Dear Roscoe
Thank you for giving me the material for another chapter of my soon to be (self)published textbook Ask Dr. Science Anything But Dumb Questions.
There is nothing further I can offer your eminent knowledgeableness on this subject, other than that when a baster is used, a basterd is produced…..

Heâ€™s not thoroughly contemptible. In fact, sometimes heâ€™s not even the least bit unpleasant.

chimpeach, I will always give credit where it is due and I know that Al’s efforts are appreciated. He demonstrates “Hate the war, not the troops” which I admire, even if I don’t agree with him politically. For the record, I can’t stand Rush Limpballs

Hey, robert, you gotta give Al points for going over to Iraq and Afghanistan several times now to entertain the troops, and he keeps partisan politics out of it while he’s there. He often works and travels there with performers who have completely different political views from his, but he doesn’t let it get in the way.

Unlike Franken, the one time Limbaugh went over there, he used the occasion to bash Democrats in front of the troops. You may not agree with Al politically, but he’s doing it to entertain the troops, not to try to brainwash them.

Jason, Please give some support for your claim about Cuba showing evidence that they will drill in the gulf with support from China and Venezuela. Your statement sounds like the paranoid ramblings of someone who fears communism. Didnâ€™t you hear, Rupert Murdoch said that China is not communist, so there is nothing to fear there. Do a little history check also. The last time drilling in the gulf came up the governor of Florida, some guy named Bush, lobbied the president to not support drilling. Something about destroying the tourist industry in Florida was mentioned. So donâ€™t toss blame without looking at what is out there, especially when it is part of the historic record. Besides, ever flown over the Gulf? That place is full of oil rigs already, i.e. the US is drilling there quite a bit already and they have not been unilaterally stopped.

Ah, I see how it is, Robert. You know I’ll be watching, don’t you…? I am a patient woman. :)

Can you say â€œcharacter,â€ Robert?

Comment by Zooey

Now, Zooey, I do not want to talk about your character. That wouldn’t be right in public. ;)

â€œKeeping us up here eats away at families,â€ said Rep. Jack Kingston (R-Ga.), who typically flies home on Thursdays and returns to Washington on Tuesdays. â€œMarriages suffer. The Democrats could care less about families â€” thatâ€™s what this says.â€

Spoken by a man who got a 0% voter rating from the Children’s Defense Fund, School Nutrition Association, American Family Voices, Workplace Fairness, National Youth Advocacy Coalition, and a 12% from the American Public Health Association. He has consistently voted against minimum wage increases.

Hey, Jack, maybe if the minimum wage was increased, some of the working poor parents out there could spend a little more time at home with their kids, too.

For lawmakers within a reasonable commute of Washington, longer weeks are not a burden — although they are likely to cut into members’ fundraising and campaigning activities. But for members from Alaska and Hawaii, the West Coast, or rural states, the new schedule will mean less time at home and more stress.

“Keeping us up here eats away at families,” said Rep. Jack Kingston (R-Ga.), who typically flies home on Thursdays and returns to Washington on Tuesdays. “Marriages suffer. The Democrats could care less about families — that’s what this says.”

Republicans are funny. Here’s an idea. Quit.

Who will be the first wingnut pundit to take Al Franken seriously on fathering Mary Cheneyâ€™s baby? Heh.
Comment by Zooey â€” December 6, 2006 @ 1:09 pm

Zooey, no one will bite. Everyone knows that Mary would not “do” Franken. She needs someone more manly, like Heather & a turkey baster!

If I worked 241 days in ONE year, I’d be out of a job, but congress get’s to work less than 1 out of every 2 days on the most important job in the country? Nice. Make them work 5 days a week ALL the TIME. THEN they can tell us how hard their job is.
