Please accept my apologies for posting this garbage, but, you must admit, it has been kind of slow around here today. Enjoy and of course, MAJOR BARF ALERT!

This twit will probably ignore the stench flowing from Loral today though.

Alex Cockburn is a slick communist stooge who lives off rich women and enjoys biting the hand that feeds him.

Amazingly pathetic job on Cockburn's part, as is typical.

Will Dick Cheney keel over from his fifth heart attack before he becomes the first veep since Spiro Agnew to resign in the face of charges of financial crookery? Or will Bush fire him to divert attention from his own scummy past?

When a "writer" begins his tome with such utter bile, does he honestly believe any thinking person is going to give him any credence?

What a chump.

Cockburn has gone bye-bye. What an ultra-maroon. A ta-ra-ra-goon-dee-ay, if you will.

That vapid reporter needs some schooling in history. Even I know that the accounting industry paid out big claims in securities lawsuits in the early '90s. They might have done the same previous to that decade, but I don't know for certain. But as to the early '90s -- directly under clintoon's watch -- I can attest firsthand that some of the then Big Six accounting firms (Ernst & Young for one) definitely paid out settlements, while admitting no guilt of course! And under clintoon -- and even congress pre-1995 when the GOP did not have the majority -- much direct lobbying and campaign coffer stuffing was done to get the powers that be to relax the third-party securities lawsuits that targeted the big accounting firms. I get a laugh when I see some of the democrats speaking pointedly against the accounting scandals now (I believe Billy Tauzin is one example), remembering how eager they were to help the accounting profession back then. Republicans helped as well, I should add. There is nothing wrong with helping a profession and I am not saying that at all. It is just that the dems are always two-faced and deceitful, whereas the GOP is straightforward. In other words, the cowardly dems will help allright but bail immediately in a very public way if the sh_t hits the fan. The GOP sticks to its guns and if it sees it is wrong, it admits it. Most importantly, the GOP doesn't choose its friends by sticking its hand up to the prevailing winds first.

It's amazing that the dark side contains so much bile, even today, even though we're at war. Pathetic shill!

Don't Leftists often complain that conservatives believe in nutty conspiracy theories? Cant't get much nuttier than this.

Over the weekend President Dumbo

Wow! I'm in awe of such impartial reporting. BTW Could someone explain to me if Bush is "Dumbo" and yet his SATs were higher than Gore's, what does that make Gore?

This Cockburn guy's a commie. His brother is a commie and his daddy was a famous commie. It runs in the family.

Thank you for the advice but when I have tried to post my list with line breaks it would not post because -- THE LIST IS WAY, WAY TOO BIG.

For a little bit of comic relief and to see the entire list in all it's true splendor click on my profile page.
