A little bit of both -- the three stressed syllables of his name --Oh-Ba-Ma Oh-Ba-Ma -- remind me of the knuckleheads chanting U.S.A. at whatever chance they get. I don't like, it's a wee bit ribal for my taste. That and the 'Hoo-haws' the crazy baldheads give whenever the C-in-C puts on his C-in-C duds and gives a pep talk. But if you really really really want scary, or creepy, or whatever, watch Mrs. McCain when she stands beside him on the podium. Is it just me, or does she not look like a meth-addled Annie Coulter watching a tennis match??? The black eyeliner, the boxtoxed perma-smile. Yikes!!

Means good?? As in, Hey Daddy-o, this cat has flipped his wig & is totally gone?? "Beat-me-daddy-eight-to-the-bar" kind of good?? Okay, whatever. Speaking of action figures, and at $40 a pop, they better move AND speak, here are a few . . .

First off, The Stick doll

(Yes, it does talk, or rather, snarls. It does not include cigarettes, martini or drivers licences)

The Zeus of the Right, the next face to be hewn on Mt. Rushmore: "We have a date with destiny . . . to infinity & beyond!!"

Ol' Hickory hisself, Donnie Rumsfeld ("Stuff happens . . . ")

(I wonder what this baby in an unopened box will bring on e-bay???)

And yes, Commander Codpiece himself!!

(Other really great dolls at this site include a Dennis Miller yuk, yuk comedy doll)

Sheesh, they hate us for our freedoms already . . .

So, I start reading here, and then the racist hatemonger David Sugarman's nom de plume shows up. And I'm out of here. I don't eat dinner at the same table as dogs. Good-bye.

. . . for your canary to take a dump on.

I mean, bring on the clowns. What? They're already on??

The earnest, but laughable Bowtie Boy actually has the chutzpah to say,"But I mean, since journalistic standards in Great Britain are so much dramatically lower than they are here, it's a little much being lectured on journalistic ethics by a reporter from the "Scotsman"?"

Ah, America. And folks wonder why the rest of the world is laughing behind our backs.

. . . is listening to The Stick herself read her own stuff. Jaysus, but those audio books are scary.

Fortunately, for most 'Murican folks, and 95% of the world's population, we don't have to wear a silly uniform, totally silly sunglasses, say, "Sir, yes, sir", and salute people who you wouldn't ordinarily even share a glass of beer with. And this is something even considered a priority for the world's most powerful (well, that's what they say) human being??

My dad, lawd love him, was a man of strong convictions and he didn't mince words. He use to say things like, "Americans are a&&holes . . .", or "Politicians only do two things well . . . . lie & pander", and, "Folks get the leadership they deserve".

Glenn writes, "The fact that he's being re-elected with no opposition demonstrates his extremely strong political standing, i.e., that he cast these votes because they reflect what he believes. What's to celebrate about the fact that someone like that -- with that belief system -- is returning to the Senate?"

In other words, he knows he has the support of the majority of folks in Arkansas, n'est ce pas?? Which means my dad wouldn't get a cigar for his generalizations. I don't know about Americans, per se, but it would appear that most Arkansanians (?!) really are a&&holes . . .

Paul Daniel Ash queries: "a&&holes -- How do you pronounce that?"

Just like it's spelt.

P-R-Y-O-R

Congrats! Considering that you work out of your home 'mum's basement??) not really surprising. And that you are a large component of Gomer's Pile (ie. w/p/m/ wingnut hack), it ain't surprising. And like your namesake, you are tyruly a pathetic POS.

War crimes, indeed. In the real world, 60 + years ago, most of your friends in the capitule would be seriously worried about getting their necks stretched. Back in the day, a lot of them exited themselves (in shame), but this new crew will definitely go down with the ship -- wearing the women's and children's lifejackets. Sazd little mushroom-men such as yourself will have to find a new environment to hide in. Sad, but true.

The threshold has been passed, now the talk gets just plain silly. The theme, as I recall, was about how some ingenious folks are using the big lie, and seem to be getting the response to what they are doing. Let's get back on track and stop this silly p!ssing contest.

Sheesh, enough already -- Only two things you gotta know in life;

1) Politicians lie (there are no exceptions to this). Some more than others, others are more grandiose in their lies. But in the end, politicians lie.

2) People are lazy. Laziness breeds ignorance, ignorance begets stupidity, stupidity leads to laziness.

BTW: "it may be time to cross the border if repugs have their way with this election." I doubt the Canadians want you. And remember, it's very very easy to leave America. It sure is difficult to get back in.

After the loss of all the blood & treasure, etc. Doncha just hate those cliches??? Looking back, this dirty illegal immoral and unwinnable invasion (doesn't warrant the label 'war') will just be another short chapter in the long book of history -- the powerful using the ignorant to project their power on those who are less powerful and who refuse to bend their knee. Nothing new here. This just happens to be going on during our watch. A pox on those who supported and cheered on this war of aggression and the oppression of independent peoples anywhere. And to hell with you folks who call this a defense of democracy and a fight for freedom. Not in my name, sir.
