I need a vacation.
But what about when you have two first names that are one name and no middle name? ;-)
This HAS to be a joke. Nobody can be that stupid. Please, please tell me that nobody can be that stupid! Lie to me if you have to!!
What am I saying? HLL reports that parents must take their children to McDonalds because they have toys there, so of course they're fat.
You all can't hear me, but I'm screaming!!!
I have no explaination for the nutzo judges JL has mentioned. Not all judges are elected, so the campaign contribution thing doesn't always wash. They probably just get that goofy from staying up late memorizing all those code books.
Oh yeah? You just had to challenge me didn't you? Well, I went out and found someone stupider:
Lynn Woolsey, Dim-Cal, U.S. House of RepsLOL! This Dim-bulb thinks the UNITED NATIONS freed the women of Afghanistan!She wants the United States to sign something she refers to as CEDAW--the United Nations' Convention on the Elimination of All Forms of Discrimination Against Women. So she sent out a "dear colleague" letter that reads, in part: "Afghanistan, Saudi Arabia, United States, Iran. Which one of these is different from the others??? If you guessed the United States--you're wrong. If you guessed Saudi Arabia, you're right." The Saudis, you see, have signed the treaty. The United States has not.
Some people might conclude that this example proves the worthlessness of U.N.-sponsored paper proclamations. Noooo, not Mz. Lynn Woolsey.
"Despite the United States' claim to be a leader of human rights, we are the only industrialized country that has not ratified CEDAW," she writes. "It's time to abandon this unfavorable distinction." And the way to do that, apparently, is not to continue safeguarding the rights of women as America does, but to sign an anti-discrimination agreement that boasts signatories such as Saudi Arabia, Iraq, and Nigeria.
... Perhaps Woolsey's support for CEDAW stems from a strong belief in the power of U.N. resolutions. Again, from the letter: "CEDAW establishes a universal definition of discrimination against women, and provides international standards to discourage sex-based discrimination. These standards encourage equality in education, health care, employment and all other arenas of public life. Over the past 20 years, CEDAW has become an important tool for nations to end human rights abuses of women and girls--such as those committed by the Taliban in Afghanistan."
So there....much stupider.
My fingers are tingling again... I think I'm gonna pass........ THHUD!!..........
What happened? I woke up on the floor. ;-)
Calgon, take me away!!
I do like Dim-Bulbs. :-)
They can't do that, can they? Even if, here's my story (because I go for the large Coke)... Uh, the kid's at home and the Coke is for me because I don't allow her to have sodas, she drinks apple juice. Ha!
In a bizarre twist to an already tangled election-year saga, a lawyer said Wednesday that his unnamed client recorded a Sept. 3 meeting of U.S. Rep. Greg Ganske's financial backers and turned it over to Sen. Tom Harkin's campaign out of disgust.
"I was incensed by Congressman Ganske's attitude," the statement said, quoting the client of Des Moines lawyer Brent Rosenberg. rest of the story
He was INCENSED by Ganske's attitude. Well, that makes it ok then!
As if my head didn't hurt enough already!
Did y'all see Big Gay Al tonight???? OMG, they had a clip on Fox. He was at some function where the reporter caught up with him in a crowd. He took off on Bush for "what's going on nationally, with the attack on civil liberties, with American citizens in some cases just disappearing without right to counsel, without access to a lawyer, I think that is disgraceful,". All the while he was "glistening" in the bright lights of the camera....we're talking RIVERS of flop sweat running down his face! Scary to think how close we came.
Oh no! I just went to the San Francisco paper trying to find a pic of Al and saw the headline about the big fire in the Santa Cruz mountains. My very best friend from my days in California lives right there on Summit Road...right where they say the fire is. Everyone please say a prayer for my friends Bob and Debbie!

GOP suspects former Harkin aide of taping meeting Copyright 2002, Des Moines Register and Tribune Co.
Posted at 15:49 on 09/26/2002
Iowa Republican officials said today they believe the man who taped a private meeting of U.S. Rep. Greg Ganske was a former aide to Sen. Tom Harkin more than 20 years ago who early this year wrote a letter critical of Ganske to The Des Moines Register.
GOP State Chairman Chuck Larson stopped short of naming the individual, who was one of the invited guests at the Ganske fund-raiser/strategy session Sept. 3.
Brian Conley, who lives at 3100 Terrace Drive in Des Moines, wrote a letter to the Register critical of Ganske in January. Conley worked for Harkin in the 1970s as a lower level aide for a short-time period.
