Thanks, I will give a listen when I get up, I just got home from the graveyard shift and I'm checking out the over night e-mail.

I wish you a good day, Kenny - you're doing a great job around here my friend ; )

Thank you! I love your sensibility and grounded spirit, Sometimes I think I was born in the wrong century or I get my past lives mixed up. I'm a revolutionary at the very core and have always been a warrior and like Lt. Dan (Forrest Gump) I feel cheated out of my destiny!

Thanks for your consciousness, Kenny .... besides the (necessary) warrior, I do feel you're a kindred spirit in peace, as well - I've just gotten to the place where I feel I need to focus on what can *actually be done to make the world better (focusing on truth, always) and ....where I can do nothing, then, let peace (and good music & good folks) fill up my idle hours - the world feels like a microwave oven set on 'high', very kinetic and (imo) we need to try to offset that to the best of our abilities ; )
I enjoy sharing music with you periodically, my friend !

Well thank you, maybe soon I'll be heading to Canada! :), Probably not, it's in my blood to fight!

Well, according to recent news reports since Gadaffi's death, it looks as if no one, including the Scottish courts knows who ordered the bombing.

Apparently his people didn't think he was world class leadership material.

It wasn't a NATO uprising it was a Libyan uprising it was the libyan people on the streets demanding his head.

The people on the Lockerbie flight Pan Am 103 and their families might want to dispute your claim that he wasn't a terrorist.

"[Jalil] told Expressen Khadafy [sic] gave the order to Abdel Baset al-Megrahi, the only man convicted in the bombing of Pan Am Flight 103 over Lockerbie.

Also, they could have "paraded bin Laden around" if that was what they wanted. Instead, they actually gave him some type of dignity and threw his ass in the drink.

Sure, that's why all of their flags are of a traditional nationalist variety and no indication that they are supporting the Libyan transitional government.

That's called hearsay by the way ACSUS.

Do you know that denial is NOT just a river in AFRICA?

Why don't you go look at some before and after photos of Tripoli, Sirte and Benghazi and tell me who the terrorists were who destroyed those cities and then ask yourself who is in denial.

I'm pretty sure I saw Qadafy's own people shelling those cities when he was trying to KILL HIS OWN PEOPLE.

Let's just end this conversation, I can see you have a closed mind and if I dragged a body of a child Qadafy murdered HIMSELF in front of you, you'd refuse to be convinced.

People like you make me tired and angry and I would just as soon not deal with you right now. You don't want anything but to ARGUE. If I agreed with you I have no doubt you would switch your argument 100% the opposite way in order to keep the conversation going.

Just another lonely old man who uses this site as his form of social contact.

Please, go out and GET A LIFE. Get drunk, do whatever you lonely old hermits did BEFORE the internet allowed you to stay home in anonymity and spew idotic rhetoric so people would respond to you and you could feel alive.

NUFF SAID?

CC!!!! Good to see ya, we must not let it be so long between intercourse. I cannot imagine what compels people to follow such creatures around, what is worst to let them control and manipulate them like that is shameful, just shameful.

Those *ARTISANS* of chaos, duplicity, mediocrity prey on the weak and inject them with venom turning *sparkly* places into rotten sewers. Thank whatever force guides good people into making a stance and sending those evil doers tumbling down.

I hope you don't mind terribly but I must disagree with you on the tyrants fate. It was good that he was eradicated because if he was alive there's always a chance that he may orchestrate chaos on the good people from wherever he was banished to. He would use the *FEW* sick, morally corrupt, self-loathing, insane fools to do his dirty work. Those Despots will always try to return time after time bringing the same trite inadequacies as before. I would absolutely turn purple if I was so blind as to become enamored with a pseudo leader.

You said "I think he even had a familiar 'mission statement' that told of : "hating happy, shiny people", can you imagine ? " got a link for that? Sounds like he lifted that from a rascal perhaps a handsome Devil? You know tyrannical rulers always steal from others slap a coat of paint to their doctrines and claim superior tactic. Funny how they go around quoting Sun Tzu or Machiavelli. They are Thin cheap veneer nothing more. Tyrants must be taken down as soon as they pop-up, they don't deserve to have their voice heard ever.

I love that you remember all my monikers, you got one wrong but hey you're not *PERFECT*. I cannot comprehend why the many yous get taken down at the other place, dastardly I tell you. I'm glad here we can have free intercourse and exchange ideas.

I think it's safe to ask that you will join me in raising a toast to the people of

Egypt
Tunisia
Libya

And anywhere else that people have taken control from the tyrants that have oppressed them.

Sláinte*

Faved !! Let's TOAST to *that, with *that expensive bottle of red wine ? :D

That's spirit lassie BOOOO! to HPee that felt good to say I think I'll say it again BOOOO! to HPee!!!!!!

LOL! Did you start to celebrate without the rest of us? I'm toasting the good people who fight the tyrants ;-) *Bushy, yuck, arrrch, puke!

You're a *NAUUUGHTY* one. You fire cracker, I know that you know I meant:

in·ter·course/ˈintərˌkôrs/
Noun:
Communication or dealings between individuals or groups: "everyday social intercourse".

For a minute I thought you may come at me all rabid like " You hole, jack, thing explain yourself! I demand to know what every syllable written---you own weapons of mass detraction, beast!" I know silly jack! but without the exaggeration I pretty much have had, in essence, people come at me that way; that's because they lack your intellect.

But seriously, tyrants are being removed around the world, lets hope that in the process they don't trade one tyrant for another. I hope that the people in those countries find democracy in a way that respects their own traditions and social norms while embracing the same for their neighbors.

Bravo! you're right being banned from HP is an honor. I can't understand why thy don't ban me? They just love me too much, someone needs to let them know that becoming obsessed with a guy ( who doesn't want them) is fruitless.

Forget the wine, when tyrants fall we drink bubbly. For you my favorite Dom Perignon Cuvee 1998.

I do not watch FOX News, ever. I have done a little research and I came to the conclusion the Qaddafi was culpable, at least from a tertiary standpoint and perhaps as a principal.

NOTHING HAPPENED in Libya without his knowledge and at the very least his tacit approval. Why people are defending him now is beyond my ability to discern.

I don't agree with the way he died, but I'm glad he's gone. Perhaps, like in the former U.S.S.R., now that a new regime has taken over we will get to look at documentation which definitively proves his guilt or innocence. Let's hope.

If you recall, they DID capture him alive. Some young kid, with Qaddafi's own GOLDEN GUN, seems to have gotten carried away and shot him in the head. On purpose? We'll never know. Does it matter?

If you remember, the entire Saddam Hussein episode was a mess, with people killing people because they wanted him released and other people killing people because they didn't want him released. Then his execution day, a real joke, his HEAD CAME OFF. Maybe we are better off with him dead (him too), hanging is a TERRIBLE way to die. A bullet in the head is far more desirable.

Heck, for all we know the kid with the GOLDEN GUN was one of our guys.

There is still the Lockerbie bomber, Abdelbaset Mohmed Ali al-Megrahi, out there somewhere. Ostensibly dying of cancer. He hasn't been reacquired yet has he.? He must be scared to death about being brought to the U.S. for ANOTHER trial, or just being shot outright.

Our C.I.A. operatives on the ground and our Special Forces leading their army should be able to get a look at any documentation Qaddafi had related to Lockerbie and perhaps other terrorist activities. It's what we did when the Soviet Union fell. Apparently, we got information on every terrorist organization in the world from them.

Maybe we'll get lucky again.

Will they share that information with the average U.S. citizen? Who knows? Right now they wouldn't even admit we have people there on the ground.

Yes, and as we all know the U.S. would NEVER break an agreement.

Getting a little snarky aren't we? It's just a picture. If I remember correctly the Vincinnes shot down a civilian airliner from Iran, way to change the subject.

Very good point.
There is absolutely nothing funny about abusing or torturing helpless animals. It's horrible to think anyone could intentionally inflict any harm on them. Completely unacceptable!

It has been my experience that the "moderates" are such because it absolves them of making a decision. Easy to flow with the tide when you have no rudder. The true wack jobs are on the left.

Obama's Supreme Court nominations have been very good, especially with respect to the ones of the other party. Unless there comes a third choice that will be reason enough for me.

Which "poster" are you talking about in No.1?

Damn mosquitos are très ennuyeux!

You didn't answer the question, and this is not a story about insects.

If you're going to accuse member(s) of "stupid shit", please clarify who that would be.

Dear TD,

I do not refer to you in my statement. We may have drifted apart as friends but I know your DEMOCRATIC/PROGRESSIVE voice is not to be trifled with, Oh, no! on the contrary your POWERFUL advocacy should be celebrated.

I will defend myself from false remarks from anyone friend or foe but one thing I admire about you is your LAZER like resolve when dealing in topics affecting women---It is there were you shine.

I have no right to ask but I urge you to continue to speak-up and be an advocate for women your experiences bring a great wealth here or anywhere else and can teach so much. I wait for it breathless.

Since it was me who veered off-topic in an attempt to put you at ease that I wasn't talking about you, I will ignore the long ad hominem attack. As for my original statement, which is clearly self-explanatory as any intelligent person can see, there is [ SIC] NO further reason to explain.

If you have any * other* questions about this topic let me know, I may answer if I so choose.

Best of all,

jack.

That wasn't an ad hominem attack, at all. It was pure truth, and I was perfectly "at ease" when I wrote it. (I don't know why you assumed I wasn't "at ease".)

Your original statement is NOT self-explanatory, at all. It's very vague. Your jab about "any intelligent person" was low-blow (unnecessary).

But, you're right (again), there IS further reason to explain it; so go ahead. Explain who you were referring to. After all, if you're going to put it "out there" for the whole world to see, SAY IT.

You find me in a courteous/giving mood so I will answer your *demand*.

When I made the statement it was in the broad sense, specifically I meant the few posters here who engage in falsehoods and hysterical rants i.e 'Obama has sold America to the bankers' etc, etc,etc. On Hp I would refer to them as trollzies but having not participated in this forum for too long I don't feel comfortable making that claim.

I hardly think Kenny ( an amazing blogger) who I was addressing directly, would NOT liken that comment to some obscure tiff between me and former HPers.

Added NOT @ 12 midnight. time to get new contacts for me.

Not sure how that was a *demand* when your original comment (BEFORE you edited it) said "there is further reason to explain", I merely took you up on your offer to explain it.

But, I do agree with you that Kenny is a great blogger. His easy-going personality and ability to get along with many different people is refreshing; I never concern myself about what "mood" he's in, and he doesn't have a trashy tabloid blog.

I also didn't realize you think that answering this page is only directed at him, because I thought this story was for everyone from him. So, my sincere apology to kenny if I misunderstood that all along.

Lastly, I don't know why you had to mention "obscure tiffs at HP"; I wasn't even thinking of HP; I wouldn't blame Current members for being tired of hearing about HP by now. But, the fact that you have to label certain people "trollzies" is unfortunate. Just because someone may have a very different opinion than your own does *not* automatically make them any kind of a "trollzie".

No thanks. I would never *ever* insult President Obama (or anyone at the White House) by even mentioning that your site exists.
I don't care about your articles on Current.
It's not ALL about you, jack.
And, you have no idea what I want -- not a fucking clue.

There seems to be a good number of Canadians.

Good thing that the ratio of good to bad Canadians favors the good.

gosh i have a devoted fan. dont give me all the credit though, here's someone else worth quoting... Reid as saying privately that "Obama, as a black candidate, could be successful thanks, in part, to his "light-skinned" appearance and speaking patterns "with no Negro dialect, unless he wanted to have one."

I don't see what your reply has to do with you completely ignoring polls that you see as "invalid" because of your bigoted views of "lefty".
Oh...wait. I see. You're changing the argument in attempts to direct attention elsewhere.
I suppose if you can't win a disagreement, you could always put focus elsewhere and hope no one notices...right?

Amazingly, I think this article was asking for examples of Funny Republicans, who automatically attack those on the left, simply because they're on the left (blind to the fact that we're all in the same boat.)
Good job on being a shinning example.

Well done!

Pathetic!

my bad! i thought it was an article about racist leadership within the same party who attack each other and their president. if anyone on current who is aware of sharing the same sinking ship it would be me, thus my support for another candidate

Pathetic.

thank you, thank you very much

thank you, thank you very much

Excellent!

Now that was perfect, I wonder why the righty's aren't posting on this thread?

Full moon? Let's eat!

A few toughnecks are still getatable who pretend that aboriginally he
was of respectable stemming (he was an outlex between the lines
of Ragonar Blaubarb and Horrild Hairwire and an inlaw to Capt.
the Hon. and Rev. Mr Bbyrdwood de Trop Blogg was among
his most distant connections) but every honest to goodness man
in the land of the space of today knows that his back life will
not stand being written about in black and white. Putting truth
and untruth together a shot may be made at what this hybrid
actually was like to look at.

Finnegans Wake

That was fucking awesome, voting way up! :)

Zampano, you shouldn't eat while reading some of the crazy sh*t written here or at least have someone nearby who is proficient in the Heimlich Maneuver.

Did you get up on the wrong side of bed today? :)

Do you do stand-up as well?

I'm with you on Ron Paul. You are correct with the Obama "war corporations" connection. Don't forget the bankers and "Wall Street" that the OWS protesters are railing against. Obama has been a great supporter of them and also a great beneficiary.
Oh, regarding Lincoln, he was a Republican, formerly the Whig Party of Henry Clay. One of the great platforms of the Whigs was the establishment of a central bank much like the Fed. Things haven't really changed very much in the past many years have they.
Perhaps there should be a thread, something like "Some of the most pitiful, sheeple are left wingers or those that say they are in the middle".

Wow....a decent post, and then you had to just poop on left wingers at the end.
Must be some personal vendetta with you...or you've been brain washed by Fox News.

As a liberal I believe in these things:
-Efficient mid-sized government; neither too big, nor small, yet effective.
-Limited military spending. ~I've heard many republicans say that Government can't create jobs...how then do you explain the size of our military budget, and those it's employed?
-People before profits. The advancement of our country should be reaped by every working hand, not just as small few at the top. The country is made up of, and belongs to the many.
-Separation of Government and Corporations. Corporations should all be on a level playing field to allow small businesses to have a chance. Those at the top have gamed the system to offset things into their favor. This is anti-capitalistic, as it places a bottle-neck on the economy.
-Common-sense in government. A bill that allows a person to carry guns on school campuses or bars should not be ahead of a bill that creates jobs, or helps first-responders do their job more efficiently.
-Transparency in Government. -I want to know what they're doing, why they're doing it, and if the voted officials do something which the majority disagree with, they should be penalized. Just as you get penalized for failing at your day job.

As a liberal, I want equality for everyone. As a free-market capitalist, I know that the only way for people to compete with corporations, is to have higher taxes and regulations to ensure smaller businesses have the chance to compete with the heavy weights.

At the end of the day, I want to work my 40 hours a week, not have to worry about having to chose between food or gas, and have enough money to die on.
At present, with your so called "lazy pot-smoking leftists", who have a family of 5, and 2 parents with an average of 3-4 jobs between them to have enough to die on...I feel like you insult people like that. The fact of the matter is, we're all in the same boat.

But continue to blame lefties for your problems. I mean, it's not like we're trying to give the rich more money, telling people that it will create more jobs, and after ten years, the economy gets worse based on these beliefs and tax policies. ....oh wait....That's what the Republicans are doing...right.

I find that sliding slowly and quietly off the end of the bed will sometimes allow me to sneak up on the day and sail through without it hardly even noticing I'm there. It can be a useful tactic in times like these.

I think before its over, one of or all of them will get into a real wrestling match! The only thing missing will be that guy that says....lets get ready to rumble!

I bet they fight like girls. No offense girls.

I'm guessing a tag team substitute replacement wrestler so they don't get hurt themselves like the chicken hawks they are!

Whoever punched the other would instantly become the hero of the party and seal the nomination. Women would swoon and pandemonium would ensue as panties and boxer shorts are tossed up onto the stage while men, hootin and hollerin, fire their six shooters in the air. Anderson Cooper throws his list of questions on the floor, shakes his head, and makes for the exit. It's a new day.

That was funny.

Hey some girls use bricks.... Just kidding.

Good one. Just reading was funny. lol

Thanks.

None taken. lol!

I'll bet they do Lisayou!

Good. I wouldn't want to get hit with a brick!

I cannot speak for the others, OlBlue.
But, you'll never have to worry about that with me. ;-)
I'm not a violent person and I never condone violence.

Yes indeed!

That was a good one, perfect!
