    Does this mean at some point soon his head will explode, a la Scanners?

    seriously, do you think they may try to replace him at the convention?
    i just hope he spends all their money by then...

    i'm just glad its all in my head.

    210 mile commute a day @ $4.35 a gallon
    3% salary pool with 2-3 lay offs per quater
    $13,000.00 loan for my son's first year
    Wife without work for six months
    Grocery prices, heating oil and health care costs..

    I had thought these things were real.

    i wish he'd take more food off of my familiy's table.

    Maybe McCrazy can find work along with Phil in Belarus.
  • Rab · 1 year ago
    Would be nice if the repugs would move their convention to Belarus.

    I don' think it is any more out of control now than during the Primary. It is just that we are focused on his statements not the war that raged between Hillary and Obama. If the media had done their job during the primaries we would have another candidate for the Repubs. No one has ever challenged McCain on his judgement or his voting record like so many of our elected officials we give them a pass. Votes on all bills need to be published for all to see. This cretin is not qualified to be President and is a danger to every American.
  • Goodcarver · 1 year ago
    You are right! John McCain is a very real and, unfortunately, remains a potent threat to all of us as Americans. He has the guts to question Obamas qualifications to be Commander-in-
    chief, but shows some signs of suffering Alzheimers - he is a cretinous monster and needs to be shown the door.

    Just wait until McCain picks Karl Rove as his VP. (hope I'm not letting anything out of the bag here...)
  • ndtovent · 1 year ago
    That would be just fine w/me, especially since KKKarl was just called out for snubbing a congressional subpoena.
  • lilybart · 1 year ago
    It's only not over yet because the media only profits from a close horserace. THEY will make sure they ignore all the McCain problems because it might end the race, and the ratings and the PROFITS if people think it is essentially over.

    Good morning! I have no time to whine this this morning, I have to go into town and spend my 15% B&N coupon before it expires. Myabe I'll buy a Starbucks before they go under.

    good article about how the EPA will take no action on limiting greenhouse gasses for the rest of bush's term. Here's the link:

    Nothing's been done in the EPA for almost 8 years. We've lost all that time.

    Quick update for a deep shit Friday. And you thought oil was going down? Hahahaha. Oil up $.4 to $147.95 and rising. Fannie and Freddie Mac are bankrupt and will probab;y go into a conserventry, which means that we the tax payers are going to be asked to bail them out. I wonder when their going to get around to bailing out the little guy? Gold up over $26 so far today and silver is limit up at $18.55. The financial world is flying off its hinges, but you have to stop the whining according to Phil Gramm. What a great way to start the weekend......:)

    the daddy fetishists at The New Republic will claim McCaim "won the week"

    McCain's campaign is out-of-control.

    No its not. Why Time Magazine says it was a huge success this week. <link>http://www.balloon-juice.com/?p=10819</link>

    As long Time Magazine and CBS News and MSNBC and the NY Times are doing OK, well...that's John McCain's campaign. What he and his employees do is actually quite irrelevant to the non-stop promotion of his interests by his "friendssss" in the MSM.

    McCain on videotape knocking over a liquor store: "Wow! Now that's Churchillian," says Chris Matthews.

    Apparently there's been a terrorist arrest in New York:
    NEW YORK -- A public school teacher was arrested today at John F. Kennedy International Airport as he attempted to board a flight while in possession of a ruler, a protractor, a set square, a slide rule and a calculator.

    At a morning press conference, the Attorney General said he believes the man is a member of the notorious Al-gebra movement.

    He did not identify the man, who has been charged by the FBI with carrying weapons of math instruction. 'Al-gebra is a problem for us', the Attorney General said. 'They desire solutions by means and extremes, and sometimes go off on tangents in search of absolute values.'

    They use secret code names like 'X' and 'Y' and refer to themselves as 'unknowns', but we have determined that they belong to a common denominator of the axis of medieval with coordinates in every country.

    As the Greek philanderer Isosceles used to say, 'There are 3 sides to every triangle'.

    When asked to comment on the arrest, President Bush said, 'If God had wanted us to have better weapons of math instruction, he would have given us more fingers and toes.'

    White House aides told reporters they could not recall a more intelligent or profound statement by the President.
