly 80 percent of New Orleans lies below sea level--more than eight feet below in places--so the water poured in. A liquid brown wall washed over the brick ranch homes of Gentilly, over the clapboard houses of the Ninth Ward, over the white-columned porches of the Garden District, until it raced through the bars and strip joints on Bourbon Street like the pale rider of the Apocalypse. As it reached 25 feet (eight meters) over parts of the city, people climbed onto roofs to escape it.

Thousands drowned in the murky brew that was soon contaminated by sewage and industrial waste. Thousands more who survived the flood later perished from dehydration and disease as they waited to be rescued. It took two months to pump the city dry, and by then the Big Easy was buried under a blanket of putrid sediment, a million people were homeless, and 50,000 were dead. It was the worst natural disaster in the history of the United States.

When did this calamity happen? It hasn't--yet. But the doomsday scenario is not far-fetched. The Federal Emergency Management Agency lists a hurricane strike on New Orleans as one of the most dire threats to the nation, up there with a large earthquake in California or a terrorist attack on New York City.

Look at the bright side..

At least the Administration acted pre-emptively to assure that no flags could be burnt in New Orleans.

Oof

According to www.dailykos.com this letter JUST went out to the RNC email list. At long last have you no sense of decency. I like how repealing the "death tax" is for Farmers, not for Bush, Rumsfeld, Cheney and Paris Hilton.

Dear XXX,

For the last four years, President Bush and Republicans in Congress have championed a pro-growth agenda that has brought tax relief to millions of Americans. Historic legislation in 2001 and 2003 put America on the track to economic growth, and today our economic outlook is bright. There is more work to do, however, to ensure that tax-paying Americans can keep more of their own hard-earned income.

When they return from their August recess, Senators will consider a key issue: elimination of the death tax. The death tax is an unfair double taxation of income, which hurts America's small businesses and farms and threatens job growth. Unfortunately, Senate Democrats are working hard to oppose our efforts to eliminate this unfair tax.

Will you help bring tax relief to more hard-working Americans? Call Senator George V. Voinovich at 202-224-3353 today and ask them to eliminate the death tax.

Our party's opportunity agenda means allowing families to keep more of the money they earn. The historic tax relief in the President's first term was only the beginning. Americans deserve a tax code that is simple and fair. The Senate needs to do its part by making tax relief permanent and burying the death tax forever.

Call Senator George V. Voinovich at 202-224-3353 today and ask them to vote to eliminate the death tax!

Make your voice heard on this important issue. Call Senator George V. Voinovich. Express your support for tax relief and economic opportunity.

Elimination of the death tax would be a victory for fairness and job creation. Working together, we can help eliminate the burden of the death tax once and for all.
Thank you,

Ken Mehlman
Chairman RNC

Just moments ago at the Ferragamo on 5th Avenue, Condoleeza Rice was seen spending several thousands of dollars on some nice, new shoes (we’ve confirmed this, so her new heels will surely get coverage from the WaPo’s Robin Givhan). A fellow shopper, unable to fathom the absurdity of Rice’s timing, went up to the Secretary and reportedly shouted, “How dare you shop for shoes while thousands are dying and homeless!” Never one to have her fashion choices questioned, Rice had security PHYSICALLY REMOVE the woman.

Angry Lady, whoever you are, we love you. You are a true American.

Allright who shit on the train?

Who shit on the train!

If you have to shit, please do what everyone else does and get off the brown line and shit on the red line, next to the puddle of puke and lottery tickets.
