Texas Rangers are bankrupt. The Arbusto Circle is complete

Ever business venture the ole Harvard Master touched has gone belly up, including the US Treasury.

All sports teams shift income from the actual ball club to other associated enterprises (broadcasting, concessions, etc.), then plead "poverty" so they can get yet another fat government handout. :eyes:

Oh Pleeeeeeeeeease build us a ball park free and we will move the team to your city St. Petersburg.

The Ballpark was part of the Eminent domain land grab.

And didn't give anything to the taxpayers.

They gave the citizens of the D/FW Metroplex a team that routinely falls out of the pennant race the day after pitchers and catchers report.

That money is somewhere, just not where the tax people can find it.

:)

The word is "eminent domain", not "imminent".

"Imminent" means "gonna happen real soon".

Rangers years. I made the career:rofl: of George Dubya my special project. I have followed him from the Houston cocaine cowboy days to today.

Barbara and her evil spawn, or evil Barbara and her spawn ?

But hey, when you are talking evil and the Bush* clan, there are sooooo many choices. I don't think there's a decent one out of the entire bunch.

I knew most of that, but I'm going to look up the part about Shrub's Governor run. Sleazy, was it?

Poppy let him "audition" for Selection 2000 by starting with the gubernatorial election. The election featured vile push-polling, insinuating Governor Ann Richards was a lesbian. It also involved ol' KKKarl planting a bug in his own office and then "discovering" it and then calling in the willing press. Dumbya was pimped for Governor while still the "owner":rofl: of the Rangers. I remember one of the games telecast from Arlington, it cut to Bush* sitting in the owners:rofl: box and the announcer said: "...there he is, the oldest son of former President Bush...wouldn't he make a fine governor..."

...turns to crapola. For some reason, no matter who runs the Department of Justice, the drunken coke whore's immune from prosecution.

Somehow after having login lapsed for a while, when I got a new password I went back to zero posts. So now I get accused of being a Repub or a troll once in a while, but I don't mind.

With ol' Dumbya "seemingly" at the helm, you pretty much had a built-in alibi for any and all nefarious acts. "Bush* could never have pulled that off, he's too stupid."

has there ever been a less competent person than the little bush boy?

He has fucked into oblivion every single thing he has touched in his life--companies, investors, countries, "wars," economies, political legacies...

For fucksake, that which is wrong with this fucked up country can be summarized by the observation that we "elected" him twice.

we let it stand as though it actually happened.

I understood the meaning of your quotes and completely agree. It's a sticking point with me. I will never acknowledge Bush* and Cheney* were legitimately elected. Never. And furtermore, I will not forget, nor will I move on.

:thumbsup:

He was using profit from the baseball club to partially fund his corporate raiding business.

not Harvard, at least for his undergrad "degree." Remember he was a GHWB legacy at Yale. Did he get an MBA from Haaaahvaaad? How the fuck did he ever get that?

The Gigantes failed in trying to extort Tampa Bay way back when. Ironically, they then changed ownership and the new ownership did something Butthead Sigheilman definitely did not like. They raised the money to build a new stadium in SF from the private sector. Think about it, BS has been successfully guiding teams to extort their communities to either pay in whole or laregely subsidized the construction of a brand new stadium or else that team will leave for some other community that is willing to foot the bill. In some sports starved cities it works quite well.

I think SF is the first time MLB owners were not given a stadium by a community after this type of blackmail. I am sure behind the scenes of his master PR program (steroids? what steroids?)(inter-league ball, it's great, sure)(National League at least would like to reverse the winner of All-Star game gets home field adv. in WS), that Butthead is in reality sticking pins in a voodoo doll of Peter McGowan, the Safeway CEO that masterminded the private construction of the constantly-renamed ballpark now by the Bay.

Ironic that the Niners, a truly successful pro sports franchise, with a legacy of championships under their belt, cannot get a new stadium built. Likewise the Oakland A's in the same Bay Area. Either sell out to corp interests to build and leave the cities out of it, or just have the cities own the teams. Seems fair to me.

Arbusto Oil? Wasn't that Salem Bin Laden's company along with GWB? :banghead:

If a person can not get to a person trying to do good, they go after the people around that person. It was even in the robin hood trailer.

The concept is free will lets some people use what they have to go after systems that are partially in their area. And in that they go after those that can be around those trying to do better.

Then they blame the better things, what I ask is,

What has the better things done to hurt anyone?

What have the systems that blame better things done to many people?


It works like this, lets say someone says something good, and someone else thinks it is a good idea and supports it. Bad will attack the supporter then blame it on being near the original good.

It is a very old concept of control, and is a method of trying to stifle good by coercion then PR. You can see it in many news stories.

"All who shelter him shall be taken alive on sight."

It is a very old concept.
