"Sen. McConnell’s ethics issues stem primarily from (1) earmarks he inserted into legislation for clients of his former chief of staff in exchange for campaign contributions and (2) the misuse of his nonprofit McConnell Center for Political Leadership at the University of Louisville." from that link.

haha, i love when people get fed up. http://www.talkingpointsmemo.com/archives/...#more?ref=fpblg

I'm not gonna stand here and listen to people tell me Chris Martin is a good producer. for one: per wiki 2007 "Homecoming" Kanye West Graduation Co-writer, featured vocals, piano 12. Homecoming (Ft. Chris Martin) Produced By - Kanye West & Warryn "Baby Dubb" Campbell he was the co producer for one awful song off a terrible album. For two he doesn't even produce coldplays albums. For three, he's something awful as a songwriter.

what does that mean

so this game is on?

jesus is Young still a congressman?

QUOTE (Rex Kicka** @ Sep 17, 2009 -> 10:47 PM) This is such a bulls*** out of context accusation. I'm all about calling Limbaugh out for being a jackass, but 60+ seconds into the offending bit, its just bad satire, its not him being a blatant racist. no no, you're interpreting it wrong. He's not saying we need to protect white kids. The implication is that because of the "racism" that white conservatives see in Obama (talking points memo : Obama hates white people!) blacks think it's okay to beat up innocent white kids in this day and age. Because of our president.

QUOTE (lostfan @ Sep 17, 2009 -> 10:38 PM) Absolutely one of the finest public officials around. The knee-jerk reaction in blogland was to be disappointed that he kept a "Bush holdover" but it's not about that with him, the guy doesn't give a s*** about politics. Unfortunately I don't think he wants to stick around much longer. He's staying only because the president asked him to. He's been in the government since Ford or Carter, I forget which one, and he was pretty high in the Reagan administration and of course was Bush's DCI so it's definitely more than two presidents, Obama is more like his 5th. I might be wrong, but I believe in December there was reports that Gates was openly auditioning/asking for that job.

QUOTE (kapkomet @ Sep 17, 2009 -> 10:24 PM) Oh, yes... I keep forgetting. Iraq is pointless. Christ you are impossible. The cries of blood for oil were in the run up to the Iraq war, where people were protesting attacking Iraq with little connection to 9/11. Actually it was none at all. And then it turned out no WMDs. It was NOT a slogan over afghanistan. It was NOT against taking out top Al Qaida officials.

QUOTE (kapkomet @ Sep 17, 2009 -> 10:09 PM) Oh but when Bush killed people it wass "blood for oil". I see. Somehow, it's different? yes. Iraq war = counter terrorism.

QUOTE (Rex Kicka** @ Sep 17, 2009 -> 10:09 PM) Didn't he produce the track he's featured on on Graduation? pretty sure he didn't. Kanye got all the production credits with the exception of timbaland helping with the drums in stronger. He produced Jay's awful awful song though.

terrorists. More profiles should be done on gates. Guy just quietly does his job and doesn't give a s*** about looks. Oppo. of Rummy. I'm hoping Gates is a fixture for more than TWO presidents now (three?)

QUOTE (nitetrain8601 @ Sep 17, 2009 -> 08:44 PM) Chris Martin is a great producer and known period. are we talking about the same guy?

Seriously. A small ball white sox team in this stadium is soo dumb. We don't have to play in the metrodome anymore. Get us back to a 200 HR team and with this pitching staff i guarantee we win 95 games.

so the heart of the story was correct and was TWO examples of GOVERNMENT needing to step in to get them treatment and we mock it...haha. awesome.

Tort reform Tort reform Tort reform! (tort reform) crickets....

Kudos to the flips, they weren't out of ideas.

in addition, the cold war is over.

QUOTE (StrangeSox @ Sep 17, 2009 -> 05:43 PM) IBD's poll is so s***ty its not even worth comment. For perspective, they're the same people that said Steven Hawking would be dead under government health care. No, better, they said if Stephen Hawking was British and subject to NHS health care his brilliance would not have existed.

tort reform: http://tpmlivewire.talkingpointsmemo.com/2...h-care-bill.php I didn't really understand how this could be done federally, anyways, but yeah they giving state grants.

QUOTE (The Critic @ Sep 17, 2009 -> 04:58 PM) Why are they playing Boston songs? I know that was a joke, but don't look back is a series that All Tomorrows Parties festival did getting bands back together to play their most famous album (or just bands to play their most famous album). It's taken off and copied by others and it's become a phrase in itself. I'm not sure if Devo is doing a straight album, though.

A friend bastard roommate of mine went to Jamaica and came back with appleton estate rum. Being poor and in college we drank it straight. Kind of soured me on the whole thing.

Devo is doing a don't look back tour...wish I could go to a show.

It's amazing how mad conservatives get about water level regulation.

When that democrat georgia rep calls the all white gang of six racist, he's racist. When we point out that these "grassroots" protests are riddled with racist signs, we're racist. When the crazy right fringe questions obama's birth, the networks cover it legitimately, for some reason, for weeks. They call Obama hitler, they ask, what are the comparisons to Obama and hitler, they say he's a socialist, the 24-hour news cyclists ask if Obama is going too far left with his agenda, they call him a racist, they cover is he's a racist, and the entire time they cry about how the media isn't fair and doesn't understand them. WHAAAA hundreds of thousands protest world wide against the Iraq War. The media says, "Look at what the BUsh administration says the Iraqi's have. We must protect ourselves. Look at these generals we hired getting fed info from the pentagon as to why war is great!" It's the same, it's so similar.
