Original article: Obama's borrowed words

Ah, Yes...the Day the Rose Colored Glasses come off...

On the day that Obama tells us, after he's elected of course, that, damn, there just isn't going to be any healthcare reform. Why? Because the Republicans don't want it and it got watered down to nothing, it'll cost too much, young people don't need it (since they voted me in and I don't really care about Seniors - whoa, old just like Clinton and all those old women followers who are scared of losing their lives and what money they have left. But who cares about them?) and it's not THAT BIG OF A DEAL.

On the day that Obama tells us, after he's elected of course, that Al Quaeda is still in Iraq so we can't leave. But we say, you promised. And he says, hey, you just didn't read the fine print on my website about this. If Al Quaeda stays, we stay. But it's NO BIG DEAL.

On the day that Obama tells us, after he's elected of course, that economic plan just won't work anyway it was a copy of Clinton's anyway. Just changed the figure's around a little bit. BUT THAT'S NO BIG DEAL.

On the day that some Obama insider defects and tells us, after Obama's elected of course, all those speeches he gave were Martin Luther King sound-a-likes. Yep, sounds just like MLK. intonation, words, and everything!! Just mixed the words around of course but the theme and sound of his voice, wow, sounds exactly the SAME!! Of course, anyone who bothered to listen to them could have told us THAT. Not exactly Obama originals but no RIP OFF THERE! OF COURSE NOT. BUT, even if it were, IT'S NO BIG DEAL.

But we're all so enamored of him right now that we don't care about ANY of this, just like the Republicans were of George Bush. It's NO BIG DEAL about lies and plagerism. What integrity? Who needs integrity?!!!! Not OUR President. Integrity is NO BIG DEAL!!!

RED FLAGS, anyone???? Oh, I forgot, ANY criticism of Obama is, well, racist.

Now, You've Done It...

You do know, McClelland, that admitting this is forbidden? You do know that any rumor that there might be anything GOOD about Clinton is immediately beaten into the earth for fear that it will somehow besmirch the next-to-godliness of Obama? Or admitting that some men (gasp!) won't vote for her because she's a (gasp!) woman, is completely, well, INSANE?

And all the other has-to-be-true SHIT that's said about her that could just be a bunch of hooey blown up to look like real shit is going to hit the fan for you because of this? You do know this, don't you?

I would seriously suggest getting your ego into a plastic sealed anti-contamination suit made with strictest of EPA standards on...right...about...NOW.

Anonymous 9:39, You Are Either Mistaken or You Jest

AKA Smith does not and has not ever called a poster a name (at least a name they didn't deserve) or insulted someone out of hand.

Wow, if that's the only "defense" you can come up with against AKA Smith...you lose!

No, jamiso

It's not "girls" you don't like, it's women.

But I imagine that's lost on you.

Original article: Anonymous no more

About Time.

Although, I can "sort of" see the anonymity of anonymous (brain twister, there) being a plus for people saying things that they normally would be afraid to say, it never seemed to add up completely considering the degree of anonymity already present to a degree in a screen name.

Regardless, I think in the long run this requires people to think more carefully about their words and the "reputation" they acquire because of them.

So, Far Out.

Original article: Hillary at twilight

What I Wish...

I wish that Clinton would win. Why? Because when she's through, Obama can then take her place and we will have GUARANTEED at least 8 to 16 years of a Democrat in office.

I also wish she would win because she is such a fighter and I think that says something extraordinary about her that all the Hillary haters can't see in their frustrated rage at Bush that is redirected at her. And, yeah, I sure some one will go on with same old diatribe about her, but I just don't think they see the possibility here with her.

I truly feel that she is what she says she is. A workhorse. And that given the opportunity, she will work her ASS off to prove herself in office, if for no other reason to make all the naysayers wrong. I love her ambition and the absolute fight she has in her. That's strength, determination and WILL if ever there was.

And that's a deal if ever there was one for the American people in a President. And it's sad, not so much for her, but for us. Because I truly think we just missed out on the opportunity of lifetime.

Original article: "Semi-Pro"

Semi-Tough

It's a free country. If you don't want to see the movie, don't watch it. I'm sure that there are many people that want to.

Having said that, while I'm a fan of Ferrell I'm not a big fan of these movies that he does most of the time, but my thought is he keeps doing it looking for one part or script that actually clicks through to genius. Perhaps there an art within the stupid lunacy that he keeps trying for? Perhaps the boy just wants to have fun...and get paid for it? Perhaps when this type of movie no longer makes a buck, both the studio and Ferrell will stop doing them. Until then...
