Obama's signing up new Obama kids, for one.

The last two threads depress me.
Gloom, despair, and agony on me, deep dark depression, etc.

Most of it isn't the actual news, it's the reaction to the news.

On the upside, it's going to snow here in beautiful downtown Colorado.

I'm so proud of all the Lizards who are standing by McCain when the going gets a teeny bit bumpy.

Obama is now up by 108 in battle ground States. Meanwhile soup lines have turned riotous when Wall Street foodies discovered that arugula would no longer be served as a side.

"Ex"? [Jonah Goldberg]

AP headline: "McCain TV ad raises Obama's links to ex-radical."

Again, reasonable people can disagree on how to define "radical." But if you're going to say that Ayers is merely an ex-radical, even though he apparently hasn't changed his basic views or apologized for his violent past, I'm a loss how you can ever use "radical right" about people who were never violent at all — and who far less radical than Ayers is today. I mean pretty much every liberal in America refers to Gingrich-style Republicans as "radicals." If they're radicals, what the hell is Ayers?

*sigh*

I have been trying to register here for a couple of years and finally made it. So I wanted to say thanks for providing a place to unload. I don't scream at the TV hardly at all anymore.

re: #24 noshariaincanada

I think it was RealWest who was making silly typos a day or two ago.
I posted a reply to one and included "Go back to sleep".
He took immediate offense, and then calmed down quickly, and I think he went to bed at that point.

Four or five posts later, I did about the same thing he was doing -- PIMF was no help at all.
So, I knew.

And the raven, never flitting, still is sitting, still is sitting
On the pallid bust of Pallas just above my chamber door;

And the lamp-light o'er him streaming throws his shadow on the floor;
And my soul from out that shadow that lies floating on the floor
Just a test, nothing more.

re: #24 noshariaincanada

*yawn*

Here's the election in a nutshell...

Obama...a smart man, but not a good man, maybe even a bad man

McCain...a good man, but not a smart man
.
.
Now, who will cause this country less pain, and why.

Am I the only one who thinks pinning hopes on the Bradley effect is a load of shit? I've been following free rep and drudge and every point increase in Obama's polling leads to the Bradley effect being increased a point in the comments.

When it was Obama by 3 - Bradley effect 4. Obama by 4, 5. Obama by 5 -- Bradley Effect is six.

Sorry. But 6% would be 7.2 million people. And as for the PUMAs - I've been following Hillaryis44.org religiously but that is bullshit. I live in Arizona - Air-ee-zone-ah. Conservative bastion that is filled with anti-African American sentiment as well as a slight disgust for immigrants. And Clintonians are supporting Obama.

I'm for throwing polls that are close out. But Gallup's only been wrong twice - and those races were close. And aggregate polling on RCP shows that Bush was ahead in 93 out of the last 100 polls conducted. We need to wake up and stop putting false hope in stupid shit like white guilt.

These posts slamming polls are reading like the kostard movement in the final weeks of the 2004 campaign. Polls can be wrong. But If 100 polls come out showing the same trend, let's man-up and stop giving people the false impression that we'll be fine. Putting campaign signs in your lawn, posting on this blog about confident and that other stuff will *not* change the reality of this sitch. What will is phonebanking. Canvassing. And delivering calm, composed reasoning to persuadables and so-called undecideds that taxing small business will destroy this economy, that we can't afford Medicare and Medicaid as it bloody fucking stands let alone a bloated, federal run health care program - that though this is a recession, we will recover because we always recover.

Or we can do the same shit the Kostards did. We can say November 5th will show us the truth. That we'll be alright on November 5th. And then have our spirits utterly fucking crushed by the reality we ignored.

Work like your 10 points down, 20 points down and if you don't pull your weight, we will lose. If you work like the Bradley effect will save our ass, YOU ARE CONTRIBUTING TO AN MSM MYTH THAT HAS LITTLE BASIS IN REALITY. OBAMA WON IN STATES WITH WHITES - HE IS POLLING WELL IN WEST VIRGINIA for fuck's sakes. THE BRADLEY EFFECT IS BULLSHIT.

I repeat. BULLSHIT.

One of my best friends is a guy from Tajikistan (Dushanbe, to be precise).
When he emigrated to this country, they stripped him of his citizenship.
He's had the opportunity to go back and visit twice, and turned down both opportunities.

As far as I know.

U.N. long known as a sub-prime Org. has tonight failed to raise enough capital to pay the outstanding parking tickets to the City of New York, the resulting default has caused the State of New York to call on a line of credit at the Bank of New York, rumors of this were leaked by the New York Times and a run on the bank resulted in the bank not being able to fund the State thus the City failed, and now the U.N is at last a total failure.
