I'm tardy in getting to this but the below clip from the Onion News Network is great, especially the part about John Edwards (including one well-placed profanity):
Poll: Mitt Romney Is Candidate Most Voters Want To Get Into Bar Fight With
In other video news, Jenna Bush got some notice for calling her Pops while taping the Ellen DeGeneres show:
I mention that video because it inspired a wonderful case of profanity-laden BDS over at the Slog. Note in particular the quintuple-word insult (in italics) directed at Bush toward the end of the post.
Why on God's Green Earth is the word "professional" included in that insult? I'm delightfully mystified.

When it became clear that there was no way to fudge the results, Mr. Chávez conceded defeat, though the margin of his loss is still being debated." WSJ editorial, 12/4/07
Can folks in Washington do what the students did?
Just askin'
As far as I am concerned, we can't get enough of the BDS crazed Nutroots left. The more these people show their real stripes, the less chance that any Democrat has of being taken seriously. It's only going to take one good BDS meltdown, at the right highly visible moment, to sink HIllary or Obama.
These people are animals that can't contain themselves. They go so far beyon argumentation that its sick. They've taken President Bush's ineptitude and convoluted it in their minds to a place worse than Hitler or whatever you can imagine as the worst evil that world has ever know. It takes a truly special fool to get to the full BDS mental state. And we get to meet so many of them right here in our own Seattle.
The Stranger is written by a bunch of nitwits who refused to grow up and somehow figured out a way to get someone to pay them for remaining children.
Not that I don't read their paper every now and then, I liked knowing what was going on in the music scene and film world as much as the next guy, but referring to them as "professionals" begs the question: "Professionals at what?"

Posted by: thecomputerguy on December 6, 2007 12:39 PMbill h: non-partisan historians will differ with that established credo. wait until jan 2009 when they look for hallmarks of this admin--wrong on iraq, wrong on the deficit, wrong on putin, wrong on musharaff, where's osama?, wrong on climate change, wrong on homeland security.
this economy is hurting far more than the dow lets on. the middle class was sold out big time over the last 7 years (of course, the middle class was complicit in this process).
swatter: my life is certainly better than it was 10 years ago, largely b/c i've grown older and become more established professionally. i attribute this to neither party or its leader/president.
that said, 6 years of republicans running up a major deficit has me concerned about future taxes and the strength of the dollar versus other currencies. some of my best performing investments over the last 2 years are mutual funds in countries other than our own.
mind you, i don't take much comfort in dems. i think that we, as a nation, have drifted away from some core principles that transcend party lines. immediate gratification, deficit spending (on a personal as well as governmental level) are just a couple of traits we seem to overlook, tolerate, or otherwise accept.
Posted by: dinesh on December 6, 2007 04:01 PMwhat i mean when i say climate change is that we, as a people, cannot continue to consume fossil fuels at our current rate without consequence. those consequences may still be debated, i am not interested in hashing that out here. rather, i prefer to focus on the "inputs", and those are increasing destabilizing. just as you can't consumer cheeseburgers and sodas all day long and expect to remain healthy, nor can we consume energy at our current rate without consequence.
bush was wrong on this issue--if nothing else, by ignoring it, he let the opposite agenda get out ahead, only to ultimately 'embrace' that agenda when the momentum overtook his position.
bush, jr. has screwed everything he touched as a professional matter. he failed upwards, this last time at our expense, literally.
Since I reentered the ratrace, I feel comfortable with the money I am making for the effort I have to put in. Without the tax cuts, it wouldn't be worth the effort. I hope the tax cuts continue.
And I agree with fossil fuel discussion since eventually they will run out. It is better to start exploring other options, but we still need the fossil fuels.
As for overspending by the Rs, it would have been double that with the Ds, so take some solace there. And I just love the Senatorial leadership, except I thought Kay Bailey should have been selected over LaMar.
