Yay! A dig at both sides!
*celebrates with you*
Why am I suddenly singing “The Farmer and the Cowman Should Be Friends” from Oklahoma? *wonders*
It’s one of the great questions of the universe
Let me sing it with you, even though I don’t know the words
Also, which one am I? 
That’s a good question, lol! I don’t know which one I am either! *singing* Oooooooooooh………the farmer and the cowman should be friends……oh, the farmer and the cowman should be friends! One man likes to chase a cow, the other likes to push a plow, but that’s no reason why they can’t be friends!!!
*sigh*
I love show tunes
And yes, in bed
Well, I do like chasing cows *snickers* I call farmer!
And yes, in bed
Well my job here is done.
Nooooo! *clings*
XD *pets* Thanks love, tis always nice to be needed.
… In bed.
With chainsaw…
And extra fiber.
“You know this one time I was with a woman who was into auto-
erotic asphyxiation, where you use safe words. So we’re going at
it and Im choking her and she starts to say ‘*inaudible choking
noise*’ and I say ‘…. No… that’s not the word.’”
yes, you must not leave us! I might forget to add “in bed” on sometimes.
LOL…
*epic stance* Wherever there is a thread too serious. Wherever the serious needs to be screwed… I’ll be there…
IN BED!!! *giggles maniacally*
Lynn wasn’t complaining.
*Three Amigos Salute*
You just made my day. Oh, and now it’s stuck in my head, too!
A most apt decription. I lol’d.
Well, in McCain’s case it’s the art of throwing out more lies than your opponent can debunk in the time allotted to him. But perhaps that wouldn’t have made as witty a poster.
Nah, we needed a neutral lol. Just enjoy it.
Neutrality is so boring, though. Flame wars pass the time so much more quickly, and the day is crawling so far.
Hmmm, I best think of something then…
Um, erm… I got it!!!
McCain Drilling Palin from behind while she beats off Obama and Biden!
Discuss.
Aw man, now I feel dirty, but there are no showers at work!
I have showers here where I work.. but they’re dirtier than how I feel right now.
Had I not already satisfied it, I would have just lost my appetite. I mean, Obama-on-Palin action I could support, but let’s nix the geriatrics, eh? (OMG Age-ism!!!)
I suppose you have a point. I was just making sure not to imagine it. Fine, fine.
Palin in leather being flogged by McCain’s campaign staff for another gaffe. Meanwhile Obama and Biden are having fight club because Biden won’t shut up.
Oh yeah, Bidey… Talk dirty to me!
I knew you would approve.
So… which one’s the imaginary Schizo personality… and which one is
the insomniac?
I approve of this deranged fantasy. Although, I suspect most people would imagine Palin as the flogger rather than the flogged.
Not all fantasies need be pornographic, however. I just envisioned Obama and Biden as Billy and Jimmy Lee from Double Dragon. Biden, of course, has the bat.
Well if Palin would stop making mistakes, she wouldn’t have to be flogged. Never played Double Dragon but for some reason I am having a problem converting them to video game characters at all.
AHA… Bush as Stubbs the Zombie…
Double Dragon was THE fight-game franchise, at least until Final Fight and Street Fighter 2 came along. Good times…
Ah, I heard of it. Just never played it. I enjoyed Streets of Rage myself.
Streets of Rage! I always played that kid with skates in the second one.
Me too! Him and the chick, the other two were lame.
I was fond of unlocking Shiva in the third one and using him to pwn the game.
Bill Mahr called her an “Evangelist Dominatrix” on Real Time the other night……
I effing LOLed
I can imagine, she isn’t in charge of anything in that campaign.
I would much rather prefer Obama as Mega Man X.. you know, adapting as
he goes along, while Biden is Zero… in your face with a laser sword of
criticism bitches.
You are one twisted individual. I like that.
Glad I can entertain.
McCain did mention a t-shirt he found offensive. I immediately thought that it must have been that one.
Or maybe it was the, “Benedict Arnold was a war hero too” t-shirt that I’ve also seen on this site.
More coffee also helps pass the time.
Amongst other things.
Ya, pass the time on the toilet.
Espresso has a higher caffeine to volume ratio.
Caffeine is a laxative…
Oh ya, that too. O_O
I have the feeling both parties are playing good cop/bad cop with the American public, keeping us polarized and fighting each other so we’re too busy and frightened to notice that it’s just one party, the Big Business party, with two different masks.
Wow, that is pretty much why I am an moderate/independent/whatever. Neither are really clean.
Seth? Did you take a happy pill today? *checks forehead* Hmmmm…..no fever. Why are you suddenly on my side?
Yeeees. It’s all big business’ fault. All the problems of the world are the result of huge evil corperations.
You’re poor and an Art major, aren’t you?
No all the problems of the world are the result of condescending, presumptuous
Wow… Pundit Kitchen decided my post was done… odd..
As I was saying they’re the result of condescending presumptuous, classists
that cant spell corporations.
This one was great!! Good job Slackertarian!
US presidential elections are a joke. You took bullsh*t to a whole ‘nother level.
When Americans fail, they fail epically.
In bed with big business.
Big biz is a slut, though. Government, foreign interests, organized crime… Biz will dance with anyone!
No, that’s where they win.
Epic win!!!
of course the ‘elections’ are a joke, and a colossal waste of time and money. Didn’t anyone learn anything from the 2000 election? The ol’ boy system is going to use any and every dirty trick they have to get who ever they want in office. Our votes are meaningless. If we don’t ‘vote’ for who the government wants, they use the ‘electoral college’ to fix the ‘problem’ for them. ‘Campaigning’ is just a distraction tool they use to keep us from paying attention to what they are really doing. Notice how neatly the $700 billion bailout is being swept under the rug? The gas shortages are already being hidden.
*Shrug* I’d say we should wake up and pay attention to the real issues, but, I know that it would fall on deaf ears. So, just sit back, have another beer, and go back to complacency. There’s nothing we can do about it anyway.
“The ol’ boy system” eh?
What about ACORN and their fraudulent voter registrations?
*
Also, when has an elector voted against what the state voted?
*
The electoral college does not bias itself towards one candidate or the other, but this system means that you can lose the popular vote and still win the election.
Golf analogy: Golf is usually played that the lowest score wins the game. But, if you played so that the lowest score wins the hole, then you tallied up the number of holes you won, you can win the game without having the lowest score.
They’re called “faithless electors.” Rare, but it does happen, even as recently as the 2004 election.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Faithless_elector
The ACORN thing has been discussed ad nauseum. So I have a simple analogy for you.
I transport money for the mob. Every suitcase of money I get has some real money and some counterfeit. You see me and ask me what is in the suitcase and I tell you money. You pull a gun and tell me to give you the money or I die. So I hand you the suitcase and say, “The stacks with yellow rubber bands are counterfeit. The purple rubber bands are real money.” But you go ahead and use the counterfeit money anyway. Even though you know it is fake. That is not my fault.
So. To make it even simpler for you. I would be ACORN in this case, and you would be the government. ACORN flags all the suspicious and false voter registrations (yellow rubber bands around the fake money), that they are required by law to turn in (“hand over the money or you die” part). If the city clerk’s office registers the ones that have been flagged (you using the counterfeit money) it is not ACORN’s fault because they did everything in their power to stop it.

An elector campaigned and voted for Mickey Mouse one election. I’ll have to get back to you on the specific election, but I learned about it in my history book in high school.
The election of 1876. Hayes vs. Tilden. Tilden won the popular vote, Hayes won the electoral vote.
Or the 2000 vote. Same thing.
Hehe… Sorry this is unrelated to the post but I had to share with ya’ll.
Someone signed me up for the GOP’s emails, which I find very interesting and read often for the lulz.
An email I received 20 minutes ago talked about Joe the Plumber and how he’s going to suffer under Obama’s tax plans.
Anyone who’s been watching the news knows Joe the Plumber is a fraud who has no idea that we’re already using a Progressive Tax system and that he would actually save money under Obama because he doesn’t make anywhere near $250k a year, nor does the business he plans to buy.
So I called the DC office of Senator Orrin Hatch, the author of the email, and cordially told his secretary that Senator Hatch’s email made him look foolish and out of touch for continuing to use Joe the Plumber as an example of an American who would be negatively effected by Obama’s tax plans. I then went on to tell her that Sen. Hatch’s email only encourages me to vote Obama and that I would be passing my opinion on to others, including my family who live in red counties throughout California and Oregon.
Join in on the lulz, here’s Senator Hatch’s DC office phone number: (202)224-5251.
Joe the Plumber is a GOP plant.
Joe pointed out that the Emporer has no clothes….and wants to tax you blind.
Joe is not a plumber. Joe is not registered to vote. Joe makes less than $250,000/year, so his taxes will go down. Not only is Joe a Republican media whore, he is an idiot. Not only is he an idiot, the people who decided McCain should use him, without vetting him (again with the no vetting!), are complete and utter morons. Finally, even if he were a real plumber, registered to vote, and made over $250,000/year, nobody gives a damn. It’s the economy, stupid. Bad economy trumps everything, even taxes.
I read that Joe is a registered republican.
The rest is true.
And of course, all rich people are evil, so they can be taxed until they’re poor again.
Yay! Robin hood!
You do know that that’s not how taxes work, right?
You’re right, but Obama’s statement about redistributing wealth is exactly how that works.
That is a poorly chosen catchphrase, I would agree with that. But it’s absurd to think that Obama is planning to rob rich people of their money to give it to the poor so everybody is equally wealthy. I wouldn’t support him if that were the case, being the owner of a business that makes well over $250.000 a year.
I don’t see anything wrong with us richies paying higher taxes if that’s what it takes to get our country out of its slump, though.
“IT”S THE SPENDING !!!!”
No matter how much money the government takes from us, they always manage to spend more.
Hopefully the recent happenings have taught them a lesson… BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!
Sorry, couldn’t keep a straight face.
He, uh, kind of said exactly that the other day. It’s not a catchphrase as much as a Freudian Slip, I think
Except that the president cant DO that. He cant just take your
money away and give it to others. No more so than he can just
take your guns away. And when you think about it… your paycheck
is a redistribution of wealth. Taxes are the same thing. Anytime
money changes hands is a redistribution. The thing is the
Republicans are using their favorite weapon, “fear” to try and
keep folks in line by using outrageous claims that cant LEGALLY
be done.
A paycheck is NOT a redistribution of wealth. It is payment for services rendered. Taxes are a redistribution, because it takes part of payment for services rendered and shuttles it to someone or something that hasn’t done those services. And the next president, if he is a democrat, WILL be able to redistribute the wealth by raising taxes even more because he will have the backing of congress. There is nothing in te Constitution about taxes. There is about guns, therefore they can’t take them away.
Only if it’s the Keven Costner version. That movie is teh awesome. Alan Rickman in tight pants… *sigh*
*blinks* Ooooh ya, that’s right. He was in tight pants.
How about the candidates as the Little Rascals ?
this reminds me of some people i know
EPIC neutral?
More Obama than McCain, I think.
After all, when asked whether they’d choose Supreme Justices based on their ideology, McCain said that he wouldn’t and would choose them based on merit, whereas Obama went into a long winded tirade about abortion, completely ignoring the question.
Still, I think McCain did it too a few times. :-/
The only problem with that is McCain said he wouldn’t apply a litmus test and then went on to completely contradict himself by saying he wouldn’t choose anyone that believed in Roe v Wade. Doesn’t that qualify as a litmus test right there?
LOL.
True.
Kind of like tribal council on Survivor.
haha…so true..one of the reasons why i hate it..
