The long suffering former first lady threw in the towel, and now it is BHO against that other guy. Lord, this is going to be a long election. The right wing has shown their love of slander and dirty politics for the sheer fun of it. While I think it is cool that a dark skinned man is running, unless common sense is shown by some this could get ugly. Being threatened with urban riots if BHO loses is one sure way to turn people to JSM. …
… Georgia is so red that it glows. Her electoral votes are almost certain to go to JSM. This being America, you can always make your voice heard by donating money. Our local monopoly ad-rag has printed a selection of positions taken by BHO. A word of thanks to Neo Prodigy for steering me to these. I seldom buy or read the fishwrapper these days, and would have missed this otherwise.

The suggestions were about what you could expect: neo cons, social justice, global warming etc. … Me, whenever I hear the phrase “main stream media” or “msm”, the light goes off in my head. Do not pay any more attention to this moron. The radio whiner in question works for Cox Enterprises. Cox owns the local monopoly fishwrapper, a network affiliate tv station, and lots of other things. That sounds pretty mainstream to me.

He would put a ten in and not ask for change. … I saw Tom Waits at a concert once. Tim Curry was playing at the Agora Ballroom, and I was wandering through the balcony. Mr. Waits was playing the next night, but I was too slack to attend. I saw Mr. Waits and some people sitting at a table.

Nuclear Energy is big government. It is dangerous, requires constant supervision, and the fuel can be used to make weapons. None of this is true about Solar. 17.
