    The National Socialist Party of America

    has chosen its candidate. And he has clearly signed on to the program. How long will we have to wait for his declaration that he is a living God, and change May (what a weak sounding name for a month!) to McCainuary?

    It's a pretty clear choice now - McCain, facist war monger corporate tool, vs. Obama, progressive.

    But there are enough dupes like Herb that it's highly possible that McCain will win. I have $100 on Obama, but a foreign passport in case the fuckers pull it off again. In this case, batten down the hatches, because it will get really ugly. I mean police state ugly. I mean invading Canada ugly. I mean nuking somebody "evil" ugly. I mean global famine ugly (this will probably happen anyway, but McCain will make it happen faster).
