McCain's mom holds forth

Lunch Break

Sign of Apocalypse: Rush L./P. Krugman both critics of Prez. Obamanomincs already failing?

ICountry: It is a crappy time to be a country that begins with I. Iran, Iraq, Iceland, now Ireland.

Soup For You!: Orlov on the next few years.
The theory states that the United States and the Soviet Union will have collapsed for the same reasons, namely: a severe and chronic shortfall in the production of crude oil (that magic addictive elixir of industrial economies), a severe and worsening foreign trade deficit, a runaway military budget, and ballooning foreign debt. I call this particular list of ingredients "The Superpower Collapse Soup."

Bristol Talks: Abstinence is NOT realistic. Bristol, you are correct. Conservatives are WAY off base on human sexuality. OR more on point they are FEAR based. Talking openly, removing shame about sexual desires, (including Gay and Bi impulses- homosexual behaviour with some members of a population is normal and healthy in many mammals.) being realistic and helpful about sex, STDs, and having contraception available is realistic. To think that human biology would change just because we invented High School in the 1800s, or because some ancient agricultural society handed us down a series of edicts that made sense TO THEM - is idiotic.



Music: From the 60s. Okay this was released in 1970. But it may be the last moment in American culture before irony was dumbed down completely. Imagine a pop song about a personal existential collapse in 2009. Country gets close on occasion. But Hip Hop is merely about being horny all the time. Rap is about giving legions of the talentless the impression they matter. Both have long since worn out their usefulness....and need to go.

He ain't no Bill Clinton

Well I suppose it had to come to this eventually...liberal rapture posts a clip from that Rush fellow... ah well...such is life...even a broken clock is right twice a day...He is making a point about an answer BHO gave a 7 year old at a rally.

Obama (who may not exist. he might be a hologram...I'm looking in to it.) really isn't too good at this running for Pres. thing....Kids, someone has to say it: He ain't no Bill Clinton. Face facts Pods, without a teleprompter he is just crappy. He gives an answer which is perfectly suited for a gathering of effete Santa Monica 'I support workers since I shop at the farmer's market on thursday' liberals attending a small fundraiser at Ariana's Alimony Pad in Brentwood. The subtext is "this country sucks" which is what these people LOVE to hear. It ensures that they are not responsible...however, giving this answer to a 7 year old is just bad politics. Like Bush, unless BHO is strictly controlled he botches things. This is why he is being a coward about debating McCain in a town hall format. Rush L. gives the right answer - an answer that inspires FAITH in one's country- and an answer that would have danced of JFK's or Bill Clinton's tongue...
