The preacher spoke the words:

"I now pronounce you cave man, and cave woman."

I'm a history buff, but not a history afficionado as some of my favorite writers (make that: commenters, not necessarily columnists) on this site are, but I had this early-on and continuing fascination with Rasputin. He *mesmerized* Nicholas & Alexandra. Is that's what's happening today? And who's doing the mesmerizing? Palin? McCain? The Messiah Obama? And who's the symbol for the ailing bleeder child--our country? Rhetorical questions.

BTW--I am soooooo tired of being told I'm brainwashed and not feminist for being an Obama supporter. I'd vote for Tina Fey over Palin, and if Hillary had run the winning campaign, I'd be in her corner...kinda like Mick was to Rocky. Some folks are tired of being denigrated by Obama-tons. I say there's just as much ugly talk being put toward anybody who thinks I drank the Kool-Aid (TM) and have an altar set up in my LR to worship The One!

Guess I'm mad tonight, hence the multiple postings.

I done seen it comin'!!! Soon, the US will be a Banana Republic, with Dictator-at-large instead of President.... reaping profits from all the nasty work like selling tourism and exporting technology to the rest of the ever richer world at large... banishment or imprisonment for your foes, the troublesome complainers and other wife cheaters.... no more whistle-blowers: The administration passing into the hands of shadow meddlers or something.... The congress and supreme court bought off with Alaska oil profits!!! or iPhone profits what ever....

DRILL DRILL DRILL THE BOYS ARE MARCHING!!!!

Oh yes.... the Bush Doctrine so much a fact of life, not questioned... don't even recognize it. The Bush What??? Are you a commie, Charlie??? Can't see the forest for the trees, anymore. Lets just cut them down and do away with the troublesome BLM...

.

It is I doing the mezmerizing

With a small dose of Robitussin.

"Shadow Dictatorship in the making..."

In the making...?

No, happening. Where have we all been the last eight years?

But that forest for the trees thing, seems tricky for the voter republic.

You can't mesmerize with Robitussin! (Even though in one of my favorite Chris Rock HBO specials, he talked about his dad saying "get the "'Tussin" to cure any ailment.)

I'm about ready to take a Percaset because I really bummed up my leg a couple weeks back. But that doesn't mean I can mesmerize! If only............

McCain's "bounce" just deflated

If you weren't so busy with mesmerism

I'd think you'd be elated.

Deflated. Ok, that's not always a good word, but in the context you "raised," it can be fabulous!

Yeah, I know to calm down. I'm just not always good at doing it. My mother always told me I think too much (bless her soul, she was right ;) Although I think my brother, my sibling political polar opposite, would say I FEEL too much. Either way, it's a bit much for one incorrigible gal to handle!

Another article about Palin!

Anybody care to talk about the economy, which McCain admittedly isn't very good at (obviously! cuz it's sound!), and which Palin's record shows leaving a $20 mill deficit in a 6,000 or so population town that had no debt when she became mayor?

Oh, the huge issues this country faces. But at least Todd's cute and Sarah's pretty. There's that.

Meanwhile...waiting to wake up to Salon and another article about Palin!

Thanks for pointing out that Sarah Palin is George Bush in lipstick.

The economy is melting down. The MILF from Alaska is old news.

The more we learn about Palin's brand of politics, the more it resembles what we've been living through with the Bush administration. Government is not a private business. If Alaskans love their governing couple, then by all means, they should keep them. Just don't bring them to my neighborhood.

Well by dropping that "e" on the end of dude, you get a dud!

I cannot fathom Palin and dude in the oval office or even near it. I hate to sound snobbish, but someone else also noted....trailer trash...they have no class whatsoever. When I think of Condoleeza Rice, another Republican woman, I see such a contrast of gentility and excellence. Rice may have promoted Pres Bush, but if she were her own woman in office, I'm sure she would use her considerable intelligence wisely. Right now, I think she is more of a power than Cheney. Why do Americans pick

the least common, or should I say the most common denominator?

And I used to be a Hillary supporter. I am appalled at the Hillary folks who are attempting to dance on Obama's grave. How dare you be so flippant about the future of this country. You play right into the republicans hands. What's wrong with you?

Who gives a hoot what a moron thinks.

Objective analysis of the numbers is real bad news. We both know that even if I still don't know which side butters your bread. Or care.

As always attacking the center left and fkg up the election is the only way the left can still feel relevant.

The left wanted to have the election against Hillary instead of the Republicans. They had your fun burning the barn down and pretending they mattered.

But now it's over.

Mike Madden fails to mention Todd's vast rightwing panty collection.

Everywhere this tall dark handsome dude goes, the panties come flying.

Sarah is the envy of millions and millions of heartland gals.

He's got more panties than Tom Jones ever did.

This is a juggernaut the brie crowd cannot resist.

But send all your money to Barry The Con anyways.

Personal financial exhaustion in progressive circles isn't all bad.

This will help Michelle fund that Martha's Vinyard dream house.

Quiet summer afternoons swinging on the porch bench

Pleasant Atlantic breezes and not a windmill in sight

A dude named Barrack came riding on a donkey from the west

A true first dude, His tyme had come said, Mary Magdalen Michelle

Christopher Matthews and Babba WaWa and Whoopsie hailed His Glory

Don't overlook The Oprah, Divine Intervention

The heartache sears the souls of the selfless

Silent in the desperate dreads of despair

All that gone just because of the world's largest panty collection

All that gone, all is a lost cause of instantaneous harmony and peas

And from the great North tundra glowers a dude with a panty filled dogsled
