Look Glenn, don't worry about Palins' Putin.

We'll all be dang lucky to make it out (alive!) over the next 40 days (& nights). And even if we do make it through, there won't be no money left to buy anything. Dogfood will be going for $1k a bag on the street.

It's been like losing blood, one drop at a time, for last 8 years and then, suddenly, one last swift stab in the back on the way out ...it is really quite impressive just how much fhaos that cucked-up little sumbitch can do.

39 days,

bah.

Well, sysprog, you can bet (on the 29th) that if there has been any "conspiracy" or "obstruction" goings on ... McCain is, has been and will for ever be again'st it. *He spoke-out again'st it then, in his 'anti anti-everything' remarks a while back. If I recall.

The point is, McCain is in charge. He has the right strategy (why) for all the wrong tactics (how). For sure.

end of debate,

bah.

ps. Glenn. pardon our interruption on your surveillence and wiretapping Scandal. multi-tasking.

Frankly,

I didn't find the SNL skit that humorous.

Ya' know...every dang girl-friend I have, to a one, now answers the phone in that annoying "thanks, but no thanks" and that "...i'll git bac to ya'" BS. Personally, I fail to see the humor in that!

doing without,

bah.

More or less.

My 3-point bail-out plan:

1. Fire (or, even better,impeach) Bush and his whole dang crew. I figure the renewed sense of confidence achieved from such a bold and sensible course of action would get a 1,000+ point bump on the markets on the first day of trading. That's a $Trillion right there, at least. It would only improve after tat.

2. Cut-out the middle wo/man. Giving the (10-50?) debt-ridden investment bankers a $Trillion injection of liquidity at this point, is not unlike giving another beer to a drunken sailor. (see 'The River Run Yellow', by Who Pee Freely for details.) They could just as well give it to me instead... I'm at least half-sober.

3. Fumigate (don't let bop hear me say that.) our financial market. Yes, I'm afraid there are so many nasty micro-organisms and derivatives in the financial blueberry patch, we must fumigate and start afresh. *I'm rather fond of Noble Prize winner Muhammad Yunus, see his book 'Banking to the poor, Micro-Lending and the Battle Against World Poverty.

a penny saved,

bah.

I landed on the skull of a GOP'er once, but no one was home.

I didn't want to fumigate in vain.

:,

bah.

May have been averted. To make the financial 'bill' more attractive to Republicans, they've raised FDIC insured deposit limits from $100,000 to $250,000 (per account). Whew... that's a load off.

...

Cold, cruel banishment Glenn. Where would you send them? Who would have them?

You could send them here, over yonder, but I don't think they would make it through the winter.

tough love,

bah.

Of course, I don't what He is doing the rest of the time./

Look hear Bill: what if God was one of us. Just a stranger on a bus. Trying to make Her way home. Huh, i think you may have overlooked that part of the story. You know, on earth like in heaven and everything.

And speaking of heaven on earth Bill, I kinda like your HBO show. ... especially, your rather wry (rye?) sense of political 'pop' culture. woot. A little rash sometimes, but your political instincts seem reasonable at times.

I will say, my main problem with 'judging', Bill, is the 'lest ye be judged' part. yikes. Of course a feller is gonna judge anyway Bill, you know that, who told you couldn't? Besides, the faith of no man can be conditioned by anyone but his-self. (*& don't believe a word you hear ... unless of course it's true.)

Now, comes the plaintiff, Bill, who says Jesus ain't nothing but a fairy tale. Maybe, Bill, but The greater, overwhelming, Preponderence of scientific evidence is that Jesus was, indeed, a real, live human being Who walked the face of the earth. In fact, to argue otherwise is rather silly, not mention to unreasonable. ...so, what you talking bout' son. Are you daft?

Allah is great,

bahhummingbug

ps. I don't know about 'talking snakes', but have you ever been to a 'snake handler' meeting? They talk "to" snakes ... and, I swear, it seems to work like a charm. Hard to believe, but there it is.

But she ain't getting my six pack. She can wink all she wants to. (*besides, I don't date married women.)

It may have been the six pack distorting my hearing, but I didn't hear no debate whatsoever. ...just a come-on from Sarah down on second ave, maybe.

bah.

~re. financial shambles (i.e. The Great Panic of 2008). I find it more than a little odd that nobody, nobody in any position of authority, was even sounding a alarm less than a month ago. (*ex. McCain 'the fundamentals are strong'.) I tend to think the greater 'fear' in this case, is the fear itself.

Just for instance, "... I asked her if she had ever encountered an intelligent person who privately believed in the Immaculate Conception* - which of course she hadn't; and I also asked her if she had ever seen an intelligent person who was daring enough to publicly deny his belief in that fable and print the denial. Of course she hadn't encountered any such person."

As a follow-up, someone ought to ask Palin/McCain if they think the Iraq War was conceived by the doctrine of Immaculate Conception... or what? (*There have been two (2) debates now, ostensibly on 'national secruity' issues and not one question on *WHY* the U.S. is at war in Iraq. How can that be - there must be a reason?)

I've got a headache,

bah.

*Throughout Mark Twain's writing, he confuses the doctrine of the Immaculate Conception with that of the Virgin Birth of Christ. (Devoto)
