Nice essay.

I'll take the minibikes- a known quantity...but I guess it's too late for a second guess, no?

But if the minibikes were made in China, and the trip were actually to the Moon, I'd flip a coin to try for it. In that election, there wasn't that great a leap: with either of those two prezzidintial candidates, we were destined for the goatse.

At this point I'm glad obama won.

Mccain would have rolled over and given those POS's Pelosi and Reid anything they wanted and when it all came crashing down Congress and the MSM would have had another scapegoat(with a capitol R) to blame.

Granted my personal take is that the GOP will win big in 2010, then run straight into the weeds porking themselves silly.

But maybe the violence that comes after that will lead to something of an improvement.

I agree with guy, and Beck's frog and boiling water analogy. To gain perspective you have to overdo it and the electorate surely did in Nov 08.

A binge drinker who had to have a boiler maker at last call feels the bed spinning and puts there hand to the floor knowing full well it won't stop for a good while. If we don't drowned in our own puke, we'll wake up hung over with a massive swearing off and severe suffering. Hopefully we won't be stupid enough to go for some hair of the dog.

Further, I, once again, agree with you - secretly every socialist pinko supporting wealth redistribution figures they'll get more from the common pot than they put in. If they're the majority and the restraints of the constitution don't keep them from stealing our property and freedoms, maybe it's cosmic collective karma, then again there is that 2nd amendment.

"Cause my whole world lies waiting
Behind Door Number Three"

Ironically, I rediscovered an old Jimmy Buffett tape the other day, and remembered why I liked his early stuff so much.

I like watching the magical Obama voters on Deal or No Deal. The ones who are trusting in Jesus, and they fucking know they have the right briefcase. . . it happens over and over and over.

It's a fascinating glimpse into the triumph of numbers over numbskulls. All the beautiful girls, snappy banter, shiny lights and hate for the Banker. It's an age-old tale writ large and luxurious for the next gullible generation. I swear, they should make such shows part of teaching Civics in grade school.

Oh wait. . .

I hope voter's remorse is contagious.

He still appears on a whole lotta screen savers around here. He is loved.

You're a little late to the party with the velour straightjacket

The only real reason to watch LMAD: To see what Carol Merrill was wearing that day! She was to Monte what Vanna White was to Pat Sajek. Absent those two hotties there is no show.
