Now THAT’S a funny headline!!!!!

The offshore ban is her Iraq War. Bush was unpopular for taking a stand for America’s own good. . . this is Pelosi using her turn. . . respect mah authority type.

Of course the Iraq war was necessary for the future and isn’t directly felt by most Americans. But Oil prices are directly a result of Congress’ policies. Why does congress have the right to restrict drilling anyway? They are literally standing in the way of progress, and Pelosi won’t admit it.

I’d suggest that she open her eyes to the facts, but if her plastic surgeon opens them any more, her eyes might pop out if she farts.

hey, anyone notice that Dems and Repubs grieve differently? After the Wellstone ‘event’ and Russert ‘week of rememberance’ (no offense to those two fine gentlemen meant, the Snow ceremony was a welcome retreat to privacy and decorum.

We can’t drill offshore because the DFL won’t allow it. Simple, really.

I predict that she will have to cave, at least partially, on this issue.

The current Dem leadership seems to have a habit of drawing a deep, obvious line in the sand just before they have to cross it.

Not that I’m complaining about how well it demonstrates their “leadership abilities,” of course.

Poor Pelosi. She will run the Democrats into the ground and will wonder why they lost Congress? Talk about a slow learner.

As for our President? While I have a few bones to pick with him, especially on immigration, we are on the verge of winning the Iraq War! His legacy is looking good with a democracy in Iraq and no terror attacks for seven years after 9/11.

The Democrats are trying to tank the economy and blame it on Republicans. It’s back firing! I would enjoy it more if I wasn’t paying 3.85 for a gallon of gas (Tucson is some of the lowest in the country!)

DavidM on July 17, 2008 at 8:20 PM

Why doesn’t the press ever ask the Dems why these leases are not being drilled? In California every single unused lease is tied up in lawsuits. They sue to stop them from drilling, then blame them for not drilling.

Spolitics on July 17, 2008 at 8:24 PM

Remember this moron is talking to her moron voters, not real rational thinking people. It takes a while to figure that out.

But the fly in the ointment, even a moron understands there is a problem when they go to the gas station for a fill-up, or to the supermarket for food.

And they seem to be able to figure out … drill here, drill now, payless.

BTW, the APS today tossed AGW over the transom. Lord Monckton’s summary of the false IPCC record is the start point for the new debate. How shall I say it, the consensus that never was, is never more.

Remember the 2006 elections? The new Democratic Congress promised to (1) end the war in Iraq, (2) bring down gas prices, and (3) be the most ethical Congress evah.

How did they do? (1) We’re still in Iraq (and doing much better now, despite the efforts of “the war is lost” Dims — including “the surge won’t curb the violence and will only cause more violence” Obama [version 2007*]). (2) Gas prices have doubled. (3) This Congress has shown itself to be one of the most corrupt, incompetent, and unethical groups of people ever assembled in one place on this planet.

And Pelosi, the architest of this massive failure of a Congress, is calling Bush a failure? Hypocrisy, thy name is Nancy.
__________

*not to be confused with Obama (version 2008): “I said all along that the surge would work.”

AZCoyote on July 17, 2008 at 8:39 PM

What an obnoxious woman. Does she have any idea how most people see her?

I do not consider Bush a failure. In fact whatever his job approval ratings might be, his personal favorability ratings have been good. Most people do not hate George Bush. Today I was at a client’s home and they had Mike and Mike on ESPN and they were talking about a sports/kid event they went to at the White House. Neither of them had been invited to anything like that before and they had nothing but good things to say. They did not get political about it all and they were very nice about the president.

Most people are not as partisan as people like Pelosi and one the reasons the public supposedly liked Obama was that he was supposed to be above this sort of thing.

Bush is still popular among Republicans and while they might want to get his speech out of the way the first night, so what? He is not the one getting the nomination.

But Congress has not made anyone anywhere happy. And 14% might be high. Last I heard Rasmussen had them at 9%.

Spain is about to pass a law forcing men to do housework. The draft approved by the Spanish parliament’s justice commission says men must “share domestic responsibilities and the care and attention” of children and elderly family members, the London Guardian reported.

The amendment, which has the backing of every Spanish party, will be incorporated later this year into the marriage contract at civil wedding ceremonies in a country where it’s reported 40 percent of men do no housework at all. It will be applied in divorce proceedings: Men who don’t do their share could be give less time with their children….

“The idea of equality within marriage always stumbles over the problem of work in the house and caring for dependent people,” said the law’s chief sponsor, Margarita Uría, of the Basque Nationalist party.

“This will be a good way of reminding people what their duties are,” she said, according to the Guardian. “It is something feminists have been wanting for a long time.”

Repeal the 19th ammendment!

So it’s Bush and the Republicans not doing their part, eh Pelosi? Her well-run House succeeded and the Senate, again in Democrat hands, mucked it up. “Fifty-nine” she repeats ad nauseum.

Apart from pulling an Obama and throwing Reid under the proverbial bus, I’d be curious to know which bills she’s speaking of and what the specific roll calls were to those respective bills. What we know is that Obama has been avoiding votes like the plague for several months as he lives on the campaign trail and away from anything that would commit him to a position. He needs lots of changing room. So, if all these bills had crested at fifty nine, where was this part time Senator’s vote to get to the magical number, the number so urgently needed to bypass the “obstructionist” and puppy-chewing Republicans?

I suspect that Pelosi is as disingenuous as she is incompetent.

Repeal the Nineteenth Amendment

“Were our State a pure democracy . . . there would yet be excluded from their deliberations . . . women, who, to prevent depravation of morals and ambiguity of issue, should not mix promiscuously in the public meetings of men.” Letter from Thomas Jefferson to Samuel Kercheval (Sept. 5, 1816), in 10 Writings of Thomas Jefferson 45-46, n. 1 (P. Ford ed. 1899).

To the woman he said, “I will greatly increase your pains in childbearing; with pain you will give birth to children. Your desire will be for your husband, and he will rule over you”, Genesis 3:16

Let the woman learn in silence with all subjection. But I suffer not a woman to teach, nor to exercise authority over the man, but to be in silence. For Adam was first formed, then Eve. And Adam was not deceived, but the woman being deceived was in the transgression. Notwithstanding she shall be saved in childbearing, if they continue in faith and charity and holiness with sobriety, 1 Timothy 2:11-15

[June 10, 2005: This page and this movement are hereby dedicated to the woman voter who voted to send men to Korea, Vietnam, Kuwait, and Iraq, exercised authority over a man in violation of God's Law above, and then complained that it was men who started wars and that men who had been taught to kill in Vietnam are "violent"]

We the undersigned, hereby demand that the Nineteenth Amendment to the United States Constitution, which reads:

AMENDMENT XIX Passed by Congress June 4, 1919. Ratified August 18, 1920. The right of citizens of the United States to vote shall not be denied or abridged by the United States or by any State on account of sex.

shall be repealed.

September 19, 1998

Copyright 1999 “Repeal the Nineteenth”tm

The Nineteenth Amendment caused government spending to skyrocket, which converted the United States, its Constitution, and its Bill of Rights, into a totalitarian state. Professor John Lott of the Law School University of Chicago proved statistically that it was women’s suffrage, and nothing else, which caused this unbridled government growth. Spending too much for government destroyed private property rights, plunged the US into huge debts and destroyed Personal Savings. Professor Lott demonstrated that the reason the increase in federal expenditures resulting from the First World War didn’t return to its previous historic level was due solely to the passage of the Nineteenth Amendment in 1921. This unbridled government growth is why one third of the men in the world who are behind bars are American men, why an American man is 1,000 times more likely than a Japanese or an Italian or a Greek man to be convicted of rape, why more Americans per capita are incarcerated for just drinking and driving than Japanese are for all crimes combined even though a non-drinking woman driver is five times more likely to have a fatal accident than a drinking man driver, why existing adultery and sodomy laws are not upheld, and why the US is the only industrialized nation with a negative Personal Savings rate.

Until the Nineteenth Amendment is repealed, Christian women are invited to sign the following proxy statement, file it with their local county recorder, and fax the signed statement to 866 721 5995

“It started as an ancient Egyptian custom and there are wall carvings to prove it. It seems to have its origin in snake worship. The Egyptians believed that when the snake shed its skin, and emerged shiny and new again, it was undergoing rebirth. They reasoned that if, by shedding skin, the snake could become apparently immortal, then humans should follow suit. They made the simple equation: snakeskin = foreskin, and the operation began. From there it spread to many Semetic peoples, both Arabs and Jews adopting it and converting it into an act of religious faith. As the centuries passed, it became popular in other regions of the world for moral, medical, or hygenic reasons. ” From the book, Babywatching by Desmond Morris.

Non-religious circumcision began in England inthe late 1800s and it became extremely popular in English-speaking countriesbetween 1920 and 1950. England introduced the practice to the U.S. At the time, it was believed that masturbation caused a host of differentillnesses. Masturbation was considered extremely immoral and many children,both male and female, have been circumcised throught the years because parentsdiscovered them “in the act.” To this day, who doesn’t remember thethreat associated with masturbation that “you’ll go blind?”

It was known even in the late 1800s that the removalof the foreskin (the only moveable part of the penis) would reduce sexualsensitivity and restrict movement of the penile shaft.

A noted Jewish sage, Rabbi Moses Maimonides inhis Guide to the Perplexed, expressed the following:

“…people believe that circumcision is to removea defect in man’s formation… How can products of nature be deficient soas to require external completion, especially as the use of the foreskinto that organ is evident. This commandment has not been enjoined as a complementto a deficient physical creation, but as a means for perfecting man’s moralshortcomings. …Circumcision simply counteracts excessive lust; for thereis no doubt that circumcision weakens the power ofsexual excitement,and sometimes lessens the natural enjoyment…”

It was believed that masturbation caused blindness,mental illness, alcoholism, epilepsy and a host of other ills. It thereforemade sense to some physicians that genital surgery would stop masturbationand prevent the onset of these illnesses.

“A remedy [for masturbation] which is almost alwayssuccessful in small boys is circumcision…” The operation should be performedby a surgeon without administering an anesthetic, as the pain attending theoperation will have a salutary effect upon the mind, especially if it beconnected with the idea of punishment…” John Harvey Kellog, M.D., Treatmentfor Self-Abuse and Its Effects, Plain Facts for Old and Young, Burlington,Iowa; F. Segner & Co., 1888.

When it was finally realized that masturbationdid not cause illnesses, the foreskin became the blame for penile and cervicalcancers, urinary tract infections andsexuallytransmitted diseases.

Allof the medical reasons for circumcision have been eliminated by experts.Circumcised men are not immune to suffering from these diseases. The surgeryoffers no warranty.
