I think I’d feel safer living in Iran than next door to the morons in that video, especially the in-your-camera dumb blonde with the voice from hell.

Not strictly on topic, but I love the fact that protectmarriage.com is spending money on your site. As they say, heh.

I happened upon that Ohio footage this morning, quite by accident, but I was so alarmed I told everybody I knew.

Seems Rachel Maddow has some of the same footage tonight, and now I see it here.

I wouldn’t call it stupidity. It’s ignorance, proudly displayed.

anti-Obama peacocks, showing us their feathers.

Later this evening, after cocktails with my fellow wealthy elitist coastal nihilists, I intend on repeating Dr. Clouthier’s clever little bon mot and we shall laugh and laugh (pronounced loff and loff) before getting back to serious topics like how we can destroy capitalism and then hand over the what is left of the free world to our fundamentalist Islamoterrorist overlords. Because that’s how we roll.

Oh, geez-louise, where to begin?
1) Yes, many Americans ARE stupid enough to stick their tongues in lightsockets—some of them are on that video.
2) These people are precisely what I always thought Rethugs were–and I’m desperately sad to be proven correct.
3) I’ll dust it off from earlier (posted on this very blog) I have never been so proud to be an evil, urban dwelling, liberal elitist in my all life.

Or in terms Repug inbreds can understand: “Oh I’m proud to be a Liberal Democrat, ’cause at least I know I can read” (and think for myself and not be an idiot racist/facist/nazi)

Since 2000, Ohio has received more in Federal funds than it paid in taxes every year. It would make me proud to see these hearty Americans stand on their own two hooves and refuse all of that filthy Blue State lucre.

Lately the thought of secession has been on my mind (it comes natural for people in Vermont — damn, we should’ve stayed independent when we had the chance), but I’m wondering if the real solution is some selective pruning of the Union. You know, a few states here and there that perhaps should be sent off to go it on their own. Ohio is clearly a candidate, along with Utah. Buh-bye now.

Hmm, I just watched the TV version of the Hitchhikers Guide not to long ago, and I think Adams saw this coming (as he saw so many things coming).

So, I read a post about stupid people, click on the “comments” link, and what do I see? An ad about California’s Prop 8 – the initiative that treats marriage like the Sneetches treated stars on their bellies – from “ProtectMarriage.com”. Naturally, their position is “Yes on 8″.

TBogg, ferchrissakes, do you have to rub the stupid in our faces like that? Hell, I’ll even click on the f’in Malkin cheerleader video. Just get that crap off the page.

Paul, *thank you* — I haven’t read the HGTTG in years and had completely forgotten about that scene. Perhaps we can convince the people of Ohio that Obama is really a Big Mutant Space Goat… I’ll make sure to keep my phone clean just in case it works.

My neighborhood in Ohio is full of Obama signs.
This is in an area that has tunnels from houses to the river nearby, all part of the Underground Railroad.

I reread So Long and Thanks for All the Fish not long ago. I need to go back and read the whole thing. It’s been so long since I read them that I’m sure all the meanings will have changed for me. I appreciate you bringing up Mr. Adams. Just thinking about his work cheers me up some, which is a valuable thing these days.

..some selective pruning of the Union. You know, a few states here and there..

Supposedly (and if anyone could tell me if it’s true), when Texas joined the Union they specifically retained the right to secede. If only they would exercise it…

Oh, and what might happen if the dark skinned fellow wins?

I saw the video above earlier today (I think the Poor Man featured it as well). Amazing. The interviewer was more composed than I would have been, and not too many people realized they were punking themselves just by opening their mouths.

And sadly, I think about the Golgafrinchans and the B Ark quite a bit. I should see if the relevant bits are on YouTube but watching the whole thing is worth it. NetFlix has it, of course.

“…Someone Who Knows Sense”?!?

Magnificent!

Sounds like Jonah has been getting into Kudlow’s nose candy.

When are people going to start talking about the REAL reason the markets are down – Obama up in polls. If I was McCain, I’d start telling people, “If you want to lose more money, vote Obama.”

Silly Pantload. Everyone KNOWS the banks are controlled by the Jews.

Mr D. Pantload: After eight years of Bush, the Dow is down about 2,500 points. Since 1932, the stock market under Democrats has performed better than under Republicans. Ask your readers to look it up for you.

Ah, remember the good ol’ days when people at least had the good sense to be embarrassed by their ignorance.

I’m not necessarily the best judge of people or anything, but I think that it’s remotely possible that Jump-in-front-of-the-camera Blonde Lady just might have some unresolved personal issues. What do you think?

Supposedly (and if anyone could tell me if it’s true), when Texas joined the Union they specifically retained the right to secede.

It is most definitely not true. Texas is a state by act of Congress and has no more right to secede than any other state. What we can do is split into up to 5 smaller states if we so desire.

If only they would exercise it…

Oh, please. There’s a decent chance that the Lege may wind up back in Democratic hands this year, gerrymandering be damned. We’re not all mouth-breathing, ignorant rednecks. Some of us are pretty damned intelligent rednecks. Remember Molly Ivins? Ann Richards? John Henry Faulk? Okay, so they’re all dead. That doesn’t mean there aren’t plenty of others like them here.

I recall that Texas’ other option was to divide into (up to?) five states.

I nominate Alaska for the pruning. As long as all Palins are forced to stay there.

Sorry. Looks like 21 was being composed while I worked on 22. Second part still stands.
