Man, so sorry to hear this. Stunning when it hits so close to home.

So awful. So Damned AWFUL. I'm so sorry, haele. So fucking SENSELESS!!!!!!!!!

A selfish fuck. AKA a republi-CON.

They're republi-CONS. 'Cause all they offer is a CON JOB.

He's frickin' USELESS. David Gregory is merely another wholly-owned subsidiary.

USELESS. Fawning, completely co-opted and corporate-owned. USELESS.

This is just utterly LOVELY, Mike!

Thank you SO MUCH for sharing this with us. May your dad sleep with the angels. Please know we are grateful for his service and his faith and convictions. So touching. I believe President Obama cares for our troops in ways that those bastards just before him never did. I remember how, very early-on in his first term, he went to Dover AFB to meet and pay his respects to the American war dead whose flag-draped coffins were returning from the war. AND he allowed it to be covered by the media - something the chickenshit chickenhawks of the bush/cheney NEVER did, and NEVER allowed. Like the true cowards they were (and still are!!!).

But to avoid gerrymandering again, we have to build momentum for the decade mark(s).

Every ten years - census time. And that's when they redraw the congressional districts. THAT'S when we need Dems in BIGTIME control at the state level, in the governor's mansions and the legislatures. The next time districts get redrawn - we need DEMOCRATS in power, which means DEMOCRATS will redraw the districts. Think how sweet it'd be if a lot of those so-called "safe seats" in the House were suddenly ripe to be taken back!

HAH! Remember when Queen Nancy commented - "look at all those beautiful white faces"

one hapless moment when she stepped up to the podium to address some fawning crowd? The handlers fell all over themselves and each other trying to massage that one away. Oh, she didn't mean it! She misspoke! It came out wrong. Inartfully worded. MY ASS.

There is no level of Hell low enough for that schmuck OR bush/cheney to rot, as properly and thoroughly as needed.

And Thank God for that!!!

Hope they take their bigotry and sexism to the grave with 'em, so the rest of us can live in relative peace and freedom.

I swear - hardly a week goes by when I do not see something else that reinforces everything I thought about the dreadful, dismal reagan years. That era was a downright miserable eight-year orgy of greed, selfishness, delusion, corner-cutting and cheating at the very highest levels, where it was ALL ABOUT rich-get-richer, poor-get-poorer, rights-get-trampled, foxes guarding every henhouse, pirates and thieves running amok (because we simply could NOT have all those annoying pesky regulations in our way all the time, could we?!), and everyone but the one-percent not only got trickled on but flat-out PISSED and SHAT upon. That was such a grim, blighted, utterly God-forsaken time. America was literally drowning in Kool-aid. HORRIBLE. And in at least the last half of that era, that fucker was quite literally losing his frickin' mind and propped up for the gullible public like some pathetic, dog-eared cardboard cut-out.

It was the WORST of times in the most Dickensian sense. And there was no best of times for counterbalance. Unless of course you were a member of the coddled class. Everybody else was thoughtfully invited to go suck an egg or jump in the nearest lake, lulled into complacency by "Trickle-down! Rising tide raises all boats! You'll get yours too! One of these days reeeeeeeeeeal soon! We promise!"

Yeah, nobody realized what those fiends really meant when they insisted again and again and again - "Don't worry! Just keep on believin' and votin' for the GOP! Be patient! You'll get yours too!" Yeah. We got ours alright. In the shorts.

My hope is that I live long enough to see that bastard's name begin to be REMOVED from all the high schools and freeways and bridges and boulevards and government buildings out there from coast to coast. They can leave it on a dam or two if they absolutely have to see it emblazoned on some big public place somewhere (the more obscure the better). I want my Simi Valley Freeway BACK!!!! AND Washington National Airport, too!!!!

THIS.^^^^

You'd rather have President romney? Would THAT work out better for you? Or President mcsame? Or how 'bout when "president" dubya and his Lone Ranger/YEEHAW Cowboy Diplomacy was busy thinking with his dick (so to speak!!!) than with anything that passed for brains?

I, too, still feel VASTLY safer with President Obama at the helm than with anyone else there, at this point.

Wow - your reply title line just speaks VOLUMES, Baitball Blogger.

Sometimes I feel as though that particular thought just doesn't even merit consideration around here.
