It is going to be hectic the next few weeks, so in the bunker I go. Be good and I'll check around when time allows. All is good, just that friggin' busy.

Kissinger Doing the Weather
Back in the early 90s, I awoke with a wicked hang over one morning. As I sat on the floor watching the morning news, I swore I saw Harold Kissinger doing the weather. No one believed me. Professors discounted me. I have been vindicated.

Take care, hope your hectic time isn't too hectic.
Hey, when you come out of your bunker, if you see your shadow does that mean 6 more weeks of winter?
You've gone into the bunker.
I hope that you're coming out soon.
Priorities, man, priorities!

Hi obob,
Remember your comment over at my blog regarding Limbaugh's "Barack the Magic Negro" song?
I said Limbaugh was a racist.
You speculated that maybe it was just a polemic, and he was not racist.
Well here's Limbaugh's latest "polemic" on Barack Obama. What do you think? Coincidence--all those references to spades and hoes? Yeah. Right.
Rush Limbaugh:
http://www.crooksandliars.com/2008/01/15/limbaugh-gets-his-spade-and-hoe-work-in-for-obama/
Limbaugh:…Obama is holding his own against both of them–doing more than his share of the “spade” work. Maybe even gaining ground at the moment. Using not only the spade ladies and gentleman—that when he finishes with the “spade” in the garden of corruption planted by the Clinton’s, he turns to the “hoe.” And so the spade work and his expertise using a hoe.
Approximately 20 million people listen to this racist and think he's funny.
Um... Rush was satirizing the QUOTE Hillary made.
He was pointing out the hypocrisy of the Dems using such terms, (spadework, shuck-and-jive) while bashing the GOP for being racist and telling blacks that MLK wouldn't have made a bit of difference had it not been for the valiant efforts of the Dem President.
Clearly, you don't listen to Rush, but take quotes culled and posted out of context by leftists.
Sheesh.
Not the Bunker!!
Get out of there!
I can understand you being to friggen busy and needing a break but not the Bunker!!
Obob I know you are bsuy but I am trying to get a blogathon going for Fred Thompson tomorrow (1-17-08) if anyone else here is interested in participating. Let's all show why we want Fred in the Oval office!
It appears we are in the same frame of mind! How scary for you....LOL
Maybe we'll come back at the same time.....

Using the term "spadework" only once in a sentence to describe doing the political work it takes to enact and pass a law is perfectly legitimate political jargon.
Limbaugh took that one word out of Hillary's speech and used it as an excuse (Hillary said it first!) to repeat it again and again and even threw in "hoe." It would be like a child overhearing an adult say something like "We have to clean up all this sh*t before we sell the place." And then that child, because the adult said it, runs around the house yelling "Sh*t! Sh*t! Sh*t!"
Maybe people who listen to the gasbag all the time are inured to his peurile taunts, but we who hear him only once in a while understand exactly what he's doing.
"Clearly, you don't listen to Rush, but take quotes culled and posted out of context by leftists."--brooke
Yeah. It's called cryptic racism. And Limbaugh is a master at it.
Cryptic racism? You mean the kind only you can see, as opposed to the BLATANT racism exhibited by the Clintons?
It's really quite funny how leftists are so myopic.
"...telling blacks that MLK wouldn't have made a bit of difference had it not been for the valiant efforts of the Dem President.--brooke
Even Civil Rights leaders agreed with that statement. But NOT the way you state it.
MLK,Jr. got this country to see how racist it was and did all the hard work, even gave his life to change it and allow African-Americans to enjoy what is guaranteed to all Americans by the Constitution.
HOWEVER, MLK,Jr. needed a sympathetic president who could force the Congress to pass the laws needed to give our fellow Americans guaranteed equality, backed up by the Civil Right Act.
MLK,Jr. was not a legislator, he persuaded the people (blacks and whites) to accept that this was a moral mandate--he needed the politicians (president & congress) to make it a law.
It's interesting, isn't it, that President Johnson knew that by passing the Civil Rights legislation that the Democrats would forever lose the south. And that is exactly what happened. Before the passage of the Civil Rights laws, the south voted Democratic in presidential elections.
Re: Hillary's comments: You just didn't listen carefully to what was said, and posted out of context by righties. ;-)
I'm trying to get out, but the work load has exceeded my time allowance.
But, it was Everet Dirkenson, I believe, who was the GOP senator from Illinios who got Civil rights Act to go through for LBJ. LBJ promised him the credit, yet LBJ got the glory. And Democrats filibustered it.
thanks for the support everyone, I'll be back in a few days
I think that Brooke pretty much answered the Limbaugh charge, but I'll throw my two cents in here. Liberals spend hours dissecting Rush's every comment looking for racism. But if Rush was racist, wouldn't it be more obvious than a few out of context quotes? I mean, he talks three hours a day, and the best liberals can come up with is something that is obviously supposed to be satiric? Pathetic.
What is funny is how Rush knows liberals will get angry and try to take him down, so he purposely antagonizes them. Whenever anyone complains about his "Barack the Magic Negro" parody, he just plays it again. Then he laughs when Olbermann and company accuse him of racism.
Daniel Ruwe,
What is amazing to us liberals is that Limbaugh has an audience at all.
I'll give you one prime example of inaccuracy (or just plain deliberate lying)that he broadcasts, and that probably his listeners will not take the time to verify. He was absolutely WRONG on this. If he gets it wrong on something so easily reseaarched, what other bunk is he making his listeners swallow?
"On the January 7 broadcast of his nationally syndicated radio show, Rush Limbaugh falsely asserted that if "you look at" the legislative record of Sen. Barack Obama (D-IL), "you won't find a Senate bill with his name on it."
In fact, Obama was the primary sponsor of a bill in the 109th Congress (S.2125) to "promote relief, security, and democracy in the Democratic Republic of Congo," which was signed into law by President Bush on December 22, 2006.
In addition, Obama was a key co-sponsor of the Federal Funding Accountability and Transparency Act (S.2590), also of the 109th Congress. In a statement while signing the bill into law on September 26, 2006, President Bush recognized Obama as a sponsor of the legislation, saying: "I want to thank the bill sponsors, Tom Coburn from Oklahoma, Tom Carper from Delaware, and Barack Obama from Illinois." Moreover, in a press release upon Senate passage of the bill, the bill's primary sponsor, Sen. Tom Coburn (R-OK), referred to the legislation as the "Coburn-Obama Bill." Indeed, media reports have even referred to the bill as the "Coburn-Obama legislation."
In the 110th Congress, Obama has so far introduced 55 bills for which he is the primary sponsor.
Why do conservatives listen to Limbaugh?
Either he's a liar, out to deliberately besmirch Senator Obama's record, or he is incredibly stupid and is proud of his ignorance.
Either way, the joke is on his listeners, not us liberals. We always see through his chicanery.
I think rush wants a democrat to win. It's good for business. His ratings devoured the dismal Air America attempt that needed Soros money to keep it going.
He talks smack and it works. He gets y'all in a tizzy and laughs to the bank.
True.
Lotsa peeps make monee and laff on the way to the bank. Even Hugo Chavez. And?
we could go on and on, but the difference is Chavez actually runs his country
