Before I begin to bail out ANY muthafucker's boat

You'd better hatch out a plan

That'll KEEP shit afloat.

@robob

YOU might be a garden variety goddamn fool, but I don't want any average piece of shit legislation breezed on through.

@robob

I don't know jack about what comes across, but I do know you must be shittin' bricks, facin' a terribly unpleasant loss.

John McCain won't have Sarah Palin replaced

Actual knowledge of the ways

And workings of the middle east

Are not an essential requisite

For Palin

To make for her

Serious vice presidential case.

McCain knows that any old Joe or Jane

Can deal with the byzantine political mazes

Of Damascus or Tehran

It's just like jumping into Iraq

Without a vision or a plan...

Original article: The Sarah Palin pity party

Ya Salam!

I'll bet the closest Sarah Palin has gotten to understanding and comprehending the complexities of the middle east and its politics has probably been through ordering a felafel sandwich at Pita King.

Monday, September 29, 2008 07:53 PM

Sarah Palin obviously doesn't pass with good marks...

...on the middle east...but I have a question...do they have felafel in Alaska?

Monday, September 29, 2008 11:16 PM

McCain won't ask Palin to step down or quit

Americans are attracted to stupidity

Like flies are drawn to shit...

Anybody who believes they are the designate of god

@Faulkner & Juliebird

What happened? Why're y'all scrappin'? Five weeks till election and you're both Bill Clinton disectin'? I don't CARE what Bill says or does, Bill Clinton had his two terms, and is now the president that was...

@Faulkner

You're right on about the civil rights act....activists and just ordinary Americans did all the the sufferin' and strivin', the work of real live, living, women and men, the work that LBJ did, was the stroke of a pen...

Wednesday, October 1, 2008 06:30 AM

Four years back

When Bush was bestowed

A second term

I said "you'll be sorry."

But Americans never learn....

Wednesday, October 1, 2008 06:36 AM

More blowjob

From the war

On error?

The average American responce is:

Yeah

Whatever....

Wednesday, October 1, 2008 06:43 AM

@Faulkner

I'm not belittling the bold stroke that Johnson's pen took, if he hadn't taken it, shit'd still be like a phone left off the hook...

Wednesday, October 1, 2008 06:59 AM

I'll say this much

At least Johnson picked up the line

And heard what was being said on the other end

No president's done that in a while

Now it's just like beatin' yourself on the head.

@Fester

My favorite slice of Tuco was the part on the prison train when Tuco (played by Eli Wallacch) was hand cuffed to the fat, sadistic, union soldier.

Tuco: "I like big fat men like you. Sometimes they fall down, and they never get up."

Wednesday, October 1, 2008 11:13 AM

Like I said

The average American response is:

Yeah

Whatever...

Wednesday, October 1, 2008 11:21 AM

Tuco was a miserable, scheming, thieving little rat

But at least Tuco knew where shit was really at...

Boondoggle in Iraq

Ennio Morricone

Made the music for "The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly."

He did the music for "1900" too, which all of you guys should see, about how politics shape the fate of an Italian family and a childhood friendship btween two boys, one the son of a peasant farmer, the other, the son of a landed aristocrat.

It was made by the audacious Bernardo Bertolucci, and has long been one of my favorite movies.

Wednesday, October 1, 2008 12:31 PM

@Fester

C'mon! Americans have been boiling their election choices down to Old West mythology for eons...Just look at all of the "cowboys" who made their mark with the American masses, not on account of candidate qualities of clearheaded competency, but on shit that really counts like cowboy cockiness.

Give yourself a break.

Wednesday, October 1, 2008 12:37 PM

America

Bush made you swoon

Now reap

The wild doom...

Wednesday, October 1, 2008 12:48 PM

The thing is..

Though Tuco was ugly, at least he was resourceful and sharp.....Palin's got a pretty face, but is hollow inside, and is a holyroller at heart.

Wednesday, October 1, 2008 01:09 PM

@missioncreep

My favorite Morricone movie music is from "Danger Diabolik."

Wednesday, October 1, 2008 01:41 PM

chiefpayne & Truthfully

Your multiple multiple posts

Prattle on...

So vigorously

So youthfully....

I tell ya true

I'm so staggeringly underwhelmed

I can scarecely

Begin to describe

How to tell it

To you two...

Wednesday, October 1, 2008 01:53 PM

You're the Batman & Robin

Caped crusaders of the week.

Your voices carrying off

And resounding

And then backwards

Rebounding

Like a mouse's mighty squeak...

Wednesday, October 1, 2008 02:09 PM

@missioncreep

I didn't even know that John Philip Law had passed away, I remember loving his Sindbad, back in the Golden Voyage day.

Morricone deserved an award, though I hold the Oscars in as much real a regard, as I hold a plastic toy sword.

Wednesday, October 1, 2008 02:20 PM

CQ?

Oh that movie that Copola's kid made? No. I read about it...that's about it.

Wednesday, October 1, 2008 02:32 PM

*squeak!* *squeak!*

*squeak!* *squeak!*

*squeak!*

*squeak!*

Wednesday, October 1, 2008 02:37 PM

Even the stubbornest rat

Knows when it's time to quit a sinking ship

It's only cheifpayne and truthfully

Who don't mind goin' down with it....

Wednesday, October 1, 2008 02:44 PM

yeah missioncreep

You know how it is...the Oscars, they're like American elections.

Wednesday, October 1, 2008 02:56 PM

Of course Italian elections are pretty crazy too...

I remember what must of been a while back, that an Italian pornstar ran for parlaiment, and I think she won it at that!

Wednesday, October 1, 2008 03:05 PM

The first decade of a new century

Ends not with a merry

Little tip of the hat

But with the scurrying and furying sounds of

Angry squeaking mice and rats...

Yup. Yup.

Wednesday, October 1, 2008 06:07 PM

Men of the cloth

Are often times like that

They have egos as big as the almighty

And preside over three million blind mice

As the right and honorable King Rat.

Wednesday, October 1, 2008 06:19 PM

Uh-uh

It means you've got a good head on your shoulders

And that you know what's up

It means you know the real score

Just like crime dog McRuff...

Fuck Ron Paul!

I just wanna change the subject for just a moment

To a place far far away...

@Chickenhawk 7

I don't know about what you heard was "hip"

But I can reliably tell you

That you're full 'o shit.

Wednesday, October 1, 2008 08:56 PM

How do you solve the Palin problem?

Well I dunno...

That's a pretty big problem!
