Um, it seems that would ultimately be all of Congress and the Executive
branch, or at least a good bit of the upper echelon...of course, that
does leave their employers to deal with, and that's gonna require quite
a few lampposts and a lot more Pennsylvania Avenue. Maybe they could
sneak the funding onto a environmental bill or something.

TC,

I think the responsible parties for leading the whole sorry parade could be
limited to a dozen or two, if lampposts were in short supply. No need for
excess pork in the budgetg


Leading it? I'd offer that it be a bit more than a dozen or two, but
IAC, it wouldn't be much of a parade if were just the Grand Marshal and
the Drum Major(ette). It may take just two to tango, but it takes a
bunch of bigassed balloons and stuff to make a parade.


p.s. Note that I did state the caveat, "in a fair and just world", for
the record, assuming neither to be the case, in reality......


And in a fair and just world, they'd be no wars...those requiring
lampposts or otherwise...

OK. Let's say, arguendo, that you're the arbiter who is a ****wit or
not, and it's all up to you and only you. Just what is YOUR solution
and why?


Solution: Immediately begin the withdrawal of our troops with all
practical speed, as Rep. Murtha suggests.


But apparently, Murtha was not so for it as to vote for it

well, after his proposal(which entails several other steps after a
withdrawal,with troops in Kuwait, etc) was *******ized into a blanket
statement along the lines of "Leave Now", with nothing added, I wouldn't
imagine he would be for it. Face it,
that vote was nothing but BS politics, I don't care what side of the aisle
you see it from......


As I've already said, it was a stunt, just as Murtha's "plan" was a
stunt.

as Tom Osborne put it(he is a Repub, right?)
"We can do better than this".


Of course, things could be handled better with regard to Iraq. And to
recall the punchline of an old joke, what's with this "we" ****,
Kemosabe?. Seriously, though, such a statement is just another cliche -
who is this "we" and just how could "we" (they?) do things "better?"

That whole last couple days of the
Congressional session cemented the reasons why most of the public ranks
those bozos behind the bozos at the White House.


If it has taken until the last couple of days to cement for the majority
of the public that at least some of those in Congress, on both sides of
the aisle, and at least some of those at the White House are bozos, I
can think of no better argument that the Founding Fathers were
absolutely right in their opinions of the majority of the
public...they're a bunch of bozos...

Yep, you're a leftwing limo-pseudoliberal alright - someone hands you a
cheap bit of sugary dough and you believe what it says...

I'd rather not say, but I do.


And it has never occurred to you that someone who HASN'T spent a lifetime on
welfare might also rather not say?

who really has a hard time understanding why so few express their gratitude
to roff's outstanding collection of clowns.

My retirement pay must really bug the **** out of you. Good.

And just think, the two Franks also have their retirement. It must
suck to be jealous all the time. Have you ever thought of working
instead of spending all day on the internet with your foolishness?

Eighteen hundred a month, plus fifteen hundred from SS. Ain't it
grand, Wolfgang. Hahahahahahahahahaha

Stay ****ed. I like you better that way.

How on earth can you afford Alaska, Russia etc. on less than
$40k a year ? Hell, that wouldn't even keep me in Budweiser
much less Laphroaig. What'd you do, buy Xerox stock in the
late '50's or something ?
