I've given it serious thought. I must scorn the ways of my family, and seek a Japanese woman to yield me my progeny. He shall live in the lands of the east, and be well tutored in his sacred trust to weave the best traditions of Japan and the Sacred South together, until such time as he (or, indeed his house, which will periodically require infusion of both Southern and Japanese bloodlines of note) can deliver to the South it's independence, either in this world or in space.  -Lettow April of 2011

Raz is right. -MadImmortalMan March of 2017

Yikes, even Charlie Rangel took a swipe at the Prez.

And if Charlie Rangel says something, the GOP listens!

Jesus H Titty Sprinkled Christ, you're all a bunch of oversensitive fruits.  He thinks too much of himself, he thinks he's smarter than I am, he talks down to me.  Goddamn.

I voted for the man, but that doesn't mean that I have to like everything about him.

I have no doubt that he's an incredibly intelligent man. He's obviously incredibly capable. Nonetheless, I prefer not to be lectured during speeches, so I don't listen to him. I'm certainly not crying over it; I just don't care for it.

I'm no Obama fan but he's Goliath compared to David if we're stacking his intellect against average voters (people like meri, raz etc.)

We'll need a new IRS Commissioner, resigned today. BTW, it's Steven Miller that was just canned, I was confusing him with previous commissioner Dough Shulman (who also was the one who spoke to a House Committee about this last year.) Wall Street Journal is reporting it as "Treasury Secretary Jacob Lew requested the resignation of Steven Miller." So basically a straight up firing.

God I wish.  If I could be average I'd be fucking thrilled.

Well actually Raz probably isn't an average voter, I'm guessing he's not allowed to vote.

They are big on letting you exercise your rights like that.

IRS BOLO

Quote'Be On the Look Out'

Among the criteria used by IRS officials to flag applications was a "Be On the Look Out" list, which was discontinued in 2012, according to the report.

The criteria included:

-- Whether "Tea Party," "Patriots" or "9/12 Project" was referenced in the case file.

-- Whether the issues outlined in the application included government spending, government debt or taxes.

-- Whether there was advocating or lobbying to "make America a better place to live."

-- Whether a statement in the case file criticized how the country is being run.

-- Whether it advocated education about the Constitution and the Bill of Rights.
