The Dictatorship Olympics – And Favre’s Blunder – And DHS Again
The games people play…
As the Olympics begin, we should note the ugly history of the world games, impacted by repression and violence. The German-hosted Olympics in the 1930′s was designed to be a cover for the most threatening regime in modern history. Our athletes performed with grit and determination, despite the cloud hanging over Europe and the world as the murderous dictator tried to put on a happy face. Some of the world was fooled, including American sympathizers Joseph Kennedy and Charles Lindbergh. But Americans saw through the farce, and war was not far away.
The 1972 Olympics were marred by the murders of Israeli athletes. It was the beginning of 36 years of murderous extremism by Islamic fascists. The atmosphere of the games was grim, but the pride of the world’s finest athletes was on display.
And so it is in China. China is a world power, an economic giant, but it is still a nation invested in totalitarian techniques and outward repression. Censorship, political massacres and instant executions are still a fabric of its government. Imagine the nerve of the goverment there to block an American gold medal winner, an activist for peace, to enter the country. As athletes from around the world gather this week, we, as a nation, and as a people, should remember that the host nation is not our friend, and would if possible, bring us to the brink of economic collapse.

I have always been a Brett Favre fan. He is gritty, has great determination, and has been a model for pro athletes, until now. Favre is now headed to the Jets, after trying to publicly force his way back into the Green Bay Packers. His ambition and lack of concern for the only pro team he has played for, are telling. His attempt to muscle his way back into the lineup shows a side that we had never seen. It was a blunder. And it takes the shine off an illustrious career. Knowing when to quit and when to refocus our lives can be very important. Favre should also set an example on that front.
************************************************************************************************
Mayor Nutter’s blast at the Department of Human Services was justified and appropriate. So were his comments to DHS employees that he understands that there are ethical and valued employees at the troubled agency. But make no mistake about it. This agency, for many decades, has let down many children through its bureaucracy, and in some cases, unconscionable neglect. It is time for DHS to tell the story of its successes, but to not in the process gloss over its crisis. Glossing over its challenges will only open the door for more kids to fall through the cracks.

“to not in the process gloss over its crisis”
Gentlemen, we have the gold medal winner in the Olympic freestyle split infinitive category.
China is embarrassing itself in the way in which it’s handling the games and protesters. In many respects, it’s drawing far more negative attention to itself than the protesters ever could alone.
What’s phonier,the Olympics or the Tour de France ? Please wake me when it’s over.Actually,I be;lieve a couple of hijackings proceeded the massacre at Munich & thus began the reign of terrorism.Islamic,that is.
Some people don’t know when to quit.Brett Favre, meet Steve Carlton.
I hope I didn’t dangle any particples.Would prefer not to win any medals on this blog.
Larry,there are two ways to take the Olympics boycott the games or sit back and enjoy the drama the host of the games have the most control,,if you only want the USA to compete in certain countries then just drop out for good,,that is not the spirit of the olympics.
******
Brett Favre brought the Packers back they were horrible after the Lombardi days his career is not tarnished if he can still play and he played great last season he will bring excitement to NY Jets,,it’s the Packers that fumbled the ball.
******
Thank God for the D.A.Office they will bring changes to DHS,,when the DA shows up on your caller ID people get a little nervous and start talking.
******
Larry,it’s hard to believe that team Obama have snubbed the injured soldiers a couple weeks ago and now they are snubbing the Bill and Hillary,,the Obama’s are treating the Clinton’s like the Jefferson’s it’s very hard to win without the Clinton’s, they are truly America’s First Family.
******
Pat,I am buying what you a selling,it is very hard to vote for someone with Obama’s limited experience and his troubles with rev wracist and with his militant wife,that New Yorker cover was right on target,and the John McCain commercials are HILLarious.
*******
Larry and Pat and all the sock puppets: Good Luck and God Bless.
Jack “patty whack’ Russell is back! Welcome back Jack, I missed you and glad you’re back for the conventions.
Larry, I can’t believ you used the term Islamo-fascist. And you really seem to hate China, what did they ever do to you or Israel?
Joe Kennedy is a Nazi sympathizer? Obviously interesting table talk at the Kane hosehold thses days. Do you have evidence of this or is it just the coventional wisbom around the pool in Boca Raton?
jr, where’s pat? Or is that another of your sock puppets? Are you hearing voices? Seek help.
Don’t throw the Olympics away with the bath water because site locations made 16 years in advance are or are not politically correct.
The Olympics are more a mirror of the times than anything else.
Up until the advent of athletes cashing in for $Ms with Olympic Gold and the “Dream Team” marketing foil, the Olympics were about the purest athletic event. Now all sports are all about TV and advertising revenue.
Like 95% of NCAA athletes, most Olympic athletes won’t cash in big.
Personally I can’t wait for the Olympics to start. Aside from the omnipresent, swarmy Bob Costas and endless commercials, it’s the best thing on tv this summer.
Can’t think of a really good Olympic moment since Team USA defeated the Central Red Army in the ’80 hockey semifinals.This might turn out to be one of the worst.
Brett Favre made the mistake back in the winter with his teary eyed farewell press conference. His ‘farewell tour’ last year set the expectation that he would leave gracefully.
Now trying to shoot his way back into town after everyone had laid him to rest (figuratively) is more than the biggest Brett Favre fan can stomach. Playing for Minnesota or Da Bears would have more than they could take.
What better place to send a hick from MS and a small market team like GB than NYC?
All that being said, despite bad form, who are we to say that Brett Favre is done? He looked pretty good last year.
Hey JR, the Jeffersons were law obiding citizens. Don’t confuse them with the First Felons. I bet Vince Foster would still be alive if he had worked for the Jeffersons.
Somebody correct me if I’m wrong but I understand that China has spent 47 BILLION dollars on this olympics. A bit excessive don’t you think?
Ed, that’s only, like, 8,563 euros.
It’s a coming out party for China.
$500M for Bird’s Nest Stadium
$50M for Swimming Cube
$200M for roads and infrastructrure
Algae, smog and traffic… PRICELESS
George, Leo, are you trying to bully JR off the site? JR, don’t be so sensitive. Free Air is becoming a reality. A new President will be elected. The price of gas is coming down. Pretty soon, you’ll be pulling your “Life is Good” t-shirts out of the bottom of your drawers.
FAFL, at least until Obama gets elected and Obama-nomics get enacted. With Pelosi running the asylum, Edwards as Atty General and emptysuit Obama in the White House the only way things could get any worse is if the Clintons are somehow included in a significant way. I’m begging Obama to make Hillary ambassador to China and Bill ambassador to the Vatican.
When it comes to this olympics all things considered I’d rather be in Phila.
*****************************************
Why doesn’t Al Gore take his Nobel prize over to Beijing and start lecturing those people about the causes of global warming, over population, human rights and maybe the evils of excessive spending.
*****************************************
When Chairman Mao began to modernize China he starved millions of people. When leaders began to complain to Mao that something should be done his response was,the starved will make for good fertilizer.
*****************************************
People don’t become swept up in this coming out party. As Larry noted,China is not our friend.
Ed, uncharacteristically adopting the JR format, you can’t separate an Olympic Committee decision made in 1992 to grant Beijing the Olympics in 2008 from today’s games and politics?
China is more our enemy because we fear that they will eventually replace us as the the world leader. Significantly more population, gathering technology, vast natural untapped resources and a militaristic nature. That’s what we fear. Human rights issues, stealing jobs and technologies, cheaper manufacturing and export imbalance are just hand waving items. We fear the day that China is ready to roll over eastern Asia.
OOOJ-Relax, you have a better chance of seeing God than of Obama being elected.And Edwards is too busy with his new girl friend.The Clinton’s are re-tooling for 2012.Did I leave anyone out ? Oh,Pelosi.Can’t have everything.
YFAP, I wish you were right but I don’t see the Republicans weakest possible choice, McCain, as beating even a strawman. Obama-mania has convinced even bright guys like Leo that he’s da man.
BTW, what does that say about “the man of the people”, Edwards, with a wife fighting cancer for her life on the road campaigning for him in the next hotel room? Phony?
toooj, “what does that say about “the man of the people”, Edwards, with a wife fighting cancer for her life on the road campaigning for him in the next hotel room?”
Why don’t you ask McCain’s first wife. He was sleeping around with Cindy Beer Hilton after his first wife was injured, etc., and before they were divorced.
China is our friend, not our best friend, but that friend you knew in elematary school, one who studied and kept to himself, and rarely sat at your lunch table. But by high school China is bigger, smarter, harder working and better at sports than you. You’re like wow, I wish I made more of an effort being friends with China back in elementary school, because now China has it really going on and doesn’t need me. China remembers how luke warm I was to him years back, so he now hangs with India, Brazil, Russia, Iran (for her oil and hooters) so I’m odd man out, plus I now need China to help me finance myself thropugh college because I didn’t save and figured I’d just borrow, but China has other friends to lend too, and enjoys seeing me suffering and in need of capital.
Larry, China doesnt like you either, because you also pretended he didnt exist, and now you’re worried because he’s the top dog, and your light is dimming as you scrimp and save for air, gas, and Septa tokens. It’s really sad.
LB, both are despicable if the stories are true. The difference is that Edwards are as “a man for the people” interested in everyone. Except his wife I guess. McCain is aloof and out of touch.
George, I see China as the dangerously quiet kid through 8th grade who brings guns to high school and lights up his fellow students in a cold and calculating way.
BTW, China has, nor ever will, hear of Larry. I know you were speaking metaphorically.
George-I understand the allegorical part of your posting,but “our friend” ? That ship sailed a long time ago.Way back when Chiang Kai Shek was still “our man ” & even before the Chinesse crossed the Yalu during the Korean War.They’ve been tweaking us ever since.
YFAP, are you a history teacher on summer break?
OOOJ-No,nothing like that.Though I did manage to graduate from seventh grade.
I for one will be watching Michael Phelps in his quest for Olympic history, the Women’s Gymnastic Team in search of gold and men’s track & field in hopes of new World Records. The rest of you can watch Law and Order re-runs on TNT or finish building a boat in a bottle.
Steroid aided new World Records.Not quite as bad as the Tour de France but closing the gap.
YFAP, you’re right , they have been tweaking us and drinking our milkshake via trade. We have no choice but to be friends with them now, so let’s make the best of it. The sun is setting on America’s best days, just as it did on the British Empire. China, Russia, India, much of Latin America will ultimately have much greater influence and we will have to learn to act more like a peer country, rather than the lone super power who thinks he can dictate to the dictators- its not happening- we will ultimately do what the dictators tell us to do.
Does China deliver?? I’m getting hungry.
Hey, since everyone is into savings these days, check out the highest rate being offerend by an internet bank, fully FDIC insured!
http://www.dollarsavingsdirect.com
They pay 3.75% with only a $1,000 minimum deposit! Larry, its easy to use and links to your existing checking account.
No need to thank me, you’re all welcome in advance, its the least I can do to help you guys during this economic downturn. Let’s start saving like the Chinese so we can compete with them, rather than just complain about them!
Ben-Glad to see you’re still on that “pay yourself first” kick.After all these centuries.
Yes the Olympics are great to watch in the dog days of summer,no matter what country they are in,i am a big fan of woman’s track and field, swimming and woman’s volleyball but all the games are good.

no wait-wait-wait-wait-wait will Obama come back from vacation (hawaii or will he change his mind and go to alaska)with some new ideas besides filling our tires with air?
Jack is back-with a venegance.
I’m a little suspicious that’s really Jack… Jack is that you? We need a piece of Jack Russel Trivia to make sure.
A) what type and color bike did you ride in 1970s
B)what is you favorite color pants suit for Hillary?
You need to get both right for me to be sure its you.
Seperately, Ben Franklin, I just checked out that internet bank you mentioned that yileds 3.75%, its for real! I just opened an account. Thanks Ben, a penny saved is a penny earned!
Now we know what two Americas John Edwards was talking about. He always seemed sleazy and disingeneous, but I believed him when he denied rumors in July , thinking he’s never going to do that with his wife being so sick. It was like the Clinto finger wag all over again, but up a notch because his wife is dying- he has no shame!
JR, thanks for your version of the Olympics: BabeWatch
LB, can believe you took that shot over your bow.
JR. my particular favorite is women’s diving. It gets so cold up there on the board…
I think vetting our politicians has replaced baseball as our national past time. If we all practiced what we preached what would life be like? We would probably all be Larry Kane klones.
booooooooring, unopinionated, politically correct, fence straddling, neolib, straight laced, prudish…….. ZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz
Quick question to anyone tuned in. What are you watching tonight if you say home.
The Eagles, Phillies, or the Olympics? BTW Edwards apparently just confessed to having an affair……….
Who said religion is the opiate of the people?
CHINA!
HAS RISEN!
The opening ceremony is going to set the world straight as to who the super power of the 21st century will be.
The olympics are no longer as important as they used to be since PING PONG has become an olympic sport. Why isn’t badminton an olympic sport? Oh….. it is?
The only thing missing at the opening ceremony at the Chinese olympics is CHAIRMAN MAO!!!!!!!!
How about General Tso
Leo, did you see the thousands of sock puppets in the Olympic Opening Ceremony? Pretty impressive.
Ed, you are really down on China the Olympics. Didn’t you ever aspire to becoming an Olympic athlete as a kid before you became old and jaded? I better not catch you ordering in chinese food or buying any electronics the next 2 weeks.
According to Free Air Anonymous (FAA), 83% of all gas stations in China offer free air compressors. Only 3% of US gas stations offer free air. Maybe we should all move to China?
The FREE AIR in China is heavily polluted. It eats away at rubber. It’s an embarrassment to their nation, and they’re very sensitive about it. So, whatever you do, don’t put a mask over your valve stem before you fill it with FREE Chinese AIR.
I’m still trying to figure out where JR saw Pat in this thread. My guess is that he used the wrong name for one of his sock puppets.
I suspect that JR is actually John Edwards and that he’s been trying to father a love child with Hillary Clinton while his wife dies of cancer. I hear that Hillary is in to that kind of kinky stuff.
FAFL, I do aspire to become an Olympian. I’m just waiting until shooting darts and swilling beer becomes an Olympic event. Since the next Olympics are in England my chances look good unless those pompous cricket players get their way…..
Ed, Leo continues to shoot darts at JR. Our favorite terrier is terrorized.
Leo, if JR is using sock puppets to participate, which blogger names do you suspect to be his sock puppets? Terminate the Colonel is my guess.
I did not have sex with that woman. Well at least I did not have a baby with that woman. At least you can’t prove it. At least I’m going away to hide in shame.
They’ve begun killing Americans in China just hours after the opening ceremony. I sincerly apoligize to Americans for this. Please do not come to China Town in Philadelphia to retaliate. The killer did the honorable thing and killed himself. We so sorry, we also so horny for gold medals!
That John Edwards is a sleaze bag,now Obama will have to answer the question has he ever cheated on his angry wife?
******
Did Obama know about this in May when He and Edwards had that dog and pony show in Michigan,the pundits used Edwards endorsement as the end to Hillary Clinton.
******
I am so glad Edwards did not endorse Hillary.
******
That was a very impressive show at the games last night.
******
George:black and any color.
******
Question: Leo-what is your favorite Olympic game?
***
Answer: Leo-the pole vault!:)
******
Ed-I’m watching the Phils & Mrs.Yankee is watching the Birds.No Olympics in the Yankee household.And someone got killed already.Coulda had them here.
Jack ,it is you, welcome back!
John Edwards, on the one hand its not surprising since he always seemed disingenuous, but for him to know that scandle lurked and to suck in all of those supporters and their money is beyond belief. Even his apology last night seemed scripted and fake. I hope his wife passes peacefully and his children can get on with their lives. I wish testicular cancer on John Edwards, the apology was a too little too late, he needs to suffer, and the best place for that is where Jesse Jackson like to operate, its politcal justice Mr Edwards!
Let the games begin!
Honarary US Team members:
Leo – Greco Roman Wrestling – left to your own interpretation
Pat – Softball – go play with the girls
OOOJ – Swimming – you’re in over your head
JR – Shooting – excuse to use telescopic lens to view female participants in skimpy outfits
YFAP – Water Polo – leave the patch and bandanna on shore
Ed – Weightlifting – leave the heavy lifting to Leo
fafl – Volleyball – just keep the balls properly inflated
George – Decathalon – 10 ways to be miserable
TTC – Triathlon – a way to change identity 3 times in one day
Ben Franklin – Fencing – beating the French at their own game, again
Le Ho Hoof – Equestrian – hoof and mouth disease or EEE
YAFP – Sailing – make sure you sail into the right port
sock puppets everwhere – Handball – keep your hands out of your pockets
How bout those shorts the girls were wearing playing volleyball against Japan.
Jacques-very funny stuff-you left off Larry.
***
The Olympics are great spectator sport,sometimes we forget how great the Olympics are,it’s good entertainment..even some of the commercials are good..
***
George-John Edwards had me fooled I don’t know how he thought he could pull that off, he’s no Bill Clinton.
Larry – Archery – continously missing target and no William Tell to be sure.
Jon Edwards – Kayaking – everything looked good until his world turned upside down
I caught a game without a name. These girls, I think they were girls played on a field with a ball and tried to toss the ball into the opponents net. The net was a cross between a soccer goal and a lacross goal. What game doesn’t qualify for Olympic competition? If dodgeball doesn’t make the next Olympics the US should boycott!!
Team Handball, Ed, one of our fastest moving, most entertaining games. Perhaps you should be watching Dodgeball: The Movie, Ed. Or Robin Hood: Men in Tights.
The Phila Olympics consists of dodgecars, dodgepolice, dodgebullets and dodgespikedfences. Those fences can be a real killer.
As you probabl
Hey Jacques it must take someone with a certain IQ to appreciate such a fast moving exciting game. When you are not watching Team Handball do your doctors let you have any visitors or do you just fall back into a vegetative state?
You are speaking to the President of the IOC. I would expect you to give me the proper respect and salutation commensurate with my position.
I can tell you Philly is not even on the short list for the X Games so you’ll have to continue playing solitaire on your computer in the basement until its your turn to respond.
Jacques, Philadelphia doesn’t need to be sactioned by the effete in order to conduct their games. Dodgebullets and dodgepolice is played everyday in Phila.
BTW I probaly have a better view from my basement than you have since your head is so far up the China’s ass you can’t tell what time is….
You French think the whole world still revolves around you. Napoleon has been dead for quite some time. Yeah I know Lafyette came over to help out the revolutionaries but that doesn’t make up by a long shot for WW1 or WW2.
Now that the US is becoming the next France maybe we should get together and do lunch.
I don’t care if he is Belgium they are all French to me
Please don’t refer to me as French. I’m as Belgiun as a waffle, and less fruity.
Waterloo, the end of Napolean, is in Belgium. We hate the French too. They keep getting us involved in their world wars.
Do you have windows in your basement or are you dependent on the internet for weather reports?
I’m watching girls beach ball with my pants around my ankles, is that how its done in America?
Chinese girls have been studying beach ball in Southern CA for last 5 years and we hire white coach. But we dont wear bikini, so keep pants up! We take gold, and drink another milkshake as you Americans now know!
Lee Ho, whoa whoa! Hands off your pants.
China is going down. Perhaps you as well.
Tin soldiers an Hu-Wen coming
We’ll never hear freedom ring
This summer I hear the drumming
One dead in old Beijing
Larry, did you see that a Chinese citizen ended up murdering an American in Bejing? Do you think your harsh assessment of China had anything to do with that?
Also, China hasn’t brought us to the brink of economic collapse. Americans, aided and abetted by the Clintons and Dubya, have managed to do that to ourselves.
Many of the sock puppets commenting on your blog are expressing homophobic sentiments about my alleged sexual orientation, Larry. You have attracted a pretty narrow-minded audience in that respect. When people (or, more specifically, dogs) are incapable of making substantive points, they often resort to that kind of ad hominem hijinks, especially when they think they have a veil of anonymity. It’s part of what’s wrong with our great republic.
It’s the Rabid Dogs Days of Summer, Leo.
What do you expect?
Why all the paranoia about people call you homo Leo? I dont see that talk about you. You lucky you not in China,you know what they do with the homos there? You could end up in a dish of beef chow mein, and Neil Young sing about you!
Boys, I just got back from my mountain bike ride. My tires were deflated and my seat kept sliding down. On the way home I stopped at an Exxon station. 75 cents to inflate my tires. Not only was riding twice the work with deflated tires but I had to pay for air to boot. Is there an irony here (or am I just stupid)? At least I’m not homosexual, not that there is anything wrong with that.
Lee Ho, can you wok “our” dog?
George, what’s with wishing cancer on people? No other way to express your displeasure?
Let the games rebegin!
Leo, do not question the all knowing and extremely wise IOC Committee Chairman. I’m not a homophobe but again I am from Belgium. I’m a man of all people.
FJ, where is your Olympic spirit?
I hereby make you an honorary member of the US Olympic team.
FJ – Gymastics – bending and twisting everything
Where have all the puppets gone?
Long time passing.
All, if you saw the 4X100M swimming relay last night you could not help but get excited. One of the greatest finishes I’ve ever seen. Sacre bleu!
Those of you not watching the Olympics, will you be watching the conventions in 3 weeks? That will be like watching paint dry.
did anybody else watch the gymnastics events ? the chinese were incredible,especially the nine yr.old with purple eye liner.reminded me of the great romanian teams that bela karolyi coached.nadia somethiung & many others.those romanian girls were sultry,must be the paprika.
Please do not view Olympics as means to watch young girls (or boys) in tight outfits, especially 12 year old Chinese. Go to internet to see such things.
If Neil Young’s nickname is Shakey,what’s Neil Yang’s ? Chakai ? Shakai ?
Marco _____
YFAP, where have you been? Here’s what have you missed this weekend.
Leo is concerned about thinly veiled homosexual references.
JR has returned under his own name and 2 sock puppets.
Olympics reigned this weekend.
Larry is nowhere to be found.
Ed is debating the IOC Chairman.
Pretty much business as usual.
Larry i have been racking my head trying to figure out what your three themes have in common. It finally dawned on me it is all about the money.
China spending it, Farve earning a lot more of it and the DHS wasting it.
Even Jacques Rogge might have figured that out but I doubt Neil Young would have. Larry these three and four day marathons with no change in subject matter by you is worse than having someone ghost write a column or two for you. That is unless you are trying to break up this bunch of hooligan misfits who turn your blog into a rampaging pirate and sock puppet manifestation. When you do reset your blog please change the name “The Insider info” is so not you….
This thread’s dead Zed…
How come I’m now all in red Ed?
I’ve been a miner for a medal of gold
It’s these expressions I never give
That keep me searching for a medal of gold.
And I’m getting old.
Can’t tell your Eds without a program.
If Ed has gone red, does that mean he’s now a Communist or just a Democrat?
Neil I know its you, I can tell by your god awful rhyming. They don’t get much older than you unless of course you include Mick Jagger. Just go back to playing your harmonica or you might end up like Isaac Hayes or Bernie Mac. These things happen in threes you know.
I think the Chineezzze are getting back at me for putting down their olympics.
Hey Red Ed, I got a harmonica you can play. Please don’t compare me to Mick Jagger. I was never as good as Mick.
Things in 3s. Like 3 different Eds?
Ed,
Get the red out. Use Visine.
Red Skeleton is dead so is Red Buttons and the Red Barron. Lucille Ball is dead you know that fuuny red head. So is Eric the Red, Red Grange and Red Auerbach. On the brighter side the Yankees ARE dead but not the Red Sox….
I’m going to give Carrot Top a call and find out what it is like being Red
Yours Truely, Ed The Red….
Yo Ed, stop stealing my stuff.
i hit the chinese city & i lost my hand
i watched the medals take another man
Gone,gone the damage done.
Is it true Issac Hayes got the shaft?
Is it true Bernie Mac is not coming back?
Say it’s not so Ed the Red.
I think Ed has put the final nail in the coffin of this thread…..nuf said…please no more red…..give me some lead….I wanna drop dead…..such a short life I’ve led……where is my bed….
All of the sudden there is a loud explosive soud of a gun going off the screen turns black. In the background you
hear the theme song from the Sopranos.
There is no problem with this thread
except for the excessive use of red.
Anymore I do so dread
so please quit using the dreaded red.
Larry, save us from the racist and rhyming sock puppets. Please post a new topic.
I’d be interested in your views on the Edwards affair and why the media isn’t pointing out that McSame admittedly cheated on his ailing first wife while they were still married and even before he met Cindy. What’s with this right wing bias in the media?
Right wing bias in the media? Now that would be a first.
Leo, are you bored?
5 million yen for a ticket to the games.
5 thousand yen for a rickshaw rides.
Watching women’s syncronized diving priceless!
Leo you’re stuck in the past man!! Whatever happened with McCain was thirty years ago. How about this as a topic. “Global thermal nuclear war with Russia and throw in Iran and Pakistan to boot”? China and France will be the moderators for this event. India will act as the referee. Great Britten will play golf as long as Tiger Woods is out with a bad wheel.
Leo-Don’t ask,Don’t tell.
Gentleman, we are at a near record number of posts today. Larry gets very excited anytime we hit tripple digits, and here we are.
Nice work men!
According to Leo, we owe it all to the sock puppets. Larry will be very proud of his hard hitting, no holds barred blog!
larry’s next post should address the rumors about obama that just won’t go awy.he’s been seen leaving his mosque with scarlett johannsen & she’s wearing a hajib.
SJ is far, far, far too hot for BO
TTC, I bet they weren’t “smoking” cigars together.
LB, how many of the sock puppets are actually Larry stirring the pot?
I think Larry is zero of the sock puppets.
John McSame’s cheating, if properly publicized by the media in the context of this Edwards affair, will make him a darling of the religious right, just like all of those televangilists (Jim “Air-Conditioned Dog House” Bakker and Jimmy “Just the Tip” Swaggart) and megachurch hypocrites (Mr. “Meth and Gay Sex” out in Colorado).
He and Dubya should get Pooty-Poot to knock off the Georgia antics. McSame and Bush are both failures in that I’ll be they didn’t see that part of Pooty-Poot’s soul when they looked him in the eye and proclaimed undying love for him.
Leo we believe in separation of church and state in this blog. While your visit to past evangelical miscreants and misogynists brings back memories, your comparison to McCain concerning his own adventures is totally unfounded. When the National Enquirer has pictures of McCain then you can speak. Drop the false outrage and return to your seat.
On 08/08/08 at 8:08 China unleashed its first volly for word supremecy.
Ed, separation of church and state may be our belief in this blog, but it’s not the belief of the GOP, especially under Rove’s Southern Strategy and pandering to the religious right. You don’t need pictures in a tabloid when McSame himself has admitted to cheating on his wife. It just gets no press. And it’s still part of his character, whether it happened yesterday or thirty years ago.
It would then follow that Backtrack Obama’s use of coke & weed would still be part of his character.Right Le Ho ? I’m sorry,I mean Leo.
You’re giving Rove the credit for the GOP Southern Strategy ? I always thought that went to Nixon.
YFAP-Good Point.
Can we all promise to make Tuesday, 8/13 a no sock puppet if Larry finally changes the blog topic? And Leo I’m not so sure that Larry is not participating as 1 or more of the sock puppets.
8/12
I promise you that someone will start posting as “Free the Sock Puppets “.
On behalf of all the sock puppets I represent everywhere, I will fight any form of exclusionary practice or collusion by non-sock puppets to impede or deter their blogging.
YFBP, the ranting right wing noise machine certainly seems to think that all those events of decades ago are significant.
