(2008-04-23) — In the wake of Sen. Hillary Clinton’s primary victory in Pennsylvania Tuesday, Nobel laureate Jimmy Carter today announced he would interrupt his work on the Gaza Strip branch of the Carter Library to meet with Mrs. Clinton and rival Sen. Barack Obama to negotiate a cease fire in the battle that threatens to destroy the Democrat party.
The former U.S. president, fresh off one-party talks with the exiled leader of Hamas during which Mr. Carter succeeded in securing a hug from the terror group leader, said he’ll aim to get Sen. Clinton to halt her attacks on Sen. Obama in exchange for a pledge from Sen. Obama to disown his pastor, the Rev. Jeremiah Wright, and his indicted real estate partner, Tony Rezko, as well as his colleague, terror group founder William Ayers, and his maternal grandmother, “who is a typical white person.”
“I believe you can address any problem through talking,” said Mr. Carter, “as long as you’re willing to set aside what you know about people’s motives, their values, their goals and their historical patterns of behavior. I envision our party convention as a win-win — with two Democrat nominees, walking side by side, in peace and mutual respect — and I think to myself, what a wonderful world.”

Ya gotta love this headline:
“Al Qaeda chief slams Muslims for lack of support”
Maybe J. Carter and J. Wright can do a J-J-Jihadithon. Let’s see … “… and for your pledge right now at the 500 Dinar level, we’ll send you a DVD of the special program you’re watching, “Bombing, Beheading and Bellydancing Favorites.”

Jimmy Carter, traitor.
President Bush has a Mid East trip planned to attempt to honestly find a path to peace, and that snivillian lil rooster inhaler runs over to apply oral appreciation to Hamas’s posterior.
Nice.

Dare we hope for peace in our time among politicians of any stripe? Should work out about as well as the dozens of ME peace arrangements which, so far, haven’t really gone all that well.
Right after signing they have one of those “V8″ moments, smack thier foreheads and declare…”that’s right, I HATE those folks” and then they proceed with the bloodshed.
So it will be in this case as well.
Funny piece Scott!

Well, we’ve had co-Presidents before, if Jimmy is successful maybe it will be a joint ticket with the Rev. Jackson and Al Gore as co-VP’s. With a little help maybe we all can “just get along”. It would be a step to where maybe every American citizen could have a spot in the Presidency. We would all have our equal say and get our federal paychecks and health plan, just think how much we could do with millions of “ambassadors” jetting all around the world getting other people to “get along” too. I am going to get a head start on the rest of my countrymen and leave for Iraq to begin negotiations with Al- Sadr as soon as I can arrange transportation on Air Force One or Two, if Jimmy can do it, you can do it too. And better!

I rear-ended a car this morning on the way to work.
There we were pulled over alongside the road and slowly the other driver got out of his car and …
Well I could NOT believe it . . . the guy was a DWARF! He stormed back to my car, looked up at me, and said, “I AM NOT HAPPY!”
So I looked down at him and replied, “Well, which one are you then?”
. . . . and that’s when the fight started.

LG: Given that picture of Madame Hillary! that woodenwheel shared with us, perhaps Scope® was the correct word choice.
BTW The county map of PA showed a Hillary!rout in all but about four counties. In that we have a gazillion counties, the map was impressive… so to speak. I was surprised that OhBummer didn’t take Allegheny County/Pittsburgh.

onlineanalyst, thanks for the link to that article about Frank Marshall Davis. Add another commie to the list of Obama’s “mentors and friends.” Davis, J-Wright, Ayers…even Mrs. Obama is an angry anti-capitalist, except when it comes to her own family’s finances, of course. Obama’s associates feature an ever-growing pile of anti-American garbage…looks like Obama’s “chickens are comin’ home to roost!”

Anything with even a soup con of Liver Lips as an ingredient is a mutant abomination for which even the fires of hell are cool.
It is for this reason that I hereby mandate he wear constantly-jangling cowbells and moan the word “Unclean” incessantly (with intermittent groans and agonized, raspy gasps) while waving red flags and sobbing in disheveled despair as History spits with precise, though torrential, accuracy in his filthy face from all points on the XYZ axis.
Thank you

Why can’t he just go back to building houses for Habitat? There is honor in that kind of work. I’m thinking that we have elected some Presidents at too young of an age, but then I think of Reagan, he was really good at being retired, didn’t run around trying to “be someone”.

My song for Carter:
“May the bird of paradise fly up your nose;
May an elephant caress you with his toes;
May your wife be plagued with runners in her hose;
May the bird of paradise fly up your nose!” -Author unknown

The answer to this riddle is what Carter is, was and will continue to be.
Also true of every CINO who tries at pretending to be a Christian.
RIDDLE:
When asked this riddle, 80% of kindergarten kids got the answer, compared to 17% of Stanford University seniors.
“What is greater than God, More evil than the devil, The poor have it, The rich need it, And if you eat it you’ll die?”

Thanks for the generous donation for the MS Walk from our friend from Eastern Washington. Very nice. Sadly it is suppose to rain on Saturday, but their will be lots of umbrellas and wet dogs walking down the old canal towpath.
Sadly, I will be working the desk, but my heart will be walking with a song emitting from within.

Can either side do math and/or have a clue?
This is a dumb as the idea that Alaskan oil would be the “magic bullet” that would bring us back to our youth when gas was .20 cents/gallon.
Both sides obviously need to “buck up” a bit and take their medicine like men (women?)
WASHINGTON (Reuters) - The Speaker of the House of Representatives on Thursday called on the White House to temporarily stop sending crude oil into the nation’s emergency stockpile.

Dear John,
you cannot be [B!**p!?!]ing serious ! I will say what I want to about Barack Hussein Obama, when I want to, where I want to, & if that bothers you, go sit on a tack and rotate ! For the last 7 and 1/2 years, I have watched - and listened to - George W. Bush refuse to go after the {bleep!}heads who heap dirt on his head and spit in his face, and in this one respect, I have found at least one point I can agree with the Dems on - the last thing we need is FOUR MORE YEARS of that ! ! !
I have serious reservations about whether you are worth the powder to blow you to [#%*/ !], MR. McCain, let alone worth any effort to make you POTUS !
Eat [!&*#], you {!%@} !

If you click on that link, you will see, just below her bio, another link labelled “e-mail Linda”.
I thought I would share that info with you folks - just in case some of you wanted to drop her a note to tell her what a divisive, bigoted, mean-spirited [pre-emptive PC purge] she is.

Agreed. Won’t amount to more than a blurb on the News, followed by a report on the surge in the use of Botox.
From what I gather we have enough crude, we just need more of it distilled into gasoline.
