Terminator Declares
Ahnuld loves Charlie. And so does Bobby Kennedy Jr.
TAMPA — What can stop Charlie Crist now? The Terminator has his back. Yes, the one and only Ahnuld has taken time away from pondering what on earth to do about his bankrupt state to boost another failed governor’s failing independent campaign for the U.S. Senate. Professional courtesy I guess you’d call it.
If you think about it, they’re a natural team (even if one of them is built like a stretch Hummer and the other is so skinny he has to run around in the shower to get wet). Both men have retailed baseless environmental alarums for votes, both are about as popular with the Republican base in their states as tooth decay, and, most importantly, both of their terms as governor expire shortly after the election and neither has the least prospect of a further political career. Ahnuld at least can fall back on acting. Floridians will simply say, “Hasta la vista, Charlie” to Crist after he loses the Senate race to conservative Republican Marco Rubio November 2.
Restrained as I always am in political comments, I read nothing into the fact that Governor Schwarzenegger chose to endorse Governor Crist via Twitter. So please hold those tasteless jokes about one Twit endorsing another.
In his Twit, sent from Europe from where Ahnuld was avoiding Sacramento, he praised Crist as a “great leader” who “works with both parties.” Florida Republicans may have difficulty remembering when Crist last worked with them, and in any case nothing much resulted from Crist’s labors. Since Crist took office early in 2007 Florida’s unemployment rate has more than tripled and home foreclosures have gone, excuse the expression, through the roof. (Perhaps this is why Crist avoids Tallahassee as much as Ahnuld avoids Sacramento. In the last two years there have been more sightings of Elvis in Tallahassee than of Crist working in his office.)
The buffed one added, “Our country needs someone like him in DC right now.” Perhaps Ahnuld is too busy with the spiraling problems of California to notice that Washington is already full of vacuous and principle-free career politicians like Crist, this being why so many voters are so scratchy this year.
On receiving the endorsement, Crist replied with this little air kiss: “Governor Schwarzenegger has led California through extraordinarily difficult times in a bipartisan way. We have worked together on such crucial issues as reducing climate change and promoting alternative energy. I’m honored to have the support of this independent leader,” Crist wrote.”
I guess this is a soft way for Crist to say that Ahnuld’s policies and his record in office have been as incoherent and achievement-free as his own. Having just survived another Florida summer, I can say the climate here is the same as it was before Ahnuld and Charlie put their hearts and minds to it. And whatever they’ve done on the energy front hasn’t led to the production of a single extra kilowatt hour of electricity or a single extra half-gallon of anything combustible.
Though Charlie and Ahnuld have done nothing about the climate (and seem unaware that they couldn’t even if they wanted to), as well as less than nothing to produce more energy, they’ve certainly demagogued the issues in an attempt to win the granola vote.
In a two-day climate dog and pony show called by Crist in Miami in the summer of 2007, Ahnuld was a guest speaker. He showed how deeply he has studied the complex chemistry of climate by revealing, “We have to say hasta la vista to greenhouse gasses.”
Well, that clears it up. At this séance, Crist issued an executive order to put Florida on a carbon cap and trade system. Fortunately, this daft order required legislative action, and a lucid Florida Legislature refused to go along with the gag. A very expensive gag it would have been too.
Also at the Miami “climate change summit” were various activists, palmed off by Crist as climate experts. One of these was Robert Kennedy Jr., son of the former presidential candidate, attorney general, and Kennedy family consigliere. Kennedy demonstrated the kind of practical, even-handed, bipartisan approach Charlie says he wants to bring to Washington by claiming that anyone who rejects the global warming hysterics worldview and agenda is a “traitor.” And check out this more recent measured Kennedy remark about Rubio: “Mr. Rubio has a radical vision, a narrow vision, an I-can-be-as-stupid-as-I-want vision of this country.” Bobby Jr. has now endorsed Charlie.
Charming. I’m sure there are some Floridians who will be tempted to give Crist another look when they learn that these two moderates are now on Team Charlie. But even if both of them decide to vote for Crist this will do little to alter the formidable arithmetic facing the Crist campaign.
Rubio, who has run on opposing the Obama agenda, putting an end to federal turbo-spending, and defending American exceptionalism, is saying what the biggest fraction of Florida voters want to hear this year. As a result the Real Clear Politics average of polls give Rubio a monster lead at 45 percent, with 28.8 percent for Crist and 21 percent for Democrat Kendrick Meek.
Crist can turn his positions on issues around in short order, and has done so frequently. But with help from the likes of Ahnuld and Jr., he won’t turn these kinds of poll numbers around in less than three weeks. Not even if his excellent string of C-list endorsements continues and Bill Ayers decides to join Team Charlie.

Siegfried X| 10.14.10 @ 7:10AM
Arnold demonstrates the Achilles heel of conservative, Tea Party Republicans: they can't stop themselves from voting for tough guy RINOs. They love those maverick RINOs, as long as they talk tough.
Other obvious examples are 2008 John McCain and Rudy Giuliani.
This year's tough guy RINO is Chris Christie. He's a gun-banning, illegal alien-loving, pro abortion RINO who enforces gun laws but ignores illegal aliens. But since he got in the face of one punk, lots of conservatives are ready to crown him king of the Republican Party. He even won a tea party straw poll.
Phatnitic Nilus| 10.14.10 @ 7:47AM
Ann Coulter says Christie reminds her of Reagan.
Siegfried X| 10.14.10 @ 8:01AM
That just proves that Coulter is part of the Republican establishment. She also supported McCain in 2008.
donserge| 10.14.10 @ 9:11AM
One very big reason why Obama is president is that many conservatives sat home last election and did not vote. (Saying that McCain would have been terrible is only conjecture)
Siegfried X| 10.14.10 @ 10:00AM
They stayed home because the Republican leadership nominated the RINO McCain, and because they'd been governing like Democrats for 10 years.
Phatnitic Nilus| 10.14.10 @ 11:11AM
I voted for McCain in 2008 because he was slightly better than Obama. The last time I felt good about my vote was in 1984 when I voted for Reagan. I didn't like either Bush very much, and Bob Dole reminds me of an undertaker.
MikeAT | 10.15.10 @ 12:34PM
Phatnitic Nilus
It's not that McCain was "slightly better" than B Hussein Obama...he sucked less. I haven't seen such a bad choice of two canidates since the 1991 Louisiana governor's race between David Duke and the current federal prisoner Edwin Edwards.
GregA| 10.14.10 @ 2:49PM
Siegfried, Coulter said Christie (NJ's Governor) reminds her of Reagan, not Crist. I read it wrong the first time too.
Redstateboy| 10.14.10 @ 11:49AM
Yeah... Right... provide us that quote and source.
Ken (Old Texican)| 10.14.10 @ 9:15AM
Terminator. God is the great terminator. Ever think of that. Any of you out there made your funeral arrangements? I have. "When We All Get to Heaven" will be sung at mine. Margie suggested this good old Baptist hymn.
Sing the wondrous love of Jesus,
Sing His mercy and His grace;
In the mansions bright and blessed
He’ll prepare for us a place.
Refrain:
When we all get to heaven,
What a day of rejoicing that will be!
When we all see Jesus,
We’ll sing and shout the victory!
While we walk the pilgrim pathway,
Clouds will overspread the sky;
But when trav’ling days are over,
Not a shadow, not a sigh.
Let us then be true and faithful,
Trusting, serving every day;
Just one glimpse of Him in glory
Will the toils of life repay.
Onward to the prize before us!
Soon His beauty we’ll behold;
Soon the pearly gates will open;
We shall tread the streets of gold.
It's a good old toe-tappin' number, and I just thought I'd throw it out her. Some of you might want to consider having this sung at your funeral. Margie said she wanted it sung at hers, and you know Margies a good Christian lady. I can't say enough kind things about her. God bless Margie.
Madge| 10.14.10 @ 9:22AM
Margie a Christian? She's not even a lady, much less a Christian. I'll tell you what she is: She's a name-caller. She called me a "scumbag" right here on AmSpec. A scumbag! And all I had done was express a mild opinion.
You and Margie seem to have this "thing" going.
Ken (Old Texican)| 10.14.10 @ 9:26AM
I just reread my post about my funeral plans, and I dont know, I'm just feeling a little lightheaded this morning I don't know why I write that.
I'll lie down a little and see ifI dont fill a little better when i git up
Margie| 10.14.10 @ 9:27AM
Ken, call 911. You don't sound right to me. Pick up that phone and call 911 right now.
Madge| 10.14.10 @ 9:30AM
Well Good Lord! Now isn't this a drama, and carried out right here before my eyes. Sounds like to me Ken needs medical attention. You'd think Margie has his phone number.
Margie| 10.14.10 @ 9:32AM
Madge, this is a medical emergency, and I don't need any input from you. Get off this blog, and I mean get off it right now. You hear?
Annie Mae Musslewhite| 10.14.10 @ 9:36AM
Is there a moderator on this site?
Moderator, Check out Ken's email address and see if you can go by that to send the rescue squad to his house.
In the meantime I'll say a prayer.
Anybody out there know Ken personally? If you do call him to see what's the matter.
Sister Mary Elizabeth Potter| 10.14.10 @ 9:43AM
Father of goodness and love, hear our prayers for the sick members of our community and for all who are in need. Amid mental and physical suffering may they find consolation in your healing presence. Show your mercy as you close wounds, cure illness, make broken bodies whole and free downcast spirits. May these special people find lasting health and deliverance, and so join us in thanking you for all your gifts. We ask this through the Lord Jesus who healed those who believed. Amen.
Margie| 10.14.10 @ 9:50AM
Sister, I'm sure Ken appreciates your prayer, and so do I. But Ken is not Roman Catholic and neither am I. We're both Southern Baptists.
We'll just stick to the Baptist prayers ig you don't mind, but thank you anyway.
Madge| 10.14.10 @ 9:53AM
Well I've never!
Sister Mary offers a prayer, and what does Margie do? The nerve!
Anyway, I can't get poor Ken out of my mind. Hope by now someone has contacted him.
Petronius| 10.14.10 @ 9:56AM
But Ken got every word of "When We All Get To Heaven" right. I mean one minute he was making sense, although inappropriate and off topic, and the next minute his speech was kind of garbled. Put two and two together and . . .
Chris| 10.14.10 @ 10:31AM
hey folks, don't worry. "ken/margie" are the same person, mentally at least, who started this game to start another daily diatribe agaisnt catholics.
this is all she/he knows to do, a one-note bigot. expect some long "quote" now from her bible.
Ignore her, a bigot.
Madge| 10.14.10 @ 10:42AM
Chris, I am not one to judge, but I agree with you. Margie and Ken (Old Texican) are bigots.
If I just had time, I could tell you some of the shocking words that have come from Margie's mouth right here on this blog! Here's one examaple: There was a piece on Prince Charles and his environmentalist positions, and how does Margie respond?
In Margies snappy comment she says something about poor Camilla looking like a "rotweiller."
And she's always talking about her Christian beliefs! She called me a "scumbag" after I had written the mildest comment about some inane topic.
And as for (Old Texican), that man is dragging along a lot of baggage. And in that baggage there are some embarrassing tidbits, I'm sure. But he comes on as the Voice of God!
Sister Mary Elizbeth Potter| 10.14.10 @ 10:53AM
Margie,
As a devout Roman Catholic,I am sorry for offering a kind prayer for Ken without your permission. Had I known you were Southern Baptists, I would not have done this.
I have heard that the Southern Baptists do not recognize the Roman Catholic Church as being truly Christian. I regret your denomination's depiction of my faith, but I can't change it. Again, please accept my sincere apologies for interfering.
Annie Mae Musslewhite| 10.14.10 @ 11:00AM
Any word about Ken, anybody?
Madge| 10.14.10 @ 4:03PM
Oh there I go again, I'm the bigot ! Oh lordy, when will I see the light ?
Madge| 10.14.10 @ 4:10PM
OK OK I have !
Madge| 10.14.10 @ 4:14PM
OK OK I have.
Ken (Old Texican)| 10.14.10 @ 11:56AM
Sister Mary Elizabeth,
God bless! I'm OK, but may God bless you for that prayer!
See the lawsuit filed below against these forgers.
I truly hope to get a glimpse of their legal bills bye and bye.
Sister Mary Elizabeth| 10.14.10 @ 12:05PM
Ken, I know you are a wordsmith and a famous writer, but may I point out an improperly employed phrase in your above message.
Surely you mean "by and by"?
Al Adab| 10.14.10 @ 12:53PM
Wow gang.
I don't know what any of this has to do with Ahnuld, but I would remind you all that, "The prayer of the righteuous availeth much." America and we can use all the prayers we can get.
Ab Adab Adoo| 10.15.10 @ 3:22PM
Al, You haven't a prayer when it comes to learning how to spell righteous, all your attempts will availeth not much.
Maybe Ken was saying bye-bye to the Sister, even after her nun-too-soon prayer affected a miraculous recovery, stopping us in the middle of a funeral dirge.
Thanks for this hilariously entertaining thread, Ken Dolling, the M & M girls, Lil' Too Often Annie, Harry Potter's Sister, et al!
Madge| 10.14.10 @ 2:52PM
I'm sorry I said that about you Margie, i'm the unchristian womyn here. I think i'll scrouge myself for all the terrible judgements I have pronounced !
Ken (Old Texican)| 10.14.10 @ 12:45PM
Actually,
In my will is the request for this song.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v.....re=related
If that link doesn't work, go to youtube and type in "Booth Brothers" and look on the right for "Look for Me at Jesus' Feet".
Mel G.| 10.14.10 @ 1:14PM
Ken,
I listened and it brought tears to my eyes (my father would kill me if he heard this girly talk coming from me--big, bad Mel).
I'm a fan of gospel, and since all that trouble I got in, I've been writing lyrics. Here's one I'm working on now--it's called "Pray for me Now and Then," and I believe the Lord is annointing me to express myself through gospel:
Pray for Me Now and Then
I got enemies near and far
I got in a fight with a football star
Now I ride in a bulletproof car
Pray for me now and then
And Ken, here's the refrain:
Pray for me,
I've got water on my knee,
Pray for me,
I'm drinking too much Chablis,
Pray for me,
I'm a "used-to-be"
Pray for me and the Holy See,
Pray for me now and then.
Mel G.
Do you think it needs a little polishing? Let me know what you think, Old Texican.
Ken (Old Texican)| 10.14.10 @ 7:38PM
Mel,
(chuckle) try this :
Pray for Me Now and Then
I got enemies near and far..."I got in a fight I could not win"
I got in a fight with a football star..." He whipped my arse to a fare thee well."
Now I ride in a bulletproof car..."I don't have a bullet proof car."
Pray for me now and then
And Ken, here's the refrain:
Pray for me,
I've got water on my knee, " my polio killed my legs, again."
Pray for me,
I'm drinking too much Chablis, "I am so stupid to drink Chablis just because it rhymes."
Pray for me,
I'm a "used-to-be"...Know how that feels .
Pray for me and the Holy See,
Pray for me now and then....I do and I shall.
Old Texican
Mel G.
Sister Mary Elizabeth Potter| 10.14.10 @ 3:08PM
Ken,
I pray that you do not find me too . . . too pushy, but may I be so bold to suggest that you choose something more appropriate for your funeral.
Please forgive me, but I listened in agony to "Look for Me at Jesus' Feet," and I must tell you that I think this song is hidious. Tacky beyond belief. I have never heard anything more maudlin and kitchy, more sentimental and vulgar. I'm terribly sorry if I hurt your feelings.
May I suggest something a little more dignified. Have you ever heard the hymn "A Mighty Fortress"? Now this traditional hymn is more appropriate for a funeral, in my opinion.
Please forgive me if you think I am too forward. I try so hard to be humble, but sometimes . . .
Tutu| 10.14.10 @ 3:16PM
Sister Mary Elizabeth,
My apologies, please, but I must:
Kitschy is the correct spelling. You did not include the s.
The errors are coming! The errors are coming! And they're either socialists, communists, gays, or feminists, or intellectuals, or papists (sorry, Sister Mary Elizabeth, but I just felt compelled to say it). I know I am horrible. Horrible! Mea culpa, mea culpa.
Johnny Ray Haggers| 10.14.10 @ 3:28PM
Old Texican,
That song "Look for Me at Jesus' Feet" grabbed me in the guts and wouldn't let go.
I never heard anything so moving in my life. It just tore me up. Tore me slam out of my frame.
I been listening to it over and over, and I sent the link to my daughter, and I said, "Honey, when I die I won't this sung at my funeral, and then she started crying, and then I cried, and we both have been weeping and boohooing just about all afternoon. I mean it really got to us. She came over with a couple of Atavan (she's bipolar) and I've calmed down a little. But that song is a real dynamite tear-jerker. I'm fixing to listen to it again.
Alan Brooks| 10.14.10 @ 8:59PM
Californians wanted to get rid of Gray Doofus, so they got the Gropenfuhrer (as a famous cartoonist called Ahnuld)
So who says political progress really exists?
Tellthetruth| 10.16.10 @ 9:18PM
Ahnuld is a tough guy? mebbe in the movies....not! in politics! When it comes to conservatism, he's a RINO of the first order, which should explain his support of the girly man Crist.
As for Chris Christie...I love his confrontational style, but would never support him with his obvious RINO leanings in the aforementioned categories! C'mon, bring on the real conservatives!
Willis| 10.14.10 @ 7:58AM
Schwarzenegger never had street cred with true conservatives. He married a Kennedy, for heaven's sake.
canuckistani| 10.14.10 @ 10:27AM
I am starting to wonder if this "true conservative" schtick is starting to wear thin. Face it, it's a losing strategy. You get suckered election after election believing the big C slate includes bonafide disciples of a theoretical agenda, only they discover it is unworkable in modern America.
Christie has a shelf life of 18 months, and Rubio will be buried under Demint's hegemony on the fringe, beholden to a fantasy ideology. they will move to the center, because that is where America wants to be.
The writers here throw any incumbent under the bus if they don't govern with the deficient laundry list of the wacko right. Shame.
Madge| 10.14.10 @ 2:56PM
Well said cocksucker !
Madge| 10.14.10 @ 3:35PM
No, this is not me. I do not use this kind of filthy language.
Looks like the potty mouths, who have nothing to say, have logged on.
Madge| 10.14.10 @ 3:53PM
OK I do use this kind of language, but usually only after I have downed a few.
Al Adab| 10.14.10 @ 3:05PM
My goodness sir, is the Left losing control of the English language?
Perhaps a better understanding of Conservatism might be yours if you consider that the Movement promotes the search for truth, which represents the 2500 year old tradition of Western Civilization; that is seeks Liberty over materialism while in fact providing both; and that it treats persons, citizens, as unique individuals rather than members of socio-economic or class groups as the marxists define them. Positions on individual issues follow that foundation.
michigander_sandusky| 10.14.10 @ 8:25AM
"Governor Schwarzenegger has led California through extraordinarily difficult times in a bipartisan way. We have worked together on such crucial issues as reducing climate change and promoting alternative energy."
In other words, neither Arnuld or Crist accomplished a bleaping thing of any substance!
Shamus| 10.14.10 @ 8:37AM
The gubernator is a big fan of the global warming hoax perpetrated by government science whores. For this reason alone, he's a worthless specimen.
GregA| 10.14.10 @ 2:56PM
And why does he buy the global warming fraud? Because the guy doesn't read. Like every liberal, he secretes emotions rather than thought-out positions.
Ken (Old Texican)| 10.14.10 @ 8:47AM
I must ask.
How many of you heard, (saw), Arnold's speech on behalf of George W in 2000?
I must say I was deeply touched by that speech. I had such high hopes for the man. Sorta like another "mere" actor, I loved.
I don't know till this day if his speech was a lie.....or if somewhere along the way he got lost or lost a wheel.
Very very sad.

That just proves that Coulter is part of the Republican establishment. She also supported McCain in 2008.
Actually you are incorrect. Coulter said she would campaign for Hillary Clinton to John McCain.
http://politicalticker.blogs.c.....er-mccain/
Siegfried X| 10.14.10 @ 1:55PM
Once McCain (and Obama) got the nomination, Coulter reversed course and supported McCain.
Siegfried X| 10.14.10 @ 2:05PM
This is another reason that I don't trust Coulter. No real Republican would even joke about voting for a Democrat.
She is just a shock jock-ette.
Ken (Old Texican)| 10.14.10 @ 11:34AM
Well folks,
As you can see, there are nasty posts from a number of "people" above. I put "people" in quotes of course.
The only one that disturbs me is the person/s using my own sign in name....and Margie's.
I have asked the TAS group for their identities so that I can file charges on copyright infringement.
See, "Old Texican" is a copyrighted signature, and any misuse of it by unapproved person/s is not only a chargeable copyright infringement...but Heh Heh Heh... I can get the federal prosecuters to file felony charges due to forgery...because of the copyright infringement.
Then I don't even have to pay my excellent attorneys' fees.
(Please note my copyright notice at my website dated October first 2010( www.texassaidno.com )
I am truly not concerned that any of you would confuse their posts with mine of course. None of them, (or her/him), can approximate my writing skills.
Have all of you noted that there is no "there...there" in their forged posts?
...just silly jabs like little kids
Pretty cool that we have laws ain't it?
I'm glad I don't have to answer THEIR doors over the next few weeks as they are served with a summons.
Also, they probably don't want to leave mom's basement. The receipt they receive at the pizza parlor might be that summons...heh.
OK, Now back to adult conversation.
Below is an excerpt from "Texas Said No!"
February 2008
“This…’Province’ of Texas must be punished!” the Mullah pronounced as he read the “Al Jazeera” article.
He threw the newspaper down in disgust. “En ShaAllah, we shall punish this Texas in a mighty way.”
The Mullah abruptly stood and left the room and his assistant read the article that had upset his master so much. Essentially it was a report of Rasmussen Poll of Texas voters. To the question: “Should Sharia Law have any validity or standing in Texas courts?”
The result was 89% Nays…and 11% didn’t recognize the term.
The article went on to discuss a court case in this Texas, and the ensuing uproar from the Texas infidels.
*
August 19, 2010
“Master, our teams are in place and ready to attack at your command.”
The Mullah frowned as he pulled at his beard in frustration. “Ah,” he growled, “but we must not attack until after the Infidels’ elections. We have their present government in the palms of our hands. We must be patient…we must!”
The Mullah had graduated. He now had one of the tiny handful of uncensored internet connections in his country, and he was nearly apoplectic reading an article on a website. www.academia.org “Texas Textbooks Whitewash Sharia.” He wrote a: DECLARATION
“The Province of Texas is now punished. No longer will Texas steal its fortune by stealing the natural resources of the Muslim Ummah. The Great Satan shall also be punished! The blood and oil of Allah’s chosen shall no longer be poured out on the land of infidels without retribution. The Laws of Allah shall be obeyed.”
Tuesday, November 9, 2010 7:14 PM
Doctor Sam Taylor strode into the east Texas beer and bar-B- Q joint, saw his friends, and plopped down at their table. “Damn, guys. Did you guys hear Obama’s press conference with Pelosi?”

This post is to inform you that you are to immediately cease and desist the use of the moniker "Ken" as it is the sole intellectual property of the Mattel Toy Company since 1961.
If you persist in continuing to post inane ramblings under this name, we will forced to proceed with legal action against you up to including the seizure of all property having been gained by you in the years since 1961.
Simply put, the toy company thinks you are a dizzy twit.
Sincerely,

Old Texican, where is your sense of humor? You're just as pompous as I had imagined. You take yourself waaaaay to seriously. Pathetic.

Mimi, change "to" to "too."

canuckistani, too funny! You're a hoot!
Madge| 10.14.10 @ 3:01PM
your right Tutu cocksucker is funny.
Ken (Old Texican)| 10.14.10 @ 1:07PM
Tutu,
See what I mean about an absence of 'writing skills"?
Heh.
Mimi, I'm sorry. You just didn't cut the mustard.
Yes, God forgive me, I am tooooooooo pompous.
I shall probably die of it. I am now on every "extinguish at all costs" lists the communists, (pardon the shorthand), have compiled.
When, (not if), they kill me, please study their sloppy play-pretend they are me....here.
In fact, Mimi, everyone here is on a list.
Which list are you on?

People can be divided into two groups: those who can be divided into two groups and those who can't.

I am laughing my head off! This is the funniest site on the web.
Seriously, sometimes the threads on AmSpec are achingly funny. I haven't laughed so much in ages. And the play on words--Tutu and to and too. And the thread regarding Ken's crisis.
I am telling people where to go if they want the best humor on the web. It's American Spectator, folks.
I just read Mel G.s gospel Song. It's a scream!
But somebody's got too much time on their hands to come up with these howlers. But at least they are not using profanities.

Welcome on board the crazy train.
Ken quotes old baptist devotionals, I'll quote the OZ:
Crazy, but that's how it goes
Millions of people living as foes
Maybe it's not too late
To learn how to love
And forget how to hate
Mental wounds not healing
Life's a bitter shame
I'm going off the rails on a crazy train
I'm going off the rails on a crazy train
Let's Go!
I've listened to preachers
I've listened to fools
I've watched all the dropouts
Who make their own rules
One person conditioned to rule and control
The media sells it and you live the role
Mental wounds still screaming
Driving me insane
I'm going off the rails on a crazy train
I'm going off the rails on a crazy train
I know that things are going wrong for me
You gotta listen to my words
Yeah
Heirs of a cold war
That's what we've become
Inheriting troubles I'm mentally numb
Crazy, I just cannot bear
I'm living with something' that just isn't fair
Mental wounds not healing
Who and what's to blame
I'm going off the rails on a crazy train
I'm going off the rails on a crazy train

And my favorite that sums this group of blamers and finger pointers when the crazy train goes off the rails like today:
Higgins: No. It's simple economics. Today it's oil, right? In ten or fifteen years, food. Plutonium. And maybe even sooner. Now, what do you think the people are gonna want us to do then?
Turner: Ask them.
Higgins: Not now — then! Ask 'em when they're running out. Ask 'em when there's no heat in their homes and they're cold. Ask 'em when their engines stop. Ask 'em when people who have never known hunger start going hungry. You wanna know something? They won't want us to ask 'em. They'll just want us to get it for 'em!
Madge| 10.14.10 @ 3:04PM
Your'e right cocksucker ! Keep it coming. I would bend over for you, but you know, your handle.
Johnson Johnson| 10.14.10 @ 3:33PM
As Madge always said, 'Palmolive Dishwashing Liquid...softens your hands while you do the dishes'.
Madge| 10.14.10 @ 3:37PM
Not me .Is there no moderator on this blog?
Posters should not be allowed to use profanities and obscenities.
Madge| 10.14.10 @ 3:45PM
Oh there I go again, it was me. I'm whipping myself as I type.
Madge| 10.16.10 @ 6:28PM
Madge is the moderator on this blog.

To easily refute the New Church of the Man Made Global Warming - Al Gore - Pope.. ask any of its diciples a question prefaced with: "An Eon is Geological Measurement of Time reflecting at least two periods.. say.. Jerasic and... whatever followed that... would you agree the Jerasic Period extended... say... 50 Million Years? In that 50 Million Years... how many times would you say the Earth Warmed and Cooled all by itself before Man ever arrived? 1? 100? 1000? 100000? Then ask... How'd that happen?
Reality Man| 10.14.10 @ 12:48PM
SOBER UP! The question is "would we have been better off under McCain?" I thought so and held my nose and voted for him. It's debateable. Schwazeneger? I don't know what happened. Too many steroids? Even with the Gubenator at his back it's still made of Linguine.

Does Arnold's endorsment really help Crist? Arnold has been, hands down, the worst Calif. governor in memory -- worst than Jerry Brown; worst than Gray Davis. I voted for the big oaf in the recall election. To quote Arnold from his movies: "Big mistake." We'd be done with Gray Davis by now. Instead, we still have Arnold for a few more months, and he's proven to be visionless and without convictions, thereby making him the worst "leader" Calif. has ever had.
Shamus| 10.14.10 @ 3:37PM
Arnold is an actor of great statue. His talents run the gamut from A to B.

Leave this site for five minutes and the whole blog takes a serious left or right turn, and then stomped on the throttle all the way to the floor.

Dear AmSpec webmasters:
At what point do these falsifiers, users of others monikers, become guilty of identity theft?
Perhaps a warning and something they might wish to keep in mind.

WEBMASTER:
PLEASE DELETE COMMENTS THAT CONTAIN PROFANITIES AND OBSCENITIES.

Ahnold's 'endorsement' is more like a curse.
Neither of his two possible successors, Whitman, who shares his party, nor Brown, with whom he's more akin to politically, solicited or wanted his 'endorsement'.
That Ahnold offered and Crist accepted his endorsement simply shows how politically desperate they both are and that the salient message of this election year is that principled, grassroot, voting republicans are sick of these type of pathetic RINO GOP party crashers and are driving each of them out of office wherever possible.
Lisa Murkowski will be joining them very soon.
As to Ahnold going back to the movies, what's his draw and who would pay? Hasta la vista, Ahnold/Crist.
