Did Muleboy get playpenned? I hope so. These past few days have been great.
Nope, just offline. Maybe he forgot his password..................
Just don't say his name three times.
Nah, Mule is like a tornado he drops out of the sky without notice, wrecks havoc and then disappears for a while until the next favorable storm conditions. 😛
Call me crazy but I actually enjoy his rants. Always good for a few laughs.

He used the term "typical liberal" 10,000 times which exceeded the counter limit, and he got redirected to his pal, Warren's site so he can educate everyone on the music of Gov't Mule.

Why do you want to see someone playpenned? How much fun would it be here if it was limited only to people that agreed with each other?
c'mon alloak, he's not a serious poster. I would never want you, doughron, fujirich, and any other conservative to be playpenned. He was not a conservative....he was a troll looking to disrupt the site and cause trouble. Isn't that obvious?

How appropriate.
I just finished a week of ESF meetings and tonight I’m am heading to Austin for The National Hurricane conference.
Austin has a great music scene mostly on the outskirts of town.
One of the “groups” at the NHC will be DHS’s FEMA folks.
They are always fun to have around as they never have anything to contribute and spend most of their time at the buffet tables and bars.
I do love the liberals. Every time one of them post it validates my opinions.

Man I saw her on Bill Maher and she was one cold fish. While the other panelists were bantering in good nature she would get really mad if anyone disagreed with her. I don't think she smiled the whole show.
Just found this on the net and if she really said this I really hope she does run and participates in the GOP debates.

Looks like Rubio is a real winner.
Does Rubio have a spending problem?
By Sean Sullivan May 20 at 10:00 AM
Marco Rubio made $174,000 as a U.S. senator last year. He earned an additional $52,000 from book royalties and a university teaching position, and at least $5,000 more from rental property.And yet the 43-year-old Florida Republican also made what is typically viewed as a desperate financial maneuver — cashing out nearly $70,000 in retirement funds.
As Rubio runs for president, newly disclosed personal finance details have drawn fresh attention to a long-running problem during his political career: his struggles with money.
Rubio is one of the least wealthy senators or presidential candidates, offering a potential contrast with rivals such as Hillary Rodham Clinton (D), who charges eye-popping sums to deliver speeches, and Jeb Bush (R), who comes from a well-heeled family.
But the problem isn’t so much his income; it’s his spending. Over the years, Rubio’s spending habits have drawn regular scrutiny from opponents and have put him in an uncomfortable spot.
In his 2010 Senate campaign, for example, Rubio battled attacks over his questionable usage of a Republican Party credit card for personal expenses. He also purchased a stake in a rental home that at one point faced foreclosure and is now likely to be sold for less than the purchase price.
In new disclosure forms filed by Rubio last week, he revealed that he sold $68,241 worth of retirement funds last September. Experts say such a move tends to reflect an extraordinary need for immediate cash, since it comes with a sizeable tax penalty.
“It means that he is probably on some level living above his means because he is borrowing against his future,” said Boston University economist Laurence Kotlikoff.
In an interview on “Fox News Sunday,” Rubio explained that he needed “access to cash” for personal expenses and in anticipation of running for president. He said he has at least two other active retirement accounts.
“My refrigerator broke down,” Rubio said. “That was $3,000. I had to replace the air-conditioning unit in our home. My kids all go to school and they are getting closer to college and school’s getting more expensive.”
Rubio and his wife Jeanette have four children in private schools. In total, they pay about $40,000 in tuition per school year.
Florida Democratic strategist Christian Ulvert said Rubio’s explanation could be politically problematic.
“Most average Americans are not buying a $3,000 refrigerator,” he said. “Most families don’t have the luxury of sending their kids to private schools.”
Rubio placed 456 out of 538 in Roll Call’s rankings of Capitol Hill’s wealthiest lawmakers. Rubio was in the red, according to the 2013 data, with a net worth of negative $140,000.
On the campaign trail, Rubio emphasizes his humble roots, noting that he is the son of Cuban immigrants who worked as a bartender and a maid. He frequently notes that until recently, he was saddled with student loan debt.
“I think it’s going to be really interesting because both Bush and Clinton are going to try to stress that they’re in touch with the middle class, but everybody knows they are both millionaires,” said University of South Florida political scientist Susan MacManus.
By his own acknowledgment, however, Rubio is far from destitute. His presidential financial disclosure shows he has made between $100,001 and $1,000,000 from his latest book, “American Dreams.” Rubio’s 2014 income alone — his wife’s income isn’t clear — puts his household into the top five percent nationally, according to recent Census data.
When he ran for the Senate in 2010, Rubio faced heat from then-Republican opponent Charlie Crist over his use of a credit card issued to him by the Florida Republican Party. Rubio had to defend himself against charges that he didn’t practice the fiscal conservatism he praised publicly.
Records obtained at the time by the St. Petersburg Times and the Miami Herald showed that Rubio used the card to spend $1,000 to repair a family vehicle, $135 at a barbershop — he said it was for a “silent auction” — and about $3,000 on flights that he said were charged as the result of a billing mistake. He reimbursed the state GOP for the flights and said he paid for the other personal expenses that he charged to the card.
Rubio addressed his finances in his 2012 book, “An American Son.”
“Yes, I have debts. But my debts are not some exotic instruments contrived to support my extravagant lifestyle,” Rubio wrote. “They consist almost entirely of two things: my mortgages on my two homes and my student loan from law school.”
When Rubio left the Florida state House in 2008, his net worth was about $8,300, according to his filing with the state. By that point in his career, Rubio was making about $300,000 annually as a lawyer at the firm Broad and Cassel. He had more than $900,000 in debt, according to his filing, including the student loan he has since paid off.
[For Marco Rubio, a question of friendship vs. politics]
Rubio’s latest filing shows his remaining debt, like that of many Americans, is tied to housing. He and his wife have between $450,000 and $1,000,000 in debt from mortgages and a home equity credit line.
One of the mortgages is for a Tallahassee house he bought in 2005 with embattled former congressman David Rivera (R), a longtime ally. That purchase is shaping up as an investment gone wrong. The two were once served with a foreclosure notice on the property and they recently put the home on the market for $125,000 — $10,000 less than they paid for it, as Politico first reported.
Rubio’s close relationship with billionaire businessman and philanthropist Norman Braman, a longtime backer, highlights another unorthodox element of his family’s finances.
Rubio’s wife, Jeanette, owns an event planning business that does work for the Braman Family Foundation. Her business was valued at between $15,001 and $50,000, according to Marco Rubio’s latest financial disclosure. His campaign said that her revenue came exclusively from her work for the Braman foundation.
“The wonderful thing about what she does — it’s not just the advice, it’s also making sure that the funding that we provide is utilized properly,” Braman said in a March interview with The Washington Post.
Braman and his daughter, Debra Wechsler, declined to say how much or how Jeanette Rubio is paid. “We pay her,” Wechsler said. “It takes a lot of her time.”
Even at the dawn of his career in the state legislature, money weighed on Rubio’s mind. His cash problems were so severe that in 2001 he confronted the possibility that he might need to leave politics in to provide for his family.
In “An American Son,” Rubio recalls praying in church as he braced for the possibility of resigning from the state House. Afterward, he got call from a law firm offering him a pay increase.
“I had just been on my knees in prayer asking God’s help,” he writes. “Now, a door suddenly appeared to open and offer me a way out of my predicament.”

Ben Carson:
Carson Compared Marriage Equality Advocates To Pedophiles, Described Marriage Equality As "Extra Rights"
In his speech earlier this year to the conservative CPAC conference, Carson argued that gay people shouldn't be allowed to "get extra rights" and that "they don't get to redefine marriage."
It was a continuation of his incendiary rhetoric on homosexuality.
In a 2013 appearance on Fox's Hannity, Carson said, "Marriage is between a man and a woman. No group, be they gays, be they NAMBLA, be they people who believe in bestiality, it doesn't matter what they are. They don't get to change the definition."
After those comments, students and staff at Johns Hopkins Medical School criticized Carson, who was scheduled to be the commencement speaker for the class of 2013. He pushed back on these complaints by attacking white liberals as "the most racist people there are" because "they put you in a little category, a little box, 'you have to think this way, how could you dare come off the plantation?'"
In his 2012 book, Carson said marriage equality "is a slippery slope with a disastrous ending, as witnessed in the dramatic fall of the Roman Empire."
Carson Praised Vladimir Putin As He Attacked America
In a column Carson praised Russia's Vladimir Putin for describing America as "godless," saying "there may be some validity to his claim."
Carson Questioned The Ethics Of People Who Support The Theory Of Evolution
Carson said people who believe in the scientific theory of evolution "might have more difficulty deriving where their ethics come from," compared to "Those of us who believe in God and derive our sense of right and wrong and ethics from God's word" who "have no difficulty whatsoever defining where our ethics come from."
In an interview with an anti-evolution podcast, Carson claimed that "one of the most damning pieces of evidence against evolution is the human genome" because it contains "sophisticated coding mechanisms" which are proof of an intelligent designer in its creation.
Another real winner - Jeb.
I'm no Jeb fan, but I think Jeb has been getting skewered unfairly about his answer to this question. I believe his explanation, i.e. that he misinterpreted the question and really thought he was asnwering whether he would have made the same decision knowing what his brother new AT THE TIME, not in applying hindsight. Unfortunately this "gotcha" moment will be used against him and will probably be effective on some level, but I don't think it is fair and it is a non-starter for me.
