2 Allright! Cast my ballot today! Gonna be a good next couple of weeks.

3 Demons.

4 Gawd....I hate their pompous asses....especially Pelosi.

5 Copied from previous comments: I heard an interesting commercial on the local news/weather/traffic station here in Philly; it was basically "The Tea Baggers are going to shut down everything after the election but it was all Boooooosh's fault and yeah, everybody's angry, but TEAAAAA BAGGERS!" It was paid for by a government employees union. I heard this and thought, "they're conceding the election and preparing the ground for their post-election strategy. Made me smile, it did.

6 That thing about Coons suing people has got to go massive, NOW.  Email it to Rush and he'll talk about it.

7

Also I'm getting tired of these dates with nothing but ones and twos and zeroes in them.

YOU WILL RUE THE DAY YOU POSTED THIS ONCE I HAVE TAKEN OVER THE WORLD!

8 Also, that picture is pure evil.  Evil.

9 Here are some internals from the Muhlenberg poll that I was able to find...

Partisan Sample: 46R/46D

Who did you vote last election: 43 Obama/49 McCain. (Even though Obama won by 6. Toomey is under-performing with McCain voters. Sestak seems to have all Obama voters.

More numbers that should favor Toomey big time:
Sestak Favorables: 34
ObamaÂ’s Approval is 42/51.
Congressional Preferred Ballot is 44R/38D
RendellÂ’s Approval is 33/61

I also read that this will become a tracking poll and be updated frequently.

10 Have your recording devices ready on November 2nd. The fraud is going to be epic.

11 OU is #1 Bitches. BOOMER!!!

12 Arrrgh.. that picture still pisses me off.

The peasants and minor nobility have to know their place.

16

Caption for that photo: "And I'm gonna Smash that hobbit if he gets anywheres near here"!

17 When looking at those photos, and the behavior, it is very hard not to conclude that they hadn't planned on and weren't looking to provoke the demonstrators into some kind of over-reaction.

When they didn't get it, they lied.  

And that is why I hate Democrats with a passion.

18

Every time I see that picture, I recall Glenn Beck going nuclear over it.  On his massive monitors, he pulled up side-by-side that picture compared to the image they were trying to recreate of MLK.

It was a very compelling comparison.

Of course, it was mostly used for John Stewart mock-fodder, but for those of us who actually, I dunno...take shit seriously...it was moving and eye-opening.

19 It was paid for by a government employees union.

One of the key things the Republicans better be ready to do is rein in these public sector unions. Abolishing them, which should be a goal, won't be possible in 2010, but the Reps could start putting them on the defensive.

20 The 2010 time capsule was just put in the ground today. It will be opened in 100 years so future generations will know that on October 20, 2010 Obama sucked cock.

21 Hoyer kinda looks like he's carrying a purse

22 Hope you like flying commercial Nancy.  Take the line with the full body scanner.

23

Carry my purse, Hoyer!

*brandishes gavel*

24 Yuck it up, Nancy.

Seeing the look on your face when they take that gavel from you is going to be legendary. 

25 The Democrats BOMBED on healthcare.

They BOMBED on the economy.

They nuked far more jobs than they "saved or created", and they never batted an eye. They have supported intimidation of voters in Philadelphia and harassment of lawmakers in Arizona, and now they are indignant because the stuff they have done for the last two years is now brought right back into their own front yards.

The Democrats' chickens... are coming home... to ROOST!

26 Sorry Greg. I'm not interested in your link, because you are  cockholster and a putrid gut pile too revolting even for buzzards and maggots. FOAD.

27 Mortis!  How's the Bean?

28 This story really ticks me off.  At what point do we tell people they don't get to blame someone else (and, by-the-by cause millions of dollars of economic damage to a company) because they were too dumb to take care of their children properly?

Yes, any infant death is a tragedy, but why should Graco be shelling out for what is, at bottom, a failure of parents to RTFM?

29 Democrat buggery.

30

That picture is one of the most arrogant, smug and constitutionally corrupt photos and it keeps me going to throw the dems out. 

 

 

31 Yeah, she wasn't trying to provoke the tea party people, not at all. The fact that those people had the restraint to not tell her to shove that gavel up her ass, says everything that needs to be said about tea partiers superiority to libs.

32 Have your recording devices ready on November 2nd.

Make that the 3rd.  Should be an epic day. Damn I wish I didn't have to work that night.

33 The Muhlenberg poll? Is that named after a cheese?

38 LOL, mail just came. I had talked about the anti-Spratt mailers I had been getting weekly. Got three at the same time today.

39 I really hate looking at that woman's hideous face, but thanks for posting it,because that gawd awful sight will further motivate people to get out and vote.

Dude.  Infant death is like hearing  a cash register open. 

46 Geez, Greg, I thought you'd be in your bunk jackin' off to the photo of that hag Pelosi.

47 And that they take her red Swingline stapler....

Come on, Nighthawk, that's just beyond the pale.  Don't you have any decency?  Red Swingline staplers should just be off limits.

This is what made Anita feel so threatened:

“Good morning Anita Hill, it’s Ginni Thomas,” it said. “I just wanted to reach across the airwaves and the years and ask you to consider something. I would love you to consider an apology sometime and some full explanation of why you did what you did with my husband.”

Ms. Thomas went on: “So give it some thought. And certainly pray about this and hope that one day you will help us understand why you did what you did. O.K., have a good day.”

All Ms. Thomas did was expose, yet again, what an overly sensitive bitch Anita is. 

There is nothing wrong with the message and nothing threatening about it, particularly given that it was left at Hill's work number. 

Anita Hill is a lying sack of shit.

@22 - Nancy likely has enough private money to own her own plane, or at least buy into a "timeshare" private jet.

Which is completely fine by me.  Knowing my luck, I'd wind up sitting next to her.  And of course, that would be the flight where your destination airport is still unwinding from some mechanical-failure delay four hours ago, so your flight is gonna be sent out to do figure-eights for the next two hours...

So yesterday, I was driving and flipping around the FM dial here in L.A. and landed on a commercial with Magic Johnson shilling for Jerry Brown.

One of the most pathetic commercials I've ever heard.  "We need to elect Jerry Brown so he can save California, he is someone who will work with President Obama.  Jerry Brown will save the future of California, because he knows what it will take."

Complete and utter crap but the comedic effect was golden.

Agree 100%.  There's no question that Pelosi et al don't generally arrive at work in the Capitol via the yard.  They marched right amongst the protesters with their big gavel in order to rub our faces in their power play. 

Slugs.  All of them.

68 Oh, look at the internals on that Raese poll, it oversampled Republicans by 11 points. It just proves there is no wave. If there was going to be one it would have happened by now.

"A disputed New Jersey congressional candidate is under federal bankruptcy protection.

87 42 36 Hey Kratos, you being in the scientific arena, how is Obamacare effecting affecting the research field?

FIFY

Personally, I haven't heard or read about any effects yet of Obamacare on basic science research field.  But then again, I'm so focused on finishing my own work at the moment that I have a bit of myopia on the status of the basic science field as a whole.

Logically though, Obamacare will at least decrease the amount of money available for basic research (via federal agencies such as the NIH or NSF).

Y-not, or anybody else acclimated with the science field, will have an infinitely more intelligent answer for you.

There is significantly more evidence that Bill Clinton sexually harassed multiple women then that Thomas harassed one.

Odd how the media to this date harps on Hill, whose charges were baseless, and yet can write reams about Bill Clinton without discussing his status as a sexual predator.

Yeah, basically the consensus I've heard in higher ed is that it is killing research funding.  Fortunately, since the Dems' tax policies are aggressively anti-business and anti-private foundations (and the "rich" individuals who fund them), the effect on federal funding is masked by the destruction of private giving to research and education.

If FASB makes companies accurately account for their union liabilities, there won't be any more companies/unions to rig unions for the Ds.  They will pull out all the stops (and your money) to save this little conspiracy.

109

@AllenG - I think we had one of those strollers.  We definitely had a Graco "travel system" for our first-born, and it was a very good piece of equipment.  But, like you said, Step One is RTFM on all this stuff.

This part of the story is my favorite:
The recalled strollers were made before the development in 2008 of a voluntary standard that requires a larger stroller opening between the stroller's tray and seat bottom in order to prevent entrapment and strangulation.

So instead of your kid getting trapped between the seat and the snack-tray, where the unattentive parent never notices their child is hung until they suffocate...the solution is to make the hole bigger.  That way, the child will slip clean through, and get run over by the stroller, and then trampled by same unattentive parent.  Champion!

I've got other issues with the story, and just how many things the parents are doing wrong.  Beyond the obvious "not strapping them in" Problem 1, my guess is that they are also using the product other than as-designed for the age of their child.  If your child is still an infant (which, to me, says, not yet walking), then you should still have your child in the carrier, not simply in the stroller.

110 Since Steny's name is popping up on this thread:

Lollar statement responding to Steny Hoyer's "I'm coming after you" threat/promise. 

He sounds a little tired in this presser (and I wish he either had a light blue shirt on or a tie), but I love this guy.

111 I just noticed for the first time that Stenny is holding Nancy's purse. I bet there's a big, black dildo with teeth marks in there.

No, that's Hoyer's purse. You're right about the contents, though.

"Clearly, the only FAIR solution to Graco's problem is for the company to send out a representative to each customer, who will properly strap the child into the stroller, push them around for the parent, and then safely extract the child from the stroller.  All of this should be provided free-of-charge.  Frankly, I believe that the disparity between Graco's executives, and those other fat-cats in the Big Baby industry, and their customers in the lower- to middle-class has grown too large, and it is time for these companies to put safety first and profits second."

Of course they are.  If they could be that effective at "obstruction" with only 40 senators, imagine what they'd do with 47 (about the minimum number I've heard).  Hey, they might even pass something so deviously clever that Obama would commit political suicide by vetoing it -thereby rendering the Presidential Veto ineffective! 

Those squirrel-ly Republicans- they have Super-Constitutional Powers they do!!!

---

Really, am I supposed to believe that they're incompetent, or that they successfully "obstructed" Obama's agenda for two years while the Democrats had super-majorities in both houses?  Pick one.

If you believe the first, then explain why the Democrats shouldn't be voted out- seeing how they failed miserably to complete their own agenda (yes, Health Care got through- remember Cap N Trade, or Card Check?  Hmmm... what happened to those, I wonder?).

If you believe the second, then ANY gains in the Senate would equate to "taking over."

123 Nancy darling, that is because you will be in another position.

Nancy dear, just Lean Forward.  Just a little more.  That's it.  I'll just put the tip in.  I promise.

124 Base 3 baby!

125 Article in yesterday's NYT now claims that "roughly a third of {the Stimulus} was in the form of tax cuts".

Nevermind this bold-faced lie. Do liberals even know what a tax cut is?

True dat, Y-not, but given Anita Hill's current well-deserved obscurity, I can't understand why Ginny Thomas decided now was a good time to stir the shit again.

I've been paying attention to politics for far too long. I can't see anything like this without looking for some motive beyond simply standing up for principles. My immediate reaction was "it has been years since Hill shot off her damn lying mouth. Get over it, Ginny."

127 The Salahis have also been sued over 40 times as they go around scamming people including their own fucking family. Fuck em both.

128 What I find so amusing about Greg and his ilk is that there still seem to be some people who are so fucking stupid that they actually want more of this democrat debacle. How fucking dumb do you have to be to not only support this Obama/Reid/Pelosi led clusterfuck but you are willing to publicly humiliate yourself by stating it? It's one thing to have an exceedingly low grasp of commonsense and the ability to reason, it's another thing entirely to publicly proclaim you're a fucking retard.

130 127 Article in yesterday's NYT now claims that "roughly a third of {the Stimulus} was in the form of tax cuts". --- From the NYT article: "In a troubling sign for Democrats as they head into the midterm elections, their signature tax cut of the past two years, which decreased income taxes by up to $400 a year for individuals and $800 for married couples, has gone largely unnoticed." That's a whopping $30 bucks extra in a bi-weekly paycheck, which is barely enough to pay for gas these days. And the Dems are PROUD of this. The article reminds me of that CNN reporter who was yelling at the man holding his kid at one of the first Tea Party rallies: "Sir, sir! DONT YOU UNDERSTAND THE GOVERNMENT IS GIVING YOU $200??" Asshats. BE THE F***ING WAVE!!

131 Also I'm getting tired of these dates with nothing but ones and twos and zeroes in them.

Funny,  I'm looking forward to 11-2-2010

132 Hey Tammy- Sorry about your uncle, but I can still have someone take care of his vote....

133 @110 - Yeah, the big thing to me is that there are (IIRC) 9 total incidents.  Nine.
Not Nine thousand, not nine hundred, not ninety.  Nine.  Four of those were deaths and five were "injuries."

So, for a total of approximately 18 parents' inability to perform the incredibly simple function of strapping a child into a stroller (something I do with fair frequency, and I never did read the manual), Graco now has to be soaked for millions of dollars just so they won't be sued, and if I want a new Graco product, I'm on the hook for that lost money.

Thanks Trail Lawyers!!!

134 Nevermind this bold-faced lie. Do liberals even know what a tax cut is?

A tax cut is when I take your taxes and give them to my friends. See we do know what a tax cut is.

135 I vote Dem because I believe that congress should never enact a budget. That's just like too much work dude.

136 True dat, Y-not, but given Anita Hill's current well-deserved obscurity, I can't understand why Ginny Thomas decided now was a good time to stir the shit again.

That was my point in bringing this up.  Hill is now just filling a space at Brandeis and providing a substandard education to naive students.  The chance of her not running to the MFM with something that brings her to the public's attention was zilch.

137 I've been paying attention to politics for far too long. I can't see anything like this without looking for some motive beyond simply standing up for principles. My immediate reaction was "it has been years since Hill shot off her damn lying mouth. Get over it, Ginny."

I understand your point.  And purely from a political point of view, I agree.  But she's his wife.  There could be any number of reasons she could be motivated to do so now.  Hill may be an obscure professor, but he's in the public eye and this stupid story comes up all the time whenever Justice Thomas is in the news. 

I'd say Ms. Thomas' phone call, done privately but made public, is no less appropriate than Todd Palin's email defending his wife.  (Actually, I think Todd's is less appropriate in some ways.) 

138 Carrying it forward: Remember 11-2-10 Vote, then after: Never Forget!

139 That side bar piece that Monty linked on the Union Pensions is pretty amazing.  Between Pelosi/Reid/Obama the D's are going to get destroyed.  Can you imagine the democrats without all of those union donations?

140 Thanks Trail Lawyers!!!

Errr... that's Trial Lawyers.  I'm not even sure what a "Trail" lawyer would be.

I beg to differ, there are Trail Lawyers. I'm working on stealing buying Rock Ridge. There might be legal precedent! Of course, Landsnatching . . . land, land, Land, see Snatch. Ah, Hailie vs. United Sates. Hailie: 7, United States: nothing. You see, it can be done!

We sue Graco when people take their city strollers off-road and get dirt on the wheels.

147 I like these videos promoing FOX News, especially the 2nd one.  It's from Mediaite and it's down the page a bit.

Makes 'Leaning Forward' sound a little ridikulus as your promo slogan.

148 I get a huge kick out of the guy at the left carrying Pelosi's purse.

I once saw two dudes picking out drapes, one throwing a temper tantrum and the other huffily ignoring his special friend, with periodic eye-rolls and tsk-tsks.  Until now, I thought they looked kinda gay. Not sure why.

But that guy makes them look like Marines taking a fortified beach.

149 Ooopsie, fergot about my Greg sock from last night.  Sry!  Fixed.

Why didn't she try some "smart diplomacy"?

151 I think that usually means talking about himself.

And the same old 'car driven into a ditch' joke he always tells.  They should save the money and just FedEx TOTUS over.

153 Holy crap.  Heard on Beck this morning our Celebutard-in-Chief is going to be on the Daily Show.

I guess the stress of presidentin' is getting to him.  Needs another public ass kissing.

We'd like to have a little talk...

155

Here's a question that just occurred to me last night and it made me go, "Hmm."  With Obamacare looming, and the inevitable "death panels" and medical rationing it brings, how are life insurance sales faring?  Obamacare's going to see to it we all die early, before we become a drain on the system, so you'd think folks might want to invest in life insurance so their families will have a little something put by after their death.

Of course, that's not counting the death tax and inheritance taxes and every other g*ddamn tax the gubment can think of.  So perhaps this is really just a stupid question.  But it did get me wondering.

156

That is one creepy-ass picture of Bob Erlich in the ad-rotation, right there...

157 Almost no pic of the last year, except maybe Obama with his nose in the air, fills me with such disgust. That photo is an iconic representation of entitlement, arrogance, superior disdain. I never hated that woman until that picture.

158 143 That side bar piece that Monty linked on the Union Pensions is pretty amazing.  Between Pelosi/Reid/Obama the D's are going to get destroyed.  Can you imagine the democrats without all of those union donations?

This is why the threat of them taking over the wealth in the 401kplans to bailout union pensions is so very real. (the human events article is linked in the red state article.)

  It is time to draw a line in the sand.

159 Baby gear maker Graco is recalling about 2 million strollers after receiving reports that four infants died in the strollers.


If my math is right, there's at 1,999,996 infants (probably more, if parents sold them or handed them down to a friend when the kid got too big) whose parent(s) managed to work the straps properly.

If my math is correct, that's a 99.9998% success rate.  I mean...shit.

160 And you wonder why a baby stroller cost so much when there is nothing to it?
