[Nimrod's Son]

How out of touch is Harry Reid??

Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, D-Nev., is so upset about Republican spending cuts that he's brought out the big guns: Accusing the GOP of being so heartless they would de-fund the National Endowment for the Humanities, which underwrites a cowboy poetry festival in his state:

“The mean-spirited bill, H.R. 1, eliminates National Public Broadcasting," said Reid in a floor speech. "It eliminates the National Endowment of the Humanities, National Endowment of the Arts. These programs create jobs. The National Endowment of the Humanities is the reason we have in northern Nevada every January a cowboy poetry festival. Had that program not been around, the tens of thousands of people who come there every year would not exist.”

The real question here should be why the fuck were taxpayers funding a Cowboy Poetry Hootenanny in the first place?

i love how concerned you are with things that cost like maybe a thousand dollars and aren't really worried about the macro level problems that are destroying the entire fabric of our country

yes lets get outraged about a cowboy poetry jamboree in nevada. again, you combine all the "dumb stuff" you don't like that's funded by govt money it would account for less than 1%. I don't care if it's frivolous or not I want you to come back with some billions wasted on bullshit but we already know what that is, and the real left is against the wars and the outrageous defense department so there's nothing to say to piss off liberals

Hi Trots

Harry Reid is the one getting outraged about it unless you missed it.

Obviously we should be cutting all of the absolutely USELESS spending first, like cowboy hootenannies, right? I figure everyone can get on board with that?

btw I've said time and time again to cut the defense budget, eliminate most of the TSA and DHS for starters and cut all foreign aid

[Trotskilicious]

i don't think it's useless since nobody in this country seems to appreciate anything but doofy singing teenagers doing manufactured, shiny pop covers of all your popular favorites (lol!!!) on television

but you gotta know that event is wack and filled with wack poets reciting nothing but wackness so i guess i'll have to grudgingly agree with you

[Trotskilicious]

by the way if you want to cut the defense dept be prepared for the unemployment rate to jack up over 15%. defense is our only major manufacturing center since they can't outsource that labor.

this was an incredibly depressing realization I had the other day...I mean i knew the military industrial complex was bad but now it's nearly the entirety of our manufacturing economy.

Lieberman pushes Obama to issue cybersecurity executive order
Published: 6:17 PM 09/26/2012

Independent Sen. Joe Lieberman’s cybersecurity bill failed to gain majority support in the Senate in August, but now he is pushing for President Obama to issue an executive order to compensate.

Lieberman was the lead co-sponsor of the failed Cybersecurity Act of 2012, a controversial bill that sought to give the federal government regulatory control over the cybersecurity standards of water, power and utility companies.

Republicans, who offered their own preferred cybersecurity bills, battled the Democrats on the issue all the way to the August congressional recess.

In a letter to President Barack Obama Monday, Lieberman urged the administration to use the president’s “executive authority to the maximum extent possible to defend the nation from cyber attack.” (RELATED: White House nears completion of cybersecurity executive order)

DHS Secretary Janet Napolitano testified in a congressional hearing last week, stating that the order is “close to completion.”

[Order 66]

i don't know how i feel about that in particular but i think people underestimate how devastating a cyber attack could be. if china (or some other entity) really wanted to they could wipe out financial market data and send us back to the stone age in a heartbeat. people don't seem to weigh that out

[Nimrod's Son]

i'm not sure if you're up on current internet technologies, but the cyber attack you're suggesting is impossible. at best they could disrupt traffic, but all information is stored offline as well and is easy to replicate back.

you should just be against anything joe Lieberman does by default

in the future wars will be fought on the internet

yeah isnt that how its done

[Order 66]

well he'll be out of our hair soon enough

funny how losing 2000 and 2004 were mixed blessings because of the VPs

[Order 66]

in ways lieberman was even a worse pick than palin because if he was never propelled to the spotlight he probably wouldn't be near as obnoxious as he ended up being

i had already hated him as a kid because of his anti-videogame crusading

edwards is obviously a complete bastard w/r/t his personal life but as far as his politics go i don't think he is near as big a disaster as joe

i mean who cares though, the vp doesn't do anything
