Wait Just A Damn Minute!

I'm sorry. Did I fuckin' miss something, or isn't this guy not even the nominee yet? Correct me if I'm wrong but doesn't the "moment" when we "change" the "world" into a liberal "paradise" -- with "peace," "healthcare" and free Slurpees for all -- doesn't that "moment" come after the "moment" when the dude actually gets elected president?

I think Casca may be on to something.

dude, this guy ain't even qualifed for the 15 minutes.

I hope you're right. We haven't seen mass hysteria like this since Princess Di. This guy is my senator, and there is a certain amusement to watching a Chicago Democratic pull off selling himself as the ideal for change.

There's no way Barry the Obamessiah wins in November, thank God. He's polling right about the same Kerry was in July of 2004: if he was really headed for victory, he'd be at least ten points out right now, or more. Despite having the media in the tank for him, the guy's just so obviously not ready for prime time that late-breaking undecideds are going to think "that guy?! Are you fucking kidding me?"

"Not ready for Prime Time" Hehhehehehe, I'll be using that.

Really, if this is all you have to criticize this guy on, then he's a shoe-in.

Posted by: YumYum on Jul. 29, 2008

Well, it's "shoo-in" to be precise.

The people didn't elect either Gore or Kerry for the exact same reasons; they just aren't regular guys.

In the flyover states, they get this, so look for Obama to lose Ohio, Michigan and Pennsylvania, which is where the battlegrounds will be.

Game over.

Shelly, you're connected to the world wide conspiracy. How's the jewish vote going to break? I'd think that BO would lose a sizeable percentage of that Miami vote.

There is no way in hell that Ohio will go BO, although Hillary could have had it this year. You're right on PA & MI too.

Obama is fooling no one in Israel.

Ohlmert is out and the next PM will be former P.M. Bibi Netanyahu or former P.M. Ehud Barak.

I know both personally. Both are hardliners when it ocmes to security. Both are smart as Hell, so they "courted him" or, rather gve him enough respect to protect themselves should he actually pull it off.

But they know who their friends will be and they aren't around Obama.

As things draw closer, they tend to drop hints to the American Leadership as to whom they prefer; so far, the signals are all in semaphore flags, which may give you some idea as to how they feel.

I'm going to vote for him... for me to POOP ON!

For those who think the "Drill offshore, drill now" sloganeering has any substance whatsoever to it, read this presentation by Matthew Simmons, CEO of the world's largest energy investment bank to the Offshore Technology Conference this year, and the DoE's own analysis that shows that any substantive output from currently banned US offshore sites "would not have a significant impact on domestic crude oil and natural gas production or prices before 2030", and even then "any impact on average wellhead prices is expected to be insignificant";

Oil and Gas Rust: An Evil Worse than Depletion - 2008 Offshore Technology Conference

DoE: Impacts of Increased Access to Oil and Natural Gas Resources in the Lower 48 Federal Outer Continental Shelf

In short, there's not much there and we don't even have the ability to go after it.

Sorry to kill a topic by posting wedding dresses about it ad nauseum, but my God(!), I can't believe that wedding dress  there was a time I preferred to use Qwest - that is, until Qwest DSL started giving me some problems. After abandoning Cox for two years because of the crappy  wedding gowns service they gave me wedding gown  in three different locales, the prodigal son returns - and it is great to be back.


Apparently two years makes discount wedding dresses  all the difference. Cox has completely revamped their customer service. Sure, they have some snarky automated bitch cheap wedding dresses  when you call tech support, but - and this is a tip for all of you Googlers out there who can't find simple wedding dresses  this - if you're calling Cox tech support and want to bypass the automated system, just say informal wedding dresses  "Technician". Apparently, that's the secret word and Cox's automated doorman lets you pass through the pearly gates to,bridal gowns  surprisingly, competent tech support and dude's who really don't mind too much when you have  bridal dresses a problem.


I had to call Cox twice yesterday, and unlike the horrible time I had with Qwest, they actually fixed my problems both times. It's almost as if they know what they're doing.


And as for speed; I had bridesmaid dresses to always assumed DSL was comparable stricly because with DSL, you're not sharing your network with anyone. I was wrong. Despite what other sites may tell you, cable broadband is way faster than DSL. Clocking my mother of the bride dresses download times, it's about 400% faster with Cox than it was with my DSL. I'm not exaggerating.


Of course, I also purchased their top tier bandwidth speed; at the basic package, it may be more plus size wedding dresses comparable. However, for a web designer, 400% faster means a lot more work is done in less time. And for a guy who actively loves to stream media, holy shit.


Anyway, I'm done now. I just wanted to make sure that I wasn't a guy who only complains, but also compliments. Kudos Cox - ya won me over.
