KicK! Making Politics Fun

Newt Gingrich pulls out of the race after he has sucked up everything he can by pretending to be in it. His so called solutions, discussions, workshops and new ideas are the same old extreme Right-wing ideas he has always held but with a new big lie that its all an honest non-partisan endeavor. Trent Lott explains why the GOP base is against insuring children and William Kristol explains that the Democrats are going to lose the White House because not only do they not back the war in Iraq enough but they also don't seem to want another war with Iran. That little NeoClown need headlock and on Hell of a Knuckle Rubbie. I cannot think of anyone who when I see them, makes more sick to my stomach than Little Billy Kristol.

September 30, 2007 Op-Ed Columnist 9/11 Is Over By THOMAS L. FRIEDMAN

Not long ago, the satirical newspaper The Onion ran a fake news story that began like this:
“At a well-attended rally in front of his new ground zero headquarters Monday, former New York City Mayor Rudy Giuliani officially announced his plan to run for president of 9/11. ‘My fellow citizens of 9/11, today I will make you a promise,’ said Giuliani during his 18-minute announcement speech in front of a charred and torn American flag. ‘As president of 9/11, I will usher in a bold new 9/11 for all.’ If elected, Giuliani would inherit the duties of current 9/11 President George W. Bush, including making grim facial expressions, seeing the world’s conflicts in terms of good and evil, and carrying a bullhorn at all state functions.”

Like all good satire, the story made me both laugh and cry, because it reflected something so true — how much, since 9/11, we’ve become “The United States of Fighting Terrorism.” Times columnists are not allowed to endorse candidates, but there’s no rule against saying who will not get my vote: I will not vote for any candidate running on 9/11. We don’t need another president of 9/11. We need a president for 9/12. I will only vote for the 9/12 candidate. Continue reading "9/11 Is Over By THOMAS L. FRIEDMAN"

"Without nepotism, Hillary would be running for the president of Vassar.
But then, without nepotism, W. would be pumping gas in Midland — and
not out of the ground." Maureen Dowd

A boat docked in a tiny Mexican village. An American tourist complimented the Mexican fisherman on the quality of his fish and asked how long it took him to catch them.
"Not very long," answered the Mexican.
"But then, why didn't you stay out longer and catch more?" asked the American.
The Mexican explained that his small catch was sufficient to meet his needs and those of his family.
The American asked, "But what do you do with the rest of your time?"
"I sleep late, fish a little, play with my children, and take a siesta with my wife. In the evenings, I go into the village to see my friends, have a few drinks, play the guitar, and sing a few songs. I have a full life."
The American interrupted, "I have an MBA from Harvard and I can help you! You should start by fishing longer every day. You can then sell the extra fish you catch. With the extra revenue, you can buy a bigger boat."
"And after that?" asked the Mexican.
"With the extra money the larger boat will bring, you can buy a second one and a third one and so on until you have an entire fleet of trawlers. Instead of selling your fish to a middle man, you can then negotiate directly with the processing plants and maybe even open your own plant. You can then leave this little village and move to Mexico City, Los Angeles, or even New York City! From there you can direct your huge new enterprise."
"How long would that take?" asked the Mexican.
"Twenty, perhaps twenty-five years," replied the American.
"And after that?"
"Afterwards? Well my friend, that's when it gets really interesting," answered the American, laughing. "When your business gets really big, you can start buying and selling stocks and make millions!"
"Millions? Really? And after that?" asked the Mexican.
"After that you'll be able to retire, live in a tiny village near the coast, sleep late, play with your children, catch a few fish, take a siesta with your wife and spend your evenings drinking and enjoying your friends."
And the moral of this story is: ......... Know where you're going in life... you may already be there.
From the toilet

Hired Gun Fetish
By PAUL KRUGMAN

Sometimes it seems that the only way to make sense of the Bush administration is to imagine that it’s a vast experiment concocted by mad political scientists who want to see what happens if a nation systematically ignores everything we’ve learned over the past few centuries about how to make a modern government work.

Thus, the administration has abandoned the principle of a professional, nonpolitical civil service, stuffing agencies from FEMA to the Justice Department with unqualified cronies. Tax farming — giving individuals the right to collect taxes, in return for a share of the take — went out with the French Revolution; now the tax farmers are back.

And so are mercenaries, whom Machiavelli described as “useless and dangerous” more than four centuries ago. Continue reading "Hired Gun Fetish By PAUL KRUGMAN"

Front runners Rudi Guilani, Fred Thompson, Mitt Romney and John McCain refused to attend. With a predominately Black audience and a sprinkling of White faces - most all Holy Conservative or Nutcase Libertarian - the applause often seemed out of place in such a setting. The most applause was for Ron Paul decrying the War and Alan Keyes for his over the top religious sermons.

Capital Punishment - Ron Paul against the rest for. Duncan Hunter, Tom Trancedo and Alan Keyes especially thristy for it with Tom Trancedo wanting to expand it to non capital offenses. Mike Huckabee, though for it, gave a moving speech to the pain of it.

Integration and affirmative action - All against any government intervention with Tom Trancedo especially hardcore against it.

Rounding up 12 million Hispanics and deporting them - All of them. [This is going to be the GOP replacement issue for Gay Marriage which won them the last Presidential election]

Cause of Black Unemployment - All agreed racism was a factor except Ron Paul and Tom Trancedo who adamantly refused to admit racism has anything to do with it.

Equal Justice, Jena Six related - Nothing to say and nothing to fix. Except Ron Paul and Mike Huckabee who said the War on Drugs should be moved from criminality to medical rehabilitation. Duncan Hunter took the opportunity to wail on violent criminal Mychal Bell of the Jena Six.

Iraq War - Nothing other than Ron Paul saying get out.

DC representation and voting registration ID - All for picture IDs. Trancedo HOT about NO representation for DC period! Sam Brownback only if they can have guns (believe it or not). Alan Keyes said if they don't like it in DC they can move the hell out. Mike Huckabee YES on DC and had the balls to address the real issue in this, the GOP is against it because DC is Black and votes Democratic.

Health care - All with a little tweaking of what we have now and getting the evil government out of the way. Trancedo saying falling ill is your own damn fault so you should pay your own damn bills.

All in all what one walked away with after the 90 minutes was that Tom Trancedo blames all problems on either welfare or Mexicans and is an intolerant bigoted racist pig of a man. That Alan Keys with every answer full of family values, morals, God and forcing Jesus Christ into every thing imaginable is a theocratic fascist. And Ron Paul and Mike Huckabee are likable people who like the rest of the crowd, haven't a chance in Hell of winning the nomination, which of course differentiates them from the front runner no-shows who havent't a chance in Hell of winning the general election.
