After all in these most polarized of times, voters, if they bother to vote at all have all made up their minds already. It comes down to the few people who can be shamed or scolded into abandoning their own stupid cardboard ideologies while holding their noses. The money that election industries create and consume seems to be almost besides the point. After all, people, particularly Americans don't want to be presented with issues, they don't want to think. They just want to pretend their vote is a rock smashing in the face of someone they hate. I can guarantee that if all national elections suddenly stop campaigning for the next 12months it wouldn't make the slightest difference in the outcome barring someone's maccaca moment or being caught with a live boy or a dead girl in their bed, or in those few Republican nailbiters, a plane crash. Otherwise they all get all the vacuous noise and dickwaving they need, from the 'news' for free.

Me? I'm a vagitarian.

Is the people are driven more by perceptions of shortage than they are by price. When we perceive that there might be waiting lines for gas tomorrow we tend to pay any price to get it today. Two years ago after Katrina the news offered us doom. Gas supply was going to drop by some ungodly number. So people ran out and bought it up which gave an incentive to suppliers to ratchet up the price which fueled the perception of scarcity and so on. Now we appear to be looking at higher prices for no obvious reason at all so there is no longer a percpetion of scarcity. Perhaps people believe that it's temporary condition, and if if it isn't, there will certainly be enough available so that people won't face the dreaded gas lines. It's even possible that consumers in part are comforted by the notion that if we pay a little bit too much the supply will never be turned off. So I would suggest there is no fundamental tipping point in behavior until price is coupled to scarcity. If oil companies predicted shortages at the same time they ratchet prices past $4/gal it would only spur a temporary spike which would have the effect of driving prices temporarily higher. Then after a few weeks they ease price off again and the new stable price is $4/gal.

Chris Matthews is the apotheosis of craven dickwaving hack. The man was a benchwarmer, a nothing until he discovered one day he could win a 7 figure contract. All he had to do was stand up on his desk and scream "Clinton" 3 million times as vodka spittle flew from browned lips. Honestly, A JFK Peace Corp Democrat? Yeah so is Dick Morris, his soulmate. I would pay to see that hydrogen head explode on air like the Hindenburg.

Utter anything with 10% of that truth content. Let's face it, when tyhe chips are down, whomever is the DNC candidate will still have the same non-opinion about the war as Kerry did.

You the voice of his Scottish terrier in his head, yeah.

What'd you do for independence day on Monday? Burn a flag? Or punch a Jewish kid?

We're all just becoming pussies. And not in any gender relative way either. Soon all Americans will be wearing respirators and bike helmets, sun hats, SPF33, water bottles and hand sanitizer at the ready, homeopathic pills to fend off the flu. Everyone will claim to have carpal tunnel and allergies to everything. Flying? We're a nation of helpless agorophobes.

And she'll be a jarhead asshole forever. I have to say, personally, I hate cops. I'd pretty much stop talking to any relative who became a cop if that ever happened. But that's just me. I figure if that's what they want to be then they should hang out with all their cop buddies and leave the rest of us the hell alone.

I don't care what kind of insane shit you spout. That's fine, you justify it and whatever crazyassed crackpot planet you live on I'm sure it makes perfect sense. But this notion that one has to defend and explain and justify what they do to their 'friends' is hysterically funny. End of story. Slam the door in his/her face and never speak to them again. If one of friends suddenly announced they were a Salon premium member with all the requisite Jew bashing and multicultural PC hatespeech, I'd wish them well with their new life in the nation of Fuckwitstan, slam down the phone and never speak to them again. Live long and perspire. Don't take it personally I just don't bother with toxic retards. So yeah, fur is murder, don't eat meat, marry your Malamute for all I care.

It's a tough neighborhood what with 400 million people wanting you dead. That posers like you clap and cheer for dead Jews is neither interesting nor even particularly unique. But again, what did you do? Did you burn some flags? Write in your blog about the evil Yid menace? Did you send money to help the nearly 900 dead Palestinians killed at the hands of OTHER Palestinians this year? Did you write a thank you note to the Hadassah hospital, who's organ transplant unit is run by Palestinian doctors (in Israel). Did you send off a missive to the 1.2 million Israeli Arabs who, unlike all the other Arabs in the mideast, get to vote in open elections?

No of course not. Reality never occurs to racist monsters like you. So blog your blogging entries. Send off a note to Mark Elf in England. I'm sure you'd be best buddies. Call up George Galloway. He like you sees a dark Jewish plot behind everything. You know a friend of mine actually left England to join the fighting in Iraq, FOR THE OTHER SIDE. Haven't heard from them in a number of years. I guess they're dead. Where's your courage, mate? Where's your suicide belt?
