I do agree with him that the US is headed for another civil war. I don't agree with his timeline, but I whole-heartidly believe another civil war is on the horizon. It will be a very sad sad day, but if we (the US) don't do something soon, it will be inevitable. Illegal immigration will be the biggest contributer to the civil war.

Oh My God! We loan these bastards all those tax dollars and they are refusing to account for where the money is?  No F'ing way (excuse the english)!

What arrogant pricks these guys are:

"We're choosing not to disclose that," said Kevin Heine, spokesman for Bank of New York Mellon, which received about $3 billion.

"We've lent some of it. We've not lent some of it. We've not given any accounting of, 'Here's how we're doing it,'" said Thomas Kelly, a spokesman for JPMorgan Chase, which received $25 billion in emergency bailout money. "We have not disclosed that to the public. We're declining to."

These banks get billions of dollars of OUR tax money and they think they don't have to account for how its used? BULLCRAP!  Where is Congress, Bush, or even Obama on all this? The government needs to pull thier thumbs out thier butts and demand an accounting for this. Hell try telling JPMorgan Chase or Bank of New York that you've lost track of the money they've loaned you, they'd have you locked up or not even loan you the money in the first place.

I encourage everyone here to write, call, or email your congressmen to demand that action be taken without delay. I am beside myself, I just can't believe what I've read! Greed had gotten those companies into the trouble they got into, the bailout didn't change a thing. The corruption here is staggering, just staggering.

THE LONG, UPHILL BATTLE: The "mindless" attempts by government and
  society to eliminate all dangers in life are threatening personal
  freedom, says Tom Mullarkey, chief of the U.K.'s Royal Society for the
  Prevention of Accidents. "The application of common sense and balance
  is much more reasonable than the seeking of mindless increments towards
  'absolute safety'," he said, which is "a destination which is neither
  feasible nor, in all probability, desirable, since it would come at
  such cost to our freedoms." While some areas obviously need regulation,
  he says, such as nuclear power and aviation, individuals should merely
  be given information on safety and be allowed to make their own
  decisions on whether risks are worth taking, so long as they don't put
  others in danger. (London Telegraph) …The mindless elimination of all
  dangers: malarkey. The new patron saint of common sense: Mullarkey.

No really, why?

LOLOL and THESE are the people we ELECTED?!?!?!?

Americans always talk about the 'power of voting' and 'The will of the people' when speaking of issues going to a vote, right? Well doesn't this mean IF an issue PASSES.i.e.garners MORE votes, it then becomes LAW? Or does it mean SUE until what the MAJORITY of the people VOTING saysis overturned by  a court?

IF a judge can just IGNORE what the people VOTED for, why even vote? Why not just ask a judge IF he/she could pass any old law he/she wants REGARDLESS of what the people want?

Thoughts, comments?

Dear celebrities,

I have just spent the last 8 years listening to you rant about how much you hated Bush. Some even threatened to leave the country (but didn't). I know this is a free country but free speech just means you can say you hate the president without worrying that you'll be killed or thrown in jail for it. It does not mean force your veiws down my throat. We don't care what your political views are.

We have a new president. if you didn't vote for him, fine. Shut up about it. Talk amongst your friends and families about it. If you win an award, accept it graciously and keep your politics out of it. In fact, if you want to use your celebrity, how about setting an example? RESPECT THE OFFICE! I didn't vote for Obama but I will not badmouth him like you do. He is our leader and even if you didn't vote for him, others did. Respect their views, too.

Don't go on tv ranting about how much you hate someone. It has the opposite effect-I tune you out. Again, respect the office, please. Thank you.

Signed,

a fed-up fan

Poeple have left this site because of all the political CRAP! Someone said that after the election we would be bambarded with "I told you so's".

Well I was hoping they were wrong but I can see they have already started. I was VERY SHOCKED to see Dawn start them.

Maybe by February this sight will go back to normal.

Obama won…I knew it, I never said it out loud but I knew.

I was NEVER as vocal as Ed, but deep down I knew, I think we all knew.

No matter whom you are supporting; if you are a registered voter: Please make sure you get to the polls in time to vote tomorrow!

Heck, I don't even care if you vote for Ralph Nadar, JUST VOTE!!!!

Here are a couple of 'minor' things TGIX would rather NOBODY would talk about:

Campaign financing oddity #1: will we ever find out what really happened? 

Campaign financing oddity #2: No really, isn't this COMPLETELY illegal? 

Now to be fair, I ain't saying McCain would be any better, I just want to know why these stories have NOT been 'over covered' like the media appears to do with everything Republican? That's all.

However, I have even MORE 'proof' that the dang RACISTS of California ARE based in LOS ANGELES!!!!

And tell me, knowing this, would YOU want to go down there to visit home, ever?!?!?!?! 

'Nice' radio ad sent to my email box . . .assuredly TGIX will have something to say against this, but I want to hear it. (betting he can't answer without searing OR racists language as is his norm.)

Obama claims he cares about poor blacks, but a Boston Globe report exposed how for eight years Obama supported slum projects in Chicago.

Poor blacks living in rat and roach infested apartments condemned Obama for not caring about them.

Cynthia Ashley, a fourteen-year resident said: "No one should have to live like this, and no one did anything about it."

Anthony Frizzell a twenty-year resident said: "In the winter I can feel the cold air coming through the walls and the sockets."

Sharee Jones who has lived for years with the rats said: "You could hear them under the floor and in the walls, and they didn't do nothing about it."

Paul Johnson who helped organize a protest against Obama said: "Of course he knew. He just didn't care."

Showing he just didn't care, Obama wrote letters on Illinois Senate letterhead supporting government loans for slum projects.

Obama coauthored the Illinois law that gave tax breaks to his slum lord friends, including now convicted felon Tony Rezko who helped Obama buy a million-dollar house.

As a US Senator, Obama worked to increase federal subsidies for his slum lord pals who donated more than $175,000 to Obama's campaigns with Rezko raising another $200,000.

While running for president, Obama is promising to create a fund that gives his slum lord buddies $500 million a year. This is outrageous.

I got 2 emails about this.  I know when I vote, I just press who I want.  not any of this other stuff.

For those who normally vote 'Straight Democratic', please pay close attention!!!!!  I was informed this weekend by a group of Obama volunteers that when voting for the presidential candidate this November, you have to make sure you punch Barack's name first, then proceed to punch 'Straight Democratic' or else the vote for the president won't count.  I'm not sure if any of you are aware of this, but we know they won't tell us this at the poles.  Please make sure you inform others.

NEW PREAMBLE TO THE CONSTITUTION 

This is probably the best e-mail I've seen in a long, long time. The following has been attributed to State Representative Mitchell Kaye from GA.  This guy should run for President one day…

'We the sensible people of the United States, in an attempt to

help everyone get along, restore some semblance of justice, avoid more riots, keep our nation safe, promote positive behavior, and secure the blessings of debt-free liberty to ourselves and our great-great-great-grandchildren, hereby try one more time to ordain and establish some common sense guidelines for the terminally whiny, guilt ridden, and delusional.  We hold these

truths to be self evident: that a whole lot of people are confused by the Bill of Rights and are so dim they require a Bill of NON-Rights.' 

ARTICLE I: You do not have the right to a new car, big screen TV, or any other form of wealth.  More power to you if you can  legally acquire them, but no one is guaranteeing anything.

ARTICLE II: You do not have the right to never be offended.  This country is based on freedom, and that means freedom for everyone –not just you!   You may leave the room, turn the channel, express a different opinion, etc.; but the world is full of idiots, and probably always will be. 

ARTICLE III: You do not have the right to be free from harm.  If you stick a screwdriver in your eye, learn to be more careful; do not expect the tool manufacturer to make you and all your relatives independently wealthy. 

ARTICLE IV: You do not have the right to free food and housing. Americans are the most charitable people to be found, and will gladly help anyone in need, but we are quickly growing weary of subsidizing generation after generation of professional couch potatoes who achieve nothing more than the creation of another generation of professional couch potatoes.  This one is my pet peeve…get an education and go to work…don't expect everyone else to take care of you! 

ARTICLE V: You do not have the right to free health care.  That would be nice, but if it would turn out the same way as current public housing, we're not interested in public health care. 

ARTICLE VI: You do not have the right to physically harm other people.  If you kidnap, rape, intentionally maim, or kill someone, don't be surprised if the rest of us want to see you put away for the rest of your sorry life. 

ARTICLE VII: You do not have the right to the possessions of others. If you rob, cheat, or coerce away the goods or services of other citizens, don't be surprised if the rest of us get together and lock you away in a place where you still won't have the right to a big screen color TV or a life of leisure. 

 ARTICLE VIII: You do not have the right to a job.  All of us sure want you to have a job, and will gladly help you along in hard times, but we expect you take advantage of the opportunities of education and vocational training laid before you to make yourself useful. (AMEN!)

ARTICLE IX: You do not have the right to happiness.  Being an America means that you have the right to PURSUE happiness, which by the way, is a lot easier if you are unencumbered by an over abundance of idiotic laws created by those of you who  were confused by the Bill of Rights. 

ARTICLE X: This is an English speaking country.  We don't care where you are from, English is our language.  Learn it or go back to wherever you came from! 

(and last but not least….) 

ARTICLE XI: You do not have the right to change our country's history or heritage.  This country was founded on the belief in one God.  You are given the freedom to believe in any religion, any faith, or no faith at all, with no fear of persecution.  The phrase IN GOD WE TRUST is part of our heritage and history, and if you are uncomfortable with it, TOUGH!

If you agree, share this with a friend.

No, you don't have to, and nothing tragic will befall you if you don't.

I just think it's about time common sense is allowed to flourish.

Sensible people of the United States , speak out, because if you do not, who will?

but I just could NOT keep quiet since some people WANT to stay quiet!!!

I was watching National Geographic this weekend and saw a show about Dubai and how they are making more islands. Yes, man made islands. I remember hearing about the islands they made that look like a palm tree but never heard how it turned out. Apparently it turned out well and now they are making the world islands. Now dumping all this sand and rock into the ocean to make islands and the breaks to protect ehm from the currents and storms; wouldn't this alter the sea level? In science they taught us that if you place something in water, the water rises to compensate for the object. Now if we were talking only one island…but we aren't. If I remember correctly the newest man made island project consists of 300 islands plus the break that encircles it.

That is more than enough to make the sea level higher, don't ya think!

EWWWW!!!!! NASTY!!!! There may some men that like this idea just because of the boob thing, but eeeewwwww!!!

About the validity of the past Olympics & China?

 We are ALL sick of the political CRAP! Since you seem to have so much to say about it a political site would serve you better. SHUT THE F**K UP ALREADY!!!

http://www.kansascity.com /445/story/804503.html

How can her husband refuse a court order (subpoena)? Doesn't this undermine the very ideals that McCain and Palin are supposed to uphold, you know the rule of law and such?

If this man were Joe Ordinary he'd be in jail for refusing a court order. I'm tired of our elected officials and thier families being above the law. Be a mam Mr. Palin and do your civic duty or does your wife keep "them" in her purse? I'm pretty sure who's wearing the dress in that family.

I'll head TGIX off at the pass and say that it happens on both sides of the political fence so don't turn this into a Red vs Blue debate.

has anyone else heard about this guy too??

http:// www.timesonline.co.uk/tol/news/uk/crime/article4749183.ece

This is VERY scarry! I sure hope this NEVER happens here. Our laws are our laws, to have a parrallell law system….TROUBLE!!

I know I said I wouldn't be back until after Thanksgiving, but I just HAVE to get some **** off my chest!! After this post I'm going to go back to not coming here until then. But this site IS called pet peeves, and BOY OH BOY am I just aggravated.

Right now I'm wishing McCain never picked Palin, because now we have news people EVERYWHERE. Gretta Van Susteren is even up here. I hate that woman, and now she's in my city! Tourist season ended last week, but the number of people in town has NOT gone down as it normally does, all these reporters flew up here and took their place. GO AWAY REPORTERS!! You can report about Palin from the lower 48, you don't have to come up here and clog up my streets! Just yesterday I was driving home and I thought to myself "Damn, nobody knows how to drive, but it's not snowing yet" - and then after that I found out about all these reporters. They're making life HELL in terms of driving around town.

As for Obama, I'm SUPER pissed off at him right now. Why in Gods name did he send 30 "lawyers" (or as normal people would call them, investigators) to Alaska to dig up dirt on her? I don't want these people up here, and the only thing they're doing is pissing off the people that live up here! I have seen more and more people that weren't going to vote for McCain decide to vote for him based on Obama doing the smear campaign. And seriously O-man, GET SOME FACTS!! You see MOST of the people that live up here have personally gotten to know Sarah, have PERSONALLY spent time with her. You can't tell us a lie and think we'll believe it, we PERSONALLY know otherwise! 

It's pathetic. I guess it goes to show they really don't have a fight against her though, if they did they'd stop trying to attack her personal life. I guess when you're that good, people have no choice but to make up lies and call you a pig with lipstick (by the way, thanks for giving us up here something to laugh about, we really do love that one!).

I can't wait for this election to be over. I can't wait for these F'ing reporters to go back to the lower 48. I'm going to go piss Gretta off tonight, I'm going to go stand behind the camera guy and everytime she talks I'm going to just yell at her. Nothing rude either, just be loud enough to piss her off. She had on her heavy down winter coat too!! Us locals are still wearing T-shirts out, and she's got on a winter coat!!!

GO HOME REPORTERS!!!! We finally got rid of the tourists, we don't have long until the snow starts to fall, so PLEASE give us our few weeks of easy driving on the roads!! If ya'll don't leave soon, I'm filling my vehicle with drunk natives and paying them to do what it takes to make you leave!!

OK thanks guys!! I'll stop by later before I leave work. But after today I'm done coming here again. I stopped by today to say hi and get that stuff off my chest, and I see it's exactly how I predicted, too much political BS for me to stay around.
