The meaning of all of that
Some media is the whack
You believe it's true
It blows me through the roof

Pressure is on right wing trolls like AC :
Eric Boehlert @EricBoehlert
let's face it, if GOP *doesn't* take the senate it'll go down as one of the great political chokes of all time. #nopressure
Four days in a row, Pols? What's the point?
Perhaps they're getting their frustrations with the local media out in lyric form. They've all been rhymes about the media lying…
"Don't believe the hype"
Perhaps it's a reminder that Riot Fest is this weekend at Mile High in Denver. Public Enemy performing "911 Is A Joke" at last year's Riot Fest in Byers, Colorado:
Now I dialed 911 a long time ago
Don't you see how late they're reactin'
They only come and they come when they wanna
So get the morgue embalm the goner
Dunno..alls I know is…things don't happen for no reason…
Just curious…but Alva is playing the coy one….
You go, Duke. FIght the power.
I think it has something to do with the United Nations, bicycles, and the number 21…but I can't make the connection….
McCranky on early morning radio show 'guaranteeing' the reporter that he could go on to the battlefield in Syria and pick out 'who is the good guy' and 'who is the bad guy'. Someone please send this guy back home while he has a shred of dignity left.
Sadly, the crank has spark in his eye when he talks about war. What old coot needs Viagara when he can dream dreams about blowin' things up and stuff…
Old soldiers never die, but I do wish this one would fade away. He'd be pitiful if he wasn't so dangerous
McCain is too much of an arrogant jerk to be pitiful though, with his serial cluelessness, he passed pathetic on his way to pathological way back in 2008. Remember when he rushed to DC to save the economy, then contributed not one single suggestion? And who can forget his choice of Sarah Palin to be a heartbeat away from the presidency? And all those groups he's vouched for that have turned out to be the worst bad actors? So on what is the expertise CNN claims he has based? Feeding good sound bite to the ravenous 24/7 hour cable and radio news monster. Period.
I couldn't agree more, BC. I'm certainly a fan of, and honor any veteran who has served our country. My dad is a vet, and I give a substantial amount of my DC time to a non-profit vet org that focuses on clean energy and this country's most powerful asset, our 'soft power'.
The fact that McCranky is the face of our latest sabre rattling is troubling; the Senator has been nothing short of wreckless his entire adult life. How he made the list to get in to naval air training is a story in itself, but did you know the largest loss of life on a US carrier (134 men) was becasue he failed to secure the rocket trigger on his aircraft? History has done a good job scrubbing that little factoid. His time as a prisoner was really unfortunate – but that's what one should expect from war. And then there's the dumping of his then-wife. He's become the elephant in the room. I wish he'd just quietly board his wife's personal jet and go back to Arizona and fade away.
One of the few sane voices on this issue contines to be Bernie Sanders. He's nailing it (as is Rand Paul): why are we spending our treasures to what amounts to the protection of the wealthiest family in the world? While American taxpayers watch our bridges crumble, our middle class disappear and college educations becoming out of the grasp of ordinarly Americans – we're protecting the very people who fund this worldwide network of extremists.
We've learned nothing over the past decade.
Fascinating read, Michael…thanks for the link.
Michael,
Hadn't heard any of this story before. Totally unfamiliar with it, and having served on an aircraft carrier myself, I thought I had a pretty good knowledge of the history of most of these as well as Vietnam incidents . . .
. . . but that article says McCain was in the pre-flight Skyhawk on deck, not the Phantom that launched the rocket. More to this story????
Actually I did know about that and several other incidents. He was apparently a sloppy, careless cocky young pilot who had a tendency to lose expensive planes in training, not a very responsible or well thought of officer and his not getting into a lot more serious trouble than he did was due to his high ranking father. So I really don't know why he should be considered an expert on anything military.
He deserves all kinds of credit, honor and respect for what he endured and survived during his many years as a POW. He also helped others get through it. That doesn't make him an expert on military matters or on the war from which he was isolated in a POW camp. But it makes him a hero, and America doesn't take kindly to anyone dissing heroes, even those who only played heroes in the movies like lionized movie star John Wayne (for reasons having nothing to do with real life considered a Great American Hero), so his opponents, wisely, don't go there.
And they don't have to anyway as he's been making a complete ass of himself for over a decade now, the political stuff is fair game and younger Americans don't know or care much about the Vietnam era. To them, he's just an old curmudgeon who keeps popping up as the go to cable TV warmonger in connection with every possible conflict.
Huge Momentum for Udall (ahem)

Huge Momentum for Udall
Gardner 43, Udall 42
http://www.bizjournals.com/denver/blog/broadway_17th/2014/09/poll-shows-udall-gardner-in-dead-heat-for-senate.html
Udall will be a perfect fit for the continuing Democratic majority : http://www.vox.com/2014/9/17/6153603/senate-election-forecasting-2014-guide-republicans-chances Oh and AC troll it is dated today.
Yo Chuck, they must be on the pipe, right?
Pfft. Nothin.' As usual. Watch the trend lines, sh-thead.
Even More Huge Momentum for Udall
Gardner 48, Udall 40
"Finally, 34 percent of the voters polled listed the economy as their top issue this election, with the Affordable Care Act, popularly known as "Obamacare," listed second at 18 percent and immigration third at 13 percent."

Um, no, asshole.
Daily Kos Elections Morning Digest: Why you shouldn't freak out about Quinnipiac's new polls
But we LOVE how easily fooled you and your ilk are. Try looking up the word, "outlier." Then take a stroll around the net outside of your brain-dead, right-wing closed information feedback loop, and see what the experts have to say about Q's two bullshit outlier polls in CO, yesterday and today. You won't like it. Not one bit.
So cling while you can, loser, It will be very short-lived.
I say let the RW folks who disdain the Reality-Based Community persist in thinking that they're going to oust Hick and Udall–if it increases their complacency, that helps the Dems. I'd love to see the RW put it on cruise control for the next 5 weeks!
Oh, that's a given, Z! I hope these fools glom onto these crap polls like SuperGlue!
How is that dishonest "War on Women" stuff working?
Also noteworthy: Udall's lead among female voters was just 3 percentage points.

heh, heh, heh…..
Do voters sometimes vote against their best interest? Here's Andrew Carnegie with the story.
It's Quinnipiac again. So basically AC can take his pal Moddy's advice and relax and coast to an easy victory in November 🙂
Crack. It does a GOTP brain good.
Dumbass patsy.
Republicans peaked too soon http://thehill.com/opinion/brent-budowsky/218123-brent-budowsky-gop-peaked-too-
psst. It's still too early and they haven't peaked.
psst. You're a pissant whose 'word' doesn't mean spit.
psst. jackass – same thing happened in 2012 – remember the romney landslide? That sound you hear are right wing turds both ways bob and con man cory going down the toilet. What will you do in November when they lose?
Kansas has become a wet dream come true for David and Charles Koch:
The results?
This would just be a preview of a Beauprez administration.
As one disillusioned GOP official put it:
That, in a nutshell, describes Crazy Uncle Bob Beauprez too.
I've tried to visualize a BWB administration. Chief of military staff (for the upcomign civil war): Tom Tancredo. Minister of Truth: Tom Ready. Director of Agriculture and Commissioner of Sex Education (posts will be combined): Janet Rowland. Director of immgration and border controls: Pete Boyles.
I just hope he can find posts for former Reps Gardner and Coffman.
I don't know, Gardner and Coffman could be out of luck unless Gov. Beauprez creates a Dept. of Teats on a Bull
Laffin out the loud.
Or they can always find work at Mesa State University.
Multiple job opportunities!
True — I forgot they already have TOAB Department.
Hot off the presses, Davie, as of 5:45 PM MST, from WaPo's Greg Sargent:
"A Kansas court just ruled that the Dem’s name will be taken off the ballot in the Senate race, perhaps giving independent Greg Orman a better shot at ousting GOP Senator Pat Roberts and boosting Dem hopes of holding the Senate."
Woo-hoo!
Sec of State Kobitch is going to try to require the Dems to name a replacement candidate. I wonder how that will work if they refuse. Will he open the phone book, and put the first name which turns out to be a registered Dem onto the ballot?
He should go on ahead.

You mean that 18 year lull may be over?
There is no lull, just more heat going into the ocean.
Here's the up-to-date data

Sh-thead.
Pat, can I please buy a vowel? I'd like to buy an "I."
No. You're still going to have to "self service" . . .
Well, AC, that convinces me. No need to believe the rocket scientists at NASA and NOAA and ESA. Nope, you've accomplished your goal. I don't requrie any more persuasion. Now you can go back to sucking Koch and paying big money to Osama for his nozzle.
That is the funniest thing I have read today!
