We need change all right - change from a liberal Washington to a conservative Washington! We have a prescription for every American who wants change in Washington - throw out the big government liberals and elect John McCain.

I think I broke something in my brain trying to figure out what the fuck he's talking about.

[Iason Ouabache]

The Dominionists have spoken!!!:  Vote for the Constitution Party, but pray that the Republicans win and that McCain dies quickly.

Jon Stewart just raised an interesting and very valid point while interviewing New Gingrich. He said that Bristol Palin's pregnancy was a valid issue because Sarah Palin had said it was Bristol's decision to keep the baby. She said that people should respect that, while she will not respect other peoples' decisions if in office.

I could talk about that more clearly except for the booze.

But yeah, I thought that was some very good and realistic commentary, though it will be generally ignored because it's from a comedy show.

[Jenne]

NWC, I think you mistake what Jon Stewart is actually able to *accomplish* with that comedy.  See, he and Stephen Colbert get away with more and with less bullshit added because of that comedy.  And they have the ratings to prove that people are listening...learning...thinking about that schtick.  That actually turns out to be MORE than schtick.

I have to say, as a segue into American politix...the great unwashed could do WAY worse.  (like FuxNews, for example)

though I have had a few drinks, and spent a minute or two trying to read your stentance(s), I still think it's a valid point.

as much drama blah blah blah hypocrisy blah blah pandering to women blah nonsense is going on with Palin(not to mention her daughter), I think this is a point that is getting overshadowed by the staunch refusal by Obama(which I think was the respectful and best thing to do, hands down) to use this pregnancy in the election. While Obama and his campaign should not touch the issue, as it sincerely is classless, I think it is fair for the media to explore this aspect of the subject. It does reveal a  "flip-flop" nature of the GOP that they themselves have very often accused the dems of.


plus, there's no kitchen in the VPwhitehouse*


*not really sure where the VP lives and I'm sure they have a kitchen anyway for the slaves to cook the massa's food in

[Iason Ouabache]

The VP gets a mansion on the grounds of the Naval Observatory.  I only know this because my wife made me look it up earlier today.  Welcome back, NWC, BTW.

Interesting...

While the Bridge to Nowhere porject was cancelled, they kept the money anyway...

"Congress ... still sent the money to the state for any use it deemed appropriate."

[Cain]

Oh yeah, Palin loves teh pr0k.

[AFK]

Well, the Republican game has become pretty clear to me.  They knew their only shot was to start a war with the media, and, at the same time they wanted to have a go at the mad-as-hell Hillary supporters.  So, they found a mad-as-hell woman, with no record, who likes to gang-tackle Moose and kill them wiff her teeth.  They knew that the media would do their job and look into this no-name.  And as soon as they even start sniffing around her personal life.  "SEXISTS!!!"  They didn't pick Palin because she thought she was capable of being a Vice President, or a President when McCain has his heart attack.  No, they picked a lightning rod with breasts. 

This election sucks big hairy Moose-balls.  The politicians clearly think we are all idiots, and unfortunately, there are far too many only too happy to add creedence to their beliefs. 

[LMNO]

Unfortunately, I had to google "lightning rod with breasts", and I ended up learning more about the S&M device that gives off "erotic electric shocks" when you touch it to your partner's skin.


"Not to be used near the heart or on people with pacemakers or other implants."

[AFK]

Now, I have nothing against lighting rods with breasts, I married one.  In fact, if she were just 3 years older, she could've been Obama's Sarah Palin.  And she has way more executive experience. 

[LMNO]

Ha!

"Three times in recent years, McCain's catalogs of "objectionable" spending have included earmarks for this small Alaska town, requested by its mayor at the time -- Sarah Palin."

[Bebek Sincap Ratatosk]

Oh yeah, Palin loves teh pr0k.

Apparently, so does her daughter... 

[Cain]

Are you suggesting the father is a congressional earmark?
