He seems to be sporting a Mel Kiper look (minus the widow's peak), and his hair is definitely a few shades lighter.Citizen Carriehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12481323943813270047noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22563831.post-60336947392782793802009-03-31T10:03:00.000-07:002009-03-31T10:03:00.000-07:00HaHa CC!

And here I thought that after Bush, you might 'change' your handle but I guess we've got more of the same, eh?<BR/><BR/>RO, and those bobble heads, with their incessant football game narrative as they avoid such boring issues like handing over ourjobs to the third world instead of to our taxpaying citizens who are PAYING OUT $1M PER HEAD FOR SOME AIG WANKER SALES GUYS IN LONDON.<BR/><BR/>Will someone explain to me again why our so-called progs are down with U.S. taxpayer money supporting everyone else around the globe but our citizens?<BR/><BR/>Speaking of those heads... Last night we were watching Olbermann and all of a sudden Sirota's smiling head turned up. (His hair looks different. Does anyone know if he got hair plugs or something? Maybe it was the lighter hair tint?)2Truthyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06621258620190540140noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22563831.post-86564996793250716902009-03-31T07:13:00.000-07:002009-03-31T07:13:00.000-07:00CC: Innovate some higher tech pitchforks, possibl...CC: <I>Innovate some higher tech pitchforks, possibly with built-in GPS devices, to make it easier to join up with each other on their way to DC?</I><BR/><BR/>Now there's the can-do American spirit!<BR/><BR/>Prezdumas: Only ignorant hysterical populists who would rather indulge their emotions than think are angry that taxpayers must honor and shell-out for AIG but not UAW contracts. At least, that's what some Very Smart Pundits keep telling me, and who am I to question their stern insistence that <I>any</I> interference in the current non-stop looting party will cause irreparable damage to the Rule of Law and the Sacred Social Contract that underpins our peaceful and prosperous society. <BR/><BR/>And, technically speaking, any sharp lawyer could come up with arguments about why AIG compensation is not like UAW pensions. The whole point of the exercise is to keep the Screeching Bobble-heads of CNBC, CNN, MsNBC, etc. flogging the "ignorant and dangerous populism" propaganda, because the greed-bags can win on that technicality, while they proceed apace with the wildly unconstitutional - and social-contract shredding - massive fraud and theft operation that is being fronted by AIG.Red Oaknoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22563831.post-71428571340052460332009-03-30T17:37:00.000-07:002009-03-30T17:37:00.000-07:00Thanks for the lyrics, Anonymous.

If I'm sunning myself on Belle Isle, I'll crank up the volume of this song if I notice any enormous yachts with Qatari guests cruising past on the Detroit River.<BR/><BR/>If I didn't know any better, I'd swear this economic meltdown occurred just as planned in order to finish off the rest of the Middle Class. <BR/><BR/>As the Middle Class joins the ranks of the unworking poor, what do you think they will do to occupy their time?

The media sez 400 AIG "...Let me get this straight. The media sez 400 AIG "executives" (EAT THE EXECUTIVES!) are entitled by the CONSTITUTION to their bonuses because they had a CONTRACT, even though they created this multi-trillion dollar world-wide financial meltdown, all by their very own short, bald "executive" asses!<BR/><BR/>In the meantime, thousands of innocent, hard working auto union members (WITH A CONTRACT!) don't have SHIT for CONSTITUTIONAL protection! They are the reason that GM is failing (pause for effect) and they need to tear up their contracts; get over themselves; and figure out how to live on the same "salary" as a WALMART "greeter" with dementia.<BR/><BR/>If this was FRANCE, they would be burning down the White House and guillotining our "let them eat cake" gay president.<BR/><BR/>LIBERTE, EGALITE, FRATERNITE!prezdumasnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22563831.post-32514619008034390222009-03-30T16:47:00.000-07:002009-03-30T16:47:00.000-07:00Here is a new country music song playing all over ...Here is a new country music song playing all over the U.S:<BR/><BR/>"Shuttin Detroit Down"<BR/>John Rich<BR/>http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GoIXxFSq7og<BR/><BR/><BR/><BR/>Lyrics:<BR/><BR/>My daddy taught me that in this country everyone’s the same<BR/>You work hard for your dollar and you never pass the blame<BR/>When it don’t go your way<BR/>Now I see all these big shots whinin’ on my evening news<BR/>About how they’re losin’ billions and how it’s up to me and you<BR/>To come running to the rescue<BR/>Well pardon me if I don’t shed a tear ‘cause they’re selling make believe<BR/>And we don’t buy that here<BR/><BR/>Cause in the real world they're shutting Detroit down<BR/>While the boss man takes his bonus pay and jets out of town/<BR/>And DC’s bailing out the bankers as the farmers auction ground<BR/>Yeah while they’re living it up on Wall Street in that New York City town<BR/>Here in the real world there shuttin’ Detroit down.<BR/>They’re shuttin’ Detroit down.”<BR/><BR/>Well that old man’s been workin’ in that plant most all of his life<BR/>Now his pension plan’s been cut in half and he can’t afford to die<BR/>And it’s a crying shame ‘cause he ain’t the one to blame<BR/>When I look down and see his caloused hands<BR/>Let me tell you friend it gets me fightin’ mad<BR/><BR/>Cause in the real world there shutting Detroit down<BR/>While the boss man takes his bonus pay and jets out of town/<BR/>And DC’s bailing out the bankers as the farmers auction ground<BR/>Yeah while they’re living it up on Wall Street in that New York City town<BR/>Here in the real world there shuttin’ Detroit down.<BR/>They’re shuttin’ Detroit down.”Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
