Doesn't the Pope have anything better to do????

Despite eyewitness accounts, archival evidence, years of historical documentation and admissions of fact on the part of the German government, there are still people, who are, in fact, clearly idiots. These particular idiots deny the holocaust ever happened. Apparently, and perhaps unsurprisingly, one of these idiots was recently allowed back into the Catholic Church by Pope Palpatine I.

CNN reports: Bishop Richard Williamson, recently pardoned by His Holiness, stated just before the excommunication was lifted: "I believe that the historical evidence is strongly against -- is hugely against -- 6 million Jews having been deliberately gassed in gas chambers as a deliberate policy of Adolf Hitler...I believe there were no gas chambers."

The dude lives, and this is not a joke, in Argentina. I wonder if he got his views by hanging with Cardinal Mengele. You Sir, are obviously just what the Catholic Church needs coming out the back end of pedophile scandals--Nazi sympathizers.

You are an idiot.

I'm not sold yet...

I hate to be a doubter, but what I've seen coming out about the stimulus package appears to dump more federal money into existing federal programs, rather than new job creation or infrastructure programs. Now, maybe the moneys are to be used by the existing fed. agencies in job creation--but this doesn't appear to be the "New Deal" type recovery package the nation needs, but rather, a compromise version of what can be passed... That being said, here's the Prez, arguing for the program. I have great faith in his ability, but I'm not sold on this bill...yet.

I'm having too much fun with these

50 Points and a Triple Double?

Um, looks like the same guy who figures Brian Urlacher's tackles counts Lebron's rebounds...

Still a great game...no need to pad the stats...

Pushin the plan...

Hey this is new...

"WASHINGTON – President Barack Obama is taking responsibility for mistakes in the handling of the tax controversy that led to Tom Daschle's withdrawal as President Barack Obama's nominee to be health and human services secretary, saying: "I screwed up."
The president did a series of back-to-back television interviews in which the subject of failed nominees was a top subject.

Obama told NBC "I'm frustrated with myself" for unintentionally sending a message that there are "two sets of rules" for paying taxes, "one for prominent people and one for ordinary folks."

Personal responsibility from the Commander in Chief...someone please help me here, is this legal? Is it Constitutional? What is going on? I don't understand....

NEVER FORGET THE POWER OF THE DR.!!!

Mere seconds after the Dr. posted asking for Dasche's withdrawal....this came in...

Tom Daschle has withdrawn his name from consideration for secretary of Health and Human Services, the Associated Press reports. Story here.

DON'T MESS WITH ME HALLS OF POWER!

I am a Democrat and I've Paid My Taxes...

Guess I'm a rarity these days....the New York Times came out firing today on Health and Human Services Nominee Tom Daschle, and with good damn reason. You may have heard that there's been a bit of an "oversight"on his 1040EZ ...

"Mr. Daschle’s tax shortfall is particularly troubling because it comes on the heels of another nominee’s failure to pay taxes due. We were not pleased when the president’s Treasury secretary, Timothy Geithner, admitted that he had failed to pay tens of thousands of dollars in federal self-employment taxes while working for the International Monetary Fund despite having signed paperwork acknowledging the obligation.

Now we are confronted with an even larger lapse by Mr. Daschle, who failed to pay $128,000 in taxes, primarily for personal use of a car and driver provided to him by a private equity firm for which he consulted."

Read the full editorial.

Okay, I can see maybe missing out on a couple thou, but this is borderline obscene. And these are my guys! This is not a good start.

Come on, Mr. President, where's the vetting? The campaign was inspiring, the inauguration was a seminal moment in American history...the first couple weeks in office....ennnnh. Two straight tax cheats in a row being pushed during confirmation hearings takes the heat off your stimulus plan. This is not the way to change the way business is done in D.C.! It's early, and my hopes are still high, but come on!!! Let's do this thing...

Daschle needs to withdraw, and someone who hasn't committed a felony level tax "mistake" nominated. What needs to be done in regard to health care is much too important for this distraction. Peace.

Phelps to guest star on That 70s Show remake

Ooops....hey, the kid is 23, he spends more time underwater than Aquaman, he treated us to one of the greatest athletic performances in history in 2008...if the kid wants to light up once in awhile, this is the first sign I've noticed that he's human. Well, that and the constant listening to the Ipod.

No need to apologize to this ranter...but maybe watch the cameras next time, my man.

Isn't there a rule...

That the Super Bowl is supposed to be crappy....not live up to the hype, etc? We've had two fantastic games in a row--what the hell's going on???
