Since Bush/Cheney seized the reins of power, the quality of an American life has certainly declined, drastically.

Wonderful reporting TP. I also heard Bush is trying to inslave black people again.

You reek of troll

BTW, the only people who call Obama a messiah are Limbaugh and his ditto heads; which is understandable since his existence is dependent on complaining about liberals and convincing idiots like you to vote against your interest.

This is good information to know. Next time I try and sell Americans, I’ll be sure to do it in Euros.

The supercapitalists dream of acquiring total legal ownership of all the air and water on the planet. They claim they will have so much incentive to take care of their property, regulations will be unnecessary.

I’m so sick of this petty legalistic sort of pseudo-justification – the sort of ‘well, we HAD an opinion from the Justice Department that said that this was legal …’ or ‘technically, he never said the threat was “immanent” so …’ or ‘when you calculate the costs based upon the EPA valuations, it wasn’t worth …’.

As if we should excuse them from responsibility because of their legalistic contortionism.

On the contrary, we KNOW who has screwed this country up, and all the cutsie calculations won’t EVER hold any water with me.

They can say all they want; we should never believe them again.

My question is: from 2001 to 2007, the Democrats basically stepped aside and let the Republicans have EVERYTHING they wanted. We were MISERABLE at obstructionism. So, when does the party LOUDY, CLEARLY, and IRREFUTABLY assign the blame on the Republicans? Where are the ads? It is time to air them, NOW! If we decided not to fight and to take important Constitutional procedures OFF THE TABLE so that it was clear which party bore the responsibility, when are we gonna make that case?

Given what we’ve had to put up with for the past 7 1/2 years, it better be as powerfully and vociferously made as possible, dangit!

GOP life values:

Iraqi civilian? Ah, worth about -.245 cents.

Black person? Athlete or entertainer? = $1.45. Lazy welfare mother? = about -.5674 cents.

Arab: Depends if they’re from Saudi Arabia or Dubai. Let’s say 567 million per household. Sudan, Dafur? = -.5643 cents.

Democrat? $2. (they are good for bullying).

Angry white male dittohead? $4. (gotta have the flag sucking half wits to do your bidding).

Sure, it’s only worth $6.9 million today, but that’s like $9.2 million in 2003 dollars!

Or do I have that backwards?

Ah, what does it matter? It’s all in my head anyway.

Bush, Rove and Cheney are worth about $.25 each.

If the statistical people had done the research and read the fine print then perhaps their lives would be worth more today, I have no sympathy…

Even with the value of our lives dropped to $6.9 million, I can’t believe it would have cost more than that to house Katrina victims whose lives were worth that in something other than toxic trailers.

I have long believed that to this administration, some lives are worth much more than others — and some lives aren’t worth squat to them.
