I guess in Iraq you have to throw shoes to get people's attention... it's hard to believe that Dubya got threatened by the one thing that Richard Reid also thought was a WMD... only in the case of the Iraqi reporter who basically shit in Dubya's pillowcase and put it back on the bed, he's being championed by his people as a HERO.
I'd imagine that if something similar happened in the US, the ShoeThrower would get Tasered and be the suggest of a viral internet laughing stock campaign.
It makes no sense to me what the Iraqis find disrespectful... also what makes no sense is, where was secret Service? Jay Leno posited this self-same question, and honestly does anybody have an answer? Also, is that team of Treasury Agents getting the Pink Slip during these Harsh Economic Times? You tell me? And are they able to get Unemployment Insurance if they did get axed?

Coming Soon to Detroit Three Months Only
It's pretty outrageous that the WBN-GOP Senators were talking about giving the Big 3 until March to get their act together.
This type of idiotic thinking begs me to bring up the point of ELITE BUREAUCRATS... a concept that is completely foreign in the United States, but is a mainstay in Western European and Japanese governments. This is not to say that the bureaucrats of the other Western democracies all know how to run things with ease and smoothness, but more to the point that the "best and brightest" can and are attracted to civil servant roles. Whereas in the US the majority of civil servants are questionable types, with good intentions -- usually. Just ask Rowdy Roddy in Springfield, IL about good intentions for the public good or for himself.
No, Elite Bureaucrats are those men and woman who work for their governments with the kind of leadership and managerial skills one would expect in the most successful of private companies.
Think about what the US would be like if government service wasn't the bastion of those will limited knowledge or limited ambition? Our government would be different, wouldn't it?
And the concept of nationalization would stink like the worst fresh dog shit that you can think of.

Now that's an internal quote from the WBN-GOP...
The GOP is fighting tooth and nail to be permanently known for the next generation or two as the Party of Herbert Hoover and Dubya Bush -- as they'll be synonymous with trashed and devastating economic policies and the Party of Low Wages!
Even Tricky Dick Cheney was begging and pleading with the WBN-GOP Senators to pass the Auto Industry Rescue Package. Hopefully Dubya and the Treasury Department swoop in and allocate some of the TARP money to the Auto Industry (which IS applicable to GM via GMAC).
Why just this morning as I was driving to my storage locker I saw two 2009 SUVs! I almost shit myself, because I could understand for the life of me why someone actually recently bought one of the environmental disasters/energy hods.
Just because gas is going to hit $1.15/gal by the spring and the Big 3 won't have the same kind of external pressures to get them to make more fuel-efficient cars doesn't mean that the Oil Crisis has disappeared. It's still in full affect.
The WBN-GOP don't know how to connect with the American People anymore -- they are, by in large, clinging to the

REJOICE, REJOICE THE GOP IS DEAD
That is not a far off statement, although it’s not completely true… yet. The past election has effectively demonstrated that the GOP is the Party of the Confederate States, of Old White Men and Country Bumpkins -- essentially an antiquated group of constituents that are seriously looking for a reason to continue to exist.
I can't find a reason, can you?

Greeting THE NIG IN ME readers, this is Ras The Exhorter here, a new blogger on Ramses’s site. He’s been tied up on many a projects and getting his life together, and he graciously asked me to contribute to this blog.
My first entry will be about the Transportation Safety Authority or TSA; they announced recently that by next fall the fluid ban will be lifted such that passengers will be able to once again carry liquid, gel or aerosols greater that 3 oz on planes.
Ras to the TSA (and the American Public) the Terrorist won! They’ve forced us to change our way of life. And that’s all the really want, so yeah, they won! Thanks a lot George Bush and Dick Cheney for pushing the fear of radical Islam off the scale. It is hard to believe that Richard Reid (aka The Shoe Bomber) and the theoretical musing of a group in Germany regarding making
The one crucial fact about the terrorists (where ever they are from and whatever dogma they subscribe to) is that they can wrong and defeated 99.9% of the time, but when they have to be right and get through that 01% all hell breaks loose, and the over-reactionary U.S. Government (under the jingoistic regime of G.W. Bush thankfully with less than 90 days left in the Presidency) curtails its citizens civil liberties guaranteed in the Bill of Rights. The one document that almost no other country has, and is the basis for the freedom all American citizens enjoy above and beyond the rest of the populace in the Global Village.

I Mean Really?!?!?!
POLITICS – OLD SKOOL CHI-TOWN STYLE
So the Illinois Governor Rod Blagojevich showed the pink of his ass as he was forced to do the perp walk from the Governor’s Mansion early yesterday morning – Law Enforcement got his ass on some pretty wild, near cinematic, corruption charges. As this muthafucka was looking to sell President-Elect Barak Obama's vacated Senate seat -- wtf??
Here’s some quote from Blagojevich’s shit-filled mouth via the Fed's wire tap:
“I want to make money… the seat is a fucking valuable thing, you just don’t give it away for nothing.”
“I’ve got this thing and it’s fucking golden, and, uh, uh, I’m just not giving it up for fucking nothing. I’m not gonna do it. And, and I can always use it.”
Rowdy Roddy even called up the Tribune Company looking to axe reporters who have a tendency to call him on his shit, “our recommendation is fire all those fucking people, get ‘em the fuck out of there and get us some editorial support.”
Far be it from me to laugh a dumb-ass politicians (well, that’s not true) – but U.S Attorney Patrick Fitzgerald rancorously stated that that Roddy Blag had “taken the state to a new low!”
What’s even more fucked in the head is, Roddy Blagojevich was daring the Authorities to wire tap him! Daring them! In my experience when a muthafucka does that, it’s time to check with the FBI ‘cause you best believe they is already recording all that muthafuckas convos! And such was the case with Blagojevich… I’m mean, I don’t know who is worse Orenthal James Simpson, disaffectionately called “The Juice” or Rowdy Roddy Blageojevich! Each demonstrated a level of pigheaded boolshit, that I’m just cackling and cackling as I write this.
What kills me is that Blagojevich had been under investigation for FIVE FUCKING YEARS because of his extra dubious fund-raising and influence-peddling schemes – and apparently he was oblivious to the Feds on his ass or, or once Obama had solidified his DC power-base and knew that he needed a Senator to help him keep the dead GOP from coming back to life, Obama pressure the US Attorney to drop a hammer on Rowdy Roddy. Word on the street is that Rahm Emmanuel had a hand in this, 'cause Rowdy Roddy could have caused problems in the future by putting the wrong sumbitch in the Senate seat.
I guess we won’t know the truth about that, only can guess.
