In America everything slugs along with a near failing GPA, forever. There's really no way to distinguish success and failure, in anything. So all that matters is how much you insult and hate and get others to hate everyone who disagrees with you. It's really not going to matter as Obama swings ever more to the Center and coops the salient points of the right in order to get RE elected in 2012. We'll still be in Iraq and Afghanistan. We'll still be limping along economically. The right will still be screaming about abortion and gay marriage. Bridges will still be falling down. Airports will still suck. Healthcare will still be unaffordable.
And the Democrats will run with the premise of "Imagine how much worse it could have been" while the GOP runs with "These commie queer terrorists will force you to have gay sex while they raise your taxes".
Crush her. Crush her with brutal efficiency and keep crushing her. Hit her so hard she doesn't get up again and as a warning to the others. Break her. Beat her into the ground. Otherwise that virus will pop up again to run for Ted Stevens Senate seat. And it will win.
Well he is one corrupt bastard so if the fix is in it wouldn't shock me.
DL Hugely has a gig on CNN now. In case you were upset that the black, republican, racist, stand up comedian demographic wasn't getting enough airplay.
In fact I'm from the future.
And get a little work down on your neck, dearie.
Anything less than a 5% victory will get tossed to the Supreme Court for them to declare a tie. And tie always goes to the Republican. It's the law.
We haven't had an honest to god genuinely interesting suicide in some time. Destroy her destroy her family the lot of them.
Assuming of course there is a clear winner and we don't need to ask Antonin Scalia to coronate a Republican, there are going to be riots in the streets on Nov 5. Who-ever-wins.
Low impact beneficence on the backs of others. I'm afraid that Ms. Atwood with nearly zero skin in the game is brave as only they can be to chant "Turn the other cheek". One wonders if 4 planes crashed into housing flats and office bldgs in Toronto and Vancouver. Of course Canada wouldn't mount a war, because they are unable to do so, none the less the sentiment I expect would still exist.
McPalin must be ground into the muck and erased from history.
It's true that
a) the first year or three of college is remedial nonsense they were all stoned to learn in high school.
b) most people barely need more than an 8th grade education to make it in the McWorld.
But a lot of backwards hat wearing slackers, homies and frat boys pay for the few who actually get something out of the experience. Cut enrollment by half and colleges will double or triple the price.
But honestly, Community College is probably the way to go. Get your AA, and, if you want transfer 70% of those credits to a BS or BA program. It's cheaper, it's just as rigorous and you can stop after two years with something to show for it.
More and more high schools are starting programs that graduate HS students with an AA degree - take on another year, a 13th grade as it were and you get a HS diploma and a 2 year college degree. This is a great solution and I highly recommend it.
And I want them die, right there, mid word. I want McCain and Palin to get struck by lightening.
The real estate developers and brokers worked with the school district to sidetrack lower performing students from the SAT or applying to college. This improved the overall statistics of those who did which improved housing prices. Which is kind of elegant in a semi-evil way.
The poor will always be with you.
Whoever. Rednecks, Rodney King II. Doesn't matter. Flames in major cities.
Who aren't or haven't cheated on their husbands. Not a one.
Throw my phone at them?
The Fossil-Americans will find a way to screw this up.
"I thought I was at the ATM"
"I wanted to vote for Truman"
"Do you know where my shoe is?"
"I wet myself"
"Where's Denny's?"
Chinga chinga Bow wowwww
Logistically it's rather difficult and we don't have nearly the rail system of the 3rd Reich. But either way be it black rage or redneck rage, no matter. Someone somewhere is going to erupt and it will be awesome.
Don't forget you're the people who've promised a suspension of elections, Martial Law and atomic war with Iran for about, oh, 5 years now.
Palin will appoint herself interim Senator, will run in his place, and win.
We might as well be a third world country. It wouldn't bother me. Let McPalin win, it's really not going to make any material difference either way. Obama will be forced to back away from his tax plan. Congress has been on autopilot for 2 years and won't change now. Come 2010 you'll have the same complaints.
Just say that 12 million more times.
Beyonce has a 4 note range, and a fat lumpy ass. And she's as graceful as a walrus. She is the epitome of a no talent ho who sucked her way to the top.
Soon.
CSM started out as a polemic by Christian Scientist's founders to fight against Pulitzer's personal jihad against them. In the last 100 years it's become an entirely legit and respectable non religious newspaper that has won 8 Pulitzer prizes since.
And 'blew' in the same sentence. It's a cheap shot.
Palin will step in to run in his place and win. Same outcome.
