“Speedy” is a stupid word for “fast”, as is “lengthy” for “long” etc. Slow is a speed too, short is a length too, you get it.
A really self medicated Spaceman Spiff says:
Be wary of hypotension (low blood pressure) when sitting or lying down for a long time while smoking up on an empty stomach. Marijuana dilates your veins (relaxes them, if you will), and an empty stomach exacerbates this. Why? Because your metabolism is focusing solely on processing the THC and other cannabinoids, and therefore processes it a WHOLE LOT FASTER than if you were digesting some food as well. So, yeah, it hits ya hard.

Have you ever noticed how nothing in the “Humpty Dumpty” nursery rhyme implies that Humpty is in fact an egg?

I actually believed that there were real people running around that looked like The Hamburgler robbing peoples houses. There’s no point to that story, it’s just a story.
“[Rappers] need to be quiet, super quiet on Barack,” Scarface agreed. “All it takes is for a mutha—-er getting out there being real [ghetto] and people will be like, ‘We don’t wanna f— with Obama’; they’ll wanna smash on him because of what somebody else said. [Someone] speaks for himself and its Barack’s fault? What did Luda say – that’s Barack’s fault? Is it Barack’s fault what I’m saying? I don’t wanna be the reason he don’t get [the presidency]!”
Young Jeezy says:
“We’re a small part of it, but we’re showing our support to show that we are aware of what’s going on and where it’s going,” said Young Jeezy, whose forthcoming LP features a duet with Nas called “My President.” (Check out a clip of the song right here.) “We really want change. We really need it. It’s not the same no more.
“I’m not endorsing the dude because he’s black,” he continued. “Listen to what he’s saying: He’s saying what I wanna hear, just like my favorite rapper. If [an MC] is saying what I wanna hear, I’mma go buy his album. If [a candidate] is saying what I wanna hear, I’mma go vote for him. I can vote, by the way. Watch me, I’m going to register to vote.”
The Man says:
Indeed, Craig Werner, a professor at the University of Wisconsin in Madison who teaches courses on black music and hip-hop culture, said a potential pitfall for Obama is the often “horribly distorted” depiction of hip-hop in the mainstream media. “The most problematic hip-hop gets 90 percent of the coverage in the non-music press,” Werner said. “Hip-hop is associated in so many people’s minds with crime, drugs and misogyny, so Obama’s faced with a constellation of problematic images. The question is: How do you send a message that doesn’t wind up demonizing somebody?”
I went throught the intertubes and dug up some links for our everexpanding international readers. I’m also thinking about those who are stuck and work and have no way of seeing the debate on TV. Welcome all!
I was bored by the first debate, and with the Biden and Palin debate. I don’t expect anything new this time either. So I’ve decided that just for kicks, I’m going to watch from the live streams and review them for future use ( I’ll just probably tell you which I liked better).
On TV, in my opinion, the CNN graph thingy is fierce. At least CNN is forced to drive the narrative with their “poll” and it has usually correlated decently with the post debate polls. It makes it more intersting as well. Watch how if dips everytime McFailin says “Maverick” or goes negative.
You saw it with your own eyes folks. The biggest name in America who had yet to weigh in on the political debate has spoken. As some of you may recall, Homer was seriously contemplating an independent run to the White House. Although he walked back on those statements some time ago, he had not come out and openly stated who he would vote for. Many pundits believed McCain had the advantage because of Homer’s close relationship with Fox. Although Homer tried to keep his preference a secret ( voting for a liberal? Flanders would have a fit!) the paparazzi proved that not even voting is sacred to them.
The magnitude of this endorsement can not be underestimated.
Homer Simpson is a HUGE name and given the current political climate, this is a tremendous coup for Team Obama.
Barack Obama’s team believes he can win by a landslide
Statewide surveys put the likely Electoral College result at a slender Obama win, 273-265. But his campaign staff believe they have a good chance of securing between 330 and 340 votes, and could win up to 364 votes, a landslide on the scale of Bill Clinton’s wins.
Can you imagine watching the Palin interview with Couric while in the same room as McCain and Co?
“Pass me the gasoline AND the matches Cindy!”
Who wants to play?
Guess who said what .
WARNING : Actual quotes from 2 people. Not 1. 2. For realz.
That’s why I say I, like every American I’m speaking with, we’re ill about this position that we have been put in where it is the taxpayers looking to bail out. But ultimately, what the bailout does is help those who are concerned about the health care reform that is needed to help shore up our economy. Um, helping, oh, it’s got to be all about job creation, too, shoring up our economy and putting it back on the right track. So health care reform and reducing taxes and reining in spending has got to accompany tax reductions, and tax relief for Americans.

The grand finale!
And trade, we’ve got to see trade as opportunity not as a competitive, scary thing. But one in five jobs being created in the trade sector today, we’ve got to look at that as more opportunity. All those things under the umbrella of job creation. This bailout is a part of that.
Here’s a great chart for those who still don’t understand what she means.
Here’s a great chart I found for those who still don’t understand what she means.
People can switch their vote just as fast back to McCain or to undecided. And we know national polls are just beauty contests anyway.
But damn it!
THIS POLL IS FIERCE!
I know this is likely a semi-outlier, but it still makes my day!
Also, the CNN poll (51-45) isn’t an outlier anymore, so we’ve got that working for us too.
The poll has great internals as well.
Feel free to post your favorite one!
Sarah Palin is a GAME CHANGER!!!!!
The survey also found that the strong initial public reaction to Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin, McCain’s running mate, has cooled somewhat. Overall, her unfavorable rating has gone up by 10 points in the past two weeks, from 28 percent to 38 percent.
People love winners and Obama is just a point away from that mythical “double digit lead”.
Who doesn’t like getting on the bandwagon?
I’ll bet all those kids (me) were harcore Chicago Bulls fans back in the days because they had pretty cool uniforms.
It had nothing to do with Jordan and the fact they seemed so dominant.
A double digit point is huge if only for narrative purposes.
This fresh poll further cements Obama’s dominance during the current economic crisis.
Understands Economic Problems:
Obama: 57%
McCain: 33%
The impression these days is that “The Deregulators” have never been able to fix the economy, they are amateurs and cronyfeeders.
Whereas the Democrats are the ultimate professionals.
The ones who can make it work and get shit straightened out.
Can we finally get these jokers out of power?
Don’t get too excited though. The debates still remain and it’s not a guarantee Obama will do well. McCain is a scrappy piece of shit and will lie through his yellow teeth all throughout the debate to avoid looking like the crazy lunatic that he is.
Even if he pwns McCain all over the stage, most people will believe what the talking heads feed them.
So let’s keep working!
What would smarter people than me say?
We can’t start counting votes yet.
Let’s fight like we are 10 points down.
Continue to work the ground game hard to get that “mythical” double digit lead
Knock on every door.
Call every phone.
Do it until ALL polls are closed.
Every one of us needs to sprint to the finish with our best efforts.
Let’s remain cautiously optimistic and keep working hard. It’s great news but there are still 41 days left.
No dancing in the streets tonight, please.
Except me of course…
As John McCain was driving down the freeway, his cell phone rang.
Answering, he heard his wife’s voice urgently warning him…
“John, I just heard on the news that a car is going the wrong way on Route 280.”
” Please be careful!”
To which he replied…
“It’s not just one car Cindy!”
“It’s hundreds of them!”
You’re driving in the wrong direction Maverick!!!
FREIGHT TRAINNN!!!!!!!
By treating Sarah Palin different from the other candidates in this race, you are not showing her the respect she deserves. Free Sarah Palin! Free her from the chauvinistic chain you are binding her with. Sexism in this campaign must come to an end. Sarah Palin has just as much a right to be a real candidate in this race as the men do. So let her act like one.”
Now this is what I call a rant!
For comedic effect, I’ll remind you all of this little quote.
Sarah Palin: Hillary’s “whine” doesn’t do women any good
Whine? Heh.
Hillary never whined.
Maybe you don’t need to whine when you actually have the qualifications to be Commander in Chief.
I don’t think Hillary can see Alaska from her house though!
