Margaret, what kind of moron thinks that God destroys entire towns and kills people with a hurricane because politicians in Washington are being disagreeable? What kind of moron? The kind with the bouffant hairdo and a Minnesota accent. Honestly, if God worked that way, Irene would have headed inland towards Minnesota’s 6th Congressional District.
And speaking of bouffants, did anyone catch Rick Perry discussing abstinence? Evidently it works for him personally. I bet Anita is relieved. But I call bullshit. You don’t go to Texas A&M and make mediocre grades unless you’re spending too much time in the girl’s dormitory… or in Perry’s case the large animal vet school. I bet the cows have an opinion about Perry’s abstinence. And considering how easily he switched from Democrat to Republican, somebody might want to speak to a few of the bulls too.
I just don’t understand how so many stupid things can come out of their mouths considering how often they claim to be speaking for the Lord. Maybe each one needs to see a doctor about the voices in their head. I mean honestly, Margaret, these two manage to speak out of their mouths – both sides – and their ass without taking a breath… or a shit. Now see if you can follow the bouncing jackass:
- Rick Perry wants Texas to secede because Washington has gotten too big.
- Rick Perry takes $17 Billion in federal stimulus dollars.
- Rick Perry uses those dollars to generate a whole bunch of new government jobs in Texas.
- Rick Perry celebrates the state’s job growth in hopes that we’ll send him to Washington.
If he makes it to the White House, I’ll be the first to pick up where he left off in the Texas secession campaign.
And then there’s Michele, who doesn’t have the common sense God gave a goose. A couple of year’s ago, she decided that God’s green earth doesn’t need to stay green when she told folks, “Carbon dioxide is portrayed as harmful. But there isn’t even one study that can be produced that shows that carbon dioxide is a harmful gas.” Maybe she inhaled a little too much of that hairspray that keeps her hair so high.
Good Lord. This is the best the Republican Party has to offer? I think Texas has had it’s fair share of Presidents and Minnesota needs to just be satisfied with its largest ball of twine. I mean it. Really.
I’m thankful for you guys!

I come back to see no Turkey Day announcements from the ladies. I guess this webpage has run its course and it is time for this old cowboy to move on. It has been a pleasure getting to know many of you.

American Stew. It has mostly conservatives and a liberal poster, and if they indulge in name-calling, it is not personal. Moderators have banned people. It is the only one besides H&M that I visit.
I have watched three message boards flame out. Two no longer exist. This one may have a little life in it yet. It has been a good ride, but eventually, I will be done with them all.

So I see this blog has probably seen its end of days. I get little blocks of time where I get to indulge in my hobby of political sparing and this used to be one of the great places to do that. I see that time has passed.
So I wonder what other places you all go to with the same type of format as this place has. I would prefer a place where the hosts do little or no moderation of thoughts from either side of the isle.

re: M&H. Last post by blog owners 31 August.
It’s dead. Just bury it.
This blog was once a lot of fun, but nearly all the interesting participants have gone and I can’t deal with the chronic link posters. Posting links out of context is like throwing trash out the window as you drive by; no purpose except pollution; nobody picks it up and looks at it.
I have moderated several very controversial blogs; unless you have an effective moderation policy, trolls like Ko-Tex Piss Ant (alias Tex, Wayne Perram, Anonymous, et al) will destroy any blog eventually. (When I say “troll” I know exactly what that term means and do not use it lightly. You know he doesn’t work and sits around the house all day with nothing to do except bully others, right?) Folks will say you shouldn’t block free speech, but this is not a pubic forum; it is a private blog and it is dead, dead, dead.
Unless they get an effective moderation policy, M&H is gone and that’s too bad; even the people I disagree with deserve to be able to post without attack. I have other fish to fry; I’m afraid so do they. Too bad; it was a fun place to come.

I’d certainly second that about Orly Taitz. Why on earth would Justices like Scalia and Thomas–much less the others on the Supreme Court–repeatedly reject her efforts? Why would a Bush-appointee sanction her for frivolous claims? I have no idea whether she’s a charlatan or just very deluded, but her arguments have been very much debunked and in a non-partisan fashion.
And this blog has become the Juneau Joe/Noah show because….? Neither of you will persuade the other or, I believe, anyone else. Joe’s excessive exclamation points are no more persuasive than Noah’s insulting generalizations. It’s unfortunate that the hosts permit it.
I do hope that Craig and Mageen and others with challenges are doing well.

Perhaps it would be constructive to do a little fact checking on Orly Taitz before promoting her arguments as “evidence,” much less “compelling.” After all, her claims have been rejected by the most conservative Supreme Court justices and by conservative Court of Appeals and District Court judges.
I see that the same few people are sniping at each other on the blog. For the rest of you, as well as the hosts, best wishes for the holidays.

It would appear we have some very compelling evidence that we have a felon and a traitor in the White House.

uawtradesman, I’d like to spend eternity with you and alaskapi too-also delurkergurl. Pure hell would be eternity with some of the people who no longer write here.
Also, good wishes toward Mageen, Craig, and their families.
Happy Thanksgiving!

Happy Thanksgiving to you too UAW! Paradise, eh? It’s very pretty but I’ve always thought paradise had to have salt water and big tides and the aurora

Joining delurkergurl in special wishes for Mageen and Craig and their partners.
Thank you Helen and Margaret for having us all in.

Happy Thanksgiving Helen & Margaret. I hope you’re doing “better than you deserve.” You deserve the best, so better than that is what I wish for you! Please know that your fans look forward to your posts, always.
Mageen & Craig, I really wish the best for your spouses for the holidays. I have a special tiny little friend going through leukemia complications this week and it reminds me how cancer sucks – not like a Hoover, more like a Kirby. I hope your loved ones are responding well to treatment and that you get to have some joy with them.
