"They are afraid of the boogey man.

Do you see the difference?"

Which boogey man are you talking about, McCain or Obama?

What is the difference?

"God's Little Turnips"

That hurt. (my sides).

Maybe Stalin was doing the loaves and fishes trick with the turnip, ala "The Seromon at the Kremlin"?

Slackie - That's the heartbreak of the whole enterprise -- the groundwork has been laid by the GOP for so long, their partisanship and demagoguery spread so thick and wide, that it poisons the whole process, divides the country against itself, so that even if Obama manages a landslide, the "war" won't be over, the "fight" will continue unabated. Ignorance is the only alternative, renewable energy source the GOP truly embraces.

Freakin' beautifully put.

Be ye not cheaply played

Nor bought

Nor toy top swayed

Unto the sunken ranks

Of Sarah Palin's moose herd

Parade...

(wasn't Seromon a little flying yellow cartoon pig?)

no.

that was something reaks.

Normally, I don't let others speak for me, but in this case it is much easier:

<<< Be afraid........ KILLER COMMIE TURNIPS are coming to make you marry a homosexual!!!! The right wing zipped past cartoonish and is apparently heading right for bull goose looney. >>>

Sorry, porsadgai. That's where they started from and where they have always been. If you got around more, or consumed a different media diet, you would see this nonsense every day.

<<< Rebecca. Assuming all goes reasonably well in the next four years, and Obama does meaningful things that improve our collective lot significantly, it'd be great to have you talk to these same sorts of people in two years, or four. I'd love to hear them eat their own words. Poor, ignorant Americans. If Obama does even half of what he wants to do, those people are going to be very, very confused. >>>

It's never happened before, had_enough, so why should it happen in the next few years? See the next post ---

<<< I love how if McCain wins it's the fulfillment of the Lord's will, but if Obama wins it's the Lord "allow[ing] us as humans to stumble and fall". It must be nice to have a belief system that explains every possible outcome in such a way to validate your own preconceptions.

And so it is, dave. So it is.

Ooooo goody. I gotta vote for McCain/Palin, they are part of my imaginary friends plan. Of course if they loose, that's also part of my imaginary friends plan.

Somewhere a cute little clock is missing it's bird.

The McCarthy era may have been worse than Junior, but not by much.

There is a subtle difference between a McDonald's Double Cheeseburger and a Burger King Double Cheeseburger.

But really, would you willingly choose to eat either one?

Same foreign policy.

Same bailout policy.

Same lies about taxation and the economy.

It is not really communism (in its failed or any other form) or socialism (ibid) or persons of a different color or capital gains tax hikes they fear. What they really fear is the singular certainty of life: they'll die. They'll each (just like everyone) become irrevocably, indisputedly and insistently dead. At some point, they'll cease to be. They will be ex-humans. And they know deep down, irrevocably, indisputedly and insistently ( a little voice tells them so often) that what they profess to believe in just makes that fear of death a little more survivable. They cling to their religion (and their guns and their home-schooling and their ilk) so tightly because it gives them a pretty (ugly) lie that assuages how bad it feels to know, deep down, they'll be dead. Done. Finished. They're in a cave, looking out at the dark and there are eyes out there - other eyes - looking back at them. Eyes of big things, red in tooth and claw.

We fear them (and their shenanigans and their shamans - the Palins and Bushes and Roves and Negropontes) because we can imagine how much more pleasant our lives could be for their duration and how much nicer and more pleasant for coming generations - and their durations - if we didn't have to expend all of our energy slogging uphill in the mud against the results of their misguided fear of mortality.

I think I shall make a lasagna now.

The day the resistance begins.

is that large segments of the US population are mentally deranged and psychotically stupid and ignorant.

These poor, misguided fools who will soak in any nonsense are terrified by the prospect of seeing the end of their white privilege status.

May Wednesday morning not only bring us a president-elect Obama but the beginning of the end of the ugliest political movement this country has ever seen.

Though, without a stake driven through its black heart, it will rise again, spreading darkness across the land in its ruthless drive to power. Obama is wrong to think he can make peace with

Sarah roasted

A moose's weeny...

They should all just relax and understand that if Obama is elected, God meant it to happen, right? I don't see the problem here.

I don't think the prospect of a McCain-Palin administration frightens me as much as many of their supporters do. Good God! Some of these people are certifiable. Does rational, reasoned thought not exist in their world? Ay carumba!

No. Damned. Ricotta.

=

No. Damned. Lasagna.

(And I know I had ricotta. It was in the fridge. Yes, it WAS. Now it is gone. And I don't remember eating it. Nope. Not me.)

(No, it didn't get put in the freezer by mistake. I'm not in the habit of putting cheeses in the freezer mistakenly. They all go in the drawer in the fridge labeled "Butter/Cheese". And anyway, I just looked in the freezer. No ricotta.)

(Of course, I do find myself eating constantly these days and my diet doesn't officially begin until the 5th. Suddenly I realize out of the blue that I'm...eating AGAIN. Maybe I DID eat the ricotta.)

Damn. No lasagna.

Subject: Re: FW: Redistribution test

Today on my way to lunch I passed a homeless guy with a sign that read "Vote Obama, I need the money." I laughed.

Once in the restaurant my server had on a "Obama 08" tie, again I laughed as he had given away his political preference--just imagine the coincidence.

When the bill came I decided not to tip the server and explained to him that I was exploring the Obama redistribution of wealth concept. He stood there in disbelief while I told him that I was going to redistribute his tip to someone who I deemed more in need--the homeless guy outside. The server angrily stormed from my sight.

I went outside, gave the homeless guy $10 and told him to thank the server inside as I've decided he could use the money more. The homeless guy was grateful.

At the end of my rather unscientific redistribution experiment I

realized the homeless guy was grateful for the money he did not earn,but the waiter was pretty angry that I gave away the money he did earn even though the actual recipient deserved money more.

I guess redistribution of wealth is an easier thing to swallow in

concept than in practical application.

OR IS IT.........REDISTRIBUTION OF SOMEONE ELSE'S WEALTH IS A GREAT IDEA

I wonder how the sender of these oh-so-hilarious jokes feels about the $2-3 trillion of his money and everyone else's that Bush and the Republicans have poured down the rat-hole of Iraq, not to mention the $700 billion and counting we are hemorrhaging to the big banks that have paid their executives tens of billions in bonuses over the past decade, but suddenly -- oops! -- all their money's gone and Joe the Plumber, along with the rest of us, has to bail them out. Then there are the handouts being requested by GM & Chrysler and Ford because they lacked the good business sense to see further into the future than their noses and kept building gas guzzlers they can't even give away now. Suddenly, they are Too Big To Fail, along with the Wall Street megabucks guys, and we're supposed to pick up the tab?

Also ask them how much they like dealing with their private health-insurance company, and whether they think the executives of those companies deserve to take home hundreds of millions as a reward for denying care to sick & dying people and giving them endless runarounds to collect on their benefits.

Just keep repeating the mantra: The Republicans: The Party That Wrecked America

Fortunately, enough of the electorate seems finally able to see through the BS -- reflected in jokes like the one below -- and are voting these jerks out. Now they can all drive their SUVs and pickup trucks to the mega-churches and roll in the aisles worshipping Sarah Palin, but if the Good Lord smiles upon the US of A these buffoons will not be occupying the halls of power for years to come.
