See, in Fox Land, gas and food prices haven’t skyrocketed, the GOP hasn’t destroyed the livelihood of millions of middle class Americans lives, Bush hasn’t intentioanlly destroyed ‘Brand America’ in the eyes of every other nation on earth, war is peace, ignorance is strength and freedom is slavery.

See, it’s *normal• for gas to go up 15 cents a day, to double in price every four years or so, it always has in the past, since Fox says so. No, don’t actually look at the historical record, just listen to Fox’s expurgated version of the world.

We’ve always been at war with Eastasia, we’ve never been at war with Eurasia. Doublethink is mandatory, thoughtcrime is death. Potemkin *is* a real town! Fox said so, it *must* be true!

It should work, unless it shoots for 1.60, then I’m fucked, but not as fucked as Saul..

In reality, all liberals can do is cry doom and gloom about teh economy, when it is really going awesome. Just pay attention, to Fox news, not to the NY Times, and you will see that there has never been a better time to work hard and invest in USA. Of course, liberals can’t do either, just subsist on the government dole.”

You know guys, Saul has a sort of point here: If everyone watched Fox news (and only FOX news)the economy would be doing great. (Any disparities with real state of economy and the one reported by Fox would be someone elses fault naturally. I think Islamofascists and gays wanting to get married would be high on this list of scapegoats.)

Why, I’m almost envious of Saul’s economical might, which he is no doubt investing at the moment at such safe bets as rising property values, strenghtening (US) dollar and falling oil price futures.

I’m sure that within a year he will be here in every thread in S/N bragging about how much money he made with soaring property values, strong (US)dollar and that cheap cheap oil. Or is that your plan Saul?

i want to hear “I’m coming for you” tagged onto a pammycakes video….

His record in NYC as mayor left a record of authoritarian 4$$holism. He did things like sell community gardens (the land used to be rubble-strewn lots that the city ignored) to real estate developers but NOT the still rubble-strewn lots across the street. Basically he intentionally destroyed 20 years of volunteer work making the city beautiful and leaving the crack-smoking sites intact.

He ordered the police to arrest artists that showed their work on the streets and to destroy their artwork, too. Police were given a free hand to be as brutal as they wanted.

Giuliani also implemeted Stop and Frisk, basically Nazi-style ID checks for all non-white people in the city. “Let me see your papers, or I’ll arrest you”.

You know who else is saying that the economy is headed for a recession? Commie liberal liars like the Federal Reserve, Goldman Sachs, Morgan Stanley, and Merrill Lynch. Lousy America-hating lefties.

Yep. Every single analyst out there agrees that we’re heading into recession… even the optimistic permabulls are saying it.

A country at war, a future uncertain. The media loves process. Talking heads love chatter. But Florida has a chance to turn down the noise and show the world that leadership is what really matters.

Yeah, ’cause if there’s one thing we’re really good at here in Florida, it’s turning down the political noise.

Oh yeah, thats right, they can’t even afford a new grill when the wind blows their old one over.

Sir Lancelot: We were in the nick of time. You were in great peril.
Sir Galahad: I don’t think I was.
Sir Lancelot: Yes, you were. You were in terrible peril.
Sir Galahad: Look, let me go back in there and face the peril.
Sir Lancelot: No, it’s too perilous.
Sir Galahad: Look, it’s my duty as a knight to sample as much peril as I can.
Sir Lancelot: No, we’ve got to find the Holy Grail. Come on.
Sir Galahad: Oh, let me have just a little bit of peril?
Sir Lancelot: No. It’s unhealthy.
Sir Galahad: I bet you’re gay.
Sir Lancelot: Am not.

Oh, it is cruel but it made me laugh.

Well, true, he IS a fascist, so therefore he must be a liberal. Indeed, that is central to my point.

You could intercut the “I AM COMING FOR YOUUUUUUUU” squirrel with those grotesque screenshots of Malkin, Giuliani’s scowl, Bush’s “who, me?” face.

“I AM COMING FOR YOUUUUUUUUUUU”
.

If a Republican is president you bank on two things: Tax cuts for the rich and a fucked up country.

There fixed that for ya.

Yes, definitely !! Or that “hamster of doom” video too !
