Nick Folk kicks a field goal to send the Cowboy game into overtime, and Tony Romo is sitting on the bench on the sideline looking like someone kicked his dog. There's something going on with him.
- I ate lunch at the Icehouse in Fort Worth off Belknap over the weekend . Between the service and the loud music, it was not-a-good. Funny experience, but not-a-good.
- "Texas has joined two other Southwest border states — California and Arizona — that require immigrants to prove their legal status before they can get a driver's license." Honestly, I thought that was the rule before the change.
- When I wake up on a Monday, I just wish I could stay in bed all morning. When I wake up on a Saturday with nothing to do, I get up instead of staying in bed.
- Two more short McCain videos are going around. First he gets booed by his own supporters for saying we don't have to be scared of an Obama presidency, and then he gets agitated when on woman calls Obama an "Arab." The other shows a supporter carrying a stuffed toy monkey with an Obama sign on its little monkey head.
- McCain seems beaten down. I would be, too.
- Haven't seen it on the net yet, but Fox 4 told me a car crashed last night on 121 near Grapevine and then a motorcyclist came along, hit the wreckage, and died. Edit: Link
- That was the weirdest game ending play of the Cowboy game yesterday. On what would be the blocked punt, the left side of the line released and moved to the left as if it was going to be a fake. But that can't possibly be true.
- Somebody forwarded me an email of a picture of Obama holding the book, "The Post-American World" and warning me that the book is "a Muslim's view". Puhleese. The author of the book (that made the New York Times best seller list) is a Newsweek editor, and can be seen every month on many talk shows. This propaganda has to hurt the anti-Obama crowd more than help them.
- Someone mentioned sherbet to me yesterday. For some reason, I hadn't heard that term in years. And I wonder if I've always mispronounced it.
- The OU and Texas fans, outside the stadium, were remarkably pleasant to one another. Although I did see one Texas fan walking behind a OU fan after game yelling, "Who's your daddy?"
- Britney's new video debuted on 20/20 Friday night. I missed it, but it's online here. Oh, my. She's back to being hawt.
- The army had a virtual war exhibit at the Airshow this weekend. Young men could get in a Humvee and fire automatic weapons as scenes of Iraq go by in the virtual world. Nice. See, kids, almost getting killed is fun.
- That Methodist church on 287 going into Fort Worth was promoting a "hell house" last year during Halloween. It doesn't look they are going to do it this year.
- The University of Texas has moved into the #1 position in both polls. Ugh. (But they've still got Missouri #11, Oklahoma State #8, Texas Tech #7 Kansas #16 left, and the Big 12 Championship game.)
- Little tomatoes seem to go bad quicker than big tomatoes.
- I get a little depressed picking up the Travel section in the weekend paper because it always shows these great and interesting places that I'll never go to.

You missed another booing. Palin gets booed at a Philly hockey game. The arena turns up the music to drown the booing out.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=g7TgDanmWkg
To turn up the creepy factor, this is what Palin said pre-game: Fox News reports, "The GOP Vice-Presidential nominee said at an earlier fundraiser that she would stop some of the booing from the rowdy Philadelphia fans by putting her seven year old daughter, Piper in a Flyers jersey. She said, 'How dare they boo Piper!'"
Hanging out with the bikers are we? Next thing we know, you will be leathered up riding along side of us!!!
Why are you working on a holiday?
McCain's "let's all get along" philosophy is what's irritating Republicans. He seems to be making sure that he can go back and comfortably work in the Senate.
Palin, on the other hand, irritates Democrats because she is fighting. Democrats take opposition as a personal affront, and do everything to make sure it can't be heard. Obama's efforts in Missouri and in Chicago to deny opponents the chance to speak are typical, and they do not bode well for freedom in America.
Britney looks better now but whats up with her being naked in the video. It seems as though she just wanted to show the world her body is back to what it used to be. I dont like the song either.
"The Post American World" is strictly a book on how America is going down the tubes as far as being "The" dominant Country in the world. Or, is it a book that is able to get the reader to believe we are no onger the great Country we once were? Big difference! And, just because the guy's an Editor at an over-rated magazine which slants to the left and is a guest on all the news shows doesn't mean he's not a Muslim.
The Arabic comment and the Monkey, so what! Worse has been said and done on the liberal side to McCain and Palin. Liberals can dish it out but they can' take it, remember the "Freedom of Speech" part? As a good liberal would say, "that is those peoples right to do and say those sort of things, after all this is America."
Has the weight program given Britany a froggy voice or what?
Sorry, but we are at war with liberals, as far as I'm concerned......I'm also quite ready for some hand-to-hand combat with them!
9:48, YOU GO GIRL/BOY!!
A Clinton supporter has filed a lawsuit in Pennsylvania demanding that Obama provide his birth certificate. The one posted on the Obama web site is a forgery. The judge in the case has denied delay techniques by Obama and ordered that they produce the certificate this week. The order will be appealed. What are they hiding?
HAHA, Barry, what were you doing having lunch at a biker bar in downtown FW?
Did you ride your bike there with leather chaps?
The only person I am voting for is Dennis Hudson. Screw the rest!
10:11:
Let's see - just where do we start about what Obama is hiding?
Could be any of the following:
1. His friendship with Tony Rezko.
2. His friendship with William Ayres.
3. His work with ACORN and their plans to help him get elected with fake votes.
4. Insert your own here.
Obama is so busy hiding everything about his life. Anytime that someone brings something out against Obama, his first response is that they are being racist.
Sarah Palin has more government experience in her little thumb than Obama has in his entire body. He has spent the previous three years in the Senate running for President, instead of trying to write laws to make this country better.
After 8 years of hell, you think the small minded people of small Decatur would realize that this country needs a change. A vote for McCain is just a vote for more of the same. Do you like this Economy that you're in?
BG,
The "Evil Empire" isn't that bad. Isn't it better than Sooner Nation? At least it is still in the state.
how 'bout them BULLS! I'm disappointed I haven't seen anything about the amazing victory over the overated Bulldogs!
Republicans, your narrow minded views are everything that is wrong with this country. No other industrialized Nation in the world is as conservative and judgemental as the United States' Right Wing. Maybe you should think about the country instead of yourself for once.
I guess the left totally refuses to see true true side of Obama. His ex preacher, Rev. Wright, goes to Lybia, with Louis Farakhan to meet with Kadafhi, that's against the law in case anyone was wondering. A flag of one of the worlds most notorious killers and Marxist hangs in the Headquarters of the Obama campaign in Houston. He likes to refer to white people as typical, let a white guy say "typical black people" and it's their ass. Republican or Democrat, the most moronic vote a person could make for this country would be to vote for Obama.
While not giving any credence to the Obama birth certificate thing, there does seem to be a lot of mystery surrounding Obama.
Obama has spent most of the last fifteen years trying to leave no footprints, or covering up those he has left. He voted "present" a large number of times while an Illinois senator, often to avoid going on the record on a tough issue.
While he did go on record as voting against giving human rights to babies who had survived abortions, he has given three different explanations as to why he voted that way.
Although his relationship with William Ayers has been documented as being somewhat close and over several years, Obama downplayes Ayers as simply "someone who lived in his neighborhood."
Although Obama attended Jeremiah Wright's sermons hundreds of times over twenty years, Obama denies knowing what Wright said.
Although Obama had a long-time relationship with Tony Rezko, and in fact worked with him to buy his home, Obama professed not to know what Rezko was up to when he was committing bribery and fraud. Obama also downplays the letters that he wrote on Rezko's behalf for government contracts.
The question is, what do we actually know about Obama? He preaches "Change," yet he came up through the traditional Chicago political machine and has voted the Democrat party line nearly 100% of the time. Obama has spent his political career trying to commit to no actions, and his current promises disagree with those few actions he has taken in the past.
Who is Barack Obama?
10:31, the small-minded people of Decatur know that the Democrats are mostly responsible for this bad economy, because they refuse to drill for oil domestically.......and because they were the ones who pressured these finance companies into giving loans to people that they knew could never pay them back.
does anyone know the condition of the lady who was shot in the head friday night just outside decatur off 51 north..???no mention in mess.
1040 - Please explain your definition of "narrow minded views." Would that include, for example, shouting down the opposition so that they are not allowed to speak?
1031 - When someone wants to "change" their haircut, they generally want to get a good idea of what they are "changing" to. They will find pictures of the hairstyle they want, and probably ask the barber/hairdresser if they have done that type of haircut before. How much thought have you given to what sort of "change" you're asking for, and likely to receive? Less than you give to your haircut?
The statement at 10:31 is NOT true. Only 3% of the world's oil is offshore, yet the U.S. uses over 25% of the world's oil. Offshore drilling is just going to make our environment even worse. We need to get off the dependency to oil all together. Furtheremore, the Democrates never "pressured" finance companies to give loans. I have been in the mortgage business for the last 10 years, and when I told a customer that they could not qualify for a house, the response 100% of the time was: "Do you know another bank that I could talk to that could do the loan for me?" The American people took a "Denial" from a lender as an insult instead of thinking "hmm...maybe I can't afford this home". The American people have no one to blame but themselves for thinking they could afford a house payment of $1600/month when they only bring home $2200/month, but told the lender they made $5K/month.
10:57 I believe the shooter is still at large, armed and considered very dangerous, and has said he will not be taken alive and intends to kill as many cops as possible. I don't know why the messenger doesn't have a report on this.
Tony Romo has a broken pinkie on his throwing hand and will be out four weeks, a team source told ESPN's Michael Smith.
Romo initially was diagnosed with a pinkie sprain in Sunday's 30-24 overtime loss to the Arizona Cardinals.
Tony Romo out four weeks with broken pinky on throwing hand.
Brad Johnson to the rescue!
does anybody like mad men..it's got some great looking young ta-ta..hey now..!!
The girl you posted is uncomfortably young and innocent-looking -- make an appt. with your therapist?
1111 truth be told he probably sprained it before the game messin around with jessica simpson.
cowboys are screwed
the season is over
we could all use some baseball
I love Britney
OU SUCKS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
The shooter has been id'd as Ruben Stapp.
11:09 are you serious? I can't separate fact from fiction on this blog anymore.
11:06, sorry to disappoint but the Democrats did place pressure to give loans they just did it from the top down. Now, I am sure you felt no major pressure if your here in Decatur, it's somewhat away from Washington, not a speckle on the big boy's radar and certainly not a "heavy hitter". However, Barney Frank who sat on the Banking Committee was saying everything was alright with Freddie and Fannie, when it wasn't and while his "boyfriend" was a big wig with Freddie and Fannie. So you see, this small minded person smells a rat just like with Obama. Something just doesn't add up with this man. Say as you wish about the Republicans but they were not the cause and if you blame Bush you were blaming him before he stepped in to the White House in 2000, you didn't know why at the time, you were just doing as told. It's a thing with the liberal Democrats, when they speak some people just seem to smile, crap there pants and say, "which way shall we go ole marvelous leader". You people better "wake up and smell the roses". As Jack Nicholson said in a movie a few years ago, "You can't handle the truth." Yep, that about sums it up for the liberals.
1106 - Your comments regarding oil are interesting. Two separate, unrelated statements linked as somehow being cause and effect.
"3% of the world's oil is offshore." - That may or may not be true. Even if it is, some experts estimate that there may be more than two trillion barrels of oil still to be extracted. Three percent of that number is sixty billion barrels. Americans use about twenty million barrels of oil a day. Using your own math, offshore drilling alone could sustain America for nearly twenty years. During that time we could access other sources of oil as well as alternative energies. P.S. It takes more energy to be the world's largest food supplier, which the US is.
Regarding Democrats pressuring lenders to approve mortgages: The Community Reinvestment Act definitely pressured lenders to grant mortgages in communities that were deemed "underserved." This led to lenders marketing to those communities with subprime loans and ARMs. To quote the always-dependable Wikipedia: "The crisis began with the bursting of the United States housing bubble and high default rates on "subprime" and adjustable rate mortgages (ARM), beginning in approximately 2005–2006." McCain sponsored legislation for more regulation on FM/FM in 2004.
Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac were key players in this debacle. I've already adequately documented that Democrats defended these two monstrosities while they were imploding the economy.
Feh. Sometimes I forget who I'm talking to.
1138 of course i'm serious, if you doubt it call the sheriff office.
just because it's not in the messupper doesn't mean it's not true, they are just slow to report real news. what's new..??
Phil Berg, former Pennsylvania Deputy Attorney General and Clinton supporter, is the attorney who filed the lawsuit to force Obama to provide a copy of his birth certificate. The
"Certificate of Live Birth" posted on the Obama web site is not a birth certificate. This will probably go to the Supreme Court after the election and before the Electoral College. Could this mean that Hillery is not out yet? Watch those Clintons!!
I'm surprised you didn't mention the B'port win over B'nnet on Friday night.
Do you like those 6 wins? I hope you do. I hope you do very much.
Double Fake Jerry Jones
Barry,
I'm surprised you are not bragging on those Baylor Bears. Come on man, they are not in the cellar anymore, in fact the cellar dwellers are those good ole brunt of all jokes, The Aggies of Texas A&M. You should be proud. That QB they have is awesome.
You conservative weenies make me laugh!
Hey Wordkyle, Who is Obama?
He is your next president of these United States of America.
Get used to it.
Be respectful.
The sub-prime market that has driven property values up died along with Fannie and Freddie. Bill Clinton is responsible for the crash. His actions in 1995 - 1998 caused the problem. Fact not fiction, Bush, with the support of McCain, tried to fix it in 2003 thru 2006 but was blocked by the Democrat Congress. A hard rain is go'n to fall.
It took the real estate market several years to hit bottom in the 1980's during that crash. I am sitting back like a buzzard in a dead oak tree waiting for something to get run over. I guess I should thank Clinton.
By the way, where did all the mortgage company adds go?
I am a Sooner fan who was at the OU-TX game Saturday and all I can say about Texas fans is that they need to learn how to win with grace. It's pretty sad when you can't walk around the fairgrounds without grown men yelling "OU Sucks" in the face of my teenaged daughter.
Why is it that when the economy does well, Republicans always take credit for it if the current President is a republican; however, if the economy does poorly while a Republican is President, then it is always the fault of the last Democrat President?
Bush is the FIRST U.S. PRESIDENT EVER to cut taxes during a war. The Deficit was positive when he took office, and now it is 3 times worse than it has ever been. I'm sure that is Clinton's fault somehow??? (I am being sarcastic)
Democrats want what is best for the Country as a whole such as gay rights, tax hikes for the rich, environmental issues, etc. Republicans selfishly want what is best for them such as no gay rights because everyone should not be treated equal, tax cuts for everyone even though the country doesn't have enough money to run itself, leveraging our grand kid's earth to drill offshore for 3% of the world's oil when the real solution is to get away from oil all together.
I know you don't think Liberals improve the world, but read the bible "my friends", Jesus was a liberal and died for it.
10:15 they were arse less leather chaps, that guy in Britney's video is super hawt!!!
If Obamas birth certificate isn't authentic can anyone imagine what will happen? Yes I know, Hillary will step in, that's the easy answer. If his birth certificate is fraudulent, it means he's a fraud (right, we, well some of us, are already aware of that)then what type of punishment is there for that? I mean this guy has received national security information and he's not even a US citizen. He's been a Senator in Washington and not a citizen of the US. He's been a community org.., never mind that doesn't count, what can be done to this guy? Something should be done for dang sure. I wonder if ACORN was behind this? ROTFLMAO at the liberals.
10:11 and 12:35 - Here's a link regarding the Obama birth certificate non-issue for you and others inclined to believe such nonsense.
http://www.snopes.com/politics/obama/birthcertificate.asp
1:17, If Jesus was a liberal how do you explain his thought on abortion and gay rights? Ya might want to go back and check on that using his words written in the Bible. If he was anything he was an independent. I don't believe you'll find that in the Bible but I'm just say'n. Look, he loves everyone thats for sure but he doesn't approve of what some do.
Take a look at Drudge. There's a picture of Obama. I don't believe he's a racist. He just, well never mind.
1:17 Are you serious?
1) What rights don't gays enjoy?
2) If taxes are raised on the rich, who ultimately pays for that? The middle-class, the folks Obama claims to be wanting to help. Put yourself in their shoes, that tax increase is passed on to the middle-class through inflation & unemployment because they raise the price of their product and services or lay people off to compensate for the tax increase.
3)Go to the dept. of energy website and read about the green river shale oil formation in Colorado, Utah and Wyoming. It is the largest oil shale formation in the world and contains between 1.5 and 1.8 trillion barrels of oil. More oil than even Saudi Arabia. Shell oil co. developed the technology to produce it at about $30 a barrel. Yet, the government won't let them go get it. We don't have to get away from oil altogether.
The proof that Obama is wrong about getting domestic oil is the fact that OPEC is now talking about reducing production to drive the price of oil back up. Energy independence is the answer. As long as we are at their mercy our economy will never be stable. Obama is majorly wrong in this area.
M-M,
Your answers:
1st, They don't have the right to marry whomever they choose.
2nd, are you suggesting we don't raise taxes at all and just continue using money we don't have?
It has to come from somewhere. I don't see how rich people having LESS money will cause inflation.
3rd, I am talking about offshore drilling. Last time I looked, Colorado, Utah and Wyoming were not located offshore, but I'll check again.
Oh not again.....somebody is circulating a message on Obama's voting record and it is sponsored by some guy from the Billy Graham Evangelistic Association.
I respect Graham, but the religious right are just a bunch of fanatics.
Carl Rove again?
A recent analysis by the University of Wisonsin shows that ten percent of Obama’s recent ads are characterized as negative, compared to McCain’s fifty six percent. I guess when your ideology is morally bankrupt or your basic arguments are intellectually inferior, that’s the kind of BS you have to promote.
W
I find wannabe bikers who wear all the leather regalia to be quite comical. Tell me you weren't all decked out when you visited the biker bar. please!
Britney looks good but the song sucks.
3:36, 10% of Obamas ads maybe be negative but the other 90% are B.S.
I guess when your ideology is morally bankrupt or your basic arguments are intellectually inferior, that's the kind of B.S. "You" have to promote. Thanks for trying and good luck, NEXT!!!
2:14
1)Their rights to marry are exactly the same as anyone else. They can marry anyone they want of the opposite sex and only one person. The marriage law applies equally to everyone regardless of their sexual orientation. So, that means their rights have not been violated.
2)Answered in order Yes and no. Yes, don't raise taxes anymore. No, the answer is to stop spending. Our government wastes so much and is so ineffecient we need fiscal responsibility. Stop spending.
3)But offshore is not the only oil we have. It's a start, though. We need to start now and energy independence will not happen over night, but in time it will. We have to start somewhere.
Jesus was a Jew, not a liberal Roman like Constatine. No, he would not tolerate homosexuality or obortions. He would love the Palin family and tell Obama to change his ways and go sin no more.
11:48 and 12:57 You guys need to stop embarrassing yourself. You are simply repeating lies told by talk radio. Turn off that radio and get in touch with reality.
All the rhetoric about Fannie/Freddie and how it is ALL the liberals fault is fulfilling your fantasies but simply not true. Accept it and move on.
here is one example you can read for yourselves
Republicans should step back and take a look at themselves, Identify their problems and maybe they can rebuild their hopelessly failed party.
I wonder if she'd like to see my nuts.
Rocky "the flying" Squirrel
So let's respond...
336 - That would be seventy-seven percent (77%) of Obama's campaign ads that are negative, compared to only 56% of McCain's. (Details here.) Other than that little detail, I can't disagree with your analysis. In all fairness (seriously,) politicians use negative ads because they work.
216 - Reaching the conclusion that "the religious right are just a bunch of fanatics" because you received an e-mail is just as stupid as believing all the e-mails you get. Painting with a broad brush like that is called prejudice, bigotry and intolerance. Yep, sounds like a typical Liberal.
214 - 1) Gays have been extended the legal right not to be offended. (Open to interpretation by Liberal judges.) This is a right not extended to non-minority heterosexuals. Christians, on the other hand, can be freely insulted and discriminated against, despite having Constitutional protection. For what it's worth, I personally have no problem with gay civil marriage. What I don't like are militant gays who feel they have the right to demand approval (not "tolerance") of their lifestyle.
2) Without getting into the Laffer curve, etc., regarding proper levels of taxation (do the top 25% of income earners really need to pay more than 86% of all taxes?) why don't we try to trim government spending so that the government (not "we") doesn't need to raise taxes. We can begin with Obama's Global Poverty Act, which will redistribute nearly a trillion extra American dollars to other countries (via the UN) for no other reason than Liberals think we should.
3) The oil deposits available through offshore drilling are only a small part of what would be available to Americans compared to what is available on American soil (which was M&M's point.) Responsibility for American security and economic health has been put into the hands of radical (dare I say militant?) environmentalists.
Hey12:57
Not a very good arguement for Mc Cain as the House of Representitives and the Senate had been controlled by the Republicans from 2003 through 2006.
It looks like the Republican leadership messed this one up!!
How many of you are better off today than you were 8 years ago?
Wordbile ... You are nothing but a Parrot and/or a puppet. Hey .... Dumb ASS ... McPain is down in double digits.
Duuuuuhhhh.. Its about J.O.B.S and the economy. Want to wager on the outcome?
431 - Read this 1999 New York Times article for contemporary analysis of Fannie Mae's policies, without the benefit of 20/20 hindisght and rewriting of history.
Then read the not-always-dependable-but-well-documented-in-this-case article on the subprime mortgage crisis in Wikipedia.
Then explain how Fannie Mae was totally under control and needed no oversight -- that's what Democrats did in 2004. The same Democrats, by the way, who ushered through the $700 billion "bailout."
Then explain how Clinton's policies (per the NYT article cited above) and the CRA did NOT put pressure on mortgage lenders to lend money to unqualified buyers.
Not a bit of talk radio influence here, simply thinking and research. There's plenty of blame to go around, but Fannie Mae was the Democrats' baby from the get-go. I believe Fannie Mae has the checkstubs to prove it.
Wordkyle,I laugh a lot when I read your posts. You speak as if from some kind of authoritative position on world matters all the while regurgitating nothing more than bits and peaces you pick up from various sources that are typically slanted one way or another.
If you were a lamb headed to slaughter you might not be the first in line but you'd be in line none the less.
As a matter of fact,we're all in that same line in one way or another.
If Obama is elected,the line will only move faster.
1:17
To my knowledge, Jesus Christ did not make any statement about homosexuality. If you have an exact book/Chapter/verse from the Gospels in the New Testament, where Jesus addresses homosexuality specifically is a sin, I would appreciate it if you could post it here.
There are a few references I am aware of in the Old Testament. It is part of the Mosiac Laws in the book of Leviticus and also has hundreds of other laws such as killing your children if they do not obey you, etc.
I am not condoning homosexuality as a choice, but I am saying that Conservative Christians have put too much emphasis on this issue in a hate filled message to non-Christians.
Yet, they ignore the needs of the poor and call them lazy, they ignore the damage we are inflicting on the earth, they condone the use human of torture, and many other issues Christians are called to do.
BTW, Jesus did not say one word in regard to homosexuality. In fact the only place it is mentioned at all in the New Testament was by Paul.
And Wordkyle - your response to 216 - When you say, "Yep, sounds like a typical Liberal," you are doing the exact same thing - you are "painting with a broad brush" yourself in regards to typical liberals, big boy.
You do that frequently. Oh the irony.
10:42 Wordkyle
"Who is Barrack Obama?"
After four years, we all know who he is.
We know who John McCain is.
The effort the Republicans are putting forth on the "who is Obama" questions is weak and leaves voters asking, "is this all you have got?" The economy is in failure and "THIS is your strategy?"
It is a lame, feeble attempt to save a failing campaign.
**He picks a running mate with an objective of winning votes, not governing the nation. Comedians are having a hey-day making fun of her inexperience and lack of readiness for the position.
**He makes a lame attempt, to rush back to Washington to 'save the day' on the bailout. Congress did not pass the bailout bill after he arrived and it was delayed.
**He says the economy is fundamentally sound.
**He turns his campaign dishonest and ugly. He uses lies against Obama, then launches such a hate filled character attack, that it frightens the nation and he has to announce to his crowd that, "Obama is a decent man, not an enemy, but an opponent"
Most people recognize these strategies from the Bush years. They are disgusted by them.
Do not refrigerate your tomatoes.
5:26, Count me in as better off.
5:26, me too. Much better off.
With a little initiative and some hard work, in 8 years you'll be better off as well, no matter who is president!
Stop using the government as a measurement of "are you better off." That's Lefty thinking. Conservatives do, Liberals wish.
Make it happen!
At least Sarah Palin has attended a normal church. Not like the radical one Obama went to.
WordKyle is in rare form on this topic with his MasterdeBating skills. He shows that he really has a handle on it.
5:52 WORDKYLE
Obviously, you did NOT read the article I quoted. At best, you read the 1st paragraph and quit.
You have now clearly shown you do not understand the financial crisis. (or much of anything else)
You don't listen to talk radio? yeah right!
654 - All very nice, without addressing the question of Obama. Is it Obama, the promiser of "change?" Or Obama the politician who came up through the corrupt Chicago political machine and who adheres to the Democrat party line nearly 100% of the time? Those who are serious can reasonably ask questions -- such as, What has Obama ever accomplished that makes you believe he's qualified to be President? Watch the confusion when a group of Obama supporters were asked to name one accomplishment of Obama's. Sorry if such questions bother you. Given the lack of thought process among Obama supporters, though, I can see where they would.
645 - "Mr. Irony:" My description of Liberals and their intolerance is accurate, based on harsh experience. Search the comments for attacks on the religious right, if you ned proof. Additionally, I am also bigoted and prejudiced against Liberalism.
633 - I'm glad to see you acknowledge that I get my information from a variety of sources. Sounds like that bothers you. You don't provide any examples or explanation of why that would be bad, so what's your point?
Odd how suddenly I am the subject of discussion, rather than the points I and others have made. It appears the Liberals have no other weapon than personal attacks when Conservatives fight back. They certainly don't have any answers. A lesson to keep in mind.
I am, 5:26. And most everyone I know is too.
911 - Of course I read the entire article. Did you read the articles that I cited?
Many, many experts -- not just me -- point to the meltdown at Fannie Mae as the precipitating event that led to the current economic crisis. Fannie Mae was a beehive of Democrat cronysim and corruption. (e.g., political donations to Dodd and Obama; vigorous Democrat defense of Franlin Raines)
Here's a thoroughly-referenced section of Wikipedia: "The U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development's mortgage policies fueled the trend towards issuing risky loans. In 1995, Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac began receiving affordable housing credit for purchasing mortgage backed securities which included loans to low income borrowers. This resulted in the agencies purchasing subprime securities. Subprime mortgage loan originations surged by 25% per year between 1994 and 2003, resulting in a nearly ten-fold increase in the volume of these loans in just nine years. As of November 2007 Fannie Mae held a total of $55.9 billion of subprime securities and $324.7 billion of Alt-A securities in their portfolios. As of the 2008Q2 Freddie Mac had $190 billion in Alt-A mortgages. Together they have more than half of the $1 trillion of Alt-A mortgages. The growth in the subprime mortgage market, which included B, C and D paper bought by private investors such as hedge funds, fed a housing bubble that later burst."
If that simplified explantion of the financial crisis is incorrect, please feel free to enlighten us. With proper references, of course.
9:14 Wordkyle - You are the subject of discussion because you have no answers.
Yet, in your mind, you seem to think you know something.
Your points are wrong, irrelevant or talking points from the right wing.
You never address anyone else's points, but go off in your own rant.
Do you consume alcohol while you are blogging?
All you Publicans that are so much better off than 8 years ago, either already had it made, are lying, or have rich parents that provide extra benefits for you. Most of the hard-working folks I know are worse off. However, I am glad you that are so much better off and wish you continued success at being better off in spite of a shitty economy and a Nation in so much debt that a digit had to be added to the same "Nation Debt Clock" that was shut down during the Clinton Administration. Hip Hip Hooray for the "Better Off" Conservatives!
About the time it looks like WordKyle has MasterdeBated his very best, he comes back for more.

Uh, YES mR. Negative Norbert 5:56, I am in fact better off. You see, the formula is quite simple. Quit sitting on your ass in front of the boob-toob, get up every day and work diligently. You too can join our club.
Rather, it seems you have absorbed the pessimism peddled across your 52" poison plasma box. You, fool, deserve your misfortune. Me, I deserve my good life. I earned it.
9:37:
Sheesh. Nice attitude. And you're surprised you're worse off than you were 8 years ago?
With an outlook like that, it's really going to suck to be you in 8 more years.
Perhaps you should heed 10:19's advice.
Best of luck to you.
934 - I'm apparenly still your target. You hurl several vague accusations at me personally, yet don't dispute my points.
This is what I do know: Obama is still a mystery, even to his supporters. But he makes you feel good, so you don't mind. And questions apparently infuriate you.
937 asked a question that he didn't like the answers to, so he accused Republicans who answered of lying. There seems to be a theme here, doesn't there?
4:15 AM - Wordkyle, You are writing comments here at 4:15 AM?
Have you been drinking all night and surfing the internet?
Things are beginning to add up. There is a reason you make no sense. Is Jarhead with you?
Remember, admitting you have a problem is the first step. We are all here for you.
842 - Thanks for the concern. I get up at 4:00 a.m. and I'm at work (at the keyboard) usually no later than 5:30 a.m.
My drinking days and all-nighters (with some few exceptions when I have a deadline) are well behind me.

What is the definition of a "normal" church?
Then, what is YOUR definition of a "normal" church?
Double Fake First Church of the Overly Holy Sanctimonious and Arrogant Liberally Oppressed Boat People of the King's Tabernacle Seven Days a Week of Grace and Hope Cates Street Christ Scientists
Re: the picture at the top.
That's my daughter you pervert. Hope you got a lot of money you sicko.
jarhead, working for wages at the same job for the 8 bush years, with raises not keeping up with all the other cost like fuel, energy, we have seen each year medical insurance go up and benefits go way down, not to mention groceries and meds, and basic need expenses have gone up so much. You try to insult me, but you are insulting a huge population of hard working wage owners in the same boat. Maybe because your were in the military, you got one of those "mental discharge" things that pays you about twice as much as a regular working man makes for doing nothing. Only at the cost of American tax payers. I and many others work hard everyday, and for you to have such a crumby attitude says volumes about you and Conservatives in general. Like I said, already well off, help from parents, or lying. Conservatives are big on flat out lying.
914, Wordkyle probably does not drink alcohol while he is MasterdeBating. He can't MasterdeBate at his best if he can't keep up his attention.
