Play nice!
I see you.
What a cute pic. Did you intend for it to try and offset the aggravation caused by the stories you linked to?
My stimulus check has still not arrived in the mail. Does anyone know who to call when they get lost? I have a clunky garbage disposal that needs greened up. Maybe if I wait, they will fund a program for that too.

My primary transportation gets 45mpg. Can I get a bit of that stimulus?
Oh wait, it isn’t for common folks. Us common folks are the ones that foot the bill so the rich liberals get richer.

If it helps, then yes.
Early version of Fauxtography uncovered?
As long as it is a linky thread:
AIDS group in CA wants OSHA to mandate condoms in the porn industry.
No, really, that’s what they’re complaining about. Double Digit unemployment and a woefully overspent government, but they still have time to whine and seethe about condoms in porn.
re: #7 by LanceKates
Thats stupid. Nobody will even watch porn if they use condoms!!!
Lutheran gay clergy vote tests mainline churches
Their attitude seems to be “What’s a few more trillion here or there?” They don’t have to pay for it and I’m sure they will be comfortable for the rest of their lives.

Yeah, that’s the ELCA. They are to lutherans what LGF 1.0 is to blogs.
re: #9 by mjazz
This debt plan is only genius if they plan to make our dollar worthless, not back it up and nationalize all foreign investments just like Chavez. It’ll shaft the Chinese. In that case buy gold now!
Charles must have let in a few Sarah Palin supporters..and they kicked his ass on the Krauthammer post.

cj is a fine recruiter for 2.0.
he is doing a smashing job!
re: #13 by coldwarrior
Indeed he is.
Oh and a big shout out to Irish Rose, since she’s watching us…
Hey!
Found some actual good news coming out of the Obama administration, at least as far as energy security goes: US Allows Alberta Clipper Pipeline.
This 1590 km-long pipeline will connect Hardisty AB with Superior WI and is supposed to come on line by next year. The pipeline will eventually provide 800,000 barrels of oil a day of non-OPEC crude to the American market. Considering that Obama approved it in the face of hysterical opposition from environmentalists, this is a rare instance of common sense prevailing in 2009 Washington.
re: #14 by savage
I agree, without the help of the Rose I would have never found this site.

That is a cute photo. If you liked that one, you will probably like the squirrel photo on this page:

Hello!
Yeah we owe CJ and Paula a check!
Actually Paula gets a monthly check anyway!
re: #19 by Rodan
If I had my way, that check would be cancelled
This is scary!

re: #20 by savage
I agree, she’s a leech on society like all these welfare bums. I clocked in 55 Hours this week, so I support these bums.
She’s really irelevant. like Charles.
I’m focused on the Progressive movement.
re: #22 by Rodan
Well, I end up with 60 to 70 a week so dont feel too bad.
re: #23 by savage
I can’t complain, I have a job unlike others who unfortunently don’t have and can’t find.
I know some unemployed people, I really feel bad for them.
This is bad!

Nevada’s unemployment rose to 12.5 percent in July, while joblessness in especially hard-hit Las Vegas surged to 13.1 percent. It’s the highest jobless rate both statewide and locally since the state began tracking data in 1976.

re: #36 by davehm
So true.
re: #25 by Rodan
These days people don’t have to go to Vegas to gamble or get screwed. The left wants to bring it right to our homes with obamacare.

One again, we have a pissing match going on, and once again, people want to continue it from thread to thread.
No matter how many times I point out that the vast majority of readers are very turned off by the pointless back and forth bickering, it keeps happening.
Knock it off please, and chill out. Don’t make me start blocking accounts.

Oh shoot, someone is going to have to tell Irish rose this guy says Islamist and means every man, woman & child that identifies as a muslim, so she can properly chastise him.
Thank goodness our president prefers “empathy” rather than “compassion”.
Some REALLY good news here!

re: #50 by tunnelrat
As much as we enjoy it, especially on holidays, I told my husband he is not to purchase any single malt or Scotch.
re: #45 by Rodan
Like Muslims, when they get rid of everyone else they start eating their own.

I love a good single malt too. May need to find a different drink in the future….

No way, no how.
Hell, she claims we’re “out to get her” in meatspace.

re: #75 by m
maybe it is their job to play on the interwebs at the lgf blog…i mean, they could be paid monitors…ya know,like hired flunkies…just thinkin outloud…
I’ve been reading lgf-1 for a while now and never tried to register “didn’t want to” and what i saw was a few causing the others to tow the line or be banded because they piled up on the person or turned them in to “cj”.
re: #79 by nobody
It used to be a great site, but not anymore. One might as well read The Daily Kos of Huffington Post.
re: #80 by song_and_dance_man
This is turning out to be a great site…you can say the “J” word and not get banned
re: #81 by davehm
Yes it is. We here go through highs and lows, but the highs – that is the level of commenters – has steadily increased. And as some have observed, me included, the ‘inside your head’ paranoia of 1.0 is a welcomed ad campaign.
1.0 is our best market demographic stomping ground for new blood.
Good evening, y’all!

Of course vegas is suffering, Congress has warned big companies to not go to vegas for meetings or they’ll publish it all as bad press to punish them for being successful.
