Question:

Evangelical leader says he bought meth By CATHERINE TSAI (Associated Press) The Rev. Ted Haggard admitted Friday he bought methamphetamine and received a massage from a male prostitute. But the influential Christian evangelist insisted he threw the drugs away and never had sex with the man. Haggard, who as president of the National Association of Evangelicals wielded influence on Capitol Hill and condemned both gay marriage and homosexuality, resigned on Thursday after a Denver man named Mike Jones claimed that he had many drug-fueled trysts with Haggard. On Friday, Haggard said he that received a massage from Jones after being referred to him by a Denver hotel, and that he bought meth for himself from the man. But Haggard said he never had sex with Jones. And as for the drugs, "I was tempted, but I never used it," the 50-year-old Haggard told reporters from his vehicle while leaving his home with his wife and three of his five children. Jones, 49, denied selling meth to Haggard. "Never," he told MSNBC. Haggard "met someone else that I had hooked him up with to buy it." Jones also scoffed at the idea that a hotel would have sent Haggard to him. "No concierge in Denver would have referred me," he said. He said he had advertised himself as an escort only in gay publications or on gay Web sites. In addition to resigning his post at the NAE, which claims 30 million members, Haggard stepped aside as leader of his 14,000-member New Life Church pending a church investigation. In a TV interview earlier this week, he said: "Never had a gay relationship with anybody, and I’m steady with my wife, I’m faithful to my wife." In Denver, where Jones said his encounters with Haggard took place, police Detective Virginia Quinones said she was checking into whether the alleged drug deal was under investigation. Jones claims Haggard paid him for sex nearly every month for three years until August. He said Haggard identified himself as "Art." Jones said that he learned who Haggard really was when he saw the evangelical leader on television. Jones said he went public with the allegations because Haggard has supported a measure on Tuesday’s ballot that would amend the state constitution to ban gay marriage. Jones said he was also angry that Haggard in public condemned gay sex. Haggard, who had been president since 2003 of the NAE, has participated in conservative Christian leaders’ conference calls with White House staffers and lobbied members of Congress last year on U.S. Supreme Court nominees. James Dobson, head of Focus on the Family, an influential conservative Christian ministry based in Colorado Springs, said he was "heartsick" over the allegations. He described Haggard as his close friend and colleague.

Garsh AND Crikey! If Haggard is innocent, then why would he resign? He could always do the "Swaggert" technique by confessing and asking forgiveness from his congregation. PRESIDENTIAL FAITH ADVISER OUTED? Rev. Ted Haggard, pastor of the 14,000-member New Life Church in Colorado Springs and president of the National Association of Evangelicals, is the target of accusations by Mike Jones, a male "escort," that the pastor has been a sexual client of Jones’s for the last three years. Haggard belongs to the elite group of right-wing religious leaders party to regular Monday-morning conference calls with President Bush, according to reporter Jeff Sharlet, writing last year in Harper’s. As a supporter of the ballot measure for a gay marriage ban, which Colorado voters will decide next week, Haggard’s travails have a political taint. http://www.prospect.org/weblog/ Factor in Jeff Gannon aka James Dale Guckert the male escort who visited the Whitehouse fairly routinely, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jeff_Gannon and we have some strange porno-homo trio led by Queen Georgie, the Shaved Bush. Yet we thought Laura was pissed about Queen Georgie bonking Condi. That seems quite doubtful now, that is unless the homoerotic godsquad had Condi play dominatrix for the pervert trio. Disgusting…

That is hilarious! ha ha ha ha ha ha… But that also begs the question: Exactly how are the neonazicon perverts going to blame this obscene soap opera on Clinton? Maybe they’ll use the lame Foley excuse – alcohol. Then make the claim that Clinton owns more distilleries in the country than anyone else. BTW, I wonder if male escort Jeff Gannon is involved in this scandal…hmmm. What? No retardicons speaking out about this? Their silence is really curious, ain’t it? Probably afraid to speak out and end up being exposed themselves, heh heh heh heh. God’s pervert battalion is about to be raptured.

The alcohol excuse is within the domain of Edward’s expertise: "…you brought up a lot of good points, but it’s time for me to go and I’ve had a few beerskis that now have affected my interest in trying to think of replies to your different points."   – Elvis Paisley, 04/27/02 – "Ok, but I’m having beerskis again – watch out!" – Elvis "Kabong" Paisley, 05/01/02 –

2002, yawn…old news. Lame rerun too, you banal sissy. Bed-wetting and shitting in the pants is of the domain of Lapi Dogi’s daily experience. Doesn’t make him a retard though. He was born with genetic defects in the brain making him stupidity personified permanently which led him to becoming a credulous chump and one of Queen Georgie’s pet droolers. Pity, isn’t it?

Apologies to any of the fine wonderful and colorful people who are Catholics. No offense intended when I mocked the New Orleans version of pronouncing the word as "CatLick" by using Cath-o-lick. I have plenty of family members and friends who are devoted Catholics.

Question:

This is why Republicans can’t do anything right. This is why everything they touch turns to crap. Because they are idiots. Take Representative Terry Everett, a seven-term Alabama Republican who is vice chairman of the House intelligence subcommittee on technical and tactical intelligence. "Do you know the difference between a Sunni and a Shiite?" I asked him a few weeks ago. Mr. Everett responded with a low chuckle. He thought for a moment: "One’s in one location, another’s in another location. No, to be honest with you, I don’t know. I thought it was differences in their religion, different families or something." To his credit, he asked me to explain the differences. I told him briefly about the schism that developed after the death of the Prophet Muhammad, and how Iraq and Iran are majority Shiite nations while the rest of the Muslim world is mostly Sunni. "Now that you’ve explained it to me," he replied, "what occurs to me is that it makes what we’re doing over there extremely difficult, not only in Iraq but that whole area." This idiot isn’t some backbencher. He’s the vice chairman of the House intelligence subcommittee on technical and tactical intelligence.

Marshall Crenshaw – Someday Someway http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NBFzXLh5lo0&search=Marshall%20Crenshaw Forgot about this guy.  I wish I remember the story better by now, but about 25 or so years ago, a local club wanted my friend’s band to open for Marshall Crenshaw.  I guess Marshall Crenshaw’s management wanted to use their sound reinforcement gear.   They said no way!

I met Marshall about 20 years ago at a Lone Justice listening party. He was a very cool guy and has written some of the best pop songs around.

He came to Pr1mo one day to pick up 2 Silver Anv AC30s, played them for about 10 mins, and was just one nice guy.  I had no idea who he was at the time, but I soon searched his music out, now I’m glad I did.   We were just a warehouse, no manf at all, just boxes and phones, but he was so thrilled to be in ‘VOX USA’, I think he stayed there till we closed, just gleaming with joy. I think back of all the ’stars’ I have stumbled into, few..few were assholes, bad people, that no matter how big they were, they still were assholes.  I know I never got deep into things, but by dealing with amps/guitars, one connected to them on a pure other level.  Maybe that’s why.  Assholes?  Name 1? Greg Lake.  & people in the ‘MantiCore’ offices too, were nasty people.  Led Zep’s mang.  PGrant at least was honest n direct, U knew the score, but his ‘people’ were complete asswipes. Everyone blamed PGrant, but our contact was up front and honest, till his ‘people’ got involved, n Page never knew it save his amp was fixed.  B Whitford too.  Nice guy n family, bad people around him.  He was smart, found better people to be around. But that’s so long old, and to be honest, I got the better hand off the G/Lake deal in the end.  Never hold a grudge to anyone, folks.   ..it sucks when the doctor demands bed rest, and all I got is this KBoard… JJTj

Nope. It’s best 2 be a bad guy/girl.  EVERYONE hates(roots) for the asshole.  Luv them, hate them, U talk about them. In ‘pro’ wrestling, it’s easier to get ‘heat’ then to become a babyface..no matter WHAT talent you had.  Most asswipe heels sold faster then ave b/face(s).  In rock, esp these days, the stupidetiour you act..act being the key word..the better U get over.  Folks need someone who is a bigger (or looks like a bigger) loser then they are.  RmR is like P/Wrestling and a lot of other big words that describe how the public is sold.  Get bums on seats. I was talking about those who were ASSHOLES doing Business, not the life they (show the public) (or) lead.  Greg Lake was, while I was selling HIM a 3-PU lp in NYC, a complete asswipe.  ELP’s front office was full of asswipes.  I got mine later at the Cape Cod Col, where ELP played, n Lake’s roadie (Jon Chichester<sp?>) got to meet a Mass State policeman..and I got my LP back, yrs later by default.  Wish I had it now, I got all the papers.. >..it sucks when the doctor demands bed rest, and all I got is this KBoard… >I guess that could be considered rest.  In relative terms.

D/H are long to recover from, and since I am getting my ‘thoughts’ in order, I spew this online.  I can’t tell you the numbers of people who remember this shit, email me, n later tell me how it moved on.  I also didn’t believe I’m the only guy with such memories, and I’ve met folks who did all this (some on much better levels) on another end of the planet.  Glad I kept SOME of the proof and fun from those days.  Couldn’t make this up if we tried.

The detailed fact that 2 many folks have asked/begged that certain things not be reported, I gotta re-think things ?..  1 example, the CA company (now 3 times removed) Mighty-Mite people asked me to not include some details about a RZ, and so n so n such..  I was there when it happened, right at the door..yet no, since my band did TOO many covers of the ONLY hit single RZ did (called "the Joker"), and I spent time with Randy n his family, oh my gawdess, the legal drugz r kicking in, I won’t go there.. Wanna deal with the whole NYAL and MosCode reality.  George K is one fucking un-sung hero in the tube world.  He put me up in his house for a week, gave me tons of paper, and taught me more then I forgot 2 know.

I was in a band that opened for MC in about 1988 at the old 9:30 club in DC.  It was a two-night stand – Fri and Sat, IIRC.  Opened for him again with another band circa ‘95 at the Bayou (in DC).  He’s a nice guy, great songwriter, and woefully underated (IMO) guitarist. -Scott McKnight

See him live a couple of times and he’s a very under-rated guitarist… And one of the finest pop song writers of the past 20 or so years.

I saw them live a few times back in the 70s, and had a bunch of their albums.  I guess part of the attraction was the simplicity, it wasn’t demanding music, just the thing for teenagers.  And it was fun, they were a no-bullshit band, they didn’t want their audience to join a new religion or change their politics or whatever, they just boogied.  The weird thing is not only are they still together and touring, but that over the decades they has had more hit singles in the UK than *any* band, ever.

Question:

This is what the liberal media DID NOT report or show you. This is hilarious shit! Click the link to see pics of Cindy Sheehan in an empty tent! LOL Another lib bites the dust! http://www.snopes.com/photos/politics/sheehan.asp Origins:   On 26 November 2005, anti-war activist Cindy Sheehan took part in an anti-Iraq war rally held on a one-acre camp site adjacent to the Crawford, Texas, ranch where President Bush was spending the Thanksgiving weekend. Among other activities, Ms. Sheehan participated in a book signing arranged by her publisher for her new book, Not One More Mother’s Child. The turnout for the rally was considerably smaller than the attendance at a similar event held in Crawford in August 2005, reported the Washington Post, due in part to unfavorable weather: Unlike then, when hundreds came from all over the country for major events at the two campsites named after Sheehan’s son, who was killed in Iraq, Sheehan found herself addressing a crowd of only about 100 Saturday afternoon. The large tent where supporters had erected a stage hung with the banner "Speak Truth to Power" was only partially full. In the morning Sheehan signed copies of her new book, being published this week, for an even smaller crowd. The weather did not help. Rain fell hard in central Texas in the early morning before afternoon sunshine but perhaps not before some potential protesters concluded the field and the narrow roads leading to it would be a muddy mess. The pictures displayed here, of a somewhat dejected-looking Cindy Sheehan sitting in a tent at the rally devoid of visitors (other than a few   photographers), were distributed by the Associated Press (AP) and Reuters news agencies and accompanied news reports such as the Washington Post article quoted above. (The AP caption for the first photo read: "Cindy Sheehan waits for people at her book signing near the president’s ranch in Crawford, Tex., where she spoke to a crowd of about 100 people.") A few days after the rally, as reported in Editor & Publisher, Ms. Sheehan and her publisher contended that the photographs had been taken at an inopportune time and misleadingly implied that hardly anyone purchased a copy of Not One More Mother’s Child or attended the book signing event for it: But in a statement today, Sheehan accused "right-wing" sites of "spreading a false story that nobody bought my book at Camp Casey on Saturday. That is not true, I sold all 100 copies and got writer’s cramp signing them. Photos were taken of me before the people got in line to have me sign the book. We made $2000 for the peace house." Her publisher, Arnie Kotler at Koa Books, meanwhile released a letter to her supporters, charging that "AP and Reuters posted photos

My guess is at some point in the not too far future there will be an "accidental" supercritical event at one of the main Iranian nuclear weapons facilities. Isotopic analysis of the fissile residues will be "inconclusive" as to the origins of the material but will point to non-US origin. Claude

Response:

>NY Times & their New Yorker are both well-known left wing "sources" >for unsubstantiated Democratic propaganda…

The NYT’s Judith Miller was a virtual mouthpiece for the administration regarding the Iraq war effort, so it’s hard to see how one can say it publishes "Democratic propaganda" — like most MSM institutions, it tries to walk a fine line between reporting the news and not pissing off the government, and it sometimes succeeds. In this case, the NYT is only reporting on what The New Yorker published, which in this case was a quite detailed and convincing report by Seymour Hirsch, who is widely regarded as one of our greatest and most rigorously accurate investigative journalists — it’s very hard to find incidents where he’s been wrong to any significant degree.  Whether you agree with his conclusions or not his sources are impeccable and his command of the facts has been close to perfect for literally decades.  I wouldn’t bet against him being (at least very close to) right on anything he covers if I were you. – Hide quoted text — Show quoted text ->If this story is even 50% accurate, >http://www.newyorker.com/fact/content/articles/060417fa_fact >this administration is truly insane.  I think they really do want to start >WW III: >S.

WOW, you’re not only an liberal idiot, but you’re an uneducated liberal idiot. No wonder you hate American GIs so much and call them child rapists. Here’s a couple pages from history, only this time, were talking about a nuclear armed Iran: —— "Today, they have created a myth in the name of Holocaust and consider it to be above God, religion and the prophets. If you committed this big crime, then why should the oppressed Palestinian nation pay the price? The establishment of the Zionist regime was a move by the world oppressor against the Islamic world. The skirmishes in the occupied land are part of a war of destiny. The outcome of hundreds of years of war will be defined in Palestinian land. As the Imam said, Israel must be wiped off the map" – Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad Compare with – "And one more thing I would like now to state on this day memorable perhaps not only for us Germans. I have often been a prophet in my life and was generally laughed at. During my struggle for power, the Jews primarily received with laughter my prophecies that I would someday assume the leadership of the state and thereby of the entire nation and then, among many other things, achieve a solution of the Jewish problem. I suppose that meanwhile the laughter of Jewry in Germany that resounded then is probably already choking in their throats. Today I want to be a prophet again. If international finance Jewry within Europe and abroad should succeed once more in plunging the peoples into a world war, then the consequence will be not the Bolshevization of the world and therewith a victory of Jewry, but on the contrary, the destruction of the Jewish race in Europe." – Adolf Hitler, January 30, 1939

LOL! All of Europe has been trying to negotiate with Iran because they firmly believe Iran is going to get nukes. Only an uneducated Lib would say "It was like this in Iraq, so it must be like this in Iran". That’s why we can never win another war – the Libs constantly undermine their own country.

Exactly. Libs always see one thing, one way. They are simple minded and will do anything to undermine their own country. They have a lust for power at all costs, even if it means defeat of their nation, because to the lib, gay marriage, abortion and the rest of their whacked lifestyle are more important than anything else.

First, what do you think WMDs are, anyway? Chemical? Biological? Nukes? What do you think Saddam did with the stockpile of chemical weapons he had? The corrupt UN sent inspectors with enough lead time to move them. What do you think he did? Bury them? Move them to Syria? Or do you think Iraq never had chemical weapons in the first place?

Some of ‘em may be smarter.  But probably not James Gluck, the guy who collect the ingredients to make a deadly poison, then actually wrote a letter to the judges that he planned to "wage biological warfare".  (By the way, he got out in 2001.)  And probably not Donald Beauregard, the head of the Southeastern States Alliance, who "claimed to have discovered a secret map detailing a planned UN takeover mistakenly printed on a box of Trix cereal".  (He was released in ‘04.)

Question:

In case you haven’t been following the election results in Iraq….the results so far (could be a while before we have the final results) show that the country will now be ruled with heavy influence from the Shia religious coalition and the Sunni Arab Parties (who provided a great deal of support to the insurgents, by the way)–a major victory in their view and a stunning upset for the candidates supported by the US and Great Britain. This can’t be what GWB had in mind, in his vision for a democratic Iraq.  It will be anything *but* what we consider "democratic."  Rather, putting a religious fundamentalist government in control will create a new Taliban (more or less). Iran is pleased with the results so far, as the Shia Religious Parties, the ones they supported in the election, have won a strong majority.  No doubt, they’ll be looking to establish close ties with the new government….more bad news for GWB. In fact, it couldn’t be much worse…the parties who opposed the US/British the most, are the very parties who’ve won major victories. This should just about do it for the reputation of GWB.  We have been misled into the war with his grand vision of "saving" the Iraqis from a tyrant, only to watch him muck the job royally….and then leave the country in even worse circumstances. Add to this, his plan of establishing favorable US influence in the region…has now blown up in his face…and this could go down as one of the biggest military and political blunders in history. Here’s a quote from The Independant: "The break-up of Iraq has been brought closer by the election. The great majority of people who went to the polls voted as Shia, Sunni or Kurds – and not as Iraqis. The forces pulling Iraq apart are stronger than those holding it together. The election, billed by Mr Bush and Mr Blair as the birth of a new Iraqi state may in fact prove to be its funeral." Nice work, GW.  What’s next on the "war on terror" agenda, now that this part has gone so well?  Iran?  North Korea? How about…..impeachment? Mike

What an idiot! Do you even know what a democracy is? A democracy *isn’t* forcing candidates supported by the US and England into power. In fact, that would just be the opposite. And do you know what a constitution is? It’s something whoever is in power will have to govern by. Yep, America is mostly Christian and so are our leaders.

This is all part of a brilliant strategy on Bush’s part. By installing an Islamofascist regime in Iraq that is allied with terrorists, he creates an excellent justification for invading Iraq. Sure, he invaded before he had the justification in place, but nobody’s perfect.

Question:

Judge Rules Against Pa. Biology Curriculum By MARTHA RAFFAELE (Associated Press) HARRISBURG, Pa. – "Intelligent design" cannot be mentioned in biology classes in a Pennsylvania public school district, a federal judge said Tuesday, ruling in one of the biggest courtroom clashes on evolution since the 1925 Scopes trial. Dover Area School Board members violated the Constitution when they ordered that its biology curriculum include the notion that life on Earth was produced by an unidentified intelligent cause, U.S. District Judge John E. Jones III said. Several members repeatedly lied to cover their motives, he said. "The citizens of the Dover area were poorly served by the members of the Board who voted for the ID Policy," Jones wrote, calling the board’s decision "breathtaking inanity." "The students, parents, and teachers of the Dover Area School District deserved better than to be dragged into this legal maelstrom, with its resulting utter waste of monetary and personal resources," he wrote. The plaintiffs challenging the policy argued that intelligent design amounts to a secular repackaging of biblical creationism, which the courts have already ruled cannot be taught in public schools. The judge agreed. "We find that the secular purposes claimed by the Board amount to a pretext for the Board’s real purpose, which was to promote religion in the public school classroom," he wrote in his 139-page opinion. Said the judge: "It is ironic that several of these individuals, who so staunchly and proudly touted their religious convictions in public, would time and again lie to cover their tracks and disguise the real purpose behind the ID Policy."

Something else from the Right that I have spoken out about, that you consistantly ignore. You’re getting Ignorance down as an art form. See ya, John

You’ve got to have something to agree about with your liberal "friends" or they might find out what you really believe.

To my mind it accords better with what we know of the laws impressed on matter by the Creator, that the production and extinction of the past and present inhabitants of the world should have been due to secondary causes, like those determining the birth and death of the individual. . . . There is grandeur in this view of life . . . having been originally breathed by the Creator into a few forms or into one; and that . . . from so simple a beginning endless forms most beautiful and most wonderful have been, and are being evolved.

There is no real fight between Darwin’s idea of evolution and the Creation….only an interpretation of the origin and time passing since then.

BTW, BAM! sounds like the brand of peanut-butter sold in the Rice Food Markets in Houston, TX, 40 some-odd years ago (yeah, it was BAMA, aamof)…..or were you just imitating Emeril?  :-)

I prefer to believe like some indigenous inhabitants of Asia, that the world is supported on the backs of giant turtles.

Response:

Hah! That’s a joke. No way can a bunch of turtles hold up the world…it’s obviously Galapagos Tortoises! M

"I have discovered that I also live in ‘creation’s dawn.’ The morning stars still sing together, and the world, not yet half made, becomes more beautiful every day." About the Design A well known scientist (some say it was Bertrand Russell) once gave a public lecutre on astronomy. He described how the earth orbits around the sun, and how the sun, in turn, orbits around the center of a vast collection of stars called our galaxy. At the end of the lecture, a little old lady in the back of the room got up and said: "What you have told is is rubbish. The world is really a flat plate suppported on the back of a giant tortoise." The scientist gave a superior smile before replying, "What is the tortoise standing on?" "You’re very clever young man, very clever," said the old lady. "but it’s turtles all the way down!" – from A Brief History of Time by Stephen Hawking. http://www.sierraclub.org/john_muir_exhibit/pictures/muir_earth_turtl…
