    #1: BIGGEST LOSER of 2008: RITTER'S "NEW ENERGY ECONOMY"

    Inefficient, uneconomic, unrleiable, reyclled failures from an earlier era and now bankrupt and in Chapter II. There will be no windmill, solar or biofuel suvivors in 2009--they are all doomed!

    Fortunately, the taxpayer and consumer never felt all the potential pain. Ritter's "NEE" now looks like the last and final, sputtering shot out of a Roman Candle!

    #2: SECOND BIGGEST LOSER OF 2008: THE ACCELERATING COLLAPSE OF THE "GLOBAL WARMING" HOAX.

    The expanding universe of emperical evidence supports the growing case for an extended duration of Global Cooling. Global Warming simply flunked the "look out the window" test!

    Runners up: Bristol Palin's future mother in law, who just got busted for meth.

    Classy.

    More runners up: the american taxpayers, for footing the bill for bank employee's year-end bonuses.

    Odd that Mark only names democrats, when the republicans lost pretty much everything this year. John Edwards? He wasn't even running for office when he got busted. What about Larry Craig? Or was that last year? Too many republican gay sex scandals to keep up with.

    TOMORROW'S LEMON TODAY: THE CHEVY VOLT

    Cheered on and backed by eco-hysterical, enviro-phobes, warmists, alarmists, doomsters and "feel-good" liberals, this $40,000, 4-passenger washing machine will need a $7,500 taxpayer subsidy to assit the mentally disturbed buyer in order to close its sale and will require a RECHARGE every 40 miles--that's FORTY miles as in a little over 200,000 feet! Best of all, GM's management does not expect the Chevy Volt to generate a profit--its a "strategic" loss leader (I thought that GM already had 100 of those)! The libs love it!

    How's that for identifying a loser two-years before it flops!

    Speaking of the "look out the window" test, have you, lately, sasquach/observer?

    Because if you had, you may have noticed that it's been 60 degrees the past 2 days, at the end of december.

    THE STUPID, IT BURNS!!


    I love it how when it's cold out, that's proof (for wingtards) that global warming is a hoax, yet when its very unseasonably warm out, that is also proof that global warming is a hoax.

    Also - Ted Stevens needs to be added to the list of this years biggest losers. Norm Coleman also.

    OH, and Bristol Palin's new son, named....wait for it.....

    Trigg.

    Evidently she wishes her offspring to be beat to a bloody pulp in junior high. Might as well have named him Aswipe.

    The American People.

    We have a Kenyan Muslim who stole the 2008 election by massive voter fraud perpetrated by ACORN working in collusion with Democrat Secretaries of State.

    In the midst of the Global War on Islamist Terror, the Islamofascists get an infusion of hope as a terrorist-sympathizing Mulsim takes over control of the greatest nation on the planet, by fraud, deceit and lies.

    Osama bin Urkel, the Socialist Kenyan Muslim Fraud, is an affront to every man and woman who have laid down their lives in the past seven years keeping this nation safe from terrorists. The Kenyan Liar's family friends include terrorists who have attacked the United States of America (William Ayers) and terrorist financiers with close ties to one of the nations of the Axis of Evil (Tony Rezko, Syria).

    Bonbo-Hammed is a fraud, a liar, a thief and a friend to terrorists. Nice job, morons. The nation will pay for generations for the mistakes this unexperienced Socialist boy child will do to us all. He is NOT my President, as he is NOT Constitutionally eligible to serve in that role.

    After January 20, 2009, the US has no President until Osama bin Urkel the Plastic Muslim Messiah is removed from office.

    She begged Ritter for it saying Colorado deserved a women to be appointed but didn't understand she would be handing it over to the Republicans in 2010.

    You also forgot to mention he's a POS drug addict that lost most of his hearing due to drug use.

    Why so many people agree with a massive drug addict is beyond me. Hell, they're even proud to agree with every syllable that crosses his lips.

    Oh yea, and we hope you and your family also die in a terrorist attack. That's nice of you to wish ill on your fellow countrymen.
