Obama Will Absorb McCain

This Is Not A Gamble; It's The Armed Prayer Of A Rich Nation: "“Very early in this campaign, I said I would meet not just with our friends but also with our enemies, not just with leaders we like but leaders we don't,” Obama said. “Washington, when I said this, they said, 'Oh, you can't do that.' I said, 'Watch me; I will.'”"

This will mean that he must be uniquely great, and I am voting that he is..

John McCain's "Very Weird Behavior"

"Blonde's For McCain" campaign hits snag: "Washington Monthly's Kevin Drum comments: 'Look, there's no two ways about it it: this is very weird behavior. If there were really no story here, McCain wouldn't be avoiding reporters. He'd be yukking it up and insisting to a sympathetic press corps that he was the subject of a comically thin hit job from the Times. Instead he's acting almost like a caricature of a guilty man. What's going on here?'"

"Over the parapet; life, romance!" - Robert Service

"Bombs away !" - John McCain

McCain's from another era, when doing it for "Country A" was enough of a reason to kill.

NOW is Then, Left Out Too Long

Women's Rights Head Kicked in the Balls by a Bunch of Kennedys: "In a rant that was described as greater-than-scathing, the head of the New York chapter of the National Organization for Women ripped into Sen. Ted Kennedy on Monday for "betraying" woman by not endorsing Sen. Hillary Clinton."

Uh oh. Remember, this is the wacko portion of the history of an organization. The official title of her statement is: "Psychological Gang Bang of Hillary is Proof We Need a Woman President."

I respect her right to be a jerk, but remember, "history loves company."

A Thetan is a Thespian After Its Money is Removed

...and a Californian is Someone That's Been Dumped by a Venusian: In Scientology, "When a person dies – or, in Scientology terms, when a thetan abandons its physical body – they go to a "landing station" on the planet Venus, where the thetan is re-implanted and told lies about its past life and its next life. The Venusians take the thetan, "capsule" it, and send it back to Earth to be dumped into the ocean off the coast of California. Says Hubbard, "If you can get out of that, and through that, and wander around through the cities and find some girl who looks like she is going to get married or have a baby or something like that, you're all set. And if you can find the maternity ward to a hospital or something, you're OK. And you just eventually just pick up a baby..."

"...All matter, energy, space, and time exists solely because thetans agree that it exists." - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia.

Well, of course that all makes perfect sense.

Obama Knows; Bush Blows

Bush Did What Obama Recommended Because It Was A Smart Move: Barack Obama set the agenda: "But let me make this clear. There are terrorists holed up in those mountains who murdered 3,000 Americans. They are plotting to strike again. ... If we have actionable intelligence about high-value terrorist targets and President Musharraf will not act, we will.'"

And Bush did act - just the way he said he wouldn't, but just the way that Obama recommended.

You know why?

Because Obama has his head screwed on correctly, and that's a big plus.

The Republican Ass Problem

Glenn Beck: I Drink The Blood Of Small People Who Are Different Than Me

It's heartening to know that even when we are off having a great time with our friends and family, Beck's ass is doing our work for us, making him conscious of his painful anus every stinking minute of his very low life.

Now that's what I call swell.

Ramses the Next

Hillary "might as well be promoting choral singing in the face of Beatlemania."

The merest chance for us to be a greater generation than we are; to be a surpassing nation, is just too alluring; just too gorgeous, for us not to embrace this incredible opportunity. With Obama there is a feeling in one's soul that there is indeed a chance for American excellence in this new century.

Tucker Carlson, Ethical Oaf

The Butterball That Enabled The Meathead : "In 1999, during the 2000 Republican Presidential primary race, Tucker Carlson interviewed Bush, then Governor of Texas, for Talk magazine. Carlson reported that Bush mocked soon-to-be-executed Texas death row inmate Karla Faye Tucker and "cursed like a sailor."

Bush's communications director Karen Hughes publicly disputed this claim. Asked by Salon about the response to his article on Bush, Carlson characterized it as "very, very hostile. The reaction was: You betrayed us. Well, I was never there as a partisan to begin with. Then I heard that (on the campaign bus, Bush communications director) Karen Hughes accused me of lying. And so I called Karen and asked her why she was saying this, and she had this almost Orwellian rap that she laid on me about how things she'd heard — that I watched her hear — she in fact had never heard, and she'd never heard Bush use profanity ever. It was insane. I've obviously been lied to a lot by campaign operatives, but the striking thing about the way she lied was she knew I knew she was lying, and she did it anyway. There is no word in English that captures that. It almost crosses over from bravado into mental illness." - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

This is surely my favorite anecdote involving Tucker Carlson, though it truly irks me to contribute to any effort to humanize this viper.

The Ass Delivers The Shit

Rush Limbaugh, Anal Poisoner: "A source close to Limbaugh says the right-wing gadfly was merely using a 'time-honored' synonym for 'brown-nosing.' But if you Google the term ['anal poisoning"], the only people who seem to be using it are proprietors of porn sites."

Someday, when the money wall collapses and the truth oozes forth, Limbaugh will finally have the tomb he deserves.

Housing Meltdown

Wipeout !! To Hit Retiring Boomers Hard: "Home prices could sink an additional 25% over the next two or three years, returning values to their 2000 levels in inflation-adjusted terms. That's even with the Federal Reserve's half-percentage-point rate cut on Jan. 30.

While a 25% decline is unprecedented in modern times, some economists are beginning to talk about it. 'We now see potential for another 25% to 30% downside over the next two years,' says David A. Rosenberg, North American economist for Merrill Lynch (MER), who until recently had expected a much smaller slide."

This sucks muddy rocks big time !

Coulter Finds New Map To Be All Over

Ann's Plan -"I Will Campaign for Hillary If It’s McCain": "'If you're looking at substance rather than whether it's an R or a D after his name...If he's our candidate, then Hillary's going to be our girl, Sean, cause she's more conservative than he is. I think she would be stronger on the war on terrorism. I absolutely believe that.'"

Another tortured staccato burst from the Annster.
