Went to my 30th last year. Excellent time, nice open bar. Saw some people I hadn't seen in many years.

Caught up with out-of-state friends/aquaintances on what was going on in their lives.

I recommend going as a general rule.

is how when McCain or his stooges reference bad times previously in America, it is always a Republican government that are dissing (just about every bad thing in last 8 years is Bush/Cheney's fault).

The allusion to the 'Watergate Days' is of course lamenting (with crocodile tears) the huge pile of money Nixon amassed for his 72 re-election.

In the debates, McCain repeatedly talks about the failed policies of Herbert Hoover, while (I guess) hoping that viewers don't remember Hoover was a Republican.

I just sent Sen. Obama $240.00 at mid Oct. so I'm hoping we have a record October to boot.

Send some money, put up a yard sign, have a bumper sticker, volunteer. Obama for America!

who said about some daydreams she has about out current POS Pres: 'And then I pray for forgiveness because I don't want that really, I just want him to KNOW. It's what all abused children want, and we as a nation are abused children right now.'

I have mine, although they're more about Cheney than Shrub. If I were him (Bush) I'd want yours to come true rather than mine (which are more along the line of what the Iroquois did to captured settlers).

Maybe I'll get some forgiveness in me in future years.

who said: 'B)any intelligent person knows if Obama was as bad as the Republicans make him out to be he would never have gotten this far. Let's give it a rest.'

Now I know you caveated with the word 'intelligent' :-), but many regular Repub voters don't know what you're saying about Sen. Obama's political conventionalness (don't know if that's a word or not, but if it isn't, I have coined it!).

The reason is that they see all their evil little fucks & how they've managed to get as far as they have & think 'well maybe he is a secret Islamo-Commie Free Mason Mau Mau who managed to infiltrate into the U.S. Senate'.

That's why (IMO) you have to respond to these character assasinations in a very serious manner (you may use humor in your rebuttal, derisive laughter can work very well, but you have to rebut).

I think Sen. Obama & his team understands this.

on the WWCPS. You get a .05 deduction for no 'Sexual Personae' reference. Other than that minor quibble, you nailed it.

who asked: 'What will the "We Hate Sarah Club" do after November?'

I expect we'll all be nursing our hangovers from the partying we commenced on 5 Nov. Then I expect we'll engage in a marathon session of recaping Sarah's greatest hits, with lots of bile & snark (of course).

Oh, then we'll be getting ready for Xmas, Hanukkah, Kwanza, etc. (boy, will it be a happy celebration this year) & after the end of festivities (for me the last of the bowl games), I expect we'll get right back to ragging onh her & her deluded fool supporters.

How about you?

if the unnamed consultant has ties to Israel? Lieberman is the 'senator from Tel Aviv' and if he were expelled from the caucus and had to be a dejure member of the minority caucus (and hopefully really in the minority), then he certainly would be in a much less powerful position to advance the 'likudnick agenda' (which is: Get America to spend all its treasure & blood to fight Israel's wars for her).

Inquring minds want to know...

then get out of the kitchen. This kind of vulgar parodying has been going on for centuries. Julius Caesar was thought to have been the love-boy of a Greek king named Nicodemus. When debating in the Senate, that rumour was a favorite putdown by other senators debating him (Cicero loved to gig him on that).

Sarah Palin is a 'public citizen' for libel purposes. The 'Broadsheet Ladies' are not. Joan Walsh, by virtue of multiple TV appearances, may be considered a 'public citizen' as well (I'm not a lawyer, so I'm just conjecturing here).

If you are going to put yourself forward & attempt to become VP of the USA, or Pres, or Sen., or a TV personality, then you'll probably be skewered at some time or another. That goes with the territory.

Frankly, I'm surprised Bob has his panties in a wad about this. For you Paliniacs, I'm sure you'll be seeing Obama porn parodies, lots of them.

Juliebird commented: 'was the moral, church-going, serial adulterer with the pornographic tattoos. (God. Just look at that sentence. I can't help but laugh).

Why? Because I can't imagine 3 women as beautiful as they were depicted wanting to date a guy like him.'

I'll bet my next paycheck that he was lying his ass off. I think I've even seen tatoos about like that on someone else down here in Kentucky. It is definitely a pattern they were inked from.

I thought the funniest part was the interview with the current mayor.

let's not count our chickens before they hatch. Or to use an old Norse proverb: 'Praise not the day until evening has come'.

We still have 12 days & while I feel better about this one than any since 96, 12 days is an eternity in Pres. politics.

If you don't have an Obama yard sign, get one. Send a donation or volunteer.

Thank you for explaining yourself. I shouldn't have used term 'getting panties in a wad', it was not professional & I apologize.

I do not agree with your point of view here, but I'm glad we both can debate the pros & cons here in Salon.

I did think Juliebird had a good point up above.

If that Republican spokeswoman thinks Gov. Palin is going to give her $150,000 worth of swag to 'charity'!! Boy, I'd like to be there when they try to take away her Lizardskin boots & give them to Goodwill.

Man, what a hoot.
