Original article: Palin pranked

Palin was pissed that she was passed to an assistant before the President

In other words she expected the President of France to wait on the line for HER assistant.

Ok there's about 9 things fucked up about that.

Original article: I Like to Watch

Anne Rice is a born again Christian now

You know that when your patron saint turns her back on that whole pop vampire thing, it's officially DEAD. Really dead, not just UNDEAD, but dead dead dead.

Original article: Overcoming in Ohio

I just got the allusion on your title

We shall O-ver-commme. We shall O-ver-comme. Gee and they say the patronizing racism of the left is over.

Original article: McCain gets mean

If Obama wins by less than 5% a tie goes to the Republican

So get ready for massive fraud in the battleground states. I'd say the odds are 50-50 for an outright theft of the election. This is why McCain picked Palin and why he's not that worried. Because it doesn't really matter. And when the Supreme Court plops the crown on his head, he'll be king. For about a year. Then he'll step down for 'health reasons' and Sarah Palin becomes the President of the United States Christian Church of Jesus the Warrior and we become a totalitarian theocracy.

I would recommend you at least get your passports renewed before March.

Original article: Barack Obama 2.0

Stop selling

Stop selling. And stop digging up the time some dog Palin kicked once. It's all pretty much over. And for the record, MOST of you had nothing but scorn for Obama before. And in the future his approval ratings will never stabilize above 50%. Everyone's got their own personal agendas their own hatefests. Your very own Greenwald RAILED against Obama's support of this whole FISA disaster. But we'll all pretend that didn't happen.

Great? There is no great. There is only politics. And if we look at the fringe elements that make up Salon we discover there is no one nowhere ever who could meet that standard. The first time Obama does something to the right of a bomb throwing communist you'll scream that he suddenly sold out.

Sure he does

All he has to do is dink with the voting, get all the votes he doesn't like tossed out and chuck the result in Scalia's lap for another 5-4 vote that awards it to him. There won't be a single thing above board or vaguely resembling a traditional fair western modern election on Tuesday. The only question remaining is whether the GOP governors will call tanks into the streets.

I'm hoping they do because the US really is a third world shithole country with a third world shithole government. They should at least be consistent and run their elections that way too.

No Jebbie, if McCain loses by more than 5%

Then Sarah Palin will get Stevens to quit and will run in his place. And she will win. As the Jr. Sinatorr from the Great State of Elaskarr she will have a prominent role in ENERGY POLICY.

Otherwise if McCain loses by less than 5% the tie goes to the Republican anyway, and Palin winds up President by 2010. And if McCain steps down one day after the halfway mark of his term, then Palin has the Constitutional eligibility to be President for TEN YEARS.

Imagine 10 years of Palin? Kinda awesome in a Hieronymus Bosch way.

Original article: McCain gets mean

And fuck all the Libertarians too

Seriously. Like a busload of Star Trek fans crashed into the John Birch society and did a ton of E. Hey everyone would like to smoke weed all day and watch midget cosplay porn. That doesn't make it a goddamn political movement.

Tell your soon to be ex to start the process

I mean what good is being passive aggressive if you can't get results. Tell him to pack his/her shit and leave. Tell them to call an arbitrator or attorney and get it started. Tell them they can't have the dog.

I have to say though it can be a risky gambit if they have a higher tolerance for your bullshit than your tolerance for anxiety. They may just refuse and call your bluff. In which case you have to go full on narcissist.

undecided is a euphemism for stark staring stupid

I'm not sure whether I want a corned beef sandwich or I want to be sodomized with power tools. I'm an undecided voter. Yesterday I talked to Elvis who was pushing shopping carts at the Harris-Teeter.

This is the flipside of racism, yes it is

The people who find it almost apostolic that a black man could be elected seem to me to be little different from the people who truly hate that prospect. It's the same kind of blockheaded unbelieving arrogance. Most people are not in fact bigots, not in a way that's meaningful to this election. How else do you explain black governors, senators, congressmen, mayors? Are they ALL from black voting blocs? Oh they might not want their grandchildren to be half black or half white. But that's far removed from the Office of the President or Governor or Senator.

How did Obama get elected in the first place? Are 51% of the Illinois voters blind bigots who see only color? So why is it "impossible"? I never believed this was about 'race' as much as the media badly needed it to be. I think people are largely indifferent to it.

We have so many other labels that stand in for impolitic hatreds: liberal, redneck, evangelical, atheist, Jew, elite, gay, California, radical, immigrant........etc etc where people are free to openly tell the world what ignorant fools they are. And they never have to reach for 'race' to do it.

Original article: Racists for Obama

Actually they support Obama because of what they think will happen

Skinhead groups support Obama because they believe his election will trigger a race war. This is what they themselves say. And as far as the Nation of Islam crowd is concerned, in case you were curious about black racists, who knows? They're all batshit crazy anyway.

One kook is a kook

10,000 kooks is a football game. 100,000 kooks is news story. A million kooks is the base of a political movement. A billion kooks is a religion.

Original article: Racists for Obama

Leroy Vaughn I think is a lone voice

When he lists the other 5 Black Presidents. He may or may not be accurate however he does often cite references of these men's political opponents. And given that we don't hold a candle to the dirt flinging in those early elections, it's not inconceivable that this was a lot of rumor mongering.

Interesting that President Morgan Freeman

Quotes the Shema. The Jewish prayer. Must make you folks boil as only liberal ire can.
