ebonlockOk best new award EVAH!
The Claude Rains Memorial Gambling Awareness Award, if you don't get the reference, shame on you, go rent Casablanca now, now, now!
Are we clear? Has everyone got that? For nearly a year, the fact that Democrats have been saying that it is illegal to fire mid- or low-level political public employees solely becaue of their political beliefs has partly obscured the fact that it is illegal to fire mid- or low-level political public employees solely becaue of their political beliefs, because of course Mr. Ehrlich said that it was all a big coinkydink that the people he happened to have his fixers make up a "death list" and fire as soon as he got into office were Democrats and that Democrats were just bringing it up because they don't like him, so it was clearly a partisan cat fight and we lost sight of the blatantly illegal thing, especially since the Democrats were being all venomous about it.
Kind of a bitch for those mid- or low-level political public employees who were illegally fired solely becaue of their political beliefs, but that's show business. I mean, they did decide to be Democrats. Nobody held a gun to their heads.
Political choices have consequences.
Funny that. Oh and Ann Coulter once again proves that she is rabid, mad-dog, foaming at the mouth bat-shit nuts:
I have difficulty ginning up much interest in this story inasmuch as I think the government should be spying on all Arabs, engaging in torture as a televised spectator sport, dropping daisy cutters wantonly throughout the Middle East, and sending liberals to Guantanamo. .
But if we must engage in a national debate on half-measures: After 9/11, any president who was not spying on people calling phone numbers associated with terrorists should be impeached for being an inept commander in chief.

Um, "dropping daisy cutters wantonly throughout the Middle East"? WTF? And um here's to spying on those brown-skinned people! Er, and yeah let's televise torture...maybe we could build a huge arena or, coliseum, yeah, and then we could throw suspected terrorists in and let them battle each other to the death. Oooh, or maybe we could put some starving lions and tigers in there for them to fight with their bare hands! Now we're cooking! Power to the police state, baby!
I have this sudden, intense mental image of Annie dressed up as Ilsa, She Wolf of the SS...

A sound call.
Date: 2005-12-28 08:34 pm (UTC)"They give me the bill, I tear up the bill. It is very convenient."
"How extravagant you are, throwing away women like that. Someday they may be scarce."
"Make it ten thousand. I'm only a poor corrupt official."
"All right, but tomorrow I'll be in with a breathtaking blonde, and it'll make me very happy if she loses."
"Rick, we know that there are many exit visas sold in this cafe, but we know that you yourself have never sold one. That is the reason we permit you to remain open."
"I thought it was because I let you win at roulette."
"That is another reason."
I mean, you can't BEAT that!
