Yes, thank goodness the oppressed wealthy white Christians will be represented, for once.

The wealthier a self-described evangelical person is, the more he or she appreciates McCain's stump speech?

Anyone who would pay $2000 for this crapfest is fucked in the head, I wouldn't pay that to see John Lennon raised from the dead.
If you want to watch, it's about time for Phelps. FYI.

The start of a great rap tune, there.

apparently who is in the audience means nothing to the SCLM. This just in, Dave Gergen on CNN: "Obama is going to have to pick up his game if he hopes to contend in the debates; John M was thoughful, PATRIOTIC, powerful; BHO was thoughtful but he did not move the needle; "we" have to change the way we view this contest."
This clusterfuck was anutter waste of BHO's time, & was cannon-fodder for the "race is even, what's wrong w/ BHO" crowd, i.e., the entire Village.
Why Oh Why did BHO agree to this ambush??
If you have to ask the church how much, then you can't afford the church.

Dana Bash : Obama looked like Kerry tonight.
The Kiss of death. Obama did himself no favors tonight with his long winded Kerry-esque answers. This bum is going down hard. Tanking badly. Everyone, including David Gergen, gave the night to McCain. Keep whistling past the graveyard ,Obamabots.

Nobody could have predicted that a crowd of wealthy white evangelical old people would give a warmer reception to McCain than that presumptuous Obama.

I watched McCain a bit, I thought he sucked.

That was pretty obnoxious.
This "church" needs a 60 Minutes investigation of the sort they gave Benny Hind or whatever his name is and a few others.
A "congregation" of 23,000? That isn't a pastorate, it's a freakin corporation. And the boss is way more a CEO than a "pastor", which as best I recall from my involuntarily church-going youth, means "shepherd."
Point being, I have not the slightest doubt that this joint is rigged for network-quality sound and video feeds already. They did not need to spend one red cent of this "admission" charge on their claimed excuse. So how much did they make off this little gig tonight and where did it go?
Media? Oh meeeedia...wherefore art though, investigative media?
I feel like I'm calling my younger, stupider and very badly behaved dog here. With the same results: none to speak of.
All these buff, naked guys. Looks like Friday night at Larry Craig's place.
Speaking of vodka, Snow turned me on to a little distillery in South Carolina, Firefly, which produces a sweet tea vodka that I am dying to try.
It's just beginning to be distributed here in Florida this month. The distributor told me (yes, of course I called) to call back nearer the end of the month to find out exactly where.

Look at the bottom seam of their jackets. Makes it obvious. Either John McCain was wearing platforms or he's got the longest legs of any human.
He'll wear them for the debates, too. Hope he don't fall.
And euphronious thought Phelps wasn't going to win more than four. Sometimes, the hype is justified.
Oh, and fuck off, jack.

Candy Crowley of CNN better start pushing herself away from the table. I missed the evangelical circus but I heard Dana Bash and Crowley and shut the television off.
Why can't we go back to the basic tenets of the Constitution and separation of church and state? The evangelicals have gotten too many concessions under Chimpy as it is.
Off to bed--sleep well.
If I had pot, I'd definitely smoke it.
I just have no idea how to get it. Seriously. I've smoked it now and then, but it was always provided by a friend or at a party or whatever ...
I don't know whether I'd ever get high alone. Never had the chance.

The Great Gazoo is a character from The Flintstones animated series. He first appeared on the show on October 29, 1965. He has many similarities to Mr. Mxyzptlk of the Superman comics, and may have been inspired by him. He is a tiny, green, floating alien, voiced by Harvey Korman, having been exiled to Earth from his home planet Zatox as punishment for having invented a doomsday machine, a weapon of immense destructive power, and was discovered by Fred and Barney when his flying saucer crashed. His invention was a button which would destroy the universe if pressed, though he insists he made it on a whim with no intent of using it

Second Mashpee High Graduate Killed Overseas
Army Pfc. Paul E. Conlon was killed in Afghanistan Friday, one day after a 2007 graduate was killed in Iraq.
Conlon, 21, was killed when a roadside bomb blew up the vehicle where he was serving as a gunner.
The family is holding a candlelight vigil in Conlon's memory on Monday at 8:30 p.m. at the Veterans Memorial across from the Mashpee Town Hall, his aunt, Victoria Baron said.
On Thursday, a second young man, 19-year-old Pfc. Daniel McGuire, was killed near Fallujah during an attack.
19 and 21 and they lived down the street from each other, too.
Jerome Corsi, author of the book, The Obama Nation and Unfit for Command about Kerry, did not serve in Vietnam himself; he was disqualified from induction during his draft physical on the grounds that he suffers from eczema.

"Plan 9" is full of intriguing metaphors and thoughtful existential insights.
Its very existence can only be good news for John McCain.
The first time I smoked pot, I was 11 years old. I got totally stoned, and my friends fucked with me by running ahead and then pretending that I was walking too slow to keep up with them. It was a very, very long time before I smoked it again. However, my later experiences were much more pleasant, and I wouldn't be at all opposed to partaking right now.

I think that Josh can justifiably call himself, BIG TIME now. I think we all must humble ourselves in his presence and from now on refer to him, not as Josh, but as BIG TIME JOSH or BTJ for short. (From Frank Rich in the New York Times)
. At Talking Points Memo, the essential blog vigilantly pursuing the McCain revelations often ignored elsewhere, Josh Marshall accurately observes that the Republican candidate is “graded on a curve.”
Most Americans still don’t know, as Marshall writes, that on the campaign trail “McCain frequently forgets key elements of policies, gets countries’ names wrong, forgets things he’s said only hours or days before and is frequently just confused.” Most Americans still don’t know it is precisely for this reason that the McCain campaign has now shut down the press’s previously unfettered access to the candidate on the Straight Talk Express.

All these bible thumping pricks have an agenda which usually results in them getting rich and somebody getting fucked. In this case the message is that white christian McSame is jebus's choice and the black guy with the muslim name may or may not be the antichrist. The sad part is that there are so many dumb fucks in this country who buy into this nonsense.
McCain, asked the toughest decision in his life, cited his refusal to be released ahead of fellow U.S. prisoners of war in North Vietnam. "It took a lot of prayer," he said.
So, as the son and grandson of American Admirals, he had to pray before following basic military law/rules/tradition that the servicemen held captive the longest get released first?
The right-wing echo chamberpots would shit themselves if Obama had said this.
Yep, two Jesuses. One for the rich and one for the poor.
An interesting idea for a commercial:
"On Evil"
Rick Warren: Does evil exist and what do we do about it?
Obama: Yes, evil exists in terrorist attacks and child abuse. As a soldier for God, we confront it as it's God's role to end it.
McCain: Yes, evil exists. We destroy it.
