    natesmith124 Chicago huh...

    I have an Uncle in Palatine and lots of friends in Brookfield. Well I used to, two out of three are dead, but this is an election year. Let's not dwell on the negative. I agree with you, it is the Hawks drooling at going Napoleanic against Putin dressing up like Peter the Great. How many times do we have to go down this road? As for my apocalyptic vision I plead guilty. Sec of State Rice-a supposed expert on Eastern European Soviet/Russian machinations ( I do believe she is a PHD in the field) made her ridiculous comments the other day. The next president of the United States-take your pick Obama or McCain-are cock fighting over who has how many houses-and people wonder why I do not give a shit. Ever since George Carlin died I have been revisiting him on You Tube. He uses the phrases "Go fuck yourself", "fuck you", and "bullshit" alot. I truly hope that Barack Obama is everything that everyone wants him to be. I truly hope that John McCain is the maverick who will ride into Dodge and clean up this mess so we can all go to bed most assuredly that our wives are pure, our daughters are not sucking the balls of Lenny Kravitz wannabees and our sons are researching extra-terrestrial bio-dome capabilities and the psycedelic possibilities of ethanol. But there I go again. I just can't help myself. You take care.
