the Killings in Ft Hood yesterday made me remember the Granade in the Officers Barracks in Iraq a few years ago. Anyone know what happened to that guy?
Since our last 4 presidednts were from the Viet Nam era amd the previous ones were from WWII, i suppose our Korean Era vets won't ever have a presidential candidate from thier ranks.
The forgotten war indeed.

Then there are the unproductives that don't work but just stay on welfare forever…they enable this Whitehouse-organized terror…their Sorosian Maoist Coup continues with the complete protection of the Secret Service, FBI, CIA and the Armed Forces. Obama will be promoting Muslims like this shooter in the near future. Chiggers like this muslim shooter will be the generals losing the war on terror…according to Ma'OBama's Plan. purge. \\
the murderers within?…they're muslims…like the one elected to the whitehouse that lied and now wants to Cloward & Piven America. Where's the FBI when you need them? What about all the muzzie training camps and jihadji mosques here…traing terrorists…hellooooooooooo yea they are in the military, too…hellooooooooo…just like surrenaCrats, they attack and destroy patriots and then claim they were victims that just had to kill 13 and destroy over 30 more lives…and families…no, this was a mole…islamofascists within…
Since Maine just overturned thier gay marriage law, are people going to attack the Mormons over that too? Or is that one to quiet and out of the spotlight?
Johnny was a little before my time. I must admit my favorite Tarzan was Gordon Scott. I'm still hoping for a DVD of the movie where Sean Connery had a role (can't remember it's name off the top of my head.).
Is everybody as sick as I am of this drum mantra of fear mongering, over the incivility and violence 'potential' of the tea party protesters?
All the actual physical violence and general childish lack of civility, since the Obama election, has been from people on the other side of the street.
- Sending black panthers to intimidate the elderly at voting centers.
- Leaving heaps of trash at the inauguration party, while tea party protesters
protesters clean up after themselves.
- Beating up black conservatives, giving out buttons and flags, at town hall meetings.
- Biting fingers off of conservative protesters.
- Trashing their own campaign offices, and blaming it on conservatives.
- Sending union thugs to the private homes of corporate executives.
- Creating public disturbances and shouting racist comments at the
police officer called to the scene.
- Advising young people, who are under cover, to cheat and lie to get government money.
Admitting to felony behavior, to same young people.
- Openly violating federal law, by politicking in the classroom.
- Locking their political opposition out of committee offices and fiddling with legislation behind closed doors.
- Throwing ugly temper tantrums on the House floor, then running away from the only reporters engaging in real journalism.
- Firing bullets into Lou Dobbs house.
- Beating each other up in newspaper offices, like WaPo.
- Shoving reams of landscape changing legislation through the process, on false emergency pretenses, without so much as the courtesy of 72 hours of public review.
etc. etc. etc.
All these celebrities just keep on celebrating, by flaunting their 'stuck-on-stupid' behavior, with teabagger sniping and morbid gruesome ignorance. They just continue to tirelessly bleat on and on, with whining pretention.
It was that salamanders fault, or is it too cold for a dude in a sparkly thong while wearing a nun's habit crying he does'nt have a right to wear a mini dress while his partner wears a assless chaps tux in a church, .

Johnny Wiessmuller. Man, my grandmother loved him. We watched Tarzan every Sunday.

California Mormons made for a perfect minority scapegoat. In the Pine Tree State, they'll have to try to villify "crusty, old Yankees" — politically, a dangerous argument to make, since that describes most of the state's population. Even the antique dealers are crusty, old Yankees.
George H. W. Bush was a naval aviator in WW2 and Obama is too young to qualify for the Vietnam era. But you are right, I don´t think Korean war vets will have their candidate.
Unless Charlie Rangel wants to run for the highest office. Just kidding!
This would make a perfect skit , watered down, of course, for late night TV or SNL. Hollywood, have your people call my people.

If "Tarzan" were made today, Tarzan would speak with an impecible British accent, be an enviromentalist, the chimp would be an advocate for PETA, Jane would be a NOW member and look like one, the natives would all be peace loving and throwing off the scourge of Euro-trash oppressors.
dragonash - November 6th, 2009 at 1:17 pm
I'm suprised Obamasky hasn't blamed America yet for this. Give him time, give him time.
Is John or any of the other regulars going to review The Men Who Stare at Goats? I appreciate the earlier Big-Hollywood review, but I'd like to hear a second opinion before deciding on whether to see a movie that looks halfway funny in a Lebowski sort of way, but still sets off mental alarms because it's Clooney, playing a soldier, in the Middle East.
Mr. Wiesmuller gave me one romantic line that my wife dearly loves. We even put the main word on our wedding rings – Always.
Cannot remember which time, because Maureen was always messing up, but before she messed up this time, she gave Tarzan something (watch chain, leather strap) something to remember her by and that she'd always be with him. Well, she messes, up, he has to save her, and in the derring-do the thing comes off his arm.
He tells her "Always gone."
It struck me. When I met the girl I married. I told her it was for "Always"
She thought that was one of the most romantic things a guy could ever say.
So thanks Johnny!

The Oprah must have really rotten ratings! I heard she is moving her show to a cable network. Ha, are the White women finally waking up!?!
Sarah Palin will handle the Oprah, I have no doubt. After all, the Oprah is having Palin on due to Oprah's falling ratings. Forced to beg Palin on her show to bring in viewers!
Ok, I have a legitimate question about Johnny W there…Did he have some African blood in him? I'm just curious because of his features. And no I'm not being racist I'm just really curious if anybody knows if he did or not.
At his Lighthearted Indian Affairs Press confrence yesterday Obama says "I see here Dr Joe Medicine Crow Congressional Medal of Honor winner". I'm sure Dr. Crow is a fine man but he actually won the Presidential Medal of Freedom a civilian honor for ones good deeds.
Someone should point out to Mr Obama the Congressional Medal of Honor is a Military award and most of those recieving it died earning it.
My God we have a President who does not even know what Conresssional Medal of Honor is for.
I don't need anymore reason to dislike Mr Obama but the hits just keep on coming.

Great thing about JW as TARZAN was if you came to his jungle and tried to screw with people and disturb the peace, he would kick your ass. He didn't care if you were some black tribal leader or some greedy English man in fancy jungle duds. If you began to screw with people, you were a marked man and your death was usually unpleasant.
JW as TARZAN for President!
Also – he was an Olympic swimmer back in the '32 event, IIRC.
When he got older and huskier and the TARZAN films ended for him, he became JUNGLE JIM, who wore rugged style clothing. I think he was a jungle guide or ranger or something in those films. (Never saw them)
He had a tumultuous marriage to the "Mexican Spitfire", Lupe Velez that became the subject of much jocular commentary since they were always getting into public spats.
"Me TARZAN! You Jane!" was a long time catch phrase in America.
NutsnBolts - November 6th, 2009 at 4:14 pm
I agree with MacArthur. We might have had to use a nuke on the yellow army, but if we had we would probably have saved 30 million people from death at the hands of Mao in the next ten years, would certainly have made Moscow think twice about invading Hungary and later Czechoslovakia, would have had a different situation in Viet Nam, and would have saved the North Koreans and a hundred million others from totalitarian domination. Truman made at least one good decision (in '45), but he had been unprepared for international affairs, and so his foreign policy was reactionary and defensive. And he taught us (and his party has ever since made it dogma) that we can never actually win.
NutsnBolts - November 6th, 2009 at 4:25 pm
He'll be a visiting professor in Harvard's new Islamic Studies Dept… Not sure if that will be under Law or Government…
The Doctor - November 6th, 2009 at 4:33 pm
On a Tarzan kick lately? First Maureen, now Johnny…
An interesting trait of the modern liberal is you can always tell what they're thinking (and usually doing) by simply listening to what the accuse their opponents of doing.
For example, democrats accuse republicans of cutting taxes for the rich because they hate the poor and want them to suffer. Enter the current administrations cabinet full of tax cheats.
Another stunning example is the parade of left wing hacks to the political talk shows. What are they saying? The GOP is forcing moderates out of the party. Does Joe Liberman ring any bells? Watch what happens to the blue dog democrats this year, leading up to the 2010 mid terms. There is a party going through a civil war, but its not the GOP, its the democrats.
If he isn't blaming America its because he's busy blaming Bush.
T-Rav - November 6th, 2009 at 4:39 pm
I was glad to find out that I wasn't the only one really bothered by the brush-off he gave the massacre yesterday at that function or whatever it was. I thought it was in bad taste from the beginning but also that I might just be overreacting, so best not to get too worked up. Happy to find out I was wrong.
Sans politics, Clooney isn't a bad actor. I loved Brother Where Art Thou.
I don't have a problem with actors or artists who are political. I don't have a problem with their politics differing from mine.
When they start calling me an idiot because I can't see how smart they are, because if I did I would agree with them, then I start having a real problem.
Back in the day kids would line up on saturdays and for a dime you could see a Tarzan movie, with JW as Tarzan, Buck Rodgers serial episode, a cartoon and have someone in the upper balcony dump his
coke down on your head. Those were the days. Just began dating or grades schools version of dating where the girls knew that a date meant she didn't have to come up with a dime for a ticket so dates were as easy as they were ever going to get for me. Of course if you didn't have an extra dime and the girl like you enough she would meet you on the inside. I am ancient of course but those days were fun.
Good question, and thought of the exact same thing myself, when I first heard this story as it was developing. My guess is he is in a jail somewhere getting three hots & a cot.
"Let each citizen remember at the moment he is offering his vote that he is not making a present or a compliment to please an individual — or at least that he ought not so to do; but that he is executing one of the most solemn trusts in human society for which he is accountable to God and his country." –Samuel Adams
Blame it on Bush
He is the cause of global warming and the swine flu and the Iranians having nukes and I heard he might have had a hand in Michal Jacksons death
All gay grievances have just got to be his fault also
He can blame anyone he wants but it ain't gonna fly
He is the Commander in Chief and he is responsible for all branches of the armed services
The right thing for Obama to do now is resign

Shooter advised Obama transition
Fort Hood triggerman aided team on Homeland Security task force
NEW YORK – Maj. Nidal Malik Hasan, the alleged shooter in yesterday's massacre at Fort Hood, played a homeland security advisory role in President Barack Obama's transition into the White House, according to a key university policy institute document. http://www.wnd.com/?pageId=115230
Orlando office building gunman on the loose
ORLANDO, Fla. (AP) – Police are searching for a gunman who injured at least eight people at a downtown Orlando, Fla., office building.
People are streaming out of the building and some say they have barricaded themselves inside their offices.
Orange County Sheriff's Spokesman Jim Solomons says his department is backing up Orlando police and they're still looking for an armed man wearing a light blue polo shirt and jeans. http://www.breitbart.com/article.php?id=D9BQ6CD81...

Not sure what his ultimate fate may be, but Akubah (I refuse to use his underserved rank when referring to him) has stupidly put himself under the "forgiving" auspices of the U.C.M.J., not our civilian court system.

One of my friends is in the Mongols biker club and the feds about two years ago declared their name illegal; they said it was affiliated with organized crime. The Mongols ignored the order and were constantly harassed by the feds who would pull them over and take their leathers. The Mongols sued. Last week the Supreme Court heard the case and ruled in favor of the Mongols.
I'm surprised the demented black robed tyrants that voted in favor of unbridled eminent domain and that CO2 is a pollutant would get this one right.
don't understand OBAMA'S agenda yet people? NEED PROOF?
Anti-Jesus PRO-ALLAH Judge David Hamilton Will Get Senate Vote
The Washington Times just reported "a move seems to be afoot" in the Senate to allow a debate and full Senate vote on whether President Obama's Anti-Jesus Judge David Hamilton should be confirmed to the 7th Circuit Court of Appeals. You may remember him as the Judge who ruled it's illegal to pray "in Jesus name" but totally legal to pray to Allah on the floor of the Indiana Legislature. His foolish ruling in Hinrichs v. Bosma was overturned (thanks in part to our legal aid to the Indiana Attorney General). He also ruled to hasten the abortion of unborn children, but that bad ruling was also overturned. Now Obama wants to reward Hamilton's anti-life anti-Jesus prejudice with promotion to the same appeals court that overruled him.
That's what you get when you spend your college years blending race studies, social justice and law for implementing both.
Not a lot of time left over for things like history, though I'm not sure how much help that would be when taught by a Harvard professor.
Me, I took calculus, physics, engineering, circuit analysis, computer programming, and still managed to find time to squeeze in some sociology, economics and history.
So I can state with 100% accuracy there are only 50 states.
That's a bit before my time, but close enough. I remember being dumped off at the theater with my brother and sisters, with enough money to get in and buy some candy, and we'd just stay there all day. We'd hide when they cleared the theater between viewings, then just watch the same movie again and again.

Ditto! Ron Ely is the Man! Also, Doc Savage. Maybe he will get an Open Thread photo op.
He's no moron. He's simply playing to the moron voters in his district.
It's a common misconception of the right that those on the left are idiots. A lot of the voters are, but not the ones running the liberal circus. Remember, they're on the verge of what passes for legally stealing 1/6 of the American economy.
Do not underestimate the intelligence of this running the left.
I believe that was part of being a parent in those days, a cheap babysitter it was. the better part of a double feature on saturday could take all of 3 or almost 4 hours, you double that and the parents could get caught up on their togetherness for the week. Nowadays, is the really suppose to be one word?
with the multiplexes you can sneak between several movies if you are slick enough and not have to bear
repeats.
ataway, Mark! That's the one. I seem to remember the last scene where Tarzan had been hooked by slade with a wire noose and choker attached to a pole at the edge of a great cliff. Of course, the ape man successfully got it off and sent Slade off the cliffto his doom. Then there was also a great sequence involving quicksand as I recall where in the end there was just a hand with a lockett sticking out of the mire. Those were the days.
NEW ORLEANS — Investigators with the Louisiana Attorney General's Office raided the New Orleans ACORN office Friday in connection with embezzlement and tax fraud allegations.
Assistant Attorney General David Caldwell said the office got a tip that some employee computers may be missing. Investigators executed a search warrant and hauled off laptops and hard drives to make copies of information stored on the computers. http://www.wdsu.com/news/21542857/detail.html

You missed the loving and just citizens who stormed Lieberman's office yesterday demanding their free handouts. Meanwhile the mobs roamed the halls asking for their congress to read and consider the bill before voting. Crazy, out of control bastardos.
They do, but according to the news they haven't carried out an execution in almost 50 years, and they probably won't now, so that this may be turned over to the civilian authorities. Personally, I don't mind if it's a court-martial, a civil criminal court, or a good old-fashioned lynching, I just want the @#?&! dead.
I would be interested to know if Hasan targeted some of his victims based upon his work with them as their psychiatrist. Perhaps he didn't like their opinions and viewpoints of the war. Or maybe their actions in the war. I read that one of his problems in the past had been arguing with soldiers in his care. Also, I read that he had targeted some specific persons. When the heroic cop arrived on the scene, Hasan was said to have been chasing a soldier outside and firing at him. If that were the case, it would indeed be the lowest of the already low – using an injured and/or traumatized soldier's therapy against him/her.

Obama lectures America, "Not to jump to any conclusions" about murderer at Fort Hood. The single greatest act of muslim islamic domestic terrorism since 9/11.
I'm talking about announcing a Presidential address to the nation about the Fort Hood tragedy and beginning with a status report of meetings and a shout out.
I would expect the person residing in the Oval Office would have a better understanding of circumstances.
One of the wounded soldiers was from a town about 40 miles from where I live, its part of the region. He was shot trying to protect a wounded fellow soldier. According to the paper this morning, its quite severe, but he's stable.
Yes, my point exactly. Lt. Frank Drebin (you know, from the Naked Gun movies) would have done the same thing – completely tone deaf.
One thing in Obama´s defense: the fake "feel your pain" and "let´s all start healing together" rhetoric that Bill Clinton would have used is even worse. Obama comes across as indifferent – just the way he is, imho – but at least he is giving the jihadis nothing to gloat about. I think Bush would have done better than both of them.
My mistake, I should never try to speed read without taking the proper course work.
I thought you meant Joe Friday. My bad.
Yes, from what I've read, it was a preplanned event concerning some summit or another, his cracker jack media team decided to invite the entire press, and told them it was an address about the Ft. Hood incident. Talk about amateurs.
You would think the media people behind the biggest PR scam in the history of the free world would have made sure their replacements (before returning to Hollywood) would be sufficiently competent to handle the day to day task of presidency.
As for the local resident who was shot at Ft. Hood, Michael Cooke, was shot three times in the back, while protecting a fellow soldier who had been wounded in the head. He's in critical but stable condition. If you're a religious person, please pray for him, if not, please hope for him.
He represents what I see as the best in Americans, willing to give their own lives for the protection of others. God bless them.

I know there's not a lot to laugh about today but Michelle Obama is giving me a laugh.
Michelle Obama is to be the first presidential wife to appear on a reality TV series
Michelle Obama will be appearing on Iron Chef, but I discovered that isn't the only reality show she'll be on.

I thought Korea was a police action, strange my dad agreed with Gen. Mac on what needed to be done, a crossroad missed, ah politics and bedfellows.

On a Tarzan kick lately? First Maureen, now Johnny…
Blame it on the lobsters.
An interesting trait of the modern liberal is you can always tell what they're thinking (and usually doing) by simply listening to what the accuse their opponents of doing.
For example, democrats accuse republicans of cutting taxes for the rich because they hate the poor and want them to suffer. Enter the current administrations cabinet full of tax cheats.
Another stunning example is the parade of left wing hacks to the political talk shows. What are they saying? The GOP is forcing moderates out of the party. Does Joe Liberman ring any bells? Watch what happens to the blue dog democrats this year, leading up to the 2010 mid terms. There is a party going through a civil war, but its not the GOP, its the democrats.
If he isn't blaming America its because he's busy blaming Bush.
I was glad to find out that I wasn't the only one really bothered by the brush-off he gave the massacre yesterday at that function or whatever it was. I thought it was in bad taste from the beginning but also that I might just be overreacting, so best not to get too worked up. Happy to find out I was wrong.
Sans politics, Clooney isn't a bad actor. I loved Brother Where Art Thou.
I don't have a problem with actors or artists who are political. I don't have a problem with their politics differing from mine.
When they start calling me an idiot because I can't see how smart they are, because if I did I would agree with them, then I start having a real problem.
Back in the day kids would line up on saturdays and for a dime you could see a Tarzan movie, with JW as Tarzan, Buck Rodgers serial episode, a cartoon and have someone in the upper balcony dump his
coke down on your head. Those were the days. Just began dating or grades schools version of dating where the girls knew that a date meant she didn't have to come up with a dime for a ticket so dates were as easy as they were ever going to get for me. Of course if you didn't have an extra dime and the girl like you enough she would meet you on the inside. I am ancient of course but those days were fun.
Good question, and thought of the exact same thing myself, when I first heard this story as it was developing. My guess is he is in a jail somewhere getting three hots & a cot.
That's a good one obamashuga!! I especially like the daggers she shoots French First Lady Carla Bruni.
Ron Ely was my introduction to Tarzan.
Great post! Agree 100%
After he sits in the "hot seat!!!"
The blaming is soon to follow. Stay tuned!!!
Carol Burnett has the greatest Tarzan yell ever!
"Let each citizen remember at the moment he is offering his vote that he is not making a present or a compliment to please an individual — or at least that he ought not so to do; but that he is executing one of the most solemn trusts in human society for which he is accountable to God and his country." –Samuel Adams
Blame it on Bush
He is the cause of global warming and the swine flu and the Iranians having nukes and I heard he might have had a hand in Michal Jacksons death
All gay grievances have just got to be his fault also
He can blame anyone he wants but it ain't gonna fly
He is the Commander in Chief and he is responsible for all branches of the armed services
The right thing for Obama to do now is resign
This moron congressman Grayson in Florida needs to to be removed,he is a nutcase, his mental state should have been vetted.His condesention with O'Reillys Griff Jenkins says it all! I would like to see some signage at the Teabagger rallys with his face on a sign!

Orlando office building gunman on the loose
ORLANDO, Fla. (AP) – Police are searching for a gunman who injured at least eight people at a downtown Orlando, Fla., office building.
People are streaming out of the building and some say they have barricaded themselves inside their offices.
Orange County Sheriff's Spokesman Jim Solomons says his department is backing up Orlando police and they're still looking for an armed man wearing a light blue polo shirt and jeans.

Breaking: Hoyer admits Dems don’t have the votes for Pelosi Plan
The answer to the big question surrounding Nancy Pelosi’s scheduling of the ObamaCare vote this weekend has been answered. She didn’t schedule it for Saturday because she had the votes — and now Steny Hoyer has admitted as much this morning:

It's called psychological projection, and they are certainly guilty of it, to a fault.
Not sure what his ultimate fate may be, but Akubah (I refuse to use his underserved rank when referring to him) has stupidly put himself under the "forgiving" auspices of the U.C.M.J., not our civilian court system.
Barring any foolish interfering from the pretender-in-chief, he's in for a bumpy ride.

I think the military still has capital punishment.

If I remember correctly, the original novels had Tarzan speaking fluent English. The rest of your assesment is spot-on.

A win for the "good" guys……………..
One of my friends is in the Mongols biker club and the feds about two years ago declared their name illegal; they said it was affiliated with organized crime. The Mongols ignored the order and were constantly harassed by the feds who would pull them over and take their leathers. The Mongols sued. Last week the Supreme Court heard the case and ruled in favor of the Mongols.
I'm surprised the demented black robed tyrants that voted in favor of unbridled eminent domain and that CO2 is a pollutant would get this one right.
Johnny Wiessmuller was an Olympic class swimmer, in addition to playing Tarzan.
don't understand OBAMA'S agenda yet people? NEED PROOF?
Anti-Jesus PRO-ALLAH Judge David Hamilton Will Get Senate Vote
The Washington Times just reported "a move seems to be afoot" in the Senate to allow a debate and full Senate vote on whether President Obama's Anti-Jesus Judge David Hamilton should be confirmed to the 7th Circuit Court of Appeals. You may remember him as the Judge who ruled it's illegal to pray "in Jesus name" but totally legal to pray to Allah on the floor of the Indiana Legislature. His foolish ruling in Hinrichs v. Bosma was overturned (thanks in part to our legal aid to the Indiana Attorney General). He also ruled to hasten the abortion of unborn children, but that bad ruling was also overturned. Now Obama wants to reward Hamilton's anti-life anti-Jesus prejudice with promotion to the same appeals court that overruled him.
TGIF !
he'll make it a Bush/America ~twin spin~!
Insightful man. Thanks for link.
This from NBC Chicago:
Obama's Frightening Insensitivity Following Shooting
A bad week for Democrats compounded by an awful moment for Barack Obama.
All the president's men (and women) fell down on the job Thursday. And Democrats across the country have real reason to panic.
If I remember correctly, the military still believes in the term "hard labor."
That's what you get when you spend your college years blending race studies, social justice and law for implementing both.
Not a lot of time left over for things like history, though I'm not sure how much help that would be when taught by a Harvard professor.
Me, I took calculus, physics, engineering, circuit analysis, computer programming, and still managed to find time to squeeze in some sociology, economics and history.
So I can state with 100% accuracy there are only 50 states.
That's a bit before my time, but close enough. I remember being dumped off at the theater with my brother and sisters, with enough money to get in and buy some candy, and we'd just stay there all day. We'd hide when they cleared the theater between viewings, then just watch the same movie again and again.
Ditto! Ron Ely is the Man! Also, Doc Savage. Maybe he will get an Open Thread photo op.
He's no moron. He's simply playing to the moron voters in his district.
It's a common misconception of the right that those on the left are idiots. A lot of the voters are, but not the ones running the liberal circus. Remember, they're on the verge of what passes for legally stealing 1/6 of the American economy.
Do not underestimate the intelligence of this running the left.
Nothing grabs the attention of a politician like his fellow party members getting tromped in an election.
I don't even want to know what's going on between Yogi and Boo Boo in their cave in that movie.
I believe that was part of being a parent in those days, a cheap babysitter it was. the better part of a double feature on saturday could take all of 3 or almost 4 hours, you double that and the parents could get caught up on their togetherness for the week. Nowadays, is the really suppose to be one word?
with the multiplexes you can sneak between several movies if you are slick enough and not have to bear
repeats.
ataway, Mark! That's the one. I seem to remember the last scene where Tarzan had been hooked by slade with a wire noose and choker attached to a pole at the edge of a great cliff. Of course, the ape man successfully got it off and sent Slade off the cliffto his doom. Then there was also a great sequence involving quicksand as I recall where in the end there was just a hand with a lockett sticking out of the mire. Those were the days.
This day keeps getting better
NEW ORLEANS — Investigators with the Louisiana Attorney General's Office raided the New Orleans ACORN office Friday in connection with embezzlement and tax fraud allegations.
Assistant Attorney General David Caldwell said the office got a tip that some employee computers may be missing. Investigators executed a search warrant and hauled off laptops and hard drives to make copies of information stored on the computers.

You missed the loving and just citizens who stormed Lieberman's office yesterday demanding their free handouts. Meanwhile the mobs roamed the halls asking for their congress to read and consider the bill before voting. Crazy, out of control bastardos.

the BEST tarzan.
They do, but according to the news they haven't carried out an execution in almost 50 years, and they probably won't now, so that this may be turned over to the civilian authorities. Personally, I don't mind if it's a court-martial, a civil criminal court, or a good old-fashioned lynching, I just want the @#?&! dead.
The kind of speech Frank Drebin of Police Squad would have given.
Good point. I had almost missed that.
Hmmm, interesting. I've never heard of them but I looked it up and it seems as though their population is very small now. Thanks for answering HM.
That Johnny, he was such a Weissmuller………
I would be interested to know if Hasan targeted some of his victims based upon his work with them as their psychiatrist. Perhaps he didn't like their opinions and viewpoints of the war. Or maybe their actions in the war. I read that one of his problems in the past had been arguing with soldiers in his care. Also, I read that he had targeted some specific persons. When the heroic cop arrived on the scene, Hasan was said to have been chasing a soldier outside and firing at him. If that were the case, it would indeed be the lowest of the already low – using an injured and/or traumatized soldier's therapy against him/her.
Obama lectures America, "Not to jump to any conclusions" about murderer at Fort Hood. The single greatest act of muslim islamic domestic terrorism since 9/11.
You may be right. But in my opinion, if this gets turned over to the FBI its only because the White House ordered it.
I don't see them turning him over with out one hell of a political fight at the Pentagon.
I'm talking about announcing a Presidential address to the nation about the Fort Hood tragedy and beginning with a status report of meetings and a shout out.
I would expect the person residing in the Oval Office would have a better understanding of circumstances.
One of the wounded soldiers was from a town about 40 miles from where I live, its part of the region. He was shot trying to protect a wounded fellow soldier. According to the paper this morning, its quite severe, but he's stable.
Shout out.
Yes, my point exactly. Lt. Frank Drebin (you know, from the Naked Gun movies) would have done the same thing – completely tone deaf.
One thing in Obama´s defense: the fake "feel your pain" and "let´s all start healing together" rhetoric that Bill Clinton would have used is even worse. Obama comes across as indifferent – just the way he is, imho – but at least he is giving the jihadis nothing to gloat about. I think Bush would have done better than both of them.
My mistake, I should never try to speed read without taking the proper course work.
I thought you meant Joe Friday. My bad.
Yes, from what I've read, it was a preplanned event concerning some summit or another, his cracker jack media team decided to invite the entire press, and told them it was an address about the Ft. Hood incident. Talk about amateurs.
You would think the media people behind the biggest PR scam in the history of the free world would have made sure their replacements (before returning to Hollywood) would be sufficiently competent to handle the day to day task of presidency.
As for the local resident who was shot at Ft. Hood, Michael Cooke, was shot three times in the back, while protecting a fellow soldier who had been wounded in the head. He's in critical but stable condition. If you're a religious person, please pray for him, if not, please hope for him.
He represents what I see as the best in Americans, willing to give their own lives for the protection of others. God bless them.
