Well, well, well! Look who has crawled out from under his rock again! There are quite a lot of people around here who have missed you, "Capt. Ed" Esperto, and quite a lot who will adopt you and your poisonous views as a breath of fresh air.

I can't bring myself to say welcome back, but I'm sure somebody else will.

You're getting a bit desperate, aren't you, brick? Have you been checking the thread every day waiting for me to utter a word so you could call me a liar? Get off your high horse, or can't you acknowledge that my post had nothing to do with the thread topic?

There you go, ammunition for your next snipe. Go for it, for I will certainly keep my word on this promise, and that is never to bother responding to you again.

No, binos, quite the contrary. I was just surprised at the vitriol of your previous post.

But, I did simply remind all of what you wrote. It seemed pretty definitive and a statement of intent.

Ppruning, however, is addictive, I'll admit.

I welcome reading most of what you write even though I may disagree with it.

However, your posting of late seems to have taken a sharp turn for just being nasty and unpleasant to no end.

I hope that is a temporary condition.

Thanks for lifting the veil of doom and gloom from the colonies

Thank You.

May I offer sincere thanks to the ever so kind Mr. ORAC for giving me a new direction in personal style. I've added this spirited vest to my shopping cart and bookmarked the website for future stylish purchases. I wonder if they offer volume discounts?

Go Ahead, Laugh at Obama

Just a few weeks ago, it seemed nobody could make a joke about Barack Obama. The New York Times published a front-page story declaring that “there has been little humor” about Obama because “there is no comedic ‘take’ on him, nothing easy to turn to for an easy laugh.” Television comedy writers fretted that audiences didn’t want to hear anything even slightly negative about the Democratic nominee. The political press corps went nuts over a satirical New Yorker cover that wasn’t even directed at Obama.

And this was about a man who made up his own pretend presidential seal and motto, Vero Possumus; a man who, upon securing the Democratic nomination, said, “I am absolutely certain that generations from now, we will be able to look back and tell our children that this was the moment when the rise of the oceans began to slow and our planet began to heal”; a man who has on a number of occasions seemed to forget that he is not, or at least not yet, the President of the United States, who has misstated the number of states in his own country, who has forgotten on which committees he serves in the U.S. Senate. Professional comedians — and their audiences — couldn’t find anything funny about any of that?

Now, after Obama’s world tour, there are already cracks in the Times-imposed conventional wisdom. Confronted with something of an official ban on Obama humor, there is emerging a new strain of Obama humor — zings at the candidate’s hauteur, his presumptuousness, and, especially, his most zealous admirers in the press...............

Last week, Jon Stewart on The Daily Show got an enthusiastic reception from his audience with a routine about Obama’s media entourage. Stewart tossed to the team of reporters who were said to be traveling with the Obama campaign, some of whom had abandoned John McCain to cover the more exciting Democrat. They were positively giddy about Obama.

“The commander-in-chief,” said one. “Did you see when the president hit that three-pointer?” asked another. “Nothing but net,” said a third.

Stewart interrupted. “He’s not the president.” Pause.“Barack Obama’s not the president.”

A confused silence. “Are you sure?” the reporters asked........

Do you think that he will be popped before the election or will they wait for the messier, post election dismissal

Just Wondering !

Not impossible by any means

You may well think so C of F, there are many however, who share my sense of forboding and almost inevitability !


Strong emotions and strong forces at work here !!

Obama has shown me that he can bring back to the office of the presidency and the United States, the respect of the world. The man is a class act. His opponent seems to be a bumbling, old idiot that is out of touch with reality and the 21st. century.

May the best man win.

So, El Grifo, so the reasons that Lincoln, Garfield, Mc Kinley and Kennedy were assassinated was due to their race?

How about the reasons behind the attempted assassinations of Jackson Theodore Roosevelt, Franklin D. Roosevelt, Truman, Nixon (twice), Ford (twice), Reagan, H.W. Bush and Bill Clinton?

Not to mention the rumorers that the deaths of Zachary Taylor and Warren G. Harding were actually assassinations.

Or perhaps will you admit that while the race of Obama may, just may play a minor role of any assassination attempt there would be many more reasons for some misguided soul to try to kill a President?

To automatically assume that because of Obama not being lily white will be assassinated is not only jumping to a highly improbably conclusion but bordering on ludicrous. I for one am much more worried about Obama being targeted by radical Muslims because they will by reason of total insanity want him dead because Obama abandonded his father's faith. This is a much more valid threat than the typical sterotyping of rednecks.

That is the reason I feel that having Hillary as Vice-President would be an excellent life insurance policy for Obama, hell nobody wants her to be President.


(But then again,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,the Clintons. )

No it is really easy Con.

I (and many others) think he will be popped purely because of his race.

Simple as that !

Good to focus on the similarities rather than the differences.

Cheers Con

Well I laughed so hard Mr. PB, people literally came running to see why after playing the video of the author himself reading this beautifully crafted bit of scripture earlier today.

If the highly improbable happens (Obama has Hils as VP, is elected and assassinated--you heard it here FIRST! And somebody that goes by con-pilot was seen on the grassy knoll. The conspiracy theory for the 21st Century. Then again, C-P doing the Clinton's bidding is a little hard to believe.

As a pretty rightwing sort who's planning to vote for Obama I can think of plenty of reasons to do it.

But "bring back to the office of the presidency and the United States, the respect of the world" is pretty far down my list of reasons. If y'all over there like him, that's fine, but it'll make about as much difference here as the fact that you think GWB is the spawn of the devil. (Sorry, I better rephrase that, you're not allowed to believe inthe devil.)

obgraham

Just to illuminate my brain-how could a self-described right wing sort plan on voting for BO? He has no experience, nothing but very "left wing" views on most everything, even allowing for his post-presumptive change in every position and brings platitudes to every issue. I am not trying, but maybe succeeding, in not prejudging, but I find hard to square all the Obamicans. A learned response is desired. Then again, at best, I'll hold my nose to vote for McCain, if I vote. Lord, give a real conservative, PLEASE. I have simple wants-limited government, more freedom and not fearing the news with some silly, overweaning politician spouting compassion, "Your job, Mr President, is to run the government in its most basic tasks and NOTHING else!" My crab grass is out of control, can the Prez fix the lawn? NOOOOOOOO!!, but that would be compassionate. Hell, I'd appreciate him mowing it.
