Now, you rest on your laurels and somehow you feel you are obligated to take sides in a historic American election.
Why can't you honestly say,
I find McCain tiresome (of course I find most men tiresome)
I know very little (and I am certainly not trying to find out anything) about this Obama fellow.
But, genius that I am, I'm going with Obama and that horrid old fart,what's his name, with all the layers of pancake makeup, because people expect me to know what's best for them.
Are you whistling past the graveyard?
Come to Chicago, and meet Obama's friend, Todd Stroger, the Head of Cook County, like his father before him.
Hey, if your nice to him, he might give you a job. How about Assistant Communications Director For Cook County Forest Preserve?
How about $87,300 a year for starters?
Make a point of not meeting Forest Claypool who Barrack could not back. He was the reform candidate.
As a newbie here, I have noticed how pissed off the Salonniks get at any mention of 9/11.
This is as they say very telling.
This past week I think it was the History Channel had an long piece on 9/11 - maybe it was the movie which showed in theaters It followed each of the planes and described many of the hijackers and their victims. The most painful part was the jumpers, especially the horror in the faces of those pedestrians looking up at them, watching them die.
Salonniks, why do you get so pissed at any mention of this mass murder of our innocents?
Do you agree with BHO's preacher (for 20 years) that we had it coming?
Are you afraid of the resolve this instills in those of us who have a problem with Moslem fanatics killing our people and destroying our cities?
It's a riot how desperate the desperate get these days.
As Lenin once said, "What is to be done?"
As Barbara Boxer's grandfather always said, "oy vey!"
You're only human, and who could blame you for being over confidant? Sometimes things just don't work out.
Remember what Yogi Berra said?: " It's hard to make predictions. Especially about the future."
Things could change, but it looks like Obama could win:
He could win Illinois (Stroger & Daley can take care of that)
Maybe Delaware too.
Its a riot in November so stay away from insurance stocks.
I know you would never set foot inside a Wal Mart.
You would never have a baby with birth defects.
Sarah Palin did not go to Sara Lawrence.
Jesus Christ is something you say when you stub your toe.
And no son or daughter of yours would even think of donning an American military uniform.
And, why do these yokels still watch film clips of 9/11???
I know, Becka, what is to be done?
I feel your pangs.
...which is kinda like "Zombie feminists of the RNC"
Kinda like "We are the ones we've been waiting for."
When I was a waiter it would have been, "I am the one who has been professionally waiting on you for the past 2 hours so why did you leave me a 6% tip?"
If you don't want to experience our fragile economy falling off a cliff, relentless Russian re-rape of their former enslaved sub nations, and a final world war which really sends a lucky few survivors for the next couple thousand years back to caves, maybe you librals should take a little time out from your normal klueless obsessions, and see the friggin world as it really is, and join the rest of us in really trying to save a civilized planet which really needs no more collectivist cow manure.
How about that for a CHANGE, you Salon sods, how about that, my peoples!
"What is to be done?" as Lenin said about 90 years ago.
Diktatorship of the proletariat is the answer brothers and sisters. Just ask Bernadette Dohrn and Billy Ayers.
It would be like this: In Joysey, for instance, none of da selfish suburban people in Rumson would get a vote, only the appropriate civil servants and underdawgs in places like Asbury, Camden and Newak would be allowed to vote
Voting is a privilege, not a right. Didn't Lincoln or Washington say that?
They do this because they think they can co opt him since he obviously enjoys the good life and he has been chin deep in corrupt Chicago politics for the past 20 years and prefers his new mansion which he could only afford due to very sleazy connections to the modest condo he and her lofty highness traded in.
But when you and the wifie have spent ...(to be continued)
If he looses there is always Cuba. I know some people who understand the currents and the sharks so well that there are ways to safely float there even in a little inner tube.
Paradise awaits you in Cuba, hombre! They got all these classic cars in perfect condition the people all get to drive for free, and everybody is educated. They can all read if they get allowed into the library, and now they got Russian bomber pilots, handing out solid gold coins to help their girlfriends' families prosper.
Then there is Venezuela. He could go there with Michelle if he looses and have a big hacienda, and form of government in exile while we homies get to riot, revolt and reload, until the inevitable collapse takes place and we really do get the kind of just society we really do deserve.
This is why I disagree with that guy, Lotus Feet, who has bad grammar, can't spell and who says our ideas would only work on Mars,
