Seems senator Ensign has an Alexander Hamilton problem

Hamilton paid a guy so he could sleep with the guy’s wife. It was the ultimate reason he never ran for president. But, hey, he got his face on the ten spot.

I think the Republicans are going to have to replace Mr. Ensign here pretty soon;

Politico reported, per a Nevada political insider “that Ensign began an affair with a staffer several months after he separated from his wife. When Ensign reconciled with his wife, the source said, he gave the aide a severance package and parted ways. Sometime later, the source said, Ensign met with the husband of the woman involved and had what this source described as a positive encounter. But the source said that the man subsequently asked Ensign for a substantial sum of money — at which point Ensign decided to make the affair public.”

Maybe he should try to get the secretary of treasury job?

Now if Ironic Johnny can catch the top three other Republican leaders with their hands in the honey pot we might become the minority loser after all.

The real reason the ‘Uptown’ project has been delayed

Looks like someone from the Uptown project let the cat out of the bag;

“The next step is really figuring out where they go. Where those contaminated soils go in a way that’s environmentally friendly,” Fleming said.

Developers are working with local and state officials to resolve those issues, but building the Arches is also being held up by the ailing economy.

“We did have two tenants who decided to hold off a little bit due to the economy,” Fleming said.

I have a funny feeling this is more about the economy and not the contaminants. I think the development group used that as an excuse to hold off buying the land. I can guarantee, if they had enough tenants interested in the property, they would have bought and cleaned up that land a long time ago. As I reported a few months back, business development value is half of what it was last year. Contaminated dirt, yeah right. And the city taxpayers are left holding the bag, once again.

It’s a turn of events so poetic that even I couldn’t have made fiction of it. Phat Phouch, moderator of “Dakota War College,” self-styled “best political blog in South Dakota,” can dish it out, but he can’t take it.

PP says, “I see Northern Valley Beacon can dish it out, but can’t take it.

“After I pointed out his own foibles, I see NVB’s holier than though blogger, David Newquist yanked my comment about his latest in bloviating pontification.”

The petulant phat phoucktard, Pat Powers (as his unfortunate parents designated him, and who apparently thinks that using “bloviating pontification” as a literary device means he’s smart), regularly jerks comments from his own blog’s stupid topic strings that offend his sense of self-importance.

I also notice that the stupid bastard can’t even spell “thou,” even though (note spelling thereof) I assume the overweight mackerel snapping real estate salamander has at least a passing acquaintance with the only commonly-used book still in circulation that uses that word about 60 times per page.

Ever since the exchange over his “10 Ignorant Stupid Fucking Questions” game, posed to me in 2006 (The cheap sonofabitch never even sent me the t-shirt that he admits he owes me.), I’ve been asking him a question: “Who owns you?.” He has either ignored the question or deleted it. Even a phat phoucktard can sometimes spot a situation that might lead him to have to defend a philosophical position based on absence of principles.

He finally “comments” answered the question. “Not a soul,” Phat Phouch says. He has refused to post my follow-ups to his empty answer.

Can he dish it out? Lamely. Can he take it? Well, when one bases his entire reason for being on placing one’s nose as close as possible to the asshole of what one considers power, one also has a tendency to go “ayiyiyiyiyi” whenever one is challenged on one’s stupid moronic weasel-sucking remarks.

Thank you, Phat Phouck, for providing one more example of the emptiness of the moral pretense of what you call a political philosophy (evan thou I no yew cain’t spail it).
