This just over Jerbal’s fabled “transom” from VoteVets.org:
Since last year, at VoteVets.org and our blog, VetVoice.com, we’ve stressed the need to pass clean energy legislation, and break our dependence on foreign oil, profits from which help fund our enemies. Today, we’re putting over $1 million behind a new ad that makes it perfectly clear – as Washington stays asleep on this issue, our enemies are getting bolder and richer. (Click here to help keep this ad on the air.)
Earlier in the month, we unveiled a poll, made up 45 percent self-identified Republicans, all Iraq or Afghanistan veterans, which showed nearly three-quarters of Iraq and Afghanistan veterans want clean energy legislation passed, and passed now.
It’s for all of those veterans, who have seen what a well-funded enemy means for our troops and American security that we’re putting so much behind this ad, and this issue. But we need you with us. Please donate here to keep our ad on the air!
Together, we’ll get this legislation passed, but it will mean that we all stand together. So, please, take a moment to click the link above.Sincerely,
Richard Allen Smith

Forget clean air for now. How about focusing on the wars!
Ah, you wanna say that to the VETS who put this together? Chickenhawk? Yeah, I’m talking to you, ACME.

Our enemies? Cool. Everybody stay away from Canada. They’re all mine.
Middleground, proving nothing again, but with pizazz!
Speaking of enemies, I’m reading that Faisal Shahzad (The Times Square Bomber) may be a registered democrat. Are you getting your info via pony express on this one? Because I haven’t seen anything about him here. I’m just kidding. I wouldn’t expect you to report on it. Though I am waiting for matthews, olbermann and maddow to commit hari kari.
Did you see somewhere outside my office door, “Guy who now has to write about every little thing in the news, including losers who make shitty bombs that don’t go off.” No? You know why? because I don’t have a sign like that outside my office door.
If this loser is a registered Democrat (I didn’t even know he was a citizen!) I’m sure you will let us know, and also explain what that has to do with anything and why we should care. That’s YOUR job, bud.
Raise your Leboon a Hutaree?

“Then I guess these whackos, also arrested this weekend (for plotting to kill policemen) must be Republicans, since they’re against the government and the U. N., love weapons, and call themselves “Christian.”

“…every little thing in the news” Yeah right. Little ONLY because this times square guy wasn’t some tim mcveigh tea party member. freaking double standard liberal $%@#*)
Vern,
This is going to be my last OJ comment. First I want to say Thank You. You’ve been more than fair. Not one deleted comment. You’re also the most intelligent “left of center” blogger I’ve gone against. Good job. And I know that your heart is in the right place. In the end, that’s all that really matters.
adios
And WHY did I write “Raise your Leboon a Hutaree?” (besides the fun names) Because YOU and others were making a big deal that Leboon was an old Obama supporter threatening a Republican. Otherwise I probably wouldn’t have bothered. You all make it an immature game.
Don’t go away mad! Take a break and come back around the Ides of May. Am I right that you’re in Florida? You from out here? What’s EDT stand for anyway?
