You are the “High Priest of Socialism”, Jay, who preaches the Left-wing Fringe political blather to the real CRAZIES on a daily basis.

Most if not all of your views are so far out of the mainstream with what America is about.

so which of these views are so far out of the mainstream, USMC? You said “most if not all”, so you surely have assembled a few examples for me, yes?

I won’t be real picky. As previously stated, if you can give me some of Jay’s positions that are supported by less than 33% of Americans in an issue poll conducted by a reputable pollster, I’ll consider that as qualifying for “out of the mainstream.”

So which positions, USMC? Care to back up those words of yours?

Because I don’t think you can; I don’t think you knew, when you wrote that stuff, how Americans actually poll on the issues, and if you’ve dug into the subject a bit you’ve learned that they’re probably a lot more liberal than you like to imagine.

You sure seem to worry a lot about how other people feel about things.

I think you might be the one with the self-esteem problem.

Joe Mama….Sorry I missed your comment yesterday

“The aircraft might be so equipped, but the *airport* might not be. I suspect that EUG might not have all the necessary bells and whistles to support a no-visibility landing. Is that the case, Righty?

Well, I hate to burst that suspicion, but Eugene (Mahlon Sweet Field) is equipped with ILS sensors, as well as VOR and GPS. There are however categories defining approaches and landings and runway visual ranges…but like I stated there is nothing about minimum high altitude.

I usually charge $100.00 for that info, but today i’ts FREE!

It’s too bad the Dem’s didn’t vet Obama the way the Rep’s are vetting their people. Maybe, if they did, they would be coasting to 2012 w/o worry over who the Rep’s put up and they wouldn’t be holding on by their fingernails and hoping that the Rep’s make a huge mistake so they don’t all get swept over the cliff.

I don’t see it as too open ended. Presidents, miltary, and government workers have all been taking oaths of office for a long, long time. I think it’s just a matter of the definition of enemies that is changing and may be open ended.

This Republican race is going to be a wide open brawl fest if there are 3 or 4 viable contestants. What a zoo.

Joe, Whether you want to admit or not, Obama is presiding over a broken economy and he doesn’t know how to get it turned around. With unemployment near 10%, Wall st. being a yoyo, Obamacare being the highlight of his presidency, I think even a moron has a good chance of unseating Obama. There is going to be backlash at the guy in the oval office.

M. Max — “Joe, Whether you want to admit or not, Obama is presiding over a broken economy and he doesn’t know how to get it turned around.”

Irrelevant to the fact that y’all don’t have any viable candidates. And spare me the GOP-Democrat horse race rhetoric; I voted Republican for over 20 years and enlisted in the Army during the Reagan administration. I know the GOP playbook, chapter and verse.

When faced with a choice between the devil they know and the devil they don’t know, folks tend to go with the devil they’re already familiar with.

“With unemployment near 10%, Wall st. being a yoyo, Obamacare being the highlight of his presidency, I think even a moron has a good chance of unseating Obama.”

Well, what a FORTUNATE coincidence for the GOP, considering morons are all y’all have. (laughing)

“There is going to be backlash at the guy in the oval office.”

There already *has* been; perhaps you didn’t notice. The question is whether or not the GOP can capitalize on it without having a positive message of their own. I don’t think they can.

Jay,

It’s the kind of small but telling oversight that reflects poor staff work and a campaign and candidate not yet ready for prime time.

Oooh, Bookman-hand-wringing and tsk-tsking over imagined/fabricated Republican non-gaffes, nothings and non-issues. Now there’s something we see everyday, Jay!

Coming off a president, nearly certain to lose whose mantra was “hope and change,” and whose rhetoric that once set the nation “afire,” and now whose speeches can’t fill a high school gym with a bunch of hand-picked drones, we are now realizing the importance of real substance over platitudes and hopey-changey blather. Perhaps Muhtar Kent’s words ought to be HEARD standing alone rather than couched as a stupid move by Perry.

Seems to me, in fact, that Muhtar Kent’s words spoken in that quote don’t do so much damage to Perry, but to one Jay Bookman, YOU, my friend, who wrote just last week, quoting of all things, the World Bank, claiming how easy it was to do business here. I, and most Americans think Kent has it right. Coming from Atlanta, in fact, his words have special and a stronger influence.

No wonder you think Perry made a mistake in politics. He hit YOU right between the eyes and stepped on YOUR credibility!

I like it.

Rick Perry’s speaking style proves to be no more dynamic than his debating style, which surprises me. Even from a prepared script, his delivery was flat and awkward and didn’t exactly light the conservative audience at Cobb Galleria afire.

It’s 13 months before the election. Perry is one of ten + candidates. The tea party conservatives are VERY concerned about spending #1 and big government #2. These aren’t insubstantial issues following a cult of personality.

Anyway, Obama wasn’t lighting anyone on fire in 2007, either….. and he won’t be again in 2012.

It’s not bad stuff if it’s prepared right. The trick is to get the best and freshest fish and seafood possible, and then to serve it ASAP.

If the raw stuff puts you off, try yakitori (think little grilled skewers) and tempura (lightly deep-fried) seafood, or just ask for shrimp nigiri (raw shrimp on little clumps of rice). Shrimp that way is almost like having peel-and-eat shrimp, except they’re already peeled for you.

That word is NIGIRI. Shrimp nih-GEAR-ee.

Joe, that’s what makes the world go around. You pin all your hope on the GOP putting up an idiot to replace the existing idiot. I pin my hopes on the vetting and the fact that the current crop of incumbants will get swept out. Look at the bright side, you might gain back control of the House.
In regard to your last point about the devil, all I can say is people vote with their pocketbooks, see Carter, the 1st Bush. When times appear tough, the guy in the office is responsible. As Harry Truman once said, the buck stops here. But the Dem’s still want to blame everything on the 2nd Bush, but he isn’t in office anymore. As the saying goes fool me once, shame on you, fool me twice, shame on me. We’ve seen the devil and we can judge his effectiveness.

Regarding that local company that makes that nasty drink, why should they be different from any other multinational on Wall Street?

They have NO allegiance to the United States of America. And no loyalty to their employees, share holders, consumers, communities and tax payers.

And for a few more pieces of dirty silver they now prefer to get in bed with the Communist Chinese and a host of other countries run by dictators and thugs.

Which is what the anti-patriotic neo-cons want…

Joe, One difference between then and now that you are overlooking; Bush still had some carryover from his handling of the 9/11 and the stock market and the economy were in recovery mode following the dit com bust and 9/11. Your guy is presiding over a very troublesome economy, balloning debt and all he can come up with is the very same promise and program he had for the 1st stimulus (more shovel ready jobs, school repairs that can’t start until June ‘12) . He’s playing to peoples stupidity. As I noted, fool me once…..

Joe, We can agree to disagree. I do wish Obama could do something about the economy and I don’t wish him to fail. I just don’t believe he is capable and I think he has no idea what to do about the debt which at the rate we’re going is going to overwhelm us and keep us in this recession. He keeps putting off addressing it and that is a lot of the concern among investors.

I am rather suspicious about the convenient timing with which conservatives magically discovered and started to care about the deficit.

It wasn’t *that* long ago that VP Cheney expressed his infamous statement about deficits not mattering.

Joe,

I ‘ve never approved of it unless in times of war regardless of who’s sitting in the chair, and then only to the extent of the cost of the war that can’t be funded through other means. The problem is we as a nation have become like spoiled children. We want to go to the zoo and we must have our ice cream. When Katrina hit, we spent like we had the money and not once did anyone in either party suggest that we shift our spending priorities. Deficit reduction takes a back seat to everything and is always going to happen through reduced growth to be offset by theoretical growth in revenues that never show up. This deficit is way more than the cost of the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan combined. It’s the result of everyone from both parties not being held accountable and they have been on an orgy since the days of Reagan’s tax cuts which did produce increased revenues. Unfortunately, both parties saw all that cash and found ways to waste it, rather than being prudent with it. We would have 40% move funding if we didn’t have this debt. That 40%, along with a restrained Congress, would be more than enough to keep this country from floundering the way it is. And if we keep it up, we will be at 50% in the next 4-5 years just through the power of compounding. Unfortunately, we are using the compounding process in the wrong way and just throwing money out the door without a detailed plan is not going to really improve it. Just my opinion.

Have a good weekend.

I suppose it is easier to do business in China with fewer regulations and restrictions. I remember when they had the Olympic in China, the air was so bad they had to curtail automobile traffic so the atheletes could breathe.

And the way it looks, the oligarchs in the U.S. would be willing to sacrifice air, water and employee safety for a less burdensome business environment — while they enjoy the pristine air of their Colorado mansions or their homes down in the islands.
