Man, where to start?

Pelosi - She's suppose to be a Catholic and doesn't know when life begins? The church has been very clear on that one for 2000 years.

Stop the Trucks - Why don't they call it "hassle the hard working truckers trying to make a living coalition" Why make exceptions for other trucks? Their cargo isn't as important as other trucks? Weldon Canyon?, give me a break, Now the trucks have to drive all the way over to Toland land fill ( on the other side of Santa Paula)and are contributing to your precious global warming!, burning twice as much fuel and costing more money.

Dem Convention - How embarrassing it must be for anyone who's a democrat. There's no message because they don't have one, (except, we hate George Bush) Obama doesn't know what city he's in. Biden is crying about something? Michelle doesn't hate America anymore - that's good!

One positive development - Santa Barbara County Board of Supervisors is considering off shore drilling !

As I have long suspected -- a fundamentalist Christian ideology underlies Brian's reactionary views.

If the Republican machine didn't feed Brian his talking points, he'd be left.... speechless!

ps: Heads up, Brian, Reggae is not on the "approved" Republican policy list. Toots and Marley and Cliff all express a fundamental disdain for the anti-populist message of the Right.

FR,
The left can feel comfort in their disregard for human life.

Brian, At least we get to enjoy our music without worrying if the "thought police" (aka the Fox propagandists and the Cato Institute, et al)have provided a daily script of blather for us to repeat. In the end truth always wins and buddy, you are so far off the deep end - not to mention any real understanding of global economics, it's just pathetic. Every time you write you only confirm our deepest suspicions about your ignorance.

Funny, FR dutifully repeats the blather arriving in his email. I would LOVE to read his deep thoughts on Global Economics. Or anything else. Geez.

FR, when the 'thought police' drive by your house, they see you in the window but their detection equipment indicates that no one is at home, so they just keep a'goin...

(testing the system - we have had some technical issues)

PS - lying our way into and creating forged documents for unprovoked preemptive war is disregard for human life

your posting traffic accidents from night before? emgencity??

This is important info for those of us who use the streets, especially on bike or foot or little wheels.

hey #10: do you know what open thread means?

Tyler, can you explain this photo? Is that man supposed to be dead? IS he dead? I went through seven pages of photos on the Knuttz website but could not find this photo or more information about it.

#13 - that's just a kid in the snow. It was under an "Assorted Photos" post. The photos there don't have any additional info, generally.
