I’ve been sitting here waiting for inspiration to hit, but it hasn’t. Maybe tomorrow.
UPDATE: OK, here’s some inspiration.
If you watched Kevin’s physics class on youtube it probably put your brain to sleep. 😕
I thought yesterday’s mvs was pretty :menorah: -not that there’s anything wrong with that
If I could go back in time, I’d correct my first entry to say “Travis’s physics class” not Kevin’s. If only there was some way to go back and correct an entry 😕
Yesterday we drove behind a Hasidic Jew :rabbi: whose car had Hebrew bumper stickers, above which was one which read: Obama 08.
That made me curious and so on the way to work I pass through a part of Brooklyn that is home to a large, religious Jewish community. I looked around expecting to see McInsane/Appaling signs all over and didn’t see one.
As Cicero said, “Dum anima est, spes esse dicitur.” (While there is life there is hope.)
I hope that doesn’t mean that they’re just not voting.
Not voting is fine. It’s a whole lot better than voting for McInane.
My daughter, Jenn, says that when she meets people who are supporting McInane, she tries to convince them not to vote, which she says is easier than trying to convince them to support Obama.
John McCain traces the rancorous tone of the presidential campaign back to last summer when he invited Barack Obama to have lots and lots of town-hall meetings with him all around the country. When Obama turned him down, obviously McCain had no choice but to start depicting his opponent as a terrorist-loving advocate of talking dirty to kindergarteners.
Finally this week, the two men did meet in a town-hall showdown, which turned out to be like all other debates, except with much less excitement and much more pacing around. It seems unlikely that many people switched off their TV sets and said: “Gee, I could sit through a dozen of these.â€

Gail Collins is one of my favorite columnists as she usually makes me laugh…a definite plus lately.
West Babylon’s Arye Sachs, age 48, has a simple hobby: cruising Manhattan with a 25-foot-long missile emblazoned with the slogan, “Viva Viagra.” But his love for that inexhaustible fount of Viagra comedy has now landed him in legal trouble, as the company is suing him in federal court for illegal use of their logo……
He also revealed that he got the missile in and out of Manhattan via the Midtown Tunnel, where, on September 8th, police laughed and saluted when they saw him. Got that terrorists? Missiles in the tunnel are a-okay, but don’t you dare mess with our corporate logos.

There’s a picture, too!
That Strongsville Ohio video inspired me to :barf:
Or for lack of fred’s favorite emo: :jason:
:growl: :fu: :fustrate:
If McCain wins I will have to boycott the state of Ohio :knit:
I have wondered if it might not be a good idea to ask Obama-supporting kids and grandkids to call their McCain-supporting parents and grandparents and beg them to vote in the interests of the younger generation. If a voter is getting ready to check out of this world anyways, why not give your grandkids the leader they are begging for?
My daughter who has been talking to all the Republicans she knows, says two of those Republicans have emailed her, one t say she is voting for Obama and one to say he will not vote this year.
:banana:
I thought that clip last night from MIT would jolt some life into the blog (we need a Frankenstein emo for Halloween).

The do closed down 679 points. It now stands a.t 8579. Pretty amazing
40 percent decrease in a year. Ouch…
I finally had a chance to watch the video. Strongsville is a little southwest of Cleveland. This is the part of Ohio where I was born and raised. There were a lot of racist idiot assholes living there at the time. Apparently they continue to breed.
Conversely, northeast Ohio is heavily Democratic. The state usually trends from blue to red as you move from northeast (Cleveland) to southwest (Cincinnati). So this video is not a representation of everyone in northeast Ohio. Just the racist idiot assholes.
And it’s not like Florida is devoid of its own racist idiot assholes. Trust me.
Yes I know Kevin…I have some very liberal friends in Ohio. I lived there in the late 70’s.
This is just another side of “What Went Wrong in Ohio”
:yuck: :barf:
There is no dearth of racist jerks. Somehow they manage to be everywhere.
I’m sure the blonde in that video is on someone’s “I can’t get rid of my batshit crazy ex-girlfriend” list.
Rachel Maddow on Leno tonight.
Maron v. Brendan was a little messed up in real time today with sound and video problems but this link looks good.
It is a better show without Seder imho, at least every now and then.
Nobody email me because I’m too fucking damn busy to respond!
OMFG(oh my fucking god) I just watched that video in the thread opener. We’re living amongst MORONS! :fustrate:
Marc needs a cozy eh? :knit: :knit2:
:barf:
Vernon, thanks for the link. I was really disappointed when the show got screwed up.
It was great listening to Marc and he really seems to be in better shape.
I don’t know if was inspiring PJ but it certainly was enraging.
😡
I thought Marc made a great point. Someone should be collecting this stuff and documenting in the event that there is the need to investigate.
It is hateful, it is mob mentality, it is inflammatory possibly to the point of inciting violent acts, it is sick and unAmerican. I think it will turn off more people than the idiots and bigots it fires up.
Gotta have the funny to balance out the :barf: :fustrate:
yeah…right.
:doh: i think hes a one man terror cell
