I posted the link to Drudge. I'm not into namecalling but if you read your post there again, it was kinda nasty & I responded in kind. This ain't Shiiddoobbee!

Moving on, these recent polls are interesting. For some reason, the pollsters are questioning 25% more Dems. On a previous page I quoted a scholarly article about how EVERY election seems to show more Dem strength than what follows in the actual election. I'm not saying I see a McCain win yet but I wouldn't wanna be the drapes-measuring guy for Michele O'Bama. I hear she's got quite a temper.

But LJ, the ratio is out of all bounds. I'm watching last night's Charlie Gibson news & Stephanopolous talked about how Barry is worried about voters resenting the fact that the MSM is telling people who to vote for. On a liberal board I post at, even some of those nimrods admitted that McCain "won" last night's jokefest at the Al Smith Dinner. O'Bama was stiff & just plain unfunny. I'd like him to lose at this point just to piss off/on Hayden Pannietire.

I expect tempers to get a little frayed at this time as so much is at stake for both sides. You're worried about Roe/Wade & I'm worried about my country. I can't believe that for the 2nd straight open election, we're going with the empty suit.

The "people's ticket" ordered a little snack from room service at the Waldorf, as the N.Y. Post's page Six reports:

    While he was at a meeting at the Waldorf-Astoria at 4 p.m. Wednesday, Michelle Obama called room service and ordered lobster hors d'oeuvres, two whole steamed lobsters, Iranian caviar and champagne, a tipster told Page Six.

I'd guess the bill for that snack came in at around $350. Iranian caviar ain't cheap — even if you negotiate for it yourself. What the hell . . . Your campaign contributions (soon to be your tax dollars) at work.

Does anyone else remember Gerald Ford toasting his own English Muffins in the family quarters of the White House? Michelle's style is a little more Leona Helmsley, who's ad campaign featured a picture of herself in one of her hotels, with the slogan, "a hotel fit for a Queen."  Can you do that at the White House?

Nigger bashing? I'm not voting for BO because he's unworthy of the nation's highest office & he's a socialist to boot. I fear for our nation if he gets in. I care nothing about the color of his skin & all about the nuttiness of his ideas.

I wonder if that will have any effect? Powell's been pretty quiet these last few years.

You don't think Michelle is attractive?  I think the only impact Colin Powell's endorsement would have might be that of embarrassing McCain.  Although it might help me regain some of the respect I lost for him.  Boy...my mouth is watering for some Iranian caviar.  How about you?

OMIGOD!

So, Springsteen is talking to the audience at the big Obama benefit he did with Billy Joel.  He's explaining that the group (Joel's band plus Bruce's wife Patti) hasn't practiced together much and might not be too good.  He told the crowd to "Palinize your expectations."  Priceless.

Hi Ginda--I thought mI responded to the PM, but it must not have gone through.  I don't know howe to shrink the avatar, but it doesn't obscure the posts on my screen (except sometimes on the iPhone), so I don't know why it's doing it to you.

hahaha... he said "soil"

That's some Mighty Boosh.  Dude, three weeks ago, you were saying he had to go bailwad because otherwise it was "total economic collapse" or some media buzz words like that.  You should have gone with your alleged principles, because now it looks like you were for socialism before you were against it.

Also, and more to the point, over the last 5-6 years, I have trashed George Walker Bush III on the soil of FOUR foreign sovereignties, including the U.S.'s only two physical contiguousities.  Most people haven't even been to four countries, and I've manged to trash that goon in four.  Four fucking foreign soils.  References available upon request.
