Joe The Plumber Sez: Go To Zeitgeist Thursday
McCain says he wants to put money in his pocket. I think John’s just got a thing for exposed ass cracks.
*******************************UPDATE*******************************
Bay Area Rummy Bloggers Drink-Up hosted by the Barbarians tomorrow, Thursday, at Zeitgeist in San Francisco (corner of Win & Fail):
Calling all Sadlynauts esp. D to the A,
SF bay area blogger drinkfest and debate wrap up tomorrow (thurs) at Zeitgeist.
See the barbarianblog. Look for the Viking helmet.
BTW: did Bob bring up Ayers so McRib didn’t have to? Maybe it was the wet hops at Toronado.
All proceeds will go to Empty Beer Pitcher-Fillers Local 69.
*******************************UPDATE*******************************
ABOVE: John McCain has post-debate plumbing issues.
Hanx! David Robinson in comments..

HTML adds: Isn’t Plumber Joe the sort of confrontational guy whom George Bush and Richard Cheney would have had the Secret Service physically throw out of rallies? Already, comrades, we see change coming to America!
I’ve watched all the debates on ABC. Purty Mouth MorAn really doesn’t like George Stephanopoulos.
I’m a combative asshole type (as you well know), so I was really hoping that Obama would say in response to McCain’s comments in RE: Ayers, “Oh, yeah, well what about your man-crush on G. Gordon Liddy?” But he of course didn’t. And from the looks of the polls, maybe it’s for the best. Kill him with kindness, instead!
Shorter Mark Steyn: McCain would have won if he hadn’t silenced his inner wingnut.

Oooh, McCain came very close to losing it… but he didn’t.
I chanted “Think about bunnies,” just for comic relief.
He must want to be President very much. It’s my understanding that he usually does not restrain his temper. So you can do it, huh, you just don’t bother, Senator McCain?

Even more impressive because McWorse thought the presidency was just going to be handed to him. Rarely-exercised self control, or primo meds?

I knew this would happen. These guys love assholes – look at how they sucked on W’s balls for 8 years. They love guys who hate them – look at how they joked when W “pretended” to run them over with a tractor.
So yea, it doesn’t surprise me that they love this blustery, disrespectful, and unserious performance.
Also, CNN gets ratings from a close race, so they will push the “comeback” if its at all possible.

Joe the Plumber can lick my balls by the way. He makes way, way more money than I do, and I have no sympathy with him struggling in his endeavors to make way more money than that. We have tried the trickle down thing, it failed, it doesn’t work, it’s bullshit, so sorry Joe, pay the taxes and work harder if you wanna make more.

Sane people in high-powered apprenticeship careers (plumbers, doctors, lawyers) generally accept that Joe 2008 making $200,000 instead of 250,000 a year is a pretty small price to pay for Joe 1997 making $20,000 a year instead of $10,000.

In an example of Jungian synchronicity, my latest browse through Wikipedia turned up a 1927 example of When Wingnuts Go Bad.
Bath School disaster
A man runs for school board, starts ranting about high taxes, and the next thing you know, he’s spent a year stockpiling dynamite under the school building and burns down his own farm. Forty three people were killed, (started his spree by murdering his wife) and he even tied his farm animals in their stalls to make sure they would die.
Eerie, especially since all McCain can say is “Obama will raise your taxes!”
I am heartily sick of people who make a ton of money and are greedy for more. I bet I give more to charity, proportionate to my income, than most of them do.

Remember how Palin dominated the debate because she failed to piss herself on camera? You know, how even Maddow declared Palin the winner in defiance of the polls on the first night?
And how Palin was supposed to be hot and sassy for anyone except the evangelical creeps whose sex lives are dominated by whether someone’s beehive is too loose and as a consequence they’re a slut?
And the entire flop-about about the PUMAS and the Bill Ayers slur being meaningful, and the racist, insane ACORN conspiracy theorizing seeping into the MSM?
The only thing that could possibly explain the profound, Manchurian Candidate-level synchronicity between surreally innacurate yet ostensibly independent and objective reports of events is someone having a monopoly over the talking points.
I’m not entirely sure who or how, but the scenario implicitly dismissed by Chomsky in his scathing critique – that there was some kind of media-controlling evil conspiracy out there sitting at a physical table and deciding on what would be in the news tomorrow – is now at least partially true. They’ve crossed the line from whoredom to marionettehood. We are getting our news from an evil step-cousin of Sesame Street.

Oh snap!
I’m pretty grim as to the future of reproductive rights in America. The anti-woman subculture within the evangelical movement has so comprehensively dominated first the Christianist position and now the generic ‘moral’ position that it’s acceptable to take plain lies as established fact.
More than half of the country exists in an alternate universe where Planned Parenthood is an abortion funnel, the established theological consensus is that life begins at arousal, and women even within marriage having the right to control their own bodies is radical and controversial.
How do you explain to people how insane and radical a position like Palin’s or McCain’s is if they’ve been told their whole lives that it’s what Aryan Jesus thinks on the matter?

This might have slipped by among all the blinking and smirking, but McCain equated organ transplants with cosmetic surgery. When transplants aren’t covered, patients die, communities hold raffles, families hock their heirlooms. McCain referred to gold-plated policies that covered plastic surgery and transplants.
He should be smashed hard over that.

Sussssturustertenenen, looking none too happy, first full face then slowly turning to profile. I swear to FSM she looked just like Sam the Eagle. Second, again on Faux, Hume was interviewing Krauthammer.

All through the debate, I kept turning to my son and saying, “There’s something wrong with that old man. He’s had a stroke or something.” My son said, “Check out that blinking. He looks like he’s on speed.” I have to agree, he looked and acted like he was wired for sound, or was having some sort of manic episode.
How could the fuckin’ MSM possibly entertain the idea that there was anything remotely good about McCain’s performance? How? How? Did they all have a collective stroke? And those moron undecideds on that panel afterward? wtf is that all about? Did they all have strokes too? There is something wrong with all those people. Maybe it’s the mercury in the water, you know, the safe level of mercury the Bushies assure us we can live with. Dain. Brammage.
And that description of gold-plated health insurance, with the cosmetic surgeries and transplants? I am in accord with Dr. BDH. That was perhaps the most stunning thing the doddering old fool said, even more so than his open contempt for women’s health. Un-fucking-believable. I thought I was well past the stage where any of this shit would surprise me. Huh. Live ‘n learn.
Oh, and I gotta say, in all of Obama’s stellar performance, I most loved the part where he refused to repudiate Lewis. So refreshing to see a Democrat stand up and . . . well, stand up. Well played, Mr. Obama, well played.

In the second debate McCain referred to “hair transplants” and tried to make a self-deprecating joke.
Tonight he said “transplants and all those kinds of things.”
Maybe he wanted to say something similar to what he said in the second debate but left out the hair part and the joke. Maybe he didn’t. Who knows what “all of those kinds of things” are. There are times when it’s getting hard to tell what exactly he wants to say.
A la lanterne les aristos said,
October 16, 2008 at 7:16
Not to come to McCain’s defense, but given he was basically repeating his lines from the last debate he probably meant to say “hair transplants” rather than just “transplants”.
Of course, that sort of error is one of the perils of spending your time attempting to get all your buzz words inserted instead of actually *debating* the issues.

As I recall it, Joe Plumber was telling Obama that he expected to make between $270,000-280,000 a year. This is McInsane’s everyman?? It was howlingly funny when he tried to assert that Barry was gonna fine Joe P. if the he refused to provide health care for his family (what, he can’t afford it on $280,000 a year?) and Barry said “Nope. Not true. Doesn’t apply to small businesses”. McInsane looked like he was gonna punch whoever briefed him in the throat!

Henry Lewis; here is the YouTube linky http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vFC9jv9jfoA . Obama was clear about that. That the income over 250K will be the ones he sees an extra 3% tax.
Watch the clip. It shows what a classy man Obama is. If Joe Plumber were a Democrat and Obama was a Republican, he would never have made it through the preselected audience. If he managed to get around the guards, he would have been told, “I hope you thanks our troops for your right to protest!” and ignored.

Whoever did McCain’s makeup seemed to have only a passing familiarity with the human face.

I liked the part near the beginning when McPOW talked about Teh Greatest Depression as if he had been there. And then I realized, the poor dear, he was.
Michelle O. will be the most beautiful first lady since Jackie O.

Thank you Henry Lewis. If Joe makes $280k, 30k will be taxed at a 3% higher rate. That’s $900 in extra tax. This is going to cripple Joe’s ability to buy health insurance and purchase a business worth Approximately 2.5 million? (if it has profits of 280k per year) Can’t anybody out there do simple math?

Au contraire. The makeup artist was very familiar with the human face. That’s why he was so badly thrown by the misshapen lump of dough on the front of McPOW’s head.

And if anyone wants to describe the image I just linked to as “The Palin / McCain campaign”, I could not possibly comment.

Zeitgeist is at Valencia & Duboce, 1 (long) block south of Market, 2 (long) blocks north of 15th.
Any specific time? Or is punctuality for elites?

Gotta love McCain’s plan to recruit teachers, though. It’s bloody brilliant! Take a bunch of people who have been fighting in a war, many of them possibly suffering from PTSD, then make them teach a bunch of rugrats with no stupid exams, training or certification. I thought McCain was against torture?
I watched NBC, couldn’t stand any more of ‘Babbling’ Brooks on PBS. Split screen rocked!
Mitt came on afterwards, told more lies, spun his pretty head off trying to do damage control. Um, Mitt, we just watched it live, but thanks for the filter – your base might buy it though.
I would have liked to see Obama go for the throat over the negative thing, but he’s a cool customer. Let McCain look like a hothead and a crank (in other words, be himself). Obama sailed through all shiny and smooth.

That first picture is crying, simply crying out in desperation for a sammich. I believe the Sadlynauts are the ones to bring that image to the world.
