I don't know crap about fractals, and only some about entropy, but I do know that those Israelis really know how to grow Citrus.

See, the drops really are magical -- they magically transfer money from Florida taxpayers into the pockets of con men pretending to be Israeli scientists.

That's Kathrine, not Kathleen...

Anyway, if Andrew Sullivan and Kathrine Harris mated, what would the offspring look like? And how truly insane would that little monster be?

This happened 4 years ago and lasted only six months which is like seconds when referring to government standards. Can't you recognize a covert hit piece against a conservative that is about to make a run for Senator.

Killjoy.
If dumbass stuff in a politician's past were off the table, John Kerry wouldn't have been so much fun for us.

Bogus war hero? Easily taken in by charlatans?
Republican or Democrat, stories like this (if true) are public service announcements.

So, is Harris going to make Citrus Canker cures a major part of her platform?

"Reporting for Canker Curing!"

THAT's what put Kerry's history on the table.

my nick is a bastardization of the "tachyon snuggy," a tachyon particle-infused wristwrap that I saw at one of those "Whole Life Expos" here in Austin. They would supposedly take faster-than-light particles and, uh, do something to cloth, pendants, etc. Supposedly doing this would make the wearer proof against EMFs, Republicans, etc. etc.

Harris is a ninny and a polarizing figure, down here. I personally think that she's poison for the Republican Party. This story doesn't help matters.

well, once word gets out that Harris authorized a pilot program using remote prayer to combat citrus canker, she's sunk.

Fortunately, that pilot program was an ecumenical effort, not just Christian fundamentalist. but still ......

I got a citrus canker once, from dry humping a grapefruit.

I'm really glad I don't live in Florida.

Especially since I could not, in good conscience, vote for anyone who fell for this bunkum.

I mean, really. . . improved fractal design? More like improved rectal design, if you ask me.

Yup, we're gonna hear more about this, I'm sure. What time is Ron Reagan on the air?

Cheers,
Dave at Garfield Ridge

All this talk about Rabbis from New York and Israeli conmen and Cedarford hasn't showed up yet? Must be an off day.

Actually, Kabbalah water has been shown to cure canker. I have the scientific research results to prove it. If there are any Florida politicians monitoring this thread, please email me. I will cure the canker problem for a very reasonable fee.

"Must be an off day"

I've posited before that 'the hospital' only allows access to the computer at certain times and on certain days.

On topic, I read the article and it says she met somebody from Israel that was working on a cure for citrus canker. Nothing untoward there unless you make the leap that she was told they had miracle water that cured citrus canker. But the article doesn't say that, it says she referred them to the department of ag, which if she didn't and it was legitimate, she would rightly be crucified. She notes on some correspondence that she would like to see it work. Well, as a former Florida resident (for 30+years) it's not suprising the Sec. of State would like to see a cure for citrus cancer work! Now it comes out it might be some sort of scam and many of you want to get all up in her sh*t over it. Dman hit the nail on the head regarding the Sun-Sentinel. They may as well be the house organ for the Fl Democratic party.

Citrus cancer = Citrus canker. Doh!

I've done a statistical survey. Using Ace's search engine, I have determined that if any post on this site contains the word "Cedarford," there is a 92.8% probability that one of the next five posts will be from BrewFan.

Which means the coefficient of variation is very high (over .96) that BrewFan secretly lusts after Cedarford's hairy Nazi ass.

But, I could be wrong.

"But, I could be wrong."

Speaking of statistical probabilities, I'd say bet the farm on this one. But anyway,
Michael, I kind of look at my role as being part of the 'resistence' whereas you seem to prefer 'collaborator'. So be it.

cedarford is a hirsute Nazi?

"You can fool some of the people all the time...."

While I don't have much knowledge of Ms. Harris, she seems to be not unreasonable in referring Israelis claiming to have a cure for a citrus disease to the state ag experts. I don't see that she claimed to endorse the "cure" directly or force it on the state. Of course, we now know that a critical review of the mode of operation by someone with a smattering of science background should have been been more skeptical. It is not necessarily so that the "mode of operation" was revealed for Harris to consider at the beginning.

Looks like ol' Ace took the bait!

A friend's mom knows her, and apparently she is the most miserable, shallow beehortch on the planet. You know, on a personal level.

Florida is like NYC, indulgent towards politicians reeled in by Jewish con men because such con men are common in both locales.

And voters know Harris is stupid, Nelson is stupid, and Mel Martinez is dumber than both of them put together....so one single act of Harris stupidity doesn't stand out in a larger backdrop of Florida stupidities. Throw "Jumpin' Jesus" Jeb Bush into the pile of cretins for his moronic participation in the Schiavo Fiasco - not only burned himself, but burned his Big Brother almost as badly as in 2000 when Jeb slacked off the election in the last week.

Interestingly, click on the Jewish snake oil site www.celestialdrops.com and you are directed right to www.kaballah.com

The con never really screwed the taxpayers, despite Harris's involvement. Testing found it was just water.

For a really good Jewish con, you have to look at the Israel aid racket. Spend a few million greasing politicians palms, get billions. Besides the 3 billion a year annual welfare check, con artists got the US taxpayer to fork over 3 billion in 1992 to pay for Israeli real estate damaged by Scuds, and a few Patriot missile batteries, the innards of which the Zionists promptly sold to China.

This years big con is shaping up to be the Gaza Withdrawl Compensation Plan. Money is already being spread in DC. The idea being that even though the US warned the Zionists not to build Settlements there, then they flipped us the bird and used part of their 3 billion annual welfare check to build them anyways....now the poor, poor colonists have to move...and don't want to. So, to Promote Peace - Israel wants the US taxpayer to help fund moving 2800 families, 9,000 people in all to swank new digs...and to help relocate Israeli Army sent into Gaza to guard the Colonies the US opposed.

The bill the Zionists are trying to push through their bribed US Congressman is for 2.2 billion dollars on top of the usual 3 billion in welfare money to "our dear friend". Or, 786,00 per Settler family. But the military expenses mean that we would be only "compensating" them around 1/2 million for leaving a place the whole world inc. the US never told them they had any right to be in the 1st place.

Chuzpah is great. With 120,00 more Settlers possibly to withdraw... at current rates of demanding the US pay for them leaving occupied Palestinian lands, we will only "owe" Israel around 31 billion. But if the con men can get away with demanding 3 billion for Scud missile damage as we Americans spent the blood and treasure to beat Saddam in the Gulf War - why not shoot for another 2.2 billion now? What are American politicians going to do? Turn down their envelopes full of random serial number Benjamins??

Sooner or later, Cedarford always delivers.

Anyway, I don't know much about Kathleen Harris (whatever her name is, and no, she's not a relative) but this article smells like a snide hit job to me. Dems down here are still smarting over the Reagan presidency, never mind the current Republican-in-charge. It tells you something about the scope of our local jouralistas' ambitions when it becomes clear that they've been dreaming for another "loony Repub" scandal like the Reagans and their horoscope thing.

YAWN!

Well, you have to admit the ouija board/Dixon thing was sort of embarrassing.

Note to Michael: be sure to adjust the standard deviation as regards the substandard deviant.

TF6S:

That's Kathrine, not Kathleen...

Let's step down from the high horse bud.

It's Katherine, not Kathrine

Ace, it's time to hose down the loose shit around here. Even the "corrections" in comments are loose.

Aw shucks.
My bad.
I thought she heard the Celestial Drops pitch and fell for it.

It just figures it was made to look that way by a Democrat media organ.
I guess if I was Katherine Harris, and I had a fungal disease, I'd be looking for any damn cure.

-Wait...

what?

...

anybody besides me think cedarvowelvomit needs an editor?

sheesh

Here's hoping Seedy is mistaken about the cash-for-transplanting-the-dipshits plan.

Those damn settlers have always bugged the shit out of me. I'm tempted to give all settlers a firm deadline to either get out or be completely disowned and abandoned by Israeli security.

By God, how about that for a solution to the f'ing settlements issue?

Hey seedy, have you checked out my new fan blog yet? Comments are now open at Cedarford Sucks .

Whether Phantasmagoric Essences were utilized in keeping Al Gore's chads a-danglin'.

That just sounds dirty.

Slublog, I'm sure whatever it is can be found in the Aromatherapy line at Bath and Body Works.

I just gave up more than I wanted to, didn't I?

Cedarford's many words
Always have the same message:
The Joos, they are bad

I don't know, Dave. I can't spend more than a few minutes in a Bath and Body Works. I was in there this afternoon to buy a birthday gift for my wife and it was awful.

Aromatherapy? More like Aromaabugharib.

from comments above: "A friend's mom knows her, and apparently she is the most miserable, shallow beehortch on the planet. You know, on a personal level."

Congresswoman Harris is one of the nicest people I've ever met, actually. She's very gracious, especially after being the brunt of SNL skits. I'd have to say she's the nicest politician I've ever met.

I don't know a thing about the veracity of the Sun Sentinel story, but given the source I am not surprised that this is the best that they can do to.

A friend's mom knows her, and apparently she is the most miserable, shallow beehortch on the planet.

Then that makes her the female version of you, Bill. You must love her!

Bill's not shallow.

Anybody notice the blithe manner our host notes that he's "out the door to do something"? Provided it's more than just dropping the trash down the chute in the hall, I'd say the Klonopin's doing some good. Soon he'll just sort of mention that he's "calling up a girl for a drink and whatever".

Okay, someday anyway.

Cedarford's tiresome, but he's dead right this time.

Then that makes her the female version of you, Bill. You must love her!

Ever notice that the hit jobs like that are never signed? Grow a pair, phantom vagina.

And thank you spongeworthy, I'm not shallow. The rest is fine.

I saw Katherine Harris at the Roll Call Congressional baseball game, and I have to say that she was very attractive. Much better looking than how she comes across on TV.

This is still pretty stupid.

The problem is with the Florida public. They come up with ideas and the pols react. You likely have no idea how heated the discussion gets when people's fruit trees are scheduled for exection. They find canker, they cut down all the trees within 1900 feet. I thought we going to have world war three just trying to reduce the circle from 2500 feet to 1900 feet. It gets totally over the top.

That's politics -- deal with it.

Heck I am still trying to get through the flow chart for Hillary-care.

Bill from INDC,

I know her personally and find her quite pleasant. She is fun and affable in my experience. But opinions are known to vary on such matters.

Oh, and how do I know her? We went to grad school together.

And thank you spongeworthy, I'm not shallow. The rest is fine.

You're not deep -- just predictable.

Ever notice that the hit jobs like that are never signed? Grow a pair, phantom vagina.

Nice to see that you agree that you are a miserable bitch. So, maybe you need to grow a pair. You want a signature, here's one for you:

[Come on... don't post comments under someone else's name. ]

[Come on... don't post comments under someone else's name. ]

It will never happen again. Promise.

Alls I know is, she's like the villain of a Hiaasen novel. Or *maybe* the heroine.

Nope, probably the villain.
