Wait. No, say it ain't so, Rudy saying a sentence (let alone two or more!) without using "9/11"? Okay, that's a seismic event. Could it possibly be...? No, that's crazy. But maybe...? No, I said that's crazy!

Could it be that the mockery has finally gotten to him and, in conjunction with his dismal showings in Iowa and New Hampshire, illustrated that invoking 9/11 is a bad idea? Maybe?

Nah, most likely he was just overtired from the other two debates and not quite entirely there. And perhaps he was not answering economic policy questions but rather talking on a cellphone to his wife. You know, those fancy-pants BlueTooth gadgets make you appear like you're actually NOT talking on the phone when you are. That must be what happened.

I mean, Rudy not mentioning 9/11. Preposterous!

My wife and I decided to watch tonight's Repug debate, something we've not done all this campaign season. What a horror show! Repugs, listen up: Ronald Reagan is dead and buried and burning in Hell. The Reagan era is 20 years-old. It's over and done with, thank goodness!

I can understand why many Repugs favor Ron Paul, as he is the only candid and grown-up candidate in the bunch. It's too bad he's a loony libertarian.

McCain is too militaristic and way, way past his prime. Romney is a foul tool (nice hair, though, but my wife instantly pointed out that he has his eyebrows waxed). Thompson is a prunefaced Reagan wannabe. Guiliani is another bloodthirsty nut who ought to be pursuing a career as the lead character in a remake of Nosferatu. Huckabee is a nice guy one second, and religious nut invoking the gates of hell the next. Am I missing anyone? Does it matter? They're ALL losers.

As for the Faux News debate moderators: Brit Hume is a bad joke, asking Ron Paul about some of his wackiest supporters' allegations of a 9-11 cover-up. Kudos to Paul for smacking that fool down. Again, it's a shame Paul is a loony libertarian with Bircher roots. Chris Wallace needs to be reminded that the shoe polish goes on his shoes, not his head. And who was the skinny dude with the big ears? Looked like Barney Fife's love child. We turned off the debate when the black guy with the Juicy Fruit colored tie (with the really nice knot, however) finally got his turn to ask a question.

Is this really the best the GOP can offer up? A bunch of has-beens and never-wills invoking the wretched memory of Reagan? I'm beginning to believe the hype that the GOP is on its way to extinction like the Whigs. If so, good riddance!

Yeah, ending the empire is pretty loony. I guess that's why the Democracts gave up on it. Assuming they ever really planned on ending the war in the first place.

And the Dems will keep supplying the money. Depleted Uranium doesn't grow on trees, 40,000 bombs in 10 minutes, thanks Democrats!

Not the ending the empire bit. It's that OTHER Libertarian crap that's loony.

general election.

I keep hearing people say...."If you elect so and so, the GOP will eat them alive...you might as well hand the whitehouse to them...get ready for 4 more years of blah blah blah..."

Look at the clown shoes they have up there, and think...has there ever been a better time for Democrats to be....well...Democrats.

These were Iranian military personnel. "Meeting those virgins" implies they are so-called terrorists willing to blow themselves up to be martyred for the cause, not soldiers doing their job.

So, why is this funny?

by his name instead of calling him The Ron Paul Revolution. Every time someone on Salon refers to him that way, it's like sandpaper against my skin. I think many of Paul's ideas (and supporters) are insane, but there ARE respectful ways to talk about people, whether they are frontrunners or not.
