Midterm WHAM, COCK IN THE ASS!!!
November 9th 2006, 12:33 CET by Jibble Will there be even more political scandals? Will the Democrats take advantage of the wind in their sails? Will we finally see an investigation on Iraq, Diebold, Delay, Abramoff, Hastert, 9/11, or detainee torture? Yes, no, and no. Of course, it's always fun to talk about it. What's up for grabs in your local election? Do you support any candidate in particular? Why or why not? Been a while since we had an actual factual political topic around here, and it's time to get the discussion out of the damned Kerry Wins! thread. |

We should pump all the oil out of Iraq into a giant space balloon, and then leave them to their civil war and pseudo-ethnic cleansing. The hose from the space balloon can be moved around the world (or there could be multiple hoses) delivering the oil where it's needed, and it would be gravity fed. It takes a community to abandon a child.
|

I'm sure Iraq will sort itself out fine, it's just a matter of getting everyone on the same page. And killing everyone else. Today Officer Coon, Officer Nigger-hater, and Officer Keep-darky-down were acquitted of all racist charges.

Instant pull out is impractical. A staged withdrawal is best. Funk. |

What's all this 'pulling out' talk? Onward to victory I say! Item Number Fuck on my agenda? Swoop home like a fuck-falcon and fuck my old lady like I love her.

I came. The Japanese may make all the cars, the Chinese all the clothes and the French all the, um, Frenchmen. But damn if we don't lead the world in catchphrases.

Monty I've been taking great pleasure in reading the comments at various batshit insane right-wing sites like Captain's Quarters, Little Green Footballs and National Review Online. I don't know if that Little Green Footballs site is funny so much as fascinating, like observing some kind of strange social experiment. Well some bits are funny, like I saw a comment saying that some Democrat list of things to investigate was "the beginning of the end... like the French Revolution" and that "instead of executioners and guillotines we'll have lawyers and paperwork". It amused me that they'd choose a parallel where people overthrew a government comprised of out-of-touch elite and is also something that's traditionally bonded the US and France. But then, from all the other comments it looks like they really hate the French, and not in a good way either. MP3 Of The Week: The Undertones - Soul Seven.mp3 (?)

My favourite commenter is this guy called Svolich, who hasn't quite been singing the Happy Happy Joy Joy song. The dems have made three things clear - Talk talk with Iran Talk talk with North Korea Withdraw from Iraq. With those in place, we don't have to worry about the election in 2008. Washington won't be there in 2008, along with most of our port cities. Rightwingers are so optimistic at the moment! |
|
well, that really ain't all that different from the gloom and doom that happened on this board 2 years ago. "Testiculos habet et bene pendentes" — "He has testicles, and they dangle nicely."
|
|
I'm still pretty disappointed in the American public, as a whole. The number of people who voted for Republicans in spite of everything is depressing. It takes a community to abandon a child.
|
|
Well, no it's not, but would you say that with the wiretapping, and the torture, and all the other things that have actualy happened since then, it wasn't justified? It isn't a Fallout game unless I use my pickpocketing skill to place a ticking dynamite bomb into the pockets of an 8 year old boy.

I'm still pretty disappointed in the American public, as a whole. The number of people who voted for Republicans in spite of everything is depressing. That's what I was saying before ... how was this even close? How was this even a question or a race? People are retarded. |

I'm still pretty disappointed in the American public, as a whole. The number of people who voted for Republicans in spite of everything is depressing. That's the whole party loyalty thing, which I hate. I never understood being loyal to a party because they sound like they represent you. On the other side of that though, this was a serious of local elections, and not all those repubs that were re-upped were evil baby killing bastards. Then you see someone like Chaffee, who really was R in name only, and had of all things a 60 percent approval rating, get tossed because of that R. I mean, I'm sure you have people in your country that just vote the same over and over again. Anything people can do to give up thinking, they will. Well, no it's not, but would you say that with the wiretapping, and the torture, and all the other things that have actualy happened since then, it wasn't justified? Sure it is. The other side always bitches and whines and goes on about the worst case scenario. Just because this time it actually was worse than that doesn't mean it's different, it just means this time it was correct. And if taxes go up even a penny, you'll have repubs going, "See! See!" Doesn't change that the bitching will happen. "Testiculos habet et bene pendentes" — "He has testicles, and they dangle nicely."

To be fair, while the Republicans deserve to be voted out, the Democrats kind of lurked their way through the campaign. It will be interesting to see what their policies will actually be. |
|
That's exactly the campaign the Conservatives ran here in Canada, and it worked for them too. When you're running against a party that's riddled with scandal and corruption, you talk about yourself as little as possible and them as much as possible. It takes a community to abandon a child.
|
|
I'm also seeing increasingly more of this sort of thing in the rightwing comments: Starting to look like the only guaranteed way that the country would swing sufficiently right again is if we're attacked ala 9/11. These fuckos are actually barracking for another attack because it would suit their domestic political agenda. Amazing. |

To be fair, while the Republicans deserve to be voted out, the Democrats kind of lurked their way through the campaign. It will be interesting to see what their policies will actually be. It only looks like lurking when the MSM won't bother to cover you at all because they have a love affair with the party in power. Pelosi had a 100 hour agenda a month ago, but only now does it make front page. Though I do agree with you on that second part. I want to see what they actually do. That's what I was saying before ... how was this even close? How was this even a question or a race? People are retarded. Look at the ratings for Fox News. "Well, my dad's a republican and Bill O'Reilly said and..." As for the war opinion, I'll just be happy to have people in control that understand the clusterfuck that it is. After that, I'm against an immediate withdrawl. Work with others in the region to try and reach stability, but stop wasting soldiers on policing a civil war. Slow and steady withdrawl, let the Iraqis become responsible. Lady, people aren't chocolates. But you know what they are, mostly? Bastards. Bastard-coated bastards with bastard filling.

I don't think there is a way to withdraw from Iraq gracefully. There are too many militarised forces holed up there who are armed to the teeth, ready to Vietnam the place up as soon as the occupiers leave. It was a terrible decision to invade in the first place, and nothing good can come of it. Something that isn't getting any coverage is the role of Halliburton and other American contractors. If the troops withdraw and things go to shit, won't Bush's cronies lose a hell of a lot of money in reconstruction contracts? |
|
Monty, Bechtel is already pulling out, stating the environment has simply deteriorated too much to continue working. I have to assume that the big contractors will take whatever profits they made already and call it a day. |

Nutty, thanks for the Jewel Quest motivation. I passed you and the other guy on my friends list who was even higher than you, putting me back at #1 where I belong. I passed 1.1 million and looped back to the beginning again. Now I'm at 1-2 on the fourth difficulty level with 6 lives. At this level you have to match a square twice before it turns gold.

You didn't beat the game yet? I watched Aliens, and I didn't even get a lousy t-shirt.
|

It's got five difficulty settings, each of which (except the first, obviously) can only be unlocked by beating all the levels on the previous setting. So I've gone through all the levels three times now, still on my very first game. "About me, around me,

Hugin's right, and there's some good info on the situation here. You'll notice that they say this: The company has received US$2.3 billion of Iraqi reconstruction funds and US taxpayer money, but is leaving without completing most of the tasks it set out to do. ...but somehow there's no mention of how or if that money might be recovered. It's become clear that they spent more on security to keep their people alive than they did on actual reconstruction. Honestly, those guys aren't losing any money if we pull out. The government has already given them billions of dollars that they've pissed away and likely stuffed into mattresses (or Cayman Island accounts) somewhere. Also, don't forget about this. There were no banks or wire transfers to pay them, no bean counters to keep track of the money. Just vaults and footlockers stuffed with billions of dollars in cash. "Fresh, new, crisp, unspent, just-printed $100 bills. It was the Wild West," recalls Frank Willis, who was the No. 2 man at the Coalition Provisional Authority’s Ministry of Transportation. The money was a mixture of Iraqi oil revenues, war booty and U.S. government funds earmarked for the coalition authority. Whenever cash was needed, someone went down to the vault with a wheelbarrow or gunny sacks. By the time the dust settles, these war profiteering assholes will have made off with billions of dollars because no one sent a fucking accountant to make sure they didn't do shit like load cash into wheelbarrows and hand it off to companies as payment. Lady, people aren't chocolates. But you know what they are, mostly? Bastards. Bastard-coated bastards with bastard filling.

Sounds like a great idea! Things are going so great there the troops aren't needed. They should have left the moment they got Saddam. Yes, I'm serious. "So they should have walzed in, bombed the crap out of various things, get Saddam and then just pick up and leave?" Yes, I'm saying that is EXACTLY what should have been done. I'm getting real tired of the "everybody else is helpless!" attitude that seems to be so prevalent in western culture foreign policy. What Iraq was was a finger with a painfull splinter (Saddam) in it limiting the finger's freedom. The invasion was a knife cutting out the splinter enlarging the wound in the process. At that point you withdraw the knife and try to apply a bandaid. Which is what they did only they left part of the blade behind in the wound and now are trying to apply the bandaid on top of that. It's not going to work, period. Proof of this is present in abundance. Immediate withdrawal would probably have sparked into a civil war probably but without any foreign armies antagonizing the populace that war would have been over and order restored by now. The only fixes that last are the ones that people come up with themselves. A bandaid isn't a permanent fix. Cellular regeneration is. Money is for poor people.

Yeah, see. That's what I'm talking about. Money is for poor people.

that was an awesome analogy! lol@u x 2. |

There's reportedly a small tribe in south-africa who's VHS is still undergoing repairs, but otherwise yeah, think so. The Emperor: What?... Oh, F*$K!... That wasn't even fully paid for yet!... Who's THEY?... What the hell's an Aluminum Falcon?

Another blog trend I'm seeing: apparently Bush isn't right-wing enough for the wingnuts. People are talking about "the Bush/Chafee wing of the party" as being the problem. Also, a great groundswell of support for Newt Gingrich. |

Manager at EA says Gears lack innovation. In other news, Pot claims Kettle is too black. it's been raining all night, your grass is still wet

Spider Man 3 looks like it's going to be exactly the same as 1 and 2. Not shocking I guess, the first one made buckets of money so they made the second one exactly the same, it also made buckets of money so it's not like they're going to poke about inside the money machine and change anything. Oh, and it's going to suck, but then we knew that already. MP3 Of The Week: The Undertones - Soul Seven.mp3 (?)

2 was the second best comic book movie ever made...I can't really ask for a lot more than that. I love me some me. | "Aren't I on record as loving trannies?" - McBain
|
|
What would you have them change? I'm honestly curious because I've always found the Spider Man movies to be excellent. |
|
And that trailer looks great. Can't wait. I love me some me. | "Aren't I on record as loving trannies?" - McBain
|
|
Dum hated the first two films. MOTS won't work for him. Me, I loved them. And MOTS will make me very happy. Funk. |
|
I misliked the first, but found the 2nd rather enjoyable. Better villain, cooler sequences. I haven't seen or heard.. anything about Spider 3, it kinda wrecks the movie to see the trailer when the movie is all about the effects and visual schenanigans. The Emperor: What?... Oh, F*$K!... That wasn't even fully paid for yet!... Who's THEY?... What the hell's an Aluminum Falcon?

Wrecks the movie for me, that is. The Emperor: What?... Oh, F*$K!... That wasn't even fully paid for yet!... Who's THEY?... What the hell's an Aluminum Falcon?

Spiderman 2 was one of the worst movies I've ever seen. "About me, around me,

|
I saw the trailer, I voted meh. Haven't seen the first two either, never liked Spidey. Make a Justice League movie instead, fuckos! Or at least a movie about The Flash. |
|
I liked the first, I disliked the second despite it having a better villain, and the third looks like it has too many characters. |

Spiderman 2 was one of the worst movies I've ever seen. You need to see more movies. I've easily seen 100 films worse. The Guyver comes to mind very quickly. Funk |

Haha! I've seen that. Awesome. Lots of jumping, I seem to remember, with wobbly elbow spikes. |
