i thought Arnie vetoed this type of behavior.....
A longtime gay rights activist, Kennedy married her partner, Vicki Marti, in a 1999 ceremony in Hawaii attended by many California political insiders.
i'll give you a hint, appointed by in '03, one of the cheese of the P.U.Ceee...

"The question is: Do we challenge him for re-election,'' said Steve Frank, longtime political activist and publisher of the California Political News and Views, an influential conservative blog. "I believe it won't come to that, because this sets a signal that he's not running.
"He can't run as a Republican, because his administration has hired some of the key people we recalled with Gray Davis in the first place. And even should he run, he has no base left ... who is supporting him. Because what does he stand for?''
abandon sack? FT?

Google tells me Rep. John Doolittle, R-Auburn, has deep fund raising ties to Jack Abramoff. Old pals it seems. Doolittle didn't serve in the military either.
Man, it would make me so happy to see the man who was my representative for so many years dragged off the political stage in a cloud scandal. That guy cares about nothing but developers' money. And he's willing to okay any sort of "make it so nobody would want to live here anymore" destruction in his own district to get it.

o.k., sounds pragmatic enough, but god ain't gonna like it.
Doolittle, sure...
let's make the roster a little smaller, who isn't playing catcher for Jack 'the skipper' Abramoff ?

glad you brought up the Duke. you know that pension is around six-figures FT, of course, unless it can be proved he was lying.
Question's-
Does lying to the American People count?
and
Would a fiscally sound pragmatist ex-LEO support such a pension?

"We need dams or get people to move to red states. "
Or like...use less water.

No more dams. The reality of the situation is that it is absurd to cram as many people as possible into semi-arid areas and then try to make deserts into fertile farmlands.

I would actually agree with most of that too, Fatty.

You're sounding like a fiscal conservative. I agree, let's do away with social security, water/farm subsidices, race based college enrollment, and restrict welfare/social programs. Of course we are fighting powerful forces.
Fighting powerful forces? Sounds more like being their toady.
Get rid of Social Security? Sure. There was never a need for it to begin with, right? Retirement was a paradise before Social Security ruined it for everyone.
Farm subsidies? Who needs 'em? Let us go back to the days when farmers had to plow their crops under while folks in cities went hungry. That system worked really well.
Race based college enrollment? Yeah, remember the good old days when it was illegal for blacks to go to schools? Hey, they've had a generation to make up for 200 years of getting sh#t on. Isn't that enough?
And let's get rid of welfare and unemployment. If you can't find a job, move to China or learn to deal with it!

fattrad, and fascists like you believe everyone should take care of the capitalists?
Perhaps you should read this:
"We the People of the United States, in Order to form a more perfect Union, establish Justice, insure domestic Tranquility, provide for the common defense, promote the general Welfare, and secure the Blessings of Liberty to ourselves and our Posterity..."
Being a Republican, you probably have never read that before, or heard of it for that matter.

"Farmers should grow food when open market forces make it profitable and leave the fields fallow when they would suffer a loss (basic demand/supply, chedk an econ textbook). "
And this they are supposed to mystically divine 6 months in advance before they spend all that money to plant their fields and tend them? Of course, once they have somehow figured out 6 months in advance that the price of corn will be down next year, they will plant nothing and will then pay for their mortgage, tractor, combine, food, clothing etc through the beneficence of strangers.
I'd like to meet one of these farmers that can see into the future. I'd make a killing on the commodities market.

You are talking apples and oranges. Farm subsidies were originally intended for family farms that don't remotely have the resources of IBM, DELL etc.. They can't survive a couple of years with no income. Farming is a risky business and even in the best of times the profit margin is small. Before the New Deal, farm collapses were a significant contributing factor to the depression. I understand that the system has been abused by big business farming. I don't see that as a reason to abolish the system. I see it as a reason to fix the system. In doing so it would probably become a lot cheaper as well, if it was done right, of course. And I know it is doubtful that we can count on politicians to do it right. But we should at least try to do the right thing.
