    SC Rep. Joe Wilson just made an ass out of himself at the Petreas/Crocker hearing. He asked “.. when the terrorists finish their work in Iraq, then go on to destroy the people of Israel, will they then come over here to attack us again?”. And Crocker says “yes - that’s why we must fight them over there; so they won’t come over here”. Somebody shoot me.

    Well, I guess to go along with the Department of the Interior our rulers will create a new cabinet department called the Department of the Interior Designers.

    Damn, that Joe Wilson sure is a dick head.

    “.. when the terrorists finish their work in Iraq, then go on to destroy the people of Israel, will they then come over here to attack us again?”

    What a dick. And has anyone actually learned anything new from these hearings ? it’s just the same old shite.

    Say what you like about Obama but he seems to be the only one who’s actually asked a couple of tougher questions and made a few good points, like the fact that their was no al qaida in Iraq pre invasion.

    Obama just sucks less than Clinton or McCain.

  10. Anders posted the following on April 9, 2008 at 12:33 pm.

    Well we know Clinton doesn’t suck, otherwise why would bill have strayed :D

    :( sorry bad joke, i agree, Obama still sucks, just a little less than McCainiac and Hitlery

    Well maybe she does…. But she strikes me as a spitter, not a swallower….

  12. Anders posted the following on April 9, 2008 at 12:50 pm.

    Possibly

    I liked this guy more before he started talking. :lol:

    Actually, I don’t have as big of problem with Hillary as the people that she surrounds herself with - Wolfson, Albright, Holbrook, Davis, etc. With exception of yesterday (when she looked like she got run over by a bus) her performance in the senate and committee meetings is usually very aggressive and impressive. But those dirty rotten thugs she hangs out with are likely the same posse she would enter office with and that is the show-stopper for me.

  15. Anders posted the following on April 9, 2008 at 1:06 pm.

    “Bush isn’t a demon” ?

    :o

  16. Bob Bogus posted the following on April 9, 2008 at 1:11 pm.

    So if Hillary gets elected does she create the Department of the Interior Decorators?

  18. Anders posted the following on April 9, 2008 at 1:13 pm.

    Yes, and she will enlist Madelane Albright to paint the white house with the blood of Iraqi children.

  19. Joe Briggs posted the following on April 9, 2008 at 1:16 pm.

    “blood of Iraqi children”? But, …, weren’t they worth it?

  20. Anders posted the following on April 9, 2008 at 1:25 pm.

    We think so.

  21. Anders posted the following on April 9, 2008 at 1:35 pm.

    I told you guys,she licks her lips when asked about the 500 thousand+ Iraqi children

  22. Bob Bogus posted the following on April 9, 2008 at 1:41 pm.

    Yer right, Anders. What did u use to make the Goyette Space Ghost video and this video?

  23. Anders posted the following on April 9, 2008 at 1:45 pm.

    Imovie which came with my Imac.

  24. Bob Bogus posted the following on April 9, 2008 at 1:49 pm.

    Didn’t know you had a mac. Thought you were running linux or windows.

  25. Anders posted the following on April 9, 2008 at 1:52 pm.

    I always think ‘Imac’ sounds a bit like a sanitary towel brand. Totally off subject there :)

  26. Bob Bogus posted the following on April 9, 2008 at 2:01 pm.

    Do you ever use a PC?

  27. Anders posted the following on April 9, 2008 at 2:02 pm.

    No, not now, i used to.

  28. Bob Bogus posted the following on April 9, 2008 at 2:05 pm.

    So how did Charles like your Space Ghost video?

  29. Anders posted the following on April 9, 2008 at 2:08 pm.

    Im not sure :) i tried to make a longer one but it got tedious trying to synch up his lips with the audio, so i gave up at 6 seconds long .

  30. Bob Bogus posted the following on April 9, 2008 at 2:10 pm.

    Well, I thought it was hilarious. Hope you make so more. Can you put the 6 second one on youtube?

  31. Anders posted the following on April 9, 2008 at 2:12 pm.

    It’s already up

  32. Bob Bogus posted the following on April 9, 2008 at 2:46 pm.

    Hah! That’s great! I love the desk he’s sitting behind, too. Anders, you otta go into comedy video production. Thanks for putting that up.

  33. Anders posted the following on April 9, 2008 at 3:40 pm.

    I might try and do a whole Space Goyette interview one day :) when my patience returns.

  34. Oscar Goldman posted the following on April 10, 2008 at 2:05 am.

    So who would Zorak and Moltar be? And of course, Brak? Inquiring geeks such as I want to know.

  35. Scott posted the following on April 10, 2008 at 5:12 am.

    So Oscar, how’d that work on your kin there?

  36. Scott posted the following on April 10, 2008 at 5:39 am.

    And where’s Mace?

  37. Nergol posted the following on April 10, 2008 at 11:56 am.

    I posted this comment at antiwar.com about this guy too…

    This guy’s leftism does not impress me. First, pardon me, but I’ll jump for joy for the Iraqis the day that Iraq’s biggest problem is that it has too many billionaires. Not everything boils down to class struggle, guy.

    Secondly, the thing that liberals consistently don’t see is the inherent danger in a government that has a lot of money and power. The best comment maybe ever about government was P.J. O’Rourke’s quip that “Giving money and power to government is like giving liquor and car keys to teenage boys” (Boy, remember the days when conservatives used to believe that?). A government without access to great amounts of money or power *can’t* get into mischief like the Iraq War or the burgeoning police state. A government with great access to money and power is one for which it is almost inevitable that they will. A people who are independent is a people who can tell the government to take a hike when it gets too overbearing. A people who are dependent on government checks in order to survive never can.

    …Mace is here—and barring unforeseen circumstances? Always will be. Stress keeps me out of the Bars; so goodnight Irene.
