Friday Night Politics Overdose Thread

Fri, Aug 29, 2008 at 5:53:24 pm PDT

In the past seven days, we’ve logged 40,716 comments, with 845,108 page views.

The MySQL server reports 100% key efficiency, with 201.4M queries over the last 8 days, 84.7% of which were served by the query cache.

And we’re rapidly approaching 6 million total comments.

And all the boxes have rounded corners now.

And registration is open for a short time. I must be an unhinged lunatic.

UPDATE at 8/29/08 6:26:19 pm:

79 Kosh's Shadow  Fri, Aug 29, 2008 6:14:23pm

Obama's speech last night really inspired me

to give more money to McCain's campaign.

Obama promised the known world, and lower taxes for 95% of the working families.
Of course, they'll be spending through the nose because the companies he'll tax will pass that on to the consumer, and what with the extra taxes for health care, the economy will nosedive.

Plus, it reminded me about how much a Sith Lord Obama really is; he was angry. I'm sure he has issues with his parents; let him see a psychiatrist instead of taking them out on everyone else.

He talked about change, but it is a code for revolution.

Anyone who buys his spiel, well, I have a bridge to sell them. Or I can put them in touch with some people in Nigeria who need help getting some money out of the country.

I really don't think that many Americans are that dumb.
I think he jumped the shark, and fell in the tank, but he doesn't know it yet. Soon the shark teeth of declining polls might give him a hint. Or maybe he won't get it and wonder why he lost.

137 LemonJoose  Fri, Aug 29, 2008 6:25:35pm

One of my favorite things about Palin is that she has said that she's not ready to conclude that global climate change is human-caused. Many reputable scientists have pointed out the fact that the climate change models used by global warming advocates have not factored in the effects of cycles in sunspot activity, which have a much more dramatic impact on global temperatures than carbon dioxide in the atmosphere. In fact, over the last few years, global temperatures have been cooling as sunspot activity decreased, and based on cycles in solar activity, some scientists now predict that we may be entering an extended period (70-80 years) of declining global temperatures which could potentially be a "mini ice age."

Unfortunately McCain and the Republican party recently gave in to the global warming movement and adopted positions which state that increases in carbon in the atmosphere due to human activities causes atmospheric warming. I'm not sure how the campaign will handle this, since the Dems will certainly pounce on it.

Hockey moms bring cups to the rink just in case their kid gets some teeth knocked out and are more likely to drive an SUV or pick up truck and make sure to explain to their kid that in Ice Hockey, like life, there are winners and losers.

At lunch today I tuned in to PeeNN (it was still on that channel after watching the Ascension last night) and there was some idiot calling in to whatever talking head show was on. This idiot was blabbing about how "The NRA was going to completely implode" because now "common sense" was on the table and people who say "we should be allowed to own a TANK!" were going to be marginalized... Something along those lines...

Being a gun owner myself, I know by now that when I hear the words "common sense" used in the context of gun control it's almost certainly coming from some whiny leftist who really just wants to call gun owners crazy. I said some unkind words at the TV. A few minutes later they revealed that Guy On Phone was Glenn Beck.

I was surprised and disappointed. I normally like him (in the few clips I've seen of him). I know you can't agree with a person all of the time, but I was surprised to hear him talking like an East Coast Dem.

Hockey in Minnesota has been wrecked by the building of all these indoor rinks. It builds character to have to get up and go to a outdoor game when it's 10 deg below zero. Plus have to shovel the rink before playing you actually have to love the game.

True. But outdoor ice usually sucks and unless you buy the $500 skates you lose the feeling in your toes rather rapidly.

I don't know, but two of the biggest moonbats at work are or were musicians.
Note, though, Charles is a musician, so this isn't a blanket statement.
One of the moonbats at work posts on Kos, and has been asking what to tell me to convince me to vote for Obama, based on my support for Israel.
(I figured out his Kos nic and have been watching what he posts)
I've considered getting a Kos account just to tell him it is hopeless, but since no one has answered him yet, maybe I won't need to. They probably want to tell him that I should be sent to the gas chambers, but don't want to say that publicly.

Obama in all likeliness, picked Biden to be his attack dog. Now that McCain has chosen a woman candidate, not only pleasing the block of alienated Hillary supporters, he has made it very difficult for Biden to attack her during debates or any other forum without looking like a bully. The more McCain does, the better I like him. I was not sure at first, but the man has simply sandbagged everyone. He fully knows what he is doing I guess in part to the five years of captivity he endured which no doubt gave him a lot of time to think. He is a smart, thoughtful candidate and he has my full attention and respect.

re: #183 Pawn of the Oppressor

At lunch today I tuned in to PeeNN (it was still on that channel after watching the Ascension last night) and there was some idiot calling in to whatever talking head show was on. This idiot was blabbing about how "The NRA was going to completely implode" because now "common sense" was on the table and people who say "we should be allowed to own a TANK!" were going to be marginalized... Something along those lines...

Being a gun owner myself, I know by now that when I hear the words "common sense" used in the context of gun control it's almost certainly coming from some whiny leftist who really just wants to call gun owners crazy. I said some unkind words at the TV. A few minutes later they revealed that Guy On Phone was Glenn Beck.

I was surprised and disappointed. I normally like him (in the few clips I've seen of him). I know you can't agree with a person all of the time, but I was surprised to hear him talking like an East Coast Dem.

I don't know about this... Glenn Beck is a gun owner, strong second amendment supporter, and in fact was the keynote speaker at the big NRA convention a few months ago. He often says "... from my cold, dead fingers" when talking about gun rights... and he isn't kidding.

re: #301 bellamags

Obama in all likeliness, picked Biden to be his attack dog. Now that McCain has chosen a woman candidate, not only pleasing the block of alienated Hillary supporters, he has made it very difficult for Biden to attack her during debates or any other forum without looking like a bully. The more McCain does, the better I like him. I was not sure at first, but the man has simply sandbagged everyone. He fully knows what he is doing I guess in part to the five years of captivity he endured which no doubt gave him a lot of time to think. He is a smart, thoughtful candidate and he has my full attention and respect.

He is a sly old dog.

re: #269 cliffster

Why is it that people that play for a living usually are lefties?

The same reason that actors and artists of various stripes are predominantly lefties: EMOTION. Leftism is an ideology directed by emotional reaction to life situations; artists are (predominantly) individuals who are motivated by manipulating emotions in others and rely on their own emotional content to create that manipulation.

That's a brief summary of a much deeper and more elaborate thesis, but you get the idea.

re: #128 pingjockey

Mwahahaha! Gov. Palin isn't experienced. Ha. Being ouv for 2 years is more executive work than obambi or plugs has ever had.

My best bud, the E-5, had a good one on that when he heard the announcement (in between bouts of Obama-worship on the local news here in Central OH);

"If Biden tries to say she has no foreign policy experience, she can point out that Alaska has no common border with any other U.S. state, but does border Canada. Not to mention that at Little Diomede in the Bering Strait, Russia is only 23 miles away, or about as far as it is from England to France across the narrowest part of the English Channel."

To which I responded, "Most of her non-local problems as Governor are definable as 'foreign policy', half of it with a country that, last time I looked, still didn't like us very much- and I don't mean Canada."

There's also the fact that while Joe 'n Barry have spent their careers schmoozing with the most corrupt elements of their own party, Governor Palin has been confronting such elements in her home state in both parties, and is noted for tearing them new a$$holes, regardless of affiliation. Such as killing Ted Stevens' vanity project, the "Bridge to Nowhere", Alaska's version of Teddy's "Big Dig" in Boston.

Also, the announcement was made here in Ohio, in the heartland, as opposed to Washington. The Obamatrons have supposedly given up on the Buckeye State, and are working on a "49-state strategy" to win without it. (Dream on, kids; there's a saying in Presidential politics, "As goes Ohio, so goes the nation.") The surrounding states (IN, KY, PA, MI) are considered "blue" right now, with OH still "red" in spite of its now-problematic (D) Governor, Ted Strickland (whose polls are slipping every day). When Senator McCain made the announcement here, I was instantly reminded of this;


In communicating ground, move on;
In encircled ground, devise stratagems;
In death ground, fight!

Sun-Tzu, The Art of War

Ohio could be considered "encircled ground" in this respect. And Senator McCain certainly executed a well-thought-out stratagem.

IMHO, this is one more example of the "OODA Loop" in McCain's campaign- as in a dogfight at 15,000 feet, getting inside his opponent's decision loop and forcing him into reactive mode. As a result, the mistakes are already being made on the other side. (AP's remarks about her youngest son being a case in point.)

Obama went into this like the hustler he is- figuring that he could dazzle his way into the White House, by overwhelming his "tired, old" opponent with fast talk, and bluffing like somebody in a high-stakes poker game.

The trouble is, he's up against a chessmaster. Who is refusing to let him choose the game, the playing field, or the rules.

Win or lose, this should be something to see.

cheers

414 nikis-knight  Fri, Aug 29, 2008 7:11:49pm

Anyone who says Palin has less or as little experience as Obama, just reply that Governors can't vote present. One term as governor forces one to take a lot more stands than Obama took in the state and federal legislatures where so often he merely clocked in, refusing to go on the record--or perhaps simply lacking that judgement that he touts as his sould qualification.

God, that would be a great John McCain line. "Senator Obama, if your judgement is so great, why were you so rarely able to vote anything other than present?"

Here's something I found very interesting...... Palin interviewed at her home a year ago it was because Rudy Giuliani was said to have approached her about being his VP.

Excerpt:
Our interview, for an article in Monocle, took place less than one year ago and there was talk that Rudy Giuliani, then considered a sure thing for the Republican Party's presidential nomination, had approached her about being his running mate. [Link: www.independent.co.uk...]

422 Shay4l  Fri, Aug 29, 2008 7:12:49pm

At work there is a man who is a new citizen from Nigeria, who is a very traditional man. He has been hounded by the African-Americans in our office because he announced he will be voting for McCain. They are doing everything but calling him an Uncle Tom. I have been telling him for 2 weeks not to let them bully him, in America we have a secret ballot, and nobody can tell him how he has to vote.

When Palin was announced he was very crestfallen that there would be a woman on the ticket.

Since I knew of his history, and that he had lived in Germany and the UK before becoming a citizen, I asked him what he thought about Maggie Thatcher. He brightened up, and said she was a very great leader. I could tell that I planted the seed in his mind that having a woman in high office was not a horrible thing.

The more I think about this veep selection, the more brilliant I think it is.

1. She makes John look good. Think, if you will, on how many television news programs have an older man and younger woman working the anchor desk: That's no accident. They've studied the demographics to death, and people like that combination.

2. The Obama camps biggest criticism will be that Palin has little experience. The problem is that she's got darned near as much as Obama himself. So McCain's tidy retort should be: "She has excellent credentials to serve as Vice President, and so, Mr. Obama, do you."

3. She undercuts the historic nature of Obama's campaign. A lot of undecided people might fall Obama's direction just because they want to be a part of Something Big. And now they have another option.

4. McCain has, quite smartly, made a move that will appeal to Hillary Clinton's devotees. Obama slammed a woman on his way to the top. McCain, though, has chosen one as his political partner.

All good.

Jose Quervo is a good friend of mine.

Saw my brother today. We talked about the Palin pick. He lamented that he thought she was better than the guy at the top of the ticket.

We talked a bit and agreed that Sarah Palin makes the two Dems look like wussies in contrast.
