Politics & Government - 16 January 2007

The time has come to ask the question:

Can it be that our president is not just wrong, not just stubborn, not just acting on sinister but purposeful motives, but mad as a hatter – in the clinical sense? Is the President of the United States of America, mentally ill?

Ever since Bush's speech Wednesday night I've listened carefully as media analysts and members Congress try to make sense out of what Bush proposed for a new strategy in Iraq. For Congress the effort comes about four years late. But rather than being relieved to hear them finally asking tough questions, I was left scratching my head. It occurred to me everyone was trying to make sense out something that was demonstrably “sense-less.” Not senseless in just the policy, strategic or moral sense, but senseless as in “insane.” Hell, Bush not only was saying crazy things Wednesday night, but he even looked crazy.

Traditionally, taxes are raised during wartime to pay for the war. In WWII they even had things like rubber and sugar rations. This makes sense because war costs more then the usual spending the government does. But Bush was the first president to lower taxes during a war.

Would you support a tax increase, if the extra money went directly to paying for the war? The war so far has been paid on credit, so we would need to pay-back what has been spent so far too.

November 19th i was pulled over for expired tags. I live in Fairfax County VA. I gave the officer my license, he ran it, came back and told me that my license is suspended. I told him that I had paid an expired inspection ticket late and he informed me that's what caused it. He let me drive away, with no license, and told me to appear at court and explain this to the judge. My record is perfect besides this and I did not get notice from the DMV. My court date is coming up and I just need some help as to how to handle this in court..should I talk to the prosecutor first? What am I going to be looking at for a outcome?
Thanks for your time and help!

An unborn baby cannot commit a crime. Yet, Buckwheat thinks it's hypocritical to execute a murderer.

What gives?

The Democrats have only been in power for 1 1/2 weeks, and already Pelosi has put 6 tax increases on the agenda. I've only heard this briefly on one channel--why is that? Is that because the liberal media is ashamed?

I hope all the Democrats are happy--there hasn't been a tax increase since Bush came into power, but now the the Democrats have our attention, there goes all of America's hard-earned money for pointless bullshit programs that don't help anybody.

Is this what we wanted? I didn't vote for her--I would have rather died. And this is one of the reasons why. You can't say that the war is costing Americans millions of dollars because our taxes haven't increased!

I guess Pelosi was too busy watching football instead of listening to the American public.

he would most likely be charged and his case sent to the courts. If however a ittle Old White Lady was found to be possessing a gun what do you think the chances are that she would also be charged and have her case sent to the courts? I would think it would be very unlikely!! Is this not discrimantion against the young, the black, and men?

I would just like to comment of these people who are all claiming that a swat on the backside is "child abuse", THIS IS NUTS in this great country of ours that a parent is not allowd to disapline their child. Growing up I got spankings when I needed it and yes i said needed it, I also got my mouth slapped a few times for talking back and such. I DO NOT FEEL I WAS ABUSED, and I am a productive member of society and I turned out to be a fairly level headed person. I have never been in trouble with the law or anything like this. I will say that it can be abuse if it is taken to far.

Here's my personal favorite...

"Our enemies are innovative and resourceful, and so are we. They never stop thinking about new ways to harm our country and our people, and neither do we."

What's yours? Winner is the one who can find the quote that cracks me up the most... or horrifies me the most... whichever comes first.

Hail to the Idiot!

Or serious faces? Sometimes they put masks on so you can't tell how they look. Are they really that bitter? Are they that mad at life all the time?
