Letterman’s joke was fine — Palin sort of tried to exploit it. May be she was going through some sh!t and her repeated assertion that the joke was about her second daughter was nutty.

I seriously hope that nothing serious turns out — except that Palin is an id!ot. I wouldn’t wish bad things even on a Bambi killer.

How times have changed. After ’04, it seemed like the dems were done for good. Now, the GOP is facing oblivion. They need someone real good. Don’t see anyone on the horizon.

“gs. Cherokee County, home to about 54,000 people, had just six homicides in all of 2008″

It strikes me that this is a very high number for a rural area — just shy of 12 per 100,000 population.

Does it strike anyone else that way?

-review the situation of Argentine economic crisis (1999–2002).
we may be heading that way (ballpark sort a speak).
kettle1 has a great documentary of the situation, he sometimes posts the link to it. You should give it a look see.

” We’ve now got to kill off a significant amount of people”

-thats what I am afraid of and hence why I added it to rain4grains list. I suspect it would be in that form to create a war.

sadly, i think it may be in the cards for the future.
I hope I”m wrong.

I got grandkids that I worry about everyday, and its the only reason i get my pithetic tail up everyday and goto work and put a smile on my face.

speaking of following money…

some hedge funds are setting cap & trade transactions on the Chicago Climate Exchange to support money laundering services used by investors in the drug trade. (Airborne Internet)

some of that money then trickles to campaign donations and media spin (to take the focus away from A and place it onto B, even when B may not exist at all, joe 6 pack will never know).

now, let me get back on my turnip truck. I just took a mighty fall.

No more bubbles. We’ve now got to kill off a significant amount of people- both here and abroad- simply to recapture our former dominance.

First, we must destroy enough manufacturing capability outside the US to be able to assert a monopolistic hegemony post-victory.

Second, we need to kill off enough of our own to pare the population down to an adequate size to be able to thrive in a world of long-term diminishing growth.

What if the first sector to get itchy about rioting happens to be the public sector?

They have numbers, they have muscle, and they have a lot that’s been promised to them that is completely unfunded.

You can’t expect J6P to get out and riot because he’s underemployed. You can, however, imagine a 48 y/o retiring cop or fireman both having the energy and the know-how to unleash all kinds of whoop-ass in an urban combat environment.

Welcome to NJ.

i ain’t a fan of Palin, but I do think that Letterman egghead crossed the line with jokes about her daughter.

But if you’re bored:

Has Palin made a series of trips to SOUTH America lately? Maybe she has a gaucho pal.

i would add, create a class war, onto your list.
easily done, been done in the past, and will be done again.

” there’s a new bubble right around the corner”

SAS
