tanbark commented on the blog post Dreamworks Begins Shooting Wikileaks Film Today, “The Fifth Estate”
Whatever he looks like, Cumberbatch is a hell of an actor. In everything I’ve seen him I’m in; “Sherlock”; “To the Ends of the Earth”, etc., he was excellent.
Right now, his word-of-mouth in the acting community is in process of making him a “hot property”. I’m glad they got him for this and glad he agreed to do it.
Anyone willing to hang on to THAT moniker has got to be pretty damn sure of his ability. :o)
You go, Ben!

Pish and tosh; you guys don’t know what crabs are. Down here in the Cackalack (especially at Myrtle Beach…) we’ve got crotch pheasants big enough to fuck tom turkeys standin’ flat-footed.

MLS is terrible…roller derby with cleats…I never watch it.
It’s going the way of “Let them beat hell out of each other and the turnstiles will spin.”
Not my kind of football.

Two words:
Barca and Lio…:o)

Kevin, you’ve got more cajones than King Kong. :o)
Pointing out Maddow’s little sweetheart interview with the general is like pissing on Mother Teresa; no telling how many scheise-liberal shit-lists you made with this thread.
Don’t stop now, I’m gettin’ to where I like it. :o)

Obama goin’ Taft-Hartley on the ILA?
What a brave, progressive, stand that would be for him to make…just like having Pelosi kill that attempt by some House dems (When they had that 79 seat majority…) to force a vote on stripping the anti-trust exemptions that the HMO robber-barons enjoy.

“…I don’t think there’s much of a chance of his standing up to Obama…”
Slim and none, I’d say…The status quo needs to be protected at all costs.

Very best, Jane, you and to all of the fireweillers. :o)

tanbark commented on the diary post On Thursday night, the Tea Party took a principled stand against Boehner and GOP leadership, as they did against the Grand Bargain of 2011 by wigwam.
“I’ve lost track of which tea party is which…”
Hell, I’ve about lost track of which PARTY is which…

With you on Maddow…she’s been one of the heavy lifters in moving the goalposts for Obama, as he “evolves” into “liberal” positions
People like Paul Krugman and Drew Weston have been a ton more honest and accurate about all the damage Obama has done to the progressive agenda by his “reaching out” to the republicans…

For anyone who doubts the concept of kharma, I point to John Boehner’s playing marbles with Barack Obama’s political ‘nads for the past four years…and now, having the peckerheads in the GOP doing the same thing with HIS cajones. :o)

“Let the Alan Grayson show begin.”
Amen to that. At least Grayson understands that with the GOP there is no such thing as “bipartisan”. It only exists in Obama’s mind.

Our brave democrats, pretending that they have no power…or, if they do, that using it would mean economic and political disaster.

“…my last day of blogging…”
*#&$*(*%&(*(!!!
Thanks, David, for:
Not flacking for any “agenda” but the truth…
Getting to the core of issues and making your case with clarity…
And for NOT being intoxicated with the exuberance of your own verbosity…
You will be missed. Come on back; anytime. Very best, tb.

No one at the Lake does accurate, no-bullshit analysis, like you do, David.
Don’t even think of leaving.
And, as much as is possible in the sad, depressing, aftermath of the latest massacre, I hope you find some comfort and joy for Christmas and and the new year.

tanbark commented on the blog post Obama’s Latest Fiscal Slope Offer: I’m Missing the Part Where Republicans Give Up Something
Man, does our courageous prez know how to drive a hard bargain or what?
It’s enough to make you sympathize with John Boehner and the republicans, to suffer such a beat-down.
Straight up, it’s this kind of sellout that guarantees americans will have no faith nor belief that the economy is turning around. At least, not enough to help most of us.
Obama: grabbing his ankles for the corporatists at every opportunity.

tanbark commented on the blog post Gun Safety Should Not Just Be Directed At Protecting Children
“Can’t very well run a background check on a burglar, can we?”
No, we can’t, but we can make the punishment for having an unregistered firearm so stiff that having one will be much more of a liability for YEARS in jail, than it is now.
I admit, with the current gun culture, and with Barack Obama’s seemingly genetic desire to attempt to curry favor with the assholes who despise him so deeply, we’re not likely to see that.

“…and functionally no different than any semi-automatic hunting rifle…”
You are mistaken. Assault rifles are designed for much higher capacity magazines than are the hunting rifles you can buy today.
Of course, if you want to, you can go after the deadly whitetail deer with a 30 round clip, instead of of 5 or 6 rounds.
