A clown is funny in the circus ring, but what would be the normal reaction to opening a door at midnight and finding the same clown standing there in the moonlight?

A clown running for president of the United States is kind of scary too.

Grassroots “Kids for Obama Parade” (Organizing)
On Sunday, October 12, Washington State kids and families will parade around Seattle’s Green Lake. “Kids for Obama Parade” will illustrate one of Barack Obama’s core beliefs: Everyone’s voice counts. Join us as Obama’s youngest supporters rally their families and call for change, for a better America. At 2 pm, rain or shine, children and teens will express with words and drawings their hopes for the future of America on “wish flags” that will be mailed to Obama. The first 300 kids will be given a helium balloon, an expression of solidarity. At 3 pm, the “Kids for Obama Parade” will skip, toddle, stroller, rollerblade, pedal, and red-wagon clockwise around Green Lake in a cloud of red, white, and blue balloons and a garland of kid-made wish flags. How to prepare? If possible, bring home-made signs and wear red, white, and/or blue clothing. That goes for moms, dads, big brothers and sisters, aunts and uncles, grandparents too. Please spread the word.
Time: Sunday, October 12 at 2:00 PM
Duration: 3 hours
Host: Erika Berg
Location:
Green Lake (Seattle, WA)
beside the Bathhouse Theater
7312 W. Greenlake Dr. N
Seattle, WA 98103
Seattle hosts an Obama Youth Parade (Malkin)
Yeah! Seattle! Brainwash those tots!

I intend to demonstrate and prove that the concept of "al-Taqiyya" is an integral part of Islam, and that it is NOT a Shi'ite concoction.

I guess there is nothing of interest to talk about. Unless we want to take the so called guilty verdict for Palin anything other than a political hatchet job. Well... because.. you know... that is much more important than Obama's relationships with ACORN, Ayers, Rezko, Wright . . . . . .

It looks like this may be a coulrophobia thread.
p.s. I'm not exactly a newly-hatched lizard, but rather, one that has shed old skin for new. Formerly known as wannabuyaduck, with a nod to Joe Penner, I had been thinking for awhile about how I would really like to put up a fox avatar, having always liked foxes with their looks and nature combining something of the dog and something of the cat (when I was a kid it would annoy me that the foxes were almost always the villains in stories and cartoons) -- and nowadays, most of my gainful employment involves qwerty work, so it seemed fitting enough. The question of brown fox or red fox was solved by the fact that though I am in one of the bluest of areas, I have more of a red-state state of mind. So here I am, same lizard but new skin -- not a sock, not a troll!

Nevertheless, I'm still able to smile tonight. I'll be able to pay my rent for next month, cover the bills for this month, and I'm going to a gathering of like-minded types tomorrow. Life is... well, let's just say it doesn't suck.

Dude. You should really seek the advise of a financial planner - you and the Mrs., bring the kids - all 17 of them.
A stock here or there might make you rich - or unbelievably f*cking poor.
Get your dollars allocated according to a risk/reward spectrum you're comfortable with, and f*cking leave it there. Update your goals annually. If your planner is reluctant to have an annual meeting, move your dough.

It is also "likely" that Obama was criminally involved with Tony Rezko...
It is also "likely" that Obama's paid surrogate Acorn is heavily involved in voter freud in several swing states...
It is also "likely" that Obama not only knew about Acorns voter freud efforts, but funded them...
It is also "likely" that Obama was sitting in his pew with his wife and children while Reverend Jeremiah Wright was spewing his "hate-whitey", "hate America" rhetoric...
It is also "likely" Nancy Pelosi awarded her husband's company several government contracts illegally...
It is also "likely" that Dianne Finestein awarded her husbands company several government contracts illegally...
It is also "likely" that Obama was working with known Saudi terrorist supporter Dr. Khalid al-Mansour...
It is also "likely" that Obama knowingly sent his Muslim outreach director to meet with Hamas and Hezbollah...

You sound like me on the last full time job I had. I couldn't wait to get laid off.
I was quality control of a software product. I would break it, write up how I broke it, then the programmers would fix some of the bugs, all the while selling the product like it was ready to roll.I knew the company was going down the tubes. I was right. Today, they are history.
Been there, done that. The second full-time IT job I had. Only, I didn't leave of my own volition.
Then again, the jerk who fired me was caught two months later in a monstrous lie, when he told his boss the department's assignment could be done in two weeks. The rank-and-file then told their boss's boss (on their own) that two weeks didn't have enough hours to get the work done... more like six weeks if everyone worked 24/7.
Jerk was gone very shortly after that.

Suspicious hijacked Iranian ship released. . .

Somali pirates release hijacked Iranian ship
TEHRAN (AFP) — Pirates released an Iranian ship that had been hijacked off the Somali coast in August, state news agency IRNA reported on Friday.
"The ship Dianat was released on Friday morning after seven weeks of ... negotiations with Somali pirates," the state-owned Islamic Republic of Iran Shipping Lines said in statement carried by the agency.
"All 29 members of the crew are safe and sound and the ship is sailing towards international waters," it said.
The report did not say whether ransom was paid. [YA THINK?]
The merchant vessel was headed from China to the Netherlands carrying minerals and industrial products when it was hijacked on August 21 along with a German and a Japanese ship off the Gulf of Aden.
The waters off Somalia and Nigeria are the most pirate-infested in the world.

No, when 4chan rigged the Mets' voting for new theme song, that was the ultimate Rickroll!

Can someone explain to me what the Walter Annenberg foundation is doing giving William Ayers and Bernadine Dohrn 100 million dollars?
Are they COMPLETELY INSANE
My God, what has happened to this world when a foundation of a close personal friend and supporter of Ronald Reagan give a $100 Million grant to two unrepentant domestic terrorists?
Only in the land of Kos could this make any sense (and Chicago of course)...
Look at how the Ford foundation and also how the Heinz money is being spent. Not likely how the people that built that wealth would want it spent. The explanation is when you are dead your useless progeny will f up your wishes.

Outstanding entertainment. Highly recommended for kids and adults.
And their clowns were wonderful.

That does explain how he was able to convey so much with only gestures and expressions.
True. He was the world's greatest pantomimist, which is what silent-movie actors are. He would have made the transition to talkies quite nicely, too, but he died shortly after they became the norm. In fact, he was originally cast as Dracula in the original. That would have been cool, though I don't think Bela Lugosi ever would have been discovered.

Having seen the dirty side of financing, my opinion of a lot of what takes place is not very positive. What do you consider safe options? Tonight, I'm grappling with the question of inflation. Specifically, where should we park out wealth for the upcoming inflation - especially if Obama is elected?

Agreed. I think a lot of the crap that arose in the 60's was the result of parents of the greatest generation trying to make it easier on their kids, with the unintended consequence of spoiling the shit out of them. And we're paying the price since and especially now. Not all of us were spoiled. We need to man the ramparts. Eternal vigilance and all that.........

What Bill Clinton said recently about Barney Frank, Dems, and Fannie Mae:
Three years later, President Clinton’s Department of Housing and Urban Development tried to impose a new regulation on Fannie, but was thwarted by Frank. Clinton now blames such Democrats for planting the seeds of today’s economic crisis.
"I think the responsibility that the Democrats have may rest more in resisting any efforts by Republicans in the Congress or by me when I was president, to put some standards and tighten up a little on Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac," Clinton said recently.

McCain has nothing to lose at this point by being aggressive. He needs to show the great middle why they should move to him.
Whenever a candidate is moving to the middle, he is giving ground.

I truly believe that a lot of people are going to get into that voting booth, linger, and then vote for McCain. You don't vote for an untested person in times like these. It may go down to the wire, but I still believe McCain's got a good chance--he's been in politics so long that all the dirt on him is already known, while there's still time to make the country aware of the hard-core liberal Obama is.

But, the report also said she did nothing illegal and the firing was completely within her power as Governor...What the hell does that mean?
The insanity continues...
It means they can report whatever the hell they want and there's not shit we can do about it. Of course we see the manipulation but the undecided, unengaged ones among us - the ones that ultimately decide the election, the ones who are swayed by the last thing they see on TV before they head out the door to vote - they do get influenced by this.....sheesh.

Harry Potter could be a classmate, playing on their Quidditch team. Read through Book 4 every day on the way to school, suddenly lost interest starting with Book 5.
Since they were in diapers, karaoke machines have been annoying people at parties.
They have always been looking for Carmen Sandiego. I was the only one I know in my school who ever caught her. BOOYAH!
GPS satellite navigation systems have always been available.
Coke and Pepsi have always used recycled plastic bottles.
Shampoo and conditioner have always been available in the same bottle.
Gas stations have never fixed flats, but most serve cappuccino.
Their parents may have dropped them in shock when they heard George Bush announce “tax revenue increases.” 1987 was late Reagan, thankfully.
Girls in head scarves have always been part of the school fashion scene. Not really... but men in "peace scarves..." HRRRRRRRRGH.
Macaulay Culkin has always been Home Alone. Never got why he wasn't in 3.
Their parents may have watched The American Gladiators on TV the day they were born. I had the lunchbox. (:
The Green Bay Packers (almost) always had the same starting quarterback. The San Francisco 49ers were the shit back when I was a kid. Ah, glory days... ;_;

The ACORN stuff is not going away and it's possible that McCain might not need to do the heavy lifting. We'll have to see how much lifting the FBI might do. Regardless- the ACORN fraud is in the news, and all we have to do is put it in peoples' minds that ACORN is linked to 0bama.
I am hopeful about the ACORN business, because the PUMAs are really pissed. I always figured there would be hell to pay for crossing Hillary, and knew it was never a good idea to get between a Clinton and the White House.
McCain needs to sell himself. Tell America that American energy for American homes and cars will create jobs and improve our security and economy, and I really people people will move towards him. Tie 0bama to ACORN and people will move away from 0bama.
