Countdown to Electiony: 2 Days
Rolling Stone magazine has featured the beatific image of Our Lord and Savior 2 times on its cover.
Once in March of 2008, alongside the not at all embarrassingly cloying title "A New Hope," and once again only four months later in July with no title or words whatsoever to compete with his lovely visage, save for the title of the magazine (which his head is mostly obscuring).
Because, really, what can you say?

Bob Barr?
He's a hypoctite P.O.S.
You know Joe. I really do talk too much.
Having been using nicotine replacement spray since '96, I can tell you that COPD is coming for you whether you smoke American Spirits or menthols! Try Chantix, at double the dose, and if you go crazy day 2 or 3, increase your dose or get a horse tranquillizer while you clear it from your system. Works great except for a very rare few who get suicidal day 2 or 3 and have to increase dose or get off it ASAP.
sean harrington, you get your $5 bet that something outrageous will still happen re: McCain campaign. Who would have thought it would be the Palin prank call? The offensiveness of most of the prank — just begs for a bit of thought and analysis — like why isn't it news at indecision2008? Actually reporting on the line that was really news would save everyone a lot of time, and let those looking for sleazy baiting listen through.
The real news was that Palin would lie about knowing the Canadian Prime Minister, saying that she knows he's doing pretty well, when she does not even know his name, even when baited with an obviously wrong name. It was news when Bush mangled or forgot world leaders' names, and when Dan Quayle spelled 'potatoe' in his elementary school visit. Palin's lack of knowlege seems similarly reportable to me, especially as she implied not just knowlege of our neighboring country, but familiarity. Score it a rotten 'tomatoe' diplomatically. Of course, diplomats know to say they don't know since it can be a matter of war and peace.
It's also probably real news that no one has reported this yet, because so many are entertained (or paralysed with national cringes?) For entertainment, I suggest the DNC offer Palin a toddler placemat of the countries, write-on-wipe-off style for practice, and possibly an ethics tutor as well, until she's ready for prime time and politics.
Peace, Mary. It's all cool with me. Now vote, Missy!
Oh, don't worry. I plan to. My mother and I are going down to our polling place at 9 AM to vote.
My older son got in. He and my younger son and I sat up late watching feeds on youtube about the Illuminati which pretty much scared the hell out of us. The conspiracy theorists can't agree on whether Obama is a part of it or not. Ain't that funny? But they always point at Bill Clinton which always makes me uneasy. Personally, I don't believe a One World Government is necessarily a negative premise. It depends on the leadership.
So last night, you guessed it. I dreamed about Bill. In my dream, he explained a lot of things to me, kind of like a father would. But he asked me not to share what was said. But what I can tell you is he wants Obama to win this election- in case anyone is in doubt.
True. And everything I've shared about my life is totally true and veriable. And the damned McCain campaign is all over Reverend Jeremiah right now- and just as said before I am totally alienated by that. Fear tactics every step of the way. Fear about the economy (which has already hit the skids). Fear about national security (which has already hit the skids). Fear for Israel (that offends me the most). Fear, fear, fear.
Hope works better for me.
I saw Joe Biden this morning on CNN. I was like "NO! Don't let him talk! What's he gonna say?" I was pleasantly surprised. He talked about girls from families without boys. It so happens that I come from a family of 5 sisters and my mother comes from a family of 5 sisters also. And yes Joe, we girl-girls are the worst. And it's also true that the advantage of that, as you so rightly observed, is that at least one of them will love you. Get mass transportation back on the table in America, and I will be the one who does. By the way, all us AA people go to Hunter's Diner as our gathering spot. In fact, some of us use it as our meeting place when we get tired of the bullshit at meetings.
Oops. My mom was from a family of 5 girls, I was from a family of 4 girls. Numbers and spelling. Just want to be thoroughly factual.
But then again, 5, if you count my littlest sister (and my FAVORITE sister, Kathy, who was born to my mother out of wedlock). I believe that makes it a clear FIVE. I choose to see it that way. Evil stepmother who kept my father from being Kathy's father even though he had the heart to take the credit for it, as a Dad. Where do women like my stepmother come from? I don't believe they represent most women. Jealous, divisive. No comfort to a woman like me, of that I can assure you.
Kathy is my favorite sister. More of a sister to me than the rest of them. Must be the Jew in me.
Girls rock.
Awww, that's so sweet. But aren't we down to one day now?
By the way, if I were in my wisdom as the next president of the United States, to put John McCain in a position in my cabinet, to bring the country together and to reap great benefits, I'd choose John McCain as Secretary of Education. That's where his heart is and where he could just about accomplish true miracles. That's the John McCain I know.
