I’m utterly amazed at how often Windows Media Player wants to access the Internet. What is your deal? You are a music/video program and one that I don’t use. What do you want from me? What on the Internet is so bloody important to you? Microsoft, if you want that much access to the Internet then your butt better start sending me a check each month to help cover the DSL bill. Fortunately the firewall keeps smacking you back into your box.
I recently added little sister to my ongoing coalition to make Gmail the new standard in Internet communication. And my first email in reply was a pic of her dawg.
As for now…let’s watch the debate.
Wow, it’s like Frodo…no, Frodo’s too cool. It’s like Boob the Dancing Hobbit fighting the Balrog. I think I just heard Darth’s voice saying, “Impressive” when Edwards pounced right out of the gate, “There was no connection between Saddam and 9-11.” It’s a bold start to come out swinging. Good for you, Eddie. Although if you keep it up, Cheney might eat you. And I don’t mean that as a metaphor. I mean, he might eat you.
Edwards is all over the place with Afghanistan. In the same breath he says the U.S. Military “did terrifically” then a moment later says the U.S. Military didn’t do enough. Why is he attacking the Afghan conflict? That is and was the one fight everyone has agreed upon. What is he saying? I freaking love opium! I’d be sucking on a pipe right now if Mel hadn’t spent all our money on shoes. Ugh, claiming Afghanistan is a disaster is hurting his argument. First off, it’s not true. The country’s in much better shape than it was. And it’s heard to argue Cheney’s point that Afghan elections are a sign of progress there. And women voting and serving office? In Afghanistan? If that’s not a major step forward I’m not sure what is.
I love TiVo.
And this whole point about the rest of the world hating us…I don’t care. If you want to say it’s because Bush lied, fine. If you want to say it’s because we didn’t jump through hoops for the UN, fine. But let’s be honest for a moment. The rest of the world has hated us for a long time. Long before Bush. They hate us because we’re strong. They hate us because we’ve got an amazing gene pool and we kick Olympic bootie. They hate us because of Israel. Quit being stupid. Even if we’d sent in more inspectors they would still hate us. Move on.
Edwards launched multiple attacks on the elephant’s foreign policy while Cheney keeps punching back with the donkey’s inconsistency. Move on boys, these issues are old news. But I agree that Edwards and Kerry voted against funding the war because Howard Dean was kicking their butts with his Anti-War banter. Uhem, politics. It seems clear that their stance changes depending on the temperature of the water.
Now THIS is a debate! This makes last week look like an episode of Gilligan.
Halliburton…oh Edwards shut up. What does this have to do with the Iraqi war? Who gives a crap about the contract? Somebody was gonna get the job. So he shoved his old company in there. I don’t care. If Hollywood came to me next week and asked me to hire a director and writer I’d go to my friends. Go back to attacking him about 9-11 and Saddam. Push the issue. Fight. Fight. FIGHT. I want battle!
That was a good point. Everyone forgets that the Iraqis are fighting this war with us. That they too are making sacrifices for freedom. That they want this. Good point.
Lord Vader you sly dog, that’s not entirely true. I thought Zarqawi had a camp in an independently run area of Iraq. I might have to look that up but I think you’re stretching the truth on that one. Granted that’s dotting the i’s and crossing the t’s but somebody’s gonna call you on it.
LOL, “There are 60 countries who have members of al Qaeda in them. How many of those countries are we going to invade?” Uh, how about all of them? Look, chief, either you are going to fight the fight or this is all a ploy to get a really cool addition to your resume. But that fact is you’re losing the ground your boss won from me last week.
More Halliburton. Yes, Edwards, business is questionable. All business you donkeydick ambulance chaser. Stay on the subject you bozo. You telling me you never fudged on your taxes?
factcheck.com…If I go there will I get audited for questioning Lord Vader’s rule?

“33 of 36 meetings? 70 percent of the intelligence meetings? “Senator Gone”? First time I met you was when you walked on stage tonight.”
Wow.
In a screenplay you would write that as —
KAFWAM!
Oh, and Cheney followed it up with a nice point. The fact that we have less suicide attacks in Israel is because Saddam is no longer in business? Not a bad point. Of course, tomorrow half of Israel will explode in an effort to prove you wrong but it’s still a good point.
Good work, Eddie. Nice to see you did your Cheney voter history homework. Still not as bad as being absent from the job you’ve been paid to do but I give a point for effort. Although, everybody knows plastic guns are cool.
Why do I believe Cheney’s figures but not Eddie’s figures? I think Cheney’s using the force on me. “These are not the droids you’re voting for.”
KUH-SCHMACK!
Oh, man, I gotta get that quote later…
(okay, it’s later) CHENEY: Yesterday, the president signed an extension of middle-class tax cuts, the 10 percent bracket, the marriage penalty relief and the increase in child tax credit. Senators Kerry and Edwards weren’t even there to vote for it when it came to final passage.
Holycow was that a slam.
Wow, the Vice President of the United States just said he didn’t agree with the President’s stance on gay marriage. That’s a ballsy move. You go, boy.
LOL, Edwards just outed Cheney’s daughter.
Oh man…okay, I know young Ms. Cheney was already out but still. He could have phrased that better. I think it was sincere but still. And now Eddie’s muddying the waters. Either you are for it or against it. So long term gay relationship should have rights but they can’t marry? What about short term. Who decides how long is long term. She asked if you were trying to have it both ways. It sounds like you are trying to have it both ways. I’m confused. Are there any lawyers in the house who might clarify for me?
I like how Cheney handled the gay marriage thing. Felt classy.
Eddie just admitted that we have too many lawsuits. Eddie who got rich from personal injury cases.
LOL, personal injury cases don’t have much to do with high rising medical costs. Oh that is stunningly beautiful. And they call Bush the liar.
NO, say it ain’t so, Eddie. Tell me you didn’t use a tax loophole. You better start talking about Halliburton again.
Doh, you heard me didn’t you?!
You guys are losing your steam. I didn’t know those stats about black women in the states with AIDS. Hmm, and obviously our VP didn’t either. Forgivable that I didn’t know. Somebody didn’t read a memo I’m thinking.
Well, you both blew that one. The question was specifically NOT about Africa and you are both talking Africa. Neither one of you read your memos.
Dang, you go girl. What makes you think you qualify to be our VP? A good question. Hmm, well I guess he’s qualified because he’s met Europeans.
LOL, you want me to answer a question about his qualifications?
YES.
OH, friggin frickety frick. You took the high road. Darth, buddy, his throat was exposed and your friggity friggin light saber was blazing…sigh.
Gulp.
“It’s a very significant responsibility when you consider at a moment’s notice you may have to take over as president of the United States…”
Wow, that’s really what it boils down to isn’t it? God-forbid the Cowboy fall off his horse or the Surfer slips on some ketchup but which of these morons would we want running the country if that happened?
I’d have go go with Darth Vader. Maybe in a few years, after Luke’s had a chance to get all of those picking up power converters with the boys thing out of his system, then maybe he’d be our man. Life and government experience under the belt before you leap into the standby position for the role of the most powerful man on the planet. But not yet. Not now. You’re not ready.
How do they differ? Classy answer, Darth. Senator Edwards, she asked you not to mention your boss’s name. Yes, it’s wrong the second time you do it too. I’ll cut you some slack. it’s been a long night…and a good debate.
Both of you did very well. Senator Edwards, you were much as I expected you to be. You are a trial attorney and it shows. VP Cheney, you surprised me. You were much more likable than I ever gave you credit. You are also articulate and scary. If I was going into battle, no doubt I’d choose you at my side. And I’d like to thank you for not hurting Senator Edwards physically because I kept expecting your lower jaw to dislodge and that you might devour him like a boa.
No doubt both of these clowns love their country. That goes a long way with me.
Well, Kerry certainly won last week. Only the pigheaded right wingers would argue that point. Looked to me like Cheney took this one. It wasn’t the landslide of last week but then few base their votes on VPs so this debate probably doesn’t matter that much.
Presently Chris Matthews is cracking us up. He doesn’t cut anyone any slack. And that’s how it should be. MSNBC and FoxNews. I know, I know, everyone condemns FoxNews but they’re not nearly as slanted as CNN. I read both every morning and FoxNews slams the cons twice as much as CNN slams the libs. Remember, the key phrase, “Everybody lies…even you, so shut up and vote.”
Earlier today I had an interesting conversation with a friend of mine who falls just left of the line. With me standing just on the right it makes for some interesting discussions. What’s interesting is that we both crossover on certain issues. He believes in flat tax, I believe in gay marriage. We both abhor abortion but believe in stem cell research.
We were discussing the Internet rumor that Bush was planning on reinstating the draft when in fact the Democrats were behind the proposal. And I asked the question, “With both sides slanting the issues, with both sides being less than honest, how does one choose?”
And he replied, “It’s easy. Whichever party is in office, you vote them out.” Nobody wins more than once because nobody deserves it.
I thought that was great. It’s an interesting concept. Of course, the only way it works is if the bozos in charge understand that this is the new way of voting until they learn to return to honesty. I want the facts. I don’t want the slant.
Still with MSNBC. Joe Scarborough and little Ronnie Reagan’s After Hours show has us in stitches. The entire panel gives the victory to Cheney, the Internet says it’s 30/60 Edwards. They just accused the 60 percent of drinking vodka. I like vodka.
Well, there you have it. My opinion…which of course, could be wrong, but probably isn’t. Be safe.
sigh…MovableType doesn’t want to post. I’ll do it in the morning.
…morning. Let’s see if this baby will post now. And we’ll add a little Rodney for good measure.
