  1. It's spam. Unsolicitated e-mails.
  2. Mr. McMurphy, It's time for you're electroshock therapy.
  3. $1000? 1,000 Lotto tickets!
  4. I've seen it all -blaming the anger at the biggest Socialist grab in history on Bush. Kelly, what the hell do you do for a living that has your lips so welded to Obama's ass?
  5. From Wiki: Sheila Jackson Lee - Publicity-Seeking Critics complain that Jackson Lee has a tendency to volunteer unsolicited on-camera commentary and press statements on a wide range of political issues, such as a 2003 request to use more African American-sounding names when naming hurricanes and tropical storms, feeling the current selections were too "lily white." [1] This has caused conservative critics to nickname her "Hurricane Sheila." Citing the hurricane incident, conservative pundit and former CBS correspondent Bernard Goldberg included Jackson-Lee in his book 100 People Who Are Screwing Up America, ranking her #98. Jackson Lee volunteered herself as an unsolicited advocate for the father of Elián González in the international custody controversy and reportedly spends hours seeking out prime seating locations in the House of Representatives chamber to increase her camera visibility for special events such as the State of the Union address. She was also one of the few members of Congress to come to the defense of Michael Jackson during an ongoing criminal investigation of the pop star [2]. She also attracted controversy in 2003 by meeting with Syrian leader Bashar al-Assad and offering to sponsor a visit for the controversial leader to the United States. According to the gossip columnist of a local free paper, The Houston Press, the congresswoman's reputation as a "floor hog" has also given rise to a humorous betting game among Capitol Hill staffers in other member's offices in which quarters are deposited into a jar each time she speaks. The office staff in possession of the jar when a whole day goes by without Jackson Lee speaking wins and gets to keep the contents [3]. Sheila Jackson Lee - Other criticism According to the Houston Press and The Hill, Jackson Lee has also reportedly been involved in several altercations with airline flight personnel over her requests for a complimentary upgrade to first class based on her celebrity. [4] The Press reports one altercation, which Jackson Lee later denied, she loudly derided a staffer over her travel arrangements: "You don't understand. I am a queen, and I demand to be treated like a queen." Another altercation onboard an airplane was reported by The Hill. During a full flight on Continental Airlines Jackson Lee was denied a complimentary upgrade to first class. According to a witness interviewed by the Capitol Hill newpaper, "When she saw that she had to sit with other people, she started shouting that she was in Congress and worked hard. She was really loud. Everybody in the plane could hear." Later in the flight she is reported to have had a "friendly visit" with the displaced passengers. [5] The Press further reports that Jackson Lee has a reputation on capitol hill as a "high-maintenance" employer and has exhibited one of the largest staff turnover rates for years [6]. Several former employees have cited her demeanor and incidents such as the travel arrangement altercations as a major reason why so many staffers leave her office. The Houston Chronicle reported that one staffer even quit after she threw a cell phone at him.[7] Sheila Jackson Lee - Alleged use of the race card and gender card Other critics have charged Jackson Lee with frequent political race baiting to obtain political goals. In a 2002 incident Jackson Lee became engaged in a shouting match with Republican Dana Rohrabacher, the Chairman of the NASA subcomittee, after Rohrabacher ruled her out of order for exceeding her allotted time for questions. Jackson Lee snapped back at Rohrabacher, "I'm the only member that you comment on. It may be that I'm the only African-American woman sitting here."[8][9] Rohrabacher responded, "Ms. Jackson Lee, that type of charge is beneath you. It is beneath your dignity." Jackson Lee also accused the Harris County (Houston) Republican Party of racism after an email it sent to members criticizing the local Democratic congressional delegation included a photograph of her but not the Democratic "white male" members from other Houston districts, despite the fact that the email was one of a series that did, in fact, include her white male Democrat colleagues. Continential told her to never fly with them again. And yes, she asked if the Mars Pathfinder could photograph the flag the astronauts planted om Mars. She was at Mission Control at the time (which is in her district)
  6. This is the spam that the Fox News reporter at today's White House Press conference said people who have never contacted the White House for anything have been getting today. He asked Gibbs if the White House was buying mailing lists and Gibbs hemmed and hawed and didn't answer the question.
  7. Welcome to the informed.
  8. Don't they just shoot them there? Oh, Richmond, VA, not CA (Richmond, CA is worse than Oakland for shootings and murders)
  9. Works for the abortionists.
  10. Most ulcers are caused by H.Pylori. The first course of treatment is antibiotics and antacids. The guy that found this out won a Medicine Nobel Prize in 2005. He had figured it out, but people wouldn't believe him. He grew a bunch of the bacteria and drank it. Got severe gastritis.
  11. If I was your boss, I'd can your ass.
  12. More fake people for Obama No Care Link By the way, impersonating a doctor is a crime.
  13. Speaking of Larouche, the pictures of Obama with a Hitler mustache that the MSM said were from people po'd at the Obama No Care plan wewre from the LaRouchites. If the MSM would actually do any research, they have the La Rouche web site at the bottom. Also, the guy shown carrying one of them was one of the congressman's people. He was seen later handing out flyers from the congressman with talking points on them.
  14. The anointed one himself said something today about giving someone painkillers instead of a hip replacement.
  15. When I was in Biotech, I knew I'd be working in a lab and would be dressing in older clothes (in case I spilled chemicals on them), but the interview was in a suit.
  16. My 93 year old aunt started peeing blood in April. She went in got tests and found it was a benign tumor on her bladder. Got it removed and went to a wedding in NC a month later. Under Obama No Care, they would have said "Sorry, it's time for you to go." No take the painkiller and shut up.
  17. Being 5'4" has it's advantages on a plane. I always have leg room and can stand even at a window seat in some planes.
  18. And the number of doctors will go down when the govt. controls the reimbursement.
  19. You just do what your union boss tells you to do. Why aren't you outscaring some grandmothers at a "town meeting".
  20. The correct reply would have been to calmly ask if the question was correct. "Are you asking about my husband? I am here to talk about President Obama's policies." instead of flying off the handle.
  21. It's still the ripoff of the Houston Oilers fight song.
  22. Read the whole thread. The son came home last week and they retired the flag.
  23. Today at Specter's "town hall" a woman read directly from the bill. Specter says that she was spreading lies and rumors. He has no idea of what is in the bill as do all of the dems.
  24. She is the US representative there. She should have the control to not fly off the handle. She's too old for the PMS excuse now.
