Laziness...

I agree completely with this post by Cenk Uygur of the radio show The Young Turks. The Bush Administration has screwed up a lot of things with its laziness and inability to see both sides of any situation.

Escalation...

http://www.cnn.com/2008/WORLD/meast/12/30/gaza.aid.boat/index.html

Just great. This is what things have come to. Israel is attacking ships trying to save the Palestinians from starvation. I wonder if the British will do anything about the intentional ramming of a ship flying the flag of a British territory, I wouldn't hold my breath. Anyone want to guess what would happen if an Iranian boat intentionally rammed a British flagged ship?

Idiots...

"I said I have a problem with saying 'Happy Holidays,'" Thomas told FOXNews.com. "The world ... groups Christmas with other holidays, and that's offensive to me as a Christian."

How dare the company not insult its non-Christian customers. Their job is to make their customers happy plain and simple, they can't accommodate every angry bigot on their staff.

She was probably fired for being a jerk to her co-workers. People like this who made unreasonable demands and then complain tend to be horrible co-workers. I'm sure her insubordination was just the icing on the cake.

(Un)Intended Consequences...

What do you expect? The people of California have made it clear that they consider homosexuals to be less than human. They voted by a healthy margin to remove the civil rights of gays and lesbians. This sort of behavior was bound to happen.

Preparing for the Transition...

Very suspicious. How convenient that this guy had the goods on Bush/Cheney and now he's dead.

Double Standard...

http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20081223/ap_on_go_pr_wh/bush_pardons

It's stunning the double standard that's applied to Israel by our country. A private citizen selling weapons to a foreign government without government permission would be considered treason. This isn't the only case either. Israel sank one of our ships for no reason during one of their wars against their neighbors and we didn't do anything to them. Could you imagine what would happen if a country like Egypt or Spain sank one of our ships on purpose?

This man deserved the punishment he received. He died in prison right where he belonged. Pardoning him, even posthumously, is an extreme insult to all the innocents who were killed with his planes.

Idiot...

What an idiot. Is it any wonder most Catholics don't even listen to this guy?

Too Late...

http://briefingroom.thehill.com/2008/12/17/lieberman-faces-lowest-approval-numbers-ever/

It would have been great if these people had come to this conclusion BEFORE the damn election. We're stuck with this guy for 5 more years because these idiots took too long to realize what we figured out years ago.

Disappointing Everyone...

This guy can't please anybody. Tell me again why Obama chose him? The good guys hate him because he's a hateful jerk and the bad guys hate him because he hides his hateful nature behind a nice guy disguise.

Judgmental pricks...

http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,469928,00.html

Considering what the church leadership is doing, I would imagine the congregation is a bunch of judgmental bastards anyway. Who cares what they think. She should just ignore them. As for her kids, I'm sure they know she's a good person. Maybe this will be the thing that finally gets her kids to leave this stupid church.

Equal Treatment...

http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,466606,00.html

Religion should not trump the law. It's one thing for them to eschew technology. It's an entirely other thing for them to build dangerous housing under the cover of religion. There is no reason they shouldn't have to comply with the same building codes everyone else does. What happens when one of their houses falls down and someone dies? Where does it stop with all this? Every religion seems to want to ignore any law they happen to disagree with. We can't run a country when people don't want to follow the rules.

Absurd...

http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,467066,00.html

Forgetting for a second that this guy retired and probably will not be willing to come back, this is a horrible idea on its face. Why should the Democrats allow a Republican to take Obama's seat, giving the Republicans one more vote in the Senate and one more vote for any partisan filibuster? I don't know what this guy is smoking, but I'm sure it's not legal.

Judging by his record, it seems he's one of those self-righteous conservatives that thinks the government should operate on a shoestring budget. He will be a vote against every bill to resolve this economic crisis. Beyond that, he would vote against many components of Obama's legislation including healthcare. Why would the Democrats do that for themselves? It would be like the Republicans appointing Dennis Kucinich to the Senate.

http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,467626,00.html

Sure they did. Far more likely is that he was being a colossal jerk and got offended when someone complained. I do question however why an ultra conservative who thinks people on welfare are lazy would choose social work as a career. It does tend to be a career path chosen by liberals far more than conservatives since liberals are compassionate and conservatives tend to blame people for their problems in life.

The Religious Right Strikes Again...

http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2008/12/14/AR2008121401354.html?hpid=sec-tech

That's the Bush Administration for you. They never miss a chance to allow religion unfair influence on the government. Who gets to determine what is appropriate for children? If they block porn will they block internet gambling? How about websites on controversial topics like abortion? They shouldn't create a system where certain people are made to pay for something that is otherwise free just because they want to engage in legal activity. The people behind these sorts of initiatives seem to think children are the only people worthy of protection but there are those of us out there who don't want to be held to the same standard as a 10 year old.

Thugs...

http://www.time.com/time/world/article/0,8599,1864616,00.html

These people are thugs plain and simple. They don't want to give an inch to the Palestinians so they can also have a home. Israel spends so much time walling off and punishing Palestinians but these are the people who keep killing Israeli leaders.

Get Rid of Her...

http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2008/12/05/bush-loyal-us-attorney-re_n_148714.html

If she doesn't want to leave on her own Obama should fire her. She may want to stay on in an Obama Administration, no doubt to cause trouble, but the last thing Obama needs is a bunch of Rove disciples ruining his Justice Dept.

Plagarism...

So not only are they a horrible band but they're also stealing from other bands?
