Yeah, in this crazy world where shit changes on a dime, it's nice to know that somethings are always gonna be there for you.

I was going to let this pass; But, considering the reactions . . .  Is it the "non-politically-correct" wording here or the statement its-self that every-body seems to have a problem with?  The query seems fair enough in light of Obama's voting record (Approved wire-tapping, renewal of the PATRIOT ACT, etc.).

Mind you, I tend not to waste much time following political campaigns; So, it's (Doubt-Full, but not entirely possible) that I missed some-thing.  What exactly distinguishes Obama from McCain to warrant such jubilation over his victory?  I do recall the word "Change" being heavily brandished; But, I don't seem to recall him ever expounding on that.

No, I can-not share your laughter, Ship of Fools.

I had a dream (really, I did dream it, not just for the sake of speechifying about a dream or some other wish fulfillment) about a new Obama presidency cartoon. It's a take-off on one of the posters from Driving Miss Daisy, except there's a old Boomer bitch in the back complaining about affordable healthcare and her non-existent pension/401k. They're driving to the pharmacy for one of fifteen different prescriptions. I just don't have the patience to draw and scan it, or to Photoshop it, but it should be real easy to produce.

Oh Dec, you're funny.

And now, a recap of the past 20 months.

Was I not clear?  Fucking, cheap-ass, Swazi-to-English lessons!

I guess I'm just dense but, no. It read as a bunch of babble mostly. try RosettaStone.

Don't worry.  Dec is struggling to enter the ninth circle of obsurantism and radicalism-as-self-imagery.  Ralph was, well, just ralphing.  His choice of wording is much like Ann Coulter -- geared to try to ge a rise.  Otherwise, he wouldn't be able to get a camera pointed at him any more.  His "query" was hardly that.  At best rhetorical, it was not a query at all but a plea for attention.

Characterize him as you will, remember that Obama was labeled a socialist, a marxist, the most liberal senator, a redistributionist and a terrorist-loving radical.  To charge off to the left would be quixotic, and to engage in the kind of hyperbole that some find enchanting and romantic would be to waste a great opportunity.  So fuck me.  Please.
