loser

It looks like RedState master mind Erik Erickson has declared war on Levi Johnson (via Sully):

The real Levi Johnson is something altogether different. The left, when it decided Bristol Palin was fair game, went after Levi Johnson for being a thug and redneck. He was not interested in college — only in scoring with the Governor’s daughter. The classic tale of the high school jock who is, in essence, a low life loser in it for a good time. The left and media regaled the rest of us with tales of what a loser the Palin kid slept with.

The left was right. Now, though, they can’t be bothered by it. Below is the actual Levi — no preppy clothes. No polish. Just good old boy who knocked up the Governor’s daughter. Not exactly the image Tyra Banks and he would like you to think about.

What’s even more creepy is that the other person in the picture is his sister. And, as if lifted from the pages of Deliverance, she has his name tattooed on her back finger. Think about that one for a minute.

Yup Levi – you better watch out or Erik might get ya! Hell he’s already starting with the implications of inbreeding.

How this is going to be fun and hey Erik – how’s “Operation Leper” going?

That’s a very serious question for a very serious issue:

The housing crisis is hitting military families particularly hard, according to real estate agents and service member advocacy groups. Many who bought during the boom and must now relocate because of fresh orders are faced with selling their homes at a big loss. They are finding few buyers, or even renters, particularly in the hardest-hit markets. That is leaving some families facing options including renting at a loss, separation from their loved ones or, in some cases, foreclosure.

Rick Santelli called people who are losing their homes “losers”. So why is the right making a person calling our brave soldiers losers into such a hero of their own? Fighting in a war is a loser, but calling those fighting that war “loser” is a hero? Wow the Republican party really has changed.

At least the Democrats still have nothing but respect and love for our troops.

Now that we have a Democrat taking over 1600 Pennsylvania Ave. and Democrats controlling Congress, can we look at a serious budget cut? I'm of course talking about the bullshit "war on drugs". So far this year our governments (federal and state) have spent close to $44 billion on this never ending war. It's like the "war on terror" in the sense that it is a war that can not be won.

A good starting point would be to go ahead and legalize marijuana. Marijuana is healthier than cigarettes and with our dying economy, could provide a big boost in the way of manufacturing and taxing. We need to face that fact that doing drugs doesn't make someone a loser in life. If you think so, then here is a nice list of people who have used drugs in the past and still went on to greatness, including our new President.

Let's also think about the savings of incarcerating people for drug use. If people weren't locked up for smokin' a doob, then we wouldn't spend tens of thousands per year to house them in prison, just so they go out there and do it again.

America has the highest incarceration rate of any country in the world. We also have the some of the toughest drug laws in the world. Coincidence? I don't think so. So please President Obama, Majority Leader Reid and Speak Pelosi, let's start looking at this huge sinker tied around the neck of the American tax payer and rid ourselves of it once and for all. If we learned anything from prohibition it's that it didn't work.

This poll from Rasmussen shows how bad of an issue Ayers has been for McCain:

Just 28% of voters believe that John McCain’s campaign has been helped by talking about the relationship between Barack Obama and William Ayers. A Rasmussen Reports national telephone survey found that 50% believe talk of that issue has hurt McCain’s effort while 15% say it has had no impact.

The day of effective right-wing smear tactics is coming to an end.

The flight crew has provided barf bags for the following!

TBogg puts it best:

We would normally say that Michelle Malkin has jumped the shark, but, well, quite frankly it doesn't look like she could jump a curb.

I am still pondering how a person can call someone a loser while making that video. Pot - meet kettle!

Lieberman just said in his speech that people can go to his site, joe2006.com, once it has been "unhacked". Well I decided to go to his site and check out if their problems were fixed and interesting enough I got a 503 error. For those who are not up on web server errors, 503 signifies high useage. This is what happens when your site has to much traffic and your hosting company throttles your processor useage. For those who have been reading this blog since I made my move, you will remember those errors as they are the same ones I received when I was on the same server as Joe is now and had only 500-1000 hits per WEEK.

I hit refresh a couple of times and was able to finally get in and this is all his site was showing:

He is still saying his site was hacked, even with his "new" hosting company showing errors that specifically say he is just getting too many hits. Instead of capitalizing on that fact by saying "wow I got a lot of people interested in me", Joe goes to a low level. Joe has decided to make this a political attack and falsley accuse people of attacking his site. Numerous technical people around the internet have tried to advise Joe on this and some even offered him help, as well as server space. He wants to make this into a legal issue now. I hope that when the facts come out that the U.S. Attorney's office decides to tell Joe Lieberman about his false claims and they look at charging him for their time or charge him with filing a false report.
