Can’t we all just get along?
It’s been a fractious, divisive week here on the blog, so I thought I’d send us all home on this rainy Friday afternoon with something that everybody can agree upon:
This, ladies and gentlemen, is the greatest jazz pianist of all time.

Liberals are a little irritated that Obama has raised defense spending by 4% and plans on increasing the number of troops that we have. So he can send them out to die for oil, of course.
Jay, tell your editors to print a front page story about Obama’s favorite Tyler Perry movie while he sends out 17,000 troops to the meatgrinder known as Afghanastan.

Commie,
Your so-called conservative party of do nothings, led by you “could do no wrong for he was the blessed one”, Bush, has lied and cheated we the people for eight long years. Now, payback will be your hell. Live with it or leave. Makes no difference to me which path you choose. By the way, I’m still waiting for you to go up against me through Jay. Are you ready, cowardly commie.

If you really want to understand what idiocy guides our nation at the present moment, read just this one little paragraph-
Fairness is at stake but so is the economy as a whole. This Mini Depression is partly the result of a widening gap between what Americans can afford to buy and what Americans, when fully employed, can produce. And that gap is in no small measure due to the widening gap in incomes, since the rich don’t devote nearly as large a portion of their incomes to buying things as middle and lower-income people. The rich, after all, already have most of what they want.
–Robert Third Reich
Oblahmi’s labor sekratary^^, heh.
I get it, so after 8 years of the libs hounding Americans for hogging resources, now it turns out we weren’t spending enough.
So give it to the deadbeats and let them take a “crack” at it, huh?
I hate to break the news to you dimwits, there is a reason why successful people are successful, they are smart enough and intuitive enough to expand their capital by putting it to good use, instead of frittering it away.
We are all fixing to find this out the hard way.

Republicans are always complaining about death and taxes. Then again, nothing new there. They just cannot get enough killing to keep them happy and on top of that, they think that their wars can be funded without paying any taxes.

I would like to take this opportunity to congratulate thee Oblahmi on the following remarkable achievement, many men have taken a shot at this accomplishment and have fallen short, better men than thee Oblahmi have faltered where he now stands alone, holding a record that no others can pad their resume with, well, except for Herbert Hoover that is-
The Dow Jones Industrial Average dropped 119.15 points, or 1.7%, to end at 7062.93. The blue-chip benchmark ended down 937.93 points, or 11.72% on the month — the worst percentage drop since 1933, when it fell 15.62%.

Let us all bow in the direction of Chicago, where lives a man smarter than us all:
2/27:Taxpayer, I’ve already posted my credentials. Auburn and Duke. Good enough for you? Shall I post the names of my professors, classes, credits, GPA, SAT scores and whatever else I have?
2/20: “Chad Harris, If you’re a medical doctor then how do you spend so much time on the AJC blogs? My wife’s a doctor at a major University Hospital here in Chicago. She barely has time to eat lunch. Anyhoo, I earned my MBA at Duke University.
2/19: “I want to ask you this Joe, since you say that people like me are uneducated, I’d like to know where you attended college. I went to Duke, comrade.
1/19: “AmVet, I’m guessing Dusty questioned your service because many people make up stuff. I get called a liar all the time when I inform someone that I went to Duke.
1/14: “Yes Obama is smart. I’m smart and I have an MBA from Duke but it doesn’t make me presidential material. ”
1/13: “Indeed, I did meet and am still friends with the African that I met at Duke. He was on scholarship from Kenya.”
1/08: “DB, Gwinnettian, besides hurling empty rhetoric can you please instead enlighten this Duke grad on basic economics?”
1/08: “Its’ welfare. Jay, I have an MBA from Duke. You have a simple bachelors degree from Penn State, right? So, I guess that would make me smarter than you. Right?”

Taxevader,
payback will be my hell? Dude, there is nothing you, nor any other pansy lib, can do to me. I’m far far above you, pal. I don’t live by a hatred for anyone like you do. Taxevader, you apparently can not read. On the last Bookman blog, I pointed out to you that I owe you nothing. I don’t have to prove my credentials to you or Bookman. My credentials have led me to a much bigger and better life. Sorry comrade but your chicken tactics don’t work. Why, because I know that I am MUCH smarter and brighter than you. I present facts and you present pointless challenges. I’m sure you will challenge me to a dual or some other childish game. Moron.

caz1158,
sadly you won’t get a good Chicago style pizza in Atlanta. Now, if you ever come to Chicago, Mrs. G and I can point you in the right direction. By the way, Bookman and I like to spar back and forth. It’s what debate is all about. I do say things that can be perceived as “mean-spirited” but I do try to tone it down. It’s just that people like taxpayer and midori that really get on my nerves.

Jay, I think the AJC should run a ten page insert next week on the contents of Oblahma’s IPOD.
Meanwhile, he is doubling foreign aid while we’re in the middle of a recession, and he is keeping troops in Iraq until he can move them all to Afghanastan to die for oil.
I seem to recall the AJC spewing on Bush for 8 straight years over the same things that Obama is doing, but I must be remembering incorrectly because liberal media bias does not exist.

I never applied to Brown. You seem to think that Duke is second rate. Please inform us all just where it is that you went to college.
Outer,
what in particular am I ill-informed about? And no, even Bookman knows that I Report(ajc/dncmanagement) are not the same people. Shall I assume that you are Brad Steal? I mean, since you two have the same IQ which is that of a carrot.

When I read about the oft-mentioned, ostensibly slanted “free press”, I wonder how to square that with the notion of the free market we discuss here?
The free marketplace dictates that the news be reported the way it is; that the popular entertainment/sports business to be set up the way it is; and how our capitalist society and government function as they do.
That’s simply the way it is, right? If the free market didn’t like it “the way it is”, it would “self-correct” and, in this instance the “free press” would become different/conservative/fair-and-balanced(lol)…

my wife and I went to eat at a pizza joint off of Ashland a few weeks ago. The food was terrific but I can’t recall the name. Anyway, Pequods is good and it’s off of Clyborn. I’ve yet to try Purgatory Pizza and their sign drives me NUTS! They have macaroni and cheese pizza. I see the sign right before I connect at Belmont for the red line.
