Palin is pleasant to listen to and isn’t too hard on the eyes. That’s about it.
But on the last post by Arraya, I think that staying in Iraq to “Oversee the oil supplies” will possibly be what keeps us there long term.
I’ve heard that the US has secrectly desired having a foothold in the middle east for some time. This definitely achieves that goal.
Bush has said that history will prove this war to have been the correct choice. Wouldn’t it be strangely unsettling if we end up in agreement with his statement? (Not you jf, we already know what you think….)
If the US continues to occupy Iraq and at some point begins to benefit from the oil there, especially with China willing to soak it up from all other sources at any price, it could, in a twisted way gain support. But, this would confirm that Bush used WMD as an empty excuse to go into Iraq, which is what everyone thought to begin with…

Not a fan of Clinton-Pelosi-Reid, but at this point in time? Fuck the GOP. Borrow-n-spend fiscal crackpots, flag-pin patriots, religious nutjobs, airport bathroom queers. Republicans are ridiculous. Palin is a prop. McCain has cancer.
I’m ex-GOP, conservative foreign / fiscal policy. Obama is the real thing. Constitutional scholar, pragmatic consensus-builder and old-school responsible. Kill Osama Bin Laden. Re-tool our economy now, get off foreign oil. Enough of the GOP. Voting for Obama / Biden.

Hey Gandalf,
I was wondering when you were going to post again.
Here check this out:
“Per the Wall Street Journal September 11, 2008, “Obama’s Lost Years,” Obama graduated from Columbia University (to which he transferred after his first two years at Occidental College in California), with a degree in Political Science without honors, so had a GPA less than a 3.3, and perhaps far, far lower, perhaps even in the 2.0, C range. His roomate Sohale Siddiqi indicated Obama itially felt alienated, felt “very lost,” and used drugs to get high, which could have led to very low grades initially. The roomate indicates that he then turned serious and “stopped getting high.” Obama transferred to Columbia because “I was concerned with urban issues and I wanted to be around more black folks in big cities.” Based on his less-than 3.3 GPA, it seems likely his admission to Harvard Law School was based not on his own merit, but rather on Affirmative Action. Obama through September 11, 2008 has continued to refuse to release his Columbia transcript with the exact course details and GPA.”
Gandalf, Obama is an Emperor without clothes.

October 5, 2008 at 7:55 PM #281631CoronitaParticipantI’ll add my 2 cents here.
Actually, I’m pretty happy these days. Originally, I was pretty pissed that Obama’s proposed tax law “for the wealthy” would only be screwing my family. It turns out especially with this bailout bill, the impeding crisis in our social security, and state levels, and no clear sign obama is gonna pull out of the war, and Biden’s pledge not to reduce social security retire benefits to the baby boomers, all it means is he and a Democrat congress is gonna end up sticking it to everyone, including all you singles that make $100k +-10k, so relatively, speaking everyone’s going to get shafted. But that’s all that matters, as long as everyone is equally opportunity shafted, I’m no longer gonna complain about this tax on the “wealthy”.
I think pretty soon, everyone’s gonna feel it…Yes, even you stockstrader, who is up 29% in the stock market, who can look forward to seeing that nice 29% gain in short term trading appear taxed as income, which will nicely bump you up to the higher bracket:)..And everyone is gonna be pissed, because you’ll find out most of this money will be spent as before on government waste and bailout bills that will go nowhere…
Also, I’m happy a lot of the small business taxes breaks are most likely going to be preserved now that we’re in this shithole of an economy. As of now, I can legitimately report losses for 3 new businesses we’ve started over the next 3 years, which is approximately how long the next administration will last.
Time to start talking to your CPA’s people. It’s time to start acting poor.
You know, I feel kinda weird these days. I’m actually pretty jovial despite all the crap that’s happening in the financial markets. People seem so much more nicer when the economy is in the shitcan.
I should stop inhaling so much i guess πOctober 5, 2008 at 7:55 PM #281910CoronitaParticipantI’ll add my 2 cents here.
