Or is yours codespeak for the fact that he won't bow down to the same groups or organizations, religions,foreign govts. that you yourself may hold preferentially over the greater US populace???

It is my fervrent hope that even if Obama did bow down to these groups they would not trust him to carry out their aims!

Leaving Obama no alternative but to explore other alternatives.

For God's sake, almost anything would be better,

Almost. In English it would be rendered Thebig. Derbig is the German. Everywhere else they render over an open fire, damn them! But I get a good tan out of it, anyway!

I'm begining more and more to see that there are two hot blooded people running for president,

Do they do more than dance? Can they get away from you-know-who? I suggest we check it and see!

I totally agree, totally. And the worst thing about Obama is the incredible combination of brain-freeze and exploding head he seems to cause in his critics. Don't let him do it to you, joejoe, my friend! Resist! Resist with all your might!

A man who thinks for himself and searches for the truth. A man who is honest enough to admit misgivings and mistakes. And a man who believes that taking care of his mind is as important as taking care of his body. If he has integrity and some dirt under his nails, then so much the better, because I like to garden.

It's like I'm always telling my wife, Pedinska:"Look, baby, I'm the poet-warrior-philosopher-pirate type, and bacon, and it's arrival at the homestead is not really my line."

The John McCain who graduated last in his class, drank like a fish, but learned the trick of starting his jet's engine "wet" with fuel so it belched out a big flame. See, it's a joke on the pilot behind. Well, except on the US Forrestal it "cooked off" some unstable 1000 bombs, and unecessary death and destruction followed. And did he do that again, on the next ship? I forget.

Being the original "fortunate son" McCain was transferred instead of court-martialed.

Our next President? Pathetic.

I wonder, are we really ready for that?

America is just as afraid to stop a war, as they are eager to start one. Strange, isn't it? Afraid to stop a war!

Chuck Norris sleeps with the light on, cause the dark is afraid of him!

"Lydia, The Tattooed Lady"

Hilary, Oh Hilary,

Why do you get pilloried,

Just for making milk,

and cookies?

If I, If I, were Obama!

Not Hilary, nor huckabee, or Mitt.

I'd gather votes with a-plomb-a

I'd unify, and stupefy, not insist!

Look, I'm just spitballing here. Just seeing what will stick. It's not as if I'm married to this material. If some big-time TV producer wants to advance me several hundred thousand smackers, I'd fly to Kenya and look for material. Then I'd keep right on going. So long, suckers! I'm getting the hell out before the election.

We are talkin' pimps and ho's upstairs! Into an atmosphere of rareafied salasciousness I am drawn, like a moth to a flambe'!

Were you angry with Bill Clinton for the same reasons

Yes, I was, and I felt I had every right to be. Jesus, Glen, I might be a son of a bitch (opinions vary on this), but I would never, never do to my wife what he did to Hilary (I'm not interested in whether Hilary can take care of herself, that's not the issue) nor, do I consider it any great burden to live up to at least the must basic and cursory of my marriage vows. Nor do I consider it to have taken a Rhodes-scholar mind to know what the most probable consequences would be, that zoftig little prietzkh was gonna wail like a muezzin soon's she had the chance.

So yeah, on that basis, and that basis alone, I was pretty disappointed with old Bill, yes. A man his age who didn't know a girl like that couldn't hold her mud is a pretty sad spectacle.

are by no means necessarily the same thing. If Spitzer could not obtain equal or greater sexual stimulation by just holding hands with a schicksa than even the most ardent ministrations of all the courtesans in the seraglio could provide, he is one sad customer. Yes, I am aware that seraglios are usually habitated by wives or concubines who make up the harem, but who am I to deny Spitzer any extra zest he needs.

Eliot, stick with the schicksas, leave the prostitutes alone.

This means to me that the Constitution and civil rights are protected and telecoms who are asked under pressure to assist in an emergency...

That dumb cluck in the picture

What "emergency"? Was a national emergency declared, and emergency rules promulgated, and I missed it? Like I missed the declaration of war from Congress?

There was no "emergency" which suspended normal laws.

I find it almost physically impossible to "make small talk"..

Thank Goddess I decided to peek in at Greenwald's today! Mark my words, my Achy-breaky friend, what you are describing sounds like, sounds like ("How many syllables Mario?, How many syllables?") the first phase of Asperger's Syndrome-by-proxy Syndrome, (by proxy)

This is a serious condition which should not be left untreated!

But I do want to tell you this: with incredible sacrifice and pain, and at great expense, and with the co-operation of all your friends and relatives and a little Divine assistance, this condition may be slightly alleviated, somewhat, to a degree, maybe.

It's up to you, but I will help all I can. Oh, don't thank me. It's just what I do to help treat my own case.

You might search the web for other survivor-and-sufferer groups. Group support means a lot.
