Why not?

We have oldsters dithering in the columns section of Salon. Do you know what the average age of a Salon reader is, Keillor you old fart? Go back to your rocking chair and your Royal #10. Clickety-clack, ding.

We have a choice between a disgusting old man, and a disgusting older man. Both with the same mental disease. What a choice.

Let me clarify...

"We have a choice between a disgusting old man, and a disgusting older man. Both with the same mental disease. What a choice."

This is not a reference to Keillor, rather, McCain and Obama. Their disease is poly tics. Their heads are full of them. It turns a normal human being into a professional lyer that begs for attention. VOTE FOR ME. VOTE FOR ME. VOTE FOR ME. VOTE FOR ME. VOTE FOR ME. VOTE FOR ME. LOVE ME. LOVE ME. Pleasepleasepleasepleasepleasepleasepleasepleasepleasepleasepleasepleasepleasepleasepleasepleasepleasepleasepleasepleasepleasepleasepleasepleasepleasepleasepleasepleasepleasepleasepleasepleasepleaseplease.

How sickening.

Here's a funny one: If the whole president thing does not work out, Kaine and Obama can do a TV show called Jethro and the Alien.

Oh yeah,

and Pelosi, et al are bastions of hyper intelligence... Here's some reality for you: Bush's approval rating hovering in the 20s. The democrat congress is in single digits. I can't stand any of them, but to suggest that the left is somehow more intelligent than anyone else is the essence of stupidity, that essence being rooted in denial.

Please left, right, and in-betweens, don't be stupid too. Tom got it wrong this time. It's time for a complete re-do. It's ok if your philosophy differs from mine. It's not ok to think that any politician gives a rat's butt what you think, least of all the two running for president.

False Premises and Half Truths

"The public is unhappy with the Iraq war."

Not as unhappy as you think. Obviously.

"The economy is in dire straits."

No it's not. Unemployment is at near all time lows. The only people that are not working are the ones not worth hiring. Those that are working are making the same money this year that they were last year. Gas prices are high, but gas prices do not equal the economy. The "people losing their homes" didn't have one to begin with, paid nothing down and are "losing" nothing. I'm not losing my home, are you?

"The president, a two-term Republican, is setting records for unpopularity."

Compared to the Congress and the Senate from which Obama comes, Georgie is looking positively popular.

Live in denial if you want. Obama is a closet Panther/communist.

Original article: Johnny, I hardly knew ye

What a stupid article

To suggest that you actually "know" someone, as in "know the purposes of their heart". His wife didn't even know him. Additionally, it is impossible to know a politician's heart because they do not have one. The are all rotten inside. Rotten to the very core. It is a prerequisite to higher office.

So, what?

You want four more years?

It's obvious Mr. Paster

has gone to the same "I say it/like it, therefore it will come true" school that Obama went to. Until they come up with a conversion chain for electric cars that is as efficient as the one for chemical energy cars, it will cost more in every respect to drive an electric car. Either way (unless a truly novel energy source excluding both existing forms is arrived at), it will cost x to propel you forward, and x times the number of people wanting to be propelled forward is enormous and environmentally destructive. No getting around it, even with Obama magic.

If you want to find out what is really driving the electric car scam, just look at who will make money from it. Just like freon, radon, "harmless CO2" (catalytic converter manufacturer's famous statement), global warming, global cooling, acid rain, etc, etc, etc. Time to grow a brain, folks.

Obama's exceedingly familiar justifications for escalation

The "new" approach to Afghanistan touted by White House officials seems quite old

There was no pretense that human rights is our goal, or the likely outcome, in escalating the war

The crazy, irrational beliefs of Muslims

Tom Friedman explains the real problem: stupid Muslims think the U.S. is about war and aggression.

The face of rotted Washington

Evan Bayh demands more debt-financed war - fought by others - while boasting that he's a stern "deficit hawk."

Yes, it's Obama's war now
