If it makes you feel better - but in the real world, indictment is not a joke.

Not to mention, this is an indictment by a Grand Jury from his home state. The natives are restless, it seems.
Happily, it doesn't matter a bit if DeLay is convicted or not. He's finished, caput, out on his butt, a lame duck if there ever was one. Like Gingrich before him he's had his day in the public eye and sure, with his connections he'll do fine in the private sector - but good riddance to that era.

McCain makes another joke about Iran. sm
Any thoughts on this???
By Michael D. Shear
Sen. John McCain hasn't had good luck joking about Iran. But he tried it again Tuesday.
Responding to a question about a survey that shows increased exports to Iran, mainly from cigarettes, McCain said, "Maybe that's a way of killing them."
He quickly caught himself, saying "I meant that as a joke" as his wife, Cindy, poked him in the back.
Last time, it was also Iran. His singing about bombing Iran to the theme of the Beach Boy's "Barbara Ann" drew derision from many quarters but a "lighten up" response from McCain
I am pretty sure this is a joke, but real layoffs

Did you feel as outraged when the same joke
Just wondering if you are getting all exercised about the joke itself or the butt of it.
The View. That show is a joke and makes women

Real World?
If you remember correctly, the economic crisis happened before Barack Obama was elected president. I believe Georgie Porgie was president at that point in time. Maybe you and your husband are the ones who need to visit the real world. By the way, if your husband works in the stocks/trading and knows about market manipulation, he is apparently part of the problem.
Back in the real world
we have a bit of a different picture. Despite the fact that support for the plan has deropped recently, all polls reported here still indicate 52% support to 38% opposition. What's even more interesting in this report is how the questions on bipartisanship were answered.

Some of us live in the real world. JBB

I have taken a peek at the real world.
The real world is a lot bigger than you Obama loving freaks who see no wrong in anything he does. Waterboarding is not torture. Their lives were not in danger. Now if we were chopping off fingers, pulling off finger nails and toe nails, cutting off someone's ear, etc.......that is torture. We didn't break their bones or cut anything of theirs off. We are in a war. A war where people want YOU dead along with your family all because we aren't Muslims. Now, you people whine and complain about the God fearing Christians who post and you ridicule them and tell them to go to the faith board and stop all the Bible mumbo jumbo because they are freaks, etc. but you seem to be fine with extreme Islam and them wanting to kill everyone who doesn't believe like they do.
Whether you want to believe it or not, Obama has put us all at great risk with these witch hunts. We will be hit by terrorists again. I'm not the only one who thinks that. Just look at the people in NYC who ran for their lives when they pulled the idiotic photo op with Air Force One flying low over the city. People freaked out! Now...obviously that wasn't a terrorist attack but people are still scared and they should be. You can't reason with terrorists. They will not stop trying to kill us until we kill them first.
I hope he makes it (world is crazy)

Not in the real world of dems/libs who are

Get in the real world...........no doubt you're one

You should come back and visit the real world sometime
Must be nice to live in a delusional world blaming things on a past president, unless of course that president is a crat, and then you blame the previous one. And on top of that you blame past president and praise the current president for the stock market fluctuance. DH works in stocks/trading. He knows how markets are manipulated. Nothing to do with the pres. Come back sometime though and visit us in the real world and realize that the market goes up and down on daily basis. So you are correct in your post. I'd definitely look into what you eluded to. We'd miss you here if you don't get better. - Be well.
Then sit down if it makes you feel better.
See, the posting was supposed to be humorous. It made me laugh out loud, several times. This is called the LIBERAL board and it's provided for us liberals to post our thoughts as well as post serious items as well as humorous items. Please keep this in mind. If you have a problem with this humorous article please complain about it on the CON board.
Rant away if it makes you feel better.
You've gotton so many things wrong, it's laugable.
First of all, saying "people like you" once again shows your lack of understanding of the situation. I do not protest outside of abortion clinics. Sorry to disappoint you, but I don't.
Much like you don't want religion in your politics, I don't want somebody's stinking LACK of morals in MY politics. Gay marriage. Late-term abortion. Did you ever stop to think that THAT might be offense to others? No. Because people like you are so busy beating your chests like gorillas and proclaiming how liberal and open-minded you lot are. When all the while you're trying to stomp on anyone and everyone who has the audicity to display a little faith in God.
As far as "running all over the world" - you're just running your mouth instead of your brain. I go to Russia twice a year. Russia is not "all over the world" but I suppose I can blame the public school system who apparently didn't let you in on that little secret.
And "that perfect little baby" once again shows your inabilty to comprehend the situation. You have no idea about the conditions I've seen in Russian orphanages. They are little more than warehouses for children, so that particular high horse of yours is lame as well. Why don't YOU go advocate for the foster kids in America? Better yet, don't. It wouldn't be fair to the kids.
If you had any capacity for learning, you would have rememberd that I have a WHOLE HOUSEFUL of adopted children. All are special needs, all are from the foster care system right here in the good 'ol USA. So your comment "children here are just too much of a pain in the a$$ for you" is offensive and, once again, totally off base.
I have never rambled about how wonderful I am. Nor have I said how $hitty anyone else is, though in your case I will make an exception. If you think I'm boasting it's because you have an inferiority complex.
I'm sorry if you want me to cry and pat you on your little head and feel sorry for you and how hard the abortion was on YOU. I'm sure there are plenty of P.C. posters who will crowd all around you and applaud your courageous decision to kill an infant instead of doing the right, albeit more difficult, thing and leaving your abusive husband and caring for yourself and your child. Too bad you didn't have the support system of a good Christian church to help you make a better decision. I don't have any patience for people who martyr themselves and then want everyone to throw them a big pity party.
I hope that makes you feel better
Now why don't you just let it go?
Not enough money in world to feel like I am drowning
I think you would have to be screwy to even think about it. 50,000 is not a lot of money to me.
Go ahead and spout gt if makes you feel better
however, you are only making a fool of yourself along with the namby pamby liberals who write stuff like this.
"I feel like I smack dab in the middle of one of those end of the world scenarios! " sm
Exactly!
Folks, we may not even need to worry about taxes and abortion and gay marriages and high winter heating bills. We may need to turn our attention to wars and pestilance and plagues instead. I STRONGLY urge everyone that, if you do not have a relationship with Jesus Christ, you make this your first order of business. Flame me if you want, but all the "promises" Obama has made will pale in comparison to what is coming if you are left behind.
Makes you feel all warm and cozy, doesn't it.
.
His news conference yesterday...and there are a few real conservative economists left in the world..
that know his plans won't work, economic, healthcare and all the others.
Obama is doomed to fail miserably, and will probably blame someone else for it all (wait for it....It's Bush's fault...well, and maybe it'll be Congress' fault too, when things fail to work out according to his great plans).
Socialism doesn't work. Ask any true economist, and ask any historian how well Russia, Cuba, Venezuela socialism has worked out.
What a trash mouth....make you feel real good to be profane with a stranger on a posting board??
and yes, it is murder. When you kill a human being, its murder. You can justify it, rationalize it, whatever it takes so that you feel good about killing it....but it is murder. Very simple...it is living and growing. You introduce a foreign object and slice it into pieces and suck it out of the one place that should be SAFE. Biology 101...the child is alive. It is growing. would not grow if it was not alive. The life was terminated. That's murder.
And of the 1.2 million abortions performed in this country every year, how may do you think are due to rape (by anyone), incest, or to protect the life of the mother? Less than 20%. All the others are oops abortions. So let's start with delegalizing abortion except in the case of rape, incest, and endangering the life of the mother. That would save about 800,000 babies a year. That would be a great place to start. It might also encourage better stewardship of those uteruses you want the government to stay out of. You don't mind the government going in there to kill babies though, do you?
So now you want to round up all the pregnant women who are poor and abort their kids? You hinting that poor kids aren't loved by their parents?
Another indictment
Delay is indicted today on money laundering charges. The neocons Bill Krystal, Pat Buchanan, someone from the weekly standard are depressed, disappointed and worried about the new court appointment. Maybe this means that this woman is a reasonable human being, not too far right, not too far left...from my keyboard to God's ear.
In the indictment
on page 3, 4th line from the bottom, FBI agent David Cain refers to his "review of consensually-recorded conversations" and goes on to describe ingoing and outgoing phone call devices which (according to news reports on CNN earlier today) were placed in the governor's campaign office and on his campaign phones, but not in the governor's office.
I am confused about whose consent they refer to there. Would the gov himself ever consent to the bugs or are they speaking of separate entities who agreed to be bugged on their person? I am asking because Blagojevich himself was complaining about open wire taps versus secret wire taps when he claimed everything he said was legal.
I am thinking these are separate individuals who agreed to be bugged for purposes of entrapment. Maybe I am trying to read too much into this, but if you hear anything, could you please post?
Libby under indictment,
Rove in the grand jury for the fifth time. Claude Allen arrested. The Wilkes-Cunningham prostitution scandal, Abramoff, DeLay, Enron...I am so glad integrity has been restored to the White House.
Yeah one indictment and you think you've brought the Republicans down
Stupid should hurt. As much as ya'll scream and whine it must.
Everytime you end up with egg on your face. It's really hilarious to sit back and watch liberals have a victory party before there's even any court hearings or before the political chips can fall. Oh the chips are going to fall, but I doubt they'll be where you want them to be.
Yes, it makes me feel better, my body is my body
and nobody can tell me what to do with my body or what is in my body till the 120th day!
And to 'sm' or 'm' or whatever she calls herself on this board, I wish the same she wished to 'abc' in her nasty reply 11/16/08.
And I have become VERY thick skinned
No, goofy. Republicans are REAL people, real
nm
If the real folks, with real hope, faith, and
and for our country's future who participate here on this forum were just a tad as healthy, wealthy and wise as this poster considers herself, we probably wouldn't be sitting in front of these silly computers trying to make a living!! Can't figure why she is here other than tell us how healthy, wealthy and wise she is and we are not!
and I feel like makin *du du duu du du duu* feel like maaa-k-in love to YOU!
ARGH!!
You feel someone should be forced to do something they feel is wrong? sm
Sounds like communism to me.
I do not feel sorry for the 'terrorists', I feel
sorry for those who are (or soon were) held there and are innocent.
You are such a joke, gt. sm
You think there is only one patriot here? Get a trip on your sour shrivled heart and try not to speak.
what a joke
You truly are a JOKE, LOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOL..a joke. I live in reality and deal with reality..you, however, through YOUR posts have proven you are nothing but a joke.bye bye neocon..
LOL..JOKE!
Joke
MUJIBAR
Mujibar was trying to get a job in India.
The Personnel Manager said, Mujibar, you have passed all the tests,
Except one. Unless you pass it you cannot qualify for this job.
Mujibar said, I am ready.
The manager said, Make a sentence using the words Yellow, Pink and Green.
Mujibar thought for a few minutes and said, Mister manager, I am ready.
The manager said, Go ahead.
Mujibar said, The telephone goes green, green, green, and I pink it up, and say, 'Yellow, this is Mujibar.'
Mujibar now works as a technician at a call center for computer problems.
No doubt you have spoken to him.
Actually the joke is on us all...sm
First, yes there are terrorist. They attacked us on 9-11. The joke started with the trumped up war against Iraq. That mind you went from a war because of WMD, then a war to rid the world of a brutal dictator, then Operation Iraqi freedom, and now finally operation quagmire.
Ask yourself a couple questions ever so often and see if you still can laugh. *Did Al Quaeda reside in Iraq BEFORE the war????* Or even *Was Iraq a hot bed for terrorist BEFORE the war????*
The issue of the port protection is a different story. I think it would be in America's best interest to develop a US based security company or team. We should not be depending on *outsourced* protection. That's downright sloppy to me. I wouldn't care what country it was.
Is that a joke?
Because it sounds like the answer to the war on terror to me. 
Okay, now for a joke.
Rush *Limp*baugh blames liberals because Americans are fat. Huh?....talk about intellectually confused. http://mediamatters.org/items/20060829013
joke joke joke
Obama is chocolate, biden is vanilla. It never works when you have to explain your jokes. Mea culpa.
Oh come on - it's a joke! Do you truly believe everything
???
some joke-
NOT. What an awful thing to say, that that death would be a joke to anyone. Rights - what about responsibilities, like the responsibility to use some form of contraception other than abortion? I know you will come back with the rape, incest, endangered health of mother, and those are valid. But reality is that a large percentage of abortions are not performed for those reasons but for the "convenience" of the mother. And being that irresponsible is not a "right."
Because she's a joke.
What a joke........
May I suggest you go to their country and see how peaceful they live with you? So many try to defend something they haven't bother to study.
The holiest book of Islam draws the sharpest of distinctions between Muslims and non-Muslims, lavishing praise on the former while condemning the latter. Far from teaching universal love, the Qur'an incessantly preaches the inferiority of non-Muslims, even comparing them to vile animals and gloating over Allah's hatred of them and his dark plans for their eternal torture. Naturally, the harsh treatment of non-believers by Muslims is encouraged as well.
Does that sound like a loving tolerant people to you?
This has got to be a JOKE!!!
Of all the nerve!! I think this person needs to be banned from this site, as obviously this person is not in the MT field and just spreading a bunch of garbage to rile people up.
No, you did not mean it as a joke.
What's your problem. Is the pressure getting to you? Then stay off this board.
It's hot in here.
can't even take a joke
x
I have seen this joke before...
All you have to do is replace Obama with Bush and you have the same joke.
Just a joke...(sm)
From an episode of Seinfeld.....I need one at my house too...LOL
Also see: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HQFLqMyo0fo
Festivus is an annual holiday created by writer Dan O'Keefe and introduced into popular culture by his son Daniel, a scriptwriter for the TV show Seinfeld.[1][2] Although the original Festivus took place in February 1966 as a celebration of O'Keefe's first date with his wife, Deborah,[2] many people now celebrate the holiday on December 23, as depicted on the December 18, 1997 Seinfeld episode "The Strike".[1][3] According to O'Keefe, the name Festivus "just popped into his head."[2] The holiday includes novel practices such as the "Airing of Grievances", in which each person tells everyone else all the ways they have disappointed him or her over the past year. Also, after the Festivus meal, the "Feats of Strength" are performed, involving wrestling the head of the household to the floor, with the holiday only ending if the head of the household is actually pinned. These conventions originated with the TV episode. The original holiday featured far more peculiar practices, as detailed in the younger Daniel O'Keefe's book The Real Festivus, which provides a first-person account of an early version of the Festivus holiday as celebrated by the O'Keefe family, and how O'Keefe amended or replaced details of his father's invention to create the Seinfeld episode.[4]
It was a JOKE... nm
Read the full story rather than taking and posting remarks out of context to further your own agenda.
What a joke!
Your post doesn't even deserve a response.
No joke!
End of the year garden veggie soup - nothing better! We ate a lot of soup growing up, too, but I think that's why I hate chili so much now! =)
