    Gimp parties, blacking up and singing "Mammy", mutual masturbation, and drinking goats' blood. You know, the usual.

    Well, that's the GOP anyway.


    Does Nader get to have a convention? Will the press fit in his front room?

    a couple of things bothered me at the Republican Convention...
    1. The whole 'Republican Hat/American Hat' thing... YOU'RE SUPPOSED TO WEAR THE AMERICAN HAT ALL THE TIME... YOU FUCKING ASSHOLES!!!
    ...
    2. The thing with the Navy Seal. Using it to justify the war and it's continuation... well, I think that in order to really honor this man as a hero... for saving the lives of his team mates... how about we fucking take care of and honor the LIVES of the men he saved? I'm not talking about those specific lives he personally saved... I'm talking about the men and women who come out of Iraq... all fucked up... and we treat them like shit. We dishonor that Navy Seal in our campaign commercial when we send his wounded brothers in arms to mold infested rat's nest hospitals... or discharge them from the service for 'behaviour' problems so we don't have to pay for their PTSD.
    How about we honor the ones who make it through that shithole... instread of only the ones who didn't?

    to be fair ... they are just ripping off Obama when he says "we are not red states or blue states, we are the United States"

    hey look, it's carly fiorina ... the woman who against advice from top mgmt consultants and many inside the HP board rooms told her not to go forward with the Compaq merger ... yet she did .... and it was a flop.

    Yeah for failed business leaders!

    wasn't going to motivate anyone that already wasn't motivated to be honest.

    Romney's speech was poor.

    Agreed. Notice there was no mention of George W. Bush.

    Huckabee is funny and a great speaker. Unfortunately, he's also insane.

    The lava soap bit made me giggle. :)
