The 28th person in the row, the one with the hat, he looks just like John McCain…
Must be my imagination.
You have good, er – eyes.
Would it be too punny if I said that this picture depresses me?
No, I chuckled.
Not really, depresses me too
Takes me back to history class. It’s the last thing I wanted to remember…
*insert broadbrush stroke of something partisan about one side not remembering
history*
all old men look like John McCain
I wished all 72 year olds still look so active as McCain. You can say whatever you want about him, but you can’t deny he doesn’t look good.
You’re right, I cannot deny that he doesn’t look good. Indeed, I affirm that he doesn’t look good.
Basic english fail
O crap I just saw that, I reálly need some grammar lessons.
hahah
too, true. he looks ok. Just don’t make him angry. His face doesn’t get red or anything, but his glands seem to swell…
Which glands, *thats* the questions!
The question we’re leaving alone…. very alone.
Of course, this isn’t happening, which means we shouldn’t do what we did then. No New Deals, please!
Some public works programs wouldn’t be unwelcome. If people are going to be on welfare, they ought to at least contribute something to the public good.
But there’s a shortcut that removes the middle man: stop giving out welfare. Then people will engage in work programs on their own.
Maybe, maybe not. I’d rather have the public works programs anyway… a lot of dams and other useful improvements got built that way. We can’t just let people starve in the streets (I’m an agnostic and have better morals than that, so step up Christians!!), so if we’re going to pay them we ought to get something for our money!
Why would the people work on these work programs, and who is going to make the programs?
Although some things are the same (bursting of a government policy induced bubble with tremendous effects on the bank), thank god there are some real differences. Thanks to the insights of Milton Friedman, the banks get a lot of liquidity. And, referring to this picture, there is no mass-unemployment.
If it were, Hussein and Lieberman would have a 95% lead over McCain and Plain.
Thanks to the insights of Milton Friedman = Epic Economics Fail
Democrats arguing that we’re heading into another depression will probably hit a wall of pure awkwardness along the line eventually; seeing as how what got us out of the first one was WW2…
Bring on the III!
“I know not with what weapons World War III will be fought, but the fourth will be fought with stones.” –Albert Einstein
Ooooh, I like that one.
Well said ^^.
To true… and he forgot to mention it will be fought by people in the poorest most unstrategically important places in the world. Hence the only reason they survived number three. I mean does anyone think we can have number three and NOT have somone bust out the Nuc’s. It’s been done before but this time every side has them not just one.
At least Obama will make sure the Iranians have nukes for III.
Umm, sorry, guys, we’re in WWIV. Reagan won WWIII.
Russia and the US were never officially at war with each other, that I know of. In fact, this was specifically avoided.
In fact, it is considered to be one of the many reasons why we lost Vietnam, because US forces weren’t allowed to attack Soviet supply ships (at least for most of the war).
.
So yes, there was intelligence, counter intelligence and other forms of espionage. But there was not war.
Reagan never did you big liar. The Osama bin Laden won WWIII, by making the Russians bog themselves down and spend themselves silly.
Whew! I’m sure glad no other superpower would be… so stupid… um…
Tell me again why we’re having a financiall meltdown?
the cold war? The USSr fell on it’s own. People gave him too much crdit on that.
The US was already on the way out of the depression by 1933. War helped, but wasn’t the only thing.
Germany needed the war preparations to bring back their economy, but most of the world recovered well enough without.
Sing with me now:

made it race against time.
