DO NOT CRITICISE NANCY
Don Arthur offers a critical leftish view on Nancy Pelosi—for which he is condemned as a right-wing death beast. Interesting.
Dave S.: And that is particularly amusing in light of their constant and loud criticism of Bush’s “if you’re not with us, you are against us” belief, and his ability to actually distinguish black and white from shades of grey, and say so.

Our Australian friends can get out the lawn chairs and popcorn for once to enjoy the show.
I think this next two years in WashingToonDC will piss off both the wingers and the moonbats. Everyone will be faux-pandering to the middle with an eye on ‘08. Giuliani, McCain, Clinton,...oh my.
It will be micro-politics as usual with the big stuff too dangerous to touch.
Until we get hit again.
Folks, I think the answer is fairly straightforward - we live in a post-logical age. Information and facts do not matter. Emotion and feelings matter. Superego is out. Id is in. And so the correct answer for anything that anyone does not want to believe is “Bullshit”. Try it - you’ll be surprised how well it works. You too can love Big Brother. (*)
Just remember - the bell tolls for thee.
(*) . . . bullshit

Given that they tend to be self-centered, I’d say that you hit the nail on the head, PW.

Slight cultural correction needed, trainer.
In Oz it’s more ‘patio chairs, crisps and Tim Tams’.
Popcorn is still mainly a cinema affectation borrowed from you, and chairs on the lawn usually need a large shade cloth -it’s pretty hot here in Summer even near our coasts.Accurate point, though. Is Pelosi a few French fries short of a Happy Meal?
‘patio chairs, crisps and Tim Tams’
I will remember that for the next time we do something everlastingly stupid for your amusement.
Pelosi has a brilliant political mind, the ability to raise tons of money, and the ethics of a sand flea. She’s a natural for places like Chicago and New Jersey, but landed in San Francisco. She’s Speaker because she’s been able to last longer than any of her rivals in Washingtoon...that should tell you something. Think Attila the Hen.
What we are wondering is if her political mind is thinking about ‘08 which will require moderation, or if moonbattery will set in.

That will last precisely as long it takes the kids today to inherit the bill for the boomers’ self-indulgence. Assuming we survive that long, there will be an enormous backlash against that whole sordid generation…

This is the way it’s always been here in Korea, and, trust me, it ain’t pretty.

Richard: As a guy born in 1963, it pisses me off to no end when I see some schmuck identify the baby boomers as going up to 1964. DO NOT LUMP ME IN WITH THAT GENERATION. OK, I feel better now.

Actually I date the Superego Slump from about 1958 when Elvis took over pop.
I recall getting blank stares when I asked what he was singing about -it didn’t MATTER, so he had a whole career of emotive pap, redeemed only by the Beatles in 64..In the consumer world it’s only a small step to thinking Nothing matters but feelings.
I’ve had my fingers crossed for 40 years, and here comes a Dhimmicrat Congress.. ....#19, paco:
The DNC, as a party, exists off of old school corruption, financial shenanigans and political theft. They are immune to an issues involving ethics. Hell, the DNC wont even leave the dead alone when it comes time to stuff ballot boxes.
The only difference between the DNC today and the old “Tammany Hall” days or “the Chicago Machine” of Daley is real time communications and established disbursal systems for the graft and kickbacks at a national level.
