woooooo hooooo

can't wait for this game!

If Castle is indeed defeated Tuesday night it will be yet another sign that conservatives have a strangle hold on the Republican Party and moderates may or may not be welcome anymore. Castle has an overwhelming 69-21 lead with moderate voters but they only make up 33% of the likely primary electorate. OÂ’Donnell has a 62-31 lead with conservatives thatÂ’s more than enough to propel her to the overall lead.

From NPR this is the kind of liberal propaganda horseshit our tax money is paying for.

Border Patrol Program Raises Due Process Concerns

This is the first in a three-part series that takes an in-depth look at a little-known program that is pushing the boundaries of the American justice system along the U.S.-Mexico border: Operation Streamline.

Operation Streamline is an initiative that takes immigrants caught entering the United States illegally and pushes them through the federal courts at unheard of speeds. They are often arraigned, counseled, plead and convicted in a matter of hours.

Poor widdle “immigrants” get rapid justice. Hey douche-nozzle, if they enter illegally they are by definition NOT “immigrants”.

These illegal immigrants are coming for jobs or to reunite with family — and have no other criminal background. Immigrants in these circumstances used to be returned voluntarily or they went through the normal administrative deportation process. Now, they leave as convicted federal criminals.

Poor widdle “immigrants” are now convicted criminals! Wow, could that be because they ARE breaking a federal law and they ARE freaking criminals you ignorant shit. Yes, a federal law that was passed as part of the last amnesty program. Do you remember back that far you idiot? That was supposed to be give the one’s here amnesty and get them into the system and at the same time close the border and that will eliminate the problem. That was the ONLY way it passed and signed by RR.

Only problem, it has never been enforced and you liberal Dem douche-nozzles are all trying to feed us the same lies now, this time doing it with my tax dollars. Read the whole thing and remember, only part 1. It will make you puke.

In today's WSJ:

State universities have become the favorite of companies recruiting new hires because their big student populations and focus on teaching practical skills gives the companies more bang for their recruiting buck.

...Big state schools Penn State University, Texas A&M University and University of Illinois at Urbana Champagine were the top 3 picks among recruiters surveyed.

Recruiters made clear they preferred big state schools over elite liberal arts schools, such as the Ivies.

Can't say I feel even the slightest bit bad for them.

I'm pretty certain their insulated, liberal world-view has changed.

If you are dumb enough to think hiking on the Iraq/Iran border is a good idea.....you get whatever you get.

 I seriously doubt they were "hiking". I'm sure they were anti-war activists who were hoping to get some sort of dope on our troops, etc. You know those idiots have been saturated in US evil, CIA plot crap, and thought they would go investigate. The mere idea that they were "hiking" is so ridiculous on it's face that you know they had to be doing something else much more sinister. I don't thinkt they were spying on Iran, they were most likely spying on the US.

I thought Iran was releasing the chick.  Honestly, these guys weren't that young (late 20s I think).  I think ideologically, they were liberal America haters.  I think they deliberately crossed over into Iran in order to open up a dialogue with the Iranians.  I think they were expecting to share their anti-American views with the Iranian government, and that they were shocked by their arrest and incarceration.  If you look at their websites, you can see they were all a bunch of moonbats.

Indeed. Are truly talentless performers given billing so long as they parrot the "progressive" (sic) agenda? See also Perry, Katy.

The House voted unanimously in March to impeach U.S. District Judge G. Thomas Porteous, approving four charges involving payoffs, kickbacks and lying under oath. A two-thirds vote is needed in the Senate to convict him.

Wonder why we haven't heard about it from the MFM. Also, no party mention in the story (hint hint)

And, as the father of 2 teenage daughters, I can tell you that the GaGa seems to be playing out with the teen crowd. So, I am hoping we are at 14.29 of her 15 minutes.

not to be overly judgemental, but she isn't very good looking. At least Madonna at one point was teh hot, gaga seems to lack talent and looks. I doubt she will have the staying power. She reminds me of a Marlyn Mason type, eventually your average person will get tired of the schtick and the only people that will go to concernts will be a small band of die hard followers.

You have to wonder about how naive and foolish some can be. But that's what "multiculturalism" teaches, yes?

On the flip side, how bad is Washington that it took a missed FG and fumble return for TD against a team with a crippled O-line to win?

Same old Cowboys.  They turn a football game into a contest of who can fuck themselves worse... and they win

I really have no idea what they were doing. Again, whatever you thought you were doing, if it involves being on the Iran/Iraq border - its not a good idea.

I want to know how they got there.  You sure as shoot can't jump on a plane bound for Iran out of JFK, let alone go to the frontier between Iraq/Iran without someone local(s) helping you out.  They had to pull some shennagians just to even get into that area.

Thank You. I needed that.

Maybe they were trying to open up a dialog with Iran. I just can't believe they were "just" hiking. Don't buy it.

I so agree.  I forget which article I read it in (I think it was Outside Magazine), but a border guard in Iraq who was one of the last people to see them there, said he warned them that they shouldn't be out there and that the border between the two countries was not well marked. 

69 Its hilarious that Mayor Bloomberg believes he has any political opportunity beyond NYC. 

True dat.  I kind of love it, though, because it means someday he will have his political dreams shattered and will end up crying in a fetal ball on the floor under his desk when he realizes that being Mayor of NYC does not mean you are automatically beloved by the American people at large.  Rudy was there for September 11th, Bloomy.  You weren't.  There's a difference.

We're selling 60 billion in arms to Saudi Arabia. Obama is now the biggest arms dealer in the world.

I am sure this has nothing to do with Iran getting a nuke.

I disagree. I think it is very possible that he could cost us the 2012 election if he decided to run as an independent. He probably wouldn't get Ross Perot numbers, but he might get the numbers Anderson got in 1980 which helped Reagan beat Carter or Nader type numbers.

He is dangerous and rich. He can self finance a losing campaign. He could run as a spoiler in 2012 and siphon off Republican votes. If he can peel off a million or so, that could cost us an election.

Just a guess, but maybe the "hikers" are hoping that the west will concede something in exchange for their safe return. 

Those three hippie hikers in Iran remind me a bit of the movie The Blair Witch Project; 3 people whose heads are perpetually up their own arses go somewhere they have no business going. And the end result just might be the same.

Here's the folly of trying to use Bieber as an inducement to get the youth vote.  His appeal lies strongly in the tween/pre-teen set.  Not too many self-respecting 18 year olds would be persuaded to vote because of him.

So thatÂ’s just what Campus Progress, the college spinoff of the Center for American Progress, decided to do to get people to vote in the midterms.

The organization is highlighting a submission to its VoteAgain2010 video contest that argues, while Bieber can't vote in our midterms (he's both too young and too Canadian), shouldn't you?"

Ah but it was "redlining"!

ESPN has been extolling the virtues of McNabb and Michael Vick all day.  Apparently they are MVPs now after one lackluster game.

I actually thought Vick had a hell of a game once they turned him loose. Look at his rushing(103) and passing(176) yards for about half the game.

McNabb, on the other hand, was under 50% completion percentage and seemed a little lost at key points in the contest.  And why are we talking about these two particular QBs, ESPN?  What in the world do they have in common?

I agree. Vick looked very good yesterday, and I am someone who didn't like him in Atlanta.

He is obviously overrated still, but he looks more mature and is more focused on throwing good passes. If I were the eagles I would be starting him.

McNabb didn't look great, but then again the receiving corps in Washington is pretty weak.

Just a guess, but maybe the "hikers" are hoping that the west will concede something in exchange for their safe return. 

I'm actually shocked we haven't yet.  I thought for sure we would after their moms were over there about a month ago.  Plus Obama needs "an accomplishment"--as his poll numbers are in the toilet right now.  I thought for sure he would be sending that masterful team of Carter/Clinton to obtain their release (but of course saying it was due to their mad diplomacy skilz not that big pile of enriched uranium that Team C&C gave to Adinnerjacket.)

They may have.  I put nothing past the Eagles.  My point is that he's done nothing, and the MSM - mainstream spors media - starts sucking him off.  Same thing with McNabb.  For people like Chrissy Berman, the Eagles are always above reproach - especially when it comes to a black QB.

If Bloomberg siphons any vote, I think it would be more lefty votes than righty votes. Bloomberg is a big gun control advocate, big spender and his stance on the GZM does not help

I think you just described the new england republicans. i am sure there are a million of them, at least. He would siphon off more republican votes than democrats.

Democrats that are predisposed to throw away their votes are going to vote green party, not bloomberg independent.

RE: Kidney transplants.  Like AmishDude indicated in 117, I'd wager that a lot of kidney transplants (and liver transplants, and bone marrow transplants, etc) come from family members willing to undergo the operation for their loved one.  If that happens more frequently in some racial or ethnic groups than others, oh well.  If the need for kidney transplant surgery is so great in the black community, the question should be about what factors are leading to the need for so many transplants rather than a witch hunt to find out why there aren't enough kidneys to go around.

It's terrible when anyone who needs a transplant isn't able to receive one, but to immediately assume that it's due to some kind of racial bias is about as stupid as it gets. 

A note about Bloomberg's electoral pull:  In the spring of 2008, I had a class where all we did was follow the presidential race.  I thought Obama should have taken Bloomberg as his second to shore up the Jew vote and money, and to balance the ticket ideologically (hardcore socialist versus mere statist).  I still think it would have been at least as good a play as picking Biden.

One of my lib/dem friends has earnestly inquired:  "The girl is sick, she need medical attention so where the hell are bill clinton and jesse jackson and even carter?"

Jesse Jackson?  All those guys are white, and I think the one guy is Jewish.

What?  Barry's wrong again?  Why that guy's just a regular... what's the word?

I don't find being sprayed in the face with whip cream coming out of a bra to be bland, but that's just me.

Vic,

I think he could cost us New Hampshire, maybe an electoral vote in Maine that would be in play. That may not seem like a lot, but in 2012 every electoral vote will be crucial.

Bush won NH in 2000, but it went dem in 2004 and 2008. Maine splits their votes up if i am not mistaken, and the republicans have a shot at one electoral vote.

That's 5 electoral votes.

Also, we have no idea how he would do in states like PA, Michigan, Ohio, and other rust belt areas.

We have a decent amount of country club republicans here who secretly loathe us. it might peel off enough to make a difference.

also keep in mind, he owns a media empire, so he would be able to change the media coverage of the campaign and certain issues.

I honestly believe a Bloomberg run would do a lot more damage to us than to the dems.

If Castle is indeed defeated Tuesday night it will be yet another sign that conservatives have a strangle hold on the Republican Party and moderates may or may not be welcome anymore.

158 And anyway why all this bitvhing about ESPN from cowboys fans?

I'm not a Cowboys fan, but Al Michaels and Chris Collingsworth need to get off McNabb's junk.  Just sayin'.

Pilot told about the big earthquake of 1811,

Us ex-Californians don't even want to think about that one!

However, since you've crossed that River, hell, drink up!

Pretty sure the media is hyping the whole Vick/McNabb thing because Vick went into Philly just as McNabb was traded out.  It makes sense that they'd want to highlight the fortunes of both teams now that this particular sea change has happened, although it would have been a non-story if Vick hadn't gone into the game when he did.  At best we would have gotten, "McNabb and Kolb both sucked, and now for other news..."

That said, ESPN, et al?  You can talk about someone else now.  Like Peyton & Co. getting beaten by the Texans.  That was a bit of a shocker, eh?  Or I wouldn't mind reveling in my New England Patriots beating the Bengals.  Anything that makes T.O. and Ocho-friggin'-cinco unhappy is joy and harmony to me.  Also, Wes Welker is my HERO.  *hearts in eyes*

I kinda trusted Andy Reid to make the right call as far as the starting QB.

There's the problem.  Reid is almost as overrated as McNabb.  How many games has he singlehandedly lost because of his incompetence - especially when it comes to the clock and time outs?

Call me old school, but it's radio....

Poor Barry and Moochelle, burning the candle at both ends!  From Drudge:

President Obama and first lady Michelle Obama have a packed social schedule this week, with two major galas and a reception for college athletes.

On Monday evening, the president will welcome collegiate star athletes to the White House for a reception at 5:45 p.m. The annual event, first held by former President George W. Bush, recognizes outstanding student athletes in more than a dozen sports, including field-hockey, lacrosse, and volleyball. Neither of Obama's alma maters, Columbia University and Harvard University, made the grade.

On Wednesday the First Couple will don black tie for the annual Congressional Hispanic Caucus Institute gala, one of the more entertaining political galas of the Washington fall season. A number of entertainers are being honored with awards, including Eva Longoria Parker, five-time Grammy winner Arturo Sandoval, and musician Sheila E. Also participating in the festivities will be Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid (D-Nev.), Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.), and New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg. 

Hopefully the Obamas get some rest Thursday or Friday, because they will be back in formalwear on Saturday night for the Congressional Black Caucus Foundation's (CBCF) annual Phoenix Awards dinner. The dinner will mark the culmination of the foundation's 40th Annual Legislative Conference. 

Gosh, I hope they can rest up on Wednesday between their regular cocktail hour and the big Black Tie event.  Of course the author of this article had to point out that George Bush instituted the one reception.  And remember, it wasn't too long ago that the Obamas were one paycheck away from being homeless as they struggled to pay off their credit card each month, just like the rest of us poor schlubs.

Speaking as a NH resident, we are falling to the steady encroachment of Massachusetts libs, Maine socialists, and Vermont commies.  We would dearly welcome ANY strong Republican candidate who actually stood for a darn thing and who we could really rally behind.  I think the rest of the country would be surprised at how much red is still left in my little blue state. 

The problem, of course, is the quality of the candidates.  If there's not a decent candidate a lot of GOPers and conservatives won't even bother to turn out at the polls because what's the use?  At least that's the thinking.  It's the same prevailing problem that's been affecting the whole country for years, but it's become more pronounced here in NH because the deterioration has happened so quickly.  Give us a candidate with strong principles and we'll be there.  Unfortunately, looking at the early contenders for the GOP presidential nod -- Romney, Gingrich, friggin' Bloomberg -- that doesn't look like it's going to happen.  I love Sarah Palin, but I honestly think she's better out there in the blogosphere and at conventions, saying the things that need to be said without having to couch everything in political speech.  I'd support her if she ran for office, but I really prefer her as the "kingmaker" she's become.

I was just playing around at 270towin(dot)com and I think it is highly possible the republicans can take the senate.

The following states are either tight enough for a republican to win or a guaranteed win.

Washington

Nevada

Colorado

North Dakota

Arkansas

Illinois

Herr, I have a Babylock Denim Pro that I absolutely love.  It's easy to use and it can sew through Denim and heavy fabrics like butter.  I actually have no business owning such a nice machine since I rarely sew and don't do it well, but it is due to the largesse of my husband who wanted to get me something really nice.  I started out with a Bernette, and he traded that up.  If you get her a good one, you won't have to buy her another one.  I'm sure you can find one on the secondary market. 

Congressional Black Caucus Foundation's (CBCF) annual Phoenix Awards dinner

Anyone else struck by the irony that the Congressional Black Caucus Foundation's awards are called the Phoenix Awards?  Given how many of their delegates have seen their reputations potentially detonate in recent weeks thanks to scandals?  Rangel and his creepy eyebrows; Waters and her fish lips; Johnson and her... whatever distinctive feature she has, since I haven't a clue what she looks like; that other one who was just revealed.  They should all receive an award, since they're going to need help rising from the ashes of their political careers.

Well said.

Likewise, if she make me a pair of jeans that last more than a month, I'd be happy.

Or Quilts. One of my sisters is a sewing fiend, and l boy can she make a quilt! And I've gotten some of that largess, when she has too many. Plus she's made some just for me.

Great thing about a quilt, is not only did someone make it, but it brings out their creativity.

Not to mention keeping you warm on a cold, cold night...

Question for you idjits:

Anybody know a damned thing about sewing machines?  My daughter wants one and I don't know shit from apple butter about them.  Anybody know a simple one that is sturdy and would be good for a kid starting out?

Singer makes the best sewing machines.  Get at least a 4 thread Surger.  Surgers can usually penetrate several thicknesses of denim(I used to have a Singe 6 thread surger that could go through 12 layers of denim) and the 4 thread part gives the seams a lock stitch finish like you get in a store bought garment plus trims off the excess as the seam is being sewn and locked.  Also good for sewing military style webbing and webbing straps into garments or backpacks or apolstery.

Best place to shop for tools or sewing machines is at pawn shops, especially in these days we live in.

Herr has it right. Thinking any girl will "make her own prom dress" in today's environment is foolish.

The prom racket has exploded as bad as the "wedding racket". Girls now expect dresses in the several hundred dollar category, if not thousands. Poor schmuck guys are expected now not only to shell out for a tux and flowers, but also for a limo and an expensive restaurant.

Nope, not with project Runway out there and many going off to art and design school.... I know of several girls who made their dresses.     One local business had all the 'prom' dresses on display last year that different student's made.   Granted, they were a bit 'Lady Gaga out there' but amazingly creative.

Happy Columbus Day.  Oh, and screw Time Magazine.
