I need to see She’s Out of Control again too.

Man, wouldn’t it be cool to start an 80s movie club? We could get a group of people together to watch an 80s movie and then wax nostalgic about those bygone days of big hair done up with Aqua “Rock” Net hairspray and jelly bracelets, leg warmers, and really heavy black eyeliner for guys and girls.

You would be correct, sir. I cannot name a single legislative achievement of either Pelosi or Reid. But I hardly see what that proves, other than my ignorance of a Rep and a Senator that do not represent my state. Of course, I doubt I could tell you what the likes of Carl Levin and Joe Knollenberg have done either, and they do represent me, as a political constiuent. What can I say? I’m pretty much your average American — full of opinions devoid of any real knowledge. But damn, boy, I love dem NASCAR races. And that Larry the Cable Guy — Get ‘er done!

I do not disgaree that Pelosi and Reid are where they are because of Republican incompetance and corruption. That is usually how it works. One party stinks it up, allowing the other party to take control. It is, as you may or may not be aware, called Democracy in acation. Cue the CNN music: da da da da da da. (Yeah, let’s see you do better).

What precisely is your problem with Pelosi being third in line to Presidency? Is this a woman hating thing, born from a broken heart or perhaps a small weenie or just plain old poor sexual performance. In any case, it seems unfounded, since what are the chances of that coming to pass. Unless you know something that the rest of us do not. (wink, wink. nudge, nudge. say no more)

OMG what an amazing discover you’ve made — earmarks. And politicians lie. You’ve shaken me idealistic image of this country and the people who run it to the very core. I’m not sure how I can go on. Look, I don’t like earmarks anymore than you do, unless of course they benefit my state or better yet my district or even better yet me directly, but they are a fact of the process and they aren’t about to go away. But hey, look at this way. You’ll always have a default gripe to pull out of your ass whnever you want to bitch about the government.

As for Obama and his earmarks. You may be shocked — shocked, I tell you, good sir — to discover that I do think he is a saint. I have not raised him to the leve of diety as some have. I do happen to think he’s the best option out there, though. And the fact that he isn’t Hilary Clinton only sweetens the deal.

If you really think you are witness the demise of the parties, you are even more naive than I originally thought. The complaint you sound is old, pal. Very old. People have been trumpting the demise of the two party system forever. But unfortunately, it is not going to happen. I’m not saying I like it. I don’t in many ways. I’d love for a major third party, a party that can put forth a descent third candidate, something better than the likes of Ralph Nader or Ron Paul. Whack jobs, both. With no fucking chance to be anything but spoilers.

The thing I really love about your type, who can’t wait for the complete and utter breakdown of the system, is that you never have much in the way of ideas as to how things would operate in the aftermath. No doubt this is a symptom of crap movies, tv shows, and video games littered with pointless car crashes and explosions. It’s gotten to the point that the destruction is the point. What happens after is all credits, ie who was the key grip and best boy. Look, if you got a better idea, or better idea, then by all means put them forth. Otherwise, you might do well to shut the hell up!

Quoting Lewis Black you’re preaching to the choir, pal. Now their is someone who should be a diety. But you do realize that he is striking a persona on stage. I’m not saying he doesn’t seriously believe what he rants about. But the fact is, he has writers now, who write much of his stuff. Even if that wasn’t the case, and even if he didn’t believe what he was raging about. It would still be funny. And that’s the point. Why? Because he’s a fuckiing comedian dude. He’d crack wise about your sexual confusion if he thought it would get him big laughs. That isn’t a condemnation of the man. I worship him, as a comedian.

Let me ask you this. If Lewis Black is so against the President and both political parties why did he host that National Correspondents Dinner with the President in attendance? Although it turned out that Bush couldn’t make it and sent Cheney in his place. Could it be that Black, for he’s understandble disdain for the political powers that be, understands that working within the system is more productive than whining on the sidelines or from the blogosphere or whatever. Think about it? No you won’t.

Ooo. Bucko. Good comeback, Potsie. But I get it now. You’re one of them bitter Hilary supporters. No, wait Ron Paul. Not way that Carr dude. No wait, you’re an independant whiney asshole who just like sling ineffectual blather. Much like myself, of course, so you know… But perhaps you’re right. Perhaps the Obama campaign does have a lot to learn. But it is, we are. Learning all the way to the White House baby. And once there, if you think will give a rats fuck what jerk offs like you are bellyaching about, you got another think coming

BTW, Pelosi & Reid are where they are because the Republicans in Congress were so corrupt and incompetent at managing this country that the Republican majority was thrown out of office. In other words, Pelosi is 3rd in line for the presidency because of happenstance not necessarily because of her great political accumen.

As for the earmarks, many of them are hidden in legislation so the country won’t know the specifics of the thievery. Both parties are equally corrupt ;and just for the record, the last time I heard, Obama had refused to tell us, you and me, “we the people”, about his list of earmarks, who got the money and specifically what it being spent on.

What’s next, oh yea, I sure do know what RIP stands for. It may be premature, but what we’re witnessing is the demise of both parties and watching their roles in American politics diminishing. I can think of nothing better than for both parties disappearing for ever. Neither has done a credible job and deserve the defections to the ranks of independents.

I believe comedian Lewis Black is spot on when discussing the DP and the RP. Paraphrasing Black, ” you have the Republican party which is the party of no ideas, and the Democratic party which is the party of lousy ideas!”

Sorry, Bucko, no sound bites tonight. Just a thought . . . every time an Obama supporter calls a Hillary supporter or someone with a differing opinion an idiot, it proves the Obama campaign and its supporters have a long way to go before they will ever be taken seriously.

Keep readin’ and writin’…

And a poor approval rating for the congress does not mean that Pelosi is not allowed to speak out. In fact, that is part of her job description dumb ass. Whether you like it or not. If that were true then Bush should have shut the fuck up a long, long, long time ago.

What kind of joke is Pelosi exactly? Our we talking a knock-knock joke? A riddle? Or perhaps the T-shirt, bumper sticker, t-shirt variety? Or maybe just youstandard off-color locker room kind of jab? There are all kind of jokes, pally. Be specific.

Can I name once accomplishment of Pelosi’s and Reid’s. Hmm. Let me see. Oh yeah. A DEMOCRATIC MAJORITY in both houses of Congress. Boo YA! Take that, prick!

9,000 earmarsk. Wow! That’s a lot. Of course, to properly evaluate them I’ll be needing details on them. So if you could just gather up that info and deliver it to my in-box by the end of the day that’d be just great, mmm ‘kay.

Perhaps you’re not aware but RIP stands for Rest In Peace. Which would suggest of the two-party system that it no longer exists, but in fact, if you bother to do a little looking, you’ll discover that the two-party system dominates our government. So I’m not really sure what relevance your comment has. I mean other than you’re idiot that likes to spout sound bites.
