PANIC!! Button of DOOOOOM!

[Simon of the Playa]

BTW, "Never" is the only word G*d actually hears.


wicked sense of humor that one, i tell you...

[Simon of the Playa]

go ahead, say never again, i dare you.

Surprised Faux isn't reporting that Obama and Ebola both have three syllables, both start and end with vowels, and both are bad for Americans, so it must be a conspiracy and thank god we have a jowly, racist old white dude as co-pilot, now. Just the way the angry, white, white-bearded sky dude wants it to be.
Look for Palin to re-emerge in the spotlight soon as token extremist tart with manufactured relevance.

Hyperbole is always helpful..........makes everyone want to talk and share ideas, and listen.
Thanks for that.

1) I guess we need a sarcasm font in the worst way, here in the 21st century.

2) I'm laughing at the idea McConnell is the sort of person for whom "talk and share ideas, and listen" is an even remotely interesting approach.

*notes original statement and statement 2)* yes, I see you are very open and not prejudice.

[Tin Halo]

He has openly admitted that their #1 priority, since O took office, was to make this President fail. His actions have supported that sentiment.

[ygmir]

I guess what I'm trying to say, is, compromise, good faith and "lets bury the hatchet" has to start somewhere.
so, why not now?
instead of gloating and whining, how about "ok, power is divided, so this is a good time to work together".......and I aim that not just at the ticks in D.C., but even at us serfs. How about we just congratulate the winners, console the losers and do our best for eachother. Not judge someone by whom they vote for, let alone their human characteristics. There are always "more than one way to skin a cat". How about we acknowledge that, and work together?

quit the name calling and finger pointing.
at least reduce it, and stop the "tit for tat".........

*open statement: I"m an anarchist, politically, maybe libertarian leaning, so aim my comments at both parties, whom have embarrassed me right out of the main stream*

oh, and is this different than Tip Oneil, Harry Reid, or any opposite party leader? Maybe he said it aloud, but don't even try to say that is not the attitude, of both parties and leaders thereof, in the same situation.

[Elderberry]

...but don't even try to say that is not the attitude, of both parties and leaders thereof, in the same situation.

Actually Ygmir, that is not true and there is non-partisan data to back that up. Democrats have always cooperated and compromised when a Republican is president. No need to reply, as this is a fact there isn't anything further to discuss.

[GreyCoyote]

Unjon and I both voted for Garfield. (He voted for James, and I voted for the comic character)

[FIGJAM]

Once upon a time they would fight tooth and nail to win, but once the election was over, most would pull together for the good of the country.

Sadly I think those days are long gone.

[goathead]

but I have always enjoyed tats on tits

[Tin Halo]

One of the headlines from the BBC...

"The editors of the conservative National Review warns that the Republican Congress shouldn't fall for the "governing trap". Instead, they must focus on winning the presidency in 2016."

Says it all right there.

[Tin Halo]

Because it was made clear, 6 years ago, that compromise and good faith were as current as Howdy Doody reruns.
If you begin a major shift in leadership like that, whining, complaining, and stomping your feet, openly saying that your entire focus was to get rid of the guy that just won - nevermind the job that you were actually elected and sworn to do, which is serve the people - how can there ever be a measure of faith, trust, and compromise..now?

Antics were rewarded. You can dress it in a suit and tie and southern drawl, but a bully is still a bully.

This is for Doc - sorry about the tardiness of a reply, i am not as often on eplaya as some times earlier.
You asked - what's the problem?
I took that as you having not seen that i wasvecaggerating. But let me answer in a more relevant way.
BLM is a government entity. Repubs are now going to run the gov't. Repubs are beholden to Far-right, extremist Christians, andba slew of other haters, who will need a symbolic sacrifice.
Do you think TTITD, with its sexuality, nudity, grug allegations, libertatian tolerance for all perversions would survive if some radical, funded, Repub group demanded that it be shut down on "moral" grounds?
.
I have not devoted as much of my life to TTITD as you have. But i will be saddened if that scenario comes to being. At leadt one federal Judge in Nevada would be glad to see it happen...

[^Rhino!]

go ahead, say never again, i dare you.

Take a look at the epicenter depth, Simon.

Like an amorous ant crawling up an elephant's leg and promising to be gentle. Sort of ridiculous.

But there are many others (in power)who enjoy the money that the man brings...

What's to know? Make up any old fiction, call it god, anybody can do it, it isn't even original.

Naw, I just read E.O Wilson for fun and enlightenment. He's the guy that founded sociobiology, you know? And his area of specialty in biology was ants. Lotsa good comparisons there. Next week, TERMITES!

i just got a message from g*d

she said "here rhino, stick two more up your ass"

Those EQs are in the Virgin Valley area, near the USGS Sheldon Lake Study area, and the National Wildlife Area of the same name. That's east of the playa behind the Selenites, and not too far from Denio Junction on the Oregon border. I have the map. It's precious opal hunting and burro country.

[ygmir]

imagine a good shaker on playa, with people......liquefaction, and it'd all look like "The Philidelphia Experiment" on the ship.
