This wasn’t stupid because no one got hurt… but it’s blowing about 35 at my place today and the “Pioneers” decided to drive their annual caravan of covered wagons with 50 outriders on mules and horses for company through my place. Was quite the show and when they got to the part of my driveway that is 14′ wide and has a 50′ drop on one side I really didn’t want to watch.
Newfie girl stood at rail and answered every time a horse bugled. Sigh. Anyways, fun stuff.
Any article that had anything in it that a GOP member, GOP Congressman or Fox news quote in it or the word Benghazi!
It isn’t so much Ayatollah Roy Moore claiming that the First Amendment doesn’t really mean what it says. That’s plenty stupid of course, but the double extra stupid part is where he tries to cite James Madison, of all people, in support of his position.
Of course, like poor white people voting Republican, wingnuts rewriting history is nothing new. But it still blows my mind sometimes how shallow and transparent their efforts are.
Benghazi!
[Geithner] cheerfully relayed a story that also appears in his book about the time he sought advice from Bill Clinton on how to pursue a more populist strategy: “You could take Lloyd Blankfein into a dark alley,” Clinton said, “and slit his throat, and it would satisfy them for about two days. Then the blood lust would rise again.”
Torch cutting rebar in 35 mph winds after completion of the multimillion dollar bridge falsework. Whoosh — big fire. Serious setback for the workers and suppliers that were scheduled to begin the concrete pour within days or weeks. (The owner on this project is less than clear and the project general engineering contractor is not being reported by news organizations. The latter possibly because the owner(s) went with an innovative contracting structure where the owner(s) acts as the general. The insurance claims process and settlement on this one will employ a lot of attorney.)
I live in Philly, where do I start?
Glenn Greenwald thinks helping the Nigerian government fight Boko Haram and retrieve the kidnapped girls is the same as Iraq time eleventy.
Reaper Gov Mary Falin has decided to suspend human trials of her death penalty protocol.
Ted Cruz wins again!
Rice speaking at Rutgers
60+% of poll responders thinking that is a good thing
More Benghazi inquiries
More IRS inquires
Utter failure of the press to point out that, yes, the hacks in Congress did that already.
Asking Clinton what her guilty pleasures are and calling it news
CNN so far made up hysteria about so far unseen, unsubstantiated waiting lists causing yet to be verified deaths that weren’t going to happen anyway.
This appeared at the Great Orange Satan. For those who don’t follow that group of simpering ninnies, user pajoly is one of the most vicious purveyors of dishonest ideological smears in the whole clown show:
Wow, pretty BS ad hominem attack (20+ / 0-)
The story made national and international news. But you are apparently the arbiter of what’s important. But if you felt thus, why’d you click the diary and start a pie war?
Seems to me you are entirely disingenuous because you clearly care A LOT about this; your aggressive and belligerent participation makes a mockery of the very words you write.
I distrust those people who know so well what God wants them to do, because I notice it always coincides with their own desires. – Susan B. Anthony Everything good a man can be, a dog already is. – pajoly
