SOME BAD NEWS – BUSH’s FAULT
The U.S. economic rebound in the second quarter was stronger than previously estimated as exports surged and business spending grew, economists said before revised government figures today.
The economy expanded at an annual pace of 4.1 percent, the most in more than a year, according to the median estimate of 81 economists surveyed by Bloomberg News. The Commerce Department last month calculated the growth rate at 3.4 percent.

E) Larry Craig because he ran on “family valuesâ€.
F) Both

HEY bobwort take my test
August 30th, 2007 at 1:53 pmfirst off a BJ is not “sex”- it’s semantics, but it’s accurate.
What Clinton did was a personal matter between himself and his wife and more importantly, LEGAL.
Craig was arrested for LEWD CONDUCT and plead guilty.
Big difference.
August 30th, 2007 at 1:57 pmRoad Trip!
August 30th, 2007 at 1:57 pmShotgun!!
Even if Clinton had “sex” with Monica, his statement would make him a liar, not a hypocrite.
August 30th, 2007 at 2:01 pmomment by Bob — August 30, 2007 @ 1:53 pm
Bob, if all you’re going to say is “Clinton did it!â€, why don’t you just say “Clinton did it!†and spare us your excess verbiage?
You might think you’re being clever, but even the cleverest way of saying “Clinton did it!†is dumber than a box of sticks.
August 30th, 2007 at 2:01 pmBill Clinton swears “I did not have sex with that woman.â€
Comment by Bob — August 30, 2007 @ 1:53 pm
If you’re going to insist on bringing Clinton into this, at least get the quote right. I have been hearing a lot of conservatives say that and it is not accurate. What Clinton said, as he looked straight ahead and pointed was, “I did not have sexual relations with that woman.” He never said he didn’t have “sex” with that woman. And he said it that way for a reason. Because under a legal definition of “sexual relations” he was telling the truth because they did not have any kind of intercourse, which is what the term “sexual relations” is understood to mean, both to the public and the law.
August 30th, 2007 at 2:05 pmBob is so boring! He already shared that big of cherry-picked information with us on another thread!
Interestingly, he didn’t provide the link this time so I’ll help out:
http://www.bloomberg.com/ apps/ news?pid=20601087&sid=aP3CFLmKC2CQ&refer=worldwide
From the same article, which for some unfathomable reason Bob left out up above:
“The figures may be the peak of the expansion for this year as the cost of borrowing increased in August and the Fed said that risks to growth “increased appreciably.†In a sign that the labor market is weakening, separate government numbers today showed claims for jobless benefits climbed to the highest level since April. â€
Nice selective quotes Bob! Do you work for Faux news by chance?

So if a woman sucks on your pee pee that’s semantic:)
I just had some great semantics!!!
I guess it depends on the meaning of the word “is” is:) :)

August 30th, 2007 at 2:10 pmI hope you will be able to cover the Sunday morning talk shows for those of us who refuse to watch them.
Think Progress is one of my favorite sites–you do a great job–and I especially love the Sunday synopsis of the news.
You deserve to get away. Be safe.

Thanks, coming from you that means a lot! But it would seem that Bob has hopped on the Clinton express train and once he’s on he just can’t seem to get off! hee hee
August 30th, 2007 at 2:13 pmI don’t think that he would condone sexual harassment, and when asked his position, I’m pretty sure he would condemn such actions.
Yet Slick Willy himself is, in fact, a sexual predator!
Comment by FreshElCaminoRollingKiloG

Bill Clinton is like those guys on NBC Dateline / To Catch A Predator.
August 30th, 2007 at 2:15 pmThey all tell Chris Hansen they’ve never done this before.
When TP says “blogging will be light” they mean that the trolls will be able to ruin threads even faster.
Hey TP here is a hint. Don’t let these fu*king trolls know when you aren’t there. Just go. Don’t announce.
August 30th, 2007 at 2:15 pmsaying he didn’t have “sex” was semantics, not the act of a BJ. Plus Wayne’s comments seem to set both of us straight- even i couldn’t remember the exact quote– after all i was in college and had more important thing to think about– such as having as many sexual relations as I would be allowed.
August 30th, 2007 at 2:16 pmYep I love talking about Bill Clinton and his legacy.
August 30th, 2007 at 2:17 pmHe is still very popular you know.
He might return to the WH if his sweet wifey poo wins.
Hey spudy family man is here.
August 30th, 2007 at 2:18 pmI’m not a huge fan of the Clintons but if Hillary wins the fact that Bill would be First Dude would be great.

Discuss why you are so obsessive/ fanatical about senatorial gay sex.

“First Dude” would be a cool title, but they’ll probably call him “First Gentleman”. The cool part is that as a former president, it would not be improper to still call him “Mr. President” even if his wife is “Madame President”.

I’ve been meaning to inquire about your redundant format.
Why does your format look as if you’re trying to publish a novel? It rings a bell, one typical to that of an irritating perfectionist.
And, you repeat the same righteous crap. Why is that?
August 30th, 2007 at 2:32 pmI love all the reverance Bubba Clinton is shown here.
August 30th, 2007 at 2:33 pmTPers stand in awe of Bubba. Kinda reminds me of the Kool-Aid drinkers from that cult.

August 30th, 2007 at 2:35 pmI guess you could use the same line of reasoning to deride American soldiers serving in Iraq – that they don’t really give a shit about their own kids because they left them behind and went off looking for glory and excitement rather than staying home.
Come to think of it, that’s a pretty good justification for not sending our soldiers to illegally occupy a sovereign nation where we have no business being.

Hey TT….if you have something to say, why don’t you address me directly?
I’ll understand if you don’t feel up to it, but if not, kindly stop spamming the thread with your sniping chatter. Kthx.
August 30th, 2007 at 2:43 pmI went to a Concrete Blonde concert right before the election between Bush 41 and Clinton and the lead singer was exhorting everyone to vote and she went on to say something to the effect that Clinton may be a (swear word) (swear word) PIG, but, he was still a much better choice than Bush!
August 30th, 2007 at 2:44 pmComment by TripMaster Monkey — August 30, 2007 @ 2:43 pm
Who should care, Monkey, about your specific demands. You are being addressed. Do you know how to read?
Take it however you wish. Your opinion really makes no difference to anybody, one way or the other.
Sound familiar?
August 30th, 2007 at 2:47 pmTripMaster Trollin’ sez:
Inquire away…although you’ll have to explain why you consider it ‘redundant’.
I’m sorry if error-free posts irritate you, TT, but I was raised to do things correctly. When I went to school, things like penmanship, neatness, and spelling all counted, which can give you a good clue as to how old I am.
Perhaps if you gave examples of the ‘righteous crap’ in question, I could supply a more specific explanation, but in general, I would have to say: because it bears repeating.
August 30th, 2007 at 2:47 pmTripMaster Trollin’ sez:
There are those here who would dispute that…and if even one person disputes it, your statement is false.
See why you shouldn’t make absolute statements like that?

I enjoy reading your posts, and your opinion matters to me. Just saying, for the record. We’ll have to see if it “proves anything”.
August 30th, 2007 at 2:52 pmComment by TripMaster Monkey — August 30, 2007 @ 2:47 pm
I guess you didn’t really get the point, dim-monkey.
Your posts looks as if you’re trying to look smart, as if you’re trying too hard. A truly educated person wouldn’t brag about themselves 24/7 as you’re doing. They’re the humble types, the low-key types. Do you understand?
There’a difference between irritating perfectionist habits and doing things correctly.
August 30th, 2007 at 2:52 pmComment by TripMaster Monkey — August 30, 2007 @ 2:48 pm
Even one? That’s predictable, as this is a lefty chat hall and it’s foreseen that even a first-day leftist poster will defend your lunacy.
Looks as if Wayne-o was the first jumper. How about…anybody sane?
August 30th, 2007 at 2:56 pmWhile it is true that most efforts using “irritating perfectionist habits” often result in “doing things correctly”, it is not necessarily true that “doing things correctly” could only be the result of “irritating perfectionist habits.” Some of us are just naturally good. :)

Comment by TripMaster Trollin’ — August 30, 2007 @ 2:56 pm
Do you have evidence that I am not sane?
August 30th, 2007 at 2:58 pmTripMaster Trollin’ sez:
Again, I’m sorry if the low percentage of errors in my posts irritates you so…but rest assured that I’m not “trying too hard”. As I said, I was raised to express myself concisely, and when I write, I tend to do just that…not by choice, but by habit.
When have I bragged about my education? The skills I’m referring to were drilled into me in elementary school. I don’t brag, although I do decry the pitiful state of public education in this day and age.
Care to enlighten me as to the difference? Should I manufacture a few errors per post, to appear more ‘common man’?
If we’re quite done with this subject, I’d like to ask if you would like to discuss the content of my posts, rather than their structure. Some of your previous posts seem to impugn my views…care to elaborate?
August 30th, 2007 at 3:00 pmTripMaster Trollin’ sez:
Only predictable due to your reckless use of an absolute statement. Don’t blame me when you get caught with your own words.
First of all, you seem to be implying that Wayne is a “first-day leftist poster”, when in point of fact, Wayne has been here far longer than you.
Second, you seem to be implying that Wayne is insane. Care to provide corroborating evidence to back up that statement, or was it just a pointless insult?
August 30th, 2007 at 3:04 pm“…or was it just a pointless insult?”
Comment by TripMaster Monkey
That’s all I’ve ever seen offered from the subject poster…
He has that “I’m the only one whose sane, it’s the rest of the world that’s crazy” aura about him…
August 30th, 2007 at 3:07 pmNot sure if I’m sane or not (especially these days!) but I do know that I love the way TMM writes. Very eloquent and articulate. Thanks TMM!
