I Think It Would Have Been Far Easier to List

…what wasn’t in his system.

…The cause of death was “acute intoxication by the combined effects of oxycodone, hydrocodone, diazepam, temazepam, alprazolam and doxylamine,” spokeswoman Ellen Borakove said in a statement.

What a frickin’ waste.

Tornadoes

Gosh, how horrible.

ATKINS, Ark. – The death toll from a line deadly tornadoes that tore through the nation’s midsection rose to 31 early Wednesday, as authorities prepared to go door-to door to search for more victims.

Those poor folks.

I Find This Comment

…disturbing.

Credit McCain’s
Stoic endurance, but having survived a POW ordeal no more imparts heroism to the victim than does having limped away from a bear mauling.

Sorry to Disagree, Pal

…When Obama spoke Thursday to a crowd at Los Angeles Trade Technical College, he briefly became bilingual.
Obama’s call of “si se puede“ — or “yes we can” — has a special resonance for many Latinos who remember when the phrase became the rallying cry for Cesar Chavez and the United Farm Workers union in the 1970s.

“I’m very enthusiastic, the way he has embraced our rallying cry of ‘si se puede,’ ” says Obama volunteer Francisco Sola, a computer programmer.

“He called [it] a timeless creed.”

It makes my hair stand up on end.

But the Point Is

…that they DO.

“I think we shouldn’t be seen across the country as hating the Marines,” said [Berkley Council Member Betty] Olds, who voted against last week’s proposals.

The whole country knows it and a strategic retreat won’t change it, nor the unconstitutional fact that you’ve basically authorized another group [Code Pink] as your de-facto enforcement thugs.

So The G-Men Get A Ticker Tape Parade Today…

At 11 am. It’s in the mid-40s, I guess, with some on and off showers. And there were already a bunch of folks on my boat at 5:45 am to get the “good spots” on the sidewalk to watch. Absolutely insane.
But fun to be able to even consider, none the less.
18-1
God, what a lovely sound that has.

Quote of the Day

Again from Kcruella, in an email just now.

Think I made a hillary volunteer cry. I answered the phone and got the Hi this is Julie calling for hillary, told her I would vote for whowever called the least and sent the least amount of mail and hillary was losing on both.

The Play Of The Game…Year…EVUH!!!

Yeah

…buddy.

Two things to take away from this.
1) Eli doesn’t have to be Peyton
2) Tom Brady is not Joe Montana.
Okay ~ three things:
3) Two brothers in back-to-back Super Bowls. Both the winning quarterbacks. And BOTH the MVP’s.
Top THAT.
UPDATE: Cheaters never win and winners never cheat. ::snort::

How SWEET it is.

So They’re Getting This PetitionTogether

…but, sign it though you may, I doubt it has any impact. Those people are nuts and nuts LOVE it when you call them nuts. (Ask any Ronulan or, better yet, just mention RON PAUL in a post and see how long it takes for the trees to shake.)

The city manager was directed to send a letter to the U.S. Marine Corps saying they are “uninvited and unwelcome intruders” in the city.“

F*ckin’ despicable NUTS.
The one thing in the petition (I was wondering about myself the other day) was going at Berkley from the federal level. Dollars-wise. That might be doable, n’est pas? If someone in the driver’s seat chose to actually pursue it.

… For the Berkeley City Council to blame the Marines for the laws passed by Congress, or to condemn them because their members fight in a war that some choose to oppose is a grave miscarriage of justice. It implies that the Marines can choose which laws they follow, or which wars they fight in. It implies that the Marines are not beholden to the very Constitution that they swore to defend.
Furthermore, the Berkeley City Council’s desire to prevent the Marines from speaking to young people about their mission within Berkeley’s city limits while simultaneously giving anti-Marine protesters preferential treatment implies that the City Council is comfortable with its youth receiving information from only one side of the debate. This position insults both the Marines, many of whom are veterans of the current war and are able to provide a perspective interested people should be free to hear, and Berkeley’s youth, who are apparently judged by the City Council to be too incompetent to form their own intelligent opinion about the armed forces and the responsibilities, risks and rewards that go with military service.
As American citizens and veterans of all branches of the armed services, we voice our steadfast opposition to the Berkeley City Council’s despicable actions. In protest, we announce that we refuse to conduct any business within the Berkeley city limits, or patronize any company which has its headquarters within Berkeley. We call upon the U.S. Congress and the California State Legislature to suspend all federal and state payments that go to support any activity conducted by the Berkeley City Council until such time as the Council chooses to rescind its anti-Marine resolutions.

Considering how the local media is portraying Marine supporters, I doubt the quiet language of the petition will even be heard.

…- the Bay Area’s CBS-TV affiliate, KPIX, painted quite disparate pictures of the leaders of the organizations involved.

…..ANN NOTARANGELO, KPIX : Do you think you could ever sit across, with a cup of coffee, and talk with somebody from Code Pink?
[Move America Forward’s] MORGAN: No. Never, ever would I ever speak to any of those individuals other than the most disparaging manner possible.

This came moments after Code Pink’s Medea Benjamin was shown saying:

I feel sorry for that level of aggression that they have. I’ve tried to dialogue with them. I’ve tried to invite them into our house.

Code Pink just wants to share a cup o’ tea.

“That’s my son!”

“He’s gonna die, lady.”

…”They don’t kill babies, you lying piece of shit.”
