i wonder if gorbash is getting some.....its not like him to be gone for so long...this makes me feel super lame...super super super super lame....christ...im like half a pablo

There have been 11 United States Senators indicted in the history of the Republic, and nine of them have been republicans.......the latest....."Uncle Ted" Stevens.......the professed KING OF PORK.....republican senator from alaska since 1968.....he has been charged with SEVEN FELONIES involving extensive home remodeling , furniture and accepting a land rover....i guess republicans dont drive jeeps.....all of this was accepted from VECO corp......you guessed it folks...a big player in the alaskan oil industry...is it little wonder our president keeps demanding that the alaskan fields be opened up...laura must want to redecorate crawford when she gets home....and its so much easier when you have big oil footing the bill and the american people suffering under 4 dollar gasoline.....stevens will go down in history with fellow republicans randy cunningham, tom foley, larry craig, tom delay, and bob nye.....maybe they can arrange for nye and stevens to be cellmates.....but this cesspool of corruption has a happy ending folks....mr. stevens is up for reelection this november.....if the party of the rich keeps up with this sort of selfinterested morality....we ll be looking at a veto proof senate....the author of the infamous bridge to nowhere just may lead america into the 21st century.....from a jail cell.....vote this november....and end the corruption....a new broom sweeps clean 

The effects of the Bush Recession just keep compounding and a lame duck president sits lost in a storm of financial woe....fresh off of digesting the failure of two more banks....numbers six and seven for those not keep count....1st national of nevada and first heritage.....the bush administration released a greatly revised projection of the federal governments finances for the upcoming year......once again our president achieves what all the presidents in the history of the republic could not.....a federal debt estimated to surpass the half trillion dollar mark in a single year.....and that includes funding the bush war for only half a year.....it seems the whitehouse couldnt give an honest estimate for the iraq war because they were still waiting on a list of pentagon needs......what they really feared was that figuring in the war would raise the debt to the 2/3s of a trillion dollar level......i guess you call that republican conservatism....ignoring reality and continuing a policy of borrow and spend........incidentally....each and every american will owe $1700 of that half a trillion.....how many of us could run a household as bush runs the nation.....and keep in mind..that half a trillion is after they figure in and spend the social security surplus......decades from now scholars will point to these last eight years as the generation who did to america what world war one and two did to the british empire......and they ll blame the voters in florida and ohio.....in november vote for financial stability and someone who atleast understands the economy......america cant weather another cold warrior....lets move into the 21st century and return this great nation to the prosperity we knew before 2001....lets hope bush sees what hes done in cleveland when he visits.....

Well the "inexperienced" Mr. Obama has made a tour of Americas multiple war zones and has proven once again that brainpower wins over the alternative......finally America has a chance to actually roll back the war on terror.....and bring the fighting men and women home from the "bush war"....................its a well established fact that bin laden used bases in afghanistan to train his ragtag band of malcontents.....but after 911 bushs decision to use afghan surrogates to take the country  allowed the mastermind of that plot to escape....then, turning his back on the real threat to american security....afghanistan and pakistan....he rushed to send the american military machine on a bush/cheney personal mission...the invasion of iraq.......now with nato forces stretched to the breaking point in afghanistan....a renewed taliban offensive threatens ........Mr Obama"s solution?....get out of iraq and get into afghanistan.....if a single statement was ever to prove a man fit to lead the nation....that is it.....Obama in afghanistan reminded me of Jack Kennedy in berlin.....thats not orchestration....thats leadership.......mccain is content with "staying the course" and calls on his impressive service as a fighter pilot to justify his bid for the whitehouse....but you dont run a superpower from the cockpit of an f-4 phantom......we need brainpower if we are to ever rise victorious over the forces of terror in this ever changing world.........if i was osama bin laden, i wouldnt be sleeping very well as november approached....hurry november....we cant take FOUR MORE YEARS...............please notice folks i didnt cut and paste someone elses blog...i read the news and did an opinion piece on it....this is how blogging is supposed to be done....i can find out what rush has to say about it on my own....

Conservatives always criticise the media for being leftist...and as per usual they've missed the boat.  The media isnt liberal....its mindless.  I was just down at my favorite watering hole....the 250 split tavern....when channel 19 (lol) ran an opinion piece from one of its editors.  This clown called for drilling off shore and in alaska to achieve "energy self sufficiency for America".......everyone in the bar shook their over sized foreheads and mumbled....dat right....dat right.  Since it was before noon and i for one know its very difficult to get beaten senseless in the morning....i aired my opinion.    The United States requires 21 million barrels of oil a day to meet its energy needs, we presently produce 7 million and import 14 million.  The largest oil producer in the world, Saudi Arabia, presently produces 11 million barrels of oil a day......for this pipe dream to be true the new fields would have to triple the oil output of the American oil industry and just the new stuff would surpass the Saudis.....and all they had to say was...."it could happen"....the older i get the more i have to agree with Alexander Hamilton...."the common man is too limited in intellect to risk self government"......we arent going to drill ourselves out of this mess folks.....read the numbers......and i know what yer thinking...."it could happen"

html                  the residents of one of americas most beautiful cities have come up with a plan to honor the current president of the united states.....with a one of a kind presidential memorial......and they have the signatures in hand to get it on the ballot.......for years critics havent been shy about branding george w as the "worst president in the history of the republic".....and now sanfranciscans are ready to put honors where we have only seen empty rhetoric.....the war in iraq, recession, unemployment,worthless currency, rising debt, & the housing crisis will all be left for the next administration to clean up.....and the thinking folks on our western coast have decided that they have found a mess that bush is capable of handling.....and this insightful plan was hatched in a local tavern....so the next time someone criticizes you for wasting your time drinking in the middle of  the day....explain to them that youre working on a plan for a cleveland version of the bush memorial

Y&pageId=3.3.1      Checking the above link you 'll that scientists have discovered a link between sexual activity and watermelon consumption.....and still our government in Washington refuses to act....bending to the Georgia, Florida and Texas fruit lobby, the White house has stated it will veto any attempt by the Congress to pass a law demanding that sellers of watermelon be required to complete  a computer I.D. check before allowing the purchase of a watermelon.....keeping watermelon out of the hands of sex offenders should be a major commitment on the domestic legislative front.....like the dreaded N.R.A. who cares little about our gunfilled inner cities, the fruit lobby cares more about profits than keeping pervs in line.....its time for the government to stop the spread of pervfood...boycott the watermelon...i have absolutely no idea where to post this so i'll just stick it in news....out of default

When George W. Bush took office in January of 2001: gasoline was selling at $1.46 a gallon.....today the average is $4.09........the national debt stood at $5.6 trillion.....today its $9.5 trillion......unemployment was at 3.6%....today its 5.5%.......the S&P 500 was at 1373.....eight years later its at 1277.  Can America really stand four more years of ineffective government.  And we're still waiting for Mr. Bush to bring Osama Bin Ladin to trial.  This November will be the most important vote you"ll ever cast.....ask yourself.....can we really take four more years?

the city of painesville has suffered another setback with the announcement that st. marys catholic school will be closing shortly......opened in 1862 and one of the oldest catholic schools in  northern ohio, st. marys has been a stabilizing element during the recent decline of the painesville area....as the flight from painesville gathers momentum, long term residents have vowed to dig in....the motto of many is..i dont care how bad things get...im staying in painesville..............their resolve is unwavering and their dedication to their city is inspirational.......but all in lake county are saddened to see the departure of another painesville institution
