I don’t get it…
As in “Liar, liar, pants on fire.”
So what is this, black man commits white lie?

You need to think outside the box.
Now, this is funny!

This is pretty funny though, love the expressions
Me too!
I could see this on a SNL election special.
I get it… but I don’t get what it’s referring to.
It’s just the perfect lol for the image… you can almost picture the debate and hear them saying those words… that is why I think this is so funny, who ever captioned it was awesome.
I gotta agree.. I saw this one in the Upcoming and LOL’ed..
*sets time machine for six months ago*
Haha! Okay, now it’s funnier.
perfect!
I happened to see Biden on Meet The Press (yes, they have it here in Australia) and I’m wondering, did he get a spray on tan? Either that or he has jaundice because he was looking a bit yellowish-orange.
Adjust the color knob on your t.v. Duh.
Oh! uh, didn’t help.. Brokaw looked natural but Biden got even more yellow?
If Brokaw looked natural then your settings were OBVIOUSLY off.
I didn’t know that you were an Aussie, loved your country when I visited back in 81.
No no.. I’m American, I just happen to live here..
Nice place, a little dry in spots, a little wet in others.
Yeah, it’s not bad at all. I miss the States though (at least certain aspects). I drive people here crazy though because I seem to have an opinion on everything! hehe
What’s your nick?
I miss the Great Country.
I used to call it the Lucky Country, but people thought I meant Ireland. *sigh*
Eat a Tim Tam for me.
*sigh*
and some vegemite, yuck
You’ve just never had it fixed right, mate. It’s a difficult taste to get down for most – but then again, we’re raised on it, so not so hard for us.
Lightly scraped on warm toast with butter is about the only way I can get anyone to eat it anymore. I’ll take it however I can get it.
It’s rather good for you.
I think the raised on it part is about right… more power to ya.
OOooooo, Tim Tams!!!! I love Tim Tams!
I’m still thrown off by the whole 9 out of 10 things possess deadly venom bit.
LOL! The normal house spider will even cause you a bit discomfort. And don’t forget the kangaroos.. not deadly, but they can beat the ever loving crap out of you.
Not deadly? They don’t go out of their way to attack you, but, have a look at one’s rear legs. They have one toe longer than the others. What it’ll do is, grab you with it’s forepaws then, how can I say it, stick one or both feet in you and drag them down, while it balances on it tail.
Oh and don’t let your dog annoy one, especially if there’s any body of water around. It will either chase the dog, or let itself be chased, into said water, and then tear into the dog, literally.
Ok, sorry.. I should have explained further by saying they aren’t venomous. And you are correct, they can be deadly. Thanks for clarifying. I did hear about a lady just outside of Sydney that was attacked by a 6 ft red and while it didn’t kill her, it messed her up pretty badly. I live here, but I don’t usually see them out and and about. A few wallabies and a small roo here and there, but that’s about it.
They do have some cool lizards that run really fast on their hind legs, hit a tree on a dead run, then go straight up on four legs, awesome…only problem when in the woods, don’t stand still they will think that you are a tree.
Reminds me of a video involving my uncle, a peanut, and an overly assertive squirrel.
I knew a girl like that once. But only once.
so did I… did we go to the same high school?
“Democrats never agree on anything, that’s why they’re Democrats. If they agreed with each other, they would be Republicans.” – Will Rogers
… and get rich through agreeing without having the same opionon. ‘cuz who cares what you think if you have no money? and if you have enough money what the hell do you care who cares?
Here’s a question for you.. would you rather be rich or poor?
I’d rather be happy.
Oh, I agree.. but based on what siobhan asked, I was curious what she would rather be.
I would rather be rich. And since I make less than $250k a year Obama’s tax cuts will be my best bet to make that happen.
Will Rogers must be pretty stupid if he believes that.
Up until the selection of Sarah Palin, many Republicans were reluctant to support McCain because he was too close to the Democrats. Unlike Obama, who only pretends to cross party lines based on principle, McCain has actually done it.
Will Rogers is dead, EP. Much like McCain’s campaign.
Oddly enough, he died in Alaska. The parallels are astounding!
Will Rogers died in Alaska and McCain’s campaign is born in Alaska! You are correct sir!
Willing it so will not make it so. Your devotion to the cause is admirable (your chosen cause less so), but it’s time to open your eyes and see the truth. McCain and Palin have no hope of victory.
Don’t underestimate the strong will of devoted people. May the best side win.
I don’t know.. I saw the latest Gallup poll and the numbers are pretty close.. 47% – Obama, 45% McCain. Regardless of what side you support, it’s going to be a white knuckle ride for sure.
Oops.. correction.. 48% – McCain, 45% – Obama..
The difference at the moment in estimated College votes is New Hampshire, four (slim) votes for Obama that, if won over by McCain, would cause a tie… D:
Speaking of college votes, Have you heard what happened in VA? They issued a notice to students that registering to vote here could cause them to lose scholarships, health care coverage and cause problems with auto insurance and car registrations.
Also the 600,000 Ohio voters (not all are active voters) from 5 counties who might be purged?
If you live in Ohio or know anyone in Ohio make sure they confirm registration.
Hell, everyone should just confirm voter registration. 2/3 of provisional ballots are tossed.
Link in my name to vote caging story
Last week, Virginia’s Montgomery County, home to Virginia Tech, issued a press release regarding proper protocol for college students registering to vote. In interviews with Inside Higher Ed Tuesday, it was described by turns as “unsubstantiated,” “chilling,” and (more generously) as not “incredibly encouraging or friendly.”
It reads, in part: “The Code of Virginia states that a student must declare a legal residence in order to register. A legal residence can be either a student’s permanent address from home or their current college residence. By making Montgomery County your permanent residence, you have declared your independence from your parents and can no longer be claimed as a dependent on their income tax filings — check with your tax professional. If you have a scholarship attached to your former residence, you could lose this funding. And, if you change your registration to Montgomery County, Virginia Code requires you to change your driver’s license and car registration to your present address within 30 days.”
The county registrar of elections said Tuesday that the memo was intended to counteract the absence of cautionary information given to students signed up through the ubiquitous get-out-the-vote registration drives. Generally speaking, however, those interviewed for this article said the warnings are, at worst, farfetched and misleading, or, at best, overstated and not typically supported in reality.
And, in a year in which historic youth voter turnout is anticipated, and the Democratic presidential candidate Barack Obama has been propelled by college students’ support, this case in the battleground state of Virginia is “not an isolated incident,” said Sujatha Jahagirdar, program director for the Student Public Interest Research Group’s nonpartisan New Voters Project.
“For a county registrar to issue what really are in our experience unsubstantiated warnings for a particular demographic is alarming,” said Jahagirdar. “It’s upsetting that this is coming up in Virginia. But it’s even more upsetting that the ability of young people to vote is questioned in many other states too.”
She added: “In 25 years of registering young voters around the country, none of the staff has ever heard of a single incident where a student has lost their tax status or their scholarship because of where they’ve registered to vote.”
Meanwhile, Obama’s campaign, which has been registering voters on Virginia Tech’s campus, has called the information propagated by the county “erroneous.” The campaign’s Virginia spokesman, Kevin Griffis, cited an exemption in the U.S. tax code allowing dependents to live away from home while attending school.
And he said that while students should check with their individual health insurers, in the campaign’s calls to 10 top health insurance companies, none indicated that registering to vote at a college address would be grounds for dismissing students from coverage, “and in fact some of them laughed at us.” (In an interview with Inside Higher Ed, Lynne High, a spokeswoman for the mammoth United Healthcare, echoed that students covered on their parents’ health insurance plans aren’t affected if they register to vote in another state.)
“We should be trying to engage as many people as possible in the political process, and have them take part in the civic life of their communities. In the case of students at Virginia Tech, their community is Blacksburg. That’s where they live; that’s where they call home. They should be able to vote there,” Griffis said. (The campaign of the Republican presidential nominee, John McCain, did not return a call to its Virginia state office Tuesday.)
On Information
Montgomery County followed up its first dispatch with a somewhat more neutrally worded news release two days later, on August 27. This one raised similar issues but in the form of questions, which students were prompted to consider in deciding whether to register to vote where their family lives or where their college is.
Among them: “Are you claimed as a dependent on your parents’ income tax return? If you are, then their address is probably your legal residence…. Do you have a scholarship that would be affected if you changed your legal residence?.. Would your health, automobile or other insurance coverage be affected by a change in your legal residence? If you are covered under your parents’ insurance policy, your protection could be affected by a change in your legal residence.”
The language in the county’s second release was taken from the Virginia State Board of Elections’ Web site, which in itself is discouraging, said Jon Greenbaum, director of the Voting Rights Project at the Lawyers’ Committee for Civil Rights Under Law, in Washington. “If you were to look at this as a student, the suggestion that the State Board of Elections is giving you is, ‘You probably should not register to vote here. Don’t register to vote here.’ We think that’s the wrong message to be sending.”
In an interview, E. Randall Wertz, the general registrar of elections for Montgomery County, cited the State Board of Election’s guidance on college student registration as what he relied upon. He explained that, in sending the memo, he was attempting to combat either the misinformation, or lack of information, that college students have to consider when signing up through voter registration drives.
“What’s happening is they’re going out across campus over here and just getting people to sign the registration forms left and right and not telling them issues to consider, or telling them the incorrect information,” said Wertz. “Before they make the decision to register with us, they need to check with the accountant who does the taxes. They need to check if they’re on their parents’ health insurance. By being at a separate permanent address, does that affect their insurance?”
“I was just trying to inform them of things to consider, and then once they’ve made an informed decision and decide to come with us, we welcome them,” Wertz said.
“We don’t want to suppress them from voting and we certainly want them to vote. It’s just, what’s best for them is what they need to consider. Unfortunately, the campaigns, they’re not concerned with what’s best for the student. They’re generally concerned with just getting people signed up.”
From Tuesday through Friday of last week, voter registration drives at Virginia Tech brought more than 2,000 new registrations to the county, Wertz said. He also estimated that about 25 students have called to ask if the county could cancel the processing of their registration.
Wow. I don’t even have words for that.
Probably break the board if we add anymore.
Sorry, I will stick with posts on the “see spot run” level
Why don’t you start your own blog? You have plenty to say, then you link to it. Nice to have shorter pithy posts in here, this is not the place for serious political debate.
Don’t listen to anyone that tells you to dumb down, JB. You and I don’t always come down on the same side, but this is something I can really appreciate.
Wishful thinking. McCain is ahead of Obama by three points in the latest Gallup poll.
When the truth about Bill Ayers becomes more widely circulated, there will be poll carnage.
EP, enough already…we get that you love Bill Ayers, just give it a rest dude… you can have him blow up your army men later.
EP, you do know that when Ayers did all the crap he did, Obama was just potty-trained for a couple of years? Thus linking Obama with that makes sense…how?
Apparently it proves that Obama is the debbil or something. I’m not really sure on the reasoning. (Not that “reasoning” is what conservatives do, but whatever.)
Hey now! I can be reasonable, as long as you see it my way!!
Well as n8 states Will Rogers is dead. He died in 1935. He made a lot of comments about politics that still seem relevant today. He was a Democrat who in 1928 ran for president under the Anti-bunk party with the motto “If elected I will resign” and “I dont worry about platforms, its not like anyone keeps to them”. I was hoping others might have known some of the information around the quote and found it humorous, not turn it into attacks…
Hey, I liked the quote and then the additional interesting info you provided but you’re missing some of the point of PK is that anything and everything, no matter how innocuous can and will be turned into attacks. It’s an unwritten law. The difference between here and failblog is that the attacks are *usually* intelligent.
Just because thought was put into them doesn’t make them intelligent. ;D
Ooooh, good point. *golf clap*
I always liked the comment of “I don’t belong to any organised party. I’m a Democrat”
This makes me wonder how many pairs of pants Bush has gone through already, and he STILL has 4 months of presidency left! So THAT’S where taxpayer money has been going the past almost 8 years!
You wouldn’t know Bush is in office though, 8 minute speech at the RNC? People with Bush buttons asked to remove them before the press coverage started? The pugs complain that we vilify Bush but his own party is doing a better job of disrespecting him than we ever could.
I know that this ;o; is done, and I know that I haven’t been in the forum very long… But this is the BEST lol that I have seen.
