“September Storm” a poem by NoQuarter commenter Patrick Henry
The Eleventh of September was Solemn
Scenes of Sadness..Suffering..Smoke and Fire
As The Cameras Rolled Relentlessly On
Showing the Death Dance of the Twins…..
Airplane Arrows Pierced Their Hearts and Ours
Staring in Wonder At the Madness of Madmen
Called Terrorists and Ji Hadists…and Extremists
Killers Whose Heaven is Hell .Making.. [...]

President Obama I wanted you to lift me up. I was really hoping that finally I would feel what my wife feels, hear what my co-workers hear. I wanted to be inspired.
I wanted reasons to get on board, reasons to join those other 84%.
Today, you did not succeed.
This entire country, Dems and Repubs, [...]

Ugh, but I must give credit where it is due. As first reported by Rush, the largest slime ball on the planet.
It appears that it may not have been skill or luck that saved those people in New York yesterday. Further examination of the pilot and crew reveal that the pilot Chesley B. “Sully” Sullenberger [...]

Susan’s Apology: Somehow I missed this draft by NewHampster, and just discovered it today. It’s rather late to be posting it, but the story is so important that I will anyway. Thank you, NewHampster, for reminding us about one of the darkest days in our nation’s history.

Ahh! Newsweek(which I call Newsweak) makes my week once more with this weeks cover story titled, “What would Dick do?” and inside as “Obama’s Cheney Dilemma”.

Editor’s Note:
Stay tuned for more to come on this from our writers.
This gross insult will get the FULL “No Quarter” treatment. That means you, Ms. magazine, and you, Barack Obama, who exploited sexism and misogyny to gain male voters, and continue with your selection of sexist males for prominent roles, including in [...]

So, Politico says that our old friend Joe is already making good on his promise to liven up the gossip in DC.
Joe Biden hasn’t said much in public since the election, but one of Washington’s most prolific talkers is back – and making news whenever he speaks.
In fewer than five minutes on Tuesday, Biden criticized [...]

Some of us were having some chuckles over the fact that Judas Richardson got his due. Now I know everyone is loving this and fully expects him to just be the first of many. But we also realized that we don’t want this scum riding under our bus.

Bless you and your family. May your new year be filled with wonder, if not some jail time.
This episode has made my week and my month. The totally unexpected slap-down of yesterday’s appointment was so perfectly timed that I think Blago must have some experience working with the Second City troop.
So. Harry and PEBO want [...]

The New Global Elite
This week is the year end, double issue featuring the most powerful people in the world. They call them The Global Elite. Elite and proud of it would be my conjecture.

I respectfully disagree with the editors of TIME who are after all just a bunch of business people trying to sell glossy paper. As they say many times, the Person of the Year is not necessarily a good person, it is the person or persons who had the most effect this year.
