Are we back on the pumice theme again? ;-)
—————————————————————————————–

s, I don’t know about ‘tipping point’, but last night I realized just how angry I am over the complete politicizing of the question of troop escalation. The fact that W has put the new Democratic majority in such a position where, if they go along with increasing troop numbers, thereby increasing casualties, they’re to blame. If they reduce or halt funding, or start redeploying troops elsewhere and Iraq takes that last step into all-out civil war, they’re to blame. This president has put our country into a no-win situation, and the troops suffer. He and his gang of thugs are willing to sacrifice our troops for his own ego and face-saving. This should be absolutely unthinkable to any rational human being. Watching W recently, there is certainly evidence that he’s getting close to his own personal tipping point, and I hope that the country both sees that, and comes to its own tipping point.

A bit indelicate, Clyde, but I concur.

While preparing the video of Biden and Graham on MTP for uploading to YouTube (and listening to it at least a dozen times), it’s obvious to me that Democrats are trying to manuveur Republicans into taking action against their own leader. Because, barring a populist movement to impeach and remove Bush and Cheney from office (state legislature by state legislature ), Democrats can’t do it (stop the war or remove Bush-Cheney from office) without Republicans signing on, too.

Where the ball stands now is for we, the people, to bring extraordinary pressure to bear on Republicans (and Democrats). If the state legislature impeachments got moving again, if people hit the streets and joined their local war protest marchers (in my region, that’s been every Friday from 5-7 pm, on street corners at the center of towns, since the war began in 2003), and brought friends, it might motivate Republicans to rethink their ‘Bush-loyalty.’

Go figure…

Chris Matthews mischaracterized and misquoted Biden (as you can see and hear for yourself).

But what else is new?

My apologies to you Easterners for highjacking the thread, however, see my last.

I had not heard that he was leaving. As far as I am concerned the man is a Republican. I also am disturbed to hear that he is going to ASU. The Sun Devils are up there on my list of favorites and I am not sure Erickson will be a postive influence. At one time he could have been an outstanding coach but his reach has outdistanced his grasp. Unlike DUHbya he doesn’t have Daddy and the Doughboys to bail him out.

If you Easterners were able too stay sober Saturday noght long enough to watch the West Coast games you would not have been so embarassed as you were Monday and tonight. Tonight’s game should have been bteween USC and Boise State and the final would have been Boise State 21. USC 20. QED

Didn’t you hear? Erickson dumped us, too! After 10 months, he’s off to Arizona State. People here were/are sooooo pissed off.

UI is way out of our league in terms of the conference we’re in, it’s ridiculous.

If I wasn’t pissed at Dennis Erickson for leaving Seattle and Oregon State I would be on your side.

The Pac Ten should add San Diego State, Fresno State, San Jose State, Idaho, Boise State, and Nevada, Las Vegas then split into two divisions of eight teams each and alternate schedules. As it is the top teams in the nation must play each other while the east Coast Gerrymandered conferences masturbate to the Bowl games and lose their collective asses.

University of Idaho Vandals — except their specialty is snatching defeat from the jaws of victory… :)

BSU :P

Lighten up! The kids done good for a bunch “tater tots!”

In any other sport in the world, from the youngest amateur to the oldest professional league the champion is the one that loses the fewest games in the season. Not so the BSC (Bull Shit Conference); the winner is the one with the most money. Ohio State spent $40 million to win 12 and lose 1; Boise State spent $4 million to win 13 games. Which is the better business? Who should be number one?
