Oh boy, the night we’ve all been waiting for since, um, last Thursday: Obama/McCain Debate #2. This one’s a “Town Hall” style debate, and I’m sure they’ve sanitized all the audience members and their questions. Still, there’s always the hope that McCain will flip out and his head will explode. Or at least drop a few f-bombs or something. The Chat Room is already open for those of you who want to get an early start. Otherwise, see y’all around 9:00 Eastern time tonight.
Caribou Barbie was in town yesterday. She only drew about 4000 people, which I guess is encouraging. The local NBC affiliate sent their right-wing toady anchorboy to Fort Myers to nab an EXCLUSIVE! interview, which I have been trying to avoid since yesterday.
People are drawn to this woman why? Maybe I’m not Amurrican enough to get it. Or maybe stupid and winky isn’t my particular kink.
KP, WTF happened with Jeff Farias? This sucks.
Oh, my. Somebody’s been paling around with terrorists.
What do you mean? I haven’t been able to listen to him?

Those are great, SJ. Thanks for passing them along.
I love the one where Lieberman is weeping as Palin steals his date! :rofl2:
Great drawings! Especially the one of Emmylou Harris. Still stunning.
But why are we making fun of Palin believing man co-existed with dinosaurs? Have none of you watched The Flintstones?
:rofl2:
Oh, baby, the Dow closed down over 500 points today (over 5%) – a new 5-year low. NASDAQ is down almost 6%, the S&P 500 down over 5%….
How many times can grampa say “Obama is a terrorist” tonight?
The DOW closed down 508 points.
I remember the Weather Underground and yet I’d forgotten the name of Bill Ayers. I wonder how Obama was supposed to know him. Oh well, it doesn’t matter, Palin has a bigger flag pin and that must mean she’d be a better preznit.
One thing I do remember about the Weathermen was that they were careful to make sure no people were hurt. No one was ever killed or injured by a Weather Underground action, except the 3 people making bombs for them who blew themselves up in a house in Greenwich Village.
This is not to excuse what they did, but the 60’s were turbulent times. Serious stuff was happening. Young men were being conscripted into a war they did not want and where fear, sadism, drugs and insanity sent them home so traumatized they were no longer the same people they had been. That is, of course, if they managed not to be one of the 58,000 Americans killed in Viet Nam. others were tearing families apart and leaving the country to avoid conscription.
The country was divided and “us against them” was a reality that played itself out in many ways.
Sometimes it got really scary.
How many times can grampa say “Obama is a terrorist†tonight?

Will the people in the audience be allowed to yell “KILL HIM!” like they do at the rallies?
Did I say allowed? I meant encouraged.
:fu:
You know, you have to admire the sheer gall of the woman.
Wow, how do these people say this shit with a straight face?? You know damned well they can’t really believe it. Unless they’re completely insane which is totally possible.
man, couldn’t remember my password! Hi :gate:
I’m showing Rich (davesgamble) where you are!
