Finally! An open thread!
I wonder how many of the people who have been poo-pooing the [alleged] level of hate and vitriol at the McCain rallies are gonna line up and shell out their money to see people slowly and horribly mutilated and tortured to death in Saw V ?

I see your all down here in the dead thread discussing strategies for winning moonbats over to McCain so here's how I switched my two local nutcases to our side. First, I patiently listened to their insane theories about how Bush brought down the World Trade Center or imprisoned millions of innocent at Gitmo or eavesdropped on everyone's phone conversations, nod approvingly, and say uh-huh.(trust me this is the hardest part of the plan. I threw up little in my mouth during this stage.) Next, tell them the only reason Bush got away with their favorite conspiracy is because the Republicans controlled both Congress and the White House. Then remind them that if Barack wins Democrats will control both the WH and Congress and Obama will be able to get away with the same stuff Bush got away with. Explain to them that both parties are equally corrupt and that the only way to stop the corruption is to have congress controlled by one party and the WH by the other. Finally, tell them that Barack will try to to pull [their favorite conspiracy theory here] since he'll have a Democratic congress to enable him.
I know it's stupid but it's how moonbats think and I've used this line of argument to convince 2 of them to vote McCain.

And in this group he will lose. Obama's GOTV campaign was their hope, and they've done well, but in the end, they will lose.
The established voters are middle age and older. The youth vote has always been touted as a "game changer" by the dems, but this group has always under performed.

Economics. They know that they are the beast of burden for the bail outs and all the aging boomers about to bust Social Security.
Some of the stats I saw (today...somewhere..it's midnight and the brain hurts) show that not that huge a margin of the youth vote favors BHO, and in the south and southwest, it leans to McCain.

We'll know in 11 days, eh? All you can do is what you can do, my friend.
Possibly the most disturbing conversations I have had lately are with my very conservative (R) friends whose opinions I respect. They say that they want Obama to be Pres. because they think they see some genuine icebergs ahead for the Ship of State, and they want him on the bridge when it hits, and not John M.
I dunno. But, then I already voted.

Well, he should be the underdog, by a wide margin, if you think that the average Amercian so hates ChimpyMcBushitler that there is no way in hell they are going to vote (R). Obama should be sailing away with this election. If you believe current polling data, seems pretty clsoe, so that is good for McCain.

re: #34 middlecon
Does anyone here disagree with the premise that Obama is indeed ahead in this election and McCain is the underdog?

I posted this a couple days ago and I believe it explains why the polls incorrectly explain why Obama seems ahead
Much speculation has been made here about why the polls are incorrectly favoring Obama including zombie's excellent essay and many other's comments. I would just like to add $.02
The first question pollster's want answered is the party affiliation of the person being interviewed. They discover this either by looking at voter registration or directly asking during the phone call. This roughly breaks down 36% Democrat, 27% Republican, 24% independent, 13% other/undecided.
Next the pollster wants to know who the individual is planning voting for.
Finally, the statisticians weigh the responses based on how many respondents belong too each party. Example.
Out of the 100 Democrats 90 say they are voting for Obama and 10 for McCain so the pollster multiplies 90 by 36% (the percentage of Democrats the believe are in the country) and gets 3240 for Obama. Then they multiply 10 by 36% and get 360 for McCain.
They do the same for the Republicans. Out of 100 Republicans 90 are pro-McCain and 10 are for Obama. 90 times 27% (the estimated number of Republicans) of equals 2430 for McCain. 10 times 27% means 270 for Obama
For this example lets say the independents break evenly so it's 50 out of 100 votes for each. 50 times 24% is 1200 for each. Also assume the undecided remain undecided.
Then the polling company adds all the numbers for each candidate and divides by 100.
So for Obama 3240+270+1200=4710. 4710/100=47.1%.
For McCain 360+2430+1200=3990. 3990/100=39.9%
Voila 7.2% Obama lead. Normally this formula works pretty well, however there are at least three things wrong with it this election cycle. First is operation chaos wildly exaggerates the number of registered Democrats. Second, the PUMAs, they still consider themselves Democrats and they too inflate the (D) numbers and tilt the numbers toward the Democrat candidate, Obama, despite the fact that most of the 5 million of them would crawl over broken glass to vote against him. The final problem is with one of the assumptions I made to simplify the math, namely that undecided/independents would break evenly, so far this year the independents have broken decisively against Obama.

The question is which of the two candidates do you like better.....and neither is bush. Like I said, I know that people let this affect the way they think, but I just don't get it

1. Bush isn't running for re-election.
2. I'm beginning to question your motives (Not that you should care.)
Of course Bush isn't running for re-election but aren't people voting for Obama to go in a different direction?
I'm open minded and not a 'moby' I promise. Just trying to get some interesting conversation going.

Much has been written about the unreliability of the polls. As they are, the race is very close.
I think McCain will win, because the disaffected PUMA/working class/Catholic Democrats voting for McCain will outweigh the new/youth/ACORN fraud vote for Obummer. Plus, Palin has rallied the GOP base big time.

Seriously?
I voted for Bush twice and I like the guy, but I only have one vote, and I'm in a fairly red state, although its being contested this year.
I consider myself optimistic but a realist also and I don't rule out that McCain can win, I just think its a VERY hard task.

See, you're falling into a trap. You're thinking logically, and you're projecting that logic onto all your fellow citizens / voters. I think that is a mistake. A lot of people who vote, do not think, or at least do not think rationally.
Anecdotal evidence warning:
I personally know people, who live their lives under "conservative values," but they don't know, or realize it. Yet, they vote Democrat. It's like a programmed response, Pavlov, etc.
I don't understand it, either, nor can I explain it, either. But, it is observable, so I do not deny it exists.

Had a rather interesting discussion last week at a bar in Zurich. It was completely empty (yeah a little early in the day but what can you do) except for two bar tenders. One was a gentleman from Bosnia and the other was a woman from Jerusalem.
Out of nowhere the very nice man asks my friend and I who we are going to vote for in the election. Not taking that bait my friend answered the question by asking what his thoughts on the election were. He went off on Bush and McCain and said that Obama was the one. The woman then said that she actually didn't think the Bush presidency was that bad and he looked at her like she had three heads. She said she didn't trust Obama to protect Israel and that therefor McCain was her man. He politely mumbled to himself because he just could not believe what he was hearing from his coworker.
The two of us politely ordered another round and left it at that. Wasn't expecting that when all we were doing was trying to get our drink on at 5 in the afternoon.

Pardon me for a moment....
Keeping with your business news, I have some delicious business news I'm enjoying myself, and that I'd like to share.
In 1997, Michael Dell was asked what he would do if he were the CEO of Apple Computers (keep in mind that Apple and its stock were doing poorly at that point, and the first iMac was still about a year away). His response was, "I’d shut it down and give the money back to the shareholders."
So, where are Apple and Dell 11 years later at the end of FY2008?
Apple's total cash on hand: $24,490,000,000 ($24.49 billion)
Dell's total market capitalization (that is, the total value of Dell's stock) at closing on 10/23/08: $23,500,000,000 ($23.5 billion)
In short, Apple is now at a point where it could buy all of Dell's stock with just the cash it has on hand!

I'm not bashing President Bush, I am a Bush supporter, seriously, I know most of you think of me as a 'moby', but its not true.
I just think the rest of the country more than bashes President Bush, they just flat out don't like the guy, and I can't see how its somehow irrelevant to the 2008 election.
Personally I think the election rides on the battleground states. Pennsyvlania, Ohio, Florida, Virginia, same ones as 2004 if McCain can pull out most of those he wins :)

Its going to be hilarious to see the faces of the left if McCain does pull it out, some of them may never come out of hiding. Of course Alec Baldwin was supposed to leave the country a long time ago...we're still waiting lol

Lizards- I just want to share with you that GOP organizations in various ACORN infested states ARE taking this issue very seriously and are actively engaged in confronting the problem.
I've been called to duty to participate in such an effort, and my time here will be scarce. But if we are successful, ACORN will have a big headache come election day and in the fallout.
You can help too. Contact your local GOP offices and see what help they need. All GOP offices will need help with the GOTV (Get Out The Vote) effort. Even a few hours can make a big difference.

This credit card thing is really getting me steamed. One thought I had a few days ago (I only have one or two a week, so I must ration them...) was that all that $150 million in September was on line, meaning credit cards, and a certain percentage of that money will be contested or defaulted upon. Didn't occur to me that they would find a way to break the election laws via credit card donations, but it sure looks like they have. Also explains why they don't post all of their donors on line, whereas McCain does. Too bad the Obama campaign doesn't post them - some of the fake names that people have been using to test the system would look great on an Obama donor list!

BBC Finds Uniontown on the freakin' map
"I'm not voting for Obama, he's black."
Charles is a registered Democrat in Uniontown, Pennsylvania.
"If it wasn't for Obama I would vote Democrat. Blacks just cause trouble, that's the taste I've got in my mouth."
Race is the question mark hanging over this election.
Barack Obama is ahead in the polls. There's a widespread feeling now that the election is his to lose.
But there is something that is worrying Democrats. How accurate are the polls? How many voters are saying they will vote for Mr Obama because they do not want to be perceived as racist?
Once they enter the polling booth will it be an entirely different story?
Yep, it's those redneck, racist, rural 'merikuns again!

Asian markets tanked. Nikkei down 9.6%
FTSE in freefall as figures reveal UK economy has shrunk by 0.5% - the first drop for 16 years
Britain is officially on the brink of recession after new figures revealed the economy has shrunk for the first time in 16 years.
Output dropped by 0.5 per cent between July and September in its biggest decline since the end of 1990 when the country was emerging from the last downturn.
The scale of the slowdown astonished economists who had predicted a reduction of less than half that at 0.2 per cent.
It means the UK is almost certain to be in a technical recession, classed as two quarters of negative growth, by the end of the year.
Shares plunged again after the data was released, having already shed more than five per cent in early trading amid warnings the downturn could be the worst for 50 years.
The FTSE-100 dropped to be almost nine per cent down. The pound also fell

Ok, I got the started reading the papers and came back to tell you that there is a place in Hell reserved for Kathleen Parker.
My husband called it first. Then, a brilliant 75-year-old scholar and raconteur confessed to me over wine: "I'm sexually attracted to her. I don't care that she knows nothing."
Finally, writer Robert Draper closed the file on the Sarah Palin mystery with a devastating article in this Sunday's New York Times Magazine: "The Making (and Remaking) of McCain."
McCain didn't know her. He didn't vet her. His campaign team had barely an impression. In a bar one night, Draper asked one of McCain's senior advisers: "Leaving aside her actual experience, do you know how informed Governor Palin is about the issues of the day?"
The adviser thought a moment and replied: "No, I don't know."
Blame the sycamore tree
McCain had met Palin only once -- in February, at the governors' convention in Washington -- before the day he selected her as his running mate. The second time was at his Sedona, Ariz., ranch on Aug. 28, just four days before the GOP convention.
As Draper tells it, McCain took Palin to his favorite coffee-drinking spot down by a creek and a sycamore tree. They talked for more than an hour, and, as Napoleon whispered to Josephine, "Voilà."
One does not have to be a psychoanalyst to reckon that McCain was smitten

He laid out the town about the year 1818, and, as the famous beech tree, used as a lynching post, where early offenders were punished, stood over the spring near his house, he very appropriately named the town Lynchburg.

re: #345 wahabicorridor
One does not have to be a psychoanalyst to reckon that McCain was smitten
Yup. Two years ago at a Jewish fundraiser in Anchorage, I shook hands with Sarah and we had a little chat for all of two minutes.
It wasn't sexual but I was shamelessly smitten, and my wife -- normally somewhat of the jealous type -- wasn't even jealous. She saw it too.
I'm not the least jealous of Todd Palin either. Sarah is the genuine article, kinda like a female rendition of Robert Redford back when he was in his prime. Made me want to put on some armor, pick up a suitable sword, and stand on guard by her door, wherever it takes me.
She does that to ya, and I'm convinced that's what drives Obama up the wall: Sarah Palin is a genuine, sincere, inspiring, interested, somebody-really-there person with nothing to hide, and represents almost everything Obama wants to be but can't, because his whole life seems to be based on endlessly getting away with, or hiding, something. That's what he lives and breathes.
This has nothing to do with rascism, either. It's just that Barack Obama is always wearing a phony used-car-salesman 'Oil-Can Harry' charade that literally makes my skin crawl, somewhat the opposite of a creepy Chris Mathews 'feeling up my leg'.
I'd vote for Denzel Washington to be POTUS in a heartbeat, assuming he didn''t turn out to be a socialist-liberal phony. --Or Dennis Haysbert, who played an excellent President Palmer in "24" and Jonas in "The Unit".
Did you see the movie "Shallow Hal"? That's what I'm talking about. Crack Obama's dainty outer shell, and what I see underneath really gives me the creeps! Sarah, however, is genuine what-you-see-is-what-you-get. All the difference in the world.
Which would you rather have piloting your airplane in rough weather, Barack Obama, or Sarah Palin? Barack would be lost without a teleprompter in the cockpit.
Funny how this conversation keeps lumping Obama and Palin together as opponents, almost like McCain and Biden don't exist. I've seen this phenomenon happen dozens of times, almost automatically. Strange.
A few weeks ago Todd Palin commented to an interviewer (paraphrasing), "You know, 16 years ago when Sarah said she was going to run for the local PTA, maybe I should have asked a few more questions..."

U.S. stock futures blasted after Asia plunge
LONDON (MarketWatch) - U.S. stock futures pointed to another monumental beating on Friday - with a leading contract falling as much as rules allow -- as a plunge in Asia reignited concerns about the health of the global economy.
S&P 500 futures dropped 60 points to 855.20 and Nasdaq 100 futures fell 82.5 points to 1,171.00. Dow industrial futures were walloped by 546 points.
The drop on the S&P 500 contract was so much that it reached pre-specified limits that can't be broken until pit trading opens. The Nasdaq and Dow contracts were trading just above their limits.

re: #402 NC State of Mind

Oh, that is probably part of it.
It's a combination of a whole bunch of things, the silly loans that were given out, the insurance sold where the insurance company reserved only about 3 cents on the dollar of exposure, the crash of the China/India market, the run up of interest rates by the Fed several years ago that knocked all the adjustible rate mortgages out of affordability, the high oil prices, bad monetary policy by the EU catching up to them, etc.
You also have a flat out panic going on by some investors.
One of the side effects of all this will be to make retirement a lot rarer. People reaching retirement age will likely continue working longer cause they either lost a lot of their retirement income, or are supporting others in the family who are unemployed, or they are afraid to retire and drop their income in such troubled times.
That is going to cause a lot of complications in many corporations as younger workers will be looking to move up, but the older workers above them in the corporate structure hang around.

If you have a moment, can you explain why you think gold is dropping so quickly?
Sure.
1. Liquidations by large hedge funds unwinding their positions.
2. The rising value of the dollar buys more of products such as oil and gold that are denominated in dollars. A dollar buys more gold so the price per ounce drops.
The dollar is appreciating cause billions and billions of wealth are being transferred from other currencies into dollars by overseas investors. That makes the dollar worth more and other currencies worth less.

European markets tumble as deep recession looms
LONDON (MarketWatch) -- European shares tumbled Friday as fears of a long and deep recession grew, with the auto sector slumping after profit warnings from Renault and Peugeot-Citroen as well as weak results from Swedish truck maker Volvo.
The pan-European Dow Jones Stoxx 600 index dropped below 200 for the first time since mid 2003, slumping 7.4% or 15.44 points, to 193.32.
We're suffering from death by a thousand cuts. The fear element has grown to extreme levels," said Philip Lawlor, chief portfolio strategist at Nomura in London.
Among regional markets, the U.K. FTSE 100 index lost 6.9% at 3,805.78 after preliminary data showed the British economy shrank 0.5% in the third quarter. It was the first quarterly contraction in GDP since 1982 and was a sharper slowdown than economists had expected.

The other example Klein said that Obama cited was Obama's decision to "support" General Petraeus.
It is very obvious that not only will Obama throw anyone under the bus and say or do anything to get elected, but now we know that these techniques will be his executive modus operandi even after he is *spit* elected.

OPEC is looking to cut production.
OPEC to cut production by 1.5 million barrels a day
LONDON (MarketWatch) -- The Organization of Petroleum Exporting Countries on Friday said it was slashing 1.5 million barrels of oil a day in production as the world's financial crisis dampened demand for energy.
"This slowdown in oil demand is serving to exacerbate the situation in a market which has been over-supplied with crude for some time, an observation which the Organization has been making since earlier this year. Moreover, forecasts indicate that the fall in demand will deepen, despite the approach of winter in the northern hemisphere," the oil cartel said.
It also noted that "oil prices have witnessed a dramatic collapse -- unprecedented in speed and magnitude -- these falling to levels which may put at jeopardy many existing oil projects and lead to the cancellation or delay of others, possibly resulting in a medium-term supply shortage."
The cartel said it was going to cut its production ceiling of 28.8 million barrels a day by 1.5 million barrels, effective Nov. 1.
1. I think demand will drop so much that this won't matter a whole lot. China and India demand has plummeted.
2. OPEC has long been notorious for setting production limits and then unable to enforce them as members openly overproduce.

The toxic paper is being flushed out of the financial system, and assets are being revalued downward accordingly. That's the way the market works. When the detoxification has been completed, the market will recover.
Another way to think about it: people who are worried about what their financial assets are worth are converting them to cash by selling them. If everything is converted to cash, the market will plummet, with cash in people's hands to reinvest when the smoke clears. Will there be an overreaction, and even panic? Of course. Will there be a recovery? Yes, unless the government nationalizes the economy.

Yep that about covers it. And I think the recovery will be pretty strong, when it finally happens. This is what the market analysts call "capitulation", when all the investors who are faint of heart throw in the towel and cash out. That has to happen before the rebound can happen.
But it's going to be ugly never the less.

Time for crocodile tears, lizards! From the wonderful, wonderful world of the NYT:
The Republican drive to publicize Acorn’s problems has had another less visible impact on the race, shifting the focus of election lawyers in the homestretch to the Nov. 4 election. Much of the Democratic team of lawyers and operatives who had intended to work on monitoring voter rights at the polls has instead played defense the last two weeks, responding to accusations of fraud.
The Obama campaign has also sought to deflect Republican efforts to tie Acorn’s registration campaign to the Democratic presidential nominee, Senator Barack Obama of Illinois. The Republicans highlighted a federal election filing by the Obama campaign that showed an $832,598 payment last February to an Acorn affiliate, Citizens Services Inc., for “staging, sound, lighting.” The Republicans suggested that the payment was actually for voter registration. But the Obama campaign said it had mislabeled the payment, and it filed an amended report that reflects the money was for get-out-the-vote efforts.

I was part of those people who used to think it was A-OK with cheap (illegal) labor - cheap plentiful housing. Hell I even worked with an illegal crew. I was the skilled labor because I spoke English and tell the trucks where to go and drop materials off.
9/11 changed my thinking because the porous borders were a threat.

I'm doing great, other than being just totally disgusted at the news that does NOT get reported in the MSM.
It's awful, just awful, that these people believe they are so immune from scrutiny that they openly do these things, without any real fear that they will suffer any consequences because so few people will know about it.

heh- there are any number of Obama-Biden conversations I would love to have heard. I don't understand why they have to have these conversations after the fact. They do not seem to communicate with each other at all except after these things happen. Seems it would be better to communicate with each other on the front end. In other words, Obama's campaign seems to be a mass of confusion. An indication, perhaps, of the confusion we can expect from an Obama administration.

You bring up an interesting point that I hadn't thought of before. Obama does seem to be a loner of sorts. Doesn't really have a group of fellow dems that have been part of his "pals". Maybe cause he hasn't been there long enough, but surmise it's because they really resent his rapid rise in the party ...didn't pay his dues the way they have had to. Also, his mentors are not the usual names in the political arena. They are suspects of a very dark underbelly of our society.

Coffee? Look at this story......
Three cups of coffee a day makes breasts shrink!
DRINKING just three cups of coffee a day can make women's breasts shrink, researchers say.
Nearly 300 women were surveyed about their bust measurements and how many cups of coffee they drank in an average day.According to the Swedish researchers, three cups a day was enough to start making breasts shrink, with the effects increasing for every cup drunk.
Goodness, this only affects women?
Perhaps some blokes out there want to get rid of their manboobs!

The more I Hear about this the more I think this might be our October surprise
This is Cashill on the Michael Medved show. It is fascinating and entertaining. Listen to all of it. Link two includes a caller that is near hysterical about Cashill's charge.
I know Medved is a believer in Intelligent Design..... but he couldn't be accused of being a nutter.
Somewhere in there, I think it is on the 2nd link, Jack Cashill says that
the question isn't why was Barack Obama hanging around with Bill Ayers but why Bill Ayers was hanging around Barack Obama. Which is interesting because that is precisely what Sarah Palin said in the Sean Hannity interview aired last evening. I think Sarah and the campaign are paying close attention to this story.

‘I made a mistake,’ admits Greenspan
Greenspan says his mistake was presuming that banks would behave responsibly toward their shareholders, but buried in the last paragraph, he admits to what really moved him:
Mr Greenspan said that when, as Fed chairman, he declined to advocate regulating credit default swaps – derivatives that have been blamed for worsening the crisis – he had been following the will of Congress.

In psychological terms its called projection. The basic human assumption is to assume that everyone else is just like you, motivated by the exact same desires and fears as yourself.
That would be "associative reality" Dorian

Don't be surprised folks if you see another 500 to 700 point drop in the DOW today.
Overall, I think the DOW will lose about another 1000 points before it bottoms out around 7700.
It's at 8691 now.

The retirees whose financial advisers put them into toxic paper or its derivatives are the ones hurt the worst. Those who invested conservatively will see their investments drop in the short term, and then recover.
The overall price level is likely to be lower after the recovery unless the idiots in the Democrat Party and at the Federal Reserve try to jump start everything by inflating. That's the long-term danger here. First we get hit with deflation in the price of commodities, and then by inflation brought on by reckless monetary policies aimed at a "fix".
Oh, and that idiot Greenspan should be burned in effigy.

Depends on how soon you think you will need the dough.
Any money that you think you will need in less than 5 years do not expose to the risk of the stock market. Put it in fixed income/insured CD's.
Any money you can lock up for 5 years or more, it's no sweat. We will rebound from this late next year.
I for example have my portfolio set up so that money I think I will need in the next 5 years is all in fixed income/insured CD's. The rest of it I have in equities, so while it's not fun to watch the market crash, I personally am not worried.

Without the bail out you would have had a total melt down and another Great Depression.
With the bail out, we will have a strong recession.
Congress screwed around too long getting all this done. That is why I was so upset when they were playing games a few weeks ago. I know some folks thought I was overreacting, but now you are seeing why I was so worried. There was hundreds of billions of dollars a day in damage being done to the economy while they played their games.

Obama is sure he's going to win. He must be sure of the number of fraudulent voters.
Media analyst Bob Knight is questioning the Obama campaign's decision to sell Chicago election night coverage packages to news outlets.
Chicago Sun-Times columnist Lynn Sweet notes the Obama campaign is planning to charge reporters $935 for a package that includes access to a heated file tent, power, cable TV, Internet, and food. The cheapest place a reporter could stand on a riser with a view is $880. Members of the media will also be charged $300 for an unlimited long distance phone line and $275 for high-speed wired Internet.
According to Sweet, "This is an outrageous pay-to-play plan that caters to national elite outlets with deep pockets." Bob Knight, director of the Culture and Media Institute, agrees.

It helps them deal with their guilt of being successful. Why they don't just take half of their 50 million and actually help people themselves, I don't know.
But, that would mean they have to deal with actual poor people.

re: #695 The Archivist
But why are those billions coming ashore to invest here? Because the dollar was cheap? Because of the opportunities in the stock market? Or some other reason?
Because the US is a safe haven for wealth. We have many more resources and monetary policy tools at our disposal to deal with this than most other countries do, due to how they are constructed and their banking systems work.
We also have responded to this situation much faster than other countries have. We have demonstrated much more resolve to deal with this.
When push comes to shove, when in doubt, wealth gravitates to the US. Therefore they sell their currency and buy dollars.

re: #686 3 wood
Beyond Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac, the dirty little secret in the current financial crisis is that the Chinese banks purchased hundreds of billions in toxic mortgage paper from Wall Street (Goldman, Lehman etc.), and they're taking their hit right now. Same for a bunch of the European banks.
Treasury Secretary Paulson, late chairman of Goldman, is most famous for establishing the first investment banking office in China. That was so Goldman could sell its "financial products" to the Chinese. That's why the Chinese are so furious at him, and why some of the bailout money will go to China and to Europe.
3 wood's correct. Most of the bad paper was laid off on foreigners. Relative to them, we're only going to suffer a severe but brief recession.

I just posted this link in the Ayers wanting to Kill 25 Million thread and wanted to make sure others knew about it.
[Link: www.imdb.com...]
The mentality of the "Liberal/Enlightened" ones seems to be rather consistent no matter if it is Ayers or just some run of the mill type out of college. This movie is about a group of Liberal types who have decided that they need to eliminate, in other words kill, anyone who does not agree with their philosophy. Yeah.....its a nice heartwarming movie. Oh.....and it came out in 95 and most likely was filmed in 94 and written perhaps in 94/93 so that puts it smack dab in the middle of the Clinton Era. Yeah....these people...if given the chance, will do exactly what Ayers and his bunch wanted to do or if they do not directly do it they would not lift one finger nor raise one voice in protest.

I find myself increasingly uplifted by Obama's suits. And strangely, I no longer notice the color of the garments in which he is dressed. I believe I am nearing the next level of consciousness.

Hey, where are the Pindaric odes in praise of Emperor Obama? The bursts of encomiastic praise in royal hexameter? It's enough to make you think there's a conspiracy against His Highness. At this stage in the election, the press should be filled with "I touched the hem of Obama's garment!" stories.

The Corner is really funny this morning. Two entries that made me laugh out loud:
On Scott McClellan crossing parties:
The news that Scott McClellan has endorsed Obama reminded me of the stinging jibe originally aimed I believe at John Connolly. "By this act he has simultaneously raised the mean IQ of both parties."
On Sarah Palin performing a noble action:
So, Sarah Palin's advisors decide that it is time for her to meet a bunch of serious world leaders. They head to Europe, where, first up, she has an appointment with the Pope. The Pope and some of his Cardinals invite her for a boat ride on the Tiber. As they are sitting in the gondola talking, a wind starts up and blows the Pope's hat into the water. Palin looks around and realizes that no one is going to do anything about it, so she calmy rises, takes off her her high heels, and steps off the side of the boat. Instead of diving into the water, however, she walks across it, to the hat, picks it up and walks back across the water to the boat. She climbs in, hands the Pope his hat and continues discussing whatever it was they had been talking about. The Cardinals are open mouthed in astonishment at what they have just seen. The news media, in nearby boats are busy discussing among themselves how to report it. Headlines the next day at the New York Times, The Washington Post and the networks all blare: New Revelation: Sarah Palin Can't Swim. (H/T Al Hurley)

Don't forget they had to try and beat the infant mortality odds, and ensure that somebody would be around to provide them with gruel in their old age.
I find it a testament to my grandmother that she bore eight children in the late 1800's - early 1900's who all lived to adulthood. My own mother, the youngest of the eight, had diphtheria, smallpox, whooping cough and scarlet fever all before she was seven years old and was nursed at home. Pretty amazing.

Cavuto: John Kennedy Was Right
[Link: www.foxbusiness.com...]
So Alan Greenspan is "shocked, shocked" the credit markets melted down.
Our friends at MarketWatch describing the former Federal Reserve Chairman in "full-frontal legacy defense mode."
...telling the house oversight committee today that he was vigilant as he could be but those darn banks and brokerage houses clearly were not.
Their fault. Not his.
They forgot about their shareholders.
Old al didn't say a thing about how maybe he forgot about everyone else.
Here's the deal:
John Kennedy was right.
Victory has a thousand fathers, but defeat is an orphan.
When times were good, Alan was hot.
And the hotter the markets, and the economy, the hotter old al got.
He was Moses and Jesus wrapped up in one yoda-like zen master of the financial universe.
Worshipped on the left and the right...
The very face of an economic boom that, like all good booms, went bust.
But by then, Alan was long gone.
Surely, he had nothing to do with it.
Just like a complicit congress had nothing to do with it.
Or microphone-seeking politicians had nothing to do with it.
No, the tumult that was unraveling under their watch they just watched.
Today pointing fingers at others than simply looking in the mirror at themselves.
Yet al still is treated with kid gloves.
And his very questioners, co-conspirators in this mess, the kids asking the questions.
Look, I’m not saying the buck doesn't stop with the president.
I am saying it passes quite a few folks on the way.
The same folks sounding outraged and shocked today.
The same folks who had a hand in creating the environment that led to today.
They will never say that.
Today, I just did.
WELL SAID MR CAVUTO

Then you replied later on down that it wouldn't happen if you were around.
So I ended up imagining that sort of future (and/or a screenplay based on that) where I'd be a mostly-proud citizen with just that hint of doubt in the back of my head before I met you. Very Fahrenheit-451ish.

Yes, having big families was their "retirement system". That way there would be a few offspring around in later years who could take care of them.
In older neighborhoods in Chicago you can still see "mother-in-law" houses in the back yards of some larger dwellings.
