The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly: November 21, 2008
The good (Senate Hillary Clinton on track to be the next secretary of state):
The bad (Fox Guest suggesting that attorney general nominee, Eric Holder "may agree" with terrorists):
And the ugly (Sarah Palin sipping coffee and giving an interview, while turkeys die on her watch):

Bush’s last rule-making hurrah
With just 60 days left in his tenure, you might think that W.'s lame duck administration was sitting around relieved that another guy was taking over, counting the minutes until the flight leaves for Crawford.
Not quite.
Based on the flurry of quiet directives coming from the White House as the end of the term nears, it looks like the Bush Goose (or is it turducken?) isn't quite cooked yet.
In what has become a kind of presidential right-of-passage, the president (or really, the federal agencies that answer to him) has been pushing through a series of last-minute regulations that have the force of law. Everything from pollution controls to family-leave standards can be set by these rules.
And you thought your high school government teacher said that Congress made all the laws.
These de-facto laws are called "midnight rules" or "midnight regulations" because they happen at the end -- or midnight period -- of an administration. If the rules are published in the Federal Register by Friday, Nov. 21, they'll be very hard for President-elect Obama to reverse when he gets into office.
And that's the point....

Over on YouTube commeters are wondering if Sarah Palin did not know that there was a turkey being ground into hamburger behind her as she prattled on about life after the campaign. She knew exactly what she was doing. This was Sarah the 2012 presidential candidate showing us that she does not get rattled by unpleasant things. That she's a MAN and can stand up to gore and shoot moose with the best of them. It just shows you how warped this woman is and reinforces my desire to never see her within 50 miles of the Oval Office--even for a visit.
The clip sort of reminded me of the movie "Fargo," with William H. Macy's character going through the wood chipper. Or something out of "A Clockwork Orange" or "Dr. Strangelove." I wonder if she'll go visit her demon-ousting preacher to get the turkey spirits off her???

By aaazzz111November 21, 2008 - 8:47pmHannity, you are a terrorist. Yes You. And you know it.
Hannity talks about something that happened in 1975 (for those that can count, that was, oh about, 33 or so years ago). Wow, you would have thought it was yesterday.
So, Hannity, how's Hal Turner?
Notice that we have the most disastrous president in history and Hannity wants to talk about imagined terrorists? Hannity, you are the fucking terrorist. You want destruction and fighting. Hannity, you are a boil on the ass of the dove of peace. You can't bring yourself to talk about Bush. Hannity, you are scum. You are bacteria. You are HIV. You are slime. Hannity IS the terrorist. Hannity is doing his best to inspire some idiot 'tard into doing something against Obama. What do you think Hannity wants for Obama? What?

being slaughtered, because I couldn't see through the annoying incoherent babble.
It's called English, and they teach it in something called school.
