-Foley (quit, will probly get investigated)

Jonah Goldberg: I have no worthwhile instapunditry. But, I think if the allegations are true this is just one more reason to add to the phonebook-sized list of reasons why grown men shouldn't mess around with underage boys. It goes some considerable distance after, "it's gross" and a good bit before "it takes time away from yard work."

xpost

did they find their dignity yet?

xpost: shut up or you get moogles after your posts

uh, what?

John Podhoretz: Take a Break from Foley and watch this powerfully moving trailer for a new movie called Home of the Brave about American soldiers in Iraq and afterwards.

Shut up!

The aliens amuse me. (They horrify me as well but they amuse me, 'cause I have to laugh to keep from crying.)

sick sick sick sick sick sick sick sick sick sick sick sick sick

oh yeah, and this was not directed at blount, obv

a: don't bend the pages over!

Out here in Oregon, we got a related but smaller thing going on with all this, only it involved the Republican Speaker of the House(one who's blocked all sorts of actually worthy legislation from even getting a vote), her husband's brother(a cop, not a congressman, named "Tuck"), and an underaged girl working at the local pizza joint.

And, as usual with these folks, this was the same politico who pushed harsher anti-molester laws last year.

jeez. that look and the "little cryptic" line is summoning old Jon Lovitz performances on "Tales of Ribardry"

and he actually partied with the tom cruise people, a fact that the tom cruise people are actively trying to scrub off their website.

Oh yeah, and get this: dude was in a shitty, straight-to-DVD-and-Showtime movie three years ago. The site even has a clip of the action. And the imdb entry, if you're curious(no credit for Foley, tho).

I grew up not to far from there. It's where Ringo cleaned up!!!

I don't remember hearing anything about it being associated with Scientology, though.

Tee hee hee.

Today, a press conference by church leaders to support Haggard was cancelled shortly before it was scheduled to take place.

In stepping down, it was emphasized that Haggard did not admit any wrongdoing, but that he felt his effectiveness would be hampered by the cloud of inquiry...

Jesus Fucking Christ: evangelical bigwig opposed gay marriage "because it takes the dirt and danger out of clandestine sex with rent-a-men"

Interesting 7 min movie about all the people who knew about it, video of their cover-up lies and the finalé is watching them explain the $100,000 payoff Foley made when the first batch of emails were discovered.

I AM ON A MAN HUNT

Oh the flashbacks.

His latest effort.

Every time I think of Joe Theisman I picture the breaking of his leg on Monday night football. Warning: Graphic. May cause emotional response.

Someone call the FDA! Some pastors are spreading Mad Cow disease and America is losing her mind!

Check the symptoms. Gays want to marry and churches bless the union. In fact, we now have gays offering the sacraments. MOO!

Fifty percent of all Christian marriages end in divorce and the Church crows about defending the sanctity of that union. MOO!

We have condoms to prevent disease and abortion to prevent children. MOO!

We educate our kids in Godless schools but rave about their sports program. MOO!

But why worry? Our attendance is up and so is the Dow. Things are looking better.

Mad Cow has taken over. We are losing our minds.

In the area where I live Amish food is gaining popularity. Restaurants serving "Home-style cooking" have customers standing in line. Sick of fast food and microwave dinners Americans are finding something of value in the old ways of cooking. It has a more lasting taste, and as Grandma used to say, it "sticks to your ribs".

We need a new diet. The time has come when pastors must feed the flock something that "sticks to the ribs". Years of greasy Grace have lead to a dazzling showcase but an empty stockroom. Rewrite the menu and include some old family basics.

"The soul that sins, it shall die"
"God hates the workers of iniquity".
"In righteousness He doth judge and make war."
"Be not deceived for God is not mocked. For whatsoever a man sows, that also shall he reap."
"Be ye Holy, for I am Holy".

Alexis de Tocqueville is credited with having said:

"I sought for the key to the greatness and genius of America in her harbors…in her fertile fields and boundless forests; in her rich mines and vast world commerce; in her public school system and institutions of learning. I sought for it in her democratic Congress and matchless Constitution. Not until I went into the churches of America and heard her pulpits aflame with righteousness did I understand the secret of her genius and power. America is great because America is Good, and if America ever ceases to be good America will cease to be great."

Any nutritionists will tell you "You are what you eat." America, look in the mirror. Do you like what you see?

Mooo!

Years of greasy Grace

!

Mooo!

I'm still wondering about the Amish chain restaurant revival I've apparently missed.

Grace gets really upset when you call her greasy. Understandably, I think.

He's back!:

The former congressman and 2006 Republican bête noire will appear on NBC News's Today Show next Wednesday. (or the Wednesday after next..)

That's according to a Florida source who is close to the former congressman....

Mr. Foley told friends that he wanted to wait until after the elections in 2008 so to have as little effect as possible on the current political situation.

He's sober, he's not blaming his problems on alcohol, he's kibitzing about Florida politics, and he's eager to speak...

...because we've all been waiting to hear about Mark Foley's thoughts on the state of things!

Mooo!

Hahaha

No one calls him at 4:30 am. :(

Coach Dave just keeps at it:

Popular theory has it that over ninety percent of black Americans will vote for Obama. If that is not racist, I don't know what is.

oh no, we forgot about coach dave in all this

bill: wow, its great to finally be in heaven! so, how'd you guys get saved?
paul of tarsus: while travelling to damascus, i was blinded by a pillar of heavenly light, and heard the voice of god speak to me from above.
saint julius: i denied my roman masters to study the teachings of christ, knowing then i would be killed.
emperor constantine: i saw an omen form across the sun with the name of my savior written in greek, and returned to form the first christian state.
bill: uh, yeah, i, uh, found a dasani bottle with jesus's head glued on it...

lol custos

man, that coach dave:

Listen. I don't mince words. I will not be silent just because someone is going to call me names. Here is the truth.

* Nearly 8 out of 10 black children are born outside of marriage.
* About 13 percent of American women are black, but they
submit to over 35 percent of the abortions.
* The leading cause of poverty in America is single-parenthood.
* Homicide is the leading cause of death among black men.
* Over 1 million black men are in jail or prison.

Forty years ago, our white President Lyndon Johnson launched the "War on Poverty." This expansion of government ushered in the "War on the Family." Under the guise of "welfare," our churches permitted the government to usurp the responsibility of caring for the needy, a job which had always been mandated to the Church. Charity isn't charity when you use someone else's money.

The end result was the destruction of the black family. A government check replaced a father. The responsibility for caring for one's family was no longer demanded by the black community. Misguided government programs stripped the homes of the father. Overwhelmed and overburdened, the black pastors in the black communities turned to the god of government as the provider for their flocks...

Also, do these idiots who go on about the "failure" of welfare or LBJ's War on Poverty happen to remember that Nixon started slashing those programs(which had already begun producing results) once he took power?

Dude really deserves his own thread. He starts this one out by quoting Rick Nelson lyrics, then takes off a lines in:

http://www.ptsalt.com/commentary/obama_s_garden_party

...Here is the real story, at least from where I sit in “flyover” country. Obama lost the election on the first night of the Democratic Convention. Let me be clear. McCain didn’t win it, Obama lost it. The media will do all they can with their “expert” pollsters, and CNN and NBC and the rest will do their best to put powder on the pig, but the race is over for Obama. It was the Garden Party that did him in. I know this flies in the face of inside-the-beltway experts, but it is crystal clear out here in cornfield country. The thing that has done him in is the political monogamy. The “experts” are married to the same worldview. They are an incestuous lot, spending all of their time sharing their monogamous ideas with other “experts.” It is the greatest deception that we all face…the thought that you are right because you have found someone who agrees with you. The radical Democrats in control of their party actually think mainstream Americans agree with them. Why? Because all they ever do is talk to other “experts” who share the same opinion. They are more faithful to their worldview than they are to their spouse. That, in a nutshell, is what has cost Obama this election. Let me stop right here. The Republicrats are no better but at least their ideas tend to fall in the mainstream of American values. Not all of them. But at least their core values can be found in any barber shop in rural America. When it is all said and done, most Americans trust their instincts. That is why the Obama presidency is dead on arrival, no matter how much the media experts tell you he is winning. The Democratic National Convention has worked very hard to put on a good show. There was a day when the Conventions were about smoke-filled rooms, and back room deals, where a candidate was actually selected. Today the conventions are nothing more than an Amway Convention where the party leadership creates an image which all of the media sycophants are supposed to enhance. Democrats think they are popular and that most of America supports the party of FDR. But it is an illusion. There is still a great deal of party loyalty, especially among blacks and union workers, but the heartbeat of America is not in rhythm with what the political gurus believe. The gurus love Democratic ideas and candidates so they think that all of America agrees with them. Because the pundits share like views they have convinced one another that they are correct. That is why I love my local barber shop. That is where you really feel the pulse of Joe Sixpack America. Joe Sixpack is tired of Bush and is open to change, but in his heart he's looking for Ronald Reagan, not Ronald McDonald. Obama was on to something with his innocuous theme of “change.” It helped him defeat Hillary and made him a media darling. But, to paraphrase Obama, change is “words, just words.” The proof is in the pudding. And on Monday night America discovered that there is a “fly in the ointment.” McCain is going to win. He’ll do it without his base. McCain is a Democrat who happens to be in the Republican Party. Many Democrats are happy to vote for him. They know he is not a real Republican. Remember, Joe Biden supports John McCain. But here is why Qbama is toast. He ran on change, inspired change, had folks hoping for change. And then he went to a Garden Party in Denver I went to a garden party to reminisce with my old friends
A chance to share old memories and play our songs again It was his “friends” that did him in. Died-in-the-wool Democrats love Democrats. They can’t wait to go to the party and “reminisce” with their old friends about the good ole days of Democratic Party power. Their Denver party featured the same, tired, big-government icons. All of their heroes were there: Kennedy, Carter, Clinton, Kerry. The media pundits were former Democrat hacks Begala, Carville, and Brazile. The party insiders thought they were showing their power. Cornfield America began throwing bricks at their TV. You see….their memories were jogged. They remembered: · The malaise of the Carter years and 20% interest rates· The ungodly, socialist morals of the Clintons and Monica’s blue dress.· The degeneracy of Teddy Kennedy and Mary Jo Kopechne.· The phoniness of John Kerry and the Swift Boat veterans It was not a pretty picture. Most Americans want change but this was not what they had in mind. An Obama victory would signal the return of:

* E. T. look-alike Carville and his squinty eyes spinning the facts.
* Paul Begala and his disingenuous smile, and Eddie Haskel-like lying.
* Brazile and her race-tainted views.

I wonder if someone is sabotaging the Obama campaign? Obama will not recover. Americans are still too smart. Democrats will elect McCain with the aid of blind Republicans. They know that Obama is an empty suit. Maverick John McCain gives them an out because, after all, he’s not really a Republican. People came from miles around, everyone was there
Yoko brought her walrus, there was magic in the air…If you gotta play at garden parties, I wish you a lotta luck
But if memories were all I sang, I'd rather drive a truck. Again, McCain will win and Obama is toast. I hear the good ole boys in the heartland firing up their trucks. But all is not lost for the party of FDR. Either way, we get a Democratic president.

Yes, I realize this is the LEAST of that guy's problems, but:

"There was a day when the Conventions were about smoke-filled rooms, and back room deals, where a candidate was actually selected."

How can that possibly be represented as a GOOD thing? How is there a total break-down between glorifying that kind of back-room shady deal that BIRTHS special-interest favoritism and corporate corruption etc etc and the oft-stated desire to reform Washington, kill pork-barrel spending, and so forth?

What does this dude have to do with Mark Foley?

I think we started talking about him around the time that the foley thing happened.

yeah he should have his own thread because he is hilarious, lives sort of near me, and is known to show up at local gay pride parades. you know, just to see what's going on. also http://www.ptsalt.com/blog/administrator/2008/10/popular_gay_public_sex_hangouts_in_columbus_revealed i really love that these guys compile lists of cruising sites and pretend that their intent is to protect children.

The then-page who broke the news has written about it -- Zack Stanton:

http://www.politico.com/magazine/story/2015/11/the-page-who-took-down-the-gop-mark-foley-dennis-hastert-213378

Has time really passed THAT much?

Early in the page year, Foley started chatting with a few of my classmates on AOL Instant Messenger. AIM was an evolutionary ancestor to the later era of social media and texting, a place where you could instantly talk with friends or strangers while hidden behind a screenname.

wow

you would put a dime in the slot and then enter the seven-digit number, or sometimes a ten-digit number, assigned to the party with whom you wished to speak
