Puny Hermaphrodite,

…do they sell feminine products strong enough for you?

I agree, but think you’re being too optimistic… cat food has gotten just as expensive as human food. I think these people will be starving to death, while in some cases, as occurred on Easter Island, you might see people killing and eating anything they can catch…

I was in Anchorage | Denali in August 2002 for 10 days and the temperature was 56 degrees – for the daily high. Except one day when it was 75.

Cold is subjective.

There are so many partisan arguments in this that the partisan brain posted it’s hard to know where to begin.

Inflation is a problem – 2.6% in a 1.1% GDP growth would make a reasonable non-partisan concerned.
Unemployment only tracks those on the roles, it doesn’t reflect new job creation or jobs relative the beginning of the presidential term, both of which make Bush look like one of the worst stewards of the american economy in history – maybe since Hoover.
The deficit is HUGE, and only an unthinking partisan brain wouldn’t consider this a problem.
Housing starts were DOWN in december, and the mortgage industry has already signaled the boom is over.
The stock market always climbs the wall of misery – only a partisan who claims to know something about economics wouldn’t know or admit this.
And Skyrocketing Energy is part of the failure of the economic policies, and a direct result of Bush international policies, just as the levee failures were a direct result of Bush policies.

It doesn’t take a partisan to realize that the economy is puttering along, and the indicators are a mixed bag at best, and a screaming failure at worst. But apparently the partisan brain like yours filters out all of the information, and replaces it with emotions, cheerleading and misinformation.

But don’t worry, it’s easy to correct your misinformation, and to offer you my forgiveness for your sins. I know you don’t mean to bear false witness (isn’t that the religious term? – I prefer lie), but you clearly can’t help yourself. I forgive you for being so desperate that you’d let your animal brain think for you – and I feel pity for you that you’re so frightened of liberals or those that disagree with you. Clearly it’s made you giddy with hysteria – poor thing. It’s OK, it doesn’t mean you’re a bad person, just that you’re making bad choices.

Alberta sits atop the biggest petroleum deposit outside the Arabian peninsula – as many as 300 billion recoverable barrels and another trillion-plus barrels that could one day be within reach using new retrieval methods. (By contrast, the entire Middle East holds an estimated 685 billion barrels that are recoverable.) But there’s a catch. Alberta’s black gold isn’t the stuff that geysered up from Jed Clampett’s backyard. It’s more like a mix of Silly Putty and coffee grounds – think of the tar patties that stick to the bottom of your sandals at the beach – and it’s trapped beneath hundreds of feet of clay and rock.

The weather up north is not as cold as one thinks it is.

I was in Anchorage in the summer of 2004 and the temperature was 94 degrees in Argust.

Problem is, the Hamurabic Code predates it by, probably, a good five hundred years. And it is not like the Bible has a monopoly on concepts like murder, stealing, lying are wrong.

This administration make up their own reality to fit their needs.

When did the facts every matter to this President… they’ll say what they want, when they want, whether it is true or not. The truth does not matter to this President.

“Happy days are here again?”

Right before Christmas, gas prices fell considerably, like right around Thanksgiving. I think it was to get people in the mood to go shop. Now that the biggest shopping season is over, guess what, gas prices going back up. 2/3rds of the economy depends on people going out and shopping, 1/3rd of most retailers annual revenue comes at Christmas time. That was a small concession to keep the holiday shopping season profitable. Now its back to gauging by big oil.

And that is the best line of the day.

Inflation is down.

Unemployment is down.

The deficit is down as a percentage of GDP.

Federal revenues are up.

Housing starts are up.

The stock market rallied today – big time, as they say.

And all of this despite skyrocketing energy costs and the worst hurricane season in a century.

Oh yeah, TP’s timing is impecable. With all this good economic news, TP picks today to highlight a slugggish fourth quarter growth number – literally the only negative data in a sea of good news. If that’s the best you can do, I guess things must be pretty good.
