		<description>It must be a relief not to have to set the alarm to go to work in the White House.  Working for that rodeo belt buckle wearin&#039; hell of a cowboy from Connecticut.  Despite what anybody says Bush can put two words together; nook and lear.  Good choice though, to resign.  I can hear the chorus in the background...another one bites the dust.  I can&#039;t wait until the head maggot heads for ranch and the village so they can have their idiot back.  I am hoping for more resignations this week.</description>

		<description>Can we be sure Tim Goeglein has resigned (i.e., no longer on the tax-payer&#039;s payroll)?

Loyal Bushies, once caught and publicly disgraced, tend to &#039;resign&#039; or get &#039;fired&#039; but actually just are laying low while they are still on the payroll or transferred to another political position, hired as a contractor for the administration or farmed out to a Republican Conservative think tank.</description>

		<description>Thereâ€™s the fear and trepidation of the right wing, in a nutshell.

There is a lot of fear on the left wing, too. The majority of Democrats did not vote for Obama in the primaries.</description>

		<description>Oh Wow!  Holy Cow!

This guy will just surface somewhere else, placed there by his current employer - the Bush administration and GOP.

These people have no shame!

Liberals/Democrats are just plain better people than conservative/republicans.</description>

		<description>How can a man that is so completely surrounded by all manner of criminal behavior/corruption not know what&#039;s going on? Plausible deniability? Yea right! One or two instances of criminal behavior could slip by the all-knowing almighty Commander Guy - that I could buy. The amount that comes out of the White House now? Nope - I&#039;m not buying that. There&#039;s too much of it to miss. If the White House was a restaurant it would be shut down for health and safety violations. 404: Restoration Of Honor And Dignity Not Found.</description>

Comment by Marie â€” March 1, 2008 @ 10:48 am&lt;/em&gt;

that responsibility falls to us, the TP &quot;community&quot;, first...
not enough people are flagging... OR the flagged amount needs lowered...

but i would really enjoy an &quot;open thread&quot; also...</description>

		<description>This case also illustrates the Luddite nature of conservatives. Helllllo? Google? When trolls plagiarize in the comments here, it takes literally seconds to determine where they stole the text (usually wingnut blogs). Like the dumbest of thieving college students, people like this can&#039;t figure out how easy it is to prove they&#039;ve stolen the material . . . or said what they claimed they never said (in front of a camera, no less).

Perhaps it&#039;s just simple stupidity, I dunno.</description>

		<description>Bilbo, Didn&#039;t TP do that a long time ago?  I don&#039;t remember when it stopped.  It may have been due to the trolls.

I don&#039;t like to post off-topics, even though I do so at times anyway; yet, if I criticize trolls for posting their nonsense off-topic, I feel a bit hypocritical when I do it.

TP could solve my moral dilemma with an open thread on weekends but first they&#039;d have to figure out how to eliminate the trolls who would most certainly  take it over.</description>

		<description>The war has been largely Privitized. No bid contracts and lack of meaningfull oversite has resulted in scandalous cost over runs.

This is a Republican war for profits, not a war to defend America. It&#039;s as sipmple, and evil, as that. Killing hundreds of thousands if innocents to maintain the flow of money into a few pockets. Bush=Hitler is unfair to Hitler. Hitler was nuts. Bush is just out and out evil.</description>

		<description>Professor Stiglitz was on c-span this morning.  He gave three reasons why the War in Iraq is different from past wars....resulting in its Enormous Pricetag:

The war was fought with Borrowed Money.  Unlike other wars, Bush Cut Taxes.  America will be paying huge  interest charges for decades, if not forever.

The survival rate of injured troops has increased dramatically, because of rapid evacuation and excellent Medical Care. While this is certainly a good thing, it results in higher costs.

		<description>Medicare is not a socialized health care system.  Single-payer systems in other countries are not socialized medicine.  These are socialized INSURANCE program.  In a true socialized medicine system (e.g. Britain), the doctors and nurses and everyone else are government employees.  This is not what single-payer health care is about.  We can achieve a successful single-payer system by extending Medicare to the entire population.  We can transition by immediately applying it to pregnant women and children under 5, then gradually extend the system to everyone.</description>
