Relax!

Romney is the republican candidate for president. Didn't you read the script?

Right there on page 54, "McCain, has health problem and bows out of the race." You didn't think they were actually going to run McCain, did you?

I am not touching that line with a ten foot pole.

Original article: Clinton to aim at McCain

"aim" +"Assassination Plot" = propaganda + comedy gold

You people are shameless.

But hilarious at the same time - just in a creepy way.

@kufir77

You know what is funny.

Bush's daddy's company Lilly came up with Prozac.

Got a problem with meds and happy pills? You really should be hating BUSHCO.

Those pHARMaceutical holdings were put into a "blind trust" so the public couldn't see or know about them while he was vice president and president.

You hate them drugs and your hero is their pusher and manufacturer.

YEEEEEHAW!

They also came up with synthetic marijuana and made sure that was approved by the FDA. (but the stuff that grows from the ground is "bad" for you)

Have you watched television lately?

That commercial is wholesome goodness compared to the network's fare.

Georgia!

But, but, but, it's the ancient homeland of the . . .

But, but, but, it's the only bastion of freedom and democracy surrounded by people who hate the US for our freedoms.

But, but, but, that oil pipeline from Iran to Russia is stealing OUR OIL!!!

But, but, but, American and Israeli advisors are in harms way - plus Blackwater! Will someone please think of the MERCENARIES?

But, but, but, the Russians stole our stuff and we really need those Humvees back or else the terrorists will win!

But, but, but, people are starting to no longer believe in Al Qaeda.

But, but, but, the Russians shot down one of our drones!

But, but, but, Zbigniew Brzezinski want to lead a column of US tanks into Red Square before he dies.

Vote Obama. Elect War with Russia!

Cold War II - the next 8 years.

That's the plan. Obama will try to tame that bear.

How much is that going to cost the taxpayer?

@jhudson2

"two rifles ... a high-powered scope, a bulletproof vest, a walkie-talkie, several boxes of ammunition and some methamphetamine."

Doesn't every wingnut carry this kind of stuff around in his car?

Get yourselves all riled up and offended.

Joan really should start hiring some adults.

Oh those decadent Europeans!

You never saw "The Garden of Earthly Delights" and never heard of Hieronymus Bosch.

Yeah, you probably never go to Landmark theatres either.

Americans - soooo jejune.

Neo Nazis on Meth

You think there just might be a little bit wrong with this country?

Keep race baiting Salon - "What's up with black names, anyway?".

Neo Nazis on Meth just love that stuff.

Fluff and a waste of ascii characters.

Will someone think of the bandwidth???

Original article: Isn't she lovely?

I used to go to church.

I was flipping the channels and saw her preaching and it sounded just like she was introducing Jesus Christ. Lifting text from sermons is highly effective but it turns me off. The rerun of Prison

Break was far less offensive.

The Panamanian prison scenes did make me think of Congress, albeit populated by a far more wholesome looking crowd.

@jmcdsf

They will figure it out by the 10th month of Obama's presidency.

That is when the script pulls out the stops and goes hog wild. Hollywood is still good for something.

@ Klytus

I question the mental capacity of any adult who believes a politician.

@David Zax

Here is a title for your next article:

"What's up with black hair, anyway?

Oh wait, Barack Obama's hair isn't extraordinary in any way.

Never mind.

/now that's proper propaganda - clever and indirect.

Monday, August 25, 2008 07:25 PM

Change? RIIIIGHT!

Carter brought change.

Reagan brought change

Clinton brought change.

Bush brought change.

Obama brings change.

Same old same old.

Corporations uber alles.

Original article: Big fat contradictions

Watching TV to lose weight . . .

. . . is marginally better than eating fast food to lose weight.

Whenever a show to lose weight comes on, turn it off and walk a couple of miles instead.

Make it a National Holiday and Celebrate it like Christmas,

Only instead of buying presents, just take half of your money out of the bank and send it to your favorite defense contractor.

No, no, no, it isn't protection money, it is tribute.

You know, they can fly airplanes into buildings anytime they want to. What are you gonna do? Complain to the government?

@Clockwork Smurf

I stand corrected and intend no slight to those with those two conditions or other similar issues. My expertise is in those with a behavioral condition that even N.A.M.I. are prudent enough to distance themselves from.

You know, what the pols and news people have.

Original article: The heretic

The CULPRIT - unconventional behavior did him in!

That let's the Church off the hook!

Most likely he caught fire all by himself for being too fiery, combustible and causing too much friction between himself and the true believers of the true Church.

Don't get me started on Joan of Arc . . .

@filosofickle

People with a certain condition cannot parse parody, satire or sarcasm very well. Tends to make them angry and upset as they do not get it.

There is a lot of that going on today and given the state of psychiatry there shall be a lot more of it in the future.

@JM Walker

That is Joan Walsh's strategy - to make us feel superior to their writers and increase the number of page hits.

These articles are like train wrecks, albeit toy train wrecks.

Ah, the Addams Family enoyed train wrecks and so shall we.

Must.

Lower.

Common.

Denominator.

I think that most people realize that it is a joke and that the film is comic in nature.

I hope that clears it up for you.
