    Doucheface Brad Blakeman asks, when a world leader talks about our currency that way, shouldn’t we push back?Let me answer that question with a few of my own.Did I miss the part where China called the dollar slutty?Are you in the 7th grade?What exactly is an amendment banning us from adopting foreign currency going to do to prevent other countries from using money other than the dollar?Why is the best solution for republicans always the the most irrational and ineffective one?

    The only thing the Repubes know how to do is posture.

    And Torture.

    When the world chose the USD as the default currency of exchange the USD was the most stable currency and the Euro did not exist.One of the things Bush accomplished was to make the value of the USD very unstable. It’s value has been jumping around like a roo on a hotplate. I have been expecting the Euro to become the currency of exchange for some time now. I’m not at all surprised that China is asking for a change. I don’t think they’ll get an international currency and I expect that the Euro will become the default exchange currency.Michele is an idiot. These changes so not effect our currency in any way other than recognizing that it is an unstable currency that no one whats to hold on to any more. It’s her party that made it that way.

    Hi Jane,Who did we torture?

  • GItheJOE

    Truth, what time does mommy put you to bed? I want to make sure I trash you thoroughly beforehand.

  • TruthSerum

    Bring it on GI! Everyone is safe and sound and can sleep comfortably. However over 3,000 Americans were incinerated in the towers on 9/11. Because of waterboarding Khaled Sheik Mohammed provided critical information that allowed federal agents to intercept a major attack in the continental US. When it comes to attacks on American civilians the ends justify the means to protect them.Welcome to the world.

  • fe

    yep, what we got here is a chronic allergy to reality.bonsoir, mes amies.

  • gypsy

    you know you love the bob when you spend more time trying to figure out how to “digg” his article on huffington post than you did on getting your taxes together! and i still think i didn’t get it accomplished!truthy, you might want to ask those poor dudes that got shocked in the ass at gitmo about torture! also, everyone suffering in this economic crisis!

  • Kat

    Seriously, Truth? KSM has admitted giving completely shitty fake confessions under torture, you idiot.

  • dontpanic23

    What kind of life must Toothy have? Would any of you want to spend every evening hanging out somewhere just to be disagreeable? I’ve never understood the troll mindset. Seems like such a waste of life.

  • gypsy

    dp, he likes pain and jane likes giving it! i can see the appeal… ;)

  • TruthSerum

    Yes Kat, you dope of a douche. Your Hero confessed to masterminding the 911 attacks and killing Daniel Pearl and identfied domestic terrorists planning to bomb the Brooklyn Bridge and the midtown tunnel at rush hour.So where is the outrage? Today US drones killed 14 people in Pakistan! Have we declared war in Pakistan? Isn’t this illegal? Is BO now a war criminal as well? The Pakistanis claim that all 14 were civilians, including 3 children.

  • dontpanic23

    OK, everybody shift to the parallel PTT. Ready…poof

  • SillyRatfacedGit

    Yeah Kat.He gave good info up until they started torturing him after which he made shit up. Someone said we wasted about 40 million dollars on wild goose chases.Interrogation experts all say that torture is counterproductive for getting useful intelligence. It was Cheney that insisted otherwise. The man is a know-it-all asshat on steroids.

  • TruthSerum

    Dontpanic23….I get terribly bored at night when I have to write…and unfortunately for you I am burned out and procrastinate and read the news which lead to me Bob’s blog and here. Then for ridiculous reasons posted a blog that was inflammatory and got a kick out of the rabid response.Quite frankly you all seem like a very nice group of folks who all get along and are genuinely happy with our new president. I actually agree with most of your viewpoints but present counter arguments for my own immature entertainment. I read the conservative blogs…HotAir and Ace of Spades, but they are boring.Bob has blocked me numerous times and as a challenge I learned how to change my IP address.You are right DP23, I need to focus on my work and I bid you all farewell for good. This troll is packing up his keyboard and heading off into the sunset.I hope that GI the Joe excels in school and gets home from Korea safely. I hope that Silly Rat Faced Git brews the best beer ever and that Matt Osborne’s book is a best seller.

  • Kat

    It really must suck having a penis that small, Truth.

  • Kat

    I don’t have cable anymore, so y’all are going to have to let me know which moments on KO and Rachel are YouTube-worthy. And Keith has a special comment tonight?!?!

  • ceu

    oh, truthy…you really are a ray of sunshine, aren’t you, you dickbreathed asshole.

  • gypsy

    truthy that was nice! see guys, that is why i always give “this one” a chance.

  • dontpanic23

    Tooth, I think you might be appreciated more if you presented different viewpoints on the threads that are more political. This is more like happy hour. Sometimes politics is the issue and sometimes it is breasts.

  • dontpanic23

    …and only if you behave. If Bob has banned you from the Cesca proper discussions then you probably broke the rules.

  • AdyLeigh

    Psst…DP make that mean man go away, please. You and Jane do it. GO! He’s crazy.

  • GItheJOE

    FUCK ME!!!It is going to be Colin Powell who runs. He is the new face of the GOP. I hope he waits until 2016.

  • gypsy

    why do you say that joe? that kinda made me nervous until i thought about the republican base!

  • dontpanic23

    Crap, I’m on 5 minute DVR delay. Dogs needed a pee. Powell is on now. WTF is up with Ed Schultz at 6pm and what happens to Shuster and his 2 hours I just read about on Twitter? He gets 2 hours when? I wish the fuck they’d get rid of a repeat of Hardball but he’s probably grandfathered in for a century.

  • GItheJOE

    gypsy, he is perfect! War Hero, Obama already broke the “Black Ceiling”, he can challenge the retarded base, he is homophobic, etc.

  • gypsy

    can you imagine powell debating palin or jindal?! hehe…bloodbath! but the sad thing is that they would probably nominate palin!

  • AdyLeigh

    Powell’s more than homophobic. He helped lead the U.S. into the Iraq War too. And he’s lying on tee vee to Rachel right now…

  • GItheJOE

    Ady, I didn’t say I would vote for him or he is a quality guy. I just think he could be the new face for the GOP. You know SMART.

  • Alex

    Hmmm, smart would be a little less laughable/infuriating..

  • gypsy

    joe, i want to you repeat your theory nowhere! NOWHERE!!!! in fact, bob, can you delete the mention of powell in this thread completely?!

  • AdyLeigh

    Oh, I know Joe. I wasn’t implying that you would. You’re right, though. He’s smart and I think he would be a helluva an opponent.

  • GItheJOE

    SEE!If I/WE are afraid of him, he is the guy.GOP, NOMINATE COLIN POWELL IN 2012!!!

  • gypsy

    JOE! are you smoking crack?! shut the fuck up! said in the most loving way… ;)

  • GItheJOE

    G-Dog,Obama would crush POWELL in 2012. The sooner the better. Obama’s approval rating will be about 75% in 2012. I am seeing the SPLURGE working in Bumfuck, PA. I live next to a steel and concrete plant and they are working the night shift now. I am seeing bridges being rebuilt. Potholes are going away. This is all new to bumfuck, PA. Obama’s Stimulus is working and it will be in full swing by 2012.

  • gypsy

    i don’t want to take the chance! i want their nominee to be so crazy obama doesn’t even have to try really!

  • GItheJOE

    Trying is part of the fun. Remember how you felt on 11/4? I do. I cried like a baby.

  • AdyLeigh

    I was crying too and had to be picked up off the floor. After I calmed down, it took a couple weeks for me to actually believe it was real.Powell doesn’t scare me. I’m sure I’ll be out there working the streets for Obama in 2011 and 2012. The southerners will be in TOTAL shock if they have to pick between two black men, though. Hilarious!

  • AdyLeigh

    That last comment I made sounds pretty bad. I meant that I would be working the streets for Obama’s CAMPAIGN.

  • dontpanic23

    Heh, streetwalking as a campaign tactic. Funny.
