Ask Mrs. O’Sadly
RedState asks:
Why is Nigeria 5th in foreign web users at barackobama.com? […] Is there a huge scam eminating from Nigeria???
Dear Mr. State,
Planck’s Constant asks:
But what about all the millions of Democrats – they can’t all be anti-American – why would they be giving money to a person who is barely qualified to run a Harlem barbershop? Can they all be that stupid? Do they really want a closet communist whose friends and spiritual mentors are anti-American terrorists and Jew-hating demagogues to be President of this country? Can they all be that naive or blind?
Dear Mr. Constant,
You seem to be assuming that running a Harlem barber shop is easy. Instead of scissors, you have to rely on clippers to a remarkable degree. And, well, let’s go to Black Hair Media, the website for “Hair Care and Beauty Information for Women of Color” and see what they’re talking about these days:
McCain’s Current Adviser Endorses Obama
The Wall Street Journal today rounds up the horde of prominent Republicans jumping ship to Barack Obama. Now one of John McCain’s actual advisers has switched sides:
Charles Fried, a professor at Harvard Law School, has long been one of the most important conservative thinkers in the United States. Under President Reagan, he served, with great distinction, as Solicitor General of the United States. Since then, he has been prominently associated with several Republican leaders and candidates, most recently John McCain, for whom he expressed his enthusiastic support in January.
This week, Fried announced that he has voted for Obama-Biden by absentee ballot. In his letter to Trevor Potter, the General Counsel to the McCain-Palin campaign, he asked that his name be removed from the several campaign-related committees on which he serves. In that letter, he said that chief among the reasons for his decision “is the choice of Sarah Palin at a time of deep national crisis.”
TPM has the press releases touting Fried’s presence on the McCain campaign.
Does that answer the rest of your questions?
Also, Black Hair Media officially wins the Internet:
James4America asks:
Why was the PACER system “links” in the Berg v. Obama docket disabled just MOMENTS before the decision was faxed out? Is it possible that the Judge had actually issued a DIFFERENT ruling, and was FORCED to issue the one that was sent to him? …Does this explain the comments from the Obama camp all through Friday the 24th that ALL Obstacles to the White House had been overcome, and “they now had a clear path.”?
Dear Mr. 4America,
Indeed, who will watch the watchers? Please add your research to the Obama Death List and email it to all the AOL.com, WalMartConnect, and CompuServe addresses in your email address book. Your ideas are intriguing to us and we wish to subscribe to your newsletter.
Pat Buchanan asks:
What if ‘SNL’ mocked Michelle Obama? […] ‘Saturday Night Live’ would be facing hate-crime charges.
Dear Mr. Buchanan,
That’s exactly why they’ll never do that.
Gateway Pundit asks:
The LA Times has video of Obama toasting a former PLO operative at a Jew-bash but will not release the video. This is outrageous. Obviously, this video would do great damage to Obama who struggles with Jewish voters due to his circle of close anti-Semitic friends. Maybe this is the reason it is not being released?
Dear Mr. Pundit.
Probably. We went to a Jew bash once, but got freaked out when they stomped on the glassware and carried the guy around on the chair.
We also visited a Judo master and, um, something about Jujubes, except we can’t decide how to set that one up, so there you go.
Mark Levin asks:
The question is whether enough Americans understand what’s at stake in this election and, if they do, whether they care. Is the allure of a charismatic demagogue so strong that the usually sober American people are willing to risk an Obama presidency?
Mr. Levin,
‘Usually sober’ is also a good way to describe the sawed-off fireplug of bad legal reasoning and hysterical self-promotion that sits in the farted-out office chair of Mark Levin. …Yes, that’s what someone might say who wished to lower his or herself to rudeness. For our part, we would rather say that whenever… Wait, ssh! What was that noise?
Oh my God, hide under your desk, Mr. Levin. Hide under a coat on the coat rack. No, no, in here; in this closet. No, leave your shoe. Get in! Get in! Just squeeze in! It’s Dalia Lithwick, and she looks hungry!
Um, yes, where were we? ‘Usually sober’ is also a good way to describe the sawed-off fireplug of bad legal reasoning and hysterical self-promotion that sits in the farted-out office chair of the closeted Mark Levin.
Join us again next time on Ask Mrs. O’Sadly!
The point is we the people of th USA have no clue what is going on with the donations to the Obama site.
Yeah……….all of that money that the Obamaites say they have could just be vapor and McKKKain could be WAY ahead in fundraising!! I’m tellin’ ya, It’s just like “The Sting”!
My God! It’s full of FAIL!
I object to stupidly-named fictional characters.
Dear Mrs. O’Sadly,
Do you know why on one side at the damn drawbridge of 95 traffic is stopped for 15 minutes and yet traffic’s coming the other way?
No?
Fuck you.
Skins Win!
Wow. They’re really going off the deep end.
Meanwhile, a news bulletin from Delusionland:
Despite his sagging poll numbers, McCain said earlier Sunday that he is “very happy with where we are” and very proud of his campaign.
“We’re doing fine,” the Arizona senator told NBC…
Wingnuts on the API trying to manage a conference call while simultaneously wanking each other off is some of the funniest shiz I’ve read in a long, long time. I mean, don’t be drinking nothing while reading that. Tis that awesome.
You know, I don’t know if I can take any more schadenfreude. I’m full, thanks. Do you have anything less filling? I’m trying to lose a few pounds.
Hmm. Nope. Can’t think of an alternative explanation either.
Guess that MUST be it…

btw, “binky622” at the Black Hair Media forum has the most awesome animated gif, EVAR.
We coulda used that one last night.
Awesomely seizure-inducing!
Hmm. Maybe someone at RedState might want to check out factors such as population and internet access.
Here is a list of the top 10 populated countries in Africa:
Now, as shocking as it may be to consider, it is actually more likely that one might use the InterToobz in the much more urbanized and developed Nigeria than Democratic Republic of Congo or Sudan, even though both the latter countries have a lot of people. The top 5 African nations in terms of InterToobz users seem to include, in order, Nigeria, Egypt, Morocco, South Africa, and Algeria.
So the question ought be why is Nigeria, with the greatest population and the greatest number of InterToobz users merely #5 among African users of barackobama.com?
These people are so f***ing stupid I’m amazed they don’t forget how to use doorknobs each f***ing day. Or maybe they do, and leave themselves notes, if they can remember how to read.
I shouldn’t have looked…now I smell burning toast.
But what about all the millions of Democrats – they can’t all be anti-American – why would they be giving money to a person who is barely qualified to run a Harlem barbershop?
They trust that guy more than the guy who’d take his accordion dealership to war with the falafel shop?
This, my friends, is what it means to be a moderate Republican.
I’ll trade you that video of Obama that the LATimes has for the one I have of McInsane drinking tea with Uncle Ho.

Central to my point, this is.
To be fair to the racist fucks I don’t see any mocking in the SNL clip.

Dear Mrs. Sadly,
My shit moat is starting to smell pretty ripe–I can smell it despite dousing myself in Celine Dion parfum. And my neighbors are complaining about the flies. But I’m worried that if I drain it, the Negro hordes will come after me with their face-mutilating dull knives. From one crappy free advice giver to another, what are the alternatives for protecting myself when the poorly-parented coloreds riot on the 5th?

The fact is, we are ready here in the Heartland. We know the fix is in for Obama to steal the White House. We won’t take it. We will restore rightful government and the constitution to the USA by force if necesary.
Meanwhile, Bush just attacked Syria. October Surprise, anyone?

Can we take a moment and remember that McCain was by far the *least* revolting of the GOP candidates?
Candidates such as:
Rudy Giuliani: huge douchebag
Sam Brownback: wingnut extraordinaire
Duncan Hunter: doesn’t like Mexicans very much
Mike Huckabee: crazy person
Ron Paul: crazy person
Mitt Romney: possibly a robot
Fred Thompson: never quite sure if he was actually running
It’s absolutely mind-boggling to me that the GOP managed in spite of themselves to nominate the best candidate — adored by the media, perceived as a reasonable moderate — and then piss away that advantage for no reason at all. Thanks guys!
Well, it looks like your LIEbral plan for making everyone in The Heartland wear a dashiki isn’t gonna work out after all, as McCain has moved up in the polls and now has a 10 point lead on Oblammo (Hurray for the USA of America!). You DEMONcraps ought to watch the following video and pack yer bags:

Am I all confused or did Iran sign a mutual defense pact with Syria?

Mr. President McCain’s new victory song:
It’s a sign of the times
that your love for me is getting so much stronger.
It’s a sign of the times
and I know that I won’t have to wait much longer.
You changed a love, somehow,
from the one I used to know.
For when you hold me now,
I feel like you never wanna let me go.
It’s a sign of the times
that you call me up whenever you feel lonely.
It’s a sign of the times
that you tell your friends that I’m your one and only.
I’ll never understand
the way you treated me.
But when I hold your hand
I know you couldn’t be the way you used to be!
Maybe my love-kissed star
at last decided to shine!
Maybe somebody knows
how long I’ve waited to make you mine!
um-um-um
-musical interlude-
I’ll never understand
the way you treated me.
But when I hold your hand
I know you couldn’t be the way you used to be!
Maybe my love-kissed star
at last decided to shine!
Maybe somebody knows
how long I’ve waited to make you mine!
It’s a sign of the times
that you kiss me now as if you really mean it.
It’s a sign of the times
and a year ago I never could have seen it.
Don’t ever change your mind
and take your love away.
Just leave the past behind
and, baby, only think of how it is today!
It’s a sign of the times!
It’s a sign of the times!
It’s a sign of the times!

Can we take a moment and remember that McCain was by far the *least* revolting of the GOP candidates?
I remember that frequently, and often feel grateful that he was chosen. Both because if the worst should happen and he did win, he’d have been less scary than the others. But mostly because I figured he was the least palatable to the fringy base lunatics, so he’d be weak in the general election.
I’ve been taken completely by surprise at the magnitude of clusterbuggery his campaign has become, but I didn’t see the two biggest knocks (IMO) to it coming – the financial meltdown and the Palin pick. Wow. Just wow.
Fixed.
Can we take a moment and remember that McCain was by far the *least* revolting of the GOP candidates?
I dunno, I could’ve stomached Huckles alright. I think he’s pretty honest, and based on his record as Guv. he wouldn’t have gone all in on the race-baiting. Plus, he’s basically Jared from the Subway commercials with a bass guitar and a taste for Biblical literalism.
As in: Surprise! I opened a new front in The War Against Terror!
That didn’t surprise me at all. The infantile doucheguzzler probably feels he isn’t getting enough attention.
[…] Jeff Fecke fears that Levin’s brain has disconnected from its power source, and Mrs. O’Sadly has some helpful advice. […]
Mcain pissed away his lead. Immediately after he was nominated, the democratic primaries were still going on, and getting rather bloody. He had a built in advantage there, and the chance to get his act together earlier. If he had made a VP pick early, which satisfied the base AND wasn’t a complete flake, he could have got the republican base organised and working hard before Obama even had the nomination.
Obama was building the start of his ground campaign during the primaries, and the majority of the Hillary supporters joined in soon enough for the past turmoil not to matter at all. It helped that Obama actually had a good organisational structure which encouraged participation, and gave the Hillary supporters something to join in on.
Mcain on the other hand, didn’t have an organisation ready and waiting to embrace and organise the base. If he got his nomination by fighting for it, perhaps he would have had a coherent organisation. But since he won by default as the least awful candidate, he didn’t really have that.
Obama was a community organiser. And that is how he is winning the election. Organising communities. Mcain however, couldn’t organise a pissup in a brewery.

Sarah Palin is an intelligent, articulate, multi-talented, charismatic attractive women. She can speak to the hearts of everyman because she is the only candidate who truly IS everyman( or woman). She came from a loving family who obviously instilled in her, family values and a love for her Country. She has no hidden agenda, she is not duplicitous. She speaks from her heart, and when I hear her speak I feel I am listening to the old America, the America of values, work ethic and the pioneering spirit. Her parents were teachers and her husband works on the pipe line and has a small fishing business. She can identify, like no other candidate in a very long time, with the “average”American. She knows what it’s like to be on a budget, struggle with bills, get up at night with a sick child. She has done all of this.
The media has made this accomplished admirable women their target de jour. I feel the criticisms she receives from women are based on jealousy. How can a women possess all these attributes AND be attractive, HOW DARE HER!!!! Why do some people feel they have to destroy Sarah Palin? In destroying Palin, does this give them some form of satisfaction? Does this make them feel superior in some way? Are they intimidated by her attractiveness? She can’t help it if she is a good looking women? Should she shave her head, put in false buck teeth, and wear a sack cloth, would she be more acceptable then? America was, at one time, a country who would have celebrated Palin’s obvious attributes, now, in the climate of Obama, anything good and clean and wholesome must be destroyed.
The politics of clothing envy are on display by the PARTY of ENVY and CLASS WARFARE. Let me ask you something, in-the-tank-for-Obama Left Wingers:
Do you REALLY want to compare Gov. Palen’s style and grace with Michele Obama’s lack of style (no matter where she buys her clothes), her DEAD greasy hair and horrible figure problems?
Really, I don’t think you want to go there, so knock it off if you are smart.
Now, back to Obama’s “socialism.” Are you SURE it isn’t really COMMUNISM? Let’s consider his “Uncle” mentor (Rev. Wright) who learned his “Church Doctrrine” from Commie, Rev. Crone, who was HIS mentor. Then there are his CLOSE associations with Ayers and wife, unrepentent terrorists. They kicked off his political career. Obama shared an office with Ayers, wrote a glowing book report for him and they spent a LOT of time giving speeches to Left Wing “activist” organizations.
Barney Frank is an ADMITTED Socialist with whom Obama never disagreed on any vote in the Senate, when he bothered to be there to vote or didn’t just vote “present.” His voting record is 97% NOT “reaching across the aisle,” but straight Party Line which earned him the title of “Most Liberal Senator in America.” H
Obama came straight out of the NOTORIOUSLY crooked Democrat Party Chicago Machine, including his being an attorney and activists for ACORN! So, of course he fit right in with the national Demo Party Machine run by the worst rated Congress in the entire history of this nation. Obama hired an ACORN subsidiary to the tune of over $800,000 to “get out the vote.” ACORN creeps have been jailed in the last three elections and Obama CANNOT deny his ties to those criminals.
Let us not forget how Obama stressed his BLACK background (African connections) to fool Black voters in the primaries. Now? We never hear a word about his Father, half brother and multiple other Black relatives in Africa, do we?
He wants to spread the wealth around to whom? If he, Soros, Bill Gates and other fabulously rich supporters really gave a rat about our economy, why aren’t they spreading their wealth around to home owners who are in trouble instead of buying our election with the full cooperation of the WELL PAID (for adds) media. Follow the money trail and watch the in-the-tank media lining their pockets with his TV Ads.
Why has it never occurred to anyone else that Obama is BUYING the media to be in the tank for him? The “Big Three” are just as guilty of greed and averice as ANY group on Wall Street! What about the main stream media being bought and paid for with all those Ads paid for by Hollywood millionaires, sports stars and other “instant genius political mavins?”
Guess who bought into bought and paid for Obama media propaganda in mainstream media that will do anything for money? YOU DID, dupes and fools that you are.
Ahh, christ.

Parody trolls should be succinct.
Well, there’s precedent for PATRIOTUSAPOWER. Maybe someone’s got a troll generator going.
That is the thing Mikey.. Attacks on Pakistan are nothing new. An attack on Syria IS new. More of the same old crap is unlikely to be politically significant.. Unless they really HAVE got bin laden this time (har har)
Since Orange Tom mentioned it, I checked, and Syria DO have a defensive pact with Iran. It seems unlikely Iran would stick their necks out for such a small incident, but if they even give the USA a disapproving glare, fox news will magnify it into a WMD laserbeam of nukular death.
I know, I know.. This DOES all sound far too subtle for Dubya. However, if it isn’t politically motivated, it could still have unintended consequences.
I must admit to being a little on edge at the moment.. Dubya hasn’t really done anything yet to help Mcain. Except, of course, by keeping well away from him. I am still half expecting something to drastic to happen, so excuse me for being jumpy.
Parody trolls should be funny.
I think it is so sad that Larry Johnson is having “server issues” right when the Michele Obama tape is about to be released soon in the near future by Scandinavian African News Company Associates or something. NoQuarter worked this scoop for decades only to miss out due to a faulty tube.
Phewwwweeee! Who farted?
Parody Trolls should be seen and not heard.
Or is it “Obscene and eat turds”?
I forget.
Dubya hasn’t really done anything yet to help Mcain.
Except stick his nose in the Ohio election.
Damn. Last I heard the Ohio case was on safe ground. Still, all that has happened is the white house was asked to intervene, and got the DOJ to investigate. No action yet, but it could be imminent.
Still, its not much is it? The Bush administration had to be prodded into helping. One suspects Bush’s brain is busy planning escape routes and packing suitcases full of cash.

Dear SecurityMom,
You named yourself after a made-up polling demographic (4 years stale, I might add) and you call us dupes? In case you missed the memo, this year Repulicans are only either HockeyMoms and PatioMen.
Meanwhile, in the real world, Democrats represent the actual face of America and care about having a functioning government. But thank you for the frothing stoopid, although, as previously noted, please keep it shorter and funnier in the future. We are too busy enjoying our Schadenfreude cocktails to bother reading your boring and overly long screeds.
Mavericks don’t do organizations. The two concepts are incompatible. Show me a maverick with an organization, and I’ll show you an ex-maverick.

Ok, looks like you got it straight. You’re actually making my point for me — we attack Pakistan two or three times a week. Do we attack Syria two or three times a week? Attacking Syria is a serious escalation of the war. There is such a thing as escalating tensions, bringing foreign policy to the fore, without a full scale war.
And of course, you can disagree with me, but there’s no need to be a dickwad about it.

I don’t think anything else has made me laugh as hard today as this:
That’s just fabulous.
Dear (probably fake) Security Mom,
Michelle Obama is teh hawt. If I were going to be jealous of anyone in this election, it would be her. Sarah Palin isn’t even particularly bright, just very politically shrewd, and completely willing to say anything (no matter how glaringly false) to appeal to people who aren’t terribly bright either. I can see how you might not be able to spot the difference, but many of us can. Please stop embarrassing yourself.
“Sarah Palin isn’t even particularly bright, just very politically shrewd, and completely willing to say anything (no matter how glaringly false) to appeal to people who aren’t terribly bright either.”
Yup. I usually hate Christopher Hitchens’ neoconnish articles but his take on Sarah Palin is hilariously on-target:
“And the only public events that have so far featured his absurd choice of running mate have shown her to be a deceiving and unscrupulous woman utterly unversed in any of the needful political discourses but easily trained to utter preposterous lies and to appeal to the basest element of her audience.”
LOL

Icccccccck, FAUX. There were some serious creepy crawlers squirming around under that rock, RB.
Yeah, Thunder, that was an absolutely terrible experience.
For a palette cleanser, I strongly recommend this piece that I ran across on HuffPo. It stars a terribly adorable 5th grader who interviews Joe Biden, who, unlike Palin, accurately represents what the VP does. I suppose SecurityMom would say he’s in the tank for Obama.
Gretawire looks like it might be kind of fun to troll, especially with a bunch of stupid names. The “all one guy” principle in effect and so on.
Why was the PACER system “links” in the Berg v. Obama docket disabled just MOMENTS before the decision was faxed out?
Could be anything from routine maintenance to the fact that the E.D. Pa didn’t want wingnuts swamping their system with inquiries for info that was already released to the mainstream media. (This is the Clerk of Court’s decision, and similar measures have been taken in other districts for high profile cases.) You also have to have a PACER account to log in, or you will be kicked off when you try to access the cases.
Is it possible that the Judge had actually issued a DIFFERENT ruling, and was FORCED to issue the one that was sent to him? …
Unless it is a dispositive motion, the movant submits an unsigned copy of the proposed order he would like the judge to issue with his motion, declaration, and a supporting memorandum of legal points and authorities. The orders can be submitted by e-mail if the judge allows, or by FAX. Sometimes the judges use them in their entirety; sometimes they have their clerks supplement or research a new order. It depends on how well-written the order is, and how full the dockets are.
Does this explain the comments from the Obama camp all through Friday the 24th that ALL Obstacles to the White House had been overcome, and “they now had a clear path.”?
No. Obama’s citizenship was never an issue, as his mother was a U.S. Citizen. The fact that the wingnuts couldn’t even get past “standing” to the justiciable issue meant this case was a non-starter from the get-go. If it weren’t for fact that the politics were so smothered with wingnut ignorance, the Court would have probably hit the petitioners with Rule 11 sanctions for filing a frivolous suit.
SecurityMom’s writing style needs help.
Take this, for example:
Let us not forget how Obama stressed his BLACK background (African connections) to fool Black voters in the primaries. Now? We never hear a word about his Father, half brother and multiple other Black relatives in Africa, do we?
The point is clear enough, but it needs more emphasis:
Let us not forget how Obama stressed his BLACK background (African connections) to fool BLACK voters in the BLACK primaries. Now? We never hear a BLACK word about his BLACK Father, BLACK half brother and multiple other BLACK relatives in BLACK Africa, do we? BLACK BLACK BLACK!
Or take this:
Guess who bought into bought and paid for Obama media propaganda in mainstream media that will do anything for money? YOU DID, dupes and fools that you are.
It’s incoherent. Nothing wrong with incoherence, of course, but if you go that route you should go all the way. Learn from the Time Cube guy, a true master of gibberish:
ONEism IS A DEATH TRAP for Mom and Dad Opposites. You’re Educated ONE Nitwits, I possess Math & Science Proof.
Or take this:
Obama came straight out of the NOTORIOUSLY crooked Democrat Party Chicago Machine, including his being an attorney and activists for ACORN!
Too wordy. Cut it way back to give it real punch:
Obama CAME!
Palin says she considers herself intellectual
‘Palin said if she and husband Todd had had a sixth child, they had already picked a name for a boy joining siblings Track, Bristol, Willow, Piper and Trig.
“I always wanted a son named Zamboni,” she said.’

“No. Obama’s citizenship was never an issue, as his mother was a U.S. Citizen.”
Not to mention that he has a legitimate, non-forged, actually handled and inspected Hawaiian birth certificate. http://www.factcheck.org/elections-2008/born_in_the_usa.html
Thanks for the link to my post, it’s appreciated. However I do not think running a barbershop is easy, as I wrote, Obama is barely qualified to run one. However, based on his past experience with communists I have no doubt he would be well qualified to run Cuba, if only the Castro Brothers would allow that.
It would be funny to see how he would re-distribute the wealth down there since there is so little wealth to divvy up.
By the way, despite my Libertarian streak, I intend to vote for Obama as I explained in President Barack H. Obama will make me Rich.

When the righties lose, or even look like their losing, they proceed to go out of their goddamn minds. They’re melting down into quivering blobs of insanity, even the mainstreamers like Buchanan.
They better be doubling the Secret Service detail on Barack. I’m actually beginning to worry about the Obama family’s safety.
However I do not think running a barbershop is easy, as I wrote, Obama is barely qualified to run one.
We’ve made it through the past 8 years with a guy not qualified to be assisstant manager at Taco Bell (which, by the way, he believes is the name of the Mexican phone company). Somehow I think we’ll manage.
Meanwhile, why don’t you fill us in on your credentials – such as your stint as head of the Harvard Law Review?
By the way, despite my Libertarian streak, I intend to vote for Obama as I explained in President Barack H. Obama will make me Rich.

These few things alone should drive the price of gold to $2,000 an ounce or more, Allah willing.
If things go right and only one or two small cities get nuked (hopefully Baltimore or Detroit, you know, cities that this country would be better off without), then gold will reach a level that I can only dream about.
That’s nice, dear. Now run along and play with your fellow glibertarians.
Whoops, that Anonymous was me.
Why do people insist on using the word “libertarian” as a synonym for “bacon”?
I guess it sounds more dignified:
“I saw Barack Obama on TV and now I’ve got libertarian streaks all over my briefs.”
Maybe not.
No other factor demonstrates the essential synonymy of the two “parties” than the sheer number of formerly rabid GOPuke/Busheviks deserting the ship for Obama, and the ease with which they are seeming to accomplish it,…
Bernie, bernie bernie…
How can anyone who voted for Dubya complain about anyone voting for someone “unqualified” without their head exploding like a magnesium flare?
Chimpy was an abject failure at everything he ever tried to do in life, until he took up the family business of corrupt politics, where Poppy’s buddies could look after him.
Barack Obama was a success at everything he ever tried to do in life. Even running one of the greatest presidential campaigns in US history as a black guy with big ears and a funny name. The most deep blue Lefty would have said that was impossible just two short years ago.
“I intend to vote for Obama as I explained in President Barack H. Obama will make me Rich.” — Bernie from Planck’s Constant
That’s “putting country first”, you betcha.
Now that’s what I like to see. A guy who’s, well, frankly, he’s a bit of a dick if his blog is anything to judge by, but anyway, such a guy drops by to needle a bit since he’s been needled and nobody’s being all flamey or anything. Honestly I wasn’t sure that was still possible.
Unless I just blew it by saying “dick.”
Oh well, at least he is voting for Obama.
The right vote for the wrong reasons is still progress. Like when a potty training toddler only craps himself ONCE.
Re: the Pinkerton article.
Wow. I didn’t realize I was a Mormon! You see, long ago I used to be an avid reader of Orson Scott Card’s fantasy novels. Card is a Mormon, therefore I am too! I guess I’d better go shopping for magic underwear.
“In [Charlie Fried’s] letter, he said that chief among the reasons for his decision “is the choice of Sarah Palin at a time of deep national crisis.”
Good for Charlie Fried. And yet, is he saying the choice of Sarah Palin might have been anything less than irresponsible under different circumstances?
The only such instance I can imagine is if the Lower 48 were faced with the imminent threat of being attacked by wild wolves from Alaska. And even then, I would want to see credible evidence that the moose (meese?) had some sort of operational relationship with the wolves.
These fuckers are panicking now. They’ve dropped all pretense and are now just shrieking “HOW CAN YOU VOTE FOR HIM?” I’m still waiting for the N-bomb to be dropped.
Jeezus, some people simply CANNOT learn. It’s like they simply don’t have the capability. One wonders if they need a GPS device to find their way home from work every day.
I gather bernie’s premise is that a President Obama may not use America’s offensive military capabilities to deter small, asymetric terror attacks. And for that reason we are likely to suffer very high levels of terrorism, possibly (probably?) including the destruction of one or more cities with nuclear weapons.
While it is true that bush/cheney have used america’s offensive military power in response to 9/11, and it can rightly be said there has not been a large-scale terror attack on american soil since then. However if you believe this correlation is causation, then you probably believe that global warming IS caused by the reduction in pirates.
It is possible there will be another terror attack on the US, albeit much smaller in effect than 9/11, but it is VERY unlikely that an effective, functioning nuclear weapon will be built and delivered. And if anything has become obvious, it’s that terror is NOT a problem you can solve with large-scale military operations, but rather with law enforcement, intelligence gathering, diplomacy, a more honest and even-handed foreign policy and very small, focused, quiet and deadly specops strikes when the opportunity is available.
Once you accept that the bush doctrine was wasteful and counterproductive, you will realize that President Obama will do a much better job of national counter-terrorism than the belligerent idiocy we have seen the last eight years.
And as long as people were able to make small groups of violent anti-americans into the number one issue facing america, requiring unlimited expenditures to prevent a relatively few deaths, there was no hope for making the lives of americans better. And so they have not been made better. And while all eyes were focused on “a few thousand guys in caves”, the infrastructure broke, the economy melted down and it is OUR people who are living in poverty, without health care, education or hope.
The question finally had to be raised. Why is it that we have encouraged spending American’s money on all these foreign adventures, and so many cry out in genuine fear and anger when we propose spending American’s money on Americans?
At long last, it is indeed time for change…

Whoa!Whoa!Whoa!
Did somebody just call the gold-hoarding eliminationist racist libertarian guy a dick??
Civility, people!
Hear Hear.
Some examples of things which would cost the same, or less, than the “war on terror”
Foreign Adventures:
Providing a convenient source of clean, safe drinking water to every human being on the planet.
Stopping the AIDs epidemic.
Lift billions of the worlds poorest people out of poverty, and in to higher living standards, within stable and thriving economies.
End every famine in the world.
Domestic spending:
Providing every single person in the USA, citizen or not, with the worlds best healthcare, totally free of charge.
Building ultra-high speed rail links between all major US cities.
Upgrade the public education system to be truly competitive with the rest of the world, and to provide college/further education free of charge.
Something about jujubes, indeed:
Jujubes
“We need to ask President Bush to SUSPEND ELECTIONS for 60 days – start over – this isn’t American Idol – this is our future! Call or write President Bush and ask him to suspend the elections – it will take 60 days to sort out all of the fraudulent votes after Nov 4th anyways!.”

Say, wouldn’t that lovely Ryan Seacrest make a perfect president? He’s so… white.
Jujubes are so jejune.
And don’t forget that Obama uses hidden hypnosis techniques in his speeches:
http://www.pennypresslv.com/Obama%27s_Use_of_Hidden_Hypnosis_techniques_in_His_Speeches.pdf
I eagerly await the re-make of Puppet Masters.
Does Obama use subliminal seduction techniques, like marking an almost invisible and backwards “B” on the side of someone’s face?
Yeah. Obama is really struggling with Jews.
“The question is whether enough Americans understand what’s at stake in this election and, if they do, whether they care. Is the allure of a charismatic demagogue so strong that the usually sober American people are willing to risk…”
It’s good to know so many of the blowhard assholes that have tortured me like so much of their logic since I began my interest in politics, are now getting a big heaping dose of everything I’ve felt for the last decade.
Damon Weaver shows the pundits how it’s done – put that kid in the White House press-corps … & watch the caliber of questions go up a notch.
I agree – the man has ZERO qualifications in the hairstyling field. Good thing he’s not running for management of a barbershop, eh?
As for being POTUS? Even better than (Rhodes Scholar) Bill Clinton at law, & with a battle-tested ability to defeat a superior opponent through sheer grit & political karate even Jet Li would envy. In other words, just what the Supreme Court needs at this point in American history. He can give the Dems the 2nd term they so desperately need right now to prove their value as a ruling party.
Only a fool would suggest that this brilliant man isn’t the best thing to happen to the Democratic Party since JFK, & the polls demonstrate that daily ( see here for what some of those fools are saying about him).
How did the “usually sober” ‘Murikan people Select Preznit Boosh twicet– oops, well, maybe once. But I thought those old people on the Supreme court were “sober” mosta the time . . .
My own dad believes in the “forged Obama birth certificate” he’s a Mooslim Manchurian Candidate! scam. These people are immune to reason & “sobriety”. Like cargo cultists their little fantasies are not coming to pass. Had they not caused so much death & destruction, perhaps one could feel sorry for them . . .
Yeah, because defying the constant attacks from a behemoth only a few miles away from you for 50 years is easy to do, and any libertarian could obviously do it with the power of their gibbering arrogance alone.
& with a battle-tested ability to defeat a superior opponent through sheer grit & political karate even Jet Li would envy
Oh, jim. Jim, jim, jim. [Cue painful pedant] Jim, jim, jim.
Karate is Japanese, jim. The martial art that Jet Li practises is wushu.
Sigh. Jet Li. Poetry in motion. Every part a moving part.
Sorry, what were we talking about?
Hey look — InstaDumba** is now in favor of harsh, legislative limits on Vice-Presidential power.
I am totally surprised that the Unitarded Executrix conservatives now think there should be clear limits on Executard power now that George W. Ronald Reagan II Bush Jr is sailing away.
And because he mentioned Al Gore, he’s totally non-partisan, see?
Patrick Buchanan really frustrates me. He occasionally sounds like he’s on the same planet as I am, and this makes him rather unique among conservatives. But then he starts talking about brown people and he’s back on Uranus.
Is it possible that the Judge had actually issued a DIFFERENT ruling, and was FORCED to issue the one that was sent to him?
Because goodness knows, judges would never make decisions dependent on silly things like judgement, rationality or the Constitution…
So Bernie is going to vote for Obama specifically because he believes Obama’s so unqualified and will fail so badly it will enrich Bernie beyond his wildest dreams of avarice while destroying the country? Huh, I guess Bernie’s right, some Obama voters really ARE anti-American.

P.S. to Mrs. O’Sadly: Hey, ever since we lost the Martian Manhunter, the Justice League has had an opening. Applications are due on Halloween; I’ll put in a word for you.
My shame is manifest – by the discord in the multiverse that my clumsy trope has spawned, I have brought disgrace upon my clan & shall be banished into the netherworld with my catalogue of sins unshriven.
Yet to have evoked a blithe & wistful sigh, even if only via the hyperkinetic proxy of Jet Li, is recompense aplenty.
(pedantry is teh hawt)
‘Usually Sober’ would be a good name for a Puritan in a historical novel.
“Do they really want a closet communist whose friends and spiritual mentors are anti-American terrorists and Jew-hating demagogues to be President of this country?”
Wait, he’s a closet communist? Does this mean he advocates closets for each according to their need? I’ll vote for that!
