Haven’t the past two presidential elections shown you guys that our votes mean nothing anymore? What we need is a crack team of five-year-old computer wizards to hack into Diebold’s databases and change the election results like the other side’s been doing for almost seven years now.

I agree that the only real social change is made in the streets and not in the office, but in higher education they teach us that that stuff is “impractical” and won’t get us jobs, so nobody listens and joins the econ department.

I’m glad to see other people doing it as well.

When things are this screwed up, I just feel like anything at all helps.

Sounds like he thinks this is a race to end the world and he wants the US to win it.

We cannot allow a mineshaft gap!

King George does what King George wants to do. This is no longer a democracy!

Let’s just hope someone can keep the football away from him until Jan. 2009.

On a personal note, I’d just like to thank the Bush voters for saving me the trouble of killing myself, which I always sort of figured I’d have to do eventually.

Fatalism: It’s not just for goths and philosophy majors anymore.

Seriously, Jillian, I don’t pray either. I fold cranes. Give it a try. Instructions and paper patterns here:

I want my money back.

Was it all teh l4m3’s fault?

I think you are right about Gary. I’ve seen his name jacked before, and he was back in the same thread with nary a comment about the theft.

Personally, I think if you open yourself up to obvious parody the way certain trolls do, then name-stealing is fair game, but I am hardly a blog ethicist.

Finally, if Bush does drop nukes on Iran, does that render Godwin’s law inoperable? (what I mean is that given the horrific casualties, do comparisons between Bush and Hitler finally become relevant?)

By the way, you mentioned Iranian attitudes to 9/11, al-Q, Saddam H, etc. Thought nobody had noticed.

Don’t feel bad Marq- like me, you value your sanity far too much to subject your brain to such stress.

The United States must head off the annihilation of all mankind by Iranian killers.

Nothing like taking a “threat” that’s already over-hyped and inflating it some more. A whole lot more. Personally, a nuclear-armed Iran doesn’t overly much worry me, other than that the more nuclear weapons there are in existence, the more likely they are to be used by someone, eventually. To date, the most worrisome situation in nuclear arms and their potential usage is between India and Pakistan, and that situation was worse in the ’90s. ‘Course, Shrub has gone and stirred that up, too.

If crazed Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad gets ahead of the freedom game, we’re done in.

Huh? Wot the hell is God-boy talking about here? This sentence would have made just as much sense if he had inserted his lovely “freedom spread” where he has “freedom game.” Which is to say, little-to-none.

He anticipates the return of his messiah when the world is in flames.

Um, Swankmeister? Isn’t this also true of you? Justaskin’.

Free people have no other choice right now.

Um, noooooo… You see, Grant, free people usually have near-infinite choices. So, if that’s our only choice, we either aren’t free, or you’re lying. Or, both. No false dichotomy here!

Cultic creeds don’t tolerate that kind of ordeal. Cults are married to their deranged convictions, no matter what.

Which explains Chimpy’s rush to war, yet again. Brings to mind the saying about insanity is defined by doing the same thing repeatedly and expecting different results.

Therefore, free nations are not relating to another politic.

Again, what the hell? Does anyone know what Pastor Semi-literate was trying to say here, ‘cos I sure don’t.

These global protests will not be merely a week’s news event.

Silly Swank–neither will the Latino ones.

What Russia does not understand is the demonic theology Russia is talking to.

Because none of the former Soviet Republics have turned out to be heavily Muslim. And then, there’s Chechnya. Gosh, those Russkies sure are ignorant! I’ll bet they don’t even remember their little frolic in Afghanistan!

How will that finally tally for peace?
…
How will that finally tally for peace.

Hey, Mr. “Who would Jeebus bomb?”, was that a question or a statement? Oh, and BTW, starting wars, particularly nuclear ones, never tallies for peace, dumbass.

Our President absolutely does not give a fuck what we think.

He also seemed a LOT less crazy back in 2000. If you had asked if he would’ve invaded Iraq back then, I would’ve said, “Hell no, it’s a bad idea and it would hurt his party”.

Since then, however he has demonstrated that he is going to do what he is going to do, no matter what people think, and no matter how much it hurts him.

Our only chance, short of armed revolution, is to influence him indirectly, through congress.

Marches won’t faze him, and to be honest, I don’t even think a nationwide strike would stop him.

I hope I’ve aided in fostering an understanding between cultures.

All this will have no impact on Bush, of course. That’s all “reality based.” Bush is faith based. He makes his own reality. Bush has a solid 35% of the country behind him. The Nazis had less, and look what they were able to accomplish.

Armageddon is coming, baby, so we need to pre-position armies in the Middle East. Who cares about global warming? Folks are going to be raptured right out of their socks long before they have to worry about it. Peak oil? You don’t need oil in heaven. National debt? Shit, the last check you write should be to the undertaker, and it should bounce!

And it’s 1-2-3 what are we fighting for?
Don’t ask me I don’t give a damn.
Next stop is nuke Iran.
Whoopee! We’re all gonna die!
