Swim is right, all this rain coming down-
But a limited water supply is not something we’ve been forced to think about, especially in greener areas of the United States, like Georgia. We believe drought is cyclical.
Many climatologists have warned, however, that one consequence of global warming is more frequent and more severe droughts. Maybe we should learn to live with fewer golf courses and swimming pools, with lawns that demand less pampering and cars that still look just fine with less washing.
We ought to set an example of conservation in a world with an expanding population and limited resources. Already, scientists predict that wars in the near future will be waged over water. Instead of modeling excess, perhaps the United States can be a model of temperance, of living within nature’s bounds.-Cynthia Tucker, Urinal 2007

Aahhh, yes, so even the Urinal admits it was an ignorant mistake-
Russia scraps missile plans, Decision follows move by U.S. to dump shield.-Urinal!
Screaming, top of the page headline^^.
Second paragraph of the story-
Neither move, however, represented ceding any signiffcant ground. A plan to place Iskander missiles close to the Polish border was merely a threat. And while the Kremlin has previously criticized Tehran for questioning the reality of the Holocaust, Russian leaders have refused to back a Western push for tougher sanctions against Iran.
Yes, Obozo got nothing for his little betrayal of Eastern Europe.
No matter how much the AJC shouts.

By the way, how dangerous to our National Security is that^^?
Obozo gives away a key component of our defensive measures and the stooges at the Urinal make up something he got in return and the strike up the parades.
What will the state run media present as a “concession” from Obozo’s negotiations with Iran that allow the whackjobs to build “peaceful” nuclear weapons?
A promise not to kill all the Jews?
Will Obozo be cited as a hero, even as the murderers sight their weapons on Israel?

Nasty Pelosi slinks up to the national podium, shrieks in horror about the national discourse, bursts out in crocodile tears over the incivility of it all, and this led Queen Pinko to proclaim-
Conservatives are fuming (surprise, surprise) about Nancy Pelosi’s warning, but she was absolutely right. Threatening and hateful rhetoric can lead to violence.-Urinal
So check out the very next paragraph from the very next Tuck Monster manifesto-
WASHINGTON — Cheers for Sen. Max Baucus, the Montana Democrat who spent months keeping his “Gang of Six” together, negotiating with Republican senators over health care reform, no matter how insincere, cowardly or irritating they were.-Urinal
It’s not too insane is it?
It’s a good thing you libs at the Urinal still have a private health insurance plan, the way your “president” is being beaten like a drum, I fear for your mental well being.

Gas isn’t being used? Down a whopping 3%. The price had nothing to do with supply and demand and everything to do with speculative greed. I imagine you still paid too much and will get little, if anything. The tires will probably rot off before you can sell them. The wealthy have become even more tight-fisted than the middle income.
“Global oil demand is revised up nearly 0.5 mb/d for both 2009 and 2010, to 84.4 mb/d and 85.7 mb/d respectively, mostly on stronger-than-expected data in OECD North America and non-OECD Asia. The global economy is stabilising, but OECD demand is poised to remain weak for the remainder of this year, while seemingly strong non-OECD demand may be obscured by Chinese stock building.”

Whiner, I’ll ask again, since you seem to have missed the last time I brought this up–what were Reagan’s approval numbers, at their lowest, during his first term? You know, when he was dealing with double digit inflation?
Hell, Reagan’s AVERAGE first term approval ratings were no higher than what Obama’s are now.
Oh, and like it or not, after all the excrement your filthy right wing attack dogs have tried to throw at him, per Gallup 60% of Americans still believe he’s “made a sincere effort to work with Republicans in Congress to find solutions that are acceptable to both parties.”

You’re right, I was talking about the United States, bozo.
I imagine you still paid too much and will get little, if anything. The tires will probably rot off before you can sell them. The wealthy have become even more tight-fisted than the middle income.
The well worn time tested capitalist strategy of buying low and selling high escapes the common pinko, is it any wonder they spend all their time whining about other people’s money?
Large comfortable vehicles with powerful engines, no matter how much a liberal hates them, will always be in demand. And considering that Obozo is choking to death the largest and most successful segment of Government Motors, the truck/ SUV division, you’re right, perhaps I am selling a bit early. I just might let the price go up even more.
Hell, Reagan’s AVERAGE first term approval ratings were no higher than what Obama’s are now.

“Gasoline demand in the U.S. fell less than one percent in the first half of 2009 versus already-depressed first half 2008 levels. U.S. gasoline demand for the first six months of 2009 was at its lowest level for the period since 2003.”
Still about 3% from 2003 high.
Vehicles depreciate, rapidly, unless they turn out to be classics. Good luck.

That must be one helluva church you go to WHITE welcher. You always seems even more enraged on Sunday mornings. All you need to calm yourself down is a good old fashioned witch burning.
After reviewing how much cruelty Christians have used to establish their religion, or even force it on others in all parts of the world, is there much wonder why some people like Thomas Jefferson (1743-1826) observed, “Millions of innocent men, women and children, since the introduction of Christianity, have been burnt, tortured, fined, imprisoned; yet we have not advanced one inch towards humanity. What has been the effect of coercion?” Or why the Irish author Oscar Wilde (1854-1900) commented, “When I think of all the harm the Bible has done, I despair of ever writing anything to equal it.” Even Mahatma Gandhi wrote in his autobiography, The Story of My Experiments with Truth: “I had started disliking Christianity. This was not without any reason. Those days Christian missionaries used to stand in a corner near the High School in Rajkot and used disgraceful words against the Hindus and their Gods/Goddesses. I could not bear this.”

You never win at golf, you only play the game.
And, you gotta love these nitwits in the White House. Today is (another) TV day for Obowo, yet he avoids Fox News, going instead with Univision(????). What a bunch of morons. One would think that he’d appeal to the network with highest ratings, yet he runs and hides. How juvenile.
If you have what you percieve an adversarial relationship, you go head first and make your case, and your points. At least show no fear. Cowards though, hide among their sleazy friends and supporters. And this czar thing…..what a joke. Mr Dope with Chains flew in on a promise of being different, the anti-Bush, if you will. Yet, the defense against charges that these czars are not only too many, too powerful, too unregulated or univestigated, is “…well, Bush had czars…”. Nowthere’s a real change for you.
Idiots.
And the cracker chasers are still hoping to scoop up some Obowo droppings somewhere.

Pelosi’s performance was particularly irksome in light of the violent protests during the last administration. The worst protesters compared Bush to Hitler, hanged American soldiers in effigy, and carried signs that advocated killing Bush. Anarchists opposed to the World Trade Organization participated in a violent 2005 protest in San Francisco, where they fractured the skull of police Officer Peter Shields.

A Fox News Channel producer has been caught in a behind-the-scenes video rallying the crowd during last weekend’s 9/12 protest in Washington.
The Huffington Post has confirmed that the woman in the below video — seen raising her arms to rally the crowd behind Griff Jenkins, who was reporting from the scene for Fox News — is Fox News producer Heidi Noonan.
“The employee is a young, relatively inexperienced associate producer who realizes she made a mistake and has been disciplined,” Bryan Boughton, Fox News Channel Washington Bureau Chief told the Huffington Post.
Poor thang. She got disciplined. Was it at one of those Stepford schools run by McDonnell and Bachmann and others of the GOP Armey. Fifty lashes administered by one of those Republican representatives that gets into that sort of stuff.

I really don’t expect the dull witted left to refute my statements – had you read (or had someone read to you more likely) what I have written about Bush, I was, am, and never will be counted as one of his ardent supporters. Per usual, I was talking about Obowo, but you haven’t the brains to realize that, or respond to it, just instead coming out with some serendipitous remark about Bush.
That’s all you have isn’t it, hate for Bush? You cannot focus, you cannot think, you cannot respond. You can’t see the forest of corruption surrounding Obowo for the trees.

Well, the Rev. Postlewaite was kind of dull down at the Church of Holiness this a.m. I wish we had the Rev. Jim Bob Buice back, but the state won’t let him get around kids.
Anyhow, I see this Obama plumb snubbed Fox News today. He let every other network innerview him but wouldn’t go on the only news channel that tells the Truth. His people sort of hinted it was because Fox News showed Dancing with the Stars instead of his speech the other night. Well, I’d rather watch Dancing with the Stars than hear this blowhard talk. I hear the godly Tom DeLay ruptured hisself or something in practice, but I hope he gets well enough to come on the show.
Anyhow, I got some advise for Bud Wiser. Don’t even bother going to see the Falcons. They are going to loose. It’s the way things always work out in sports. Just when they talk about how bad the Carolina QB is and how hopeless the team is and how the Falcons are going to wipe the floor with them, they all of a sudden turn in a all-star performance. It never fails. Just remember you heard it here first.
